I = Interviewer, M = Mitchell, E = Emma, Z = Zara, J = Joe, P = Paul
1. Mitchell
I What’s the best age, do you think?
M The best age? Erm ... I think maybe around twenty-one or twenty-two because at that age I’ll probably have a bit of money and a car. I work hard so I’m sure I’ll get a good job. I’ll definitely be living in my own place, that’s for sure.
2. Emma
I What’s the best age to get married?
E I think the best age to get married is probably around twenty-seven, something like that. I doubt that I’ll get married though because I like being single. You’ve got the freedom to do what you want to do.
3. Zara
I What do you want to do when you’re older?
Z I’m pretty sure that I’ll go to university and I might study engineering. After that, who knows? Maybe I’ll go travelling.
4. Joe
I Do you think that you’ll get rich in the future?
J You never know. I doubt it though. I don’t think I’ll be the boss of a company or anything like that. I don’t mind if I’m rich or not, as long as I’m happy and healthy and all my friends and family are, too.
5. Paul
I Would you like to live to be 100?
P Yeah, I would. But I’d like to be healthy and have someone to look after me when I get older. I think in the future most people will live until they’re 100 anyway.
Tạm dịch:
1. Mitchell
I = người phỏng vấn, M = Mitchell, E = Emma, Z = Zara, J = Joe, P = Paul
I Bạn nghĩ độ tuổi nào là đẹp nhất?
M Độ tuổi đẹp nhất? Ừm... tôi nghĩ có lẽ khoảng 21 hoặc 22 vì ở tuổi đó có lẽ tôi sẽ có một ít tiền và một chiếc ô tô. Tôi làm việc chăm chỉ nên tôi chắc chắn mình sẽ có được một công việc tốt. Tôi chắc chắn sẽ sống ở nơi riêng của mình, đó là điều chắc chắn.
2. Emma
I Độ tuổi nào tốt nhất để kết hôn?
E Tôi nghĩ độ tuổi tốt nhất để kết hôn có lẽ là khoảng hai mươi bảy, đại loại thế. Tuy nhiên, tôi nghi ngờ về việc mình sẽ kết hôn vì tôi thích sống độc thân. Bạn có quyền tự do làm những gì bạn muốn làm mà.
3. Zara
I Bạn muốn làm gì khi lớn hơn?
Z Tôi khá chắc chắn rằng mình sẽ vào đại học và có thể học ngành kỹ thuật. Sau đó thì ai biết được? Có lẽ tôi sẽ đi du lịch.
4. Joe
I Bạn có nghĩ rằng bạn sẽ giàu có trong tương lai?
J Bạn sẽ chẳng bao giờ biết đa. Kể chả chính tôi cũng nghi ngờ điều đó. Tôi không nghĩ mình sẽ trở thành ông chủ của một công ty hay bất cứ điều gì tương tự. Tôi không quan tâm mình giàu hay không, miễn là tôi hạnh phúc, khỏe mạnh và tất cả bạn bè, gia đình tôi cũng vậy.
5. Paul
I Bạn có muốn sống đến 100 tuổi không?
P Ồ có chứ. Nhưng tôi muốn được khỏe mạnh và có người chăm sóc khi tôi già đi. Tôi nghĩ trong tương lai hầu hết mọi người đều sẽ sống đến 100 tuổi.

Finished? (SGK Friends Plus - Trang 51)
Look again at the age groups in exercise 1. Which one do you think is the best age? Why?
Thảo luận (1)Hướng dẫn giảiI think that we don’t have a perfect age. Because every age is a part of our life, and an important phase from our growing up until now. However, I think that being 16 – 25 years old can be a great time to explore different aspects of life and find out what we’re really passionate about. It’s also a time when we’re usually more carefree and less constrained.
