Bài tham khảo
A: This week, I haven't managed to finish reading the book I started. I've been so busy with work and other responsibilities that I haven't had much time to sit down and read.
B: Oh, I understand. It can be hard to find time for leisure activities when life gets busy. As for something that has had me laughing recently, I watched a hilarious comedy special on Netflix the other night. It had me laughing so hard I couldn't catch my breath!
B: Well, one thing I haven't managed to get done this week is organizing my closet. I keep telling myself I'll do it, but somehow it always gets pushed to the bottom of my to-do list.
A: I can relate to that! Sometimes tasks like organizing seem to linger on the list forever. As for something that has had me laughing recently, I stumbled upon some funny cat videos on social media. Those little furballs never fail to put a smile on my face!
Tạm dịch
A: Tuần này, tôi vẫn chưa đọc xong cuốn sách mà tôi đã bắt đầu. Tôi quá bận rộn với công việc và những trách nhiệm khác nên không có nhiều thời gian để ngồi đọc sách.
B: Ồ, tôi hiểu. Thật khó để tìm được thời gian cho các hoạt động giải trí khi cuộc sống trở nên bận rộn. Về điều khiến tôi bật cười gần đây, tôi đã xem một bộ phim hài đặc biệt vui nhộn trên Netflix vào tối hôm nọ. Nó làm tôi cười đến không thở nổi!
B: À, có một việc tôi chưa hoàn thành được trong tuần này là sắp xếp tủ quần áo của mình. Tôi luôn tự nhủ mình sẽ làm việc đó, nhưng không hiểu sao nó luôn bị đẩy xuống cuối danh sách việc cần làm của tôi.
A: Tôi có thể liên tưởng đến điều đó! Đôi khi những công việc như dự định dường như cứ tồn tại mãi trong danh sách. Về điều khiến tôi cười gần đây, tôi tình cờ xem được một số video hài hước về mèo trên mạng xã hội. Những quả bóng lông nhỏ đó không bao giờ thất bại trong việc mang lại nụ cười trên khuôn mặt tôi!
