2. Describe a trip you would like to take
   I long to travel solo someday — not for Instagram pictures, but to really be with myself, meet strangers, get lost in small streets, and just… feel the world without noise. I think deep down, I long to be free without needing to explain why.

Question 3

nail sth (v)

Answer 3

làm 1 điều gì đó rất tốt (=success)

He doesn’t talk much, but his actions really convey kindness and calmness. I’ve learned a lot just by observing the way he listens and responds to people.

Question 5

assign (v)

Answer 5

phân công

Part 3 – Do you think leaders should assign tasks or let people choose?
I think it’s best to do both. A good leader understands their team well and assigns roles based on people’s abilities. But giving some freedom can also keep the team more motivated.

tried-and-true (adj) (+method, technique, approach)

Answer 6

đã đc thử nghiệm và chứng minh là hiệu quả (=proven)

Question 9

identify with someone/sth

Answer 9

cảm thấy đồng cảm, liên quan đến ai đó :)
