Audio script:

Ngoc: Today we’re talking about your hobby, collecting glass bottles. It’s quite unusual, isn’t it?

Mi:       Yes, it is.

Ngoc:  When did you start your hobby?

Mi:       Two years ago. I watched a TV programme about this hobby and liked it right away.

Ngoc:  Do you share this hobby with anyone?

Mi:       Yes, my mum loves it too.

Ngoc:  Is it difficult?

Mi:     No, it isn’t. I just collect all the beautiful glass bottles after we use them. My grandmother also gives me some.

Ngoc: What do you do with these bottles?

Mi:     I can make flower vases or lamps from them. I keep some unique bottles as they are and place them in different places in the house. They become home decorations.

Ngoc:  Do you think you will continue your hobby in the future?

Mi:       Certainly, it’s a useful hobby. It can help save the environment.

Ngoc:  Thank you, Mi.
