Do you go to sleep early or stay up late?

I generally opt for an early bedtime (chọn đi ngủ sớm – to decide to sleep early) because I believe it helps maintain a well-balanced lifestyle (lối sống cân bằng – a healthy and stable way of living). Sticking to a regular sleep schedule allows me to feel more energetic and mentally alert (tỉnh táo về tinh thần – fully awake and focused) during the day. For instance, when I sleep early, I can tackle my daily tasks without feeling drained or overwhelmed. This habit has become an indispensable part of my daily routine (thói quen hàng ngày – activities done regularly)>> tham khảo CẦN VIẾT & THU ÂM BAO NHIÊU BÀI ĐỂ ĐẠT 8.0 SPEAKING & 7.0 WRITING?

What were you doing when you stayed up late last time?

The last time I stayed up late, I was burning the midnight oil (thức khuya làm việc – working or studying late into the night) to finish an important project report. I had a tight deadline, so I had to work nonstop until the early hours. For example, I was proofreading and editing the document to ensure it was error-free and well-structured. Although it was exhausting, I felt satisfied because my hard work paid off in the end.
