Du lịch4 请问 opens a question to a stranger and is the courteous equivalent of "excuse me". 怎么走 asks for directions on foot, not by vehicle. 一路平安 - a peaceful road the whole way - is what you say to someone setting out on a journey.
Giới thiệu1 我很好，谢谢 answers 你好吗, and note the 很: a bare 我好 sounds incomplete, because Chinese adjectives need a degree word or they imply a comparison. 很 here is not "very" - it is simply holding the place.
Mua sắm1 可以便宜一点吗 - can it be a bit cheaper - is the polite opening for haggling, and the 一点 is what keeps it polite: it asks for a small concession rather than naming a price. Bargaining is normal in markets, not in shops with price tags.
Thời gian2 现在几点 uses 几 because clock hours are under twelve - the small-number rule from the beginner set applies here. 今天星期几 asks the day of the week, and Chinese weekdays are simply numbered: 星期一 is Monday, day one.
Cách diễn đạt6 恭喜恭喜 doubles because doubling warms a greeting - 谢谢谢谢 works the same way. 保重 - take care of yourself - is said at a parting that may be long, not on an ordinary goodbye, and 我爱你 is used more sparingly in Chinese than its English equivalent.
