For example: Man: I can say that I am very bad at drinking wine, but we Vietnamese often "drink". Woman: I am very bad at cooking because my mother said that, but I try to learn to cook well because in the future I like to cook for my family to enjoy. Please tell me your weaknesses. Pay attention to choose any weaknesses that do not affect the job they are hiring.
