Trang 6

Part 2: Describe an advertisement that you like to watch (Mô tả một quảng cáo mà bạn thích xem)

(Answer) Among the advertisements which are on TV or social media recently, I am really into seeing the one from Shopee Vietnam, which is a famous E-commerce service

(Reason) Well, I love that because firstly, it has celebrity endorsement of talented goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung and famous singer Bao Anh (Example) The two have got certain achievements in their own career, became rising stars and they have been so popular with most people In the advertisement, they wear matching clothes and look so good together; therefore, it is easy

to see that the commercial has received a huge number of views on social media such as Facebook or Youtube

(Reason) Secondly, it has unique and funny music (Example) The theme song for this advertisement is a remixed song from the original “Baby shark”

Trang 7

for kids It sounds very catchy and makes me want to dance and sing along everytime I see it (Alternatives) Although some people may not like it as the song is overplayed, many people agree with me that we are obsessed with

it now and we still like it a lot Additionally, I think this may be an effective and creative way of advertising, which helps the brand image grow more impressively into customers’ mind

Part 3: Do you think that advertisement on TV nowadays causes inconvenience for people? (Bạn có nghĩ rằng quảng cáo trên TV thời nay gây ra sự bất tiện cho mọi người không?)

(Answer) As a matter of fact, the amount of time for commercials is roughly one third of that for a TV program, which is very annoying (Example) Actually, despite being interested in watching advertisement, I myself feel that they are really interrupting when I am enjoying a good film series or TV show Normal advertisements are fine but those with inappropriate content, for example, those which are violent or adult-related issues may trigger anger for people

Từ vựng

1 Brief (adj): Ngắn gọn

2 Eye-catching (adj): Bắt mắt

3 Am really into (v): Rất thích

4 Celebrity endorsement (n): Quảng cáo có sự góp mặt

của những người nổi tiếng

Trang 8

Trang 9

Social network

Part 1

Are you interested in using social networking sites? (Bạn có thích sử dụng mạng xã hội không?)

(Answer) Yes, I certainly am (Reason) Using Facebook is my cup of tea as

I spend a huge amount of time scrolling down my news feed to keep myself

updated about my beloved people

As you know, Instagram has more than one billion users, an impressive number, for its unique features in addition to similar tools as Facebook which also allow users to chat and comment in others’ posts (Reason) Firstly, it has a wide range of filters so that users can edit their pictures in any color or form they want (Example) As a consequence, the images uploaded may look much more stylish and up-to-date when compared to those which are updated on other kinds of social networking sites

(Reason) Secondly, we can keep track of not only our friends but also other users, including celebrities or influencers from different parts of the world just

by a tool that is displayed when we log in our instagram account (Example)

Trang 10

As media has been increasing in popularity, communication now is not the only demand of people, especially youngsters as they want more than that and I think Instagram has met this need They want something different and trendy Many trends have also been created from this social platform and young people are the biggest beneficiary In short, Instagram is a user-friendly site and also ideal place for an energetic, modern and updated generation

or seeing their daily pictures and activities (Reason) Additionally, I think it is the emergence of different kinds of smart phone that enable people to get easier access to available social media applications and thus use them more often

Từ vựng:

- Cup of tea (n): Sở thích

- Scroll down (v): Lướt

- Keep oneself updated (v): Cập nhật

2 LOVE, DATING & MARRIAGE

Xem trước từ vựng và bài mẫu 3 Part Speaking:

IELTS Vocabulary - Topic: Marriage and Family ( Marriage & Family)

SAMPLE MODEL ANSWER

PART 2

Describe a couple you know who have a happy marriage

You should say:

- Who they are

- How you know them

- What they usually do together

- And how you feel about their marriage

Trang 13

SP: If someone asks me what I treasure most in my life, the answer could

be one and only – my family, who are not only my pillar of strength and support but also my inspiration in many ways I wouldn’t have become myself today without my parents’ guidance and their love for me, and, of course, for each other I will never get tired of my friends telling me how awesome and adorable my parents are despite both being almost 60 According to them,

my parents are real-life relationship goals My dad, an intelligent, thoughtful, strong and honorable man to the core, started his own business 20 years ago and has been working hard to achieve what he deserves He’s married

to a beautiful, loving and strong-willed woman who isn’t afraid to speak her mind

My parents have known each other for almost five decades and been pretty much in love all that time They usually tell us their legendary stories from when they were high school sweethearts until tying the knot and living their happily ever after, which often gets exaggerated though none of my siblings have ever complained Though my parents work in different fields, they tend

to seek the other’s input and opinions on numerous cases My dad always says mom is his greatest cheerleader in everything he does and she tells us

he is her rock One thing I have noticed about my parents is honesty and openness in the way they communicate Just like any other couples, mom and dad have also experienced many difficulties but how they handle them

is what makes them stronger I am so grateful to have been born and raised

in the family full of love where I can feel it every time coming home It is hard

to put into words all they have inspired in me They have molded and shaped

me into the person I am today and who I hope to be in the future

Trang 14

- to the core: all the way through; basically and essentially

- strong-willed (a): determined to do what you want to do, even if other people advise you not to

- speak one’s mind: express one’s feelings or opinions frankly

- high school sweetheart (n): a person with whom one was romantically involved at high school

- tie the knot (idiom): get married

- exaggerate (v): to make something seem larger, better, worse or more important than it really is

- mold (v): to strongly influence the way somebody’s character, opinions, etc develop

PART 3

1 If you are 35 years old without marriage, do you still waiting for your true love? Why?

I would say it might be the case since I’d prefer to stay single rather than end

up with the wrong person It is not a surprise, I believe, because there are plenty of people who still enjoy their every moment without a life partner On the one hand, the number of divorces or unhappy marriages have been increasing tremendously over the years and its consequences are upsetting

Trang 15

such as dysfunctional family, domestic violence, child neglect and the list could go on On the other hand, people can find happiness in different places and activities without committing their life to one particular person, especially those who aren’t worth it Therefore, I wouldn’t settle for anything less than what I deserve

Vocabulary:

 end up with (idiom): to finish with the possession of someone or something or in the company of someone or something

 dysfunctional (a): not working normally or properly

 domestic violence (n): family violence

 child neglect (n): a form of child abuse, and is a deficit in meeting a child’s basic needs, including the failure to provide adequate health care, supervision, clothing, nutrition, housing as well as their physical, emotional, social, educational and safety needs

 settle for anything less (n) commit to a person just because you feel like you can’t do any better

2 Who will pay for the wedding cost? Man or woman or both? Why?

Budget planning for weddings can be an extreme headache and deciding who pays what might not be easy since there are tons of expenses to cover such as the rings, floral arrangements, honeymoon and so on Hence, I believe depending on each couple’s financial status, they should carefully discuss and choose a cost-splitting option that works best for them For example, if both are financially abundant, they can share the cost equally

Trang 16

Otherwise, one who is more well-off can cover a greater portion of the expense

Vocabulary

 floral (a): made of flowers

 split (v): to divide, or to make something divide, into two or more parts

 abundant (a): existing in large quantities; more than enough

 well-off (a): having a lot of money

3 What do you think is the best age to marry?

I don’t believe that there is a right time for anything, marriage included It’s more about the maturity of the two people than the age itself, I think People mature at different rates, physically and emotionally, and not until after they can fully acknowledge their life issues and handle them with rationale and thorough consideration, are they ready to get settled and find happiness in their marriage life Besides, financial situation also plays a significant part in this once-in-a-lifetime decision Many divorces have been directly resulted from the lack of money or financial insecurity Therefore, only when people can fully support themselves, should they consider to start a family

Trang 17

 once-in-lifetime: very special because you will probably only have it once

 insecurity (n): the state of not being safe or protected

4 Do you think weddings in your countries waste lots of money?

It’s absolutely a yes to me Maybe I’m a minimalist, therefore, I consider weddings one of those occasions when people are willing to pour money down the drain with exorbitantly high and unnecessary items and ceremonies For example, in XYZ, where I come from, couples tend to have

a huge reception where hundreds of guests are invited while, in my opinion,

it should be an intimate one where people can share and celebrate the delight of life with their family and close friends only In addition, other wedding expenses including floral arrangements, invitations, photography, costumes and so many more also cost people more than they should since

I believe they’re more show than substance

Vocabulary

 minimalist (n): person who is interested in keeping things very simple

 pour money down the drain (idiom): to waste money; to throw money away

 exorbitantly (adv): to a very high degree that does not seem reasonable

 delight (n): a feeling of great pleasure

 more show than substance (idiom): value luxurious things rather than the quality

Trang 18

5 Why use lots of money for weddings?

I myself can hardly understand why couples are constantly spending an outrageous amount of money on their weddings but I may have some thoughts First of all, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime event, at least for most people, hence, they want to have a lavish celebration which no one can ever forget Whether it’s a wedding invitation or reception venue, everything has to be of top quality Secondly, big weddings might be a tradition in some countries It’s customary in many cultures to have several ceremonies and celebrations

in order to have a fulfilling married life Last but not least, they can afford it Some well-off couples love to show off their wealth and wedding is an ideal occasion

Vocabulary

 outrageous (a): very unusual and slightly shocking

 lavish (a): large in amount, or impressive, and usually costing a lot of money

 customary (a): if something is customary, it is what people usually do

in a particular place or situation

 fulfilling (a): causing somebody to feel satisfied and useful

6 In a traditional family in your country, what male do in the family? And what about female? Why?

Trang 19

It comes as no surprise that women are still responsible for most of the housework in a family, traditional or not Even though gender equality is actively promoted in modern society, there is still an imbalance in household chores division Housewives take care of almost everything from cooking, laundering, dish washing to house cleaning while their husbands are only concerned with some hard work occasionally such as mending pipes or gardening

 mend (v): to repair something that has been damaged or broken so that it can be used again

7 Do you think man should take care of baby? Why?

Both mother and father have fundamental roles in a child’s development from birth through adulthood, I believe Hence, men should be more active in raising kids since they can boost their children, intellectually and socially Research has shown that children who have a close father-child relationship are likely to have better social skills and fewer behavioral problems since they are more emotionally secure Meanwhile, a distant or non-existent

Trang 20

father-child bond could take a horrendous toll on a kid’s esteem and belief Thus, if you want to raise a well-rounded kid, pay attention to them

 horrendous (a): extremely unpleasant

 self-esteem (n): a feeling of being happy with your own character and abilities

 well-rounded (a): having a variety of experiences and abilities and a fully developed personality

8 Do you think man should do housework? Why?

Housework is definitely not women’s sole responsibility and men should share domestic chores with female members in family for his own good as well as others’ Becoming more disciplined and independent is the very first benefit when men take care of their own housework Most men, especially wealthy ones, prefer to have their housemaid do all the work from cleaning the house to cooking However, what if she gets sick or has emergency issues, are they willing to go out with dirty socks? Hence, no one can look after you better than yourself Furthermore, they are likely to become more

Trang 21

understanding and thoughtful husbands Men who are not shy away from

“housewife’s duties” will be more well-prepared for married life since they don’t mind rolling up their sleeves to help their family

Vocabulary

 for one’s own good (idiom): being or done for the benefit of oneself

 disciplined (a): able to control the way you behave and to make yourself do things that you believe you should do

 shy away from (phrasal verb): to avoid something that you dislike, fear,

or do not feel confident about

 roll up one’s sleeves (idiom): prepare to fight or work

9 What kind of traditional wedding in your country?

In XYZ, we celebrate weddings like most parts of the world, except with some extra special features in our ceremonies and costumes Normally, a bride will

be dressed in a white gown with an elegant bridal veil to complete her dreamy and stunning look She will be accompanied by several bridesmaids who are usually her close friends or relatives Meanwhile, tuxedo or suit is a groom’s attire in this special event and he also has his best man carry the wedding rings In addition, we do have our traditional wedding costumes which are far more sophisticated and cumbersome to wear, however, some couples still prefer them at other minor ceremonies beside the main one at the church

Vocabulary

Trang 22

 veil (n): a covering of very thin transparent material worn, especially by women, to protect or hide the face, or as part of a hat, etc

 accompany (v): to travel or go somewhere with somebody

 attire (n): clothes

 cumbersome (a): large and heavy; difficult to carry

Trang 23

3 ADVERSTING

QUESTION AND SAMPLE MODEL ANSWER Part 2

Describe an unforgettable advertisement that you saw or heard

You should say:

- Where you saw or heard it

- What kind of advertisement it was

- What the contents of the advertisement were

- and explain why this advertisement is so unforgettable

SP:

While waiting for my boyfriend to pick me up from work, I was watching advertisements on the TV in the lobby That night I saw an advertisement that has forever stuck in my mind

It was a commercial for Nike shoes with Michael Jordan In it he said, “I’ve missed more than nine thousand shots in my career I’ve lost almost three hundred games Twenty-six times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot but missed I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life, and that

is why I succeed.” I couldn’t get that commercial out of my mind, not because

I thought buying Nike shoes would make me as successful as Michael Jordan, but because of his unflinching determination and perseverance

Life is full of challenges and difficulties that test our level of commitment I believe having determination divides the winners from die losers Successful

Trang 24

people are not ones who have never failed, but those who kept trying As simple as this may sound, it is the one ingredient that separates the winners front the losers The one skill that winners acquire is an understanding that growth is only possible if you have the courage to change what you have been doing, if it is not achieving the result you desire Sometimes success is learning how to fall and recognizing that from that fall you will learn to grow And growth is what a fulfilling life is all about

QUESTION AND SAMPLE MODEL ANSWER Part 3

1 How do advertisements attract attention?

It all depends on what group of people the advertisement is aimed for Young people look if it’s cool, hip, or fashionable; whereas older people tend to be more practical-minded, so those in charge of advertising need to have a clear idea of who they will be targeting with their advertisement, and plan accordingly If the advertisement is geared to the younger generation, then showing how the product can help kids be more attractive, confident, or successful is good Catchy music also helps attract attention and helps listeners remember it If you’re trying to reach the older generation with your advertisement, explaining how the product will give them better health, or help them relax, or he happier may appeal to them

2 Do young and old people have the same attitudes towards advertisements?

Definitely not Every individual has his own unique attitude forward advertisements and die advantages and disadvantages that advertising brings Both old and young people are inclined to believe and think that

Trang 25

advertisements tend to be misleading, dishonest, phony, shallow, and at times annoying, especially when they’re not well made or dorky On the other hand, if done well, they can be very creative, humorous, artistic, and enjoyable to watch Those, however, are the exception, rather than the norm

3 Do you think advertisements are a good or bad influence on children?

Looking at todays children, I would have to say advertisements have predominately had a negative influence on their lives and character Ads create a discontentment with what children have and a desire to own more and to be like everyone else Advertisements usually tend to be unrealistic and give a false impression of how the children should he or what will happen when they buy the product

4 Do you think advertisements actually influence people to buy tilings? And How?

When seen a lot advertisements make products more familiar and ingrained

in people’s mind, so when they want to buy something, they will take a brand that they recognize In our country, people want to be like the West and so they buy what they see on TV that the Western people have They think that

if they have this Western product, they will be as cool as this person, which

is totally bizarre to my mind

Government control

5 Does the government control advertisements in any way?

Trang 26

Of course All TV media is controlled in some way by the government, so advertisements must be as well The government prevents advertisements from having inappropriate content or content that is not in line with government policy That is common in every country I’m sure that if the advertisement is within normal bounds, then the government wouldn’t have much to say about it

6 Do you think there should be controls on advertising?

Yes, I do Some things should not be advertised, such as cigarettes, which arc harmful to people’s health Most people arc aware of their existence, so they don’t need to be promoted more Children especially should not be shown advertisements that make harmful things look cool or interesting Advertisements that have age-inappropriate content should also be banned

7 Do you think that advertisements for products that harm the health, such as cigarettes, should be allowed?

Now you arc getting into freedom of choice and whether it would be better to just prohibit something from being advertised to get people to stop using the product, but unfortunately this just doesn’t work, as prohibition in the States found out The best thing would be for the products just to not be manufactured, but this doesn’t work either because then they would be produced illegally, becoming more dangerous

8 Can you think of any example of false advertising?

The biggest example that comes to my mind is McDonald’s advertisements Every time 1 go to McDonald’s, I see pictures of happy, thin people with big

Trang 27

smiles and perfect teeth holding hamburgers and cartons of French fries that are at least three tunes bigger than the real products This advertisement clearly ignores three glaring facts For one, if you cat at McDonalds a lot, you will not look like the people in the advertisement Two, the hamburger and French fries are nowhere near the size pictured Three, if you stand smiling lidding a burger, nobody will think you are cool

9 What kinds of products are most often (most easily) promoted by false advertising?

Well, most products are really promoted by false advertising I hate to sound

so cynical but I have a friend in the advertising business, and a lot of called experts advertising their product know absolutely nothing about it In the Held of beauty care products, this happens a lot The poor women sitting

so-at home with nothing to do except wso-atch TV me so susceptible In this kind

of advertising

You should say:

- What comedies have he/she performed

- And explain why he/she is popular

Band 6,5 Answer by IELTS test taker

Well, the popular comic actor I want to talk about today is Jim Parsons He

is a famous American actor, known for playing Sheldon Cooper in the sitcom

‘The Big Bang Theory’ He has received several awards for his performance, including four Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series Apart from the ‘Big Bang Theory’, Jim Parson has also achieved great performance in many other comedies, including the ‘Family Guy’ and so on Generally speaking, Jim Parsons is a very popular comic actor around the world, and many people, especially the young students are deeply attracted by his performance

The reason why he is popular is that the role he played in the comedy is so funny that people may fall in love with it at the first sight Here, I would like to take the role he played in the ‘Big Bang Theory’ for an example In this comedy, Jim Parson has performed a genius with high IQ, but extremely low

EQ vividly As soon as I see his funny facial expressions and interesting behaviors in the comedy, I cannot stop laughing As for the audience, especially the young university students, they like watching his comedies

during the free time, since it can help them alleviate the heavy daily pressure

So, that is why Jim Parsons is so popular

IELTS Speaking Part 3

1) Should actors be paid more?

Well, I think the actors should be paid more, what I want to mention firstly is that the actor is a hard work Generally speaking, the actors need to overcome many difficulties if they want to be successful, for example, some actors need to wear the clothes in summer during the winter, since the director wants to shoot the scene in summer Secondly, the actor is also a dangerous job For example, in an action film, the actor always needs to do some dangerous acts, like hanging the wire works, and so on Since the actor

is a dangerous and hard work, I suppose that the actors should be paid more

2) What influences do actors or actresses have on young people?

Well, there are many influences What I want to mention firstly is that the actors may influence the young people’s behaviors To be honest, every young student has his or her idol, in which case, the young people are always eager to know more about the idols’ lives in detail and will always learn from their idols Here, I would like to take myself as an example When I was young, my idol was Jay Chou At that time, he always donated money to help the people in need, so I regarded him as my example, and I also saved my pocket money and donated the money to help others in need Secondly, the actors will also influence the young people’s spiritual world Here, I would

Trang 35

like to take a favorite TV host named Ou Di for an example, he had suffered from lot of difficulties before becoming famous, so he always uses his own stories to encourage the young people to face the challenges with strong determination So, I think the actors will influence the young people’^ behaviors and spiritual worlds

3) Are there many people in your country who want to work as an actor?

Well, I think not a lot What I want to mention firstly is that it is very difficult to become a famous actor Honestly speaking, thousands of young students will graduate from the film school every year, but only a few of them will become famous So, becoming a famous actor is extremely difficult Secondly, the actor does not have his own privacy Nowadays, many people are interested in the private life of the actors and they are eager to dig in the privacy in detail So, the actor has to live under the spotlight all year long In this case, I feel that many people do not want to work as an actor

4) Who are more popular, TV stars or movie stars?

Well, I think the TV stars are more popular What I want to mention firstly is that the TV star can always appear on the screen In most of the cases, people like watching TV with their families in the evening If they are following

a certain TV series, they will always watch the same TV star over and over again during a certain period of time, and they will easily remember the star’s face Secondly, I think the TV stars look better than the movie stars For most

of the TV series directors, they will always invite the handsome actors and beautiful actresses to shoot the series, since the appearance of the actor can

Trang 36

guarantee the audience rating In this case, I think the TV stars are more popular

I’m fine with people breeding animals for money as long as they don’t hurt the animals in the process I know some people who breed dogs for a living but I know that they love the dogs and truly care for them; they would never want to see the dogs in pain, so I don’t see anything wrong with such a practice

in hope of raising overall animal welfare standards

7 What do you think are some of the benefits to humans from protecting wild animals?

In my opinion, there are two main reasons to protect wild animals One of them has to do with the protection of our ecosystem Everything in the wild has evolved to work together to have a biosphere that sustains life Yet, it is

Trang 40

hard to know exactly what might happen to an ecosystem when even the smallest contributor to that ecosystem vanishes Hence, wild animals, as a part of the ecosystem of the world need to be conserved and protected Plus,
