1. Do you often get up early in the morning?

I do. I am an early bird so I often wake up around 5 to 6 A.M every morning. Getting up early allows me to run errands before leaving for work. 

• Early bird (n): người hay dậy sớm
• Eun errands (v): làm việc lặt vặt

2. What do you usually do when you get up early?

My bedroom has a balcony that looks out over the garden so the first thing I do when I wake up is to take a moment and breathe in the fresh air. After my personal hygiene routine, I go to the supermarket to buy some food and do some cooking for breakfast. Having a cup of joe before going to work has also become my morning ritual.

• Cup of joe (n): ly cà phê

This cue card reminds me of the time I got up at dawn to prepare for a job interview. 

I received a call from the Human Resource Department who asked me to join an interview at 8 A.M and give a full 15-minute speech about a topic. I was thrilled to bits accepting the offer since I’ve always wanted to secure myself a slot in that company. I decided to get up at 5 A.M in order to be well-prepared for the appointment.

As per plan, I first finished my morning skincare routine and when I got out of the bathroom, my mom had already made me a hearty breakfast. I then had a cup of joe, which could never go wrong, as caffeine kept me energetic all day long and extended my attention span. Thereafter, I started to skim through all the notes I took the previous night, you know, just to ensure that I wouldn’t miss any points during my presentation. I made a rehearsal of the speech in front of the mirror to see if I was making good use of my body language. Finally, I got suited up, did some makeup and wore my favorite perfume as I believe appearance is the best indication of one’s personality, reflecting a number of important character traits.

I arrived at the place 15 minutes in advance, which I believed was appropriate. While giving the presentation, I tried to express my verbal and non-verbal language in a way that I’m most comfortable with, in hope that my speech would make them sit up and take notice. Everything turned out just fine, and I got in! 

I can say that getting up early that morning did wonders to my performance at the time, since I had more time to settle in, resulting in a stress-free experience. It is also a good habit to take up, as you can finish more tasks in a day. 

Từ vựng

• Get up at dawn: dậy lúc bình minh
• Be thrilled to bits: vui tột độ 
• Secure a slot: giữ được một chân (trong danh sách, tổ chức)
• Be well-prepared (adj): chuẩn bị kỹ lưỡng
• As per plan: theo kế hoạch
• Hearty (adj): (bữa ăn) thịnh soạn
• Cup of joe (n): ly cà phê
• Get suited up: mặc đồ trang trọng
• Character traits (n): đặc điểm tính cách
• In advance: trước (thời gian quy định)

Dàn bài

Ý tưởng bài mẫu (tiếng Việt)

• • Đối với bài Describe a time when you got up early – kể về một lần bạn thức dậy sớm – thì ở mở bài các bạn nên nói qua về thời gian, tức là lần dậy sớm này của các bạn diễn ra khi nào; và mục đích/ nguyên nhân – tại sao bạn lại thức dậy sớm như thế.
  • Đến phần chính của bài nói Describe a time when you got up early các bạn cần nói xem việc dậy sớm có dễ dàng với các bạn hay không – liệu bạn có thể bật dậy ngay khi nghe chuông báo thức hay là phải nằm ngủ nướng? Tiếp đó các bạn hãy kể những hoạt động mà các bạn làm sau khi ngủ dậy – thường thường thì chúng mình chỉ dậy sớm khi có việc gì đó quan trọng hoặc đặc biệt nên các bạn cố gắng nói càng chi tiết về các hoạt động này thì càng tốt nhé.
  • Cuối cùng, bạn hãy chia sẻ cảm nghĩ của mình về lần dậy sớm này trong bài nói Describe a time when you got up early. Đây có thể là một trải nghiệm không mấy vui vẻ vì việc dậy sớm khiến bạn rơi vào trạng thái mệt mỏi và buồn ngủ sau đó. Tuy nhiên, với bạn, nó có thể là một trải nghiệm thú vị vì đây là lần hiếm hoi nhìn thấy khung cảnh của thành phố lúc sáng sớm thật yên tĩnh.

Bài mẫu 

About three months ago, when it was still autumn, my roommate and I decided to wake up at dawn to take a trip around Hanoi since we both had a day off.

My friend is a morning person, so waking up early was a piece of cake for her, while I’m a heavy sleeper, so I found it was a hard sell. My alarm rang at three a.m., and I could only get out of bed after sleeping in for 15 minutes.

After nearly one hour of putting on some makeup and getting dressed, we hit the road at four a.m. to the first destination – a flower market. We got on our motorbike, so we could feel the freshness, especially the chilly cold, which was very gentle in the autumn. After reaching the market, we went around to see and feel the scent of various flowers. We also bought a bunch of daisies and took some photo shoots. 

After that, I recommended having hot congee for breakfast, and being on a full stomach made us feel better. Although we felt a bit tired, we found it was too early to go home, so we headed to a café to have a morning coffee. Interestingly, the coffee shop has some small bookshelves; and reading a book while having a coffee helped me to let my hair down. But at noon, my friend and I both fell asleep because we didn’t get enough sleep the night before, so we made a choice to go home and take a nap to recharge our energy.

Anyway, this was an exciting experience because waking up at the crack of dawn gave me a unique chance to see a different Ha Noi – it was silent during the wee hours, and there was no hustle and bustle as it was during peak hours. 

Từ vựng

• Wake up at dawn (phrase): dậy sớm
• Morning person (noun): người dậy sớm
• A piece of cake (idiom):  việc dễ dàng
• Heavy sleeper: người ngủ sâu giấc
• (A) hard sell (noun): việc khó làm
• Sleep in (phrasal verb): ngủ nướng
• Hit the road (idiom): khởi hành/ lên đường
• Chilly cold (noun): cái lạnh se se
• On a full stomach (idiom): no nê/ no bụng
• Let one’s hair down (idiom): cho phép bản thân thư giãn  
• At the crack of dawn (idiom): sáng sớm
• Wee hours (noun): những giờ sáng sớm (từ 12 giờ đêm đến khi mặt trời mọc)
• Peak hours (noun): giờ cao điểm
• The hustle and bustle (noun. idiom): náo nhiệt, nhộn nhịp  

Câu trả lời mẫu IELTS Speaking Part 3: Get up early

1. Why do some people get up early? Why do some people hate getting up early?

Well, I guess people differ in their routines. Nowadays people have to work around the clock and some actually have to stay up late at night or even pull all-nighters to meet deadlines. This results in the feeling of lethargy the next morning, explaining why they have to struggle to wake up. Others, however, are full of beans when the sun is out and perform way better in the morning. All in all, I guess it is just a matter of habits. 

• Work around the clock: làm suốt ngày đêm
• Pull a all-nighter: thức trắng đêm
• Lethargy (n): cảm giác uể oải
• Be full of beans: tràn đầy năng lượng

2. Why do some people like to stay up late?

From my point of view, a lot of people today, especially the young, are drawn towards exciting activities that happen at night, like parties and concerts. When all of the daytime work is done, this is the time when they can hang out and enjoy themselves, you know, because we only live once and we wouldn’t want to miss every single moment of joy and happiness. Others are simply night owls. Some tell me that they often feel sluggish during the day and can only get down to work in the middle of the night. This explains why these people possess a different time zone from most of us. 

• Night owl (n): cú đêm (chỉ người thức khuya)
• Sluggish (adj): uể oải, mệt mỏi
• Get down to work: bắt tay vào việc

3. What kinds of occasions need people to arrive early?

As we all know, punctuality displays a person’s respect for people and their time, so under no circumstances should anyone show up late. To formal ceremonies such as a wedding or a funeral, which require a large amount of organization and planning, it is even more important for everybody to arrive earlier than expected. The late-comers usually give an impression that they do not value the others’ time or consider their time more important than that of others. People who are going on a trip may also have to arrive at the airport or train station prior to their departure time. This allows them to have more time for the check-in process, creating a stress-free travel experience. 

• Punctuality (n): sự đúng giờ
• Late-comer (n): người đi trễ 
• Stress-free (adj): không căng thẳng
