Bài mẫu:

I consider myself quite a linguaphile, so I do want to get the hang of a myriad of foreign languages. Out of all of them, the one I would prioritize to learn first would definitely be Japanese. 

I currently have a lot on my plate and to be honest, I prefer to go spontaneous and play it by ear, so making a concrete study plan is hard. But I have been giving it some thought, and have made a few bullet points as to what I would do to become fluent in Japanese.

First, while I wholeheartedly believe in the power of self-learning, I’d rather join an elementary Japanese course from a well-reputed center to establish a foundation that I can build off of. This would probably last for about 2 – 3 months, and shall equip me with basic greetings and conversational sentences, as well as the ability to grasp the three writing systems of Japanese, which are Kanji, Hiragana and Katakana.

Then, I would continue to study from textbooks and Japanese media, such as movies, songs or books for better vocabulary and grammar. I know this is when the honeymoon phase of learning tends to wear off, and I would need to sustain my fresh motivation and enthusiasm with Japanese. This is why I think learning naturally from contents that I actually enjoy would be more beneficial for me in the long run.

Why do I want to choose Japanese? The most important reason for me is the challenge that it would bring. Linguistically speaking, Japanese and English, or even Vietnamese, cannot be further apart. This means immense effort and hard work for me, but learning Japanese would also give me an opportunity to understand the depths of one of the biggest culture powerhouses in the world through the language that it uses.

Also, Japanese anime and manga were an integral part of my childhood, so I think learning Japanese could be a way to reminisce about those years.

I have always wanted to be bilingual or even multilingual, so apart from English and Chinese, French is another language I wish to learn.

Honestly speaking, French was never on the top of my list of must-learn languages. At first, I planned on learning Japanese. But then when i recalled my time learning Chinese during high school and the fact that Japanese can actually be even be more difficult, I don’t think I could ever remember all of the letters, let alone make out what they mean. So, I had to resort to French, which I think will somehow be easier as it shares most of the English latin alphabet.

A second language is obligatory in my faculty so I guess I will be learning French at university. Many of my friends recommended me some language centers but I have no problems with studying French at my university. It can be stressful at times as the score will count forwards my GPA, but I will take that as motivation to learn this language seriously.

Learning a language is no doubt a difficult and frustrating task. It took me years to master my English, and I know it will take no less to have a relatively good command of French. But let’s not get ahead of myself I will just have to take baby steps. But I think I’m ready for this challenge.

Từ vựng theo chủ đề

• • Bilingual (adj): có khả năng nói 2 thứ tiếng
  • Multilingual (adj): có khả năng nói nhiều hơn 2 thứ tiếng
  • On the top of my list: lựa chọn đầu tiên
  • Make out: hiểu ý nghĩa cái gì
  • Have a good command of: có kiến thức tốt về cái gì
  • Get ahead of myself: làm điều gì quá sớm
  • Take baby steps: các bước nhỏ

I would like to tell you about a language that I’ve always wanted to learn, which is Chinese. 

As for my plan to learn this language, I think next month I will attend an elementary course on Chinese. However, since I am having a nine-to-five job at the moment, I will need to look for a center which offers night classes for its learners.

Moving on to the next point which is where this language is spoken. Actually, Chinese is spoken not only in China but also in many other countries such as the US or the UK by oversea Chinese. In fact, Chinese is the most widely spoken language in the world (it is estimated that Chinese is spoken by more than 1 billion people all over the world).

Regarding the reasons why I would like to learn Chinese, it is mainly due to the similarity between Chinese and Vietnamese. You know, in the past, Vietnam was under Chinese influence in approximately one thousand years, thus there are numerous Chinese loanwords in Vietnamese language. For that reason, it would be easier for me to learn Chinese than someone whose native language is completely different.

Another reason should be the fact that studying Chinese will help brighten my career paths. You know, today, trade ties between Vietnam and China have become stronger, so employers in Vietnam tend to prioritize applicants who have a good command of Chinese.  

For those reasons, I will manage time effectively to start learning Chinese.

Câu trả lời mẫu IELTS Speaking Part 3: Language

1. What is an example of an international language that people use to communicate (besides English)?

Gợi ý: Chinese: many people speak the language, often used in trades and business, more people are learning to speak Chinese; French, German, Spanish, Russian: also spoken by a lot of people.

Chinese is an example of an international language apart from English. In fact, around one sixth of the world population speaks Chinese as their first language. Even foreigners speak Chinese, mostly in trade and business.

2. Do you think people will speak the same language in the future (maybe English)?

Gợi ý:

• Yes: English will still remain the most popular international language as long as English- speaking countries remain dominant. Chinese can also be an international language owing to the increasingly important role China plays in international trade.
• No: Countries will keep their languages as they carry national values and represent the indigenous cultures.

No, I don’t think people will speak the same language in the future, because a language carries national values and represents the indigenous cultures. In other words, the loss of a language equals the loss of cultural identity. Individualism urges people to have their own identity, wave their own flags and speak their own language. That is why people of different countries won’t be willing to speak the same language.

3. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this trend?

Gợi ý:

• • Advantage: effective communication/facilitate trades and business meetings/ avoid conflicts and wars between nations.
  • Disadvantage: the distinction of a language, the loss of knowledge and cultural identity/increase jobs crisis.

Having an international language can bring both benefits and drawbacks. Despite the fact that people speaking the same language can facilitate trade and business meetings, it can result in the extinction of languages, which will eventually bring about the loss of knowledge and cultural identities.
