Describe a place popular for sports | Bài mẫu IELTS Speaking Part 2 + 3

Bài mẫu tham khảo:

Today, I will tell you about a place that is very popular, famous even, for sports, and very near my home. It is the national football stadium of Vietnam located in the My Dinh neighborhood of Hanoi.

It is so famous because it is where the national football team plays, and watching them play on TV is a very important event here. Once when I was in middle school, I was a part of the school football team and one year we had actually done well enough in competitions around the city that we got to participate in a youth competition that was held at the stadium. This was about three years ago. We only got to play one game because we lost the first one, but just getting to run on that field that I had seem on TV so many hundreds of times felt like an honour.

I will likely remember that game for the rest of my life, and am not even sad that we lost, just happy to have had the opportunity to participate.

Do young people like to do sports?

Of course they do, I think that young people tend to have so much energy that sports are a very logical outlet for that energy. Also, team sports give children and teenagers a structured way to compete with their peers, which I think many people crave. I, and essentially everyone I know, played sports when they were young and I am pretty confident that it was beneficial for our development.

• Outlet /ˈaʊtlet/(n): Chỗ thoát

Ví dụ: Sport became the perfect outlet for his aggression.

• Beneficial /ˌbenɪˈfɪʃl/(a): Có lợi

Ví dụ: A good diet is beneficial to health.

What are the benefits of playing sports as children?

There are a few, but I think that the most important benefits to sports for children is the structure of most sports, and learning to play by the rules. It is also very important for the development of learning how to work on a team. Finally, getting to partake in competition in a constructive way is a good way for young people to learn that not all competition has to come at a cost to someone else, it can be mutually constructive.

• Partake /pɑːˈteɪk/(v): Tham gia

Ví dụ: They preferred not to partake in the social life of the town.

• Constructive /kənˈstrʌktɪv/(a): Mang tính xây dựng

Ví dụ: You should always welcome constructive criticism of your work.

Is it necessary to build public sports places?

I don’t think that it is technically necessary, but I do think that it brings a lot of advantages to a community. All of the benefits of sports that we have spoken about so far, if there is no where in a neighborhood to partake in the sports, all of those benefits are lost. Therefore, I think that it is in the best interest of all communities to ensure that facilities are available for their citizenry to use.

• Citizenry /ˈsɪtɪzənri/ (n): Công dân

Ví dụ: An angry citizenry organized resistance to the harsh new laws.

What do you think of companies donating to sports venues for poor children?

I think that for the most part it is a positive thing, similar to paying taxes. They have earned their money in our communities and it is therefore only right that they pay back into our communities. As long as they do it in a fashion that is constructive, for instance not only as a way to indoctrinate children in to believing their company is more important or more ethically upright than it really is. But generally, it is a good thing and should be encouraged.

• Indoctrinate /ɪnˈdɒktrɪneɪt/ (a): truyền dạy giáo lí

Ví dụ: They had been indoctrinated from an early age with their parents' beliefs.

• Ethically upright /ˈɛθɪkəli ˈʌpraɪt/: Ngay thẳng về mặt đạo đức

Ví dụ: What makes a person ethically upright?
