Everyone has a childhood toy that they are emotionally attached to, well, I am not an exception. To give you the context, when I was 7, I was in love with a set of kitchen toys. It was a pack of kitchen tools like a kettle, a pan, several plates, and cups; oh, forks and a knife also went with the package. Although I liked it, I didn’t ask my parents for it because I knew our financial condition was not stable. We had to tighten our belts so as not to slump at the end of the month.

Surprisingly, on my birthday, my parents gave me the toy package. I was certainly floating on air at that moment, knowing that I had owned my desired plaything and realizing they had dug deep into their pockets just to meet my wants. 

About the plastic kitchen set, it was in hot pink. Well, hot colors have always attracted me in an instant, so it shouldn’t be strange when my full attention was caught.

After having the kitchen kit, I started to invite friends for my imaginary tea party or dinner. I even make fake pearls and legos as my cooking ingredients to make the food. 

Come to think of it, it was my favorite toy as I usually took it out to play the most mainly because I could call the neighbor kids to come over. I still keep the set until this day, but then I gave it to my niece when she reached 4 since I also want her to sense the joy that I had years ago.

• Emotionally attached to sth: gắn bó về tình cảm
• Tighten one’s belt: thắt lưng buộc bụng
• Slump (v): khủng hoảng (kinh tế)
• Float on air: hạnh phúc
• Dig deep into one’s pocket: chi nhiều tiền
• In an instant (n): ngay lập tức
• Come to think of it: nghĩ lại thì…

I remember that when I was young, I was keen on watching the cartoon called “The many adventures of Winnie the Pooh”, so much that I kept pestering my father for the stuffed bear Winnie the Pooh. Finally, my father gave me one as a present for my 6th birthday. When I got this toy, I jumped for joy and even paid no attention to my other presents.

This stuffed bear was, incredibly, identical to the character in the cartoon I had watched. He also had a short red shirt and was holding a jar of honey which was his favorite food. Therefore, I felt as if he had come from the movie.

Since then, I considered him my closest friend and I couldn‟t go anywhere without him, even when I went to sleep. Every day, I talked with the bear and told him about my daily routine. Unfortunately, I lost the bear at an amusement center, which made me cry for almost a week. At that time, I felt like I had lost a good friend who I could share everything with. At present, whenever I watch this cartoon or see any photos of Winnie the Pooh, all the
wonderful memories about him are brought back. Thanks to the bear, I experienced a happy childhood.

• was keen on: [phrasal verb] was eager to/was enthusiastic about
  Example: He was keen on fishing when he was a boy, and he still loves to go fishing at weekends.
• pestering: [verb] annoying someone by asking them many times.
  Example: In the shop, some children were pestering their mother to buy ice-cream.
• stuffed bear: [noun] a toy in the shape of a bear, made of cloth and filled with soft material.
  Example: Stuffed bears have always been popular as toys for young children.
• identical to: [adjective] exactly the same as someone or something else.
  Example: His sports bag is identical to mine, and as a result one day I took his bag by mistake.
• amusement center: [noun] a center which has a lot of things which you can play on and many different activities to enjoy.
  Example: Our city has a huge shopping mall, and it has a fantastic amusement center for children to play while their parents are shopping.

Câu trả lời mẫu IELTS Speaking Part 3: Toys

1. What toys are popular with boys and girls in your country now?

I think there are two outstanding names that I could immediately think of. For one thing, slimes have been very popular among all the kids. It is a glue-like substance in vibrant colors. The reason why it is so common is that you can either buy at a store or can make it by yourself by mixing borax and warm water. Another toy is the two-dimensional octopus. One side shows happiness and the other expresses fury, of course in an adorable way. I can see that some of the youngsters post stories on social networking sites to tell their emotions.

• Glue-like (adj): giống hồ dính
• Substance (noun): hợp chất
• Vibrant (adj): màu sặc sỡ
• Borax (n): hàn the
• Fury (n): cơn thịnh nộ

2. Do you think advertising that targets children should be banned?

My assumption could be wrong, but commercials targeting at children should be prohibited on all forms of media since it might be the premise of child labor abuse. In several advertisement, small kids will be hired to act in front of a camera trying a new candy or toy. Consequently, some parents will take advantage of this and monetize their child when they have full control of the kids’ schedule and legal rights. To prevent this alarming tendency, the government should step in and enforce laws on this kind of advertising.

• Premise (noun): tiền đề
• Child labour abuse (noun phrase): bóc lột sức lao động của trẻ em
• Monetize (verb): kiếm tiền 
• Enforce (verb): thi hành luật

3. Do you see the fact that children are targeted by many companies as potential consumers spoil their childhood

I completely disagree with this opinion. It is parents’ duty to control what they give their children. Even if companies try to sell off their products to kids, the adults are people who make the last decision whether they should buy the toy. Therefore, we can’t conclude that companies’ marketing strategies will ruin a childhood. Moreover, a toy is a fraction of the early years of a child.

There are other elements making a childhood, like quality time with family and friends or interaction with nature. Once again, I strongly oppose the idea that toy makers are negatively affecting small children.

• Strategy (n): chiến lược
• A fraction of sth: một phần nhỏ của cái gì đó
• Quality time: thời gian chất lượng
• Oppose (v): phản đối
