Câu trả lời mẫu IELTS Speaking Part 1 chủ đề: Festivals

1. How do you celebrate festivals in your country?

Woah, isn’t this tricky? Let’s see… Each festival is quite one of a kind, but I always make a point of having outings or small dates with my extended family and close-knit friends. We’d enjoy festival food and do some common rituals that vary for each festival. So, take Mid-autumn festival as an example, every year I would go to the Old Quarter to see the different toys specifically made for this holiday. 

• one of a kind (a): độc nhất vô nhị
• outing (n): họp mặt, gặp mặt
• extended family (n): đại gia đình
• close-knit friend (n): bạn thân
• ritual (n): nghi thức

2. What special food and activities do you have for these festivals?

• To say Vietnam has many festivals is a big understatement, so it’s no surprise that the cuisine and activities meant for these events are also really diverse. Hmm, off the top of my head, Tet holiday involves family gatherings, firework displays and foods such as bánh chưng or giò chả. On the other hand, Wandering Soul’s day shows appreciation towards departed loved ones by means of chilled dishes and burning paper money and clothes.   
• understatement (n): nói giảm nhẹ, nói bớt đi
• off the top of my head (phr): bật ra từ trong đầu
• family gathering (n): họp mặt gia đình
• Wandering Soul’s day (n): Lễ Vu Lan
• show appreciation towards (a): thể hiện sự quý trọng
• departed loved ones (n): người thân đã khuất
• chilled dishes (n): hàn thực (như bánh trôi, bánh chay)

3. How do you celebrate spring Festivals?

• Ahh, Tet holiday or Lunar New Year is considered one of the most important festivals in spring. Whenever Tet comes, I would watch fireworks and make a toast with my family, when I am of age of course. My parents, like most Vietnamese people, would take me to pagodas and temples, and I also take this opportunity to visit relatives who I hardly get to meet throughout the year. 
• make a toast with (phr): nâng ly
• of age (phr): đủ tuổi (thường là 18 hoặc 20)
• take this opportunity to do sth (phr): tận dụng cơ hội làm gì

4. What’s your favorite festival of the year?

I don’t much care about any festival in specific. I treasure every chance that I can get some time for family reunions and dates with friends. If I have to choose, I’d probably go with Lunar new year, simply because it is the longest vacation out of all public holidays and many of my favorite dishes are abundant during this time of the year. 

• in specific (phr): cụ thể
• treasure (v): trân quý
• family reunion (n): đoàn tụ gia đình
• go with (v): lựa chọn
• abundant (a): rất nhiều

Dưới đây là bài mẫu IELTS Speaking Part 2 của đề bài Talk about festival in Vietnam về Tết Nguyên Đán:

My favorite holiday is Tet – one of the most important national celebrations in Vietnamese culture. We celebrate Tet annually in January or February in the Gregorian calendar and it is considered the biggest occasion for family and friends’ reunions. 

While Lunar New Year can be regarded as quite a cliché event to describe, I think there are still many intriguing facets of it to mention. As Tet is the biggest celebration in Vietnam, schools and shops are often closed and workers would get around 2 weeks of holiday. Vietnamese people usually return to their families during Tết.

Some worship at the family altar or visit their ancestors’ graves in their homeland. What I love the most about Tet is Tet food. We get to cook and make very special dishes like banh chung, banh giay or nem ran. Thanks to the exquisite taste of these dishes, after Lunar New Year, I often gain a lot of weight. Other customs and traditions that my family usually practice during Tết are quite exhilarating too.

We often exchange New Year’s greetings, decorate the house with apricot flowers or peach blossoms, give lucky money to children and elderly people, or simply hang out on the streets to immerse myself in the distinctive atmosphere of Tet. 

Tet is my favorite festival because it is one of the rare occasions where I get to reunite with my relatives and visit my grandparents. As we often return to our homeland during Tet holiday, it is a breath of fresh air from the hustle and bustle of city life. 

Tet is a break from work and an opportunity for us to forget our worries and troubles of last year, bask in the warmth from friends and family’s company and enjoy the cheery, festive spirit. Thus, Tet teaches me to appreciate the people around me, as well as the traditional festivals that are indispensable.

• Gregorian calendar (n): lịch Dương
• cliché (a): rập khuôn
• intriguing (a): thú vị
• facet (n): khía cạnh
• family altar (n): bàn thờ gia đình
• ancestor (n): tổ tiên
• exquisite (a): rất ngon, tuyệt hảo
• exhilarating (a): phấn khích
• immerse myself in (phr): đắm chìm trong
• distinctive (a): đặc biệt, riêng có
• hustle and bustle (phr): sự xô bồ
• bask in (v): hưởng thụ
• company (n): sự bầu bạn
• indispensable (a): không thể thiếu

Câu trả lời mẫu IELTS Speaking Part 3 chủ đề: Festivals

1. How do people in Vietnam value traditional festivals?

Oh, absolutely. In fact, I think we do take the word ‘value’ to a whole new level. Our country has over 8000 festivals every year, some of which are held at the national level, and some are only local celebrations.

No matter the scale, though, most Vietnamese go to great lengths to ensure that the traditional customs are celebrated after meticulous planning and preparation. The elders also make a lot of efforts in passing down the meanings and ceremonies involved in these festivals to the young generation. 

2. What’s the difference between the ways festivals are celebrated now and in the past? 

Ah, the differences are definitely profound. I couldn’t speak for everyone, but in Vietnam, festivals used to be quite formal and it is critical for everyone in the community to go through a multitude of steps and celebratory ceremonies. With the development of the society comes drastic changes in the way people treat festivals.

A lot of the rituals are no longer obligatory and many people opt for traveling as a way to celebrate festivals. I respect these changes, though I still sometimes miss the sheer joy that traditional ceremonies bring, despite how busy I used to be during the festivals.

3. Do you think it is wrong for young people to not celebrate traditional festivals?

My stance would be determined by which traditional festivals these youngsters decide to not celebrate, actually. So as I have mentioned, in Vietnam, there are approximately 8000 festivals annually, and I don’t think anyone should celebrate all those 8000 events, let alone young people who tend to be, quite literally, snowed under with work.

However, there are celebrations whose importance is quite highlighted, such as Tet holiday, or Christmas. I believe these festivals celebrate cultural heritage and traditions, and that they are an integral part in the structure of our society. Without them, young people might lose the chance to form a deeper connection with their family, community and even their backgrounds. Hence, it is in their best interest to not miss these traditional festivals.
