Questions and Sample Answers

Topic 1: Work/ Study

Question 1: Are you a student or do you work?

Answer: I’m a student at Foreign Trade University, which is located on Chua Lang street. My school is about 5 kilometers away from where I live.

Question 2: Do you enjoy what you study?

Answer: Not really. I don’t think what I’m learning is practical and there is always a lot of homework and deadlines. But my friends at school are really nice. They are the main reason that I go to class.

Chủ đề đầu tiên trong bài thi nói IELTS thường được lựa chọn từ những chủ đề Work/Study, Accommodation và Hometown.

Ví dụ:

Accommodation:

1. Do you live in a house or an apartment?
2. What do you like the most about your house or apartment?

Hometown:

1. Can you describe your hometown?
2. What would you like to change about your hometown?

Topic 2: Accommodation

Question 1: Are you living in a house or a flat?

Answer: Currently I’m renting a flat on Phao Dai Lang Street. It’s not so far from my workplace, only about 2 kilometers.

Question 2: How long have you been living there?

Answer: Less than a year. Before I moved to this flat, I was living with my parents but it’s too far from my workplace and the traffic there was always terrible. It took me a long time to find this place but I’m pretty happy with it now.

Question 3: If you could change something about your neighborhood, what would it be?

Answer: Hmm… That’s an interesting question. Actually I’ve never thought of this before.

My neighborhood is pretty good I think. It’s quite civilized, and the location is convenient for me to travel to work. I don’t think I would change anything.

Từ vựng

Civilized: văn minh.

Các chủ đề tương tự: Concerts, Festivals, Street markets.

Một câu hỏi đặc trưng thường được hỏi trong 3 chủ đề này là về Future plans.

Dưới đây là một vài ví dụ:

1. What do you want to do in the next 5 years/after you graduate? (Work/Study)
2. Do you want to live here for a long time/in the near future? (Accommodation and Hometown)  

Topic 3: Holiday

Question 1: Are there a lot of holidays in Vietnam?

Answer: Let me see…quite a lot. I mean, there’re holidays almost every month, and sometimes these holidays are to celebrate the most ridiculous things. But I’m fine with that, you know, I have more days off from work!

Question 2: What do Vietnamese people like to do during their holidays?

Answer: I think most Vietnamese people want to stay at home to relax and recover from their busy schedules at work and school. I also notice that some families in the city often go on a picnic during these days.

Từ vựng

Ridiculous: nực cười, vô lý

Mở rộng

Các chủ đề tương tự: Music, Sleep, Cinema.

Đặc điểm chung về các chủ đề này đó là nhiều người thường nghe nhạc/ ngủ/đi xem phim/tham gia các kỳ nghỉ lễ để xả hơi. Ý tưởng này có thể được sử dụng để trả lời nhiều câu hỏi khác nhau.

Ví dụ:

Do you like listening to music?

→ Absolutely. Listening to music is one of my favorite activities to destress. I often listen to jazz or pop music after a long day at work.

How often do you sleep every day?

→ About 8-10 hours. Sleeping is an excellent way to relieve stress. I always feel refreshed and full of energy after a long, deep sleep. 

Topic 4: Patience

Question 1: Are you a patient person?

Answer: Yes I am. But I used to be a very hot-tempered kid who always got annoyed if someone kept me waiting even for 10 minutes.

Question 2: Have you ever lost your patience?

Answer: I sometimes lose my patience when I’m stuck in traffic for hours after a hard day’s work or I’m constantly interrupted by my family members while working in my room.

Question 3: When do you need patience the most?

Answer: Well, being impatient can cause undesirable results, for example, when studying English, you need to build up your knowledge day by day, but sometimes you have to take some rest. So, I think I need to be patient when learning a new language.  

Topic 5: Color

Question 1: What is your favourite colour?

Answer: When I was growing up, I guess blue was my favourite colour. I don’t know why, but I always really liked things that were dark blue. These days though, I tend to have a preference for green things. So I suppose green and blue are the colours that I like most.

Question 2: Did you like that colour when you were small?

Answer: As I mentioned, I always liked dark blue when I was young, but green is something that I started to like just a couple of years ago.

Question 3: Is the colour of your car or motorbike important? Why?

Answer: Yes, and no. I mean, I don’t really care what colour it is; however, I wouldn’t really like to have a pink motorbike. Pink is a little bit too feminine for me. These days I have a black motorbike, which I think is a good colour for it.  

Từ vựng

Feminine: nữ tính  

Mở rộng

Các chủ đề tương tự: Clothes, Shoes, Sunglasses.

Một câu hỏi đặc trưng của những chủ đề này đó là: “What type of clothes/shoes/sunglasses do you often buy?” Các ý tưởng về chủ đề Colors trong những câu trả lời mẫu ở trên có thể được dùng để trả lời dạng câu hỏi này.

Ví dụ:

What kind of clothes do you often buy?

→ I like buying clothes that are comfortable, not necessarily fashionable. More importantly, I always choose dark-colored clothes, like blue.  

Topic 6: Morning routine

Question 1: What do you do in the morning?

Answer: So normally I like to wake up around 7am, have a light breakfast, and do some household chores, like wash the dishes or sweep the floor, or something like that. Then I usually do some exercise for an hour or two and have a second breakfast at about 9.30. After that, I have some spare time to do other things, like my hobbies, or some other things that I need to get done.

Question 2: Have you ever changed your routine?

Answer: Of course. I mean, my routine depends on my work. These days I work as an English teacher which requires me to work in the afternoon and evening, so I have plenty of free time in the morning. But in the past I used to have a nine-to-five job, so my routine was completely different then.  

Question 3: Do you often have breakfast?

Answer: Yeah, every day. My brain can’t function properly without a good breakfast. In fact, as I mentioned before, I usually have two breakfasts, a light breakfast when I wake up, and then a bigger breakfast around 9 or 10 am. I don’t know how people live without breakfast.  

Từ vựng

1. A light breakfast: bữa sáng nhẹ
2. Household chores (wash the dishes, sweep the floor): việc nhà
3. Nine-to-five job: công việc truyền thống (làm từ sáng đến chiều)  

Topic 7: Festivals

Question 1: What is your favorite festival?

Answer: I have to say, Mid-Autumn Festival would be my favourite festival. Like the name suggests, this festival takes place in the middle of Autumn, which is August 15th according to the Lunar Calendar. I love all the special treats during this holiday, especially moon cakes.

Question 2: What is the most popular Vietnamese festival?

Answer: Well, the most popular Festival in Vietnam is the Lunar New Year Festival. It’s the time for family reunions as people who work far away from home can get to spend some valuable time with their loved ones after a long year of being separated.

Question 3: Do you like western festivals?

Answer: Honestly, I only know a little about western festivals, but I guess the one I find most interesting would be Halloween. You know, it’s just a lot of fun to see people dressing up in many different creative costumes. If I had a chance, I would definitely want to celebrate it in other countries to see what it’s like.  

Từ vựng

1. Takes place: diễn ra
2. Family reunion: buổi sum họp gia đình
3. Valuable time: khoảng thời gian quý giá
4. Dressing up: hóa trang  

Mở rộng

Các chủ đề tương tự: Concerts.

Concerts, Crowded places và Festivals thường được những người hướng ngoại ưa thích; tuy vậy, người hướng nội lại không thích những nơi này. Chính vì vậy, một cách dễ dàng để mở rộng câu trả lời là đề cập đến việc mình là người hướng nội hay hướng ngoại.

1. Yes: I am an extrovert who enjoys the exciting ambiance a crowd brings.
2. No: I am an introvert who hates social interactions.

Đưa ra ví dụ cá nhân để làm câu trả lời thêm phần thuyết phục. (Tham khảo: Phát triển câu trả lời IELTS Speaking bằng phương pháp cá nhân hóa)

Do you like going to concerts?

Topic 8: Neighborhood

Question 1: Tell me about the place you are living in.

Answer: Well currently I live in an apartment in downtown Hanoi. It’s quite a bustling area with a lot of shops, offices and quite a big park just around the corner from my house. You can also find people from all walks of life around the area.

Question 2: Do you know a lot of people there?

Answer: No, not really. I know just a couple of people who live in my building, but otherwise I don’t really know anyone.

Question 3: Do you like your neighbours?

Answer: Sure. I mean we don’t meet each other very often or anything but they all seem to be nice, friendly people.  

Từ vựng

1. Bustling: bận rộn
2. People from all walks of life: người đến từ nhiều nền văn hóa khác nhau với phong cách sống khác nhau  

Mở rộng

Hai cấu trúc có thể dùng cho ý tưởng này:

1. I have a lot on my plate.
2. I have a tight schedule.

Ví dụ:

When was the last time you were alone?

→ I honestly can’t remember. I have a tight schedule, so if I’m not at school, I’ll be at work so there are always people around, my students or colleagues.

How often do you meet your friends?

→ Once or twice a week, I’d like to see them more often, but I have a lot on my plate right now.

Topic 9: Water

Question 1: How often do you drink water?

Answer: I drink a lot of water every day. Probably I drink between 2-3 litres a day, depending on how hot it is, or how much exercise I have done.

Question 2: Do you often drink bottled water or tap water?

Answer: Well, unfortunately tap water is full of chemicals that are harmful to your health, so I never drink it. I only drink filtered water that comes in big plastic containers.  

Từ vựng

Harmful to your health: có hại cho sức khỏe  

Topic 10: Gardens/Parks

Question 1: Do you have a garden where you live?

Answer: Well, I’m currently living in an apartment in a condo near the heart of Hanoi, so as you can imagine, there is no space for a garden in there. However, I do have a lovely garden in my parents’ house where I grow all kinds of flowers and plants.

Question 2: Is there a park near your house?

Answer: Fortunately yes, my house is located near a large park with a wide variety of flowers and big trees, so it is an ideal place for me to stroll around and blow off some steam every weekend.

Question 3: Would you like to change anything about the park?

Answer: The park itself is really nice, but it would be better if there were more lights around the park to make it slightly brighter. To be honest, I find it a bit scary when jogging there at night, so I only go there during the day.  

Từ vựng

1. Condo/ Condominium: chung cư cao cấp
2. Stroll around: đi dạo
3. Blow off some steam: giải khuây/ xả hơi
