Đề mẫu IELTS Speaking phần 1 Chủ đề Viết lách
1. Do you write frequently?
Answer 1: Yes, kind of. As a student, I take notes in class, and after that, I have lots of written assignments to complete. Then, while taking the test, I use my gel pen for hours to complete the answer sheet. I suppose that’s why I frequently visit the stationery store.
- Kind of: Kiểu như vậy
- Assignment: Bài tập
- Suppose: Cho rằng
- Stationery: Văn phòng phẩm
Answer 2: Yeah, I like to write. I have a tendency to jot down everything that is significant because my memory is like a sieve. The best method is to write it down on my notepad.
- Tendency: Xu hướng
- Jot down: Ghi chú
- Like a sieve: Tính hay quên
Answer 3: Yes of course. This is an integral part of my job as a teacher. However, these days I mostly type on my computer or write messages on my cell phone, and rarely use paper or pens. You should only take notes where laptops are not allowed. I think it really hurts.
- Integral: Không thể thiếu
- Rarely: Hiếm khi
- Allow: Cho phép
2. What subjects do you enjoy writing about? Why?
Answer 1: I was never a good writer, but because my major involved a lot of research, I became interested in writing research papers. I enjoy reading past research, formulating research questions, conducting experiments, and putting it all together in my essay. While it can be difficult, especially with my propensity for procrastination, I am very content to spend days and weeks on an article and get everything in place.
- Major: Chuyên ngành
- Formulate: Xây dựng
- Conduct Experiment: tiến hành thí nghiệm
- Propensity for procrastination: Xu hướng trì hoãn
- Be content to: Hài lòng
Answer 2: Well, normally I’d love to write something academic because it’s part of my job for a living. I am an IELTS teacher and I coach my students to write academic essays. These are often difficult and strenuous articles because you need a lot of knowledge, skills, and strategies to write academically. I mean you need to know a lot of collocations, how to explain ideas logically and avoid using slang and overly formal phrases.
- Normally: Thông thường
- Academic: Học thuật
- Coach: Hướng dẫn
- Strenuous: Vất vả
- Strategy: Chiến lược
- Collocation: Cụm từ
- Logically: Theo hướng logic
- Slang: Từ lóng
- Overly: Quá mức
3. Do you believe your written work could evolve?
Answer 1: Not really. I hope to one day be a researcher in my field, so I guess what I write won’t change anytime soon. However, I hope that the quality of my work will improve, because my career will depend on it.
- Field: Lĩnh vực
- Researcher: Nhà nghiên cứu
- Career: Sự nghiệp
- Depend on: Phụ thuộc vào
Answer 2: Yes, I think so. Mainly because I’m an artist and also an avid reader. I’m a huge fan of romance novels and I thought I’d try writing novels. This seems appealing to me as I like to let my creativity run wild when it comes to writing and developing interesting storylines.
- Mainly: Chủ yếu
- Avid reader: Người ham đọc sách
- Be fan of: Là người thích
- Appealing: Hấp dẫn
4. When writing, do you prefer typing or handwriting?
Answer 1: When I was younger, I preferred handwriting to typing because I wanted each essay to have a personal touch. This perspective changed quite quickly when I started college. Each assignment should be submitted in electronic form and it will be more convenient to enter it on a computer. In addition, using a computer makes it easier for me to cite articles and references.
- Handwriting: Viết tay
- Typing: Đánh máy
- Touch: Dấu ấn, liên lạc
- Perspective: Quan điểm
- Submit: Nộp bài
- Cite: Trích dẫn
- Reference: Tài liệu tham khảo
Answer 2: Well, you know, nowadays modern technologies have largely eliminated handwriting and you don’t see people handwriting as much as in the past. However, I still think that some things need to be handwritten. For example, you should handwrite wedding invitations to show respect to your guests.
- Eliminate: Loại bỏ
- Be handwritten: Được viết bằng tay
- Invitation: Thiệp mời
- Respect: Tôn trọng
- Guest: Khách
5. Did you enjoy writing as a child?
Answer 1: Oh, I really like that. Writing something calms and relaxes me, so I try to write whenever I have free time. The moment the pencil touched the paper, the words literally flew out and I flew to my dreamland. It was a great experience.
- Calm: Làm bình tĩnh
- Relax: Làm vui vẻ
- Literally: Theo đúng nghĩa đen
- Flew out: Bay ra
Answer 2: Absolutely, I loved writing with a pen in my childhood. My parents often scolded me for writing in my diary and other important office documents when I took the pen. And of course I used to cry a lot to get a pen from there so I could draw or write on paper or on the wall with it.
- Absolutely: Chắc chắn
- Scold: Trách mắng
- Diary: Nhật ký
- Document: Tài liệu
6. Can computers someday replace handwriting?
Answer 1: Sure, I believe that. While the number of people writing with pens is decreasing, the use of electronic devices such as computers and smartphones is increasing. As a result, all note prints obtained from these devices look the same and will therefore replace handwriting in the near future.
- Decrease: Giảm đi
- Electronic device: Thiết bị điện
- Increase: Tăng lên
- Obtain: Đạt được
- Replace: Thay thế
- In fact: Thực tế là
- Be used to: Quen với
