Mytour Education · Mytour | IELTS Speaking Sample – Describe A Language You Want To Learn
I have always wanted to be bilingual or even multilingual, so apart from English and Chinese, French is another language I wish to learn.
Honestly speaking, French was never on the top of my list of must-learn languages. At first, I planned on learning Japanese. But then when i recalled my time learning Chinese during high school and the fact that Japanese can actually be even be more difficult, I don’t think I could ever remember all of the letters, let alone make out what they mean. So, I had to resort to French, which I think will somehow be easier as it shares most of the English latin alphabet.
A second language is obligatory in my faculty so I guess I will be learning French at university. Many of my friends recommended me some language centers but I have no problems with studying French at my university. It can be stressful at times as the score will count forwards my GPA, but I will take that as motivation to learn this language seriously.
Learning a language is no doubt a difficult and frustrating task. It took me years to master my English, and I know it will take no less to have a relatively good command of French. But let’s not get ahead of myself I will just have to take baby steps. But I think I’m ready for this challenge.

Phần 3 của IELTS Speaking
Gợi ý: Chinese: many people speak the language, often used in trades and business, more people are learning to speak Chinese; French, German, Spanish, Russian: also spoken by a lot of people.
Chinese is an example of an international language apart from English. In fact, around one sixth of the world population speaks Chinese as their first language. Even foreigners speak Chinese, mostly in trade and business.
2. Do you think people will speak the same language in the future (maybe English)?
Gợi ý:
Yes: English will still remain the most popular international language as long as English- speaking countries remain dominant. Chinese can also be an international language owing to the increasingly important role China plays in international trade.
No: Countries will keep their languages as they carry national values and represent the indigenous cultures.
No, I don’t think people will speak the same language in the future, because a language carries national values and represents the indigenous cultures. In other words, the loss of a language equals the loss of cultural identity. Individualism urges people to have their own identity, wave their own flags and speak their own language. That is why people of different countries won’t be willing to speak the same language.
3. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this trend?
Gợi ý:
Lợi ích: giao tiếp hiệu quả/thúc đẩy giao thương và cuộc họp kinh doanh/tránh xung đột và chiến tranh giữa các quốc gia.
Bất lợi: sự phân biệt của một ngôn ngữ, mất tri thức và bản sắc văn hóa/tăng nguy cơ khủng hoảng việc làm.
Sở hữu một ngôn ngữ quốc tế có thể mang lại cả lợi ích và bất lợi. Mặc dù việc người nói cùng một ngôn ngữ có thể tạo điều kiện thuận lợi cho giao thương và cuộc họp kinh doanh, nhưng nó cũng có thể dẫn đến sự tuyệt chủng của các ngôn ngữ, từ đó dẫn đến mất tri thức và bản sắc văn hóa.
