 IELTS Speaking example 

The time that I put on my best clothes was on my brother's wedding 2 years ago, if I'm not mistaken. I am not a fashion icon or someone who is on trend and I wear casual clothes most of the time. On that special day, I wore a long red form-fitting dress, which was chosen by my best friend. I had her pick the dress for me because she has a sense of style and always keeps up with the latest fashion trend. The dress suited me perfectly. It helped me show my hourglass body. The dress looked simple with only one color and there was a flower on the chest for additional decoration. It helped me look formal enough for an important event but still elegant. I also wore red heels which matched the dress’s color perfectly. When I attended the wedding, everyone told me that I looked so different and beautiful at the same time. I was so happy and felt thankful to my friend for choosing for me such a nice dress. Without her, I might wear something old fashioned or too casual. Recently, I wore the dress again on my 27th birthday and it still looked fashionable although three years has passed. I believe this is one of the timeless items that every woman needs in her closet.

 Sample IELTS Speaking Part 3

Gợi ý: Real estate salesperson (Bất động sản), gain trust (lấy lòng tin)

I think it depends on the occupation. For those working in the government, the real estate, or in some financial institutions, they have to dress formally because they need to gain trust from others, and no one is gonna trust a person wearing shorts or tank top with their own money. However, people like artists or designers don't have to dress formally all the time; some others like a real estate agent or lawyer don't work for any particular company and they don't need to persuade people.

Câu hỏi: Why do some people like to wear traditional clothes?

There are two main reasons why people wear traditional clothes, I suppose. The first reason is they want to preserve the tradition from fading years after years. Besides, some people wear those clothes just simply because they like it. For example, my mother wears aodai, which is the traditional dress of Vietnamese women, to every wedding, because she thinks it suits her and she doesn’t need to spend much time picking different items.

Question: Will traditional attire vanish in the forthcoming era? Do elderly individuals alter their dressing preferences?

Hint: long-sleeve (dài tay), loose-fitting (rộng, không ôm sát cơ thể), crafted from silk (làm từ vải lụa)

I opine that the response is negative, particularly in Vietnam. Ao dai, worn by high schoolers every Monday, remains a perennial choice, enhancing a woman's allure and sophistication. In Vietnam, seniors tend to uphold their attire, often donning a combination of long black trousers and a loose-fitting, long-sleeve T-shirt tailored from silk.
