Mẫu đề IELTS Speaking phần 3
Celebrities ảnh hưởng như thế nào đến hành vi của giới trẻ?
In my opinion, celebrities have a major influence on young people's behavior. Many celebs have a strong social media presence and use platforms like Instagram and TikTok to promote their lifestyle and products. The young may be affected by the pictures and words they see on social media and attempt to emulate the celebrity's lifestyle. They may look up to famous celebrities and want to work in industries such as entertainment, athletics, or fashion. However, young people should be aware that these sectors can be extremely competitive and challenging to enter.
(Theo quan điểm của tôi, các ngôi sao nổi tiếng có tác động lớn đến hành vi của giới trẻ. Nhiều ngôi sao có mặt trên các nền tảng mạng xã hội như Instagram và TikTok để quảng cáo cho phong cách sống và sản phẩm của họ. Giới trẻ có thể bị ảnh hưởng bởi hình ảnh và thông điệp mà họ thấy trên mạng xã hội và cố gắng bắt chước phong cách sống của người nổi tiếng. Họ có thể ngưỡng mộ những người nổi tiếng và muốn làm việc trong các ngành công nghiệp như giải trí, thể thao hoặc thời trang. Tuy nhiên họ nên nhận thức rằng những lĩnh vực này cực kỳ cạnh tranh và thách thức.)
Do you believe that being renowned always carries positive implications? What are your thoughts on this matter?
For me, being famous can have both positive and negative effects on a person's life. On the one hand, it can bring many benefits, such as increased opportunities, financial gain, and public recognition. On the other hand, being famous also comes with some downsides. It can lead to loss of privacy, constant media attention, and scrutiny of personal life. This can make it difficult for famous individuals to maintain a sense of normalcy, and they may become isolated from their friends and family.
(Đối với tôi, việc trở nên nổi tiếng có thể có cả ảnh hưởng tích cực và tiêu cực đến cuộc sống của một người. Một mặt, nó có thể mang lại nhiều lợi ích, chẳng hạn như cơ hội tăng lên, thu nhập tài chính và sự công nhận của công chúng. Tuy nhiên, việc trở nên nổi tiếng cũng đi kèm với một số bất lợi. Nó có thể dẫn đến mất sự riêng tư, sự chú ý liên tục của truyền thông và sự phê phán về cuộc sống cá nhân. Điều này có thể làm cho những người nổi tiếng khó để duy trì cảm giác bình thường, và họ có thể trở nên cô lập khỏi bạn bè và gia đình của họ.)
In your opinion, is the media excessively fixated on prominent figures?
Yes, I totally agree with that idea. Because celebrities often have a significant influence on the community, especially young people, the media often prioritizes publishing information about them to attract viewers. However, sometimes I also feel bothered by seeing too much useless news related to such people.
(Vâng, tôi hoàn toàn đồng ý với ý kiến trên. Bởi vì người nổi tiếng thường có sự ảnh hưởng lớn đến cộng đồng, đặc biệt là với giới trẻ nên các phương tiện truyền thông thường ưu tiên đăng tải những thông tin về họ nhằm mục đích thu hút người xem. Tuy nhiên, đôi khi tôi cũng thấy bị làm phiền khi thấy quá nhiều tin tức vô bổ liên quan đến những người này.)
Từ vựng:
exert a significant impact on someone/something: đều có ảnh hưởng lớn đến ai/điều gì
mimic: sao chép
admire: ngưỡng mộ
financial profit: lợi nhuận tài chính
recognition from the public: sự công nhận từ công chúng
compromise of privacy: vi phạm quyền riêng tư
feeling of ordinary: cảm giác thông thường
give priority to: ưu tiên
pointless information : thông tin vô ích.
