Sample IELTS Speaking Part 2

Recall an instance when you sought information from the Internet.

• A time it occurred
• Your quest
• The online locale of your search
• Your emotional response to the data.

Sample reference

To begin with, I’d like to say that I’m always on the internet, but if I have to mention a specific time I used it, there is one piece of info that I can remember searching for. It was when I was starting to learn how to do some basic coding a couple of months ago.

At the time, I was desperately trying to find a structured course where I could learn how to code. The course had to not only be free or of little cost, but also up to date with the trends of 2019.

I used my brain and my trusty Google Chrome browser alongside Google.com for this task. Thankfully, in the end, after looking at over a dozen articles, I ended up finding what I was looking for.

I felt pretty satisfied after that because as I mentioned, I checked loads of articles and I was ready to give up. Had it not been for an article on Medium. com, I wouldn’t have found anything. One more thing is that the article was written by an industry expert and has helped me out a lot since and I hope I’ll be able to learn how to code better in the future as well.

Phần 3 của IELTS Speaking

As far as I’m concerned, young people prefer to read news in online articles on the Internet. I mean to be honest they do everything on the Internet, from talking to studying, so getting news is no exception. However, the older generations, who are not familiar with the virtual world, like to get news via daily newspapers. Also, information from newspapers are generally more trustworthy than online news.

2. What are the differences between getting information from library and getting information from newspapers?

Gợi ý:

• Báo: chú trọng vào tin tức mới nhất và một số chủ đề hot: chính trị, thể thao.
• Thư viện: cung cấp thông tin về đa dạng chủ đề, bao gồm cả những chủ đề phổ biến và không phổ biến, môi trường yên tĩnh và thuận tiện hơn cho việc đọc so với báo.

Newspapers tend to focus on a limited number of controversial topics like sport or politics. In addition, newspapers only cover the latest news. But if want to find a past article about specific subjects like chemistry or history, there is a higher chance that I will find what I need in the library. Not only are libraries a wealth of knowledge but they also help readers concentrate better thanks to the quiet atmosphere.

3. Is information on the Internet reliable?

Suggestion:

• Có: Các bài viết học thuật thường có thông tin chính xác, được nghiên cứu kỹ lưỡng.
• Không: Thông tin thường bị phóng đại, được quảng cáo quá mức, là báo chí bị kiểm soát chặt chẽ, báo lá cải.

Indeed and not quite. Undoubtedly, given that anyone can publish content online, it's crucial not to blindly trust everything we encounter on the web. Furthermore, many journalists craft sensationalized pieces with clickbait headlines or misconstrue quotes during interviews to boost their audience. This is vividly demonstrated by tabloid journalism, the bane of many public figures.

Vocabulary

• Chủ đề gây tranh cãi: chủ đề gây tranh cãi
• Thừa sức kiến thức: dư sức kiến thức
• Phân tích sai: hiểu lầm
• Báo lá cải: báo lá cải
