Sample IELTS Speaking for reference
There was a trip in the past when I actually got completely bored.
That was a vacation one year ago, after my stressful probationary period at my current company. At that ttme, I really needed to break the wheel of monotony in my everyday life and rejuvenate myself. So my buddies and I decided to take a trip to Dalat city to relax. We made a lot of plans, most of which, unfortunately didn’t go as expected.
As soon as I arrived in Dalat city, it started pouring outside. The weather was freezing, while dark clouds covered up the morning sky. Lightning flashed and thunder roared continually near the horizon, discouraging every holidaymakerfrom doing anything outdoors. So, we resorted to staying indoors and siting by the window, watching the raindrops falling outside.
It was a terrible moment for me. All of my companions were falling asleep after the 5 hours journey in the car. I was the only one awake in the room then, waiting for the rain to stop and having nobody at all to talk with. I felt terribly bored because I expected to visit many well-known destinations and try local cuisines, but the rain didn’t let up until 1PM that day.
I lost half of the day due to the storm, so in the future, I will avoid the rainy season when travelling, or at least, have a look at the weather forecast before embarking on a trip somewhere.

IELTS Speaking Part 3
Gợi ý: do monotonous tasks over and over (làm hoài những công việc nhàm chán), repettion (sự lặp đi lăp lại), without any innovations (mà không có cải tến gì cả)
People have a tendency to feel bored when they have to do monotonous tasks over and over. For example, boredom strikes when an office worker has to spend many years doing paperwork in a nine-to-five job with a high level of repettion. Nothing is interesting if everything just repeats day after day without any innovations.
Why are people less interested in reading books nowadays?
Hints: the rapid pace of contemporary life (cuộc sống hiện đại diễn ra nhanh chóng), overwhelmed by (bị áp đảo bởi), have a positive impact on (có tác động tích cực lên)
This could be attributed to the rapid pace of modern life that many individuals are experiencing nowadays. They are often overwhelmed by their work and family commitments, leaving little time for their personal interests. Despite being aware of the benefits that reading can have on their mental well-being, people may prioritize sleeping, socializing with friends, or scrolling through social media instead.
What measures can employers take to enhance employees' motivation in the workplace?
Hints: financial incentives (động lực về tài chính), enhance their motivation (tăng cường động lực của họ), recognize (nhận ra, thừa nhận), make further advancements (đạt được tiến bộ hơn)
