1. Do you come from a large or small family?

Currently, I live in an extended family setup with my parents, brother, and sister-in-law. Also, there are my lovely niece and nephew.

Every Lunar New Year's Eve, we gather to watch the annual comedy show 'Táo Quân' broadcasted on national television. I cherish the moment when we dine together while enjoying the show. It feels like bidding farewell to the old year and leaving behind all the unfortunate events of the past.

  - Wave goodbye (v): chào tạm biệt

4. How well do you get along with your family members?

3. Example of Speaking Topic Describe your mother

Listen to the Podcast sample IELTS Speaking Part 2 - Describe your mother:

My mother is the most cherished person in my life, so I spend most of my time with her among all family members. She takes care of the household. Although she used to work, she chose to step back to take care of me during my final year of high school while Mytouraring for university entrance exams. That's why I consider her a devoted parent who sacrificed her career for her child. She's also strict about my studies, so we've had disagreements, but we've never had a long-lasting family feud.
As for activities we enjoy together, there are two favorites. First, we love shopping together. My mom is my personal stylist, recommending dresses like high-waist or A-line ones that suit me perfectly.
Moreover, going to the movies is another favorite pastime. We share a love for comedy films, and I think we've watched “Bridesmaids” at least three times. Despite being busy with work in recent years, I make time to see my mom on weekends or at least have lunch together on Sundays.
Even with a busy job, I make an effort to discuss work matters with her, wanting her to know I can handle my responsibilities well and feel secure in my environment. She's my closest family member, and I strive to be a reliable child she can rely on as she ages.

III. Model Answer for IELTS Speaking Part 3 Topic: Family

Listen to a Sample Podcast for IELTS Speaking Part 3 - Topic Family:

1. How have families in your country changed recently?

Most Vietnamese women marry at 24, a trend unchanged in the past decade, but now couples are delaying parenthood compared to earlier generations. Financial concerns play a significant role in this shift.
Young people today view raising children not just as providing food but also ensuring they receive the best education and entertainment. Another notable change is the acceptance of same-sex couples in society, despite lacking official government recognition, marking a positive step towards a more civilized society.

- - Cover (v): đủ chi trả
  - Norm (n): điều bình thường
  - Endorsement (n): sự xác nhận
  - Civilized (adj): văn minh

2. Should spouses have different roles within the family? Why (or why not)?

I believe there's no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. I see marriage as a partnership. Some couples choose to focus on their respective careers, finding efficiency in dividing responsibilities between motherly and fatherly roles when caring for their children. Traditional models often feature a male breadwinner and a stay-at-home wife.
Conversely, some prefer sharing household chores. Both partners work and care for their children. The world is no longer male-dominated, so outdated gender roles shouldn't restrict people anymore.

- - Definite answer (n): câu trả lời rõ ràng
  - Maternal (adj): thuộc nhà ngoại
  - Paternal (adj): thuộc nhà nội
  - Favour doing sth: thích làm gì hơn
  - Chauvinist (adj): cho rằng đàn ông hơn phụ nữ mọi mặt

3. What is more important to you: your family or your friends?

It was a tough decision, but I ultimately choose my family. My parents, despite the commonality of it all, brought me into this world and nurtured me until I became physically and mentally mature. They are my main support and provide invaluable advice.

- - Cliché (adj): rập khuôn
  - Nurture (v): nuôi dưỡng
  - Tower of strength (n): nguồn sức mạnh
  - Back sb up (v): hỗ trợ ai

Các câu hỏi thường gặp

What activities do you and your family enjoy doing together?

My family and I enjoy several activities, especially during the Lunar New Year. We love gathering to watch the comedy show 'Táo Quân' and have a hearty meal together. It's a time for bonding and bidding farewell to the old year.

How does your mother contribute to the family?

My mother is the backbone of our household. She takes care of all the domestic chores, and even though she had a career, she chose to step back to support me during my final high school year. She is a devoted and selfless parent.

How has the role of women in Vietnamese families changed over time?

Recently, many Vietnamese women are delaying parenthood due to financial concerns. More women are pursuing careers, and there's been a shift in family roles, with some women choosing to balance both work and childcare responsibilities, moving away from traditional roles.

What is your opinion on the traditional roles of spouses within a family?

I believe that traditional gender roles in families are no longer essential. In modern families, partners should share responsibilities. Some families prefer traditional roles, but others focus on teamwork, with both parents sharing career and domestic duties equally.

Why do you value spending time with your family?

I value time with my family because they are my closest support system. Despite busy schedules, I make time for my mother, and I cherish our weekends together. Spending quality time strengthens our family bond and ensures we're always there for each other.
