Sample IELTS Speaking for reference
You know, as soon as I graduated from university, I threw a big party to celebrate this achievement. That was one of the toughest times I’d been through because I had to pull a bunch of all-nighters over many months to revise for my graduation exams. I looked like a panda with dark circles around my eyes, and my hair went gray. My parents, seeing me like this, were very worried and they never ceased to encourage me to keep moving forward.
In the end, I did it. I mean, I passed the university entrance exam. Needless to say, my parents were over the moon. They wanted to announce to the world that I finally graduated from FTU, one of the most prestigious universities in my city. Personally, besides feeling happy and proud of myself, I was also grateful for their love and care, so I decided to use my savings to hold a BBQ in my own backyard.
The day the party took place, nearly one hundred guests came, most of whom showed up early to help me prepare the food and drinks. During the party, the atmosphere was very cozy because I just invited my family members, relatives and a few acquaintances. I could see that my parents were very proud because I had grown up and become mature enough to find a job, hopefully a well-paid one to support my family.

IELTS Speaking Part 3
Gợi ý: depends on their financial ability (tuỳ vào khả năng tài chính), take advantage of (tận dụng, lợi dụng), show off their wealth (khoe mẽ về sự giàu có), less privileged families (gia đình kém giàu có hơn)
That depends on their financial ability. Like, rich people often hold a big party in a fancy restaurant, because they can take advantage of this party as a way to show off their wealth. However, those living in less privileged families have a tendency to do it at home in a cozy atmosphere to gather and spend time with each other.
2. Why is it so important for sports fans to celebrate when their favorite team wins?

3. How should parents reward their children who achieve a high score?
Suggestions: unwind, be exposed to sunshine, do wonders for, grow up materialistic
I think the most effective approach is to offer them a vacation to renowned destinations. This not only helps them relax after exams but also allows them to enjoy sunlight exposure, which is beneficial for their physical health. It's preferable to monetary rewards as it discourages materialistic attitudes in children.
