Sample Answer (Câu trả lời mẫu) Number IELTS Speaking Part 1

1. What is your favorite number? 

Well, I'm not someone who believes in superstitions about numbers. However, if I had to choose an interesting number, it would be “9.” In the Vietnamese education system, a 9 represents a high score, reflecting commitment to study. Unlike a perfect 10, a 9 signifies excellence with room for improvement, reminding us that there's always a higher peak to strive for. 

• puts much stock in: đặt nhiều niềm tin vào
• superstitions: điều mê tín
• intriguing: thú vị
• dedication: tận tâm

2. Are you skilled at memorizing phone numbers? 

Not at all! Nowadays, I depend more on social media to keep in touch with people. Instead of memorizing phone numbers, I simply remember their Facebook or Zalo accounts. It’s much simpler and more convenient than dealing with a long series of mind-numbing complex numbers.  

• mind-numbing: làm tê liệt tâm trí

3. Do you frequently use numbers? 

Well, numbers are just something we encounter regularly, whether it’s calculating daily expenses or tracking our health metrics during exercise. I have to admit that although I’m not particularly fond of them, numbers do help us accurately measure everything, which definitely enhances our lives.  

• daily expenses: chi phí hằng ngày
• health metrics: chỉ số sức khoẻ
• quantify: định lượng

4. Are you skilled at mathematics? 

Actually, back in my primary school days, I seemed to have a knack for mathematics. This was because my father started teaching me things like multiplication tables and basic calculations when I was just 4 years old. So, you could say that Maths came naturally to me until I entered secondary school, when the problems in this subject became incredibly challenging. Maths truly turned into my worst nightmare. 

• multiplication tables: bảng cửu chương
• basic calculations: phép tính căn bản
• was absolutely a breeze: hoàn toàn là một thứ dễ dàng
• horrendously: một cách kinh khủng
