Sample Answer (Sample Answer) Reflections IELTS Speaking Part 1
1. Do you enjoy seeing your reflection in the mirror? How frequently?
I inspect myself in the mirror every day; I believe it's something many people do when they enter the bathroom because usually there's a plain mirror above the sink, right? So, whenever any of us needs to wash up, brush our teeth, or just pass by the sink, we unconsciously glance at ourselves in the mirror. I work as a teacher and often stand in front of many people, so I want to appear neat. That's why I check myself in the mirror to ensure my hair is tidy, my face is well-groomed, and my clothes are not wrinkled.
- check myself out in the mirror: kiểm tra bản thân mình trong gương
- plane mirror: gương cầm tay
- take a glance at ourselves: nhìn lại bản thân mình trong gương
- presentable: đoan trang
2. Have you ever purchased mirrors?
No, I don't think I have. I remember replacing the rearview mirror of my motorcycle once, though I'm not sure if that counts. Generally, I've never bought a mirror specifically for self-examination.
- rearview mirror: gương chiếu hậu
- checking myself out: soi bản thân trong gương
3. Do you usually carry a mirror with you?
No, I don’t. I am aware of my appearance but not overly fixated on it. I also don’t use makeup, so I find having a compact mirror unnecessary. Sometimes when I need to see myself, I simply use the front camera of my smartphone or see my reflection in the windows or glass doors of passing cars or buildings.
- obsessed with my look: quá quan tâm về vẻ bề ngoài của bản thân
- compact mirror: gương nhỏ gọn
- front camera: camera trước
- reflection: sự phản xạ
4. Would you consider using mirrors as decorations in your room?
I've never really thought about it, but I believe it could be a valuable decorative element. If placed well, it would certainly add a sense of spaciousness and elegance to a room, so yes, I think I would.
- decorative piece: vật dụng trang trí
- spaciousness: rộng rãi
