SPEAKING PART 1
Introduction
The examiner asks the candidate about him/herself, his/her home, work or
studies and other familiar topics.
Welcome to the Speaking section of the IELTS exam, my name is Ly, and I will be
your examiner for this part of the test. The speaking test consists of three parts, I
will give you constructions for each part, and I will record this for marking
purposes. Is that okay? So for the first part I will ask you a couple of questions just
to get to know you a bit better, and also some questions on a general topic.
Ok, so first of all, what is your full name?
SPEAKING PART 1
SPEAKING PART 1
Câu hỏi 1:
How did your parents choose your name(s)? (Ba mẹ bạn đã chọn tên của bạn như thế nào?)
 Đây là một câu hỏi khá đơn giản nhưng mang tính thực tế cao.
 Chúng ta chỉ cần kể lại sự việc.
 Sau đó bạn có thể mở rộng và nói kĩ hơn về lí do ba mẹ chọn tên này.
CÂU TRẢ LỜI MẪU
My parents gave me my name, my father to be exact. Zhi means knowledge, and Lei means
accumulation. So I guess my parents wanted to tell me that being knowledgeable depends on
accumulation. You see, they put a lot of pressure on my shoulders with this name.
Từ vựng nổi bật:
 accumulation (n) sự tích lũy
 knowledgeable (a) hiểu biết nhièu
 pressure (n) áp lực
SPEAKING PART 1
Câu hỏi 2:
Does your name have any special meaning? (Tên của bạn có bất cứ ý nghĩa đặc biệt nào
không?)
 Câu trả lời có thể được đưa ra bằng cách nêu lên những ý nghĩa cơ bản về cái tên của mình,
và nên thực tế, nếu như không có ý nghĩa thì cũng có thể trả lời là “No.”.

CÂU TRẢ LỜI MẪU


My name is ___________. Some people say that it sounds like a girl/boy's name. I
heard that this was given to me by my grandfather because he wanted me to be as
brave as boys/girls. In our language, my first name means "be excellent".

Từ vựng nổi bật:


 brave (a) dũng cảm
SPEAKING PART 1
Câu hỏi 3:
Is your name common or unusual in your country? (Tên của bạn là phổ biến hay không ở
quốc gia của bạn?)
 Đây là một câu khỏi khá đơn giản, thí sinh chỉ cần trả lời thực tế, chú ý nhớ đưa ra lí do cụ thể
cho câu trả lời đó để nó trở nên đầy đủ và hoàn chỉnh hơn.
CÂU TRẢ LỜI MẪU
I have never seen anyone in my country who has the same name as my name is taken after a
name of a Germany actress that my parents admire so much (có thể thay thế nội dung).

Từ vựng nổi bật:


 To take after sb giống với ai / cái gì đó
 Admire (v) ngưỡng mộ.
SPEAKING PART 1
Câu hỏi 4:
If you could change your name, would you? [Why/Why not?] (Nếu có thể thay đổi tên của mình, bạn
có làm điều đó không? Tại sao?)
 Thông thường thì câu trả lời sẽ là không, lí do là bởi càng trưởng thành, con người càng yêu mến cái
tên của mình nhiều hơn nhờ vào những ý nghĩa riêng biệt của nó, dù xấu dù đẹp nó cũng là của mình,
do ba mẹ mình đặt cho. Tuy nhiên bên cạnh đó vẫn còn có những người muốn thay đổi cái tên của
mình cho phù hợp với xu hướng của xã hội.
CÂU TRẢ LỜI MẪU
I quite like my name, and I won't change it for the world, because it is unique. I don't
think that anyone else in Vietnam has the same name. It's part of my identity, and it is
meaningful to me.

Từ vựng nổi bật:


 unique (a) độc đáo
 identity (n) cá tính, đặc điểm để nhận dạng

documentary by Robert Kenner, has been nominated for
some prestigious awards in the USA. Moreover, the teaser
of the documentary also attracted me. So, I started
watching this documentary and came to know about a
large number of confidential issues regarding food
business. In fact, staying healthy is not enough today, we
should be also careful about our food selection. The food
items that we take from the superstores and chain shops
are entirely unhealthy for us. At the same time, the food
producers are damaging the environment. Such issues
were highly confidential until Mr. Kenner unveiled them
on screen through his documentary. Watching the
documentary film was a nice experience for me.

is an analysis of the existing food markets - how these food
items are grown, how the corporations are abusing the
environment, food, animals and people engaged in the food
processing, how they are cheating the consumers and more
other intriguing issues. The advertisements of different food
products show that the foods items are hand picked directly
from the farms. But in reality, they are not, the foods are
‘manufactured’ in factories. Has anyone ever thought how the
seasonal vegetables are available all around the year or how
they are found in plenty during off-seasons? No, we do not
think about such issues. We are not allowed to! The food
industry owners do not want us to know these secrets lest
they fail in the business. Moreover, the filmmaker had to
remain careful about legal issues against him, the production
company and channel that would broadcast it while making
this documentary.

horror serials, a variety of shows, talk shows, reality shows, police drama, crime drama and the most
importantly – news. The choices are different and I think this is natural. They key reason behind the

Yes, there are too many game shows and they are televised with different names. Most of the games
shows are currently termed as the reality show, and they are becoming popular in the current days for
several reasons. The key cause behind the shows is that they can engage audiences. Some of the game
shows are planned to take the audiences as participants. When the number of participants becomes more,
the game shows become too much popular. It also helps to increase the Television Rating Point (TRP) for
the television channels. I think engaging the audiences with the shows is done based on some commercial
grounds. When the audiences will participate in the shows, they are to watch the television shows and if
they watch the shows, they also will have to bear the trouble of advertisements. I believe this a corporate
strategy to make profits by engaging the audiences with the shows and thus the number of the shows is
increasing gradually

As I said earlier, I am not a TV fan! However whenever I surf TV channels I can obviously feel
the number of overwhelming sports channels. This is a proof that people nowadays watch more
sports channels and sports telecasting than ever before. Likewise, the number of game and quiz
shows in different TV channels is also quite high. I have noticed my mom watch two game
shows and she likes them very much. People often watch game shows because those
programmes are entertaining and educational at the same time. The competitive nature and
challenges attract many viewers to watch such programmes. Sometimes there are questions for
the viewers and as a viewer, someone often gets the chance to earn prizes or the opportunity to
participate in the live show. These are in my opinion are the reason games shows are more
popular these days and there are so many of them.

Umm … yes, TV is the main way to get informed about news and other issues in my country, France. There
are some other ways as well to know about the happenings like reading newspapers, online news portals,
using social networking websites etc. But I think television is the main way to get informed. Most of the
people cannot be online to know about the happenings using their social networking accounts. They lack
access to the internet when they are out of the home. Many of the smartphone users do not prefer to use their
cellular networks for the internet surfing. Moreover, newspapers usually publish the news on the next day
with the happenings of the present day. Many of the readers are reluctant to browse the online news portals as
those are filled with advertisements. So, they have only one platform left – television. Thereby, most of the
people in France rely on television for news. The television channels broadcast a wide range of events and
issues while some of them are telecasted live based on the importance.

A wide number of advertisements are aired on television and the majority of the products are about
consumption. The products include edible items, cosmetics for male and female, perfumes, cars, attires,

great care and none of them arouses irritation. The themes are clearer and the ideas are excellent. Most of
the messages are sent to the audiences within an enjoyable environment. Besides, the advertisement
makers exhibit their creative faculty which is also interesting and thus they try to persuade the audiences

Well, the question is a bit tougher to answer. There are some preconditions to get the attention of
the audiences for the advertisements. Most of the audiences do not pay attention if the
advertisements are in the middle of any attractive programme. When the television authority airs
advertisement on any exciting show, the audiences get irritated no matter how better the
advertisement script is. Even, I myself also become bored when the advertisements are aired in
the middle of any TV event. But when people sit idly to enjoy television shows, they pay
attention to the advertisements which actually are aired on the beginning of the programme.
Usually, people get excited in line with the excitements of the TV programmes and when the
advertisements are on the midway of the event, they feel a sense of deep anger to the advertisers
and television authority for their idiotic sense.

Umm … I think regulations on TV advertisements are important. Most of the advertisements are
aired during the middle of programmes and news. It is highly irritating. The regulations should
take of the issues. Besides, some of the advertisements also show sexually explicit materials
which are inappropriate for all types of audiences. So, such advertisements should be restricted
and before airing the advertisements, a statutory warning should be given. Moreover, the
regulations should direct the TV stations to air advertisements during specific hours. It happens
that the TV stations air the advertisements around the day and they do not have any specific
schedule for the airing. It appears that they air the ads based on their will. So, I think the
regulations on TV advertising are highly important.
