YOUNG CHILDREN
- Mostly prefer to read comic books
- But: other children who prefer thrillers and detective novels and fictional books
Reasons for supporting comics:
WEEK 1- IELTS SPEAKING SKILL
+ The first and important feature of the comic books is that they are illustrated
and colourful, attracting the small children
- However, children who have entered into their teen prefer to read thrillers.
Reasons for supporting others
+ Read novels of different writers as well which help them to get different ideas
about the world.
+ Science fictions are the other genres that the children like most but when the
books come with some illustrations, they become more popular than the other
books.
+ Explain in details: Since the children are young in their mental faculty, the
glittering states of the books attract them most and the comic books are advanced
in this case.
GROWING UP
When they grow up, their tastes of reading books change and this is quite natural
that they will move to some other genres to explore the realm (LĨNH VỰC) of
knowledge.
2. Why do you think some children do not read books very often?
SEVERAL REASONS
Yes, there are some children who do not prefer to read books and they are habitually
engaged with
+ video games or use social networking sites.
+ Besides, they are also attracted to television.
Explain:
In fact, they are not responsible as they lack the reading habit. It is their parents who
did not inspire them in reading books from their early childhood. Reading is a habit
and it needs to be formed from the early part of life. But a majority of the parents do
not buy books for their children instead they buy smartphones for their kids so that
they could get connected with them and everyone in virtual manners.
Concluding sentence: If they had inspired them on reading different sorts of books, it
would have been better for the children.
4. Are there any occasions when reading at speed is a useful skill to have? What are
they?
Well, there are some particular occasions when someone needs to read at a speed.
+ When you are complete a large chapter for your examination, you need to be a quick
reader. It happens before the examination that the students are to race against time and
thus they need to read in a speedy mode.
+ Further, when you are seeking something important, particularly on newspaper,
you need to read quickly. The newspapers are filled with numerous information and you
are to sort out specific information for your needs. Speedy readings will be a helpful skill
for you at that time.
+ Moreover, when you need to find out any specific lines from a book or any text,
speedy reading is the most effective way.
5. Are there any jobs where people need to read a lot? What are they?
RESEARCH:
+ I think when people have to get involved in any research, they need to read.
+ Before taking any decision for the research, they need to go through different important
texts to get ideas.
For example: When you would like to study the reading habits among children, you
should research the the articles or previous studies to see whether there were studies
related to your topic to write the Literature Review (Điểm qua tài liệu/ công trình nghiên
cứu trước đó).
+ Moreover, when people are engaged in journalism, then they are badly in need of
reading as without reading, they are unable to write about any issues.
+ Further, teaching is another profession that requires reading. If the teacher does not
read frequently, s/ he would be incapable of disseminating information among the
students.
+ Doctors are also to read more and more to know about the latest happenings in the
arena of medical science. Newer life-saving technologies have been invented and many
are in the pipeline and if they read frequently, they would be able to imply the knowledge
of their patients.

touch of the other animals. Besides, the
giraffes are not ferocious like the other wild
animals. Moreover, this place has feeding
stations to feed them. When I fed the little
one that did not show any unsatisfactory sign
rather allowed me to brush its body too. My
mother clicked the pictures for me. The

cannot pay proper attention to their pets. They do respect the pets but proper attentions are not
provided for the pets due to their hefty wordloads.
- About 10 years back, people used to pass intimate moments with their pets, they used to bath
and feed them every day by themselves, played with them but the events are rare or sometimes
irregular in the current days.
WEEK 1- IELTS SPEAKING SKILL
5. Earlier people used animals for their work. Now, what do people use to do their work?
Ideas
- With the advancing age, everything has become modernised and mechanised. Vehicles have
replaced the animals like horse or buffaloes to pull carts or transport goods and men from place
to places.
- Sometimes, they used dogs to hunt animals for meats, but now they are collecting processed
meats from stores.
- Moreover, earlier there were horse races which have been replaced by car racing events.
These days people rely on technological devices mostly to have their job done.
7. So many animals are extinct these days. What do you think about this? Why it is
happening?

bừa bãi) are hunting down animals which are bad for the environment and for the humans too.
- Mostly the animals are killed for their skin and horns.
- Precious products and medicines are made from the animal skins and horns and thus
poachers are killing them illegally in the jungles resulting in their extinction. It should be
prevented strictly or the species will get lost forever.
Reasons:
- Deforestation, new constructions, people’s greed and temperature changes are some of the
others reasons many animal species are getting extinct.
- Global warming is a threat both for human and other species. We should take every measure
to reduce the global temperature.
- Apart from that, hunting of wild animals should be completely banned.
