3. Bài mẫu chủ đề ielts speaking thường gặp

Bài mẫu chủ đề Sport

Do you play any sports?

Not as much as I should. I’m really busy with my job these days, so I don’t get the
chance to do as many sports as I would like. I used to play basketball and swim on the
weekend but not anymore.

Ở những câu hỏi Yes/No question như trên. Nếu các bạn chỉ trả lời có hay không thì
chắc chắn sẽ không được điểm cao. Có rất nhiều cách để mở rộng câu trả lời cho dài
hơn. Chẳng hạn như câu trên, phần trả lời có thêm giải thích cho việc tại sao bản thân
không choi thể thao nữa cũng như miêu tả về quá khứ.

How long have you played basketball?

Since I was about 15 years old. I remember playing a computer game about
basketball when I was about 10 and it made me obsessed with the sport. From then on
I played basketball every weekend until I went to university and then other things took
priority, but I regret not maintaining it because it was something I loved doing.

Ở những câu hỏi về thời gian như trên, dừng lại ở câu trả lời là chưa đủ. Trong câu trả
lời trên, chúng ta có thể kể về nguyên nhân tại sao lại bắt đầu yêu thích môn bóng rỗ
cũng như thể hiện cảm xúc của mình ra về vấn đề đó.

Do you watch sport on TV?

Soccer is my favorite sport to watch on TV. I’m terrible at soccer but I love watching
it on TV, especially big games like the Champions League. I am a huge fan of Chelsea
Football Club in the UK but my friends are Manchester United fans so we always bet
when those two clubs play each other. It’s a very fun activity between our group of
friend.

Thay vì trả lời trực tiếp yes/no. Chúng ta có thể cung cấp thêm các thông tin liên quan
(chú ý chỉ nên thêm các thông tin liên quan tới câu hỏi) để kéo dài câu trả lời ra.

What is the most popular sport in your country?

In my country, there are two dominant sports: Soccer and Basketball. They are
popular because they’re so easy to play. People can start a game anywhere, with
anyone, not as a formal competition but as a socializing event.

Câu trả lời này cũng tương tự những câu trên khi chúng ta giải thích rõ nguyên nhân
(because they’re so easy to play. People can start a game anywhere, with anyone, not
as a formal competition but as a socializing event) cho hiện tượng được trả lời (there
are two dominant sports: Soccer and Basketball).

How do people in your country stay fit?

Lots of young people play field sports, but more and more people are joining gyms.
Gyms have really taken off recently as people worry more and more about their
appearance. I think it has much more to do with how good people look rather than
actually keeping fit.

Is it important for children to play sports?

Definitely. Sport not only keeps them healthy, but it also teaches them discipline and
keeps them out of trouble. For instance, in my school, the kids who were dedicated to
sport also achieved the highest grades in school and went on to good universities
where they continued to work hard.

Ở 2 câu hỏi trên, chúng ta có thể thấy việc giải thích lí do cùng với đưa ra ý kiến cá
nhân và cảm xúc của bản thân về vấn đề được nếu ra trong câu hỏi là một cách rất hay
để có thể phát triển ý tưởng và mở rộng câu trả lời của mình hơn.

4. Bài mẫu chủ đề “lạ”

Bài mẫu chủ đề Shoes

Do you like to buy expensive shoes?

No. I’m more interested in comfort than brand recognition. When shopping for a pair
of shoes, my priority is to have the most comfortable one, not the most expensive one.
With that being said, the design of the shoes is also important for me.
Như dặn dò trước đó, đối với những câu hỏi yes/no question, các bạn có thể mở rộng
thêm ý bằng cách giải thích cho câu trả lời của mình bằng cách đưa ra một ví dụ từ
một kinh nghiệm của chính bản thân mình (như trong trường hợp ở trên)

When you buy shoes, do you prefer convenience or style?

To be honest, I consider both when buying shoes. I will buy the pair that looks the
best without hurting my feet when I try it on.

Why do you think some people buy many pairs of shoes?

Probably because shoes are considered to be fashion nowadays, just like clothes. And
of course, you can not just have only one shirt or one jean. You would to have wide
range of options for your outfit every day. Moreover, each event required different
types of shoe. For example, if you’re going to a conference, a pairs of leather shoes
would be a more suitable option than a pair of sneakers.

Have you ever bought shoes online?

The internet opened a lot of opportunities for business and shopping online is one of
the opportunities. Most of my shoes were bought online because the online shop has
more options and you can just return them easily if it does not fit you.

Bài mẫu

The party was my best friend’s birthday celebration (giải thích bữa tiệc do ai tổ chức).
It took place last month, during the evening (Bữa tiệc diễn ra khi nào). My friend held
the party in a beautifully converted barn in a rural location on the edges of Sheffield
in England (bữa tiệc diễn ra ở đâu).

(Phần diễn tả buổi tiệc) The venue had a wooden polished floor and was very simply
decorated with some tastefully positioned fairy lights and candles (miêu tả tổng quát
trước).

The candles were, in fact, artificial for safety reasons, but they looked very realistic.
There was low-level music playing and lots of places to sit and chat or mingle with
other guests. If I remember correctly, there were white tablecloths over the tables and
some simple but lovely floral decorations. (miêu tả không khí của buổi tiệc)

The food was provided by a friend who specializes in fast street food. You could
queue up for a delicious meal presented in a wrap from a very jolly woman serving
from an open-sided vehicle parked in the cobbled courtyard outside. In a separate
annexed room inside was a table almost collapsing under the weight of delicious
home-made cakes and puddings on one side, and glorious British cheeses on the
other. (những điểm đặc biệt đáng nhớ từ buổi tiệc)

Besides eating and drinking, I made a lot of new friends. The music got louder from
9PM. Everyone including me danced to the music until midnight (miêu tả những việc
bạn đã làm trong buổi tiệc). I definitely had a great time at the party. (trình bày cảm
xúc của mình)
