[IELTS Speaking Part 2] Describe a favorite toy you played as a child

-


Đồ chơi thì chắc là có nhiều loại rồi đúng không? Có những loại đồ chơi mà các bạn nữ và các bạn nam hay chơi riêng biệt (dù mình thấy toy thì không phân biệt giới tính cho lắm) cơ mà mình sẽ chọn mô tả một đồ chơi mà bạn nào cũng biết nhé! Đó chính là khối Rubik.

Mình gửi mọi người phần thu âm: Describe a favorite toy you played as a child

Transcript:

Well, even though I was not into playing toys when I was a kid, if I am to describe my favorite piece of toy, I will talk about the first Rubik's cube that I got as a birthday present. If my memory serves me right, it was actually one of the first toys that I received from my parents when I was small and as a child, I was always so excited to play with it.

At first, I was kinda clueless on how to solve the Rubik’s cube. I mean the Internet was not so popular in the early 2000s so I didn’t know the correct way to play with it. So basically what I did was blindly turning the blocks and obviously I couldn’t solve even the most basic formations. Finally, one of my cousins who was quite familiar with this toy taught me the important rules and gave a step-by-step instruction on what I needed to know before I could handle it. As opposed to my initial thinking of this toy as something colorful that any child could play with, the Rubik’s cube really required the players to practice day by day and have excellent problem-solving skills. I think this toy really helped to develop my cognitive abilities, which turned out to be extremely beneficial for me when I grow up. I am so thankful that my parents gave me such a good toy and maybe in the future when I have a kid, I will give them a similar one.

AI and the future applications in education

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an essential tool in many aspects of life, and its impact on teaching and learning languages is far from negligible. Based on my observations, the use of AI will continue to improve my teaching quality as a test-prep teacher. Over the next two years, I expect that AI will be more deeply integrated in the teaching process of teachers, me included. I have been using AI tools, mainly ChatGPT and ElevenLabs to assist with preparing lecture materials. ChatGPT plays a crucial role in editing my lesson plans and marking homework and tests, while ElevenLabs is used for voice generation, which provides precise and natural-sounding audio content for my lessons. In a two-year time, these tools will probably be improved, with updates in the current features and introductions of new ones. With the anticipated integration of more AI technologies in teaching and learning, I certainly have to improve my knowledge on this tool if I want to fully utilise it. As di...

[IELTS Writing Task 2 - Actual Test 09/01/2021] INTERNATIONAL SPORTS EVENTS

-

Đề full: Some people think that organizing international sports events is good for the host country while others think it is bad. Discuss both views and state your opinion. Mở bát đầu năm bằng một chiếc đề cũng không khó lắm nhỉ các bạn ơi :> Mặc dù là chủ đề sports, một trong những chủ đề tử thần (với mình), nhưng khá dễ liên tưởng ví dụ như các kỳ Olympic Games chẳng hạn. Đợt trước mình có nhớ có 1 bài reading ở đâu đó nói về việc tổ chức các kỳ sự kiện này tốn rất nhiều tiền của và các lợi ích nhận lại thì quá ngắn hạn. Vì vậy, mình quyết định chọn viết theo style counter argument. Đây là dàn bài mình gợi ý cho học viên để viết, các bạn có thể tham khảo nhé! Body 1: Benefits - The economic benefits coming from an increase in the number of tourists who visit the host country to spectate the events. – Những lợi ích về mặt kinh tế xuất phát từ sự tăng lên của lượng khách du lịch - Refuting ideas: This is a short-term benefit because it can only last for several months before and aft...

[IELTS Speaking Part 2] Describe a person who wears clothes that you think are unusual Ôi chủ đề Fashion yêu thích của mình luôn :)) Bài này kiểu hơi trúng tủ nên từ vựng chủ đề khá dày đặc. Các bạn có thể thấy với những bài kiểu như thế này thì các từ vựng để mô tả cần phải thuần thục nên chúng mình cứ chuẩn bị trước ở nhà nhé! :> _________________ Mình gửi mọi người phần thu âm: https://soundcloud.com/trung-c-796987177/describe-a-person-who-wears-clothes-that-you-think-are-unusual Transcript: Well, even though I do not count myself a fashion lover, I do know one or two things about this particular subject. For this topic, I would like to talk about Harry Styles, a former boy band member and now a true fashion icon. As I can recall, I have been following him on social media since his days in the boy band, One Direction. At that time, he was not as adventurous as he is now in terms of fashion actually. His choices of outfit, even on or off stage, were quite safe with sport boyish tr...
