[IELTS Speaking Part 2] Describe a person’s home you visited that you liked, but would not want to live in

-



Phải nói là đề IELTS Speaking càng ngày càng hỏi chi tiết mọi người ạ. Bài này mà bạn nào không flexible chuẩn bị trước bài building ở nhà cứ thế nói là dễ lạc đề ngay và luôn nhé. Mọi người nhớ chú ý sử dụng những từ mang tính đối lập để nói về việc mình “liked” nhưng lại “would NOT want to live in” nhé!

Transcript:

Well, to be honest, I have been to many parts of Vietnam and paid a visit to numerous residential places of the locals. However, for this topic, I would like to talk about my friend’s house in Quang Ninh that I was lucky to be a guest last summer. The house is located on a main street of this port city within close proximity to many great restaurants and some of the best recreational places. My friend and I were on a get-away trip to Ha Long Bay at that time so we had a chance to come by his house for a quick visit.

Looking from the outside, this house really stands out thanks to its architectural style that is not uniform to other houses in the neighborhood. Instead of following the traditional Vietnamese style, the building adopted a rather western one with a breeze of Mediterranean architecture evidenced by its light blue paint color. For interior design, I was quite impressed with the minimalistic style of the furniture and also their arrangements which are certainly simple yet effective. Besides that, the balcony overlooking the sea was also a notable feature of this house. I could imagine myself sitting there watching the starry night sky after a long day of hard work.

However, if you ask me whether I would like to live there or not, my answer is no. The reason is that sometimes I could still smell the odor/stench of dead fish from the beach nearby, which was a little nauseating for me since I do have a quite sensitive nose in general. Maybe I would love to visit that house again if I have a chance but I am not gonna be staying there for long.

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...
