IELTS SPEAKING INTRODUCTION

Students should wear uniform or not?

I think wearing school uniforms has many advantages. To begin with, wearing uniforms encourages
students to be proud of their schools. Secondly, wearing uniforms will help students not being rich
and poor discrimination. Rich or poor students are required to wear the same clothes to school.
Besides, wearing school uniforms is pracal. First, it saves time, you don't have to think of what to
wear everyday and this will help students concentrate on learning. Second, it saves money. Students
will not spend too much money to buying clothes because they just have two outfit for a year. What's
more, secondary school students should wear uniforms.

The Speaking Module is the final part of the IELTS exam. It does not need to be taken
on the same day as the other Modules. It takes the form of three-part oral interview,
which takes between 11 and 14 minutes.

IELTS SPEAKING PART 1: Introduction and interview

● Time: 4-5 mins.

● The examiner will ask you a number of general questions. Be prepared to

introduce yourself and talk about things which are personal to you, for example,
your country and home town, your family, your studies or work, what you like
doing in your free time and what you might do in the future.

● To answer the questions, you only need to provide the information asked for and

perhaps add a supporting detail or two. You do NOT need to give lengthy answers
and you do NOT need to use difficult academic words.

Example:

Q: Where do you like to go in your free time?

Page 1 | 121
A: Well, I often go to the library because I like to read English books but I can’t
afford to buy many of my own. 1

IELTS SPEAKING PART 2: Individual long turn

● Time: 3-4 minutes.

● In this part of the IELTS speaking module, the examiner will give you a card that

asks you to talk about a person, place, event or object. You will have 1 minute to
think about your answer, making notes if you prefer to do so, and then you will be
asked to speak for 1-2 minutes. You should pay careful attention to the verb tenses
used in the question and use matching tenses in your answer.

Example:

Describe a person who has had an important influence on your life.

You should say:

Who the person is

How you first met this person

What you think of this person

And explain in what way they have influenced your life.

The examiner will not speak during this time so you must concentrate on speaking by
yourself. The examiner will stop you if you continue speaking for more than two
minutes.

Page 2 | 121
At the end of IELTS Speaking Part 2, the examiner will ask you one or two rounding-
2
off questions before continuing on to Part 3.

IELTS SPEAKING PART 3: Two-way discussion

● Time: 5-6 mins

● In this part, the examiner will ask for your opinion on a range of issues related

to the topic in part 2. However, the discussion will be on less personal topics.
For example, in Part 2 you may talk about a teacher you had at school, but in
Part 3 you might talk about education in your country.

● This time, there is no preparation time before speaking so you must begin

speaking immediately. You should aim to say as much as possible. Give more
than one reason, or compare and contrast different views. The longer your
answers, the fewer questions you will need to answer.

Page 3 | 121
Example:

Q: Do you think celebrities have too much influence on young people?

A: Definitely, yes. I think it’s because the media has become such a major part of our
lives. When my parents were growing up, for example, there were only three TV
channels and no internet, but nowadays young people are almost constantly exposed
to news and entertainment. It’s not surprising that they tend to pay more attention to
who’s on TV rather than their own families.

● IELTS candidates often feel that Part 3 places them under enormous pressure.

However, it is not a test of your knowledge or intellect – you only need to be able
to present an opinion in a style of language appropriate to academic discussion. It
doesn’t matter if your opinion is unoriginal or flawed, as long as you attempt to
support it!

⮚ MARKING

Performance is assessed on the following criteria:

● Fluency and Coherence: Do you express ideas and opinions clearly and

coherently, without long hesitations?

● Lexical Resources: Do you use a wide range of vocabulary?

● Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Do you use a wide range of structures and

make only a few minor mistakes?

● Pronunciation: Are you easy to understand? Do you use English pronunciation

features naturally?

The overall result is translated into a score on the IELTS nine-band score.

⮚ SPEAKING TEST ADVICE 4

✔ Be relaxed and try to be friendly. Remember the examiner is trying to find out
what you know, not what you don’t know.

✔ You can ask the examiner to repeat the question if you did not understand it the
first time.

Page 5 | 121
✔ Record yourself or practice speaking on a variety of topics for 1 – 2 minutes. This
will help you gain confidence and practice time management.

✔ Vocabulary - don’t use unfamiliar, long words if you are not sure of their meaning.

✔ If you cannot remember the exact word you want, paraphrase and try to express
your idea using similar words.

✔ Practice making notes, spider-grams, and mind maps which will help you to talk
on various topics in one minute.

✔ Try to develop your answers instead of answering in just one word. Speak loudly
and clearly into the recorder.

✔ Avoid using slang and abbreviations.

✔ Please do not tell the examiner what grade you require or ask how well you have
done. This will only cause embarrassment.

✔ Do not use memorised chunks of language. Examiners are trained to recognise

this. Furthermore, what you have memorised may not be relevant to the topic
being discussed.

Transcript

1. Do you like parks? Why / why not?

Yes, I like parks because they're great places to relax or go for a walk. I think every
city needs some green space where people can escape from the crowds.

…………………………………………………………………………………………

2. How often do you visit parks?

There's a park very close to where I live, so I probably go there once or twice a week
if the weather's nice.

…………………………………………………………………………………………

3. Why are parks an important part of many towns and cities?

Parks are like an oasis where people get away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
They are where people go to have lunch, to take some exercise, or to forget about
work for a while.

…………………………………………………………………………………………

4. What do you think could be done to make parks better?

The parks in big cities are already really good in my opinion. If I think about the
famous parks in London, Paris or New York, I can't imagine what I would do to
improve them.

Describe an environmental problem that has occurred in your country.

You should say:

The cause of the problem

What effect it has had on your country

The steps, if any, that have been taken to solve this

Explain why you think this problem is so important to solve.

Ok, I'm going to talk about a problem with the environment in my country.

One of the most serious problems at the moment is flooding. This is starting to
happen every year and each year it seems to get worse. I think it may be caused by
a number of factors. Firstly, there has been a lot of deforestation in the north of the
country, a lot of it from illegal logging. Because of this, when it rains, the water
has nothing to soak it up, so it just runs down the mountains and into the villages
and towns. Another factor may be global warming. Scientists believe that this is
causing more severe weather, so this may account for the increasing amount of
rain that we seem to be seeing. It also means the soil is drier so again the rain
water runs off it rather than being soaked up.

Unfortunately, there have been really serious effects on my country. As I said,

the excess water runs into the villages and the towns through the rivers and the
rivers then overflow causing massive flooding. This effects thousands of people
who then become homeless. Several hundred usually die each year as well. It
travels through the country as it starts in the north and goes down to the sea, so it
can affect many towns and the capital city too. This also has repercussions for the
government as they have to spend so much money managing the disaster each
year.

VOCABULARIES & STRUCTURES
● Deforestation (n) /ˌdiːˌfɒrɪˈsteɪʃn/: the act of cutting down or burning the trees in

an area: sự phá rừng; phát quang

Eg: land erosion caused by widespread deforestation

● Global warming (n) /ˈɡləʊ.bəl/ /ˈwɔː.mɪŋ/: [uncountable] the increase in

temperature of the earth’s atmosphere that is caused by the increase of particular

gases, especially carbon dioxide: hiện tượng trái đất nóng dần lên do các loại
khí nhà kính như mê tan và cac-bon-đi-ô-xít tích tụ trong khí quyển.

● Logging (n) /ˈlɒɡ.ɪŋ/: the activity of cutting down trees in order to

use their wood: việc đốn gỗ

Eg: logging companies

● Overflow (v) /ˌəʊ.vəˈfləʊ/: [intransitive, transitive] to be so full that the

contents go over the sides: chảy tràn

Eg: The bath is overflowing
- overflow with something: Plates overflowed with party food.
- overflow something: The river overflowed its banks.

● Repercussion (n) /ˌriːpəˈkʌʃn/: an indirect and usually bad result of an action

or event that may happen some time afterwards: hậu quả

� synonym: consequence

Eg: The collapse of the company will have repercussions for the whole industry.

● Run off (v) /rʌn/ /ɔːf/: (of a liquid) to flow out of a container: chảy đi

(nước…)

● Severe (adj) /sɪˈvɪə(r)/: extremely bad or serious: khốc liệt, dữ dội

Page 8 | 121
Eg: His injuries are severe.

● To soak something up: to take in or absorb liquid: ngâm, nhúng

Eg: Use a cloth to soak up some of the excess water. 8

The government is trying to tackle the problem, but it is not easy. They are trying

to stop so much deforestation but a lot of the damage has already been done so what

can

they do? They are also starting to build defenses such as walls along some of the

major rivers that run through the town to try to stop them overflowing. Another thing

they are doing is trying to improve their response systems. In most towns there is now

a government organization responsible for coordinating relief operations and making

sure they are prepared in advance. 9

I think this problem is a top priority to solve because it has such devastating

impacts. As I mentioned before, it causes suffering for so many people and it is also a

huge expense for the government and as we are not a rich country we cannot afford

this. It means that other services suffer because of a lack of money. There are other

problems that my country has but I think that is by far the worst.

to get worse.

PART 3

First we'll talk about global environmental problems

Tell me about some of the environmental problems that are affecting

countries these days?

Well, there are a lot at the moment. Although it has not been proven for sure, there
is a great deal of consensus about the fact that global warming is leading to severe
weather change and this is resulting in many problems. We are seeing a lot of
countries with the same problems that they have always had but on a much larger
scale. For example, in the United States there seems to be far more hurricanes and
tornadoes than in the past, with more devastating effects. There seems to
constantly be news of serious flooding in many countries from Asia to Europe.
Forest fires also seem to be getting worse, particularly each year in Australia.

…………………………………………………………………………………………

Page 12 | 121
…………………………………………………………………………………………

…………………………………………………………………………………………

Do you think that governments around the world are doing enough to tackle
the problems?

No, usually I don't think they are doing enough. There are countries that do what
they can do to help their people when problems occur and they are trying to come
Page 13 | 121
up with measures to mitigate the effects. However, when it comes to the major
issue of global warming, countries are not doing enough. We see time and again
that no agreement can be made on how to reduce carbon footprints. This is usually
because governments know that to make a serious reduction in carbon dioxide
emissions they will have to sacrifice economic growth and they are not prepared to
do this. Governments think very short-term. They know that if there is economic
decline, then they will be voted out. 11

VOCABULARIES & STRUCTURES12

● Consensus (n) /kənˈsensəs/: an opinion that all members of a group agree

with: sự nhất trí (quan điểm)

1. consensus (about/on something): She is skilled at achieving consensus on
sensitive issues.
2. consensus (among somebody) (about/on something): There is a general
consensus among teachers about the need for greater security in schools.
3. consensus (that…): There seems to be a consensus that the plan should be

● Emission (n) /iˈmɪʃn/ [uncountable] (formal) the production or sending out of

light, heat, gas, etc: sự phát ra; tỏa ra (ánh sáng, nhiệt, khí ga…)
Eg: the emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphereemission controls

● Hurricane (n) /ˈhʌrɪkən/: a violent storm with very strong winds, especially in

the western Atlantic Ocean: bão

Eg: Hurricane Betty is now approaching the coast of Florida.

● Mitigate (v) /ˈmɪtɪɡeɪt/: (formal) to make something less harmful, serious, etc;

giảm nhẹ; làm dịu bớt

12
http://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com

LACVIET - mtd9 EVA

Page 15 | 121
� Synonym: alleviate

Eg: Soil erosion was mitigated by the planting of trees.

● Tornadoe (n) /tɔːˈneɪdəʊ/ a violent storm with very strong winds which move

● Vote out (v) /vəʊt/ /aʊt/: to dismiss somebody from a position by voting: bỏ

phiếu loại bỏ ai
Eg: He was voted out of office.

Why do some people not consider environmental problems to be serious?

I think there are several reasons for that. In some cases it is simply because people
are not affected on a day-to-day basis so it does not concern them. They just see it
on the news affecting other people. It does not mean they do not care but they will
soon forget about it. Also, some big organizations can be responsible for putting
the wrong information out. For example, oil companies have a vested interest in
making sure people do not believe in global warming as it could affect their
profits, so they play the issue down. Also, some people think as it is a long-term
problem, they will be dead by the time it will affect them so they think it is not
important for them!

…………………………………………………………………………………………

Page 16 | 121
…………………………………………………………………………………………

…………………………………………………………………………………………

Now we'll look at environmental problems and disasters caused by humans.

What do you consider to be the world’s worst environmental disaster caused
by humans?
I think that may be the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl, Ukraine. In that case there
was an explosion and nuclear meltdown. It caused great loss of life. The
environment was badly affected and it is still affected today and could be for many
years. There are also many people who are still getting sick from the disaster and
no one can live anywhere near the site. Of course there are many other serious
ones, some more recent such as the oil spills in Africa and the US.

…………………………………………………………………………………………

Page 17 | 121
…………………………………………………………………………………………

…………………………………………………………………………………………

Do you think there will be more environmental disasters caused by humans in

the future?
I don't think there will necessarily be more. Procedures are always getting tighter
so in theory there should be fewer. However, mistakes will always happen so I'm
sure they will continue unfortunately. Governments must continue to prosecute
any companies that do cause environmental problems or disasters so that they are
13
less likely to happen again.

And explain why this item is important to you.

My favourite possession and the most valuable thing I’ve ever had was a 90-square-
meter apartment that I won in a lottery when I was 25 years old. I remember living in
a very small house with my in-laws and I used to work full-time at an oil company at
the time… plus, I had a 2-year-old daughter who needed to be looked after 24/7…
that’s why my husband and I decided to move to the city where his family lived so
that they could take care of her.
The first two years, we lived together in an old house with 8 other people. I still
remember vividly how I used to feel. One day I heard about a house sweepstakes in
our company. So I registered for it pessimistically because I could never have
imagined that I’d ever win. It took 2 years for the building of these apartments to
finish…and…since there were 40 people taking part in the lottery and only three
apartments, we only had a slight chance of winning.
Finally …. I heard the best news in my life. Looking back, I couldn’t have been
happier! …I know…it wasn’t a big deal! It was only a small apartment but…to be
honest… it was like a palace for me… This place was important to me because it was
16
my very first apartment and I still reminisce about every single moment of it.

PART 3
1. What kinds of possessions give status to people in your country?

Page 25 | 121
Umm, let me see…I’d say it depends on where you are and who you are with. If you
are out in public, it’s things like the car you are driving. If you have the latest
Mercedes Benz model, then in my country that is a sign of status, as most people can’t
even afford

a car at all, whatever the make. Property, or the house you own, and the possessions
you have in it are also a sign of status. If you have a nice house in a nice area, then
this shows you have money and are someone important.
…………………………………………………………………………………………

…………………………………………………………………………………………

2. Has it always been the same or were different possessions thought of as

valuable in the past?
I’m too young to remember exactly what it was like a long time ago, but yes, I think it
was different. For example, cars as I mentioned before only really came to our country
Page 26 | 121
in the last ten years or so. That kind of consumerism is a fairly recent thing so this
couldn’t have been used as a representation of something valuable. I think it was
things like gold and jewelry that were seen as valuable. Of course these are still seen
as valuable today, but previously it was these things over anything else as a lot of the
modern day possessions were not available.

…………………………………………………………………………………………

3. Why do you think people need to show their status in society?

I believe that this is because it's important in society to show you have money or are
successful – it is nature, or the way we are brought up, that makes us feel like this, but
also the pressure that society puts on everyone to be successful. Going back to the
example of the car, driving around in a Mercedes is a very conspicuous show of status
– it basically says to people, “Look, I am successful and I have money.” Another

Page 27 | 121
reason is possibly for respect. In many cultures, if someone has high status, then they
will be respected by others and they may receive preferential treatment.18

A couple of months ago, I attended a family wedding. It was my sister’s

wedding and it was on a Saturday afternoon. She was getting married to her

long time boyfriend John. They held the wedding ceremony in a local church,

which was really picturesque, very old, and beautiful, set in the countryside a

few hours from where they live.

The ceremony was a small affair, just immediate family and very close friends.

The marriage ceremony lasted about an hour and a half and was all very

formal. After that, we all went to a local hotel for the wedding reception in the

evening. At the reception there were a lot more people, as normal. All their

friends and colleagues from work and friends of the family and so on had all

been invited. I think there must have been about 300 people in total. It was a

very good celebration – everybody was very happy, especially the newlyweds,

and there was dancing, singing and a lot of food.

As usual we all sat down at the beginning and various people made speeches; the

brides father, John’s father, the best man and other close friends including myself,

toasting the bride and bridegroom. Then they served dinner, which was spectacular. I

think it was one of the best meals I have ever had at a wedding. After the meal, people

started to mingle and speak to each other, and for those of them who hadn’t attended

the actual wedding ceremony it was an opportunity to speak with my sister and her

new husband and to congratulate them. 24

Later there was an orchestra which played some beautiful music and people were

dancing, it was all very elegant, like something out of a movie. My sister and John

were delighted with everything and they just looked so happy that I really felt good

for them. It seemed as if they really had the perfect wedding that so many people

dream of. Definitely, one of the most memorable and enjoyable events I have ever

attended. Everything went perfectly.

I don’t usually go to most of the family events that are organized – like family lunches

and things like that, for two main reasons. Firstly, I’m not really that close to my

activities. However, I wouldn’t have missed my sister’s wedding – it was a very

important day.

PART 3 26
Do you think families are important? (Why? / Why not?)
I think families are very important, especially when you are growing up. They provide
a foundation for society and a stable environment where children can grow and
develop, while learning, and being protected and feeling loved. Children learn so
much from their families and a lot of what they learn from their parents in particular –
they carry on into their adult lives. Yes, they’re extremely important.

…………………………………………………………………………………………

Who are more inportant, friends or family? (Why?)

I think as we get older, sometimes friends become more important on a daily or short
term basis. We may have more interaction with friends on a regular basis than our
own family, but in the long term, family is family and the bond between you is longer
and stronger than between friends. Personally though, I think that both are important
to have a well balanced life.

…………………………………………………………………………………………

Page 38 | 121
…………………………………………………………………………………………

…………………………………………………………………………………………

When do friends become more important than family?

Possibly when someone is living a long distance away from their family or even in
another country and it’s not so easy to maintain contact other than by phone or email.
That kind of breaks the bond a little bit. Alternatively not all families have great
relationships, so if you have a dysfunctional family then I think under those
circumstances, friends do actually become more important than family on a day to day
basis because it’s our friends that we share things with and spend most time with.

…………………………………………………………………………………………

What is your opinion about old people who are living without their family?
I think it depends on the circumstances. Many older people nowadays are much more
independent, both financially and health wise, than a generation ago and are not so
dependant on their family when they get older. So they actually prefer to live by
themselves or in sheltered housing or special communities with other people in the

Page 39 | 121
same circumstances. I think this may change back in the future though, as families
begin to integrate more again as a mean of economic survival.

● - Where the restaurant was

● - Why you chose this restaurant

● - What type of food you ate in this restaurant

and explain why you enjoyed eating in this restaurant.

About a year ago, I was invited by a friend of mine to go for lunch at a local

restaurant. He actually chose it, not me, but it was very good and it is one of the

best that I’ve ever eaten in. Everything was excellent, the service, the ambience,

the food, and obviously good company as well, so it was a perfect afternoon we

spent together.

The restaurant was maybe about 5 km outside of the city where we live. It was in

the country and situated next to a lake with a beautiful view of the surrounding

countryside. Like I said, it was actually my friend who chose the restaurant. I

didn’t even know about it, although I had heard several people mention its name

before. It truly was a spectacular location, quite breathtaking in fact. Maybe that’s

why so many people are enthusiastic about the place.

don’t want to eat meat or fish.

I decided to have one of the local salmon, which is supposedly caught from the

lake in front of the restaurant. My friend had a steak, he likes his red meat! The

food was excellent; I couldn’t fault it for anything. It was served quickly and was

delicious. It’s a place I will definitely be recommending to other people now that

I’ve been and tried it for myself.

The whole experience was very good, from the food, the scenery and of course

having an opportunity to catch up with my friend, so there were many reasons that

Why do you think people go to restaurants when they want to celebrate

something?

I guess everyone has their own reasons, but probably because it’s not something they

do every day, so it seems more special, especially if it’s an important occasion. The

other big benefit is that nobody has to do the cooking or clearing up afterwards so

everyone can simply enjoy the celebration or event whichever it is. Nobody has to do

anything. It’s always nice to be waited on, so I think that’s why most people prefer it.

Which are more popular in your country: fast food restaurants or traditional

restaurants?

They’re both popular, but in different ways and for different reasons. I think fast food

restaurants are popular for grabbing a quick bite or snack, as they are ‘fast’ and you

can usually find one nearby. Traditional restaurants are more popular for special

occasions or going out for lunch or dinner at the weekend when people have more

time to sit and enjoy the food and the ambience or atmosphere of the place. They

usually cost more too, so maybe people don’t go as often, but they’re still popular. I

don’t think anyone would consider gong to a fast food place for a special occasion –

Page 51 | 121
unless it was a kids birthday party or something similar, in which case it makes a lot

of sense, as some of these places cater specially for such events.

Why do you think that is? 36

Why are they both popular? I think it’s because they both have good and bad

things about them – they both cater for different needs and situations, and they

both do what they do well, I suppose it depends what you are looking for when

you want to eat.

Some people say that food in an expensive restaurant is always better than

food in a cheap restaurant – would you agree?

In my experience it’s not that simple. I’ve has some amazingly good food in cheap

restaurants and some disgustingly bad food in a supposedly classy and expensive

place. I think that’s why 'word of mouth' advertising is so important in the

restaurant business. You simply can’t guarantee that a place that looks expensive

and charges a lot of money will indeed offer a better dining experience than a

cheaper restaurant with fewer frills. The service can be just the same and the

quality of food the same too – it might only be the surroundings that are more

upmarket in reality.

⮚ Analysis

Questions 1-5 deal with everyday or current topics and are therefore quite
straightforward.
This IELTS candidate scores highly by:
● Using fluency expressions to sound natural: well; oh; I’m afraid; to be honest;
actually.
● Using substitution or ellipsis to avoid ‘parroting’ the question: I don’t; yes
there is; all kinds.
● Using the present simple tense to talk about regular actions: get; use; spend.

● Using the present progressive tense to talk about a current action: I’m studying.

● Comparing a present situation with a past situation: used to spend.

● Expanding answers by giving reasons and examples, and by making

concessions.

VOCABULARIES
● Facilities (n) /fəˈsɪləti/: [plural] buildings, services, equipment, etc. that are

provided for a particular purpose: cơ sở vật chất

Eg:
- sports/leisure facilities
- shopping/banking/cooking facilities
Page 59 | 121
- All rooms have private facilities (= a private bathroom).

● Fiction (n) /ˈfɪkʃn/: [uncountable] a type of literature that describes imaginary

people and events, not real ones: điều tưởng tượng; hư cấu39
Eg: a work of popular fictionhistorical/romantic fiction

� Opposite: non-fiction

PART 2 40

[Like many questions in IELTS Speaking Part 2, this one deals with an event or
action in the past. There is, however, a switch to the present when the candidate is
required to reflect on the decision].

A really important decision I’ve made recently is to study abroad. No-one from my

family has ever had the chance to do this before, and my parents were actually

hoping I’d start working for the family textile business. I think it’s too soon to join

the business though. I really want to study marketing – especially e-marketing – so

I can contribute more to my parent’s firm in the future. If I study e-marketing in

the UK, I can learn how to use the internet to sell our clothes all over the world. As

for whether it was the right decision, I’m pretty confident it was and I can’t change

my mind now anyway because my parents have borrowed money from my uncle

to pay for my tuition. I really can’t wait to come back with new ideas that will help
Page 61 | 121
expand our business. All I need now is to get a good score in IELTS. So, anyway,

that’s an important decision in my life.

⮚ This IELTS candidate scores highly by:

● Getting straight to the point and saying what the decision was in the very first
sentence
● Paraphrasing the topic: A really important decision

● Using a range of tenses – past simple, present simple and present perfect – with
great accuracy
● Using a wide range of grammatical forms such as a conditional sentence (If
I…) and a cleft sentence (All I need now is…)
● Answering all parts of the question

● Signalling one part of the question: As for whether it was the right decision…

● Avoiding over-formality and using expressions such as actually and pretty that
are appropriate to conversational style
● Providing a summarising sentence to wrap up the response

VOCABULARIES 41
● E-marketing (n) the practice of marketing by means of the Internet: tiếp thị nhờ

Internet

● Textile (n) /ˈtekstaɪl/: [countable] any type of cloth made by weaving or knitting:

vải dệt
Eg: a factory producing a range of textiles

PART 3 42
Is it better to make important life decisions on your own or is it better to consult

other people?

There are good reasons for both, I suppose. Ultimately, it’s your life so I suppose you

should make the decisions. On the other hand, any decisions you make can affect

other people so it seems only right to discuss things with others first. Like many

philosophical questions, there’s no simple answer, I’m afraid.

Do you think good decision-making can be taught?

Well, if you go to a bookstore you’ll see lots of self-help books that claim to teach

decision-making. I’m not sure any of them are effective though. I suppose it depends

on the type of decision you mean. If it’s a business strategy, then I’m sure some

decisions are better than others and business schools teach this. But if it’s a moral

issue then I’m not sure anyone can claim to know the right decision, so how could

anyone teach it?

[This is a much trickier question because the words ‘work or study’ in the first

sentence may lead some IELTS candidates to speak about either of those topics. In

fact, you should speak about some kind or leisure activity or other form of relaxation

that helps you forget about work or study]

OK, I’d like to talk about horse-riding. I’m actually the joint owner of a horse with

two of my friends and we take turns looking after him, cleaning out the stable and so

on. I don’t have a part-time job so I spend most of my weekends at the stable. Taking

care of a horse is quite a dirty business so it’s obviously very different from studying

at college. That means I can forget about my classes during the week when I’m at the

stable on the weekend. There’s quite a large field next to the stable and I just get a

wonderful sense of freedom when I’m riding around on my horse. College seems a

million miles away! Do I think other people would enjoy horse-riding? Yes,

absolutely. I think everyone should give it a try.

…………………………………………………………………………………………

Page 69 | 121

⮚ This IELTS candidate scores highly by:

● Showing a clear understanding of the question
● Getting straight to the point by mentioning the activity in the first sentence
● Using present simple verbs throughout to show that this is a regular activity
● Sticking to the question even though the topic might be a very enjoyable one to
speak about
● Showing awareness of hyperbole (a million miles), phrasal verbs (give it a try) and
other forms common to spoken English

PART 3 48
Is watching TV a good way of forgetting about work or study?

Absolutely, yes. These days there’s so much choice available that we can completely

immerse ourselves in entertainment. I mean, you can turn on a good drama or comedy

show and pretty soon you forget about everything that happened that day. I think that

without TV we’d all go a little crazy.

Should coworkers also spend their leisure time together?

I’m completely against this. The problem with people going out together after work is

that they just gossip about certain people in the office or factory, and this can hardly

be a good thing for the company, can it? Another thing is that there’s always the risk

that you will say something you regret after a few drinks and then you have to face

your colleagues again the next day. So, in short, I would definitely advise people to

think twice about socialising with colleagues.

1. Which musical instrument do you like listening to most? (Why?)
My favourite musical instrument to listen to is the guitar. I like the fact that there are
different types of guitar, like classical, acoustic and electric. I love the variety of
sounds a guitar can make.
…………………………………………………………………………………………

3. Do you think children should learn to play an instrument at school?

Yes, I think it's a great skill and it's really enjoyable to be able to play a musical
instrument. All children should be given this opportunity.

…………………………………………………………………………………………

4. How easy would it be to learn to play an instrument without a teacher?

It would probably be more difficult without a teacher. You need someone to show you
what to do and correct your mistakes. You need a lot of discipline to teach yourself.

VOCABULARIES
● Acoustic (a) /əˈkuːstɪk/: [usually before noun] (of a musical instrument or
performance) designed to make natural sound, not sound produced by electrical

Eg: The microphone converts acoustic waves to electrical signals fortransmission.
● Electric (a) /ɪˈlektrɪk/: [usually before noun] connected with electricity; using,
produced by or producing electricity: chạy bằng điện
Eg:

● Discipline (n) /ˈdɪsəplɪn/: uncountable] the ability to control your behaviour or the
way you live, work, etc: sự rèn luyện về tinh thần và tính cách để tạo sự tự chủ
Eg:

PART 2
Describe a language you would like to learn.
You should say:
– What the language is
– Where it is spoken
– Why you are interested in this language
And say if you think you will ever actually have the chance to learn it.
[One problem IELTS candidates have with hypothetical questions such as this one is
that they fail to recognise them as hypothetical. Since candidates are already learning
English, they should talk about another language that is neither English nor their first
language. This can be realistic (e.g. Spanish) or unrealistic (e.g. Ancient Greek). It
doesn’t matter as long as the language is not one you are currently learning].

Let me tell you about a language I’ve always wanted to learn, which is Russian. It’s

spoken in Russia, obviously, but also in many other countries which have been

influenced by Russia including places like Mongolia and Kazakhstan. The reason I

would like to learn Russian is that the energy industry is huge and there are lots of

jobs. A lot of my country’s oil and gas comes from Russia so it’s really useful to be

able to speak that language if you want to work in the energy field. And I know that a

lot of Russians can’t speak English very well so there’s another reason to learn their

language. The problem is I’m already in my thirties and I’ve spent more than ten years

learning English. I don’t know if I would ever be able to study Russian because it uses

a completely different alphabet and sounds really difficult. But it would be really nice

to have the chance to learn it. 52

language; their language; it

● Giving more than one reason

● Returning to the main point of the question in the final sentence

These three sample answers show that there are certain techniques that can be

applied regardless of the topic in IELTS Speaking, Part 2. Perfecting a system

for answering all parts of the question in a very short space of time is key.

There are also factors such as pronunciation (not mentioned here) as well as

nonverbal communication which, although not included in the scoring criteria

for IELTS Speaking, can certainly influence an examiner’s judgement of your

ability. 53

PART 3 54

Do you agree that English should be the main language of international

exchange? That’s a very interesting question. I’ve never really thought about it

before, actually. We all just assume that it should be English, don’t we? But what

other languages could we use? I suppose Chinese is becoming quite an important

language, but the pronunciation is too difficult for most people. English is already the

main language of universities and business, so maybe it should stay that way.

What are the difficulties in creating a universal language?

Do you mean inventing a completely new language? Yes? Well, I mean, er, it’s never

been done before, has it? There was Latin, of course, which was used by people all

over Europe, but I’m not sure if it was really created for that purpose. Actually, I think

there used to be a universal language about a hundred years ago. What was it called

again, Esperanto? But that disappeared quite quickly. Er, what I’m trying to say is, I

don’t think anyone has ever succeeded in creating a universal language, so I doubt if it

will ever be possible in the future.

● Indicating an opinion at the end of each answer, even when uncertain at the
beginning. 55
These sample answers show that there at least three different ways of getting a
good score in IELTS Speaking, Part 3. How you answer will depend on various
factors including the nature or difficulty of the question, your own personality,
and your level of interest in and knowledge of the question topic.
There are also factors such as pronunciation (not mentioned here) as well as
nonverbal communication which, although not included in the scoring criteria
for IELTS Speaking, can certainly influence an examiner’s judgement of your
ability.

I live in a semi-detached house with three bedrooms in a suburb of Manchester. I've

lived there for just over a year.

…………………………………………………………………………………………

2. Which is your favourite room in your home? Why?

I don't really have a favourite room. But if I had to choose, I'd say the living room

because that's where I go to sit and relax.

…………………………………………………………………………………………

3. Would you change anything about your home? Why / why not?

Yes, I've been meaning to redecorate it since I moved in last year. It needs a new

kitchen, so that's what I'd change first.

4. Would you like to move to a different home in the future?

Yes, I'd definitely move again at some point if I could afford to. I'd like to live in the

countryside, or maybe in a different city or country.

⮚ Interesting alternatives.

The alternatives on the right are a bit less common, and might impress the

examiner if you used them.

1. with three bedrooms = a three-bedroomed house

2. in a suburb of Manchester = on the outskirts of Manchester

3. relax = unwind, put my feet up, wind down

4. it needs a new kitchen = it could do with a new kitchen

Page 84 | 121
⮚ Note:

"could do with" is an informal way of saying "need" e.g. I could do with a drink, I

could do with some help, I could do with another few days to finish this project.

and India. There are many teams joining the game. About 6 years ago I started hating

this game but with the introduction of the 20-over match my interest in the game

developed more and I started loving it.

I spend every Saturday playing this game with my friends and we have a very good

time together. The exciting part is that I am going to play cricket two times this week.

I am going to play it two times because one of my cousins has invited me to come

over to his house to play the game. I have been doing the preparation from the last 10

days in order to play the match well. I am a good bowler, but I cannot play well with

the bat. I think the primary reason is that I want to hit each ball for six and this gets

me out, each time I come on to the crease.

I feel very good after playing the game. It makes me energetic and also makes me

happy. This game is a good way to socialize with my friends and the achievement of

hitting a six is just awesome. I think that every person in this world should play some

kind of sport because it a very good form of exercise.

PART 3
1. Why do you think sport is important?

I think sport is important for different reasons. For me, doing a sport is about having

fun. When I play football, for example, I forget about everything else and just enjoy

Page 88 | 121
myself. Also, doing a sport helps you to keep fit and healthy, and it's a good way to

socialise and make friends. 60

…………………………………………………………………………………………

2. Do you think famous sportspeople are good role models for children?

I think that sportspeople should be good role models. Children look up to their

favourite football players, like David Beckham for example, so I think that these

people have an enormous responsibility. They should try to be a good influence,

and behave in the right way.

3. Do you agree that sports stars earn too much money?

In my opinion, it's fair that the best sportspeople earn a lot of money. Being a top

sportsperson requires hours of practice, and there are millions of sports fans who are

willing to pay to see them play. If we don't want sportspeople to earn so much money,

we shouldn't go to watch them.

PART 2
A country you would like to visit
Describe a country you would like to visit
You should say
what the country is
when you would go there
what you would do there
And explain why you would like to visit it 64
I think the country I would like to visit most is China. It’s somewhere that I’ve always
been fascinated by and would love to go and see one day.
I’m not entirely sure what the climate is like in China. I guess because it is such a vast
country that the weather varies quite a lot depending on where you are. I do know that
some areas such as Hong Kong and Beijing can get uncomfortably hot and humid in
the summer and so I suppose the best time to travel may be in the spring or autumn
when it’s slightly cooler. The one time I wouldn’t want to go would be in the winter
because the days are shorter then and you get less chance to see everything you want
to
What would I do there? Well, I’d try and see the sights. Normally I’m quite an
adventurous traveller and I don’t like being part of tour group. But if I did ever go to
China I would probably do it as part of a package tour because that way I would get to
visit all the major destinations. You can’t really go there and not see the Great Wall

64
http://www.dcielts.com/describe-a-country-you-would-like-to-visit/
Page 95 | 121
and the Forbidden Palace. And I think that if I went by myself there would be all sorts
of problems with the language.
It’s hard to explain why China is my dream destination. It’s just a place that I long to
visit. It may be that it’s so exotic – or different – at any rate I’m sure that it would be a
real experience.

kích thước, lượng…)

PART 3 66
What do you think people can learn from travelling to other countries? Why?
The best thing is the experience of dealing with everything, from the planning, the

66
http://ieltsspeakingquestions.blogspot.com/2014/03/cambridge-ielts-9-speaking-test-3-part-3-questions-
and-sample-answers.html
Page 98 | 121
actual travel and then dealing with other people in a different country. It's life
experience and appreciating how people do things in other parts of the world is very
important, especially in today's global marketplace. The more varied your experience
is, the better it is for you as an individual. That's why language skills can be so
important too. Traveling to other countries teaches you to plan, prepare, adapt and
think on your feet as well as solve problems on your own sometimes. It makes you
more independent and resourceful. But most importantly it gives you a better
understanding of the world you live in.
…………………………………………………………………………………………

…………………………………………………………………………………………

Can travel make a positive difference to the economy of a country? How?

Absolutely, there are many countries which rely on travel for tourism or business. In
fact, in some countries tourism is the main industry, so without international travel
their economies would probably be in big problems. It's not just the travel, it's the

Page 99 | 121
whole range of services and jobs which support the travel such as transport,
accommodation, restaurants and so on.

…………………………………………………………………………………………

Do you think a society can benefit if its members have experience of travelling to
other countries? In what ways?
Yes, because when people travel they see other things which maybe aren't normal in
their own country and they maybe like them or don't like them, so they can either
appreciate their own country more or perhaps try to improve it by introducing new
ideas or ways of doing things which they have seen in other places.
All it takes is for someone to see something they like and then copy the idea in their
own country, it might be as simple as a style of cafe or bar, or as complex as a
transport system, but without having travelled and seen something different it
probably would never have happened.

PART 2 70

Describe a place that you would like to travel to.

You should say:

70
http://www.dcielts.com/talk-about-a-place-to-travel/
Page 105 | 121
● where you would like to go

● how you would go there

● who you would go with

and explain why you would like to go to this place.

I’m going to tell you about why I’d like to visit New Orleans – that’s my dream
holiday destination. I’ve travelled quite a lot and visited many countries but I’ve never
been to the States and I really do want to go there one day.

I’m not quite sure how I would go there. I guess I’d have to fly but it’s also possible I
suppose that I might do a grand tour of the US. Fly into one of the major cities like LA
or New York and cross the country on the Greyhound buses and see something of the
interior. I’ve always thought that travelling by coach is a more interesting way to
travel as you get to see so much more and don’t spend all your time in city centres and
airports. I guess that’s particularly true in the States with their great Highway system –
route 66 and all that.

I’d probably choose to travel by myself. I’m a very bad tourist and don’t enjoy being
in groups at all. I much prefer to do my own thing and get off the beaten track and
just wander around getting the feel for the place I’m in. I do enjoy museums and so
forth but I think that you can learn as much by sitting in a cafe watching the world go
by. It’s easier to do that on your own I think.

Why New Orleans? Well, I’m a huge fan of jazz and that’s where it all started and I’d
love to visit some of the old bars where the greats used to play. I also understand that
it’s a really lively place with a very active street culture and those are the sorts of
places I like to go. The only downside I suppose is that it was devastated of course by
Hurricane Katrina and I know it’s still suffering.

PART 3 72

Why do people need to travel every day?

Well, I suppose the main reasons are to go to work, school or university so they can
attend their jobs, classes or whatever they need to do. They may need to simply travel
to their office and then stay there all day, or maybe they need to travel as part of their
work, visiting customers or clients or fly to another city for an important meeting.

…………………………………………………………………………………………

What problems can people have when they are on their daily journey to work or
school for example? Why is this?

http://www.academia.edu/8350341/TEST_1IELTS_9_IELTS_Speaking_Test_Part_1_questions_about_games
Page 109 | 121
I suppose one of the most common ones would be traffic jams, which can sometimes
be very bad at peak hours when everybody is trying to travel at the same time. Or
maybe they miss the bus or train because they were a little late - and then have to wait
for the next bus or train but arrive late at work or wherever they needed to go. Then of
course they could be involved in a traffic accident, especially if they're driving, and
that can cause a lot of problems for them.

…………………………………………………………………………………………

Some people say that daily journeys like these will not be so common in the
future. Do you agree or disagree? Why?
Page 110 | 121
That's probably true, I mean more and more people are working from home now or
even working on projects in different countries using technology and so they don't
need to physically travel to an office to do their work. It would certainly make traffic
less of a problem in big cities if more people could do that. Another factor which
could reduce the necessity for these daily trips is the fact that many universities are
now offering their courses online so students don't have to travel to the campus every
day... and it's highly probable that more work will be done in the future without the
need for employees to be sitting in a company office.
