Question 2: Is that a big city or a small place?
→ Answer: My hometown isn’t a major city in China but it’s not small either. As far as I know, it has a population of 5 million people. So the urban area is always crowded with people. It’s also the largest city of the province by land area.

Question 1: What’s the origin of your name?
→ Answer: My name is named after a famous figure who my parents really admire and they really hope that I can turn out to be exactly like her in the future. So yeah, I guess both of them agreed upon the name.
Question 2: Does your name have any special meaning?
→ Answer: Most Vietnamese names do, I suppose, and mine is not an exception. My name can be interpreted as a river in Autumn. In my country, anything related to Autumn is considered beautiful and calm, since this season is the most comfortable one out of the four. So, I assume my parents did have somewhat an expectation when they named me that.
Question 3: What do your friends call you?
→ Answer: It really depends. Most of my close friends prefer to call me by my nickname, “Pup”. Meanwhile, others just use my first name.
Question 1: What kind of accommodation do you live in?
→ Answer: I have been living in a house with my family, and I think if I can move out and start making a living on my own, I would try my best to have an independent place where I can plan and design a house layout that suits myself since sharing a room or a flat with strangers sounds troublesome to me.
Question 2: How long have you lived there?
→ Answer: Although during my childhood my family had to move a lot, I’ve lived in the most recent house for almost ten years. Compared to the old houses, I think this house has been the best so far.
Question 3: What do you usually do in your house?
→ Answer: Well, definitely I’ll spend some me-time there. I study, I chill out by reading, drawing, and dancing all by myself. Sometimes I also invite one or two friends to spend time with. We’ll watch some movies together and tell each other endless stories.
Question 4: Which part of your home do you like the most?
→ Answer: It’s the dining room where my family spends our time together. Not only lunch or dinner but all our family reunions take place in the dining room where we can enjoy a harmonious atmosphere. We always try to keep the family dinner as something we cannot go a day without since for us it’s the family bonding that lies behind it.
Từ vựng cần lưu ý:

Question 2: Do you think being patient is an important part of being polite?
→ Answer: Yes, I think patience is an indicator of politeness. A polite person would never chew someone out for keeping them waiting. If there’s a good excuse for being late, a polite person would be willing to overlook such minor mistakes.
Question 3: Have you ever lost your patience?
→ Answer: Well, yeah, without a doubt, there have been times when I lost my cool. For example, there was this one time, when I had to wait forever to be seated at a popular restaurant. Then someone suddenly cut in line and that really ticked me off.
Question 4: Were you patient when you were young?
→ Answer: I don’t really know, since I don’t have many childhood memories. It’s pretty common, however, for kids to easily lose patience as they don’t know how to keep their emotions in check. There may have been times I was patient, and times I was not.

IELTS Speaking part 1 topics and answers
Question 1: What kinds of food do you particularly like?
→ Answer: I’d have to say Asian cuisine is my favorite. I am a huge fan of the bold flavors and spices used in Korean and Vietnamese dishes. Something I often daydream about eating is X, which is a tip-smacking noodle soup dish served with a crab broth. It’s every bit as delicious as it sounds.
Question 2: Is there any food you don’t like?
→ Answer: It’s true that there are a few things that kind of put me off. For example, I cannot stand Y, which is essentially a shrimp paste. A lot of people like it, though, but I think it smells awful. Definitely not my cup of tea.
Question 3: What kinds of food are most popular in your country?
→ Answer: I think street food is a staple around here. You can find bustling food stalls all around our nation, and they are my go-to's for a cheap and cheerful meal. I mean gourmet restaurants are nice and all, but street food is what our country is all about.
Question 4: Do you like cooking? (Why?/ Why not?)

Question 1: Do you do housework at home?
Answer: Yes, I do! Even though I could afford domestic help, I prefer to do it on my own. I live by myself in a small, studio apartment so it’s easy enough. Actually, I find housework to be relaxing. When I feel stressed, I like the mindless activity (something which doesn’t require hard thinking) of scrubbing the shower, floors, and kitchen cabinets. I really hate sweeping though! I always miss too many spots.
Question 2: What housework do you usually do?
→ Answer: All of them! I do dishes, dusting, sweeping, mopping, and scrubbing the kitchen and bathroom. I usually do a deep clean every two weeks, but keep tidying up during the week. I have a pet peeve of having a clean bathroom, so I generally do that about once a week.
Question 3: Do you like doing housework?
→ Answer: I like most chores. I’m a neat freak, and I just love seeing my entire house spic and span. The feeling of a clean home makes all that hard work super satisfying!
Question 4: Did you do housework when you were a child?
→ Answer: Yes, my parents enforced this. They had a rotation chore assignment chart for the 4 of us children every week. We would earn $5 a week for completing them. If we acted up, extra chores would be put on (assigned to) us. If we had a special accomplishment, like straight A’s, we would be off chores for a week.

Pet peeve: Điều gây phiền lòng
Acted up: Cư xử không đúng
Put on: Được giao cho
Spoiled: Hư hỏng

Question 1: Do you like traveling?
→ Answer: Not really, to be honest. I’m a creature of habit (someone who doesn’t like changes to routine), so I’m usually not keen to change my daily routine. When I do mix it up, it often makes me feel anxious and disoriented (not a clear mind). Furthermore, I have a fear or airplanes and getting carsick, so traveling just isn’t for me.
Question 2: Do you often travel by air?
→ Answer: Not at all! I try to avoid it at all costs (very seriously). If I must travel, I will take some motion sickness (getting sick from any kind of transportation) medicine and go by car or train. I was once on an airplane on my honeymoon that came very near to crashing, so my phobia (strong fear) stems from (comes from. Stem is the part where the flower grows) this.
Question 3: How long was the longest trip you took?
→ Answer: I once had to go on business to the Philippines. It was a 24 hour flight! It was a nightmare (we saw this when something is very terrible). On top of this, I was seated next to a child who was relentlessly (not stopping) crying during the entire journey.
Question 4: Which country would you like to travel to in the future?
→ Answer: I’m dying to (I really want to) go to Egypt. I’ve always dreamt of going there since I was a child, actually. I’m really fascinated by their ancient culture. I would be in awe of (amazed by) the Grand Pyramids I’m sure. Unfortunately, since I despise (hate) flying, I don’t think I’ll ever get there.

Creature of habit: Người không thích thay đổi thói quen
Disoriented: Đầu óc không minh mẫn
At all costs: Rất nghiêm túc
Nightmare: Ác mộng

Sample IELTS Speaking part 1 chủ đề Sport (Thể Thao)
Question 1: Do you play any sports?
→ Answer: Not anymore. I was an avid swimmer as a child, but I gave that up after high school, as it was quite time-consuming. Nowadays, I enjoy going to the gym, running around the lake by my house, and going on mountain treks. I’m not sure if these are considered sports, but I’m really into physical activity.
Question 2: Which is the most popular sport in your country?
→ Answer: Soccer of course! As soccer is the sport of the world, that would be number one. People go wild when our team wins a game- they even drive around waving flags, blocking off the streets! Apart from this, many people enjoy playing tennis and doing martial arts.
Question 3: Who is your favorite sports star?
→ Answer: As I’m not a big sports fan, I don’t really have one. However, I think I may like Cristiano Ronaldo. Although I don’t know anything about him or his athletic abilities, I think I’ve always been drawn to him because of his looks.
Question 4: What kinds of sports would you like to try in the future?
→ Answer: I’m really intrigued by soccer. I think it’s something that can really connect people, as well as is good cardiovascular and coordination activity. Actually, I wish I had gotten into it as a child. I think it would be interesting to join a league in my city.
