Question 2: Is that a big city or a small place?

2.4. Topic 4: Names

Question 1: What’s the origin of your name?

Question 2: Does your name have any special meaning?

In my country, anything related to Autumn is considered beautiful and calm, since this season is the most comfortable one out of the four.

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: 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.

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?

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 lip-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?)

→ Answer: Actually, I’d like to think that cooking is my forte. I developed a passion for culinary arts when I first watched the cooking show Masterchef. Since then, I have learned a lot of recipes and I can easily whip up a good dinner.

2.8. Topic 8: Housework

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 dirty 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.

Từ vựng cần lưu ý:

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

2.9. Topic 9: Travel

Question 1: Do you like traveling?

→ Answer: Not really, to be honest. I'm a creature of habit, 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. Furthermore, I have a fear of 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. If I must travel, I will take some motion sickness 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 stems from 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 long-haul flight with a layover, taking almost a full day door to door! It was a nightmare. On top of this, I was seated next to a child who was relentlessly crying during the entire journey.

Question 4: Which country would you like to travel to in the future?

→ Answer: I'm dying 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 the Grand Pyramids, I'm sure. Unfortunately, since I despise flying, I don't think I'll ever get there.

2.10. Topic 10: Sport

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.

Question 1: What hobbies or interests do you have?

Question 2: How did you become interested in this hobby?

→ Answer: It actually started by accident. A friend of mine lent me an old camera a few years ago, and I just fell in love with it from the first shot. I've been hooked ever since and even started following a few photography accounts online for inspiration.

Question 3: Do you prefer to do your hobby alone or with other people?

→ Answer: I'd say a bit of both, but mostly alone. When I'm on my own, I can take my time and really focus on getting the shot right without feeling rushed. That said, I do enjoy joining a local photography group once in a while to swap tips with other enthusiasts.

Question 4: Why do you think so many people have hobbies?

→ Answer: I think it's mainly because a hobby gives people something to look forward to outside of work or study. It's a healthy outlet for stress, and it also gives you a sense of accomplishment that's separate from your job.

Từ vựng cần lưu ý:

To be hooked on something: Bị nghiện, say mê cái gì đó
To unwind: Thư giãn, giải tỏa căng thẳng
Enthusiast: Người đam mê

Question 1: Do you have a large family or a small family?

→ Answer: I'd say my family is fairly small. There are just four of us — my parents, my younger sister, and me. Even though we're not a big family, we're a really close-knit one and we try to have dinner together every night.

Question 2: What do you usually do together as a family?

→ Answer: On weekends, we usually cook a big meal together and just catch up on each other's week. Occasionally, we also go on short trips out of the city, which I think really helps us bond, especially since everyone's so busy on weekdays.

Question 3: Do you have a lot of friends?

→ Answer: Not a huge number, but I have a small circle of close friends that I've known since university. I've always preferred quality over quantity when it comes to friendships, so I'd rather have a few people I can really rely on.

Question 4: What makes someone a good friend, in your opinion?

→ Answer: For me, honesty is the most important thing. A good friend should be someone who tells you the truth even when it's not what you want to hear, but does it in a caring way. Being a good listener matters a lot too.

To catch up (on something): Cập nhật, trò chuyện bù

Question 2: What's your favorite kind of weather?

→ Answer: I'm a huge fan of autumn weather to be honest. It's neither too hot nor too cold, the sky is usually clear, and there's a nice cool breeze in the air. It just puts me in a good mood.

Question 3: Does the weather affect your mood?

→ Answer: Definitely. On sunny days I feel a lot more energetic and motivated to get things done. But when it's gloomy and rainy outside, I tend to feel a bit sluggish and just want to stay in bed.

Question 4: Has the weather in your country changed much over the years?

→ Answer: I'd say so, yes. Summers seem to be getting hotter and more unpredictable than when I was a kid, which a lot of people put down to climate change. It's something that worries me a little, to be honest.

Question 4: Do you think music is important in people's lives?

Question 2: What's your favorite part of the day?

Question 2: Do you think technology has made life easier or more complicated?

3. Cách trả lời các chủ đề IELTS Speaking Part 1 hiệu quả

Biết trước các chủ đề IELTS Speaking Part 1 sẽ giúp bạn bớt bối rối khi vào phòng thi. Tuy nhiên, quan trọng hơn là biết cách phát triển câu trả lời sao cho tự nhiên và đủ ý. Bạn có thể tham khảo một số cách sau:

Trả lời thẳng vào câu hỏi: Hãy đưa ra câu trả lời trực tiếp trước, sau đó mới giải thích hoặc bổ sung thêm thông tin nếu cần.
Giải thích thêm bằng lý do hoặc ví dụ: Thay vì chỉ trả lời “Yes” hoặc “No”, bạn có thể thêm một lý do hoặc ví dụ ngắn để câu trả lời tự nhiên và đầy đủ hơn. Thông thường, 2-4 câu cho mỗi câu hỏi là vừa đủ.
Ưu tiên cách diễn đạt tự nhiên: Một vài cụm như actually, to be honest, well, I'd say có thể giúp câu trả lời gần với cách giao tiếp hằng ngày hơn. Tuy nhiên, bạn chỉ nên sử dụng khi phù hợp với ngữ cảnh.
Đa dạng từ vựng và cấu trúc: Hạn chế lặp lại những từ quá quen thuộc như good, like, very. Thay vào đó, hãy học thêm các cụm từ phù hợp với từng chủ đề và tập sử dụng chúng trong câu trả lời của mình.
Đừng cố học thuộc câu trả lời mẫu: Bạn có thể tham khảo cách triển khai và những cụm từ hay, nhưng nên biến tấu theo trải nghiệm thực tế của bản thân. Cách này sẽ giúp câu trả lời tự nhiên hơn và dễ ứng biến khi gặp câu hỏi khác.
Luyện phản xạ thường xuyên: Hãy thử chọn ngẫu nhiên một câu hỏi thuộc các chủ đề khác nhau và tập trả lời trong khoảng 3-5 giây. Luyện đều đặn sẽ giúp bạn bớt phụ thuộc vào việc chuẩn bị trước câu trả lời.
Chú ý phát âm và ngữ điệu: Khi nói, bạn hãy giữ tốc độ vừa phải, phát âm rõ và thay đổi ngữ điệu tự nhiên. Bạn không cần cố nói thật nhanh, chỉ cần thể hiện câu trả lời một cách rõ ràng và tự tin.
