1. Cần chuẩn bị gì cho topic Describe a person?

Đối với đề bài Describe a person trong IELTS Speaking, hầu hết các đề bài sẽ yêu cầu miêu tả 1 người trong 1 trường hợp cụ thể chứ không chỉ là mô tả 1 người chung chung.

Ví dụ:

• Describe a person who you really admire.
• Describe a person you know who is beautiful or handsome.
• Describe a family member who is close to you.
• Describe a person you know...
• Describe a person you like...

Để có thể làm tốt các đề bài về topic People thì bạn sẽ cần có được từ vựng cơ bản để miêu tả 1 người. Vì cho dù bất kì để bài miêu tả nào cho bất kì ai, bạn cũng sẽ cần miêu tả ngoại hình, miêu ta tính cách của họ. Lúc này thì bộ 300 từ vựng miêu tả ngoại hình và bộ từ vựng miêu tả tính cách trong tiếng Anh mà IELTS LangGo đã tổng hợp sẽ giúp bạn rất nhiều.

Tuy nhiên, việc sắp xếp ý và lựa chọn trọng tâm cho bài nói cũng rất quan tọng. Với các đề bài như "Describe a person who you really admire" thì bạn nên đặt trọng tâm vào tính cách, hành động hoặc các trường hợp cụ thể đã xảy ra mà khiến bạn "admire" - ngưỡng mộ họ. Ngược lại với đề bài "Describe a person you know who is beautiful or handsome" thì việc tập trung vào ngoại hình là điểu hiển nhiên, tính cách có thể là ý bổ sung để khiến họ đẹp hơn trong mắt bạn chẳng hạn.

Tổng kết lại là với đề bài dạng "Describe a person" thì ngoài việc trình bày đôi nét về ngoại hình, người nói có thể tiếp cận những ý về tích cách, công việc của đối tượng để bài nói của mình trở nên ý nghĩa hơn.

I would be most interested in meeting Leonardo Dicaprio who is not only a famous actor but is an outspoken environmentalist. I am a Hollywood movie fan and have watched all his movies. He has won many awards including Academy and the Golden Globes as lead actor in many successful movies including Titanic, the Aviator and Blood Diamonds.

Dicaprio is also identified as one of the most active celebrities in the climate change movement and has established a foundation promoting environmental awareness. He has been an active supporter of numerous environmental organizations and sat on the board of the World Wildlife Fund,, and THE International Fund for Animal Welfare. He has also met with world leaders including President Clinton and Pope Frances. Although many have been critical for his environmental impact of his private jet and yacht, he has electric cars and a solar-powered home.

He is newsworthy due to his high recognition, environment fund raising and opinions. DiCaprio's personal life is the subject of widespread media attention. He rarely gives interviews and is reluctant to discuss his private life. I think he is a fascinating individual and I would love to meet and discuss his movie career and his accomplishments.

I enjoyed my time in high school even though studies were difficult and we were saddled with lots of homework. I would make my way to school and loved hanging out with my friends before and after class. However one of the most interesting and dynamic individuals was my history teacher in high school. He was our modern history teacher and having lived through a lot of the international and domestic events in his lifetime he shared a lot of the stories and experiences.

One of the main things that has stuck in my mind was his assignment that we should read the news every day and be prepared to discuss it in class the next morning. His motto was "today's news is tomorrows history". He would listen to our descriptions and interpretations of the news articles and then provide his take on the articles.

This not only made history interesting but also encouraged us to keep up to date on current affairs. Allowing everyone to participate in discussions helped boost my self-confidence to speak in front of the class. I am not too stressed about public speaking and expressing my opinions. Today I still follow his teachings and read the news every day and on occasion I will discuss the news with friends and colleges and exchange opinions.

Of course, when I was young, I lived with my parents and spent my most of my time with them. However, when I met my cousin, Chan, at a family gathering, we became best friends very quickly. Chan was the son of my father's sister and my aunt and uncle lived in a nearby village so Chan and I did not attend the same elementary school. We did however keep in contract by texting and talking on Wechat and I was always excited to meet up with him at family get-togethers and parties.

As my village was small, it didn't have a secondary school and so we ended up attending the same high school. We were inseparable, so much so that many people thought we were brothers. I would bicycle five kilometers to school and we would meet up before class and hang out talking about friends and family.

After classes we would play football on the school playground where we became quite skilled, competitive and athletic. One day some older students were hanging out and watching us play. They suggested we try out for the school football team. Being younger than the other team players, I didn't we would make the team however the coach did invite us to play. We both made the team and the following years were starters. I was so proud of our red and gold jerseys and enjoyed the team spirit and comradeship. Chan and I still hang out and chill on a regular basis and stay in touch with many players.
