Chia sẻ kinh nghiệm thi IELTS (phần 3)

Khiếp, nghe cái bài 2 của anh, viết ở tầm vĩ mô rùi, chắc anh trúng tủ hả? Em toàn viết luyên thuyên, từ academic ko nhiều, chắc ko mong điểm cao đc. Em chỉ viết 2 ý, 1 là: Các nước nên tập trung quan tâm đến hỗ trợ dân nước đó vì sống cùng 1 đất nước, họ sẽ hiểu đâu là nơi cần sự giúp đỡ nhất, từ đó dễ quản lý và sử dụng aid 1 cách có hiệu quả. 2 là: tuy nhiên, 1 số nước nghèo thì bản thân nó ko thể tự hỗ trợ mình ( em lấy ví dụ thời kỳ 1980-90 ở VN), sự trợ giúp từ các nước phát triển đến thế giới thứ 3 có ý nghĩa quan trọng. Thế thui. Nhưng em bị lỗi 1 câu nhắc đến Profit . Task 1 thì em viết cũng tạm, nhưng bị mắc 1 lỗi ngữ pháp là : majority of proportion thì em vứt hết of đi
Câu có European thì em nghĩ là Single ticket, nhưng nó bảo chỉ điền 1 từ thôi, chả hiểu đầu óc thế nào em điền Single chứ.
@ anh Lộc: sao lại điền North với South j hả anh? Cái map đó điền A, B,C ko chứ. Sao mà càng nghe càng thấy hốt hoảng thế này.

Hị hị, thế em viết cũng ổn rồi còn gì. Profit thì không lo đâu, vì nhiều tổ chúc nhân đạo hoạt động vẫn phải có return mà em. Anh cũng dùng từ non-profit hehe.

Sao càng bàn càng rối thế này. Bạn hongchuyen viết pro quá. mình viết chung chung thôi. Anh nhớ part 1 bài nghe có 1 chỗ điền chữ North mà. còn phần 3 hay 4 gì hình như có South. không biết đúng không. hay lại sai nữa đây

Theo em South là South của cái Shop hay cái gì đó trong bản đồ thôi. Chứ ko phải điền chữ South vào đâu.
Công nhận đề thi nghe chừng có vẻ dễ nhưng mà thấm thía vì chỉ cần sai một tí thôi là tèo. Em là em chắc chắn cái Internet là phải viết hoa chữ I đấy. Mid-term test là phải có gạch nối chứ không có thì thành ra 3 word mất rồi. Với lại cái câu số vạc nhiều nhất nữa, có bạn nào cùng quan điểm với mình là năm 2004 thì giơ tay đê cho t đỡ tủi thân

À, em nhớ rồi, nhưng em điền đấy là Northern
Topic này dạo này vắng nhỉ, thấy mỗi 3 anh em mình bàn bài, ngại ghê cơ

Thôi, đợi kq bằng niềm tin vậy.

Chuyên làm ơn cho mình hỏi. có câu nào có chữ Laptop không, và Internet Cafe thì thuộc Part mấy vậy. sao càng hỏi càng rung vậy nè

Hic, anh cứ vào google china search thì ra ngay mà. Bọn Trung Quốc nó bàn luận khiếp lắm. Nói chung là cũng nhiều người lựa chọn khác nhau.
Em chẳng có cái laptop nào cả.
Trong khi em chọn "souvenir" thì có người chọn là "toy".
Chúc anh và em cùng may mắn hi hi hi

You might find part 3 difficult but if you what the examiner is looking for it shouldn?Tt be so hard. He has to hear you use modal verbs and lots of other things, but let me give you an example of corrected work of a few students on 6 different questions. Topic: Transport
1. Will we find an alternative fuel for cars in the near future? Predict
Viet:
Well first I believe that we really should find something to replace fuel, as there are loads more cars now and I?Tm sure that fuel will run out sooner or later. By finding an alternative wê?Td reduce pollution. It could be that wê?Tll use milk or water. You never know what the future brings.
Quyen:
Well, I?Tm not sure about that but I guess we could find an alternative energy for cars or motorbikes in the next few years. It would be great as fuel is running out and so therê?Tll definitely not be enough for us and we might even have to walk and that?Td be really good as the air?Td become fresher. I hope scientists and engineers are working on finding some kind of liquid to replace petrol.
Chi:
If you ask me, with the advanced modern technology in many developed countries combined with smart scientists and engineers, I?Tm sure wê?Tll be able to find another type of fuel for cars, as well as other types of transports. For example, petrol could be replaced with oil or water to run engines.
Sach:
I believe that would be possible and it would be a very good thing to do, The reason why I think so is because fuel wê?Tve been using forever and we might run out of that natural resource. Therefore, I think it?Ts already happening that people are discovering or working on an alternative for fuel. I read on the newspaper that people are already studying on some kind of replacement for it. I?Tm not sure which natural resource it was though.
Thuy:
Let me think of how to put it.. I suppose that another energy which would replace fuels for vehicles will be found very soon. One reason why I say that is because I have read an article in an online newspaper which is about scientists are on the go of inventing some kind of new energy from the sunlight, or water and I hope it?Tll work out.
Ghetto queen/king:
Well, I guess an alternative petrol for motorbikes or cars or planes is quite ?oa must thing to dô? Soon, I can imagine wê?Tll run out of fuel and would have to walk or use the bicycle or only use public transport if wê?Tre lucky. So to find something to replace fuel would be amazing. I don?Tt know, we might not go to the petrol station anymore, but to the milk or water station in 20 years timê?
My:
Let me think for a second. I?Tm not sure about that but it?Tll probably discovered be sometime in the future. Maybe water or sunlight could replace it. The reason why I say that is because scientists have been working on it for so long. Though the problem with sunlight would be that in countries where therê?Ts absolutely no sunlight or let?Ts say in the winter, we wouldn?Tt be able to drive..
2. Do you think the public transport in your city is adequate?
Evaluate agree/disagree advantages/disadvantages
Viet:
I?Td say it?Ts inadequate as there are so many people in this city driving motorbikes and the traffic is so bad, especially during rush hour. I wish we had more public transports, as now we only have buses. It would be great to have a cham or an underground and if we had that we could reduce the time being stuck in traffic and the city would be cleaner.
Quyen:
I don?Tt?T think that we have a good public transport system. The buses, for example are always overcrowded. For me for instance to catch a bus or to get to the nearest bus station, cos I don?Tt?T live in the city center, I?Td have to walk for 1 km at least. I hope the government would take some measures to improve it. Simply put more bus stations in the suburbs for instance.
Chi:
I absolutely disagree that our public transport is adequate ?" actually it?Ts extremely inadequate. In particularly in the bigger cities, especially because of urbanization buses have become overcrowded. You could be waiting for the bus for an hour and then not able to get in. We basically need a metro or a cham or bigger streets!!! But a good thing about it is that it?Ts soo soo cheap ?" 3 thou per ride, that?Ts like 15 cents?
Sach:
Well, I absolutely disagree that it?Ts adequate. What I mean is that there are too many people and there aren?Tt enough public transports. So that?Ts the reason why we all have to take our motorbikes and that means traffic just gets worse. Though people would prefer to take the bus, especially elder ones, cos it?Ts safer and cheaper.
Thuy:
Oh no way, I totally can?Tt say that it?Ts adequate at all. There are several reasons, but the main reason is because there are too many traffic jams in the city. I used to only need 20 minutes to get to my office, which is 2 km from my house but now it takes double as long. We have to either make the streets bigger or have an underground to reduce the traffic and encourage people to use public transport, cos now buses are always packed.
Ghetto king/queen:
Well it?Ts not really good but it?Ts also really difficult to meet demand. I mean we are an over populated nation. Investing into a new under ground or cham or a sky train, which Thailand has, would be just incredibly expensive u know. So yes it?Ts not adequate, but then it?Ts also quite hard to make it good enough. We would have to make sure that wê?Td stop people from the country side coming in by for example creating jobs there, then maybe the cities wouldn?Tt be so full.
My:
It?Ts a really easy question to answer, because obviously on a daily basis we get evidence of how bad traffic is. In my point of view Hanoi needs more public transports ?" more buses a cham, a sky train for instance to solve this problem to meet demand u know. But mainly wê?Td have to stop people buying cars.
3. Do you think we should be concerned about pollution caused by cars and other vehicles? Speculate
Viet:
Yea definitely, because you see. We should understand how much pollution effects our health. What I want to say is that, you can get breathing problems or even lung cancer or asthma. So we should try to reduce it by any means.
Quyen:
I totally agree that we should be concerned about pollution in the cities. It?Ts not just a problem in Vietnam, but actually a global issue. Our environment is being damaged and our healths is effected ?" we don?Tt only have to face breathing difficulties but also the noice of the traffic and being stuck in traffic every single day.
Chi:
Surely we should do that. There are several reasons why but the main one is that pollution causes respiratory health problems like asthma. But more importantly the environment is being polluted and that is the main cause that lead to global warming now.
Sach:
In my point of view, that is a really serious problem in Hanoi, Hcmc or any other big international cities like Bangkok. So we should be concerned and we also should do something about it like trying to be environmentally friendly and use our bicycle or walk.
Thuy:
Let me see. I guess I don?Tt completely agree that we should be concerned. In fact, pollution from cars and other vehicles is a big deal. But actually factories release more CO2. So we should actually be more concerned about pollution created by manufacturers.
Ghetto king/queen:
I tend to disagree, but it?Ts a difficult question so I don?Tt know what to say really. But maybe I tend to disagree. The reason is that we don?Tt need to worry cos I think wê?Tll still live for a long time, but the next generation might have *****ffer from this issue a lot more than us, unless we can actually find a solution to reduce the air pollution.
My:
I tend to agree that we need t be concerned about the environmental issues like air pollution and noise pollution caused by cars or other vehicles. So, I suppose people now should be concerned about this because our environment is being destroyed and we should save our earth asap.
4. Should the government in your country build more roads in your area?
Evaluate a solution
Viet:
I totally believe that building more roads where I live would be great because the road system is so bad and we have difficulties getting around and so it?Td be appreciated if the government built or widen roads. It would be one solution to get rid of traffic jams.
Quyen:
Maybe that would be a way to solve the traffic problem. U know Hanoi is too crowded now and building more roads might reduce traffic jams and so people would need less time to get to work.
Chi:
I quite support this idea as building more roads in the city could decrease traffic jams but it has to be done in the right way. Well the truth is that I don?Tt think it would be a good solution actually. Maybe it?Td be better to built an under pass like the one we have on the Dai Co Viet- Le Duan intersection or a flyovers like they have in Bangkok. Or have a subway or sky train instead of making streets bigger, as so many people have lost their house cos of expanding roads.
Sach:
It?Ts an interesting possibility and I agree with that we need to widen or build more roads as it might help people travel easier due to the reduction of dense traffic. The reason why I think so is because there are a lot of cars nowadays and so we need bigger roads to accommodate with that. So one of the things to solve this problem is to built more wider roads.
Thuy:
I?Tm not sure because I?Tm not an expert when it comes to transport system. However I tend to rather agree than disagree . One thing that comes to my mind from my own experience is that I prefer to drive in a car than taking the train for long distance for instance so we need bigger roads so we wouldn?Tt be stuck. Though it?Ts a rather selfish idea.
Ghetto kind/queen:
Well, I suppose building more roads in Vietnam would be a terrific idea. More roads means more space and more space means less traffic and that means wê?Td be able to come more on time or wouldn?Tt have to rush so much. Also, tourists or investors would have a better impression of Vietnam.
My:
Obviously I have no choice but to agree that we do need more roads to minimize the traffic flow on the streets. You can not imagine or well you probably know how bad the traffic is. I mean when I was in high school it took me 5 minutes to get to school and now it takes 3 times longer and it?Ts just so annoying.

5. Will we able to go around the world in under twelve hours in the future? Predict
Quyen:
Well. Uhm, Let me think for a second but it?Ts really hard to say. But I?Tm sure but nothing?Ts impossible in our word nowadays. I mean we invented plans 100 years or so ago and before that we never thought it was going to be possible. With the high speed and advanced technology I suppose that one day wê?Tll manage to get that.
Chi:
I never thought about things like that but it sounds kind of impossible. Because now to fly to the states only it already takes a day or so so around the whole world in half a day might not be that realistic. And if it was possible it would be too expensive for us to afford and only rich people could or would need to take such a flight and it?Td be so bad for the environment too. I don?Tt know.
Ghetto queen/king:
I don?Tt know because it?Ts a hard question to answer. I guess wê?Td save a lot of time. But that would also mean that flying to HCMC would only take 10-20 minutes and that?Td be amazing. I?Tm sure therê?Td be a lot of demand for super fast flights and I don?Tt think people would mind paying a bit more for that.
My:
Maybe, well we might cos you never know. It would be unbelievable ?" I mean in 12 hours all around the world? Well let?Ts look at 100 200 years ago we never would have thought that wê?Td have planes so it?Ts quite possible to have this super fast jet.
6. Should governments completely ban motorized vehicles? Evaluate a solution
Quyen: Well it?Ts really hard to answer this question. On the one hand it would be good for the environment and people would instead use their bicycle or walk to work or school. On the other hand it?Td be very inconvenient for people whose work place or school is far away and also public transports will be extremely busy. Maybe it?Td be better if we limit it instead of completely banning it.
Chi: I?Tm not sure whether they should do it or not. Well everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Although motorbikes are bad for the environment we still need them to go around and to save time.
Sach: I absolutely agree. There are several reasons but the main reason is because there are just too many vehicles on the streets of Hanoi. It?Tll definitely reduce the traffic. Plus, the roads are too small to accommodate all those motorbikes. So if the government should totally ban them or at least limit them.
Ghetto king/queen: I don?Tt know, it?Ts a hard question to answer. I guess wê?Td have to use public transport. And the road?Td be less exciting and all.
My: Absolutely no. I think that the government should limit the motorbikes and not ban. People would still need their bikes but you could have something like one household can only have one motorbike instead of 5.
7. Will we be able to travel to other planets on holidays at some time in the future? Predict
Viet: It could be possible and it would be amazing. I?Td love to try some alien dishes. Though, if you think about it, most of us haven?Tt even managed to travel in our own world so to go to another planet would first of all be too expensive and it?Td take ages.
Quyen: I have no club. Let me think for a second. I suppose tat one day I could travel to other planets like mars or the moon, and it would be so great. I?Td really love it and I hope that?Td be possible one day.
Ghetto king/queen: Oh wow, that would be a great idea. I wish wê?Tll be able to travel to another planet in the future cos the feeling of discovering another planet by the sound of it sounds so exciting. Plus it?Td be the holiday you?Td never forget. You could go to the moon, a planet that you look at almost every day.
My: It sounds crazy and weird. I have no clue how to answer this question, but I suppose wê?Td probably be able to travel to another planet in a 100 years or so. It?Td be an unforgettable experience. But of course it?Td also depend on our holiday budget. You would need to be a billionaire to be able to afford a ticket to Mars or Pluto.
hope it helps...

You might find part 3 difficult but if you what the examiner is looking for it shouldn?Tt be so hard. He has to hear you use modal verbs and lots of other things, but let me give you an example of corrected work of a few students on 6 different questions. Topic: Transport
Internet café can be at any part just the type of questions will be different. In part 1 it?Td be more or less personal and in part 2 they?Td ask you to talk about it for a bit longer, though in part 3 you?Td be more expecting questions about technology or communication.
Don?Tt get hang up on the fact that you?Td have to talk for 1-2 minutes bout an interntet café. Just remember it?Ts a place and try not to DESCRIBE too much but actually talk about a sequential experience. What I mean is you can talk about how you met your girlfriend there or one day you had to go to an internet café cos your computer wasn?Tt working. Whatever it is, try to talk about an experience. Try to remember the different stages that happened.
Add a bit of a long intro and conclusion and you should be fine if of course your pron and intonation is in place.
Rule number 1 stays number 1 though and that is to not be scared of the examiner. They?Tre scared of you cos imagine how hard it?Td be to give someone a bandsore, you have interviewed during only 11-15 minutes?.
Make sure you will have slept enough and have breakfast.
Hope it helps.
