IELTS Speaking Part 1:Topic: Cafes

  1. Do you have a favorite cafe? [Why/ Why not?])

I do have a favorite cafe! It’s this cozy little spot on the corner of a busy street near my university. It’s called “Azalea”. It’s known for its great vibes and fantastic coffee. They also serve smoothies and juices in case people prefer not to consume caffeine. I love the friendly staff and the chill atmosphere there. It feels like a second home to me whenever I’m there.

  • Second home: ngôi nhà thứ hai

 

    2. Do you often go to cafes by yourself? [Why/ Why not?]

Yeah, I often pop into cafes on my own, either to work on my deadlines or have a little chit chat with my friends. It’s a great way to unwind, people-watch, and get some work done without distractions. Plus, there’s something relaxing about sipping coffee on your own and just soaking in the atmosphere of the cafe.

  • Pop into (phrasal verb): ghé qua
  • Soak in (phrasal verb): ngấm 

 

    3. What do you think helps to make a cafe very popular? [Why?]

Well, I think a cafe gets popular when it nails the combo of good drinks, a unique atmosphere, and friendly staff. People love a spot where they feel comfortable and can hang out for hours. Nowadays, people often take photos at cafes as well so I suppose a well-decorated space is also necessary for a cafe to get more attention. 

  • Nail (verb): làm tốt điều gì

   

4. Why do some people prefer cafes that are part of large chains, rather than small, local cafes?

I guess some people go for chain cafes because they know what to expect, you know, like consistent drinks quality, familiar menu, and often a convenient location. Chain cafes also have better brand image and are more likely to offer promotions on a regular basis compared to lesser-known ones. 

 

IELTS Speaking Part 2: Describe a place you visited that has beautiful views

One place I once visited that has absolutely stunning views is Ha Long Bay. I went there a couple of years ago during a trip with my friends, and it was one of the highlights of our journey. We’d heard so much about its beauty and decided to spend a few days exploring the area.

Ha Long Bay is located in the northeast part of Vietnam, and it’s famous for its emerald waters and thousands of towering limestone islands topped with rainforests. We took a cruise around the bay, which is really the best way to soak in all the scenery. From the deck of the boat, you can see these dramatic rock formations rising up and out of the water, creating a surreal landscape. All of us could not stop ourselves from being in awe for the most part of our trip.

The reason why we’re so impressed by what Ha Long Bay has to offer is that these views are completely unique. There’s this serene, almost mystical quality to the bay, especially in the early morning when the mist is still hanging over the water. It’s a place where you can really escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and connect with nature in a profound way. The peacefulness and natural beauty of Ha Long Bay make it a place that I would love to visit once again.

  • Emerald waters: nước xanh màu ngọc bích
  • Towering limestone islands: các đảo đá vôi cao vút
  • Surreal (adjective): không thật
  • To be in awe: ngỡ ngàng
  • To escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life: thoát khỏi sự xô bồ nhộn nhịp của cuộc sống hàng ngày

IELTS Speaking Part 3

The beauty industry

1. Do you agree that most beauty products are a waste of money?

While some may argue that many beauty products are not worth the investment, I believe that it largely depends on individual needs and perspectives. For some, these products enhance self-esteem and contribute to their sense of well-being. Others may find the cost unjustifiable, especially if the benefits are not as clear cut as what they hope for. Ultimately, the value of beauty products is subjective and varies from person to person.

  • Self-esteem (noun): lòng tự tôn
  • Unjustifiable (adjective): không thể giải thích nổi
  • Subjective (adjective): mang tính chủ quan

       2. How does the beauty industry advertise its products so successfully?

Well, to the best of my knowledge, the beauty industry employs a range of marketing strategies to advertise its products effectively. One way is to invest in social media influencers, which is probably one of the mainstream methods these days and has proven to be quite effective in making the products more well-known amongst the public. Additionally, though a bit controversial, this billion-dollar industry also taps into societal standards of beauty, such as through creating skin whitening products or anti-aging creams, which can powerfully drive consumer behavior.

  • Marketing strategy (noun): chiến lược quảng cáo
  • Controversial (adjective): mang tính gây tranh cãi
  • To tap into: sử dụng cái gì đó
  • Standards of beauty: các quy chuẩn về sắc đẹp

 

       3. What do you think of the view that beauty products should not be advertised to children?

I strongly support the view that beauty products should not be marketed to children. Advertising targeted at young audiences can take advantage of their impressionability and foster the development of unrealistic beauty standards from a young age. This can lead to long-term issues such as low self-esteem and body image disorders in the long run. Therefore, it is crucial to protect children from such influences to promote a healthy development and perception of beauty.

  • To take advantage of: lợi dụng
  • Impressionability (noun): sự dễ bị ảnh hưởng

 

Beauty and culture

  1. Why do many people equate youth with beauty?

Many people associate youth with beauty due to cultural and societal standards that celebrate youthful appearances. Youth is often culturally linked with qualities like health, and attractiveness, which are further highly valued in media and advertising. These associations are reinforced through continuous exposure to images and messages that prioritize youthful features as the ideal beauty. 

  • To reinforce (verb): củng cố
  • To prioritize (verb): ưu tiên

     

2. Do you think that being beautiful could affect a person’s success in life?

Yes, physical attractiveness can significantly influence a person’s success in life. Studies indicate that attractive individuals often experience preferential treatment in various areas, including career opportunities, social interactions, and even legal situations. Since this is a scientifically proven fact, it’s more challenging for people whose appearances are considered not in alignment with societal beauty standards to achieve more in life.

  • Preferential treatment: đối xử ưu tiễn
  • Be in alignment: hòa hợp với

 

3. Why might society’s ideas about beauty change over time?

Societal perceptions of beauty evolve over time due to changing cultural, social, and historical contexts. Influences such as globalization, media, and shifts in social values contribute to these changes. For example, the emergence of body positivity movements and increased representation of diverse beauty standards in media reflect a growing acceptance of different body types and appearances, which used to be unfavorably looked at in the recent past.
