Kĩ năng nói trong bài thi IELTS luôn là kĩ năng gây nhiều trở ngại cho thí sinh nhất, bởi lẽ điểm nói thường là yếu tố kéo điểm và khiến bạn không đạt được Band điểm như mong muốn. Bên cạnh đó, việc đánh giá phần thi nói được thể hiện qua nhiều yếu tố như từ vựng, ngữ pháp, độ trôi chảy và mạch lạc.
Trong phòng thi, những trường hợp các bạn nghe và không hiểu ý câu hỏi là hoàn toàn dễ gặp. Bởi vậy, bạn đừng nên quá lo lắng mà nên hỏi lại giám khảo IELTS Speaking để chắc chắn rằng mình hiểu đúng yêu cầu mà đề bài đưa ra.
➥ Trong phần 1, khi bạn không hiểu một từ khó, bạn có thể hỏi giám khảo:
“I’m sorry, what does “organization” mean please?
“I’m sorry, I don’t understand the word “organization”. Could you please explain it for me?”
Trong trường hợp không hiểu toàn bộ câu hỏi, các bạn có thể nói rằng:
“I’m sorry, I didn’t quite catch that.”
“I’m sorry, but I’m not sure what you mean!”
Đừng quá e ngại khi hỏi giám khảo nhé, bởi giám khảo sẽ không đánh giá bạn thấp dựa vào câu hỏi đâu.

Actually, I was a fresh graduate and found a job as an R&D executive that matches my skills and desire. To be honest, this job provides me a lot of opportunities to learn and challenge myself everyday.
The main reason was based on my major in English. Indeed, the job has been my dream for a long time as I always want to be deeply involved in linguistic field.
The thing that I like most about my job is the open working environment. Working here provides me a chance to raise my voice, share my ideas and contribute the overall development.
In my spare time, I frequently take part in playing sports in the park with my friends. Recently, I’ve taken up swimming. You probably know that swimming is one of the healthiest sports because it strengthens all of the muscles equally
When I was a little girl, playing baby dolls with my friends was one of my recreational activities that I loved the most. Once in blue moon we went to the park together to play hide and seek or tug of war
Obviously spending spare time with my family or friends is much more interesting than alone. I live far from my family and friends because I have moved to the city for four years for my job. Therefore, I take advantage of my free time to come back home and visit them.

Đề 1: Describe a very difficult task that you succeeded in doing as part of your work or studies
When I was still studying in college, a part of the curriculum requires you to do an internship in order to graduate. I was lucky to be picked by a design boutique that handled very important clients, with campaigns valued in thousands of dollars.
During my second week there, one of the clients suddenly decided that a campaign, which had been in the works for a month and was due to be launched in three days, should be completely reworked. Apparently he was not satisfied with several crucial parts of the strategy and we were tasked with reworking it all from the ground floor.
We spent all night brainstorming how to pull off something that took a month to set up before. It was an incredibly challenging project and we had only one chance to get it right. I took a look at previous projects that the company had run with this client, doubled back on the feedback the client had given throughout the project and had a moment of clarity, I now had an idea and I pitched it to the team and was set up to run point on the project.
After hours of hard work we now had a new project that incorporated what was already created into a new strategy which would not only make use of all the materials created this far, but would also keep the original timetable in place with minor modifications. The client was over the moon at our follow up meeting and the ingenuity of the new plan.
Đề 2: Describe an interesting song
One of the songs that strikes a chord with me the most when I hear it is Everlong by Foo Fighters. Foo Fighters is an alternative rock, post-grunge band from USA whose frontman, Dave Grohl, wrote this song during one of the low points in his life.
According to him, he wrote the song on Christmas after having just got divorced, which he had ended up sleeping in a friend’s floor in a sleeping bag. And at the same time, his guitarist and his drummer were about to quit the band. In the middle of this maelstrom of chaos, he wrote down this love song in less than an hour.
It has never been revealed who he was thinking about when he wrote this, but it is about being connected with someone so much that there is a connection that transcends from physical to spiritual. It’s an ode to love and the process of it all. The feelings of hesitation at the beginning, the excitement at any development. It truly conveys how powerful love can make you feel, and I think that is why it resonates so much with people, those who have loved and those who haven’t.
There’s also one more thing I find interesting about this song, which is that it was not an immediate hit. The song had to be stripped down to an acoustic version, to its raw core before people really started listening to it and fell in love with it. After that it became many fan’s favourite song and Grohl has gone on recording, saying that it is the song that most fans quote to him.

I remember seeing a documentary about oil rig workers that claimed to be if not the hardest job on the world, one of the hardest. It’s a job that is not only physically demanding but also psychologically taxing. These people spend 6 weeks in an environment where it doesn’t matter if you are a cleaner or a pipe worker, you have a very similar level of risk around you at all times. It’s an insane job that brings a high reward when it comes to salary, but I can’t even fathom doing that myself. I would probably crack under pressure on day one.
I can think of a couple of reasons why, first of all I believe most of them are simply adrenaline junkies, their brains are just wired for that kind of insanity. They tend to be very confident around risk-taking and work well under pressure. In addition, the toughest jobs in the world are highly compensated which can also be a big draw for people looking to build their own little nest egg quickly. Finally there’s the matter of education, dangerous jobs tend to draw in blue collar workers who haven’t had the chance to study or simply choose this as a quicker route to financial liberty.
I would imagine that they listen to the music of their youth in order to recapture the same feelings they had once upon a time. It’s music they already know the lyrics and rhythm to. It seems every previous generation judges the newer ones for their music. They simply don’t understand newer music, and the familiarity of music they know is a great motivator to stick to it.
To be honest, it is quite probable that he would be horrified by so many aspects of hip hop music. Hip hop music is extremely different to the music from his time. He lived his life on the straight and narrow so I think he would think that hip hop glorifies inappropriate themes like drugs, sex and violence. But I think if he gave it a chance I could find some hip hop he would be able to enjoy. Especially any artists that focus more on singing about passion, goals or hard work, he would have an easier time relating to that kind of content.
