SPEAKING PART 4- KỂ VỀ MỘT TRẢI NGHIỆM

Part 4:
2 kiểu đề:
 Đề kể chuyện - đề hay gặp (99%): (câu đầu tiên trong bộ 3 câu hỏi (⅓) sẽ bắt
các bạn kể lại về một câu chuyện trong quá khứ → dành nhiều thời gian nhất
cho câu đầu tiên, câu thứ 2&3 mỗi câu chỉ dành ra khoảng 10-15 giây)
 ***lưu ý: phương pháp gộp đề cho đề kể chuyện. (thiết kế 1 nội dung nhưng
kể được cho cả 2 đề)
 Đề quan điểm cá nhân - hiếm gặp (1%): Đề hỏi cả 3 câu về quan điểm, ý kiến
cá nhân → chia đều thời gian trả lời cho 3 câu.

Mẹo:
B1: Giới thiệu bản thân (bạn nào càng nói kém thì giới thiệu bản thân càng dài ra →
ăn bớt thời gian )
B2: Tự nói. (tự kể chuyện)
B3: Kết: I know that my speaking skill is not perfect but I will try my best to
improve my speaking skill in the future. Thank you so much for listening!
