a. 3 cách trả lời IELTS Speaking part 1

Có 3 cách điển hình đưa ra câu trả lời cho các câu hỏi trong phần 1,
đó là:
- Trả lời - WH - expansion
- It depends
- Negative answer

Cấu trúc 1: Trả lời - WH - expansion

Bước 1: Answer directly the question by paraphrasing that question

Nếu câu hỏi Yes/No question

Do you like music => Yes, I am really into listening to music.

Nếu câu hỏi WH-question

- When do you usually watch TV? => I often watch TV at night

- Không nên lặp lại y hệt những từ vựng trong câu hỏi, mà nên diễn
đạt lại bằng từ đồng nghĩa để thể hiện vốn từ đa dạng mà bạn có
- Không nên trả lời Yes/ No đơn thuần, mà nên đưa ra câu trả đầy đủ
chủ - vị, vừa thể hiện sự lịch sự và vừa có nhiều thời gian nghĩ ý
tưởng cho câu trả lời.

Bước 2: Give detailed information by answering the WH-questions

respectively (Lần lượt đưa thêm thông tin chi tiết bằng cách trả lời
các câu hỏi WH questions)

WHEN

- on weekend: vào cuối tuần

- in the morning/ afternoon/ evening: vào buổi sáng/ chiều/ tối

WHAT:

WHY:

- Bạn có thể chọn bất cứ câu hỏi WH question nào để đưa vào câu
trả lời của mình chứ không nhất thiết phải phát triển ý dựa trên tất
cả WH trong 1 câu trả lời, khiến bài nói trở nên quá dài, rườm rà
hoặc thậm chí thừa thãi thông tin

Ví dụ 1: Do you enjoy walking?

Answer directly the question

Well, yes, I’m really into walking.

Give detailed information by respectively answering the WH-

questions

-HOW OFTEN + WHEN: I goona thirty-minute walk on a daily basis

after leaving the workplace.
- WHO + WHERE: My sibling whom I stay with and I usually walk
around the park near our house.

Ví dụ 2: How often do you go shopping?

Answer directly the question

Give detailed information by respectively answering the WH-

questions

Ví dụ 3: What sports do you regularly do?

Ví dụ 4: Do you like music?

Cấu trúc 2: It depends on ST

Bước 1: Your opinion depends on what (quan điểm của bạn phụ thuộc vào cái
gì)
Cấu trúc câu:

- Bắt đầu bằng một sự lưỡng lự: I think my answer may be yes or no / Yesss
or Nooo

It depends on +

my time (nó còn phụ thuộc vào thời gian của tôi)
my budget (nó còn phụ thuộc vào túi tiền của tôi)
my mood (nó còn phụ thuộc vào tâm trạng của tôi)
my health (nó còn phụ thuộc vào sức khỏe của tôi)

other aspects (bạn có thể nghĩ tiếp các khía cạnh khác nhé)

Bước 2: Give 2 situations using conditional type 1 (Đưa ra 2 tình

huống sử dụng cấu trúc câu điều kiện loại 1)

Describe situation 1 (Tình huống 1)

If/ when I’m in good mood, I will do X

Describe situation 2 (Tình huống 2)

However/ but when I’m up to my ears in work/ study, I will do Y

instead of/ rather than doing/ do X

However/ but when I’m down in the dumps, I will do Y instead of/
rather than doing/ do X

Ví dụ 1: Do you enjoy walking?

It depends on my time

(Tình huống 1) If I’m free from my work, I will definitely go on a

thirty-minute walk around the park near my house so that I cannot
only enjoy the fresh air, but also keep fit.

(Tình huống 2) However, when I’m up to my ears in work, I have to

stay at home to finish all the tasks instead of walking.

Ví dụ 2: How often do you go shopping?

It depends on my budget

(Tình huống 1) If I get the salary, I will definitely go shopping for clothes and
shoes on a regular basis in shopping malls with my best friend in order to
keep up with the latest trend.

money.

Ví dụ 3: What sports do you regularly do ?

I can release all stress.

với những điều tích cực mà giám khảo mong đợi

Bước 1: Give opinion honestly (đưa ra quan điểm một cách thành

Lazy

Bước 3: Predict in the future (phỏng đoán trong tương lai)

Ví dụ 1: Do you enjoy walking?

To be honest, I’m not really into walking even knowing that it is a

healthy activity

The reasons? Just because I’m too lazy to be a morning riser and
then have a walk in the early morning.

But in the future, I will surely try my best to take up this activity as a
hobby to strengthen my health.

Ví dụ 2: How often do you go shopping?

Well to be honest, I rarely go shopping

As still being a student, I’m on the breadline, so I cannot afford to buy new
stuff on a regular basis.

However in the future, when I work as a full-time translator and make a

killing, I will definitely go shopping for clothes and shoes more frequently
in order to be more fashionable.

Ví dụ 3: What sports do you regularly do?
