IELTS Speaking Part 1: Introduction and Interview
Tổng Quan Về Part 1
Part 1 của IELTS Speaking kéo dài khoảng 4-5 phút với các câu hỏi ngắn về cuộc sống hàng ngày, sở thích cá nhân và các chủ đề quen thuộc. Đây là phần “warm-up” giúp bạn làm quen với examiner và bầu không khí phòng thi.

I’d like to talk about my friend Minh, who is probably the most humorous person I know.
I met Minh about five years ago when we were studying at the same university. We were in the same class and quickly became close friends because of his funny personality.
Minh has many ways to make people laugh. He often tells funny stories about his daily life, and he’s really good at imitating other people’s voices and gestures. For example, he can copy our professor’s voice perfectly, which always makes everyone in our group laugh. He also likes to make jokes during conversations, even in serious situations. Sometimes he uses funny expressions or does unexpected things to surprise people.
I think Minh is humorous because he has a natural talent for finding funny things in ordinary situations. He’s also very creative and quick at thinking of witty comments. Another reason is that he’s very confident and not afraid to make himself look silly to make others happy. He told me that he believes laughter is the best medicine for stress, so he always tries to make people around him smile. I really appreciate having a friend like him because he makes my life more enjoyable and helps me forget about my worries when I’m feeling down.

📝 Sample Answer – Band 7.5-8
Thời lượng: Khoảng 2-2.5 phút
I’d like to describe my former colleague, Tuan, who is hands down the most humorous person I’ve ever encountered in my life.
I first got to know Tuan about three years ago when I started working at a marketing agency in Hanoi. He was my mentor during the orientation period, and from the very first day, I was struck by his infectious sense of humor. What initially seemed like a formal workplace atmosphere quickly became much more relaxed and enjoyable, largely thanks to his presence.
What makes Tuan particularly funny is his remarkable ability to find humor in the most mundane situations. For instance, when our team was facing a tight deadline and everyone was stressed out, he’d suddenly crack a joke or make a witty observation about our situation that would instantly lighten the mood. He’s also incredibly talented at mimicking people – not in a mean-spirited way, but in a good-natured manner that even the person being imitated would find amusing. Additionally, he has this clever wordplay skill where he can turn ordinary phrases into puns that catch everyone off guard.
I believe Tuan is genuinely humorous because humor seems to be deeply ingrained in his personality rather than something forced or artificial. He has this natural charisma that draws people to him, and his timing is always impeccable – he knows exactly when to inject humor into conversations. What I find most admirable is that his humor never comes at anyone’s expense; it’s always inclusive and uplifting. I think his approach to life is simply more lighthearted than most people’s, and he genuinely derives joy from making others happy. Having him around has taught me that maintaining a sense of humor, even during challenging times, is crucial for both mental well-being and building strong relationships with colleagues.

📝 Sample Answer – Band 8.5-9
Thời lượng: 2.5-3 phút đầy đủ
I’d like to talk about my uncle Hai, who is, without a shadow of a doubt, the most naturally humorous person in my extended family and quite possibly anyone I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing.
I’ve known Uncle Hai my entire life, as he’s my father’s younger brother, but I really came to appreciate his extraordinary sense of humor when I was around twelve years old. That was when I became old enough to truly grasp the subtleties and nuances of his comedic style. He’s now in his late forties and works as a high school literature teacher, though I’d argue his students probably learn as much about the art of humor as they do about Vietnamese literature in his classes.
What sets Uncle Hai apart from other funny people is the multi-layered nature of his humor. He’s not someone who relies on cheap laughs or slapstick comedy. Instead, he has this remarkable gift for observational humor – he picks up on the little absurdities and ironies of everyday life that most people would completely overlook. For example, at a family gathering last Tet, when everyone was engaged in the typical small talk about jobs and achievements, he cleverly pointed out how we Vietnamese have this peculiar habit of simultaneously complaining about being busy while also bragging about how busy we are. The observation was so spot-on that it sent everyone into fits of laughter because we all recognized ourselves in it.
Beyond his verbal wit, Uncle Hai also has impeccable comedic timing and an expressive face that can convey entire stories without words. He’ll often inject humor through subtle gestures or facial expressions during serious conversations, and you’ll find yourself stifling laughter at the most inappropriate moments.
What truly makes him humorous, in my opinion, is that his comedy stems from genuine intelligence and deep observation of human nature rather than just a desire to be the center of attention. He once told me that humor is essentially a sophisticated form of truth-telling – it’s about holding up a mirror to society and ourselves, but doing so in a way that’s palatable and even enjoyable. His humor is never malicious or at someone’s expense; it’s always self-deprecating or gently teasing in a way that brings people together rather than divides them.
I believe Uncle Hai’s approach to humor has shaped my own worldview considerably. He’s taught me that maintaining a humorous perspective doesn’t mean not taking life seriously – it means not taking yourself too seriously. In Vietnamese culture, where there’s often tremendous pressure to conform and maintain face, his ability to laugh at life’s absurdities provides a refreshing counterpoint. Having someone like him in my life has been invaluable, as he’s shown me that humor can be both an art form and a life philosophy – a way of navigating the inevitable challenges and contradictions of human existence with grace and lightness.

Các Câu Hỏi Thảo Luận Sâu
Theme 1: Humor in Society
Question 1: Why do you think some people are naturally funnier than others?
🎯 Phân tích câu hỏi:
- Dạng: Cause analysis (Why)
- Key words: naturally funnier – cần explain factors making someone humorous
- Cách tiếp cận: Discuss multiple factors (personality traits, upbringing, social skills, cognitive abilities) + acknowledge that it’s combination of nature and nurture
📝 Sample Answer – Band 6-7:
“I think there are several reasons why some people are funnier than others. First, it might be related to their personality. Some people are naturally more outgoing and confident, so they feel comfortable making jokes. Second, their family background could play a role. If they grow up in a family where people often laugh and joke around, they learn to be funny too. Finally, I think practice is important. People who try to be funny more often become better at it over time.”
Phân tích:
- Structure: Clear với “First, Second, Finally” nhưng predictable
- Vocabulary: Adequate (outgoing, confident, play a role) nhưng không sophisticated
- Tại sao Band 6-7: Ideas reasonable và coherent nhưng thiếu depth. Examples general chứ không specific. Grammar straightforward.
📝 Câu trả lời mẫu – Band 8-9:
“Well, I’d say there are multiple factors at play here, and it’s probably a combination of nature and nurture. From a personality standpoint, people with naturally extroverted temperaments and high emotional intelligence tend to be funnier because they’re more attuned to social dynamics and can read the room effectively. They instinctively know what will resonate with their audience.
Beyond personality traits, I believe cognitive factors are equally important. Humorous people often have quick mental processing and the ability to make unexpected connections between seemingly unrelated concepts – this is what underpins wordplay and witty observations. There’s also a learned component – growing up in an environment where humor is valued and modeled certainly shapes one’s comedic abilities.
Interestingly, research has shown that people who’ve experienced hardship sometimes develop humor as a coping mechanism, which might explain why some comedians have difficult backgrounds. At the end of the day, I think being naturally funny is a blend of innate abilities, learned skills, and life experiences that converge to create that elusive quality we call a sense of humor.”
Phân tích:
- Structure: Sophisticated organization với discourse markers (Well, From a personality standpoint, Beyond, Interestingly, At the end of the day) showing clear progression of ideas
- Vocabulary: Highly sophisticated (attuned to, resonate with, underpins, elusive quality, converge) và topic-specific (extroverted temperaments, cognitive factors, coping mechanism)
- Grammar: Complex structures handled effortlessly (relative clauses, participle clauses, passives, conditionals implied)
- Critical Thinking: Shows multi-dimensional analysis (personality + cognitive + environment), references research, acknowledges complexity
💡 Key Language Features:
- Discourse markers: Well, From a standpoint, Beyond, Interestingly, At the end of the day
- Tentative language: I’d say, tend to be, probably, might explain
- Abstract nouns: temperaments, dynamics, cognitive factors, convergence
- Academic phrases: research has shown, there’s a learned component, multiple factors at play
Question 2: Do you think humor varies across different cultures?
🎯 Phân tích câu hỏi:
- Dạng: Opinion + Compare/Contrast (cultural differences)
- Key words: varies, different cultures
- Cách tiếp cận: Give clear opinion → Explain why it varies (language, values, taboos) → Give specific examples from different cultures → Acknowledge universal elements
📝 Sample Answer – Band 6-7:
“Yes, I definitely think humor is different in different cultures. For example, what Vietnamese people find funny might not be funny to Western people. This is because each culture has different values and customs. Language also plays a big role because many jokes rely on wordplay that doesn’t translate well. However, I think some types of humor, like physical comedy, are universal and can make everyone laugh regardless of their background.”
Phân tích:
- Structure: Clear position với supporting points
- Vocabulary: Basic (different, plays a big role, regardless of) với một số topic words (values, customs, wordplay)
- Tại sao Band 6-7: Communicates main ideas clearly nhưng analysis còn surface-level. Examples general (Vietnamese vs Western) chứ không specific.
📝 Câu trả lời mẫu – Band 8-9:
“Absolutely, humor is profoundly culture-specific, though there are certain universal elements as well. Cultural variations stem from several factors. First and foremost, language plays a crucial role – much humor relies on wordplay, idioms, and cultural references that simply don’t translate across linguistic boundaries. For instance, Vietnamese humor often involves puns based on tonal distinctions, which are completely lost on non-Vietnamese speakers.
Beyond language, cultural values and taboos significantly shape what’s considered funny. In Vietnam, self-deprecating humor is generally well-received and seen as humble, whereas in some Western cultures, it might be perceived as a lack of confidence. Conversely, certain topics that might be fair game for comedy in some cultures – such as religion or politics – are strictly off-limits in others.
That said, I believe there’s a common thread of humor that transcends cultural boundaries. Physical comedy, as demonstrated by silent film era comedians like Charlie Chaplin, proves that some humor is indeed universal. Similarly, humor arising from shared human experiences – like the frustration of technology failing at crucial moments – resonates across cultures. The key distinction is that while the capacity for humor is universal, the specific content and delivery that triggers laughter is heavily mediated by cultural context.”
Phân tích:
- Structure: Complex, multi-layered argument: Position → Factor 1 (language) + example → Factor 2 (values) + comparison → Counter-argument (universal elements) → Balanced conclusion
- Vocabulary: Sophisticated (profoundly, stem from, self-deprecating, transcends, mediated by) với excellent collocations (crucial role, fair game, off-limits, common thread)
- Grammar: Full range showing effortless control (passives, relative clauses, complex noun phrases, concession)
- Critical Thinking: Balanced view acknowledging both cultural specificity AND universal elements. Specific examples (Vietnamese tonal puns, Charlie Chaplin). Shows nuanced understanding.
💡 Key Language Features:
- Hedging/Tentative language: certain universal elements, might be perceived as, generally well-received
- Contrast markers: whereas, conversely, that said
- Advanced vocabulary: profoundly, transcends, mediated by, resonates
- Specific examples: Vietnamese tonal puns, Charlie Chaplin, silent film era
Theme 2: Comedy and Entertainment
Question 3: How has comedy entertainment changed over the past few decades?
🎯 Phân tích câu hỏi:
- Dạng: Compare Past vs Present (changes over time)
- Key words: changed, past few decades
- Cách tiếp cận: Identify major changes (platform, style, content, accessibility) → Explain causes (technology, social changes) → Evaluate impact (positive/negative)
📝 Sample Answer – Band 6-7:
“Comedy has changed a lot in recent years. In the past, people watched comedy mainly on TV or went to theaters. Now, we have many platforms like YouTube and Netflix where we can watch comedy anytime. Also, the style of comedy has changed. Modern comedy often discusses social issues and current events, while older comedy was more about slapstick and simple jokes. I think these changes happened because of the internet and because society has become more open to discussing serious topics through humor.”
Phân tích:
- Structure: Past → Present → Reasons for change (logical flow)
- Vocabulary: Basic time expressions (in the past, now, modern, older) và topic words (platforms, social issues, slapstick)
- Tại sao Band 6-7: Clear comparison nhưng analysis superficial. Thiếu specific examples và deeper discussion of implications.
📝 Câu trả lời mẫu – Band 8-9:
“Comedy entertainment has undergone a dramatic transformation over the past few decades, primarily driven by technological advancement and shifting social norms.
The most obvious change is the democratization of comedy through digital platforms. Whereas comedy was once the domain of established TV networks and professional comedians, now anyone with a smartphone can create and disseminate comedic content through YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram. This has led to an explosion of diverse voices and styles that might never have found a platform in the traditional media landscape. For instance, niche humor targeting specific communities can now find its audience globally, something that would have been impossible in the broadcast era.
In terms of content, there’s been a marked shift toward more socially conscious and politically engaged comedy. Contemporary comedians like Hasan Minhaj or Trevor Noah tackle serious issues like immigration, racism, or mental health through comedy, using humor as a vehicle for commentary. This represents a departure from the more escapist comedy of previous decades, which tended to steer clear of controversial topics. I believe this shift reflects broader societal changes – audiences today are more aware of social issues and demand that entertainment engage with reality rather than simply provide distraction from it.
However, it’s worth noting that this evolution has had both positive and negative consequences. On the plus side, comedy has become more inclusive and representative of diverse perspectives. On the flip side, the oversaturation of content means it’s harder for quality comedy to stand out, and the instantaneous nature of online platforms sometimes prioritizes viral moments over crafted, nuanced humor.”
Phân tích:
- Structure: Highly sophisticated với clear themes: Platform changes → Content changes → Evaluation of impact. Each section well-developed with examples.
- Vocabulary: Advanced (democratization, disseminate, niche, marked shift, vehicle for commentary, oversaturation) showing excellent range
- Grammar: Complex structures used naturally throughout (passive constructions, relative clauses, participle phrases)
- Critical Thinking: Multi-faceted analysis with specific examples (Hasan Minhaj, Trevor Noah), balanced evaluation (pros and cons), shows understanding of causes and effects
💡 Key Language Features:
- Cause-effect language: driven by, led to, represents a departure from, reflects
- Comparison language: whereas, compared to, represents a departure from
- Evaluation language: on the plus side, on the flip side, it’s worth noting
- Time expressions: over the past few decades, in the broadcast era, contemporary

📝 Sample Answer – Band 6-7:
“Having a good sense of humor has many benefits. First, it helps reduce stress. When people laugh, they feel more relaxed and forget about their problems temporarily. Second, humor improves social relationships. People who are funny usually have more friends because everyone enjoys being around them. Third, humor can also be good for health. Scientists have found that laughing can boost the immune system. So overall, having a sense of humor makes life better in many ways.”

- Structure: Clear categorization (stress, relationships, health) với “First, Second, Third”
- Vocabulary: Adequate (reduce stress, boost, immune system) nhưng not sophisticated
- Tại sao Band 6-7: Points valid và relevant nhưng development còn basic. Reference “scientists have found” vague, thiếu specific evidence.
📝 Câu trả lời mẫu – Band 8-9:
“A good sense of humor yields numerous benefits across multiple dimensions of life, and I’d argue it’s actually one of the most valuable life skills one can possess.
From a psychological perspective, humor serves as a powerful stress-management tool. When we’re able to find humor in difficult situations, we’re essentially reframing our perspective, which prevents us from being overwhelmed by negativity. Research in positive psychology has shown that people with a well-developed sense of humor exhibit greater psychological resilience and lower rates of depression and anxiety. This makes sense because humor provides cognitive distance from problems, allowing us to approach challenges with more objectivity.
Socially, humor acts as social glue. It facilitates bonding, breaks down barriers, and creates a sense of shared experience. People with good humor are often more charismatic and build rapport more easily because humor signals several positive traits – intelligence, creativity, and emotional security. In professional contexts, leaders who employ humor judiciously often foster more positive team dynamics and better workplace morale. I’ve noticed this in my own workplace – colleagues who can inject appropriate levity into stressful situations tend to be better regarded and more influential.
There’s even a physical dimension to humor’s benefits. The act of laughing triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals, which promote an overall sense of well-being and can temporarily relieve pain. Some studies suggest that laughter can boost immune function and even improve cardiovascular health by increasing blood flow.
Perhaps most importantly, humor enhances perspective. It reminds us not to take ourselves too seriously and helps us maintain proportion about life’s challenges. In a world where people often feel overwhelmed by the weight of their responsibilities and problems, the ability to laugh – especially at oneself – is genuinely liberating.”

Question 5: Do you think children should be encouraged to develop their sense of humor?
🎯 Phân tích câu hỏi:
- Dạng: Opinion + Argument (should/shouldn’t)
- Key words: children, encouraged, develop sense of humor
- Cách tiếp cận: Clear opinion → Reasons why beneficial for children → Acknowledge potential concerns/balance → Conclusion
📝 Sample Answer – Band 6-7:
“Yes, I strongly believe children should learn to develop a sense of humor. It’s important for their social development because humorous children tend to make friends more easily. Also, humor can help children deal with difficult situations like being bullied or facing academic pressure. However, adults should teach children about appropriate humor and make sure they don’t hurt others with their jokes. Overall, if guided properly, developing humor is very beneficial for children’s growth.”
Phân tích:
- Structure: Clear position → Reasons → Caveat → Conclusion
- Vocabulary: Topic-appropriate (social development, academic pressure, appropriate humor) nhưng expression basic
- Tại sao Band 6-7: Argument coherent và balanced với caveat about appropriate humor, nhưng ideas chưa fully developed. Examples general.
📝 Câu trả lời mẫu – Band 8-9:
“I’m strongly in favor of encouraging children to develop their sense of humor, though with important caveats about guidance and appropriateness.
Developmentally, humor plays a crucial role in children’s cognitive and social growth. When children learn to understand and create humor, they’re actually exercising complex cognitive skills like recognizing incongruity, understanding multiple meanings, and grasping social context. These are sophisticated mental processes that contribute to overall intellectual development. Moreover, humor equips children with valuable coping mechanisms early in life. A child who can find humor in setbacks or embarrassing situations is developing emotional resilience that will serve them well throughout their lives.
From a social standpoint, humor is instrumental in helping children navigate the complex world of peer relationships. Children with a healthy sense of humor often integrate more easily into social groups and are better equipped to diffuse potential conflicts. They learn the delicate art of self-deprecation, which guards against excessive self-importance, and they develop empathy by learning what makes others laugh versus what might hurt them.
That being said, it’s imperative that adults provide proper guidance. Children need to learn the distinction between humor that brings people together and humor that alienates or hurts. They should understand that humor at someone’s expense – particularly targeting things people can’t control like appearance or abilities – is fundamentally unkind. This is where parental and educational involvement becomes critical – children need modeling of appropriate humor and gentle correction when they cross boundaries.
In cultures like Vietnam, where there’s sometimes a tendency toward emphasizing seriousness and academic achievement, I think making room for humor development is especially important. It provides balance and helps children understand that success and levity aren’t mutually exclusive. Ultimately, teaching children to both appreciate and create appropriate humor is an investment in their long-term well-being and success in life.”
Phân tích:
- Structure: Highly sophisticated multi-layered argument: Position → Developmental benefits → Social benefits → Important caveats → Cultural context → Conclusion
- Vocabulary: Exceptional range (incongruity, instrumental in, diffuse, self-deprecation, alienates, levity, mutually exclusive) với precise usage
- Grammar: Full range of structures (passives, conditionals, cleft sentences, complex relative clauses) used naturally
- Critical Thinking: Balanced perspective acknowledging both benefits và need for guidance. Cultural context added (Vietnam). Shows nuanced understanding of complexity.
💡 Key Language Features:

- Cautioning language: with important caveats, that being said, need to learn
- Development language: plays a crucial role in, contributes to, equips children with
- Contrast/Balance: whereas, versus, mutually exclusive, provides balance
