Phân tích:
- Điểm mạnh: Trả lời trực tiếp, có lý do cơ bản (relax, see new places), đề cập đến đối tượng đi cùng
- Hạn chế: Từ vựng đơn giản (good way, new places), thiếu chi tiết cụ thể về trải nghiệm, cấu trúc câu đơn giản

📝 Sample Answer – Band 8-9:
Absolutely! I’m quite passionate about travelling, especially off-the-beaten-path destinations. For me, it’s not just about relaxation but also about broadening my horizons and immersing myself in different cultures.

- Vocabulary tinh tế: “passionate about”, “off-the-beaten-path”, “broadening horizons”, “immersing myself in”, “embarked on”, “eye-opening”

Yes, I have. Last summer, I went on a road trip to Da Lat with my friends. We drove for about 6 hours from Ho Chi Minh City. It was a nice experience because we could stop anywhere we wanted and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way.
Phân tích:
- Điểm mạnh: Trả lời rõ ràng với thông tin cơ bản (when, where, who, why), có đề cập đến lợi ích của road trip
- Hạn chế: Từ vựng lặp lại “nice”, “beautiful” – quá chung chung. Thiếu chi tiết về cảm xúc cá nhân hoặc điểm đặc biệt của chuyến đi
- Tại sao Band 6-7: Adequate vocabulary nhưng chưa varied. Grammar đơn giản (simple past + could). Ideas relevant nhưng chưa developed fully.
📝 Sample Answer – Band 8-9:
Yes, I have, and it was absolutely unforgettable! Last summer, my friends and I hit the road to Da Lat, which took us roughly six hours from Ho Chi Minh City. What made it so special was the freedom and flexibility it offered – we could pull over whenever we spotted something interesting, whether it was a quaint coffee shop or a breathtaking viewpoint. The journey itself became as memorable as the destination.
Phân tích:
- Điểm mạnh:
- Vocabulary đa dạng: “unforgettable”, “hit the road”, “freedom and flexibility”, “pull over”, “quaint”, “breathtaking viewpoint”
- Grammar phức tạp: “What made it so special was…”, “whether it was… or…”, “The journey itself became…”

- Đưa ra 2 lý do hoặc so sánh ưu/nhược điểm
- Có thể đề cập đến hoàn cảnh khác nhau (long distance vs short trips)
📝 Sample Answer – Band 6-7:
I prefer travelling by car for short distances. It’s more convenient because I can control my time and stop whenever I want. However, for long distances, I choose planes because they are faster and save time.
Phân tích:
- Điểm mạnh: Trả lời balanced, xem xét cả hai options dựa trên distance, có lý do logic
- Hạn chế: Vocabulary basic (convenient, control, faster, save time), không có personal touch hoặc specific examples
- Tại sao Band 6-7: Adequate response với clear preferences và reasons. Grammar simple but accurate. Lacks sophisticated vocabulary và depth of ideas.
📝 Sample Answer – Band 8-9:
Well, it really depends on the circumstances. For shorter distances, I’m definitely more inclined towards road travel because it offers unparalleled freedom – you’re not bound by strict schedules and can take detours to explore hidden gems. However, when it comes to covering vast distances, flying is obviously more practical and time-efficient. That said, I find car journeys far more enriching as they allow you to witness the landscape gradually transform, which you completely miss at 30,000 feet.
Phân tích:
- Điểm mạnh:
- Sophisticated vocabulary: “depends on circumstances”, “inclined towards”, “unparalleled freedom”, “bound by”, “take detours”, “vast distances”, “enriching”, “witness the landscape gradually transform”

📝 Sample Answer – Band 6-7
Thời lượng: Khoảng 1.5-2 phút
I’d like to talk about a road trip I went on last year. We travelled from Ho Chi Minh City to Nha Trang, which is a famous beach city in Vietnam.
I went with three of my close friends from university. We had been planning this trip for months because we all needed a break from work and study. We decided to rent a car and drive there instead of taking a bus or plane because we wanted more freedom.
The journey took us about 8 hours with several stops along the way. During the trip, we did many interesting things. First, we stopped at some local restaurants to try different kinds of food. We also visited a few small towns and took photos at beautiful spots. When we arrived in Nha Trang, we spent two days swimming at the beach, eating seafood, and visiting some tourist attractions like Vinpearl and the Po Nagar Towers.
This road trip was very memorable for several reasons. First, it was my first time travelling such a long distance by car, so everything felt new and exciting. Second, I got to spend quality time with my friends, and we had many interesting conversations during the drive. We talked about our future plans, our memories from university, and many other topics. Third, the scenery along the way was really beautiful, especially when we drove through the mountains and could see the ocean. The trip helped me relax and forget about my stress from work. It also made our friendship stronger because we shared this special experience together.

📝 Sample Answer – Band 7.5-8
Thời lượng: Khoảng 2-2.5 phút
I’d like to tell you about an absolutely unforgettable road trip I embarked on last summer. My destination was the coastal city of Nha Trang, roughly 450 kilometers from Ho Chi Minh City, which meant we were in for quite an adventure.
I travelled with three of my closest mates from university. We’d been toying with the idea of this trip for months, and finally decided to hit the road during our summer break. Rather than taking the conventional route of flying or catching a coach, we opted to rent a car, mainly because we craved the freedom and flexibility that road travel offers.
The journey itself turned out to be just as rewarding as the destination. We set off at the crack of dawn to avoid the midday heat, and the drive took us approximately eight hours with multiple stops. En route, we stumbled upon some charming little roadside eateries where we sampled authentic Vietnamese cuisine that you simply wouldn’t find in tourist guidebooks. We also made impromptu stops at several scenic viewpoints, particularly when we were winding through the mountainous regions. Once we arrived in Nha Trang, we spent our days soaking up the sun on pristine beaches, indulging in fresh seafood, and exploring historical sites like the Po Nagar Cham Towers.
What made this trip truly memorable, though, wasn’t just the places we visited. First and foremost, it was the sense of freedom and spontaneity – we weren’t tied to any schedule and could make decisions on the fly. Moreover, the uninterrupted quality time with my friends was priceless. We had heart-to-heart conversations about our aspirations, our fears, and our dreams while the scenery whizzed by. There’s something quite therapeutic about long drives that really brings people closer together. Last but not least, watching the landscape gradually transform from urban sprawl to lush countryside and finally to the sparkling coastline was absolutely mesmerizing. This trip reinforced my belief that sometimes the journey is far more valuable than the destination itself.

📝 Sample Answer – Band 8.5-9
Thời lượng: 2.5-3 phút đầy đủ
I’d be delighted to share what I consider to be one of the most enriching experiences of my life – a road trip I undertook last summer that completely exceeded my expectations and left an indelible mark on me.
The journey took us from the bustling metropolis of Ho Chi Minh City up to the coastal paradise of Nha Trang, covering roughly 450 kilometers of diverse Vietnamese terrain. What made this trip particularly special was the route we chose – instead of taking the main highway, we deliberately veered off onto less-travelled roads that wound through remote villages and stunning landscapes that most tourists never get to witness.
I was accompanied by three of my dearest friends from university, and I have to say, the chemistry within our group was second to none. We’d been toying with this idea for the better part of a year, and finally carved out some time during our summer break to make it happen. The decision to drive rather than fly was quite deliberate – we were all yearning for that sense of adventure and liberation that only road travel can provide. We wanted to be masters of our own itinerary, free to deviate from any predetermined plan whenever inspiration struck.
The actual journey unfolded beautifully. We departed at the crack of dawn, armed with nothing but a rough itinerary, plenty of snacks, and an excellent playlist. The eight-hour drive became a tapestry of memorable moments. We chanced upon these delightful hole-in-the-wall restaurants where we feasted on dishes that you’d never find in any guidebook – authentic regional cuisine that was both humble and exquisite. We made countless spontaneous detours whenever something caught our eye – whether it was a cascading waterfall half-hidden behind foliage or a quaint roadside market where locals were selling their produce. The highlight was undoubtedly when we were navigating the mountain passes and the panoramic views of the coastline suddenly came into view – absolutely breathtaking. Once in Nha Trang itself, we immersed ourselves in everything the city had to offer, from basking on pristine beaches to delving into its rich Cham heritage.
But what truly elevated this trip from merely enjoyable to genuinely memorable was something more intangible. Above all else, it was the unprecedented sense of freedom – being completely unshackled from our routine lives, deadlines, and responsibilities. There’s something profoundly liberating about being on the open road with no fixed agenda, going with the flow and seeing where it takes you. Beyond that, the deep, meaningful connections I forged – or rather, strengthened – with my companions were invaluable. Cut off from our digital distractions, we engaged in the kind of profound conversations that modern life rarely affords us, discussing everything from our deepest aspirations to our philosophical musings about life and purpose. These weren’t just superficial exchanges; they were soul-searching dialogues that really made us reflect on what matters most. On top of that, witnessing the gradual metamorphosis of the landscape – from urban concrete jungles through verdant countryside to the azure coastline – was like watching nature paint a masterpiece before our eyes. It dawned on me during this trip that life is fundamentally about experiences and relationships rather than possessions or achievements. This journey didn’t just give me beautiful memories; it fundamentally shifted my perspective on what constitutes a life well-lived. It reinforced the age-old wisdom that sometimes, indeed, the journey itself eclipses the destination in significance.

Follow-up Questions (Rounding Off Questions)
Sau khi bạn kết thúc Part 2, examiner thường hỏi thêm 1-2 câu ngắn để transition sang Part 3. Đây không phải là phần chính thức của Part 2 nhưng vẫn được đánh giá.
Question 1: Would you like to go on another road trip like that in the future?
Band 6-7 Answer:
Yes, definitely. I really enjoyed that trip and would love to do it again, maybe to a different destination like the northern part of Vietnam.
Band 8-9 Answer:
Absolutely! That experience really whetted my appetite for more road adventures. In fact, I’ve been toying with the idea of exploring the northern highlands next, perhaps venturing into places like Ha Giang or Sapa. There’s something incredibly addictive about that sense of freedom.
Question 2: Do you think road trips are becoming more popular nowadays?
Band 6-7 Answer:
Yes, I think so. More people now have cars and they want to travel in a more flexible way. Also, with social media, people share their road trip photos and it makes others want to try it too.
Band 8-9 Answer:
Without a doubt. I think we’re witnessing a real resurgence in road travel, particularly among younger generations who are craving more authentic, off-the-beaten-path experiences rather than conventional package tours. Social media has certainly played a role in this trend – when people see stunning road trip content, it ignites their wanderlust. Moreover, I think there’s a growing desire for that sense of autonomy and adventure that road trips uniquely provide.

Các Câu Hỏi Thảo Luận Sâu
Theme 1: Benefits and Challenges of Road Travel
Question 1: What are the main advantages of travelling by road compared to other forms of transport?
🎯 Phân tích câu hỏi:
- Dạng: Compare and evaluate (so sánh)
- Key words: “main advantages”, “compared to” → cần compare với other transport
- Cách tiếp cận: Nêu 2-3 advantages chính, mỗi advantage có explanation + example. Có thể nhắc briefly về disadvantages để show balanced view.
📝 Sample Answer – Band 6-7:
Well, I think there are several advantages of road travel. First, it gives you more freedom because you can stop anywhere you want along the way. For example, if you see a beautiful place, you can just stop and take photos. Second, it’s usually cheaper than flying, especially if you travel with a group and can share the cost. Third, you can bring more luggage without worrying about weight limits like on planes. However, it can be tiring for long distances.
Phân tích:
- Structure: Có direct answer với 3 points (freedom, cheaper, luggage)
- Vocabulary: Basic nhưng appropriate (“freedom”, “share the cost”, “weight limits”)
- Grammar: Simple structures, clear but not sophisticated
- Example: Có một example nhưng quite basic
- Tại sao Band 6-7: Adequate response với clear points, nhưng thiếu depth. Vocabulary và grammar không sophisticated. Ideas relevant nhưng chưa fully developed. Brief mention của disadvantage shows some balance.
📝 Câu trả lời mẫu – Band 8-9:
Well, I’d say road travel has several distinct advantages that really set it apart from other modes of transport. First and foremost, there’s the unparalleled flexibility it offers – you’re essentially master of your own schedule, able to make impromptu stops whenever something catches your eye, whether that’s a scenic overlook or a charming local eatery. This spontaneity is something you simply can’t replicate with scheduled flights or trains, where you’re very much at the mercy of timetables.
Beyond that, road trips often prove more economical, particularly for groups. When you factor in things like baggage fees, airport transfers, and the general premium associated with air travel, driving can be significantly more cost-effective, especially when costs are split among several people. There’s also the practical aspect of unrestricted luggage – you’re not constrained by those frustrating weight limits that plague air travel.
Perhaps most significantly, though, road travel offers something more intangible – the journey itself becomes part of the experience rather than just a means to an end. You get to witness the landscape gradually transform, observe local life firsthand, and really immerse yourself in the regions you’re passing through. That said, I should acknowledge that it’s not without drawbacks – long-distance driving can be physically taxing, and time-wise it’s obviously less efficient for covering vast distances. But for many people, those trade-offs are well worth it for the enriching experiences road travel provides.

- Key words: “why”, “some people prefer” → cần explain motivations và factors
- Cách tiếp cận: Identify different types of travelers và reasons for their preferences. Đưa ra 2-3 main reasons với explanations và examples.
📝 Sample Answer – Band 6-7:
I think there are different reasons why people choose organized tours. Some people don’t have much experience with travelling, so they feel more comfortable with a tour guide who can help them. Also, organized tours usually include everything like hotels and transportation, so it’s more convenient and you don’t have to worry about planning. Another reason is safety – some people feel safer when they travel in a group, especially in foreign countries where they don’t speak the language.

📝 Câu trả lời mẫu – Band 8-9:
That’s an interesting question, and I think it really boils down to different travel personalities and circumstances. On the one hand, organized tours appeal to people who value convenience and peace of mind above all else. For these travelers, the idea of having every detail meticulously planned out – from accommodation to transportation to activities – is actually quite appealing rather than restrictive. They can simply show up and enjoy without the mental burden of logistics and planning.
Moreover, I think there’s a significant demographic – particularly older adults or first-time international travelers – who feel more secure and confident within the structured environment of a tour group. There’s a comfort factor in knowing you have a knowledgeable guide who can navigate language barriers, handle any unexpected situations, and provide cultural context that you might miss traveling independently. This is especially relevant when visiting countries with vastly different cultures or languages.
On the other hand, from a practical standpoint, organized tours can actually be quite cost-efficient when you factor in the bulk discounts tour operators receive on hotels, attractions, and transportation. What might seem expensive upfront often represents good value when you break down all the individual components.
That being said, these tours obviously sacrifice flexibility and spontaneity – you’re very much bound by the group schedule and predetermined itinerary. But for certain people, particularly those with limited time or who find independent planning overwhelming, that trade-off is entirely worthwhile. It’s really a matter of personal priorities – whether you prioritize freedom and flexibility or convenience and structure.

Tourism in Vietnam has changed a lot in recent years. In the past, not many foreign tourists came to Vietnam, and the tourism facilities were quite basic. But now, Vietnam has become a popular destination for international tourists. The government has invested in better infrastructure like airports and hotels. Also, more Vietnamese people can afford to travel now because the economy has improved. Social media has also made Vietnamese destinations more famous around the world.

📝 Câu trả lời mẫu – Band 8-9:
Well, the transformation has been absolutely remarkable, particularly over the last two to three decades. If we wind back to the 1990s and early 2000s, Vietnam was still very much an emerging destination on the international tourism scene. We had relatively limited infrastructure, and most foreign visitors were intrepid backpackers seeking off-the-beaten-path adventures rather than mainstream tourists.
Fast forward to today, and the landscape has undergone a dramatic metamorphosis. On the infrastructure front, we’ve seen massive investment in airports, roads, and hotels, particularly in major tourist hubs like Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and coastal areas. The country now boasts world-class resorts and facilities that can rival those anywhere in Southeast Asia.
Perhaps more significantly, there’s been a fundamental shift in the profile of tourists. We’re now attracting a much more diverse demographic – from luxury travelers to adventure seekers to cultural enthusiasts. The rise of budget airlines has made Vietnam accessible to middle-class travelers from across Asia, and we’ve seen exponential growth in regional tourism, particularly from China, South Korea, and Japan.
Another notable change concerns domestic tourism. Thanks to Vietnam’s burgeoning middle class, more locals can now afford to travel within their own country, which has spurred the development of domestic tourist destinations and infrastructure. This wasn’t the case just two decades ago when domestic travel was largely a luxury rather than a common practice.
Technology has also been a game-changer. Social media has catapulted places like Ha Long Bay and Phu Quoc into global consciousness. Viral images and influencer content have put Vietnam firmly on the map as a must-visit destination. The flip side, of course, is that some popular spots are now grappling with overtourism issues, which is something we barely had to contend with in the past.

Question 4: Do you think tourism always benefits local communities?
🎯 Phân tích câu hỏi:
- Dạng: Opinion với evaluation (đánh giá hai mặt)
- Key words: “always” → từ absolute này suggest cần balanced view
- Cách tiếp cận: Disagree với “always” → discuss both benefits and drawbacks → nuanced conclusion. Show critical thinking về complexity của issue.
📝 Sample Answer – Band 6-7:
I don’t think tourism always benefits local communities. While it brings economic benefits like jobs and income, it can also cause problems. For example, tourism can make living costs increase, especially housing prices, which makes it difficult for local people. Also, too many tourists can damage the environment and local culture. Some famous places become too crowded and lose their original character. So, I think the benefits depend on how tourism is managed.
Phân tích:
- Structure: Clear position (don’t always benefit) → benefits → drawbacks → conclusion
- Vocabulary: Basic (“economic benefits”, “make living costs increase”, “too crowded”)
- Ideas: Relevant points (jobs, cost of living, environment, culture) nhưng not deeply explored
- Tại sho Band 6-7: Addresses question appropriately với both sides mentioned. Ideas logical và relevant. Vocabulary adequate but lacks sophistication. Grammar simple but accurate. Missing specific examples và deeper analysis.
📝 Câu trả lời mẫu – Band 8-9:
I’d have to say no – the reality is far more nuanced than that. While tourism certainly has the potential to bring substantial benefits to local communities, whether it actually does so depends heavily on how it’s managed and regulated.
On the positive side, when done right, tourism can be a powerful economic engine. It creates employment opportunities, stimulates local businesses, and can inject much-needed capital into underdeveloped regions. We’ve seen countless examples of communities being lifted out of poverty through sustainable tourism initiatives. Take, for instance, the homestay programs in Vietnam’s rural areas – these have enabled local families to generate income while preserving their traditional way of life.
However, the flip side is equally important to consider. Uncontrolled tourism can actually be quite detrimental. We’re seeing this play out in many popular destinations where mass tourism has led to what’s called “overtourism.” This manifests in several ways: skyrocketing property prices that price out locals, environmental degradation, cultural commodification where authentic traditions are reduced to mere performances for tourists, and strain on local infrastructure and resources.
Venice is a prime example – the city has essentially been hollowed out, with locals forced to relocate due to impossible living costs and the city essentially becoming a museum for tourists rather than a living community. Closer to home, places like Ha Long Bay have had to grapple with significant environmental damage from excessive tourism.
What’s crucial, I believe, is striking a balance through thoughtful planning and sustainable practices. This means implementing measures like tourist caps, ensuring that tourism revenue actually flows back to local communities rather than being siphoned off by large corporations, and preserving the authentic character of places rather than over-commercializing them. Tourism should enhance local communities, not overwhelm them.

📝 Sample Answer – Band 6-7:
I think travel habits will change a lot in the future. First, technology will make travel easier – maybe we’ll use more apps to plan trips and virtual reality to preview destinations. Second, people will probably care more about sustainable travel because of environmental concerns. Also, I think more people will work remotely, so they can travel while working. Finally, travel might become more expensive due to environmental taxes, so people might travel less frequently but for longer periods.

📝 Câu trả lời mẫu – Band 8-9:
That’s a fascinating question, and I think we’re on the cusp of some quite significant shifts in how people travel. Based on current trends, I’d venture to say that several factors will reshape the travel landscape.
First and foremost, I believe we’ll see a decisive move towards more sustainable and eco-conscious travel. Climate change is no longer an abstract concept – it’s hitting home for many people, and there’s growing awareness that tourism has a substantial carbon footprint. As a result, I predict we’ll see more travelers opting for slow travel – taking fewer but longer trips, choosing trains over planes for regional journeys, and seeking out eco-certified accommodations and operators. Some countries might even implement carbon quotas for travelers or significantly higher taxes on flights, which could fundamentally alter travel patterns.
Technology is another game-changer that’s poised to revolutionize travel. Beyond the obvious advances like AI-powered personalized itineraries and seamless booking experiences, I think we’ll see some really transformative innovations. Virtual and augmented reality might partially satisfy people’s wanderlust without actual travel – imagine virtually exploring a museum or historical site with such realistic immersion that it serves as a genuine alternative for some trips. On the flip side, technology might also enable forms of travel we can’t yet imagine – perhaps supersonic flights making long-distance travel more feasible for weekend trips.
The remote work revolution is already beginning to reshape travel patterns, and I think this trend will accelerate. The traditional rigid demarcation between “work time” and “vacation time” is blurring. We’re seeing the emergence of digital nomads who blend work and travel, spending months in different locations rather than taking traditional two-week vacations. This could lead to a dispersion of tourism away from traditional peak seasons and honeypot destinations, which might actually help alleviate overtourism issues.
From a demographic perspective, the aging population in developed countries will likely drive demand for more accessible and comfortable travel options – think cruise ships and all-inclusive resorts with medical facilities. Conversely, the rising middle class in Asia and Africa will create massive new markets for tourism, potentially shifting the balance of where tourism revenue flows.
That said, I should mention that predicting the future is inherently uncertain. We’ve learned from the pandemic that unforeseen events can upend our assumptions overnight. What seemed like unstoppable growth in tourism came to a grinding halt, and some changes from that period – like increased hygiene consciousness or preference for outdoor activities – may prove permanent shifts in travel behavior.

Question 6: What role should governments play in developing tourism?
🎯 Phân tích câu hỏi:
- Dạng: Opinion về role of government (vai trò chính phủ)
- Key words: “should play”, “developing tourism” → discuss responsibilities and actions
- Cách tiếp cận: Identify different roles (regulation, investment, sustainability, cultural preservation). Balance development with protection. Provide examples of good/bad government policies.
📝 Sample Answer – Band 6-7:
I think governments have an important role in tourism development. They should invest in infrastructure like roads, airports, and tourist facilities to attract more visitors. They also need to make rules to protect the environment and local culture from negative impacts of tourism. Additionally, governments should promote their country abroad through marketing campaigns. However, they should balance economic benefits with protecting local communities and nature.

- Tại sao Band 6-7: Addresses question với appropriate points. Structure logical. Ideas relevant nhưng lack depth and specific examples. Vocabulary adequate but basic. Grammar simple but accurate.
📝 Câu trả lời mẫu – Band 8-9:
I’d argue that governments have a multifaceted and crucial role to play, though it’s important they strike the right balance between facilitation and over-intervention.
First and foremost, governments should act as strategic planners and regulators. This means developing comprehensive tourism strategies that take into account not just economic benefits but also environmental sustainability and social impact. They need to establish and enforce regulations that prevent overtourism, protect natural and cultural heritage, and ensure that tourism development doesn’t come at the expense of local communities. For instance, implementing tourist caps in fragile ecosystems like pristine beaches or historical sites, or mandating that a certain percentage of tourism revenue be reinvested in conservation efforts.
On the infrastructure front, government investment is often indispensable, particularly in developing countries. Private sector operators might be reluctant to invest in areas with insufficient infrastructure, creating a chicken-and-egg situation. By building essential infrastructure – reliable transportation networks, adequate sanitation systems, and necessary tourist facilities – governments can unlock the tourism potential of previously inaccessible regions. However, this must be done thoughtfully to avoid white elephant projects that ultimately prove unsustainable.
Equally important is the government’s role in capacity building and education. They should equip local communities with the skills and knowledge to participate meaningfully in the tourism sector, rather than being mere spectators while benefits accrue to outside investors. This includes vocational training programs, language education, and promoting awareness of sustainable tourism practices among both operators and tourists.
Marketing and promotion is another area where government involvement makes sense. National tourism boards can pool resources to market the country as a destination far more effectively than individual businesses could. However, this marketing should be authentic and responsible, not overselling destinations or creating unrealistic expectations.
Crucially, I believe governments must also play a protective role – safeguarding against exploitation, whether that’s preventing overdevelopment of sensitive areas, ensuring fair labor practices in the tourism industry, or protecting indigenous communities from cultural appropriation and displacement.
That being said, governments should be careful not to stifle innovation and entrepreneurship through excessive bureaucracy or over-regulation. The goal should be to create an enabling environment where sustainable tourism can flourish, rather than controlling every aspect. It’s a delicate balancing act – providing guidance and guardrails while allowing enough flexibility for the private sector to innovate and respond to market demands.

Chiến lược trả lời hiệu quả từ góc nhìn Examiner
Sau hơn 20 năm chấm thi IELTS Speaking, tôi nhận thấy có những patterns rõ ràng phân biệt thí sinh band 6-7 và band 8-9. Dưới đây là những insights quan trọng:
Những Điều Examiner Thực Sự Chú Ý
1. Naturalness (Tính tự nhiên)
Examiner có thể nhận biết ngay khi bạn đang recite một đoạn văn đã học thuộc. Điều họ muốn nghe là:
- Pauses tự nhiên để suy nghĩ (không phải silent pauses mà là “Well…”, “Let me think…”)
- Self-corrections nhẹ nhàng (thể hiện bạn đang formulate thoughts real-time)
- Varied sentence length và structure (không phải tất cả câu đều perfect)
- Emotional engagement với topic (tone of voice changes)
Ví dụ câu tự nhiên:
“Well, that road trip was… how can I put it… absolutely transformative. I mean, we’d been planning it for months, but nothing quite prepared us for how special it would turn out to be.”
2. Lexical Resource Beyond Vocabulary Lists
Band 8-9 candidates không chỉ biết nhiều từ – họ biết cách sử dụng:
- Collocations correctly: “strike a balance”, “grapple with”, “at the mercy of”
- Idiomatic expressions naturally: “hit the road”, “on the fly”, “at the crack of dawn”
- Paraphrasing effectively: Không lặp lại cùng một từ (“beautiful” → “stunning” → “breathtaking” → “mesmerizing”)
- Register appropriately: Formal vs informal language tùy context
3. Grammatical Range – It’s About Variety, Not Just Complexity
Không phải càng nhiều complex sentences càng tốt. Examiner muốn thấy:
- Mix của simple, compound, và complex sentences
- Various tenses used accurately (especially in Part 2 storytelling)
- Passive voice for variety
- Conditionals để speculate
- Participle clauses để add information smoothly
4. Ideas và Critical Thinking
Đây là điều phân biệt lớn nhất ở Part 3:
- Band 6-7: Ideas logical nhưng predictable, surface-level
- Band 8-9: Ideas insightful, showing depth of thinking, acknowledging complexity
Ví dụ Band 6-7:
“Tourism is good for the economy because it creates jobs.”
Ví dụ Band 8-9:
“While tourism certainly generates employment, it’s worth considering whether these jobs are actually beneficial for locals. Often, they’re low-paid, seasonal positions, and the real profits end up with large corporations rather than community members. So the economic impact is more nuanced than simple job creation.”
Common Mistakes của học viên Việt Nam và Cách Khắc Phục
1. Over-preparing và Sounding Robotic
Vấn đề: Học thuộc entire answers và recite mechanically
Solution:
- Chỉ prepare ideas và keywords, không phải full sentences
- Practice với different wordings mỗi lần
- Record yourself và listen – có sounds natural không?
- Focus vào meaning và communication, không phải perfection
2. Vocabulary Show-off Không Phù Hợp
Vấn đề: Dùng từ vựng quá academic hoặc không phù hợp context
Ví dụ sai: “The road trip facilitated interpersonal bonding among participants.”
Nên nói: “The road trip really brought us closer together.”
Solution:
- Learn từ vựng trong context (collocations, typical usage)
- Ưu tiên precision over complexity
- Biết khi nào nên dùng informal expressions
3. Thiếu Elaboration ở Part 3
Vấn đề: Trả lời ngắn gọn không develop ideas
Ví dụ câu trả lời yếu:
“Yes, I think tourism is important because it helps the economy.”
Cách develop:
“Yes, I’d say tourism plays a crucial role in many economies. [Direct answer] Take Vietnam, for instance – it accounts for a significant portion of our GDP. [Example] Beyond the obvious income, it creates employment opportunities across various sectors, from hospitality to transportation. [Elaboration] That said, we need to ensure this economic benefit is sustainable and doesn’t come at the expense of environmental or cultural preservation. [Balanced view]“
4. Grammar Mistakes Lặp Đi Lặp Lại
Common errors:
- Article errors: “I went to beach” → “I went to the beach”
- Preposition: “depend of” → “depend on”
- Singular/Plural: “many tourist” → “many tourists”
- Word form: “It was a forgettable trip” (muốn nói unforgettable)
Solution:
- Identify your personal pattern của errors
- Conscious practice với những structures bạn thường sai
- Self-correction during practice (not during actual test)
5. Pronunciation Issues
Common Vietnamese speaker issues:
- Word stress: “PHOtograph” vs “phoTOgraphy” vs “photoGRAPHic”
- Final consonants: “road” không phải “roa”
- Vowel sounds: “ship” vs “sheep”
Solution:
- Mimic native speakers (shadowing technique)
- Record và compare với native pronunciation
- Focus on word stress và sentence stress
- Practice connected speech (linking words)
Lộ Trình Chuẩn Bị Hiệu Quả

Tips Cho Ngày Thi
Before the test:
- Arrive 30 minutes early
- Don’t cram vocabulary phút cuối
- Stay hydrated nhưng không uống quá nhiều
- Warm up voice của bạn (có thể talk to yourself lightly)
During the test:
- Part 1: Be friendly, natural, smile. Treat it like a conversation.
- Part 2: Use full 1 minute prep time. Speak for at least 1.5-2 minutes.
- Part 3: Take a moment to think before answering. It’s okay to say “That’s an interesting question…” để buy time.
- If you don’t understand a question, ask for clarification: “Sorry, could you rephrase that?”
- Don’t panic nếu bạn make a mistake – self-correct nếu bạn realize ngay, otherwise keep going
What to do if you get nervous:
- Take a deep breath
- Remember: examiner muốn bạn succeed, họ không phải enemy
- Focus on communication, không phải perfection
- Slow down pace nếu cần – better accurate than fast and messy
What NOT to do:
- Memorized answers (examiners WILL notice)
- Give up nếu bạn don’t know a word – paraphrase!
- Speak too softly – clear pronunciation matters
- Interrupt examiner
Chủ đề “describe a memorable road trip” là một trong những đề tài tuyệt vời để showcase khả năng kể chuyện và sử dụng ngôn ngữ miêu tả của bạn. Với preparation đúng cách, vocabulary phong phú, và confidence trong delivery, bạn hoàn toàn có thể đạt band điểm mong muốn.
Hãy nhớ rằng IELTS Speaking không phải về việc nói “perfectly” – nó về việc communicate effectively và naturally. Practice regularly, learn from feedback, và đừng ngại express your personality trong bài thi. Good luck!
