📝 Sample Answer – Band 6-7
Thời lượng: Khoảng 1.5-2 phút
“I’d like to talk about a time last year when I had problems with my Facebook account. This happened when I was at home during the COVID lockdown.
One day, I noticed that my Facebook account was posting strange messages that I didn’t write. Some of my friends messaged me asking if I was okay because the posts were very unusual. I was shocked and worried that someone had hacked my account. I also saw that my account was sending friend requests to people I didn’t know.
I immediately changed my password to a stronger one with numbers and symbols. I also logged out of Facebook on all devices that I had used before. Then I checked my security settings and saw that someone from another country had accessed my account. I enabled two-step verification to make my account safer. I also posted a message to tell my friends that my account had been hacked and they should ignore the strange posts.
This experience really changed how I use social media. Now I’m much more careful about my passwords. I use different passwords for different accounts and I change them regularly. I also don’t click on suspicious links that people send me. I learned that we need to be very careful with our personal information online because hackers are everywhere. This experience taught me that online security is very important and we shouldn’t be careless about it.”

📝 Sample Answer – Band 7.5-8
Thời lượng: Khoảng 2-2.5 phút
“I’d like to share an experience I had about a year ago that really opened my eyes to the importance of online privacy. This incident occurred while I was working from home during the pandemic.
One morning, I woke up to find several alarming notifications on my phone. Apparently, my Facebook account had been compromised overnight. The hacker had posted some bizarre promotional content on my timeline and had been sending spam messages to my contacts. What concerned me most was that they seemed to have access to my personal photos and private conversations.
My immediate reaction was to secure the account as quickly as possible. I reset my password using a much stronger combination of characters, and I made sure to log out of all active sessions across different devices. After regaining control, I enabled two-factor authentication, which I’d been putting off for months. I also ran a security check to see where the breach had occurred – it turned out someone had accessed my account from an IP address in Eastern Europe. Additionally, I posted a public warning to inform my friends about the hack and advise them to ignore any suspicious messages from my account.
This experience fundamentally changed my approach to online security. I became much more proactive rather than reactive. Now I use a password manager to generate and store complex, unique passwords for each platform. I’m also far more skeptical about third-party apps requesting access to my social media accounts. Perhaps most importantly, I regularly audit my privacy settings and I’ve become more selective about what personal information I share online. Looking back, although it was a stressful ordeal, it served as a valuable wake-up call about the vulnerabilities we face in the digital world.”

📝 Sample Answer – Band 8.5-9
Thời lượng: 2.5-3 phút đầy đủ
“I’d like to recount a rather unsettling experience I encountered roughly eighteen months ago, which profoundly shifted my perspective on digital privacy and data security. This incident unfolded while I was staying at home during the height of the pandemic, when most of our lives had migrated online.
It all began on an ordinary Tuesday morning when I received a barrage of notifications indicating unauthorized access to my Facebook account. What made this particularly disconcerting was that the perpetrator wasn’t just posting random spam – they’d actually been impersonating me, sending messages to my contacts and even attempting to solicit money from some close friends under various pretexts. The sophistication of the attack was quite alarming; they’d clearly done their homework, using information from my profile to make their requests seem legitimate.
My response was swift but methodical. First, I immediately severed all active sessions and revoked access to any third-party applications that might have been the entry point for this breach. I then implemented a far more robust security protocol, including biometric authentication and app-specific passwords. What really troubled me, though, was trying to understand how the breach had occurred in the first place. After some digital forensics, I discovered I’d fallen victim to a sophisticated phishing scheme – I’d inadvertently clicked on what appeared to be a legitimate link in an email that was expertly crafted to look like it came from Facebook’s security team.
The ramifications of this incident extended far beyond just fixing my compromised account. It catalyzed a complete overhaul of my digital habits. I now maintain a much more skeptical mindset toward unsolicited communications, no matter how authentic they appear. I’ve also become something of an advocate for digital literacy among my family and friends, often sharing cautionary tales and best practices for online safety. Perhaps most significantly, this experience made me realize how much of our digital footprint we take for granted and how vulnerable we actually are to malicious actors. It’s not about paranoia, but rather about informed caution – understanding that in the interconnected digital ecosystem we inhabit, our privacy and security require constant vigilance. While it was undoubtedly a harrowing experience, I consider it an invaluable lesson that’s made me a far more conscientious digital citizen.”

Follow-up Questions (Rounding Off Questions)
Examiner có thể hỏi thêm 1-2 câu ngắn sau Part 2 để transition sang Part 3:
Question 1: Do you think this could happen to anyone?
Band 6-7 Answer:
“Yes, I think so. Many people use weak passwords or click on dangerous links without thinking. Anyone can be a victim of hackers.”
Band 8-9 Answer:
“Absolutely. I think we’re all potentially vulnerable, especially as cybercriminals are becoming increasingly sophisticated in their methods. The key difference is whether you’re taking proactive measures to minimize your risk exposure or simply being reactive after an incident occurs.”
💡 Key differences: “potentially vulnerable” vs “victim”, “cybercriminals” vs “hackers”, “minimize risk exposure” vs “be careful”
Question 2: Would you recommend others to use two-factor authentication?
Band 6-7 Answer:
“Yes, definitely. It makes your accounts much safer because hackers need two things to get in, not just a password.”
Band 8-9 Answer:
“I would strongly advocate for it, actually. While it might seem like a minor inconvenience at first, the added layer of security it provides is invaluable. In my view, it’s one of the most straightforward yet effective measures we can take to safeguard our digital identity.”
💡 Key differences: “strongly advocate” vs “recommend”, “minor inconvenience” vs “annoying”, “safeguard our digital identity” vs “make accounts safer”

Các Câu Hỏi Thảo Luận Sâu
Theme 1: Social Impact of Privacy Issues
Question 1: Why do you think online privacy has become such a major concern in recent years?
🎯 Phân tích câu hỏi:
- Dạng: Cause analysis – tại sao một phenomenon xảy ra
- Key words: “major concern”, “recent years” – cần explain reasons và context
- Cách tiếp cận: Đưa ra 2-3 main reasons với examples, có thể đề cập historical context
📝 Sample Answer – Band 6-7:
“I think there are several reasons. First, more people are using the internet now, so there is more personal information online. Second, we hear more news about hackers stealing data from big companies. Also, social media companies collect a lot of our information and sell it to advertisers. People are worried that their private information is not safe anymore.”
Phân tích:
- Structure: Có list reasons rõ ràng (First, Second, Also)
- Vocabulary: Basic nhưng adequate (steal data, collect information, private information)
- Tại sao Band 6-7: Clear communication với relevant ideas nhưng lacks depth và sophisticated language
📝 Câu trả lời mẫu – Band 8-9:
“Well, I think this growing concern stems from several interconnected factors. Firstly, we’ve witnessed a dramatic proliferation of data breaches in recent years – hardly a month goes by without news of another major corporation being compromised, whether it’s Facebook, or various financial institutions. These incidents have really brought the issue to the forefront of public consciousness.
Secondly, there’s been increasing awareness about how our data is being monetized behind the scenes. People are beginning to realize that they’re essentially the product when using ‘free’ services – their behavioral data is being harvested and sold to advertisers and third parties. The Cambridge Analytica scandal, for instance, was a real watershed moment that exposed the extent to which our personal information could be exploited for political purposes.
Finally, I’d say the pervasiveness of technology in our lives has made the stakes much higher. We’re no longer just sharing our email addresses; we’re uploading our biometric data, our location history, our financial information – essentially our entire digital footprint. The potential consequences of a privacy breach are therefore far more severe than they were a decade ago.”
Phân tích:
- Structure: Perfect organization với clear signposting (Firstly, Secondly, Finally), mỗi point có development và example
- Vocabulary: Highly sophisticated (proliferation, monetized, watershed moment, pervasiveness, biometric data), precise technical terms
- Grammar: Complex structures (hardly a month goes by without…, whether it’s…, essentially the product when using…), passive constructions (is being harvested and sold)
- Critical Thinking: Shows deep understanding với specific example (Cambridge Analytica), acknowledges historical progression (no longer just… essentially entire digital footprint)
💡 Key Language Features:
- Discourse markers: “Well”, “for instance”, “Finally, I’d say”
- Tentative language: “I think”, “essentially”
- Abstract nouns: “proliferation”, “consciousness”, “pervasiveness”, “consequences”
- Academic collocations: “interconnected factors”, “brought to the forefront”, “watershed moment”
Question 2: Do you think governments should have stricter regulations on how companies collect and use personal data?
🎯 Phân tích câu hỏi:
- Dạng: Opinion + Should – về policy và regulation
- Key words: “stricter regulations”, “companies”, “personal data”
- Cách tiếp cận: Clear opinion → reasons supporting → acknowledge counter-argument/challenges → conclusion
📝 Sample Answer – Band 6-7:
“Yes, I think governments should make stricter laws. Many companies collect too much information and don’t tell users clearly. Sometimes they sell our data without permission. If there are stronger regulations, companies will be more careful and protect user privacy better. However, it might be difficult to enforce these laws because technology changes very fast.”
Phân tích:
- Structure: Has opinion + reason + counter-point, adequate organization
- Vocabulary: Basic (stricter laws, collect information, protect privacy)
- Tại sao Band 6-7: Communicates main ideas clearly nhưng lacks nuance và sophisticated expression
📝 Câu trả lời mẫu – Band 8-9:
“I would strongly argue in favor of more stringent regulations, actually. The current regulatory framework in many countries is simply not keeping pace with the rapid evolution of technology. Companies have been operating in what’s essentially a legal gray area, where they can collect vast amounts of data with minimal accountability.
That said, I think we need to strike a careful balance. Overly restrictive regulations could stifle innovation and hinder the development of beneficial technologies. What we need is smart regulation – legislation that protects consumers’ fundamental rights while still allowing companies the flexibility to innovate. The EU’s GDPR is quite a good benchmark in this regard – it mandates transparency, gives users meaningful control over their data, and imposes substantial penalties for violations.
However, the real challenge lies in enforcement and ensuring cross-border cooperation. Data flows across national boundaries, so regulations need to be internationally coordinated to be truly effective. We also need to invest in digital literacy so that individuals can make informed decisions about their privacy – regulation alone isn’t a silver bullet.”
Phân tích:
- Structure: Opinion → Reasoning → Balance/Nuance → Challenge → Conclusion, showing sophisticated thinking
- Vocabulary: Advanced (stringent, regulatory framework, legal gray area, accountability, stifle innovation)
- Grammar: Complex conditionals (could stifle), relative clauses (legislation that protects…), participle clauses
- Critical Thinking: Acknowledges both sides (need regulation BUT also flexibility), provides specific example (GDPR), identifies implementation challenges, offers holistic solution (regulation + education)
💡 Key Language Features:
- Discourse markers: “That said”, “However”, “in this regard”
- Hedging: “I would argue”, “quite a good benchmark”, “need to”
- Abstract expressions: “strike a careful balance”, “silver bullet”, “keeping pace with”
- Sophisticated collocations: “stifle innovation”, “cross-border cooperation”, “digital literacy”
Theme 2: Individual Responsibility vs Corporate Responsibility
Question 3: Some people say individuals should take more responsibility for protecting their own privacy online. What’s your view on this?
🎯 Phân tích câu hỏi:
- Dạng: Opinion about shared responsibility
- Key words: “individuals”, “responsibility”, “protecting privacy”
- Cách tiếp cận: Acknowledge the statement → Present balanced view → Examples → Conclusion
📝 Sample Answer – Band 6-7:
“I partly agree with this. People should be careful about what they share online and use strong passwords. But I also think companies should help protect users because many people don’t understand technology very well. For example, my parents don’t know much about privacy settings. So both individuals and companies need to work together to keep data safe.”
Phân tích:
- Structure: Has balanced view (partly agree), provides example
- Vocabulary: Basic but relevant (be careful, strong passwords, privacy settings)
- Tại sao Band 6-7: Shows some ability to discuss both sides nhưng lacks depth
📝 Câu trả lời mẫu – Band 8.5-9:
“Well, I think this is actually a false dichotomy – it’s not really an either/or situation. While I agree that individual vigilance is important, I don’t think we can place the burden entirely on users, particularly when we’re dealing with increasingly sophisticated threats and deliberately opaque privacy policies.
On the one hand, individuals certainly have a role to play. Basic cyber hygiene – using unique passwords, being wary of phishing attempts, regularly reviewing app permissions – these are all within the average person’s capability. And I think we need better digital literacy education starting from schools to equip people with these fundamental skills.
However, there’s a significant power imbalance here that we can’t ignore. Companies have entire teams of engineers and lawyers designing systems that are deliberately complex and user-unfriendly when it comes to privacy. They’re employing what’s called dark patterns – interface designs that manipulate users into sharing more data than they intend to. Expecting the average user to navigate these deliberately confusing systems is, frankly, unrealistic.
I’d argue that companies should be held to a much higher standard of accountability. They’re the ones profiting from data collection; they should bear the primary responsibility for safeguarding it. Default settings should prioritize privacy, consent should be genuinely informed, and opt-out should be as easy as opt-in. Ultimately, it’s about creating an ecosystem where privacy protection doesn’t require users to be cybersecurity experts.”
Phân tích:
- Structure: Challenges the premise → Individual responsibility → Corporate responsibility with power dynamics → Conclusion với practical solutions
- Vocabulary: Exceptional (false dichotomy, cyber hygiene, power imbalance, dark patterns, ecosystem)
- Grammar: Full range (While I agree that…, doesn’t require users to be…, They’re the ones profiting…)
- Critical Thinking: Questions the question itself, introduces concept của dark patterns, discusses systemic issues rather than just individual actions
💡 Advanced Features:
- Sophisticated argumentation: “false dichotomy”, challenges underlying assumption
- Technical terminology: “dark patterns”, “cyber hygiene”, “opt-in/opt-out”
- Persuasive language: “frankly, unrealistic”, “deliberately confusing”
- Systemic thinking: Discusses power dynamics và structural problems
Theme 3: Future Trends and Technology
Question 4: How do you think privacy concerns might change in the future with new technologies like artificial intelligence?
🎯 Phân tích câu hỏi:
- Dạng: Future prediction/speculation về technology impact
- Key words: “future”, “new technologies”, “artificial intelligence”
- Cách tiếp cận: Current situation → Future trends/predictions → Potential challenges → Possible solutions
📝 Sample Answer – Band 7-8:
“I think privacy concerns will become even bigger in the future. AI can analyze huge amounts of data about people’s behavior, so companies will know more about us than ever before. For example, AI can predict what we want to buy or even how we’re feeling. This is quite scary because our private thoughts and preferences might not be private anymore.
Also, technologies like facial recognition could be used to track people everywhere they go. While this might help with security, it could also mean less freedom for individuals. I think we’ll need very careful regulations about how these technologies are used, otherwise we might lose our privacy completely.”
Phán tích:
- Structure: Clear progression from present to future, examples provided
- Vocabulary: Good range (analyze, predict, facial recognition, regulations)
- Tại sao Band 7-8: Shows ability to speculate với supporting examples, some abstract thinking
📝 Câu trả lời mẫu – Band 8.5-9:
“I think we’re standing at a critical juncture where the nature of privacy itself is being fundamentally redefined. With AI and machine learning, we’re moving beyond simple data collection toward predictive profiling and behavioral inference – systems that don’t just know what we’ve done, but can anticipate what we’re likely to do, sometimes before we’re even consciously aware of it ourselves. This raises unprecedented ethical questions.
The proliferation of IoT devices means we’re generating continuous streams of data from our homes, our bodies, our movements. When this is fed into AI systems, the potential for granular surveillance is quite staggering. We could see the emergence of algorithmic discrimination, where AI makes decisions about creditworthiness, employability, or even insurance premiums based on pattern recognition that may encode existing biases or make inferences that individuals have no way of challenging or understanding.
What concerns me particularly is the concept of data persistence in an AI era. Information that seems innocuous today could be reanalyzed and recontextualized years later using more sophisticated algorithms, potentially resurfacing to affect people’s lives in unpredictable ways. We’ve seen inklings of this with facial recognition systems being applied to historical photos or social media posts from decades ago.
However, I’m not entirely pessimistic. I think we might also see the emergence of privacy-enhancing technologies – things like federated learning, where AI models can be trained without centralizing sensitive data, or differential privacy techniques that allow for useful data analysis while preserving individual anonymity. The question is whether technological solutions can keep pace with technological threats, and whether we’ll have the regulatory frameworks and political will to ensure these protective technologies are actually implemented at scale.
Ultimately, I suspect the future will require us to reconceptualize what privacy means – moving from secrecy toward transparency and control, where the focus is less on preventing data collection entirely and more on ensuring meaningful consent, purpose limitation, and accountability for how data is used.”
