I think children as young as years old begin forming their own views For example, they would ask their parents for their favourite food and refuse to eat any kind of food they don’t like This stage is also very important in the development of children’s personal traits If their parents are overprotective and give in to anything the children want, they may end up spoiling their own children rotten Do children have strong opinions? It depends Normally, children not have strong and well-developed opinions due to the lack of knowledge and experience they have However, some child prodigies, or children raised in an environment that stimulates their critical thinking skills, surprise many people with their welldeveloped opinions For example, the arguments of Greta Thunberg astonished many people around the world, even politicians, when she was just a 15-year-old school girl Should parents request their kids to obey them? Obedience has always been a topic of debate in society I would say that I not agree parents should request their kids to obey them all the time But instead, they should instruct their children in a flexible and constructive manner This is because forcing children to be obedient may causes them to be always reliant on their parents and prevent them from developing their own decisionmaking skills, which may lead to many negative consequences in the future In what industries you think communication is a necessary skill? I believe service industries, such as hospitality, tourism, education, to name but a few, require communication skills the most as employees in these fields have to directly deal with their clients Teachers won’t be able to transmit knowledge effectively if they are unable to deploy different communication skills, including concision and precision, in class In the hospitality industry, being unable to deal with issues that guests encounter may cause lots of difficulties to a front desk agent + Thơng tin khóa học Package online: https://ieltsngocbach.com/package + Thông tin sách NgocBach, đăng ký code vip ieltsngocbach.com https://ngocbach.com/ + Hotline tư vấn đăng ký học: 0974657403 (email tư vấn: ieltsbach1707@gmail.com) 15 Vocabulary Spoil sb rotten (idiom): nuông chiều mức Example: The children are spoiled rotten by their grandparents Những đứa trẻ ông bà nuông chiều mức Astonish (v): làm bất ngờ Example: I was astonished by how much she'd grown Tôi vô bất ngờ thấy cô lớn nhiều Child prodigy (n): thần đồng Example: A child prodigy, he made his first professional tour as a pianist at the age of six Là thần đồng, anh có tour diễn piano chuyên nghiệp vừa sáu tuổi 50 Describe a special cake you received from others You should say: When it happened Where it happened Who you got the cake from And explain why it’s a special cake (When it happened) Last year, I went on a Da Lat trip with my ex-boyfriend to Da Lat, which is one of the most popular mountain retreats for those residing in Ho Chi Minh City It just so happened that I stayed at a local 5-star resort right on my birthday It is one of the best birthdays I’d ever had in my life (Where it happened) When the front desk agent checked me and my boyfriend in, she greeted us and requested to scan my ID Card The front desk agent could have probably seen my birthday then and told other staff to get a birthday cake for me Upon arrival at my room, I saw a wellprepared birthday cake and some other birthday decorations like balloons + Thơng tin khóa học Package online: https://ieltsngocbach.com/package + Thơng tin sách NgocBach, đăng ký code vip ieltsngocbach.com https://ngocbach.com/ + Hotline tư vấn đăng ký học: 0974657403 (email tư vấn: ieltsbach1707@gmail.com) 16 (Who you got the cake from) Honestly, I totally didn’t expect such a surprise birthday cake from this resort It was also my first stay there, not a loyal member Then, I realised that my ex was a loyal member of the resort so he made use of his membership privileges to get the cake for me (And explain why it’s a special cake) When I ate the first slice of the cake, I quickly realised it was unsweetened! I was like: “Really, babe?” and at a loss for words before recalling that my ex was allergic to sugar That was the first, and probably the last, unsweetened cake I’d ever eaten in my life It was so disgusting that I couldn’t eat another slice Sadly, just some months after that very trip, we broke up But I was truly happy that he and the hotel staff team made my 22nd birthday so memorable Vocabulary Retreat (n): nơi nghỉ dưỡng Example: a country/mountain/lakeside retreat Một nơi nghỉ dưỡng nông thôn/miền vúi/ven hồ It just so happens that (phrase): dùng để nói việc có thật mang tính bất ngờ Example: It just so happens that I have a bike I can lend you Khá bất ngờ tơi có xe cho bạn mượn Make use of (phrase): sử dụng Example: We might as well make use of the hotel's facilities Chúng ta sử dụng thiết bị khách sạn To be at a loss (idiom): cạn lời, khơng biết nói Example: It was unlike him to be at a loss for words Nó khơng giống khơng nói nên lời Disgusting (adj): tởm lợm Example: Passengers were kept for three hours in a disgusting waiting room Hành khách phải đợi tận tiếng phòng chờ thật tởm lợm + Thơng tin khóa học Package online: https://ieltsngocbach.com/package + Thông tin sách NgocBach, đăng ký code vip ieltsngocbach.com https://ngocbach.com/ + Hotline tư vấn đăng ký học: 0974657403 (email tư vấn: ieltsbach1707@gmail.com) 17 PART What are the differences between the special food in Vietnam and foreign countries? Vietnamese delicacies have the uniqueness that cannot be found anywhere else It is full of natural spices, like cinnamon, cloves, and various kinds of herbs Also, Vietnamese foods are pretty healthy as they are high in fiber thanks to the use of many different types of vegetables Vietnamese foods are pretty much soup-based such as pho, beef noodles, while food from other countries tends to be used without broth Do people usually cook special food in Vietnam? Yes, we cook special food mostly for dinner and breakfast Vietnamese mothers are pretty much hardworking and willing to invest some more time in preparing good food for their families Besides, we also cook special food on special occasions like birthdays or traditional feasts or festivals Should special food be easily available? I believe that special food should be easily available Lots of people would say that the wide availability of such food can make it less special But I think that if delicacies are widely available, people, especially tourists, will have more chances to enjoy them, which is definitely an effective way to introduce the delicacies to the world and put Vietnamese food on the map Vocabulary Delicacy (n): đặc sản Example: a dinner of Vietnamese delicacies Một bữa tối với đặc sản Việt Nam To put something on the map (n): làm tiếng Example: The governor has managed to put this sleepy state on the map Ngài thống đống cố gắng làm cho bang tiếng + Thông tin khóa học Package online: https://ieltsngocbach.com/package + Thơng tin sách NgocBach, đăng ký code vip ieltsngocbach.com https://ngocbach.com/ + Hotline tư vấn đăng ký học: 0974657403 (email tư vấn: ieltsbach1707@gmail.com) 18 + Thơng tin khóa học Package online: https://ieltsngocbach.com/package + Thông tin sách NgocBach, đăng ký code vip ieltsngocbach.com https://ngocbach.com/ + Hotline tư vấn đăng ký học: 0974657403 (email tư vấn: ieltsbach1707@gmail.com) 19 ... https://ieltsngocbach.com/package + Thông tin sách NgocBach, đăng ký code vip ieltsngocbach.com https:/ /ngocbach. com/ + Hotline tư vấn đăng ký học: 0974657403 (email tư vấn: ieltsbach1707@gmail.com) 11 ... https://ieltsngocbach.com/package + Thông tin sách NgocBach, đăng ký code vip ieltsngocbach.com https:/ /ngocbach. com/ + Hotline tư vấn đăng ký học: 0974657403 (email tư vấn: ieltsbach1707@gmail.com) 10 ... https://ieltsngocbach.com/package + Thông tin sách NgocBach, đăng ký code vip ieltsngocbach.com https:/ /ngocbach. com/ + Hotline tư vấn đăng ký học: 0974657403 (email tư vấn: ieltsbach1707@gmail.com) 12
