Trang 1IELTS Speaking: if you don't know the answer
How has technology affected the kinds of music that young people listen to?
My answer, using both tips above:
(1) To be honest I don't really know the answer to that because I'm completely out of touch with what young people are listening to, and I'm not a fan of pop music
(2) However, I suppose that technology must have affected music Maybe young people are listening to music that has been made using computer software instead
of real musical instruments like the piano or guitar
PLACES
1 Describe an interesting historic place
I would like to tell you about an historic place, which is a Buddhist temple situated
in Bac Ninh province in the northern part of Vietnam I'm not sure when this temple was built, but it was known as the oldest temple of our country So I guess
it should have at least 600 years old
This temple is quite small with the specific antique architecture Inside the temple
we can see the statue of Buddha and the different gods It is a very popular place for residents and foreign tourists because it is believed that miracles will happen when you devote yourself in this religion For this specific reason, many believers
go there to pray for good health and prosperity While thoroughly enjoy the temple, visitors can also have great time exploring the temple’s gardens and taking snaps of beautiful flowers along the way
During the last Lunar New Year celebration, I had the chance to visit this temple and this place was surely crowded! I remember that the entire building was very colorful and we could also see lots of figurines aligned on the interior walls
I find the temple interesting itself because its appearance is very traditional and well preserved But most importantly, it is rich in historical value I'd recommend anyone who visits Vietnam to go there and experience the spiritual beauty of this place
Trang 2I would like to tell you about an historic place, which is a museum situated in
Russia Last year, when I was still a student studying in Russia, I had a chance to visit The State Hermitage, one of the largest and oldest museums in the world It was founded in 1764 by Catherine the Great and has been open to the public since
1852
To get inside the museum, I had to queue up for a long time in the Winter Palace because on that day, there were many people came to visit it As I were a student,
I didn’t have to pay for the ticket, which is quite expensive for foreign tourists When I get in to the museum, the magnificent beauty of this place shocked me I have never seen such a luxurious and splendid museum like Hermitage before, so
I really enjoyed every moment watching the museum It consists of over three million items collected by Catherine the Great, including the largest collection of paintings of famous artists in the world such as Pablo Picasso, Vincent ven Gogh, Leonardo de Vinci… There were so many rooms in Hermitage that I almost got lost and within a day, I couldn’t have enough time to see all the museum
It was an interesting experience ever! I saw many things and I learned much more about the history and the culture of our whole world I think that if I had not visited the museum I would have regretted this decision for the rest of my life

Trang 43 Describe a modern building
I'm going to describe a modern building in Yekaterinburg, one of the biggest cities in Russia It's called the Vysotsky skyscraper, which in English means “tall skyscraper” As the name, it's the tallest building in the city, with about 54 floors and 188 meters in height
This building has built since 2006 and completed in 2011 It has become a famous landmark in the city It is an easy place to meet people because it is so distinctive and easy to find In fact, the bottom half of the skyscraper is the hotel and the top half is apartments The apartments are expensive because the location and views make them very desirable
I'm not sure if I like the design of the building, it's just a huge glass tower, but it definitely stands out Last summer, I went to visit my Russian friend in Yekaterinburg She took me to this building and we have been in the 54th floor, which had spectacular views of the city There are no walls, only huge windows,
so you can look out over the city in any direction So I'd recommend anyone who visits Russia to go there and experience the view
Trang 54 Describe your hometown
My hometown is Hai Phong, one of the biggest cities located in the North of
Vietnam It is a coastal city with the largest seaport in the region Being the third populous city in Vietnam, Hai Phong is considered as a vibrant city The center
of town is always bustling no matter day or night Conversely, the outskirts is quite peaceful with a large number of small towns and villages
My city is also famous for interesting tourist destinations such as Do Son beach, Cat Ba island, Cat Co island with beautiful caves and outstanding rock formation Another thing that is very special about Hai Phong is its food industry; there are many different restaurants, which are offering different kinds of food in the city center
Although Hai Phong has some problems with traffic jam on rush hour like almost modern cities, but I think, it is an ideal place for everybody, especially young people because the cost of living is quite reasonable, life is always vibrant with endless thing to do and see I guess what I like the most is the good sense of communication there People are very friendly, hospitable and always willing to help
I have been to many cities in the world, but for me Hai Phong is still the only pleasant place I want to live Living in another city, despite the fact that this place
is much more beautiful and attractive but I knew that where I truly belong, it is
my beloved city
Trang 65 Describe your neighborhood
I want to talk about my neighborhood situated in Hai Phong city My neighborhood is quiet because most of the people who live here are middle-aged
to elderly It has apartments and houses built separately in a peaceful area far from the city center There are no commercial buildings near my house and I am very happy because of this
Next door to my house lives a family with three kids and on nice sunny days in the spring and summer, the kids go out play in their yard and talk aloud I do not see many kids here so it's always nice when I do see a few on their bikes or the kids next door playing outside In addition, the neighbors around me are very friendly and always willing to help
Our neighborhood is right next to the main road that is busy and there is another main road that passes through but it's not as busy We also have a couple fast food places and a few restaurants, a small cafe and a bookstore, a pharmacy and a market nearby that is a great walking distance The place that I like most is a small park right across the street so whenever feel like walking or jogging I simply got
to the park and get some fresh air
I love my house because it is located in a good position with a peaceful neighborhood I am an introvert so my neighborhood is actually helping me has some private places to go out whenever I feel like getting lost in a daydream
Trang 76 Favourite room in the house
Everyone in this world has a favorite place Some people tend to stay at their workplaces and some people like to spend time at restaurants, but I am an introvert so I mostly like to stay at home My favorite room in the house is my bedroom
Well if you want me to talk about the room, I would say that it is a small room on the first floor and it has all the things, which a person need There is a computer,
an air-conditioner, a bed and a bookshelf But there are some changes that I would like to make in it First, I am not satisfied with the size of the room I want my room to be bigger because I would like to put more stuff in it The other change
is that I want to make a new window, because the current one is old and quite small
I spend most of time in my room because it is the place, where I can enjoy relaxation I like watching movies, listening to the music and reading books in
my room because it is only where I can get the privacy There is no noise, no disturbance My friends also like my room and whenever they come to my house, they prefer to sit in my room
For me this room is like a small world, where I could spend hours to do thousands
of favorite things I believe there is nowhere in the world I rather be than in my room whenever feel like getting lost in a daydream
Trang 87 Describe the ideal home that you would like to live in/ describe your house
Today I would like to talk about my dream house
I would like to live in a single-family house because I think I can have more privacy and don't need to share a wall with neighbors I do not need my house too big and multi-stories but cozy and comfortable Ideally, the house should have two stories, with a big kitchen and living room on the first floor and two bedrooms
on the second floor I would also like to have an entertainment room where I can watch movies or sing karaoke whenever I have free time
You know, nowadays quality of foods is not good anymore because most of the sellers only care about their benefits So I want to have a spacious garden in my ideal home where I can grow different kinds of fruits, vegetables and plant some flowers
The location of my ideal home is also important I want it far from the hustle and bustle of the city because I need a quiet place to relax and have a peaceful lifestyle Somewhere in the suburb or next to a lake with a beautiful scenery would be perfect, this way I can wake up every morning and enjoy the views outside
After all, the main reason why I want to live in such home is that I like being surrounded by nature and there I can enjoy peaceful moments after long working days
Trang 98 Describe a beautiful garden that you like
Today I would like to describe my home garden, a part of my home's backyard, which is a beautiful one and I like it very much
There is a big tree right in the middle of my garden, which is surrounded by different kinds of flowers, a small water fountain and several bushes You know, nowadays quality of foods is not good anymore because most of the sellers only care about their benefits Therefore, my parents decided to make a spacious area
in the garden where we can grow different kinds of fruits and vegetables My parents have been retired for a few years, so they spend much time to look after the garden
Due to it, my garden is always beautiful and full of vitality with green trees and the whistle of birds every day Whenever relatives and friends come to us, we take them to look around our garden and enjoy the view while the kids are playing, running and laughing aloud
All in all, this garden is one of the best features of my house For me it is like a small world where I can enjoy peaceful moments after long working days or during the weekends
Trang 109 Favourite city in the world
When I was a student studying in Russia, I had a chance to visit America for 2 months During this time, I have been in some beautiful cities such as Washington
DC, Boston, and Cambridge There is a city that I would love to go but I have not had any chance when I was in US, it is New York city
New York City is the most populous city in the United States It is known as the cultural and financial center of the world The city attracts considerably more foreign visitors than any other US city People go to New York to see this magnificent city with many famous sights If I were here, I would love to take a trip to the Statue of Liberty, which is one of the best landmarks of NY In addition,
NY is famous for its skyscrapers, which look most spectacular at night I've been reading books about NYC and I'm still watching TV series about it I couldn’t forget this fabulous scenes on TV
I think the best season to visit the city is wintertime When the Central park is, covered in a blanket of snow, Christmas atmosphere is all around the city Before Christmas, there is annual Thanksgiving Day Parade, with its giant balloons, singers, bands and movie stars
However, the only way to feel the glory of this remarkable city is to visit it If I had an opportunity to comeback to US again, I would definitely go to New York
Trang 1110 A visit to the mall
When I were studying in Russia, I often went shopping because in the city I live, there were not many different places to go like in Vietnam I often went to the Fair Mall to do some shopping, buy some foods or watch movies Sometimes I went alone and sometimes with my friends
The mall is extraordinary with a system of shops, supermarkets, restaurants and cinemas Every year on special holidays such as Christmas, New Year, Independence Day… the mall has an extra discount in variety of goods Every time I came there, I often said to myself that I would spend limited money on the clothes, but things were so good that I always had to borrow more money from
my friends to buy other stuffs
In addition, almost the sellers in the mall was very friendly You know, they were Russian girls, young, beautiful and sexy I have visited a few malls in some countries in the world, but I have never seen such good customer service like that The shopping mall was so wide that it made us exhausted, that we could not even walk a step We often ended our shopping by taking a fresh meal in a favorite restaurant
I like this Fair Mall so much that I went there frequently whenever I had free time
It reminds me of the best moments I had during the student life in Russia that I would never forget
