Gợi ý: Chinese: many people speak the language, often used in trades and business, more people are learning to speak Chinese; French, German, Spanish, Russian: also spoken by a lot of people Chinese can be an example of an international language apart from English In fact, around one sixth of the world population speaks Chinese as their first language Even foreigners speak Chinese, mostly in trades and business Do you think people will speak the same language in the future (maybe English)? Gợi ý: Yes: English will still remain the most popular international language as long as English-speaking countries remain dominant Chinese can also be an international language owing to the increasingly important role China plays in international trade No: Countries will keep their languages as they carry national values and represent the indigenous cultures No, I don’t think people will speak the same language in the future, because a language carries national values and represent the indigenous cultures In other words, the loss of a language equals the loss of a cultural identity Individualism urges people to have their own identity, wave their own flags and speak their own language That is why people of different countries won’t be willing to speak the same language What are the advantages and disadvantages of this trend? Gợi ý: Advantage: effective communication/facilitate trades and business meetings/ avoid conflicts and wars between nations Disadvantage: the distinction of a language → the loss of knowledge and cultural identity/increase jobs crisis Having an international language can bring both benefits and drawbacks Despite the fact that people speaking the same language can facilitate trades and business meetings, it can result in the distinction of languages, which will eventually bring about the loss of knowledge and cultural identities Từ vựng Carry national values: mang giá trị quốc gia Represent the indigenous cultures: đại diện cho văn hóa xứ Cultural identity: sắc văn hóa Estimated Band Score: 8.0 FC 8.0 P 8.0 LR 8.0 GRA 8.0 ZIM 37 12/01 27 04 Some people think that planning for the future is a waste of time They believe it is more important to focus on the present To what extent agree or disagree?

Bài mẫu Some people believe that making future plans is a futile exercise, and that focusing on the present moment is more important Personally, I feel that both perspectives are of equal importance and should be lived simultaneously On the one hand, I believe that it is quite important to plan for the future People need to have goals and dreams to strive towards in order to have a sense of purpose and direction in their lives And to achieve and fulfil these goals and be successful, it is essential that they make plans I am certain that any successful businessman, or millionaire, will tell you that one of the key elements in their success was their careful planning for the future.(1) However, the future is always uncertain, so it is also necessary to have a backup plan when things not work out as expected.(2) On the other hand, it is also extremely important to maintain focus on the present Many people would claim that there are far too many factors that influence our future, and therefore it is out of our control.(3) So, it is necessary that we stay focused on the present moment in order to be able to react and respond appropriately to our current situation and needs If you are too focused on the future, you may not make very good decisions about your present life Furthermore, nobody knows when their life will end, so it is also important to live your life to the fullest in each passing moment In conclusion, I believe it is important to maintain a balance between planning for the future and staying focused on the present moment It is necessary to make plans in order to achieve goals, but it is also necessary to be flexible and be able to adapt to the current changing situations and circumstances (306 từ) Estimated Band Score: 8.0 TR 8.0 40 ZIM CC 8.0 LR 8.0

I usually share latest news with my friends, especially interesting stories about popular movie stars or singers like who they are dating or what scandals they are involved in Did your parents encourage you to share things when you were a child? Yes You know Vietnamese people have a really strong sense of community so as a child, one of the things I’ve been taught to share was food Many of the popular dishes in Vietnam such as hotpot or BBQ are great for sharing as well What kinds of things would you not share? I would say my personal life since I highly value my privacy I believe details of our personal life should be kept as secrets to even your friends, especially if you are celebrities Otherwise your reputation could be ruined if one of your friends can’t keep his mouth shut Movie star Who is your favorite movie star? Jenifer Lawrence is my all-time favorite actor She’s beautiful, charming and has a lot of charisma What’s not to like about her? Have you met a movie star in person? Unfortunately no because I live in Vietnam and I’m not a fan of any Vietnamese movie star And to be honest I don’t really care, at least until I finish everything on my plate like achieving 6.5 IELTS Do you want to be a movie star in the future? Not at all Becoming a celebrity means you have to expose your private life to the rest of the world, and sharing has never been my thing I would never sacrifice my privacy for fame or wealth ZIM 45 Từ vựng Sense of community: Ý thức cộng đồng Keep one’s mouth shut: Ngậm miệng Charisma: Sức hút Các chủ đề tương tự: Friends Các chủ đề friends liên quan đến chủ đề “sharing” Chính vậy, cách để phát triển câu trả lời đưa quan điểm liên quan đến điều chia sẻ • Sharing is my thing/not my thing • Sharing is caring Do you like music?

No → sharing is not my thing → not want to share details of my personal life 46 ZIM Part Describe a time when someone didn’t tell you the whole truth about something • When this happened • What the situation was • Who you were with And explain why the person didn’t tell the whole truth So I’m going to talk about a time when my brother told me a half-truth that just happened recently actually My brother is a trickster who is able to lie without blinking an eye Three months ago, he told me that he was super broke and asked to “borrow” some immediate cash to pay for the air ticket that he already booked Empathized with his situation, I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and gave him some money without asking him to pay back because, you know, he is family and also jobless He was thankful and brought me a bunch of gifts from his trips I was quite happy as I thought my brother has finally grown up and became a more mature person How naive I was! During my next family gathering, I brought up the story to my parents, praising my brother for his maturity My mom’s face dropped and she immediately looked at my brother in disbelief Turned out my brother only told me half of the truth He was really in desperate need for some cash, but he asked both my mom and I, received money from both of us and ended up with twice the amount he needed The ending was predictable: two hours of being scolded and grounded for one month I was neither surprised nor sorry for him He reaped what he sowed, you know Từ vựng Without blinking an eye: không chút cảm xúc To be broke: cháy túi Give sb the benefit of the doubt: định tin tưởng cịn nhiều nghi ngờ You reap what you sow: hứng chịu ảnh hưởng hành động Các chủ đề tương tự: Các ý tưởng từ vựng mẫu sử dụng để phát triển câu trả lời cho chủ đề sau: • Describe something you made but you gave it to other people (friends/family): I gave my brother some money that I earned And he tricked me • Describe a time you taught something new to a person: it was not me but my parents who taught my brother a lesson about trust and responsibilities ZIM 47 Part When is it acceptable to lie? Gợi ý: Lies with good intentions: doctors lie to patients White lie: harmless or trivial lie, avoid hurting feelings Half truth: statement that conveys half of the truth I believe lies, white lies or half-truths, are acceptable acts when they are done with good intentions, be it providing comfort or avoiding hurting feelings A boyfriend, for example, can choose to tell a white lie and tell his girl she looks beautiful in those new expensive jeans A doctor can choose to tell a dying cancer patient that he has more time to live to put the patient’s mind at ease What you think about the fact that everybody has lied at least once? Gợi ý: It represents our self-centered nature → everyone wants a perfect image in front of others There is a thin line between the advantages and disadvantages of lying Some people only lie because they have good intentions I believe lying is part of our nature, as everybody wants to keep a perfect image in front of others In other words, nobody wants to expose their flaws or weaknesses and decide to cover them up by lies Therefore, the fact that everybody has lied at least once, to me, just makes us more human Từ vựng Put sb mind at ease: làm cho khỏi lo lắng Flaw: khuyết điểm Estimated Band Score: 8.0 FC 8.0 48 ZIM P 8.0 LR 8.0 GRA 8.0 IELTS Special Journal 4/2019 - By ZIM School of English and Test Preparation Chủ biên Nguyễn Anh Toàn Chịu trách nhiệm nội dung Writing Phạm Quốc Hiệp Samuel Prior Đinh Quang Tùng Nguyễn Ngọc Liên Chịu trách nhiệm nội dung Speaking Lê Anh Minh Lê Thùy Linh Tạ Phương Thảo Chịu trách nhiệm nội dung Listening Cao Thế Vũ Chịu trách nhiệm nội dung Reading Đinh Quang Tùng Nguyễn Minh Châu Hoàng Anh Khoa ...
