IELTS Speaking Part 1
Part 1 của IELTS Speaking được xem là phần giúp thí sinh “gây ấn tượng đầu tiên” với giám khảo và phần này đánh giá khả năng diễn đạt thông tin của thí sinh về các chủ đề hàng ngày và các tình huống thông thường. Các câu hỏi của Part 1 rất đa dạng nhưng sẽ rơi vào khoảng 6-10 câu, về các chủ đề chẳng hạn như gia đình, nơi ở, công việc, học tập và sở thích. Một câu trả lời tiêu chuẩn của part 1 thường kéo dài tầm 2-3 câu. Thí sinh không cần phải trả lời quá nhiều cho Part 1.
Với IELTS Speaking Part 1, tuỳ vào loại câu hỏi mà có những cách bắt đầu câu trả lời khác nhau
Thay vì đơn thuần trả lời câu hỏi này bằng “Yes I do” hay “No I don’t” thì các bạn học viên của DOL hoàn toàn có thể sử dụng những cấu trúc câu sau đây để trả lời bài Speaking Part 1 một cách tự nhiên và đa dạng hơn
| YES | NO |
| Of course
Without a doubt Absolutely Totally For sure I believe so |
I don’t think so.
Unfortunately, no. I’d have to say no Not that I am aware of / remember. |
Example: Do you enjoy living in the city?
🠚 Without a doubt!

Với những câu hỏi bắt đầu bằng Wh- hay How của IELTS Speaking Part 1, thay vì đi thẳng vào câu trả lời ngay từ đầu, thí sinh có thể làm đa dạng cấu trúc câu trúc câu trả lời của mình bằng cách thêm vào vế sau:
| Wh- QUESTIONTo be honest…
I’d have to say that…. Actually,… Well to be fair… |

PHÁT TRIỂN Ý IELTS SPEAKING PART 1
|
Example: What is your favourite music genre?
🠚 Well to be fair I have many genres that I like but if I have to choose one it’ll be pop. [Reason] The reason for this is that pop is so easy to listen to and it can help cheer me up whenever I feel down. [Example] Let me give you an example. Last night I was really blue because my girlfriend left me but after listening to some Justin Bieber I felt much better!
Example: How often do you consume fast food?
🠚 I eat it almost everyday. [Explanation] To be more specific, I probably eat it around a few times a day. [Opinion] I find it extremely tasty and almost impossible to resist!
Example: Do you enjoy reading? Why?
🠚 I’m not a huge fan of books, to be frank. [Opinion] I think reading books is pretty boring. [Explanation] They are full of words and there is little to no visual stimulation. As a result, it is quite difficult for me to concentrate when I read books!
Example: What sort of things do you read?
🠚 I have quite a diverse taste. I like reading fictional books since they help me escape my boring day-to-day life. [Explanation] When I read these stories I can immerse myself in a new virtual world with fictional characters and storylines. I find it really interesting!
Example: When do you usually read books?
🠚 I usually read books when I’m on public transport, like when I’m taking a bus to work. [Explanation] It’s very easy for me to get bored so I spice my trip up by reading books to pass the time. I also read books before my bedtime because it’s easier for me to fall soundly asleep afterwards.
Example: What are the advantages of reading instead of watching television or going to the cinema?
🠚 There are plenty of benefits that reading can have over watching TV or going to see a movie. The first one I can think of is how I can expand my vocabulary when I read books. [Explanation] I can’t do that when I watch TV since I can use visual cues to guess what is going on, but when I read books I have no other choice but to look up and learn all the words that I don’t know.
