Part 2: Describe an advertisement that you like to watch (Mô tả một quảng cáo mà bạn thích xem)

(Answer) Among the advertisements which are on TV or social mediarecently, I am really into seeing the one from Shopee Vietnam, which is afamous E-commerce service

(Reason) Well, I love that because firstly, it has celebrity endorsement oftalented goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung and famous singer Bao Anh (Example)The two have got certain achievements in their own career, became risingstars and they have been so popular with most people In theadvertisement, they wear matching clothes and look so good together;therefore, it is easy to see that the commercial has received a huge number

of views on social media such as Facebook or Youtube

(Reason) Secondly, it has unique and funny music (Example) The themesong for this advertisement is a remixed song from the original “Babyshark” for kids It sounds very catchy and makes me want to dance andsing along everytime I see it (Alternatives) Although some people may notlike it as the song is overplayed, many people agree with me that we areobsessed with it now and we still like it a lot Additionally, I think this may

be an effective and creative way of advertising, which helps the brandimage grow more impressively into customers’ mind

Part 3: Do you think that advertisement on TV nowadays causes inconvenience for people? (Bạn có nghĩ rằng quảng cáo trên TV thời nay gây ra sự bất tiện cho mọi người không?)

(Answer) As a matter of fact, the amount of time for commercials is roughlyone third of that for a TV program, which is very annoying (Example)Actually, despite being interested in watching advertisement, I myself feelthat they are really interrupting when I am enjoying a good film series or TVshow Normal advertisements are fine but those with inappropriate content,for example, those which are violent or adult-related issues may triggeranger for people

(Answer) Yes, I certainly am (Reason) Using Facebook is my cup of tea

as I spend a huge amount of time scrolling down my news feed to keepmyself updated about my beloved people

As you know, Instagram has more than one billion users, an impressivenumber, for its unique features in addition to similar tools as Facebookwhich also allow users to chat and comment in others’ posts (Reason)Firstly, it has a wide range of filters so that users can edit their pictures inany color or form they want (Example) As a consequence, the imagesuploaded may look much more stylish and up-to-date when compared tothose which are updated on other kinds of social networking sites

(Reason) Secondly, we can keep track of not only our friends but also otherusers, including celebrities or influencers from different parts of the world

just by a tool that is displayed when we log in our instagram account.(Example) As media has been increasing in popularity, communication now

is not the only demand of people, especially youngsters as they want morethan that and I think Instagram has met this need They want somethingdifferent and trendy Many trends have also been created from this socialplatform and young people are the biggest beneficiary In short, Instagram

is a user-friendly site and also ideal place for an energetic, modern andupdated generation

IELTS Vocabulary - Topic: Marriage and Family ( Marriage & Family)

SAMPLE MODEL ANSWER

PART 2

Describe a couple you know who have a happy marriage

You should say:

- Who they are

- How you know them

- What they usually do together

- And how you feel about their marriage

SP: If someone asks me what I treasure most in my life, the answer could

be one and only – my family, who are not only my pillar of strength andsupport but also my inspiration in many ways I wouldn’t have becomemyself today without my parents’ guidance and their love for me, and, ofcourse, for each other I will never get tired of my friends telling me howawesome and adorable my parents are despite both being almost 60.According to them, my parents are real-life relationship goals My dad, anintelligent, thoughtful, strong and honorable man to the core, started hisown business 20 years ago and has been working hard to achieve what hedeserves He’s married to a beautiful, loving and strong-willed woman whoisn’t afraid to speak her mind

My parents have known each other for almost five decades and been prettymuch in love all that time They usually tell us their legendary stories fromwhen they were high school sweethearts until tying the knot and living theirhappily ever after, which often gets exaggerated though none of mysiblings have ever complained Though my parents work in different fields,they tend to seek the other’s input and opinions on numerous cases Mydad always says mom is his greatest cheerleader in everything he doesand she tells us he is her rock One thing I have noticed about my parents

is honesty and openness in the way they communicate Just like any othercouples, mom and dad have also experienced many difficulties but howthey handle them is what makes them stronger I am so grateful to havebeen born and raised in the family full of love where I can feel it every timecoming home It is hard to put into words all they have inspired in me They

have molded and shaped me into the person I am today and who I hope to

- tie the knot (idiom): get married

- exaggerate (v): to make something seem larger, better, worse ormore important than it really is

- mold (v): to strongly influence the way somebody’s character,opinions, etc develop

are plenty of people who still enjoy their every moment without a life partner.

On the one hand, the number of divorces or unhappy marriages have beenincreasing tremendously over the years and its consequences areupsetting such as dysfunctional family, domestic violence, child neglect andthe list could go on On the other hand, people can find happiness indifferent places and activities without committing their life to one particularperson, especially those who aren’t worth it Therefore, I wouldn’t settle foranything less than what I deserve

Vocabulary:

 dysfunctional (a): not working normally or properly

 domestic violence (n): family violence

2 Who will pay for the wedding cost? Man or woman or both? Why?

Budget planning for weddings can be an extreme headache and decidingwho pays what might not be easy since there are tons of expenses to coversuch as the rings, floral arrangements, honeymoon and so on Hence, I

believe depending on each couple’s financial status, they should carefullydiscuss and choose a cost-splitting option that works best for them Forexample, if both are financially abundant, they can share the cost equally.Otherwise, one who is more well-off can cover a greater portion of theexpense.

Vocabulary

 floral (a): made of flowers

 split (v): to divide, or to make something divide, into two or more parts

 abundant (a): existing in large quantities; more than enough

 well-off (a): having a lot of money

3 What do you think is the best age to marry?

I don’t believe that there is a right time for anything, marriage included It’smore about the maturity of the two people than the age itself, I think.People mature at different rates, physically and emotionally, and not untilafter they can fully acknowledge their life issues and handle them withrationale and thorough consideration, are they ready to get settled and findhappiness in their marriage life Besides, financial situation also plays asignificant part in this once-in-a-lifetime decision Many divorces have beendirectly resulted from the lack of money or financial insecurity Therefore,only when people can fully support themselves, should they consider tostart a family

 maturity (n): the quality of thinking and behaving in a sensible, adultmanner

 rationale (n) the principles or reasons which explain a particulardecision, course of action, belief, etc

 once-in-lifetime: very special because you will probably only have itonce

 insecurity (n): the state of not being safe or protected

4 Do you think weddings in your countries waste lots of money?

It’s absolutely a yes to me Maybe I’m a minimalist, therefore, I considerweddings one of those occasions when people are willing to pour moneydown the drain with exorbitantly high and unnecessary items andceremonies For example, in XYZ, where I come from, couples tend tohave a huge reception where hundreds of guests are invited while, in myopinion, it should be an intimate one where people can share and celebratethe delight of life with their family and close friends only In addition, otherwedding expenses including floral arrangements, invitations, photography,costumes and so many more also cost people more than they should since

I believe they’re more show than substance

Vocabulary

 minimalist (n): person who is interested in keeping things very simple

 pour money down the drain (idiom): to waste money; to throw moneyaway

 exorbitantly (adv): to a very high degree that does not seemreasonable

 delight (n): a feeling of great pleasure

 more show than substance (idiom): value luxurious things rather thanthe quality

5 Why use lots of money for weddings?

I myself can hardly understand why couples are constantly spending anoutrageous amount of money on their weddings but I may have somethoughts First of all, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime event, at least for most people,hence, they want to have a lavish celebration which no one can ever forget.Whether it’s a wedding invitation or reception venue, everything has to be

of top quality Secondly, big weddings might be a tradition in somecountries It’s customary in many cultures to have several ceremonies andcelebrations in order to have a fulfilling married life Last but not least, theycan afford it Some well-off couples love to show off their wealth andwedding is an ideal occasion

Vocabulary

 outrageous (a): very unusual and slightly shocking

 lavish (a): large in amount, or impressive, and usually costing a lot ofmoney

 customary (a): if something is customary, it is what people usually do

 fulfilling (a): causing somebody to feel satisfied and useful

6 In a traditional family in your country, what male do in the family? And what about female? Why?

It comes as no surprise that women are still responsible for most of thehousework in a family, traditional or not Even though gender equality isactively promoted in modern society, there is still an imbalance inhousehold chores division Housewives take care of almost everything fromcooking, laundering, dish washing to house cleaning while their husbandsare only concerned with some hard work occasionally such as mendingpipes or gardening

 mend (v): to repair something that has been damaged or broken sothat it can be used again

7 Do you think man should take care of baby? Why?

Both mother and father have fundamental roles in a child’s developmentfrom birth through adulthood, I believe Hence, men should be more active

in raising kids since they can boost their children, intellectually and socially.Research has shown that children who have a close father-childrelationship are likely to have better social skills and fewer behavioralproblems since they are more emotionally secure Meanwhile, a distant ornon-existent father-child bond could take a horrendous toll on a kid’s self-esteem and self-belief Thus, if you want to raise a well-rounded kid, payattention to them

 take a toll on (idiom): to have a bad effect on somebody/something;

to cause a lot of damage, deaths, suffering, etc

 horrendous (a): extremely unpleasant

 self-esteem (n): a feeling of being happy with your own character andabilities

 well-rounded (a): having a variety of experiences and abilities and afully developed personality

8 Do you think man should do housework? Why?

Housework is definitely not women’s sole responsibility and men shouldshare domestic chores with female members in family for his own good aswell as others’ Becoming more disciplined and independent is the very firstbenefit when men take care of their own housework Most men, especiallywealthy ones, prefer to have their housemaid do all the work from cleaningthe house to cooking However, what if she gets sick or has emergencyissues, are they willing to go out with dirty socks? Hence, no one can lookafter you better than yourself Furthermore, they are likely to become moreunderstanding and thoughtful husbands Men who are not shy away from

“housewife’s duties” will be more well-prepared for married life since theydon’t mind rolling up their sleeves to help their family

Vocabulary

 for one’s own good (idiom): being or done for the benefit of oneself

 disciplined (a): able to control the way you behave and to makeyourself do things that you believe you should do

 shy away from (phrasal verb): to avoid something that you dislike,fear, or do not feel confident about

 roll up one’s sleeves (idiom): prepare to fight or work

9 What kind of traditional wedding in your country?

In XYZ, we celebrate weddings like most parts of the world, except withsome extra special features in our ceremonies and costumes Normally, abride will be dressed in a white gown with an elegant bridal veil to complete

her dreamy and stunning look She will be accompanied by severalbridesmaids who are usually her close friends or relatives Meanwhile,tuxedo or suit is a groom’s attire in this special event and he also has hisbest man carry the wedding rings In addition, we do have our traditionalwedding costumes which are far more sophisticated and cumbersome towear, however, some couples still prefer them at other minor ceremoniesbeside the main one at the church.

Vocabulary

 veil (n): a covering of very thin transparent material worn, especially

by women, to protect or hide the face, or as part of a hat, etc

 accompany (v): to travel or go somewhere with somebody

 attire (n): clothes

 cumbersome (a): large and heavy; difficult to carry

3 ADVERSTING

QUESTION AND SAMPLE MODEL ANSWER Part 2

Describe an unforgettable advertisement that you saw or heard

You should say:

- Where you saw or heard it

- What kind of advertisement it was

- What the contents of the advertisement were

- and explain why this advertisement is so unforgettable

SP:

While waiting for my boyfriend to pick me up from work, I was watchingadvertisements on the TV in the lobby That night I saw an advertisementthat has forever stuck in my mind

It was a commercial for Nike shoes with Michael Jordan In it he said, “I’vemissed more than nine thousand shots in my career I’ve lost almost threehundred games Twenty-six times I’ve been trusted to take the gamewinning shot but missed I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life,and that is why I succeed.” I couldn’t get that commercial out of my mind,not because I thought buying Nike shoes would make me as successful asMichael Jordan, but because of his unflinching determination andperseverance

Life is full of challenges and difficulties that test our level of commitment Ibelieve having determination divides the winners from die losers.Successful people are not ones who have never failed, but those who kepttrying As simple as this may sound, it is the one ingredient that separatesthe winners front the losers The one skill that winners acquire is anunderstanding that growth is only possible if you have the courage tochange what you have been doing, if it is not achieving the result youdesire Sometimes success is learning how to fall and recognizing that fromthat fall you will learn to grow And growth is what a fulfilling life is all about.

QUESTION AND SAMPLE MODEL ANSWER Part 3

1 How do advertisements attract attention?

It all depends on what group of people the advertisement is aimed for.Young people look if it’s cool, hip, or fashionable; whereas older peopletend to be more practical-minded, so those in charge of advertising need tohave a clear idea of who they will be targeting with their advertisement, andplan accordingly If the advertisement is geared to the younger generation,then showing how the product can help kids be more attractive, confident,

or successful is good Catchy music also helps attract attention and helpslisteners remember it If you’re trying to reach the older generation withyour advertisement, explaining how the product will give them better health,

or help them relax, or he happier may appeal to them

2 Do young and old people have the same attitudes towards advertisements?

Definitely not Every individual has his own unique attitude forwardadvertisements and die advantages and disadvantages that advertisingbrings Both old and young people are inclined to believe and think thatadvertisements tend to be misleading, dishonest, phony, shallow, and attimes annoying, especially when they’re not well made or dorky On theother hand, if done well, they can be very creative, humorous, artistic, andenjoyable to watch Those, however, are the exception, rather than thenorm.

3 Do you think advertisements are a good or bad influence on children?

Looking at todays children, I would have to say advertisements havepredominately had a negative influence on their lives and character Adscreate a discontentment with what children have and a desire to own moreand to be like everyone else Advertisements usually tend to be unrealisticand give a false impression of how the children should he or what willhappen when they buy the product

4 Do you think advertisements actually influence people to buy tilings? And How?

When seen a lot advertisements make products more familiar andingrained in people’s mind, so when they want to buy something, they willtake a brand that they recognize In our country, people want to be like theWest and so they buy what they see on TV that the Western people have.They think that if they have this Western product, they will be as cool as

Government control

5 Does the government control advertisements in any way?

Of course All TV media is controlled in some way by the government, soadvertisements must be as well The government prevents advertisementsfrom having inappropriate content or content that is not in line withgovernment policy That is common in every country I’m sure that if theadvertisement is within normal bounds, then the government wouldn’t havemuch to say about it

6 Do you think there should be controls on advertising?

Yes, I do Some things should not be advertised, such as cigarettes, whicharc harmful to people’s health Most people arc aware of their existence, sothey don’t need to be promoted more Children especially should not beshown advertisements that make harmful things look cool or interesting.Advertisements that have age-inappropriate content should also be banned

7 Do you think that advertisements for products that harm the health, such as cigarettes, should be allowed?

Now you arc getting into freedom of choice and whether it would be better

to just prohibit something from being advertised to get people to stop usingthe product, but unfortunately this just doesn’t work, as prohibition in theStates found out The best thing would be for the products just to not bemanufactured, but this doesn’t work either because then they would beproduced illegally, becoming more dangerous

8 Can you think of any example of false advertising?

The biggest example that comes to my mind is McDonald’s advertisements.Every time 1 go to McDonald’s, I see pictures of happy, thin people with bigsmiles and perfect teeth holding hamburgers and cartons of French friesthat are at least three tunes bigger than the real products Thisadvertisement clearly ignores three glaring facts For one, if you cat atMcDonalds a lot, you will not look like the people in the advertisement Two,the hamburger and French fries are nowhere near the size pictured Three,

if you stand smiling lidding a burger, nobody will think you are cool

9 What kinds of products are most often (most easily) promoted by false advertising?

Well, most products are really promoted by false advertising I hate tosound so cynical but I have a friend in the advertising business, and a lot ofso-called experts advertising their product know absolutely nothing about it

In the Held of beauty care products, this happens a lot The poor womensitting at home with nothing to do except watch TV me so susceptible Inthis kind of advertising

Band 6,5 Answer by IELTS test taker

is a famous American actor, known for playing Sheldon Cooper in thesitcom ‘The Big Bang Theory’ He has received several awards for hisperformance, including four Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding LeadActor in a Comedy Series Apart from the ‘Big Bang Theory’, Jim Parsonhas also achieved great performance in many other comedies, includingthe ‘Family Guy’ and so on Generally speaking, Jim Parsons is a verypopular comic actor around the world, and many people, especially theyoung students are deeply attracted by his performance

The reason why he is popular is that the role he played in the comedy is sofunny that people may fall in love with it at the first sight Here, I would like

to take the role he played in the ‘Big Bang Theory’ for an example In thiscomedy, Jim Parson has performed a genius with high IQ, but extremelylow EQ vividly As soon as I see his funny facial expressions andinteresting behaviors in the comedy, I cannot stop laughing As for theaudience, especially the young university students, they like watching his

Well, there are many influences What I want to mention firstly is that theactors may influence the young people’s behaviors To be honest, everyyoung student has his or her idol, in which case, the young people arealways eager to know more about the idols’ lives in detail and will alwayslearn from their idols Here, I would like to take myself as an example.When I was young, my idol was Jay Chou At that time, he always donatedmoney to help the people in need, so I regarded him as my example, and I

need Secondly, the actors will also influence the young people’s spiritualworld Here, I would like to take a favorite TV host named Ou Di for anexample, he had suffered from lot of difficulties before becoming famous,

so he always uses his own stories to encourage the young people to facethe challenges with strong determination So, I think the actors willinfluence the young people’^ behaviors and spiritual worlds
