1. Bố cục bài Talk about your best friend

Thường thì trong IELTS Speaking Part 2 chúng ta sẽ trình bày theo phong cách thuyết trình với sườn bài mà thẻ bài cho sẵn. Một bài Part 2 hợp lý sẽ bao gồm mở bài (introduction), thân bài (body) và kết bài (conclusion). Trong đó:

  • Mở bài: Phần mở bài được dùng để thu hút sự chú ý của người nghe, giống như trong các buổi thuyết trình trên lớp với cách mở đầu thật đơn giản và đi thẳng vào vấn đề.

  • Ví dụ:

  • “OK so now I would like to share with you about a friend I love to spend time with.”

  • Thân bài: Phần thân bài chúng ta sẽ lần lượt trả lời các câu hỏi trong thẻ bài theo thứ tự từ trên xuống dưới.

  • Lưu ý: Khi trả lời từng câu hỏi, hãy cố gắng kéo dài mỗi câu trả lời dài khoảng 3 ý. Trong đó, ý thứ nhất cần phải trả lời trực tiếp câu hỏi được hỏi, ý thứ 2 & 3 được dùng để làm rõ nghĩa cho ý thứ nhất.

  • Như vậy, phần thân bài chúng ta sẽ có 4 câu trả lời dài, mỗi câu trả lời sẽ bao gồm 3 ý tưởng được minh họa theo cách take note sau:

  • + What this person looks like: Hoang Huy /50 years old, tall, bald/smart, nice, kind

  • + When and where you met this person: 3 years ago/Christmas party/talking skill

  • + What you do when you are together: keep in touch/send messages/never get bored or sad

  • + And explain why he/she is one of your best friends: count on/help a lot/release stress

  • Kết bài: Phần kết bài được dùng để báo hiệu người nghe rằng phần trình bày của thí sinh đã hết. Thường trong phần này chúng ta nên đưa vào một ý tưởng mang hàm ý hy vọng cho thêm phần sinh động.

  • Ví dụ:

  • “So that’s all I would like to say about my best friend. I hope in the future we will have more time to hang out and create some more fun memories together.”
