Gợi ý triển khai bài nói:
Main idea: Yes, schools have various regulations.
Details: Dress code (Uniforms), Punctuality (Being on time), Academic honesty (No cheating).
Sample Answer Band 6.0
Yes, of course. My school has many rules that we must follow. For example, all students have to wear uniforms every day. Also, we need to be on time for every class. If we are late, we might get a warning from the teacher.
Wear uniforms /ˈweə ˈjuːnɪfɔːmz/: mặc đồng phục
Be on time /bi ɒn taɪm/: đúng giờ
Warning /ˈwɔːrnɪŋ/: lời cảnh cáo
Sample Answer Band 7.5+
Definitely. Like most educational institutions in Vietnam, my school implements a stringent code of conduct. For instance, students are expected to adhere to a specific dress code and maintain punctuality. Moreover, academic integrity is highly valued, so there are strict penalties for any forms of cheating.
Stringent code of conduct /ˈstrɪndʒənt koʊd əv ˈkɒndʌkt/: bộ quy tắc ứng xử nghiêm ngặt
Adhere to /ədˈhɪə tuː/: tuân thủ
Academic integrity /ˌækəˈdemɪk ɪnˈteɡrəti/: sự liêm chính trong học thuật
Gợi ý triển khai bài nói:
Perspective 1 (Yes): Create discipline, better focus, safety.
Perspective 2 (No): Stifle creativity, cause stress, rebellion.
Sample Answer Band 6.0
I don't think so. I believe that having too many rules can make students feel stressed. While some rules are good for discipline, students also need some freedom to be creative and enjoy their school life.
Stressed /strest/: bị căng thẳng
Discipline /ˈdɪsəplɪn/: kỷ luật
Sample Answer Band 7.5+
Actually, I'm inclined to believe that a surplus of regulations might be counter-productive. While a certain level of discipline is essential for a productive learning environment, overly restrictive rules can stifle students' creativity and lead to a sense of resentment or thậm chí là rebellion.
Inclined to /ɪnˈklaɪnd tuː/: có xu hướng (nghĩ về việc gì)
Counter-productive /ˌkaʊntə prəˈdʌktɪv/: phản tác dụng
Overly restrictive /ˈoʊvərli rɪˈstrɪktɪv/: quá gò bó, hạn chế
Stifle creativity /ˈstaɪfl krieɪˈtɪvəti/: kìm hãm sự sáng tạo
Gợi ý triển khai bài nói:
Classroom etiquette: Raise hands to speak, keep quiet.
Homework: Finish assignments before class.
Sample Answer Band 6.0
When I was a kid, my teachers often told us to keep quiet in class and raise our hands if we wanted to speak. We also had to finish all our homework before going to school.
Keep quiet /kiːp ˈkwaɪət/: giữ trật tự
Raise hands /reɪz hændz/: giơ tay (phát biểu)
Sample Answer Band 7.5+
Thinking back, my teachers were quite big on classroom etiquette. We were constantly reminded to listen attentively and raise our hands before speaking. Additionally, completing homework was mandatory, and we were taught to always show respect to our elders and peers.
Classroom etiquette /ˈklɑːsruːm ˈetɪket/: phép tắc trong lớp học
Listen attentively /ˈlɪsn əˈtentɪvli/: lắng nghe chăm chú
Mandatory /ˈmændətəri/: bắt buộc
Gợi ý triển khai bài nói:
Teacher figure: Homeroom teacher, principal.
Consequences: Parental meetings, extra tasks, detention.
Sample Answer Band 6.0
Yes, my homeroom teacher was very strict. She checked our uniforms and homework every morning. If someone broke the rules, she would talk to their parents or give them extra work.
Homeroom teacher /ˈhoʊmruːm ˈtiːtʃər/: giáo viên chủ nhiệm
Broke the rules /broʊk ðə ruːlz/: vi phạm nội quy
Sample Answer Band 7.5+
Absolutely. My high school principal was a stickler for the rules. He believed that discipline was the foundation of success. Anyone caught flouting the regulations would face serious consequences, such as detention or a formal reprimand.
Stickler for the rules /ˈstɪklə fɔː ðə ruːlz/: người cực kỳ khắt khe về quy tắc
Flouting the regulations /flaʊtɪŋ ðə ˌreɡjuˈleɪʃnz/: coi thường quy định
Formal reprimand /ˈfɔːrml ˈreprɪmɑːnd/: lời khiển trách chính thức
Gợi ý triển khai bài nói:
Who: English teacher, Math teacher.
Actions: Stayed late, encouraged students, passion.
Sample Answer Band 6.0
Yes, I was lucky to have a very dedicated English teacher in secondary school. She always stayed late to help us with difficult grammar and gave us many encouraging words to study harder.
Dedicated /ˈdedɪkeɪtɪd/: tận tâm
Encouraging words /ɪnˈkʌrɪdʒɪŋ wɜːrdz/: những lời động viên
Sample Answer Band 7.5+
I've been fortunate enough to be taught by several committed educators. One who stands out is my Math teacher, who went above and beyond to ensure every student grasped the concepts. Her unwavering support and passion for teaching truly inspired me to excel.
Committed /kəˈmɪtɪd/: tận tụy
Stand out /stænd aʊt/: nổi bật
Unwavering support /ʌnˈweɪvərɪŋ səˈpɔːrt/: sự ủng hộ không lay chuyển
Gợi ý triển khai bài nói:
Preference: Moderate or fewer rules.
Reasons: Comfort, balance between chaos and stifling environment.
Sample Answer Band 6.0
I prefer to have fewer rules. I think school should be a place where students feel comfortable. Of course, we need some basic rules, but too many can make school boring and stressful.
Fewer rules /ˈfjuːər ruːlz/: ít quy tắc hơn
Boring /ˈbɔːrɪŋ/: nhàm chán
Sample Answer Band 7.5+
To be honest, I'd lean towards having a moderate number of rules. While a completely lawless environment would lead to chaos, an excess of regulations can be stifling. I believe a balance is key to fostering a healthy and conducive learning atmosphere.
Lean towards /liːn təˈwɔːrdz/: nghiêng về phía
Lawless /ˈlɔːləs/: không có kỷ luật
Conducive /kənˈdjuːsɪv/: thuận lợi (cho việc học tập)
