Dưới đây là phần chữa đề tham khảo dành cho các câu hỏi topic Carrying từ The SOL Education:

1. What do you often carry with you?

I’m one of those people who always carry a ton of stuff, especially since I’m a student in Hanoi City. My backpack is usually stuffed with my laptop, a water bottle, and a notebook for jotting down ideas. Oh, and I never leave home without my phone and a pair of earphones—it’s like my survival kit for navigating the chaotic streets of Saigon!

Từ vựng IELTS hữu ích:

• a ton of /ə tʌn əv/: rất nhiều
• stuffed /stʌft/: nhồi nhét, đầy ắp
• jot down /dʒɒt daʊn/: ghi chép nhanh
• survival kit /sərˈvaɪvl kɪt/: bộ dụng cụ thiết yếu
• chaotic /keɪˈɒtɪk/: hỗn loạn

2. How do you do if your item is heavy?

To be honest, heavy items are a bit of a hassle, especially when I’m zipping around Hanoi on my motorbike. If I’m carrying something bulky, like a stack of textbooks, I usually try to lighten the load by leaving non-essentials at home or borrowing from friends. If push comes to shove, I’ll just grit my teeth and deal with it, but I’m not exactly thrilled about it!

Từ vựng IELTS hữu ích:

• hassle /ˈhæsl/: rắc rối, phiền hà
• zip around /zɪp əˈraʊnd/: di chuyển nhanh, phóng đi
• bulky /ˈbʌlki/: cồng kềnh
• lighten the load /ˈlaɪtn ðə loʊd/: giảm bớt gánh nặng
• grit my teeth /ɡrɪt maɪ tiːθ/: nghiến răng chịu đựng

3. Do you prefer carrying a backpack or a handbag?

I’d definitely lean towards a backpack, hands down. Living in Hanoi, where I’m always on the go—whether it’s cycling to university or grabbing phở with friends—a backpack just feels more practical. It distributes the weight evenly, and I don’t have to worry about it slipping off my shoulder like a handbag would. Plus, it’s got that laid-back vibe that suits me better.

Từ vựng IELTS hữu ích:

• lean towards /liːn təˈwɔːrdz/: nghiêng về, thiên về
• hands down /hændz daʊn/: rõ ràng, không nghi ngờ
• on the go /ɒn ðə ɡoʊ/: bận rộn, luôn di chuyển
• distribute evenly /dɪˈstrɪbjuːt ˈiːvnli/: phân bổ đều
• laid-back /ˌleɪd ˈbæk/: thoải mái, thư giãn

4. Have you ever lost something important that you were carrying?

Oh, I’ve got a story for this one! Last year, I was rushing to a café in Hanoi to meet some friends and somehow managed to misplace my wallet—it had my ID card and some cash. I totally freaked out, retracing my steps like a detective, but luckily, a kind street vendor found it and returned it to me. That experience taught me to double-check my stuff before I dash out the door!

Từ vựng IELTS hữu ích:

• misplace /ˌmɪsˈpleɪs/: để thất lạc
• freak out /friːk aʊt/: hoảng loạn, lo lắng
• retrace my steps /riːˈtreɪs maɪ stɛps/: lần theo dấu vết
• double-check /ˌdʌbl ˈtʃɛk/: kiểm tra lại
• dash out /dæʃ aʊt/: vội vã rời đi
