B. Câu trả lời mẫu cho chủ đề Weather IELTS Speaking
1. What’s the weather like in your country?
Sample 1: Well, as you could probably tell, I’m currently residing in Vietnam, which is a tropical country. When it comes to the weather here, for the most part, it’s kinda scorching hot and humid year-round. I mean, there have been reports about the heatwaves of over 40 degrees celsius in Hanoi in the recent years during summer. In winter, it used to be frigid but now it’s a bit more pleasant and bearable. And I guess it’s due to global warming.
Sample 2: Well, I live in Saigon, where it’s hot and humid all year round. It is often said that there are only two seasons here: the rainy season and the dry season.
- Humid (adj) ẩm ướt; (of air and weather conditions) containing extremely small drops of water in the air
2. Does the weather affect what you do?
Sample 1: Absolutely. I mean, when the weather is unfavourable like when it’s too sunny, I tend to procrastinate my plan until late afternoon. 5 or 6 pm, because that’s when the temperature lowers a little bit. On the other hand, when it rains heavily for too long, I’m kinda reluctant to drive so I think I would just get a Grab to get around.
Sample 2: Oh yeah, definitely! In Saigon, most of us get around on bikes, so when it’s pouring rain, we prefer to stay indoors. Riding a motorbike in the rain is basically asking for trouble. On top of that, between 11 am and 4 pm, it’s scorching hot outside. I’d sweat buckets in less than five minutes if I dared to step out into the blazing sun. So, if I see rain on the horizon or temperatures soaring above 35 degrees Celsius, you bet I’ll cancel my plans.
- Asking for trouble (idiom) gây rắc rối; behaving in a way that is likely to cause problems for you
- Scorching hot (adj) rất nóng; very hot
- On the horizon (idiom) sắp xảy ra; likely to happen or exist soon
3. What is your favorite season?
Sample 1: Well, I gotta say it’s definitely autumn. I mean Hanoi possesses 4 distinct seasons in a year. In summery months, it’s usually sweltering and stuffy and I’m sure you cannot make it through the summer without an air conditioner. Winter is too cold and it rains a lot in spring. So hands-down, autumn is my go-to season.
Sample 2: Well, you see, we don’t have a proper fall or spring here. It’s just hot or rainy most of the time. But if I had to pick, I’d say I’m most comfortable around Christmas. The weather cools down a bit, and the sun doesn’t roast us every day. Unfortunately, that heavenly weather only lasts for about two weeks each year.
- Roast (v) [figurative] nướng; to cook food in an oven or over a fire
4. What’s the weather like where you live?
I come from a mountainous area so the weather there is pretty mild all year round, neither too hot nor too cold, which is kinda ideal for an outdoorsy person like me.
- Mild (adj): dịu nhẹ, ôn hòa
- Outdoorsy person (n) người thích ở, hoạt động ngoài trời
5. Are you in the habit of checking the weather forecast?
Sample 1: Not really, I only have a look at it whenever I need to go out for special occasions. On top of that, the weather in Vietnam is fairly predictable so I think it’s unnecessary to check the weather forecast all the time.
Sample 2: Honestly, I don’t check the weather much these days because it’s pretty predictable here in Saigon. I make a point of carrying a raincoat and an umbrella with me all the time, just in case. But when I lived in Melbourne, it was a different story. The weather there could change like crazy! Like, the morning could be bright and sunny and a nice 20 degrees Celsius, but it could shoot up to 40 by 3pm, and then drop to 10 by sunset. Back then, I always had to look up the weather forecast on my phone before heading out, just to dress appropriately and figure out whether I should drive or take public transport.
- Make a point of doing something (idiom) luôn nhớ làm một việc gì đó; to always do something or to take particular care to do something
- Head out (phrasal verb) ra ngoài; go out
6. What do you think are the effects of climate change in recent years?
Sample 1: I suppose global warming has numerous adverse effects on not only humans but other species as well. A variety of species are at risk of becoming extinct due to climate change-related problems such as forest fires, extreme weather, and diseases. The change in the global surface temperature can also exacerbate water shortages in already water-stressed regions, leading to many people now facing the threat of not having enough water on a regular basis.
- Adverse effect (n) tác động xấu
- Be at risk of becoming extinct: có nguy cơ tuyệt chủng
- Exacerbate (v) làm tệ hơn, làm xấu đi
- Water shortage (n) thiếu nước
Sample 2: Well, there has been countless evidence of climate change lately. I’ve read about iconic cities like Venice and Jakarta sinking because of rising sea levels caused by melting glaciers. And it’s not just about cities. The rippling effects of global warming also include habitat loss, pushing several species closer to the brink of extinction. Here in Saigon, it has become apparent that the rainy season starts earlier and lasts longer compared to 20 years ago. And summers have never been hotter!
- Sea level (n) mực nước biển; the average height of the sea where it meets the land
- Glacier (n) sông băng; a large mass of ice that moves slowly
- Habitat loss (n) sự mất môi trường sống; the reduction in the amount of space where a particular species, or group of species can survive and reproduce.
- Brink (n) bờ vực; the edge, border, or verge of a cliff
7. Would you like to visit other cities that have different climates from where you live?
Sample 1: Sure, it would be terrific if I got to enjoy different climates in other regions. Though I count myself very fortunate to have been able to enjoy four distinct seasons in Hanoi, I’d like to have some more novel experiences with other kinds of weather.
- novel experiences (n) những trải nghiệm mới
Sample 2: Yeah, for sure. I’d love to check out a city where it’s cool and pleasant year-round. Imagine being able to go out whenever you want without worrying about the weather. That’d be amazing!
