2. IELTS Speaking Part 1 Sample – chủ đề Memory
2.1. Why do some people have good memories while others just don’t?
It may sound funny but I think some people are born absent-minded while others have excellent memories. This is because memory skills are somewhat of a talent or related to each person’s genes. However, I believe people can remember things more easily and longer if they boost their memory each day by studying and practicing some brain exercises.
- Absent-minded (a): Đãng trí
- To have excellent memory: Có trí nhớ tốt
- Boost one’s memory: Cải thiện trí nhớ
- Brain exercise: Bài tập luyện tập cho não bộ
2.2 Why do more people rely on cell phones to memorize things?
I think this is because they don’t have good memories so it’s always more convenient if there’s a smart device that can help remind them of what they need to do other than trying to memorize things themself. For example, there are many reminder apps on the phone that you can set time and an alarm will go off. What a life-saver!
- Go off: Đổ chuông (báo thức)
- Life-saver (n): Vật cứu cánh/Thứ cứu rỗi cuộc đời
2.3 Are you good at memorizing things?
I gotta say I have a terrible memory. I’m quite forgetful and tend to be reliant on other people or reminder apps and other reminding tips to help me remember things. But what’s funny is although I have sticky notes everywhere in the house, I still forget my car key several times when I go out.
- To have a terrible memory: Có một trí nhớ tệ/kém
- Forgetful (a): hay quên
- Reliant on (a): phụ thuộc vào cái gì đó/ai đó
- Sticky note: giấy nhớ
2.4 Have you ever forgotten something that was important?
Yes, I have. About 2 or 3 months ago, I was halfway to the test center when I realized I didn’t bring along my identification card. I’m sure every IELTS test taker knows how crucial it is for them to confirm their identity to the examiner if they want to sit for the test. As soon as I realized I left my ID card at home, I was luckily able to get back home to grab it and return to the test center on time and my examination went on very smoothly.
- Crucial (a): Quan trọng
- Sit for the test: Thực hiện bài thi
