Since then I ha e alwa#s %elt scared o% going out "# an# ehicles. I didn(t dare to ride alone. The accident haunted $e %or an e*tended ti$e up to now. How would you reduce the traffic problems in your area? Actuall#) I cannot reduce the tra%%ic pro"le$s in $# area $#sel%.

Do you think competitive games are good or bad for children? In what ways? As I see it) co$petiti e ga$es are "ad %or children.

Although ga$es "ring us $an# "ad conse&uences) the# so$eti$es help to unite people. I ha e seen $an# ga$ers %ounded a charit# to help poor people. The# ha e o%%line $eetings to raise $one# as well as to propagate "ad things when pla#ing ga$es too $uch. That(s the wa# ga$es are use%ul to us.

PART 3 &amous people in your country What kind of people become famous people these days? As I see it) the !ind o% people who "eco$e %a$ous these da#s are $ostl# in entertain$ent. The# can "e singers) actors) actresses or $odels. The# create st#les) %ashion and trends %or our societ#) %irst and %ore$ost teenagers) to %ollow the$. Is this different from the kind of achievement that made people famous in the past? In what way? There are so$e di%%erences %ro$ the !ind o% achie e$ent in the past. In the past) teachers and writers were er# %a$ous. The# were respected %or their wide and deep !nowledge. Nowada#s) howe er) people are not roo% and "ranch s$art to "e %a$ous. So$e people are ,ust %a$ous "ecause the# are good-loo!ing) ha e a little talent and especiall# "ecause the# are wealth# as the# thin! $one# opens $ost doors. How do you think people will become famous in the future? I predict that it will ha e two wa#s o% "eing %a$ous in the %uture. In the %irst one) people will tr# their ut$ost a"ilities to achie e great success in science) education or wor!. The other wa# is that the# $a# create scandals to attract ci ilians( attention. This wa# doesn(t re&uire $uch o% their e%%orts) "ut the %a$e will "e %ragile) as we usuall# sa# eas# co$e eas# go. 'eing in the public eye What are the good things about being famous? %re there any disadvantages? It will de%initel# sa# that "eing %a$ous has "oth "oons and draw"ac!s. 4a$ous people can use their %a$e to do charit#. .esides) the# can "e er# conspicuous when the# are in a $ultitude. 5owe er) the other side o% the coin is that the# don(t ha e their own pri acies. The# are $onitored e er#where and e er#ti$e. That is called 7#ou can(t ha e #our ca!e and eat it7.

How does the media in your country treat famous people? 8ournalists and %a$ous people alwa#s ha e an interdependent relationship. 5owe er) $edia so$eti$es a"use their power to pic! to pieces shortco$ings in others( pri ate li es intolera"l#. The# $a!e up unreal stories to attract readers. There%ore) their articles are usuall# insipid and shallow. These are things a %a$ous person who has to please e er#one %aces. Why do you think ordinary people are interested in the lives of famous people? As we ha e seen) the li es o% %a$ous people usuall# clea es to the de%inition o% per%ection and $eretriciousness. The# alwa#s appear in pu"lic with the $ost %ashiona"le and lu*urious appearances. It $eans that the# "# chance ha e interesting pri ate li es %or ordinar# people to stic! on.

Descri e a song or a !iece of music you like
+ove is always an issue forever and there are so many good songs about love, but the song /$o promise/ which is performed by !hayne %ard is my favorite song. "y crony has introduced me to listen to this song. 'his is a great ballad about meaning of love. Right from the first time listening to it, I was attracted by gentle tunes, pleasant but deep with burning desire for love. %hen watching the video clip, I got a lump in my throat. 'his song is about a young man who died when the love is unfinished. 0is soul is still attached, come back in the night to watch his lover and to say the last words before dawn. 'he lyrics are repeated many times to e1pect his lover to hear him. I have heard this song many times but still have not felt bored because of its simple tunes and because !hayne2s performance was out of the world. It makes me recognize that love survives even when we are no longer in this world anymore. Trich tu trang Web: WWW>ielts]siPon>coP I.4T( (peaking Part Q: describe a person

IELTS 5 Page 54 Part I What's your favorite colour? I love black because of many reasons. The first reason is personal. I'm not good at fashion and I don'n know how to have a good combination when I have to choose clothes. Therefore, black becomes my best choice because it can be easy to be mixed with other colours. In addition, black represents powerful and mysterious things.
, *z ,
Do you like the same colours now as you did when you were younger? In my oppinion, thoughts and interests of people, include me, are change over time. When I was a child, I was so in love with white. However,day by day, I reali ed that my real favorite is black What can you learn about a person from the colours they like? In my point of view,every colour has it own meanings. When you know someone's favorite colour, you can guess a little about their characteristics. !or example, red for brave people, purple for romances and black for mysterious ones Do any colours have a special meaning in your culture "es, in my country, there are some particular meanings of colours. #ed means good luck and happiness. Therefore it is used in decoration of weddings or opening ceremonies. In cotrast, black has led people tthink about bad things and funerals Part II: describe a song or a piece of music you like $%on't cry &oni$ is one of my favorite songs. It was sung by 'onway Twitty and &oni (ee. )even years ago, I heard it first when I was in T*+!( class, this was our listening exercise. The song tells us about a story between two neighbors, &immy and &oni. When &onni was a little girl, she was in love with &immy. ,nfortunately, &immy wanted to be a man with a success career first and for that reason, he denied her love. However, after five years living away from his hometown, &immy reali ed that &oni is his life's true love but it was too late. &oni has got married with &immy best friend. The sad ending of the story reminds me that there are two important things in every person's life which are love and career. If you focus too much on one thing, you might lose the other. *verall, Ilove it because of this smooth rhythm and meaningful lyric

SPEAKING PAGE 77 IELTS 5 PART I Do you prefer relaxing at home or going out in the evening? Why? I prefer to relax at home because of many reasons. !irstly, I-m out of my home whole day, and I want to have time with my family in my house. In every evening, my family has many activities. We have dinner together and share many funny things after a tired working day. Then I can teach my young brother, help my mother to complete the housework and watch football or news with my dad. This is a wonderful time in a day with me. )econdly, I don-t want to go out much because the traffict .ams are always big troubles. When you go out for an evening, what do you like to do?
, ** ,
When I go out with my friends, I always have a lot of funny things to do. We can go shopping, eating what we love and chatting. However, the activity that I like most is going to a coffeeshop with my friends. I have two close friends and we both love a coffeeshop named Tr/m. We go there whenever we have free time. It-s a chance to en.oy our favorite drinks, relax and have fun with each other How popular is this with other people in your country? "es, many people in my country love to go to a coffeeshop, especially people of the same age group with me. However, there are still some differences such as the style of the coffeeshop and the main reason to go there as well Is there any kind of entertainment you do not like? In my opinion, every kind of entertainment has it own upside and downside. We .ust have to balance between working and entertaining. 0ctually, if I have to choose a kind of entertainment that I don-t like, I wil say this is game online. In this kind, eveything is not true but it steals time and money from real life and it can make you become a game addict ie%"< -- "e<" + par" *3 , *o Oou preTer rela[ing at hoPe or going out in the eNeningX `YhOXa

Do you !refer rela#ing at home or going out in the evening?

, *Sz ,
In my opinion, I like rela1ing at home because I can listen to my favorite songs, read books and sleep. (uthermore, 3uiet atmosphere at home makes me feel comfortable when rela1ing. Going out in the evening is not my choice because it is too noisy, crowded and dangerous.
When you go out for an evening$ what do you like to do?

%hen going out for an evening, I like to go with my chums and coffee shop is a place which we usually go to. %e drink delicious beverage and chat together. %e often discuss learning and share our feelings. !ometimes, I like to walk in the park which is a stone2s throw away from my house to see people and outdoor activities galore.
%ow !o!ular is this with other !eo!le in your country?

It2s very likely that people in my country usually go to the coffee shop in the evening, especially young people. 'hey go with their friends to rela1 or discuss something. 4esides, there are also many people going out to have dinner with their families. 'o elderly, they prefer staying at home to watch television or 5ogging in the park.
&s there any kind of entertainment you do not like?

Personally, I do not like playing violent video games. "any people think that it is a way to rala1 but I do not think so. 'hese games can affect to players2 behaviors. In games, the characters have to fight against the others to survive so players are driven with characters in their battles. It makes players become more aggressive.

I won because I found many strange and good idioms such as dance to another tune, raining cats or dogs, paint the town red, etc. t the end of the party, I opened all gifts and took a lot of photos with my cronies.

1. %ow do you usually contact with your friends? I mostly contact my friends by phone, and I2ve started using the Internet to make video calls. In this way, I can talk to or send them a message to in3uire after my friends9 lives. lso I can discuss lessons
with them. 4ut I always try to visit them in person as often as I can. 2. Do you !refer to contact different !eo!le in different ways? Yes, I prefer to contact different people in different ways. I think I can use any ways to contact my friends because we are the same ages# but my parents want to hear my voice to ensure that I9m all right. 'herefore, I use email and te1t messages to contact with friends, but my parents prefer it if I phone them. 3. Do you find it easy to kee! in contact with friends and family? Yes. In my opinion, with the developing of technology we can be easy to keep in contact with friends and family in anywhere, at any time.
, *g ,
'hrough the internet, we can not only meet and make a small talk with our friends but also do business with colleagues or clients easily. %e can do the same with our family. !o distance is not a problem now, we can communicate with anyone we want. ". &n your country$ did !eo!le in the !ast kee! in contact in the same ways as they do today? $o. In my country, people in the past didn9t keep in contact in the same way as they do today. t that time, people used letter or phone to
contact with each other. 4ut now they use email, te1t messages, mobile phone, etc. I don2t write letters by hand because it2s so much easier to send an email that will arrive immediately. 4ut one of the disadvantages of mobile phone is that I don2t like listening to other people2s conversations in public places, and I don2t like it when someone2s phone rings in the cinema or during a lesson.

It depends on my feeling. %hen I am happy, everything can make me laugh. %hen I feel bad, I think it is hard to make me feel better and smile even though everyone gives me the thing I like best.
2.
Do you like making other !eo!le laugh?

Yes, I do. In my opinion, a sense of humor is one of the most important factors of successful communications. %hen you make other people laugh, they will be more friendly and open>minded with you. nd
last but not least, you brought pleasure to them and your heart overflowed with 5oy.
3.
Do you think its im!ortant for !eo!le to laugh?
, *-S ,
Yes, I do. I think a smile is a restorative because laughing can help people rela1 and burn off stress simultaneously. +aughing makes people 5oy have of living and become more sanguine.
".
&s laughing the same as feeling ha!!y$ do you think?

$o, I don9t think so. In my opinion, laughing is merely a part of feeling happy. You can laugh when you are happy but the contrary isn2t true. (eeling happy is an emotion but laughing is 5ust display of emotion.

I am studying )nglish to take the I)+'! test and I realized that idioms and academic vocabularies are very important in speaking strategies. I had a good idea to use them effectively. In any topic I try to bring idioms and academic words simultaneously into my speech as a game between friends, or turn a location into an ideal place to learn idioms, even I can talk about idioms in anywhere at any time, etc. "y crony and I have a book ma5or in idioms and academic words so we prepare our own speech based on a topic and e1change them with each other. %e like to talk about merican )nglish idioms such as <smell a

someone9s hair, for a song, paint the town red, etc=. !ometimes we play a game <who say as many sentences contain academic words as possible=. 4ut the competition is drawn because both of us can give sentences galore. fter a period using this way, not only my speaking
skill makes fast progress but also the other skills are improved. I have not understood reading tests completely before because they have academic words galore. I could not speak fluently or e1press my thoughts because I had a very limited vocabulary. !o learning and using academic words as well as idioms help me enlarge my vocabulary. $ow speaking and writing and reading are easier for me.
