Nhiều thí sinh sẽ đưa ra câu trả lời trực tiếp vào phần thông tin, ví dụ như sau:
Maybe once a week
In New World Department store
At weekends and in the evenings
In the evening before I sleep
My parents or my friends.
Đối với những câu hỏi này, chúng ta có cấu trúc “IT DEPENDS”. Khi dùng cấu
trúc này, chúng ta có thể đưa vào hai tình huống đối lập, nó sẽ giúp kéo dài câu trả
lời và sử dụng được các từ nối chỉ sự tương phản
Câu mở đầu
Well to be honest …
Actually to be fair …
In actual fact …
Well in truth …
Well in all fairness …
In fact, in all honesty …
Tiếp theo, lựa chọn một cụm “DEPENDS”
… I think I would have to say that it is really depends.
… I suppose I would have to maintain that it kind of depends really.
… I imagine that it would depend on the situation.
… I guess my answer would be determined by different conditions.
Sau đó, lựa chọn một cum từ nối
Like for instance …
Like more specifically
You know like, to be exact …

Like, to be more direct …
Phần tiếp theo rất quan trong, đó là sử dụng chính xác cấu trúc câu điều kiện
để đưa ra tình huống đối lập
If (situation A) … then I will most likely …
If (situation A) … then it’s quite possible that I will …
If (situation A) … then as a consequence I will probably …
If (situation A) … then I guess it’s quite likely that I will …
Câu trả lời phải đưa ra hai tình huống đối lập nhau, dưới đây là một số trường hợp
gợi ý
Situation A Situation B
Weekdays Weekends
Summer Winter
Good weather Bad weather
Term time School holidays
If I’m alone If I’m with friends
If I’ve got a lot of time If I’m fairly busy
Vậy câu mở đầu có thể như sau:
Well in all fairness, I imagine that it would depend on the situation. Like for
instance, if (situation A) … then I will most likely … so/because/in fact …
Vận dụng:
Trả lời câu hỏi sau, đưa ra tình huống thứ nhất
“How much time do you spend listening to music?”
Một số cụm từ để miêu tả sự đối lập giữa hai tình huống
Whereas, in contrast...
Whereas on the other hand …
Though, at the same time …
While, oppositely …
