LỜI NĨI ĐẦU

Xin chào!

Chúng ta đều có xuất phát điểm như nhau, thậm chí có khi xuất phát điểm của mình cịn tệ hơn của các bạn. Mình nhớ rất rõ thời phổ thơng, mình thậm chí cịn khơng được nổi 5,0 mơn Anh Văn. Tới mức cơ giáo chủ nhiệm cịn phải đi “xin” giáo viên tiếng Anh để mình đạt học sinh tiên tiến. Vào đại học, mình học kỹ thuật nên cũng có phần lơ là môn học này. Dù tham gia đến 4 - 5 khóa giao tiếp tại các trung tâm tiếng Anh nhưng kết quả đều khơng đến đâu, hồn tồn dậm chân tại chỗ. Quanh đi quẩn lại vẫn chỉ nhớ những câu giao tiếp cơ bản “Hello. How are you?” “I am fine. Thank you. And you?”.

May mắn thay, mình đã được động viên, khích lệ bởi một người thầy tâm huyết với nghề. Thầy đã hướng mình đến một mục tiêu rõ ràng là phải có tiếng Anh giỏi, phải có điểm IELTS để mở mang đầu óc, để có thể du học. Mọi thứ thay đổi nhanh chóng. Chỉ sau hơn một năm, từ một học sinh mất gốc tiếng Anh, mình thi IELTS được 7.0 và tự tin “chém gió” với Tây khơng phải “xoắn” điều gì.

Trong quá trình học, mình cũng gặp rất nhiều khó khăn như các bạn, đặc biệt là ở kỹ năng Writing. Có rất nhiều lúc đọc những đề bài Task 2 mà mình thực sự chịu chết, khơng có ý tưởng, khơng có từ vựng, thậm chí có lúc cịn khơng hiểu đề bài nói cái gì. Bởi vậy, mình cũng rất lo khi học sinh của mình đi thi run rủi gặp phải những đề khó

như thế, và điều đó đã thúc đẩy mình soạn các tài liệu hỗ trợ cho các bạn như “Kho Ý Tưởng Writing Task 2”, hay “Kho Từ Vựng Nâng Cao Task 2”. Chưa dừng lại ở đó,

mình cũng muốn gửi gắm thêm cho các bạn một tài liệu nữa: “IELTS Writing – Challenging Tasks” – tài liệu bao gồm 16 đề và bài mẫu IELTS Writing Task 1+2 siêu khó đã lấy đi rất nhiều tiền và nước mắt của thí sinh. Trong tài liệu này sẽ đi kèm với bài viết mẫu tương ứng với từng câu hỏi, đã được viết bởi phòng Học Thuật của IELTS Xuân Phi và chấm, chữa bởi các cựu Examiner.

Mình hy vọng tài liệu này sẽ giúp các bạn giảm bớt nỗi lo đề khó khi đi thi, và có thể tự tin chinh phục điểm IELTS mà các bạn mong muốn.

Chúc các bạn thành công!

TASK 1

</div>Trang 5<div class="page_container" data-page="5">

1) The mechanic of a hot balloon.

The picture below shows how a hot balloon works. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features. Write at least 150 words.

The diagram illustrates the working mechanism and the structure of a hot balloon. Overall, a hot balloon comprises four main components, namely an envelope, a skirt, a burner and a basket. In addition, the operation of the hot balloon is based on the thermal circulation of air.

Regarding the balloon construction, the largest part is the envelope, which consists of several gores of fabric. These gores are made from multiple smaller panels. On the top of the envelope, there is a parachute valve functioning as a self-sealing flap to regulate hot air to escape at a controlled pace. At the bottom of the envelope, the skirt is attached to ropes which are used to hold a basket hanging below it. Above the basket, a burner including propane cylinders is fixed with a metal frame.

In terms of the working mechanism, propane is mixed with air in the cylinder to produce hot air. The heated air inside the envelope is lighter than the cool air outside, which

makes the balloon buoyant and lifts the basket. (174 words)

2) The development of horse through time.

The diagrams below show the development of the horse over a period of 40 million years. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The diagram illustrates the evolution of horses after 40 million years, focusing on the changes in foot structure.

Overall, as the animal grew more prominent in size, their feet elongated and broadened and their paws were eventually replaced by sole hoofs.

Eohippus, which existed around 40 million years ago, is distinguishable by a much smaller body compared to the modern horse. Its tail and legs were relatively shorter, and there were 4 thin phalanges on each paw. 10 million years later, the evolution resulted in the appearance of Mesohippus, which had a slightly larger body and a longer tail. Moreover, the foot had by then lost 1 toe and the middle one became larger. Notably, the Mesohippus had an additional tuft of hare on the neck which would later turn into the horse’s mane.

15 million years ago, the Merychippus appeared. This prehistoric horse more resembled the modern horse however was marginally smaller in size and still possessed 3-toed paws. It had considerably heftier digits compared to its predecessor, a larger tail and a thicker mane on the neck. Finally, the horse today emerged with a bulkier body, a full

mane, a thicker tail and all 3 phalanges fused into a single hoof. (203 words)

3) The development of cutting tools made of stones.

The diagram below shows the development of cutting tools in the Stone Age. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

The given diagram compares stone age cutting tools at 1.4 million and 0.8 million years ago. Overall, the later one appears to be bigger in size and its shape was also better refined with sharper, more uniform edges and a pointed end.

To begin with, tool A, dated 1.4 million years ago, has a height and width of about 7.5 and 3 centimeters respectively, and is around 1-2cm thick. From the front view, there were large random cuts which created rough edges and a tapered end. From the other sides, similar cuts can be seen, and a sharp end was formed at the top of the tool. Turning to Tool B, we can see that after 0.6 million years, the cutting tool had doubled in size, with a height of about 10 centimeters and a width of slightly over 6 centimeters, whereas it retained a similar thickness. A look from the front and the back of tool B reveals that its outer shape became significantly finer with a sharp pointy top and a smooth curved bottom. Its side view also witnessed a remarkable transformation which

made the tool take the shape of a leaf with a sharp edge running across the tool. (202

4) The structure of bridges.

The three pictures below show three different kinds of bridges. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

The pictures illustrate the structural designs of three different types of bridges. Overall, concrete girder bridges are potentially the longest, whereas suspension bridges are the highest. Additionally, each bridge is constructed depending on different topographical backgrounds and are suitable for different sizes of water vehicles.

Arch bridges, often built over a lake, are the smallest type of bridge. This can only serve the smallest boats. The maximum length of this type of bridge is 200 metres, which is the shortest and the maximum height is 100 metres, which is the lowest. Moreover, these bridges have no piers but only an arch in the middle.

Concrete girder bridges, connecting two river banks, can be extended unlimitedly based on the number of piers. The distance between each pier is up to 200 metres and the allowed height is under 300 metres. Regarding the vehicle passibility, only medium-sized ships can sail underneath these bridges.

Finally, suspension bridges can be constructed on the deep seabed. Two piers are located on each side of the bridges, with the distance ranging from 400 to 2000 metres. They are constructed on two areas of land and anchored to the bridge by a series of suspender cables. The largest boats can have a journey through this type due to their

architectural design. (214 words)

5) The building process of an igloo.

The diagrams illustrate the process of building an igloo

</div>Trang 10<div class="page_container" data-page="10">

The diagram illustrates the process of building an igloo from snow. Overall, there are thirteen steps, beginning with locating a suitable area and finishing with covering the entrance hole with snow blocks.

The process commences with a search for a hard-packed snow place. After that, ice blocks are cut using a snow saw to form rectangular ones with appropriate sizes from which large blocks are used for the foundation. Upon completing the building of the base, the edges of the blocks are flattened and they are used to create the shape of the shelter. In the next step, an entrance is made by digging a hole under the wall and an oversized ice block is fitted to cover the dome.

Regarding the remaining steps, a shovel is used to shield the house with loose snow which is packed into crevices. Afterwards, the interior surface is smoothed by hand and any excess snow is removed from the igloo. Following this, another hole is dug to construct an entrance with the appearance according to the owner’ preference. Finally,

the whole will be covered with extra snow blocks. (185 words)

6) The development of a city.

The map below shows the changes of a city between 1950 and present. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

The map illustrates the development of a city since 1950. Overall, the city has become

larger and more accessible with the addition of more housing areas, business district

and transport infrastructure.

In the northern half of the city, the main residential area has now expanded significantly to the south and more main roads have been extended on this side of the city. In addition, the population of the city increased ten times from 20,000 to 200,000

In the south-east of the city, the river has been dammed to form a lake. This lake stretches from the western to eastern edge of the residential area, which replaced that part of the river. A bridge, which used to connect two sides of the river, is presently spanned over the lake. Near the dam, another bridge has been constructed, which is in conjunction with a new main road. More business areas have been built on the south bank of the lake, in which the first small government building has remained the same. Further to the south, there is a second government house, which is two times bigger than

the first one. Finally, the airport located to the east has tripled in size. (199 words)

TASK 2

</div>Trang 13<div class="page_container" data-page="13">

1) Children beginning education at 7 years old.

Some people think that children should begin their formal education at a very early age. Some think they should begin at least 7 years old. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

It has been argued by some that children should start learning formally by the time they become toddlers, but others state they should wait until they turn 7. While starting formal education early can help ease parental duties, I would assert that it is more preferable to delay formal schooling until children reach 7 years of age as it is less stressful for them especially during the pivotal stages of early childhood.

In most nations today, parents must resort to sending children to school early in order to have more time for work. A key reason is that with growing workloads and increasing living costs, they may be compelled to send their children to kindergartens and childcare centers, which can in turn afford them more time for work. In the US, more than half of children aged 5 and below are enrolled in either a kindergarten or a childcare center with the majority of them having at least one employed parent. This is mainly due to parents wanting to devote more time toward their careers, thus forcing them to outsource their child-rearing obligations to others.

However, postponing education until the age of 7 might engender better overall development. This can be attributed to the fact that academic study during children’s early years can lead to unwanted stress. Many young children are cognitively and emotionally unable to handle the often-burdensome schoolwork and rules at schools. Hence, this practice is not necessarily ideal for those in the initial stages of their lives, who should be encouraged to enjoy their childhood rather than be overly-burdened in their studies. In some Nordic countries, children do not start their formal education until they reach 8 years of age, with much of their early childhood education defined by play-based programs that emphasise fun and social skills. This has resulted in those countries boasting some of the best performing students in the world, often ranking highly in most educational surveys.

In conclusion, although sending children to school early can relieve parents of the burdensome pressure of parenthood, I contend that delaying their education until they turn 7 is more preferable since it reduces stress during their early years. Ultimately, national school boards should offer the option for parents wanting to wait

until their offspring reach 7 years of age. (383 words)

2) The effect of tourism on culture.

Nowadays, international tourism is the biggest industry in the world. Unfortunately, international tourism creates tension rather than understanding between people from different cultures. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some assert that international tourism does not unite but rather divides people of different cultures. I disagree with this stance since international tourism is effective in encouraging cultural exchange.

Critics argue that international tourism can cause friction between cultures since some foreign tourists may engage in impolite behaviour. A certain segment of foreign tourists often travels abroad to participate in behavior that is not acceptable in their own countries, which can leave locals with a bad impression of the countries those tourists are from. For instance, Thailand has long been popular for sex tourism, where foreign men travel there to engage in prostitution with women of varying ages, some of them underage. This has caused the locals in Thailand to regard these foreign nations unfavourably and to treat people from these nations with suspicion.

However, in the majority of cases international tourism can forge mutual understandings between cultures as it fosters meaningful exchanges. By travelling abroad, each nation’s population will likely appreciate more about the culture of the country in question. For example, many Americans had a negative perception of Cuba due to the historically fraught relationship between the two countries in the 1960s. However, once travel restrictions were lifted, many came away surprised with the rich cultural traditions that populate the country, from its well-preserved urban architecture to its varied musical influences and styles. Hence many Americans started to perceive Cuba more positively owing to their greater firsthand appreciation of its culture.

In conclusion, though international tourism can divide cultures due to the unethical actions of a certain segment of foreign tourists, it can also unite those cultures by fostering valuable exchanges between them. Once governments start to enforce laws against such unethical behaviour more strictly, international tourism will further flourish in terms of profits and the encouragement of inter-cultural exchange.
