Học IELTS Speaking mà chỉ lo chăm chăm vào các bộ đề nói IELTS part 2 và part 3 thì không ổn đâu nhé! Part 1 là phần hỏi về những câu hỏi cá nhân của speaking có lẽ bị “bơ” bởi nhiều bạn do nó khá dễ, không cần trả lời dài và phức tạp, tuy nhiên nó vẫn là 1 phần quan trọng do nó thiên về tiếng anh giao tiếp và là phần đầu tiên trong phần thi speaking. Câu hỏi speaking part 1 khá là ngẫu nhiên và khó đoán. Do nó là phần khá dễ nên nếu bạn trả lời không hay hoặc không tốt thì nó sẽ lại ấn tượng xấu cho examiner, càng dễ thì càng phải làm tốt. Vậy nên, chuẩn bị thật kĩ cho nó thì không thừa tý nào? Hôm nay cô cung cấp cho các em trọn bộ các câu hỏi có thể ra trong phần speaking part 1, lưu về và tìm ngay partner để luyện nha
