🔥Bài mẫu IELTS Speaking Part 1 chủ đề "Public Transport" kèm từ vựng (Quý 2/2025)

1. What's the most popular means of transportation in your hometown?

In my hometown, commuter buses (commuter buses – xe buýt dành cho người đi làm – buses used regularly by people to travel to and from work) are by far the most widely used mode of transit (mode of transit – phương thức di chuyển – a method of transportation).
They are budget-friendly (budget-friendly – tiết kiệm chi phí – inexpensive or affordable), which makes them accessible to students and low-income earners.
For instance, a one-way ride (one-way ride – chuyến đi một chiều – a trip in a single direction) costs less than a bottle of water, which is ideal for daily commuters.
In fact, during peak hours, these buses are packed like sardines (idiom – đông như nêm), proving how indispensable they are in people’s routines.

2. Do you prefer public transportation or private transportation?

Personally, I lean towards private vehicles (private vehicles – phương tiện cá nhân – cars, motorbikes, or any self-owned mode of transport) because they offer unmatched flexibility (flexibility – tính linh hoạt – the ability to adapt or change easily).
Unlike public transport, I can leave anytime and make last-minute detours (last-minute detours – đổi hướng phút chót – sudden changes in direction or route) without worrying about timetables.
For example, I often use my motorbike to run errands in different districts without sticking to a strict schedule (strict schedule – lịch trình nghiêm ngặt – a fixed plan with no freedom).
Although public transit (paraphrase – phương tiện công cộng) is eco-friendly, it simply doesn’t suit my spontaneous lifestyle.

3. Will you use public transport more in the future?

I think I will make greater use of mass transit systems (mass transit systems – hệ thống vận tải công cộng quy mô lớn – organized public transportation like subways and buses) when my job requires daily commuting.
As fuel prices continue to rise, switching to public options (switching to public options – chuyển sang phương án công cộng – choosing public transport instead of private vehicles) seems both practical and cost-saving.
A case in point is my cousin, who recently ditched his car for the metro to save money and time during his 9-to-5 job.
To me, using buses or trains in the future could be a win-win situation (idiom – tình huống đôi bên cùng có lợi), especially in urban areas.

4. What are the benefits of making plans?

One clear advantage of strategic planning (strategic planning – lập kế hoạch có chiến lược – the act of creating well-thought-out plans) is that it helps individuals stay organized and goal-oriented.
It also reduces the likelihood of last-minute chaos (last-minute chaos – sự hỗn loạn vào phút chót – sudden confusion due to lack of preparation).>> tham khảo CẦN VIẾT & THU ÂM BAO NHIÊU BÀI ĐỂ ĐẠT 8.0 SPEAKING & 7.0 WRITING?
For example, before traveling, I always prepare a detailed itinerary (detailed itinerary – lịch trình chi tiết – a plan of travel with all events and destinations), which keeps everything under control.
As the saying goes, “Failing to plan is planning to fail” (idiom – thất bại trong việc lên kế hoạch là đang lên kế hoạch để thất bại), highlighting the importance of preparation.
