🔥Bài mẫu IELTS Speaking Part 1 chủ đề "Being busy'" kèm từ vựng (Quý 3/2025)

❓ Are you often busy?

Yes, I’m usually snowed under with work (bận ngập đầu – overwhelmed with too many tasks), especially during exam periods or project deadlines. This intense schedule means I barely have time to catch my breath (lấy lại hơi – rest briefly when exhausted), let alone enjoy some leisure activities. For instance, last week I had to juggle three presentations and two reports all within five days.

❓ Why are you busy?

It’s because I’m currently balancing a demanding academic workload (khối lượng học tập nặng – lots of difficult school tasks) and part-time responsibilities. These time-consuming commitments (nhiệm vụ tốn thời gian – tasks that require a lot of time) often leave me drained by the end of the day. For example, I work as a teaching assistant every afternoon after finishing morning lectures at university.>> tham khảo CẦN VIẾT & THU ÂM BAO NHIÊU BÀI ĐỂ ĐẠT 8.0 SPEAKING & 7.0 WRITING?

❓ When are you busy?

I’m typically up to my ears (bận tối mắt – extremely busy) during weekdays when assignments, group projects, and part-time jobs pile up. Weekends are slightly better, giving me a breather (một khoảng nghỉ – short break to relax). For example, I usually spend Saturday mornings catching up on sleep and recharging for the week ahead.

❓ Are you busier now than when you were a child?

Absolutely, my life now is a far cry from (hoàn toàn khác – very different from) the carefree days of my childhood. Back then, my schedule revolved around playtime and cartoons, but now I’m constantly chasing deadlines and managing a jam-packed calendar. For instance, I barely get eight hours of sleep these days, whereas I used to nap twice a day as a kid.
