What type of car do you like?

I’m particularly drawn to fuel-efficient vehicles (xe tiết kiệm nhiên liệu) because they are economical and more environmentally friendly. They also tend to be low-maintenance (ít tốn chi phí bảo dưỡng), so I wouldn’t have to fork out for (chi trả một khoản tiền lớn cho) expensive repairs very often. For example, I’d probably opt for (lựa chọn) a compact hybrid that is practical for day-to-day commuting (việc đi lại hằng ngày).

What colour car would you choose to buy?

I’d go for a sleek-looking (có vẻ ngoài sang trọng, hiện đại) black car because that shade gives it a sophisticated and timeless appearance. Dark colours can also exude (toát lên) a sense of elegance without being overly flashy or attention-grabbing. For instance, a jet-black sedan (xe sedan màu đen tuyền) would suit my personal taste perfectly.

Do you think car colours are important?

Yes, I’d say they matter to some extent because the colour can reflect someone’s personality (phản ánh tính cách của ai đó) and influence how a vehicle is perceived. A bold colour choice (lựa chọn màu sắc táo bạo) may make a car stand out, whereas neutral shades tend to have a more understated appeal. For example, someone who wants to make a statement (thể hiện cá tính/gây ấn tượng) might deliberately choose a bright red or electric-blue car.>> 🔥 Form đăng kí giải đề thi thật IELTS 4 kĩ năng kèm bài giải bộ đề 100 đề PART 2 IELTS SPEAKING quý đang thi (update hàng tuần) từ IELTS TUTOR

What do you usually do when there's a traffic jam?

When I’m caught in a gridlocked road (con đường bị tắc nghẽn nghiêm trọng), I usually stay patient and listen to music or a podcast to kill time (giết thời gian). Rather than getting worked up, I try to look for an alternative route (tìm tuyến đường thay thế) on my phone if the congestion seems particularly severe. For example, I might take a detour (đi đường vòng) through a quieter residential area to avoid the worst of the bottleneck.

Do you prefer to be a driver or a passenger?

I’d much rather be a driver because I enjoy having full control over the journey (toàn quyền kiểm soát hành trình) and deciding where and when to stop. Being behind the wheel also gives me a greater sense of independence, whereas sitting in the back can sometimes feel rather restrictive. For example, on a long-distance trip, I’d prefer to take the wheel (lái xe) myself so I can adjust the route according to my own preferences.
