🔥Bài mẫu IELTS Speaking Part 1 chủ đề "Saying 'Thank You'" kèm từ vựng (Quý 2/2025)

Have you ever sent a thank you card to others?

Yes, I once gave a handwritten thank-you note (lá thư cảm ơn viết tay – a personal, written message of appreciation) to my high school teacher who supported me during a nerve-racking time (khoảng thời gian căng thẳng – very stressful period).
Sending a physical token of gratitude (một biểu hiện vật lý của lòng biết ơn – a tangible sign of being thankful) makes the appreciation feel more sincere and thoughtful.

Do people in your country often say 'thank you'?

Yes, in my country, it is deeply ingrained (ăn sâu – firmly fixed or established) in our culture to express appreciation, especially in formal settings.
We tend to use phrases like “I appreciate it” or “much obliged” in daily life, which shows social etiquette (nghi thức xã hội – acceptable social behavior).
For example, when someone holds the door open, people usually respond with a polite nod or a quick “thanks.”

On what occasions do you say 'thank you'?

I express gratitude not just for favors but also for kind gestures (hành động tử tế – actions done out of kindness) or emotional support during hard times.
Whether it’s receiving help with assignments or emotional encouragement, I make sure to acknowledge the effort (ghi nhận sự nỗ lực – show recognition of someone's actions).
For instance, after a close friend stayed up all night to help me with my presentation, I took her out for dinner as a token of appreciation.

Why do people need to say 'thank you'?

Showing appreciation strengthens relationships by fostering mutual respect (thúc đẩy sự tôn trọng lẫn nhau – promoting shared regard for each other).>> tham khảo CẦN VIẾT & THU ÂM BAO NHIÊU BÀI ĐỂ ĐẠT 8.0 SPEAKING & 7.0 WRITING?
It also creates a positive ripple effect (hiệu ứng lan tỏa tích cực – a spreading impact of goodwill), encouraging kindness in return.
For example, thanking a colleague for their support can inspire a more collaborative work atmosphere.
