IELTS TUTOR gợi ý bài tham khảo:

Today, I would like to tell you about my all-time favorite singer, Sơn Tùng M-TP, a Vietnamese pop icon whose music has captivated audiences both domestically and internationally.

I’ve been a die-hard fan of Sơn Tùng since he released his debut single back in 2013 at the age of 19. His rise to stardom was nothing short of meteoric. He has become a household name (tên quen thuộc – a well-known and familiar person), not only in Vietnam but across Asia, thanks to his genre-blending style (phong cách pha trộn thể loại – a mixture of different musical styles) that fuses Vietnamese folk melodies with contemporary pop, K-pop, and Western beats.>> tham khảo CẦN VIẾT & THU ÂM BAO NHIÊU BÀI ĐỂ ĐẠT 8.0 SPEAKING & 7.0 WRITING?

What really sets him apart is his boundary-pushing creativity (sự sáng tạo vượt giới hạn – innovative ideas that go beyond the norm). Take, for example, the record-shattering (phá kỷ lục – breaking existing records) music video “Hãy Trao Cho Anh”, featuring Snoop Dogg. It racked up (thu hút – to collect or achieve a large number) millions of views within hours and made headlines worldwide. The song blends Latin reggaeton, hip hop, and tropical house – a genre mash-up (sự pha trộn thể loại – combination of multiple music genres) that showcases his versatility as an artist (sự đa tài của nghệ sĩ – ability to adapt and perform various styles).

Another reason why I admire him so much is his immaculate stage presence (sự xuất hiện hoàn hảo trên sân khấu – flawless performance on stage). Whether he’s delivering a soul-stirring ballad (bài ballad lay động tâm hồn – deeply emotional song) or performing an electrifying dance number (màn trình diễn sôi động – high-energy performance), he always commands the stage (làm chủ sân khấu – captures audience’s attention effortlessly).

His fans, who go by the name “Sky,” are incredibly loyal. I consider myself part of that tight-knit fan community (cộng đồng người hâm mộ gắn bó – a closely connected group of fans), who always eagerly await his next chart-topping hit (ca khúc đứng đầu bảng xếp hạng – song that becomes very popular). What makes him even more admirable is that despite his immense fame, he remains down-to-earth (khiêm tốn – humble and approachable) and deeply connected to his roots.

To sum up, Sơn Tùng M-TP is not just a singer to me; he’s an inspiration, a trendsetter, and a trailblazer (người tiên phong – a person who is the first to do something new). His music doesn’t just entertain – it tells stories, evokes emotions, and brings people together.

❓ Do different age groups like different music?

Yes, I believe they do because musical preferences (sở thích âm nhạc – the types of music people enjoy) often reflect generational values (giá trị thế hệ – cultural beliefs common among people of the same age group); for example, older adults may enjoy classical or folk tunes, while teenagers lean toward bass-heavy beats (âm thanh trầm mạnh – music with strong low-frequency sounds) like EDM.
Another reason is that different age groups are exposed to different cultural milestones (dấu mốc văn hóa – important events or trends in society), which shape their taste; for instance, people who grew up in the 90s might still enjoy grunge or early hip-hop, which marked their formative years (giai đoạn hình thành – the time when someone’s character is developed).

❓ Should kids learn musical instruments?

Absolutely, because playing an instrument improves cognitive flexibility (sự linh hoạt về nhận thức – the brain’s ability to adapt and switch thinking), which supports academic achievement; for example, children who play the piano tend to perform better in math due to improved pattern recognition.
Moreover, it helps with emotional regulation (điều tiết cảm xúc – the ability to manage one’s feelings), as music offers an outlet for self-expression during stressful moments; a shy child, for instance, might gain confidence through regular violin performances at school recitals.

❓ Why do some prefer live music over recordings?

Some people prefer live music because of the immersive atmosphere (không khí sống động – an environment that deeply engages the senses) it creates, which makes the experience unforgettable; for example, attending a Coldplay concert with lights and crowd interaction is vastly different from listening at home.
In addition, spontaneous improvisation (sự ứng biến ngẫu hứng – unplanned creative changes during a performance) adds uniqueness to each show; jazz fans, for instance, love how no two live performances are ever exactly the same.
