III. Phân tích
Today, I would like to tell you about one of my most cherished (được trân quý – deeply valued or loved) childhood memories – the time I went on a family picnic by the river. I was about eight years old, and I went there with my parents and my little sister.
We spent the whole afternoon playing games, flying kites, and enjoying my mom’s homemade lunch. The weather was perfect – sunny but breezy – which made the day even more delightful and picture-perfect (đẹp như tranh – extremely attractive or pleasant to look at).
The reason I remember this so fondly is that it was a truly heartwarming (ấm lòng – causing feelings of happiness and affection) experience that strengthened our family bond. First of all, it gave us a chance to escape from our hectic (bận rộn – full of activity and noise) city life and reconnect with nature. I can still vividly recall the crystal-clear water reflecting the sky and the sound of laughter echoing along the riverbank. It was a moment of pure bliss (hạnh phúc tột độ – perfect happiness), where all our worries seemed to melt away.>> 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
Secondly, that picnic helped me appreciate the value of togetherness (sự gắn bó – the state of being close to others emotionally). My dad taught me how to fly a kite that day, and when it finally soared high above the trees, I felt an incredible sense of elation (niềm hân hoan – great happiness and excitement). That feeling still lingers whenever I think about my childhood. It was such a memory-etched (in đậm trong ký ức – deeply remembered) moment that reminds me how precious simple joys can be when shared with loved ones.
To me, that day wasn’t just a picnic; it was a soul-nourishing (bồi dưỡng tâm hồn – making one feel emotionally fulfilled) experience that shaped how I define happiness — not through luxury, but through connection and laughter.

IV. PART 3
Question 1: In what ways can happy childhood memories impact a person’s emotional well-being?
Happy childhood memories significantly shape a person’s emotional resilience (khả năng phục hồi cảm xúc – the ability to recover from emotional difficulties) in later life. When people grow up surrounded by laughter and affection, they tend to handle stress or adversity more positively. For instance, adults who recall being encouraged during failures often stay optimistic even when facing obstacles. Moreover, such memories nurture a sense of belonging (nuôi dưỡng cảm giác thuộc về – the feeling of being accepted and valued by others), which contributes to emotional stability. Those with strong family ties are less prone to loneliness and depression. On the other hand, the absence of joyful recollections can lead to emotional detachment in adulthood. Therefore, early positive experiences are the emotional anchor that sustains individuals through life’s challenges.
Vocabulary
emotional resilience → Synonyms: mental toughness, inner strength, psychological endurance | Antonyms: fragility, vulnerability, sensitivity
nurture a sense of belonging → Synonyms: foster connection, build attachment, strengthen ties | Antonyms: alienate, isolate, detach

“Therefore, early positive experiences are the emotional anchor that sustains individuals through life’s challenges.” → Mệnh đề quan hệ rút gọn (“that sustains…”) và ẩn chủ ngữ → Do đó, những trải nghiệm tích cực sớm là mỏ neo cảm xúc giúp con người vượt qua thử thách cuộc sống.
Question 2: How do childhood experiences contribute to a person’s overall happiness in adulthood?
Childhood experiences play a pivotal role (vai trò then chốt – of crucial importance) in determining one’s life satisfaction later on. When children are exposed to positive reinforcement and affection, they develop a growth mindset (tư duy phát triển – belief that abilities can be developed through effort) that enhances their self-esteem. For instance, a child praised for creativity may grow into an innovative adult with high self-worth. Additionally, memorable experiences instill lasting values (truyền đạt giá trị bền vững – to deeply implant moral principles) such as empathy and gratitude. These core traits help adults form fulfilling relationships and appreciate small joys in life. Without such formative experiences, happiness might become fleeting or superficial. Thus, the emotional groundwork built in childhood largely dictates adult happiness.
Vocabulary
pivotal role → Synonyms: crucial part, central role, key function | Antonyms: minor role, trivial part, insignificant contribution
growth mindset → Synonyms: positive attitude, learning orientation, improvement mindset | Antonyms: fixed mindset, defeatist attitude, rigid outlook>> IELTS TUTOR gợi ý tham khảo CẦN VIẾT & THU ÂM BAO NHIÊU BÀI ĐỂ ĐẠT 8.0 SPEAKING & 7.0 WRITING?

“Without such formative experiences, happiness might become fleeting or superficial.” → Mệnh đề điều kiện đảo ngữ rút gọn “Without + N…” → Nếu không có những trải nghiệm hình thành đó, hạnh phúc có thể trở nên thoáng qua.
Question 3: Do you think it’s important for parents to create opportunities for their children to have memorable experiences?
Absolutely, parents have a crucial responsibility (trách nhiệm quan trọng – duty of great importance) to provide meaningful experiences for their children. By organizing family-bonding activities (hoạt động gắn kết gia đình – shared experiences that strengthen family relationships) such as weekend picnics or creative workshops, parents nurture emotional closeness. These activities help children associate family with warmth and support. Furthermore, memorable experiences stimulate children’s intellectual curiosity (sự tò mò trí tuệ – desire to learn and explore new ideas), encouraging them to explore beyond the classroom. For example, visiting a science museum can spark a lifelong interest in technology. Without these moments, family connections might weaken over time. Hence, it’s essential for parents to intentionally create enriching memories.
Vocabulary
crucial responsibility → Synonyms: key obligation, major duty, essential role | Antonyms: minor task, optional duty, unimportant matter
family-bonding activities → Synonyms: shared experiences, group events, communal gatherings | Antonyms: isolated activities, solitary hobbies, individual tasks
intellectual curiosity → Synonyms: thirst for knowledge, inquisitiveness, desire to learn | Antonyms: disinterest, apathy, indifference
Difficult Grammar
“By organizing family-bonding activities such as weekend picnics…” → Cấu trúc By + V-ing diễn tả phương tiện → Bằng cách tổ chức các hoạt động gắn kết.
“Without these moments, family connections might weaken over time.” → Cấu trúc điều kiện rút gọn với without.
Question 4: Can you discuss any long-term effects of positive childhood experiences on family relationships?
Positive childhood experiences have enduring impacts (tác động lâu dài – effects lasting over a long period) on how families function. Shared traditions like Sunday dinners promote intergenerational harmony (sự hòa hợp giữa các thế hệ – mutual understanding between family generations). These rituals strengthen trust and open communication within the family. Moreover, when children are raised in emotionally secure environments, they often replicate such nurturing behavior (hành vi nuôi dưỡng – caring and supportive actions) in their own families later on. For instance, someone who grew up in a loving household tends to become a compassionate parent. Over time, this cycle of positivity reinforces strong family bonds. Therefore, childhood affection acts as a blueprint for future relationships.
Vocabulary
enduring impacts → Synonyms: lasting effects, prolonged influence, sustained consequence | Antonyms: temporary impact, short-term effect, fleeting influence
intergenerational harmony → Synonyms: cross-generational peace, familial understanding, generational cohesion | Antonyms: family conflict, generational gap, discord
nurturing behavior → Synonyms: caring conduct, supportive actions, compassionate attitude | Antonyms: neglect, indifference, hostility
Difficult Grammar
“Shared traditions like Sunday dinners promote intergenerational harmony.” → Mệnh đề chính + cụm danh từ liệt kê.
“Therefore, childhood affection acts as a blueprint for future relationships.” → Ẩn chủ ngữ “it” để câu tự nhiên hơn.
Question 5: Why do some people remember more of their childhood than others?
The extent to which people remember their childhood largely depends on cognitive capacity (năng lực nhận thức – the brain’s ability to process and store information). Individuals with stronger memory systems are more likely to retain vivid details of past events. For example, people with excellent memory recall even specific smells or sounds from childhood. Additionally, emotionally charged moments (khoảnh khắc đầy cảm xúc – experiences with strong emotional impact) are more likely to be stored deeply in one’s mind. A child who received an unexpected gift, for instance, might remember that moment for decades. On the contrary, routine or dull experiences fade quickly. Thus, both biological and emotional factors determine how well childhood memories are preserved.
Vocabulary
cognitive capacity → Synonyms: mental ability, intellectual power, brain capability | Antonyms: mental limitation, cognitive decline, intellectual weakness
emotionally charged moments → Synonyms: heartfelt experiences, touching events, intense memories | Antonyms: neutral experiences, dull moments, indifferent events
Difficult Grammar
“The extent to which people remember…” → Mệnh đề danh từ bắt đầu bằng “the extent to which” – cấu trúc học thuật chỉ mức độ.
“A child who received an unexpected gift…” → Mệnh đề quan hệ xác định (who…)
Question 6: Why do you think some people have a better memory than others?
There are several factors that determine why some individuals exhibit superior memory retention (khả năng lưu giữ ký ức vượt trội – the ability to keep memories effectively). Genetic makeup plays a significant part since certain people inherit stronger neurological functions. Moreover, individuals who engage in mentally stimulating activities (hoạt động kích thích trí tuệ – tasks that challenge the brain), such as puzzles or learning languages, tend to have sharper recall. These activities act as exercise for the brain, improving cognitive performance. For instance, people who read regularly or play chess can remember details better. Conversely, a sedentary lifestyle (lối sống ít vận động – a way of life with little physical or mental activity) may dull mental alertness. Hence, both nature and nurture interact to shape memory ability.>> IELTS TUTOR có hướng dẫn kĩ PHÂN TÍCH ĐỀ THI THẬT TASK 1 (Complaint letter) NGÀY 04/8/2020 IELTS WRITING GENERAL MÁY TÍNH (kèm bài được sửa hs đi thi)
Vocabulary
superior memory retention → Synonyms: exceptional recall, advanced memory, outstanding remembrance | Antonyms: poor memory, forgetfulness, amnesia
mentally stimulating activities → Synonyms: brain-challenging tasks, intellectual exercises, thought-provoking activities | Antonyms: mindless actions, repetitive tasks, unchallenging work
sedentary lifestyle → Synonyms: inactive routine, desk-bound life, motionless living | Antonyms: active lifestyle, dynamic routine, energetic habits
Difficult Grammar
“Genetic makeup plays a significant part…” → Cấu trúc N + plays a part in… (đóng vai trò trong).
“Hence, both nature and nurture interact to shape memory ability.” → Mệnh đề song song với cặp từ “both…and”.
Question 7: What kinds of things do people prefer to remember nowadays?
Nowadays, people mostly cherish emotionally fulfilling experiences (trải nghiệm mang lại cảm xúc trọn vẹn – events that provide emotional satisfaction) such as weddings or family trips. These moments are often photographed and shared on social media, making them even more memorable. Moreover, professional achievements (thành tựu nghề nghiệp – successes in one’s career) like promotions or awards hold special significance. They not only symbolize personal growth but also validate one’s effort and dedication. In contrast, unpleasant or stressful events are often subconsciously suppressed. Modern technology, like digital albums, helps preserve joyful memories for years. Consequently, people tend to remember what aligns with happiness and pride.
Vocabulary
emotionally fulfilling experiences → Synonyms: meaningful moments, gratifying experiences, heartwarming events | Antonyms: unpleasant memories, distressing experiences, painful events
professional achievements → Synonyms: career success, occupational milestones, job accomplishments | Antonyms: failure, setback, underachievement
Difficult Grammar
“They not only symbolize personal growth but also validate one’s effort…” → Cấu trúc đảo “not only…but also” → Chúng không chỉ tượng trưng cho sự phát triển cá nhân mà còn khẳng định nỗ lực của mỗi người.
“Modern technology, like digital albums, helps preserve joyful memories…” → Mệnh đề chính có cụm danh từ đồng vị “like digital albums”.
Question 8: How do you think technology has affected our ability to remember things?
Technology has had a dual impact (tác động hai chiều – having both positive and negative effects) on human memory. On the positive side, tools like digital reminders and brain-training apps can enhance memory efficiency. For example, note-taking apps allow people to organize information systematically (sắp xếp thông tin một cách có hệ thống – to arrange data in an orderly way). However, excessive dependence on gadgets results in digital dependency (sự phụ thuộc kỹ thuật số – overreliance on technology for daily tasks). People increasingly rely on smartphones for even basic recall, which weakens their natural memory. Over time, this reliance might lead to mental laziness. Thus, technology should be used as an aid rather than a replacement for human cognition.
Vocabulary
dual impact → Synonyms: twofold effect, mixed influence, ambivalent outcome | Antonyms: single effect, one-sided impact, uniform result
organize information systematically → Synonyms: arrange data methodically, categorize knowledge logically, classify details efficiently | Antonyms: mess up data, scatter information, disorganize records
digital dependency → Synonyms: tech addiction, online reliance, screen dependence | Antonyms: digital independence, tech-free lifestyle, offline autonomy
Difficult Grammar
“On the positive side, tools like digital reminders…” → Mở đầu bằng cụm giới từ nhấn mạnh khía cạnh tích cực.
“Thus, technology should be used as an aid rather than a replacement…” → Cấu trúc so sánh “rather than” → Công nghệ nên được dùng như công cụ hỗ trợ chứ không thay thế hoàn toàn trí nhớ con người.
