IELTS TUTOR gợi ý bài tham khảo:

Today, I would like to tell you about a water-based sport (môn thể thao dưới nước) that I watched recently and would love to try one day—swimming.

I first watched this sport during the SEA Games 22, which was broadcast live on television a few weeks ago. I happened to be flipping through channels when I stumbled upon the men’s 100-meter freestyle event, and I was instantly captivated (bị cuốn hút – engrossed, fascinated, enchanted) by the fast-paced (nhanh nhịp – high-speed, breakneck, rapid) action and the incredible strength and agility (sự nhanh nhẹn – nimbleness, dexterity, swiftness) of the swimmers. I watched it with my younger brother, who is a sports enthusiast, and we both cheered for our national team with great excitement.

One reason I was drawn to swimming is that, unlike other gear-intensive sports (môn thể thao cần nhiều thiết bị – equipment-heavy, tool-based, accessory-reliant) like windsurfing or scuba diving, swimming requires minimal equipment. All you need is a swim cap (mũ bơi), goggles (kính bơi), and a proper swimming costume (đồ bơi), mainly to protect your hair, skin, and eyes from the chemicals in the pool. This makes it a much more accessible and low-cost (dễ tiếp cận và ít tốn kém – affordable, budget-friendly, economical) option for beginners like me.

What makes me truly interested in trying this sport is its wide range of health benefits (lợi ích sức khỏe). Swimming is known to be a full-body workout (bài tập toàn thân) because it engages almost every muscle group. It also improves cardiovascular fitness (thể lực tim mạch), increases endurance, and builds muscle strength. For example, my sister used to struggle with weight gain, but ever since she committed to regular swimming, she has not only lost weight but also become much more energetic and emotionally balanced.

Another reason I’m so eager to give swimming a try is the climate where I live. Summers here are scorching (nóng như thiêu – boiling, blazing, sweltering), and I honestly can’t think of a better way to escape the oppressive heat (cái nóng oi bức) than diving into a cool, clear swimming pool. It would help me cool off (giải nhiệt), unwind, and leave all my stress behind. I imagine myself floating in the water, completely relaxed and at peace.

To be honest, although I’ve never swum before, this experience made me want to enroll in a beginner swimming class (lớp học bơi cho người mới bắt đầu) and take that first leap. I believe that once I overcome my initial fear of water, I’ll genuinely enjoy the sport.

2.1. Do you think sportsmen would use the sports gears promoted in the commercials?

I believe professional athletes (chuyên nghiệp – people who compete in sports for a living) often use the gear they promote, but not always. Firstly, their public image (hình ảnh công chúng – the way they are perceived by society) is tied closely to the brands they endorse, so using the products can reinforce brand loyalty (lòng trung thành thương hiệu – the tendency to stick with a particular brand). For example, tennis players like Roger Federer are often seen using gear from the companies they endorse. Secondly, high-performance gear (thiết bị hiệu suất cao – sports equipment designed for elite use) can genuinely support better results in training or competitions. However, it’s also true that sometimes they just use customized versions (phiên bản tùy chỉnh – specially made items) that are unavailable to the public. In such cases, what fans buy may differ from what athletes actually use. Still, for marketing purposes (mục đích tiếp thị – promoting goods or services), appearing to use the product is often enough. Overall, there’s a mix of practicality and promotional intent.

New Vocabulary:

• Professional athletes (EN: paid competitors in sports | VN: vận động viên chuyên nghiệp)
  Synonyms: elite players, sports professionals, competitors
  Antonyms: amateurs, non-athletes, spectators
  IELTS TUTOR xét ví dụ: I believe professional athletes often use the gear they promote.

• Public image (EN: how someone is viewed by the public | VN: hình ảnh công chúng)

• High-performance gear (EN: equipment made for best performance | VN: thiết bị thể thao hiệu suất cao)

Difficult Grammar:

• “In such cases, what fans buy may differ from what athletes actually use.”
  → Complex relative clause with embedded object – Trong những trường hợp như vậy, những gì người hâm mộ mua có thể khác với những gì vận động viên thực sự sử dụng.

2.2. Many advertisers like to use sports stars' endorsements. What do you think are the reasons?

One major reason is that sports celebrities (người nổi tiếng trong thể thao – famous athletes) often enjoy high levels of public trust (sự tin tưởng của công chúng – confidence the public has in someone). People tend to believe their recommendations because they associate athletes with discipline (kỷ luật – the quality of being strict with goals) and success. For instance, when a gold-medalist promotes an energy drink, consumers assume it must be effective. Secondly, sports stars have global recognition (sự công nhận toàn cầu – being famous around the world), which helps companies reach international markets. Their charismatic presence (sức hút quyến rũ – attractive and charming personality) also boosts attention and memorability. Moreover, using athletes can create an emotional connection, especially during major events like the Olympics. This marketing technique has proven to be influential and profitable (có ảnh hưởng và sinh lời – both persuasive and money-making).

New Vocabulary:

• Sports celebrities (EN: famous athletes | VN: người nổi tiếng thể thao)
  Synonyms: athletic stars, sports icons, champion figures
  Antonyms: unknown players, beginners, anonymous athletes
  IELTS TUTOR xét ví dụ: One major reason is that sports celebrities often enjoy high levels of public trust.

• Global recognition (EN: being known worldwide | VN: sự công nhận toàn cầu)

• Charismatic presence (EN: appealing and charming appearance | VN: sự hiện diện thu hút)

Difficult Grammar:

• “People tend to believe their recommendations because they associate athletes with discipline and success.”
  → Cause-effect sentence with embedded clause – Mọi người có xu hướng tin tưởng lời giới thiệu của họ vì họ liên tưởng vận động viên với kỷ luật và thành công.

2.3. Do you think that international sports games are for money?

To some extent, yes – many international sporting events (sự kiện thể thao quốc tế – games involving athletes from different countries) have become commercial enterprises (doanh nghiệp thương mại – profit-oriented activities). Organizers often earn from sponsorships, broadcasting rights, and merchandise sales. For example, the FIFA World Cup generates billions in revenue. However, these games also promote cultural exchange (trao đổi văn hóa – mutual sharing between nations) and national pride (niềm tự hào dân tộc – feelings of patriotic joy). Athletes usually compete for glory, not just for financial incentives (động cơ tài chính – motivation involving money). Nevertheless, it’s undeniable that corporate sponsorship (tài trợ doanh nghiệp – business-funded support) plays a huge role in modern sports. So while money is a factor, it’s not the only one driving these competitions.

New Vocabulary:

• International sporting events (EN: global sports competitions | VN: sự kiện thể thao quốc tế)
  Synonyms: world tournaments, global games, international matches
  Antonyms: local sports, amateur events, school competitions
  IELTS TUTOR xét ví dụ: Many international sporting events have become commercial enterprises.

• Commercial enterprises (EN: business activities | VN: doanh nghiệp thương mại)

• Financial incentives (EN: money-based motivation | VN: động cơ tài chính)

Difficult Grammar:

• “So while money is a factor, it’s not the only one driving these competitions.”
  → Concessive clause using “while” – Vì vậy, mặc dù tiền là một yếu tố, nhưng nó không phải là yếu tố duy nhất thúc đẩy các cuộc thi này.

2.4. Why do so many people like to watch sports games?

Firstly, sports offer a sense of shared excitement (sự phấn khích chung – collective emotional thrill), bringing fans together regardless of background. Watching sports becomes a social bonding experience (trải nghiệm gắn kết xã hội – activity that builds connection between people), especially when people support the same team. For instance, many Vietnamese gather in public spaces to cheer during national football matches. Secondly, sports provide a healthy escape from daily stress (lối thoát lành mạnh – a positive way to release tension). The fast-paced nature (tính chất nhanh – involving constant action) of games keeps audiences engaged. Furthermore, people admire the dedication and perseverance (sự cống hiến và kiên trì – strong commitment and determination) of athletes. It also gives viewers something to look forward to each week. So, sports are a source of both entertainment and emotional connection (giải trí và kết nối cảm xúc).

New Vocabulary:

• Shared excitement (EN: joy experienced by a group | VN: sự phấn khích chung)
  Synonyms: collective thrill, mutual enthusiasm, joint excitement
  Antonyms: personal boredom, solitary mood, individual dullness
  IELTS TUTOR xét ví dụ: Sports offer a sense of shared excitement, bringing fans together.

• Social bonding experience (EN: time spent strengthening relationships | VN: trải nghiệm gắn kết xã hội)

• Healthy escape from daily stress (EN: good way to avoid tension | VN: lối thoát lành mạnh khỏi căng thẳng)

Difficult Grammar:

• “Watching sports becomes a social bonding experience, especially when people support the same team.”
  → Complex sentence with dependent clause – Xem thể thao trở thành trải nghiệm gắn kết xã hội, đặc biệt khi mọi người ủng hộ cùng một đội.

2.5. What kinds of sports games do young and old people like to watch in your country?

In Vietnam, young audiences (khán giả trẻ – younger generation of viewers) usually prefer fast-paced sports (thể thao nhịp độ nhanh – games with constant movement) like football or badminton. These games are exciting and often feature national heroes, which increases interest. A good example is how Vietnamese youth support players like Quang Hải. Meanwhile, older generations (thế hệ lớn tuổi – elderly viewers) are more drawn to sports that are less intense, such as volleyball or chess competitions. These sports are easier to follow and do not require much physical strain. In general, sports preferences (sở thích thể thao – choice of games to watch) vary depending on the energy level (mức năng lượng – amount of enthusiasm and stamina) of each age group. Additionally, television schedules for each type of sport reflect this demographic difference. So, both young and old enjoy watching sports, just with different preferences.

New Vocabulary:

• Fast-paced sports (EN: sports with quick action | VN: thể thao nhịp độ nhanh)
  Synonyms: dynamic games, action-filled matches, rapid-play sports
  Antonyms: slow-paced sports, leisurely games, turn-based activities
  IELTS TUTOR xét ví dụ: Young audiences usually prefer fast-paced sports like football.

• Older generations (EN: elderly people | VN: thế hệ lớn tuổi)

• Sports preferences (EN: choice of sports | VN: sở thích thể thao)

Difficult Grammar:

• “In general, sports preferences vary depending on the energy level of each age group.”
  → Complex conditional sentence – Nói chung, sở thích thể thao thay đổi tùy theo mức năng lượng của mỗi nhóm tuổi.

2.6. Why do many people like to buy expensive sportswear for playing ball games?

Firstly, people believe that premium sportswear (đồ thể thao cao cấp – high-quality sports clothing) enhances their performance and comfort. Materials used in these clothes are often breathable and sweat-absorbent (thoáng khí và thấm mồ hôi – allow air circulation and soak up sweat), which supports longer play. For instance, brands like Nike or Adidas provide special fabric that keeps players cool. Secondly, wearing expensive gear is seen as a status symbol (biểu tượng địa vị – something that shows one’s social standing). It helps people feel more confident and stylish (tự tin và thời trang – good-looking and self-assured) during games. This is particularly true in urban areas (khu đô thị – city environments) where appearances often matter. Additionally, high-end sportswear is durable and can last longer than cheap alternatives. So, it’s both a practical and fashionable (thực tế và thời thượng – useful and trendy) choice.

New Vocabulary:

• Premium sportswear (EN: high-end athletic clothing | VN: đồ thể thao cao cấp)
  Synonyms: designer gear, branded apparel, high-grade outfits
  Antonyms: budget clothing, cheap gear, unbranded wear
  IELTS TUTOR xét ví dụ: People believe that premium sportswear enhances their performance.

• Status symbol (EN: item showing one’s position | VN: biểu tượng địa vị)

• Breathable and sweat-absorbent (EN: allows air & absorbs sweat | VN: thoáng khí và thấm mồ hôi)

Difficult Grammar:

• “Wearing expensive gear is seen as a status symbol.”
  → Passive voice – Việc mặc đồ đắt tiền được xem như một biểu tượng địa vị.
