IELTS TUTOR lưu ý bám sát vào các câu hỏi cue card của IELTS TUTOR để bố cục bài nói nhé:

Today, I would like to tell you about a memorable get-together (buổi tụ họp đáng nhớ – an occasion that stays vividly in your mind) that I enjoyed with my cousin’s family when she returned home from Belgium.

The dinner was thoughtfully organised (được sắp xếp chu đáo – carefully planned with attention to detail) by my aunt, who wanted to welcome my cousin back after several years abroad. We had the meal at a cosy Thai restaurant (nhà hàng Thái ấm cúng – a small, comfortable, and inviting place) in the city centre, which was well-known for its authentic flavours (hương vị chuẩn bản địa – tastes that are true to the original cuisine) and family-friendly atmosphere (không khí thân thiện với gia đình – a relaxed environment suitable for all ages).

During the meal, our conversation flowed naturally. We talked about my cousin’s life overseas, cultural differences between Europe and Vietnam, and how living abroad had broadened her horizons. The discussion was light-hearted yet meaningful (nhẹ nhàng nhưng sâu sắc – relaxed but full of substance), which made everyone feel emotionally connected. At times, we even shared a few inside jokes (chuyện đùa nội bộ – jokes only understood by a close group) that instantly broke the ice.>> 🔥 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

As for the food, it was absolutely mouth-watering (ngon khó cưỡng – extremely delicious). We ordered classic Thai dishes like tom yum soup, green curry, and stir-fried noodles, all of which were richly seasoned (đậm đà gia vị – strongly flavoured with spices). To wash everything down, we had Thai iced tea and fresh coconut juice, which were incredibly refreshing (giải khát – making you feel cool and relaxed).

The main reason we had this dinner was to celebrate my cousin’s homecoming. Since she rarely visits Vietnam, this meal was a perfect chance to strengthen family bonds (gắn kết tình cảm gia đình – make family relationships closer) and create lasting memories. All in all, it wasn’t just a dinner; it was a heart-warming reunion (cuộc hội ngộ ấm áp – an emotionally comforting gathering) that I truly cherish.

2.1. Is it common for students to dine with each other on school days in your country?

(Bạn có thường thấy học sinh ăn cùng nhau vào các ngày học ở nước bạn không?)

Yes, it is extremely common, mainly because eating together has become part of students’ daily routine (thói quen hằng ngày – an activity done regularly / hoạt động diễn ra thường xuyên).
Many students gather in the canteen or nearby food stalls, which naturally creates a peer-bonding environment (môi trường gắn kết bạn bè – a setting that strengthens friendships).
This shared mealtime allows them to exchange ideas, relax, and momentarily escape academic pressure.
For example, students often discuss homework or upcoming exams while grabbing a quick lunch together.

Another reason is that communal meals help develop social cohesion (sự gắn kết xã hội – the strength of relationships within a group) at a young age.
When students dine together, they learn how to communicate, compromise, and respect different opinions.
This habit also builds long-term friendships that may extend beyond school life.
Therefore, dining together is not merely about food but about nurturing social skills.

Từ vựng mới (New vocabulary):

• daily routine: thói quen hằng ngày

• peer-bonding environment: môi trường gắn kết bạn bè

• social cohesion: sự gắn kết xã hội

Synonyms & Antonyms (from essay):

• daily routine → habit, pattern, ritual | disruption, irregularity, chaos

• social cohesion → unity, solidarity, harmony | division, alienation, fragmentation

2.2. Do people prefer to eat out at restaurants or eat at home during the Spring Festival?

(Mọi người thích ăn ở nhà hay ăn ngoài nhà hàng trong dịp Tết?)

Most people still prefer eating at home because traditional meals represent cultural continuity (sự tiếp nối văn hoá – the preservation of traditions over time).
Home-cooked dishes allow families to maintain customs passed down through generations.
For instance, preparing traditional food together often becomes a meaningful family ritual.
This practice strengthens emotional ties among relatives.>> 🔥 IELTS TUTOR gợi ý tham khảo CẦN VIẾT & THU ÂM BAO NHIÊU BÀI ĐỂ ĐẠT 8.0 SPEAKING & 7.0 WRITING?   

However, younger generations increasingly choose to dine out due to time-saving convenience (sự tiện lợi tiết kiệm thời gian – reducing effort and preparation).
Restaurants remove the burden of cooking and cleaning during an already busy holiday.
Eating out also offers a festive atmosphere without physical exhaustion.
As a result, preferences vary depending on age and lifestyle.

Từ vựng mới:

• cultural continuity: sự tiếp nối văn hoá

• time-saving convenience: sự tiện lợi tiết kiệm thời gian

2.3. What food do you eat on special occasions, like the Spring Festival or the Mid-Autumn Festival?

(Bạn thường ăn món gì trong những dịp đặc biệt?)

On special occasions, families usually prepare dishes with strong symbolic significance (ý nghĩa biểu tượng – representing deeper cultural values).
During the Spring Festival, traditional foods reflect wishes for luck and prosperity.
These dishes are often prepared using time-honoured recipes.
For example, sticky rice cakes symbolise unity and completeness.

Meanwhile, the Mid-Autumn Festival focuses more on sentimental value (giá trị cảm xúc – emotional importance) rather than variety.
Mooncakes are shared as a symbol of family reunion.
Eating these foods often triggers childhood memories.
Therefore, special-occasion food nourishes both the body and emotions.

Từ vựng mới:

• symbolic significance: ý nghĩa biểu tượng

• sentimental value: giá trị cảm xúc

2.4. Why do people like to have meals together during important festivals?

(Tại sao mọi người thích ăn cùng nhau trong các lễ hội quan trọng?)

People enjoy eating together because shared meals create a collective identity (bản sắc tập thể – a shared sense of belonging).
Festive meals allow family members to reconnect after long periods apart.
This interaction strengthens emotional bonds.
For instance, conversations during meals often revive shared memories.

Additionally, communal dining helps preserve cultural heritage (di sản văn hoá – traditions passed through generations).
Recipes and customs are transmitted naturally during family gatherings.
This practice ensures traditions remain alive.
Thus, festival meals are about connection rather than consumption.

Từ vựng mới:

• collective identity: bản sắc tập thể

• cultural heritage: di sản văn hoá

2.5. Is it a hassle to prepare a meal at home?

(Việc nấu ăn tại nhà có phiền phức không?)

Yes, it can be a hassle due to the multi-step preparation process (quy trình chuẩn bị nhiều bước – involving several stages).
Planning menus, shopping, and cooking require considerable time and energy.
This can be physically exhausting.
For example, festival cooking may take an entire day.

However, many people still value home cooking because of its emotional payoff (lợi ích cảm xúc – emotional rewards gained).
Preparing meals shows care and responsibility.
It also strengthens family bonds.
Therefore, the effort is often seen as worthwhile.

Từ vựng mới:

• multi-step preparation process

• emotional payoff

2.6. Why is it important to share food with others during a celebration?

(Vì sao việc chia sẻ đồ ăn lại quan trọng?)

Sharing food symbolises mutual respect (sự tôn trọng lẫn nhau – consideration between people).
It makes participants feel included and valued.
This gesture reduces social distance.
For example, guests feel welcomed when food is offered generously.

Moreover, food sharing enhances emotional reciprocity (sự đáp lại cảm xúc – mutual emotional exchange).
People associate shared meals with trust.
These moments often become lasting memories.
Thus, food strengthens human connections.

Từ vựng mới:

• mutual respect

• emotional reciprocity

2.7. Do you like to cook at home?

(Bạn có thích nấu ăn ở nhà không?)

Yes, I enjoy cooking because it provides creative autonomy (quyền tự do sáng tạo – freedom to make personal choices).
I can adjust flavours according to my preference.
This gives me a sense of control.
For instance, I often experiment with spices.

Cooking also functions as a stress-relief activity (hoạt động giảm căng thẳng – something that helps relaxation).
The process helps me unwind mentally.
It encourages mindfulness.
Therefore, cooking is both practical and therapeutic.

Từ vựng mới:

• creative autonomy

• stress-relief activity

2.8. Do people prefer to eat out or eat at home on special occasions?

(Vào dịp đặc biệt, mọi người thích ăn ở nhà hay ăn ngoài?)

Many people prefer eating out because restaurants offer occasion-specific experiences (trải nghiệm dành riêng cho dịp đặc biệt).
They provide professional service and diverse menus.
This enhances the celebratory mood.
For example, birthdays feel more special in restaurants.

However, others value home meals for their emotional intimacy (sự thân mật cảm xúc).
Eating at home feels personal and warm.
It allows deeper interaction.
Thus, preferences depend on emotional priorities.

Từ vựng mới:

• occasion-specific experiences

• emotional intimacy

2.9. What food do you eat on special occasions?

(Bạn thường ăn món gì vào những dịp đặc biệt?)

My family prepares traditional dishes that represent culinary heritage (di sản ẩm thực).
These foods reflect cultural identity.
They are usually homemade.
For instance, sticky rice and spring rolls appear frequently.

Such dishes evoke nostalgic attachment (sự gắn bó hoài niệm).
They remind us of earlier family gatherings.
This creates emotional comfort.
Therefore, food becomes a vessel for memories.

Từ vựng mới:

• culinary heritage

• nostalgic attachment
