IELTS TUTOR gợi ý bài tham khảo:

Today, I would like to tell you about a brand-new (mới tinh – completely new) bookstore that has just opened in my neighborhood, and it has quickly become one of my go-to places whenever I need study materials. It’s called the IELTS TUTOR Bookstore, a well-curated (được tuyển chọn kỹ lưỡng – carefully selected and organized) shop specializing in books, practice tests, and academic resources for English learners, especially those preparing for the IELTS exam.

I first heard about this store through word-of-mouth (truyền miệng – information passed from one person to another), when a friend who had recently taken the test told me that it had an impressively diverse (đa dạng ấn tượng – having a very wide range) collection of learning resources. As someone who is gearing up for my IELTS exam, I visited the shop the week it opened, and since then, I’ve been going there almost every week to pick up grammar guides, vocabulary workbooks, and full-length practice test collections.>> 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

What makes this store particularly memorable for me is its knowledge-rich (giàu kiến thức – full of expertise and information) staff. They are always eager to offer practical advice, whether I need help choosing between textbooks or locating materials for a specific skill. I remember one time when I couldn’t find a particular listening practice book. I asked one staff member, and she instantly recognized the title, explained that it had just sold out, and offered to pre-order (đặt trước – order something in advance) it for me so I could collect it a few days later. Her professionalism and customer-centered (lấy khách hàng làm trung tâm – prioritizing customer needs) attitude really impressed me.

Another reason why I love this bookstore is its wide-ranging (rộng rãi, nhiều loại – covering many different types) selection of products. Apart from IELTS materials, they also sell grammar reference books, flashcards, and listening practice bundles, which is perfect for someone who wants to polish multiple language skills at the same time. Just last week, I needed a new vocabulary book to reinforce my word bank, and I was pleasantly surprised by the extensive lineup (danh sách phong phú – a large variety) of options available.

All in all, this newly opened bookstore has become a meaningful part of my study routine because it offers expert guidance, high-quality resources, and a welcoming environment for learners like me.

IV. Part 3

QUESTION 1: What types of shops would you recommend a visitor to your country should go to? (Why?)

ANSWER (8 sentences — 2 main ideas):

My first recommendation is that tourists should explore traditional craft villages, because these places offer a genuine cultural experience that cannot be found in modern shopping centers. This is mainly due to the fact that many local artisans create handcrafted masterpieces such as lacquerware and silk products, which showcase our long-standing heritage. For example, when visitors go to Hoi An’s craft market, they often buy bespoke souvenirs like lanterns that feel far more meaningful than mass-produced goods. Another type of shop I highly recommend is the bustling street-food stalls, as they allow tourists to taste local dishes in a truly immersive way. These stalls give travelers access to authentic delicacies that represent the everyday lifestyle of Vietnamese people. For instance, a foreign visitor eating “bánh mì” from a small cart often says it feels like tasting the soul of the city. Ultimately, these types of shops enable visitors to understand not just the products, but the cultural identity of Vietnam.

This is especially true for my hectic schedule, where visiting physical stores becomes almost impossible. For instance, I often order household essentials through e-commerce apps and receive them within hours. Another reason is that online shopping offers a wealth of options that traditional shops simply cannot match.

Overall, online shopping fits perfectly with my fast-paced lifestyle.

QUESTION 3: What do you think are the advantages of buying things on the internet?

ANSWER (8 sentences):

One major advantage of buying online is the unrestricted accessibility it offers, allowing people to shop anytime without physical limitations. This means individuals with tight schedules or mobility issues can still purchase what they need with ease. For example, my aunt, who has difficulty walking, relies heavily on online groceries. Another significant benefit is the presence of competitive pricing, which helps shoppers save money. This happens because online retailers often offer flash sales and digital vouchers that brick-and-mortar shops rarely provide. For instance, I once bought a high-quality blender at half the in-store price during an online promotion. These advantages make online shopping incredibly appealing for modern consumers.

QUESTION 4: In your country, how has shopping changed in the past few decades?

ANSWER (8 sentences):

Shopping in my country has undergone a dramatic transformation, mainly because of rapid technological advancements. In the past, people relied heavily on traditional markets, but now online platforms dominate consumer habits. For example, instead of going to a wet market, many families order fresh food through delivery apps. Another noticeable shift is the rise of large-scale retail chains, which have replaced countless small family-run shops. This change has introduced standardized products and professional customer service across the country. For instance, supermarkets now offer loyalty programs that local stores never had. Overall, these developments reflect the modernization of Vietnamese shopping culture.
