IELTS TUTOR gợi ý bài tham khảo:
Today, I would like to tell you about my colleague, Anna, who is someone I admire for her fashion sense.
She works as a marketing executive in a well-known advertising agency.
When it comes to her style, Anna always wears chic and sophisticated attire (quần áo thanh lịch và tinh tế) like tailored blazers (áo khoác may đo) combined with sleek trousers or pencil skirts (quần tây hoặc váy bút chì ôm sát). She also pairs her outfits with vibrant accessories (phụ kiện sống động) such as statement necklaces and elegant scarves, which highlight her personal flair (phong cách cá nhân độc đáo).>> tham khảo CẦN VIẾT & THU ÂM BAO NHIÊU BÀI ĐỂ ĐẠT 8.0 SPEAKING & 7.0 WRITING?
The reason why Anna is so passionate about fashion is twofold. Firstly, she believes that dressing well allows her to express her individuality (thể hiện cá tính riêng). Rather than blindly following fashion trends, she chooses clothes that reflect her personality and make her feel confident. For example, she often opts for bold colors or unique patterns that set her apart from others. Secondly, in her highly competitive workplace, maintaining a polished and professional image (hình ảnh chuyên nghiệp chỉn chu) is crucial. Looking stylish helps her project confidence (tự tin thể hiện bản thân) and gain respect from clients and colleagues alike, which can boost her career prospects.
In summary, for Anna, fashion is not only a means of self-expression (thể hiện bản thân) but also an important tool for success in her professional life.

1. Where do Vietnamese people usually buy clothes?
Well, most Vietnamese people tend to buy clothes at local boutiques (cửa hàng nhỏ địa phương – small independent fashion shops) or in commercial centers (trung tâm thương mại – shopping malls filled with brand-name stores).
One reason is that these places offer a wide range of options (nhiều lựa chọn – a large variety), from traditional to modern styles, which meet the fashion preferences (sở thích thời trang – style tastes) of different generations.
Another contributing factor is that people value the in-store experience (trải nghiệm mua sắm trực tiếp – physical shopping experience), where they can touch, feel, and try on clothes before buying.
For instance, in cities like Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, many people shop at Vincom or AEON Malls, which house a mix of homegrown labels (thương hiệu nội địa – local clothing brands) and international fashion retailers (nhà bán lẻ thời trang quốc tế).
On the other hand, budget-conscious shoppers (người tiêu dùng tiết kiệm – people who care about saving money) might frequent street markets like Chợ Bến Thành to snag bargains (mua đồ giá hời – get clothes at cheap prices).
Such places allow people to practice their haggling skills (kỹ năng mặc cả – ability to negotiate prices), which is still a common practice in Vietnamese culture.
Overall, Vietnamese consumers are increasingly becoming fashion-savvy (am hiểu thời trang – knowledgeable about fashion) while remaining practical with their spending habits.
So, whether it’s trendy malls or traditional markets, there’s a shopping spot for everyone.
2. Do people prefer shopping online or offline in your country?
Recently, shopping habits (thói quen mua sắm – regular buying behaviors) in Vietnam have shifted significantly toward e-commerce platforms (nền tảng thương mại điện tử – online shopping websites/apps).
Many individuals, especially the younger generation, favor online retail (bán lẻ trực tuyến – internet-based shopping) due to its time-saving nature (tính tiết kiệm thời gian – ability to reduce shopping time) and doorstep delivery (giao hàng tận nơi – having goods sent to one’s home).
For example, websites like Shopee or Lazada have become household names (tên quen thuộc – very popular brands) thanks to frequent discounts and the user-friendly interface (giao diện dễ sử dụng – easy-to-navigate design).
However, a fair number of people still stick to brick-and-mortar stores (cửa hàng truyền thống – physical shops) because they prefer seeing the actual quality (chất lượng thực tế – real condition) of clothes before making a purchase.
This is especially true for formal wear like suits or dresses, where size accuracy (độ chính xác kích cỡ) and fabric feel are extremely important.
Moreover, impulse buying (mua sắm bốc đồng – unplanned purchases) tends to happen more in malls due to attractive visual merchandising (trưng bày hàng hóa hấp dẫn – engaging store layout and decorations).
In essence, while online shopping is rising rapidly, the offline experience still holds a firm place in Vietnamese consumer behavior.
So, both methods coexist, each catering to specific needs and shopping styles.
3. Do old people or young people care more about dressing well? Why?
In general, young people (người trẻ) are more image-conscious (chú trọng hình ảnh – very concerned about how they appear) and thus pay greater attention to dressing stylishly.
This is partly because social media plays a major role in their lives, creating pressure to look good and be on-trend with fashion-forward outfits (trang phục hợp mốt – trendy clothing styles).
For example, many Vietnamese teens follow local influencers on TikTok or Instagram to get daily outfit inspirations.
Additionally, young adults often express their individuality (cá tính – uniqueness) through clothing, using fashion as a way to make personal statements (thể hiện bản thân – show one’s character).
On the contrary, older people generally lean toward comfort-oriented clothing (trang phục thiên về sự thoải mái – clothes chosen for comfort) rather than what’s fashionable.
Many retirees, for instance, wear loose, breathable fabrics (vải thoáng khí – materials that allow air circulation) for practicality and ease.
That said, some seniors still dress up for special occasions like weddings or Lunar New Year to maintain a respectable appearance (diện mạo đứng đắn – dignified look).
In short, while both age groups have their own reasons for dressing well, young people are usually more invested in style-conscious decisions (quyết định thời trang – choices based on fashion).
4. Why do some people like to dress fashionably?
Some individuals enjoy fashionable clothing because it boosts their self-esteem (lòng tự trọng – confidence and pride in oneself) and makes them feel more attractive.
Wearing well-fitted garments (quần áo vừa vặn – clothes that fit perfectly) or keeping up with fashion trends can give people a sense of control and pride over their appearance.
For example, someone going for a job interview might dress in a tailored suit (bộ com-lê may đo – customized professional outfit) to project confidence and professionalism.
Moreover, fashion allows people to reflect their personality traits (đặc điểm tính cách – characteristics of a person) or even cultural values (giá trị văn hóa – beliefs of a society) through their wardrobe choices.
A person who wears bold colors and patterns may be seen as creative or extroverted, while someone who dresses modestly might value tradition.>> 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
Also, fashion is a form of non-verbal communication (giao tiếp phi ngôn ngữ – expressing through appearance), helping others form impressions even before a word is spoken.
In short, dressing fashionably serves both emotional (cảm xúc) and social purposes (mục đích xã hội – roles in society).
It’s not just about trends—it’s a reflection of identity and intention (bản sắc và mục tiêu – who they are and how they want to be seen).
