During my primary school years, one activity that left a lasting impression on me was learning to play chess. It wasn't just a casual pastime; it became a captivating pursuit that I eagerly anticipated every Friday afternoon as part of the school's chess club.

I remember the excitement I felt as I joined a diverse group of students from different grades within the school to explore the intricate world of chess. Led by a skilled chess instructor, our sessions were not just about moving pieces on a board but delving into the strategic complexities of the game.>> IELTS TUTOR có hướng dẫn kĩ PHÂN TÍCH ĐỀ THI THẬT TASK 2 (dạng advantages & disadvantages) NGÀY 04/8/2020 IELTS WRITING GENERAL MÁY TÍNH (kèm bài được sửa hs đi thi)

What made learning chess so enjoyable was the mental challenge it presented. Each move required careful consideration, strategic planning, and anticipation of my opponent's next move. I recall a particularly intense match where my opponent crafted a complex series of moves, forcing me to think several steps ahead, analyze the board, and adapt my strategy accordingly. It was a thrilling exercise in critical thinking and foresight.

Moreover, the chess club served as more than just a training ground for mastering the game. It evolved into a social hub where I forged connections with classmates whom I might not have interacted with otherwise. The shared passion for chess fostered a sense of camaraderie among us, leading to the formation of new friendships and a vibrant community within the school.

IV. Part 3

I definitely think taking breaks during work or study is essential because it prevents mental exhaustion (kiệt sức tinh thần – extreme tiredness of the mind caused by overwork). Firstly, short pauses can help people regain their cognitive capacity (khả năng nhận thức – the ability of the brain to think, learn, and remember), allowing them to focus better when they return to their tasks. For instance, when I prepare for exams, a 10-minute walk outdoors can refresh my concentration and boost productivity. Secondly, breaks encourage holistic well-being (sức khỏe toàn diện – a state of complete physical, mental, and emotional health), since they give individuals the chance to stretch, hydrate, or simply relax. For example, many companies now provide designated rest areas (khu vực nghỉ riêng – special spaces set up for workers to relax) to ensure employees remain healthy and efficient. However, if people skip breaks, they might experience burnout and even health problems in the long run. Therefore, I strongly believe that breaks are not just luxuries but genuine necessities for a sustainable lifestyle.

New Vocabulary

  • mental exhaustion (kiệt sức tinh thần – extreme tiredness of the mind caused by overwork)

  • cognitive capacity (khả năng nhận thức – the ability of the brain to think, learn, and remember)

  • holistic well-being (sức khỏe toàn diện – a state of complete physical, mental, and emotional health)

  • designated rest areas (khu vực nghỉ riêng – special spaces set up for workers to relax)

    “Breaks are not just luxuries but genuine necessities for a sustainable lifestyle.”
    (Nghỉ giải lao không chỉ là sự xa xỉ mà còn là nhu cầu thiết yếu cho một lối sống bền vững.)

2.2. What sports do young people like to do now?

I think young people today are drawn to both mainstream sports (thể thao phổ biến – widely played sports like football or basketball) and more adventurous ones. Firstly, traditional team sports such as football and basketball are still extremely popular because they foster camaraderie (tình bạn thân thiết – a sense of trust and friendship among people). For example, football matches in schools not only improve fitness but also strengthen social bonds. Secondly, a growing number of young people are turning to adrenaline-fueled activities (hoạt động kích thích adrenaline – exciting sports that make the heart race) like skateboarding, parkour, and extreme biking. These activities reflect their desire for individuality and thrill. For instance, skate parks in many cities are now crowded with teenagers practicing daring tricks. Overall, their preferences illustrate the balance between tradition and innovation in modern youth culture.

New Vocabulary

  • mainstream sports (thể thao phổ biến – widely played sports like football or basketball)

  • camaraderie (tình bạn thân thiết – a sense of trust and friendship among people)

  • adrenaline-fueled activities (hoạt động kích thích adrenaline – exciting sports that make the heart race)

Synonyms (camaraderie): friendship, companionship, fellowship
Antonyms: hostility, rivalry, animosity

Grammar structures:

  • Such as (giving examples): “Traditional team sports such as football and basketball…” (Ví dụ như bóng đá và bóng rổ)

  • Not only … but also: “…not only improve fitness but also strengthen social bonds.” (Không chỉ cải thiện sức khỏe mà còn tăng cường mối quan hệ xã hội)

2.3. Are there more activities for young people now than 20 years ago?

Yes, there are definitely more activities now because of technological advancements (tiến bộ công nghệ – improvements in modern technology). Firstly, digital platforms have created countless virtual opportunities (cơ hội ảo – chances that exist online, not physically) for young people to learn, play, and connect. For example, e-sports competitions allow thousands of players to interact in real time, something unimaginable two decades ago. Secondly, modern society also places emphasis on diverse recreational outlets (các hình thức giải trí đa dạng – many different ways for people to relax and enjoy themselves), from fitness clubs to creative workshops. This variety caters to different personalities and talents. For instance, many community centers now offer dance, art, or coding classes for young learners. Clearly, young people today enjoy a much broader spectrum of activities than previous generations.>> tham khảo CẦN VIẾT & THU ÂM BAO NHIÊU BÀI ĐỂ ĐẠT 8.0 SPEAKING & 7.0 WRITING?

2.4. Can most people balance work and life in Vietnam?

Balancing work and life is still a daunting challenge (thử thách khó khăn – something very difficult) for many Vietnamese people. Firstly, the culture of long working hours (giờ làm việc kéo dài – extended daily shifts at work) means employees often sacrifice personal time for career advancement. For example, office workers in Hanoi sometimes leave work at 9 pm, leaving little time for family. Secondly, urban congestion (tình trạng tắc nghẽn đô thị – overcrowded traffic in big cities) and long commutes add extra stress, making leisure almost impossible. For instance, spending two hours in traffic every day drains energy that could otherwise be used for hobbies or exercise. That said, awareness of mental health is slowly improving, and some companies are adopting flexible policies. Still, achieving a healthy work-life balance remains an aspiration rather than a reality for most.>> 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

2.5. What activities do children and adults do nowadays?

Nowadays, children and adults engage in contrasting pursuits (những hoạt động đối lập – very different types of activities). Firstly, children are more inclined toward screen-based entertainment (giải trí dựa trên màn hình – activities involving devices like phones or tablets), including gaming and online learning. For example, many kids spend hours playing interactive games with friends worldwide. Secondly, adults often gravitate to health-oriented activities (hoạt động chú trọng sức khỏe – actions focused on improving fitness and well-being) like gym workouts, yoga, or jogging. This helps them cope with workplace stress and maintain vitality. For instance, in big cities, early mornings are full of adults running in parks before heading to work. Clearly, although both groups enjoy leisure, their preferences reflect different priorities shaped by age.

New Vocabulary

  • contrasting pursuits (những hoạt động đối lập – very different types of activities)

  • screen-based entertainment (giải trí dựa trên màn hình – activities involving devices like phones or tablets)

  • health-oriented activities (hoạt động chú trọng sức khỏe – actions focused on improving fitness and well-being)

Synonyms (pursuits): activities, interests, pastimes
Antonyms: idleness, inactivity, passivity

Grammar structures:

  • Although clause: “Although both groups enjoy leisure, their preferences reflect different priorities.” (Mặc dù cả hai nhóm đều thích giải trí, nhưng sở thích của họ phản ánh những ưu tiên khác nhau)

  • Present simple for fact: “Children are more inclined toward screen-based entertainment.” (Trẻ em thiên về giải trí dựa trên màn hình)

2.6. Do adults and children have enough time for leisure activities nowadays?

Honestly, both adults and children often face time constraints (hạn chế về thời gian – not having enough time) that limit their leisure. Firstly, adults struggle with demanding workloads (khối lượng công việc đòi hỏi cao – very heavy job responsibilities), which consume most of their day. For example, many office workers work overtime just to meet deadlines. Secondly, children deal with academic overload (quá tải học tập – too much schoolwork) and extracurricular commitments, leaving little space for relaxation. For instance, students in Vietnam often attend both school and private classes, returning home exhausted. As a result, leisure is frequently sacrificed in favor of work or study. This reality shows how modern society undervalues free time despite its proven benefits.

New Vocabulary

  • time constraints (hạn chế về thời gian – not having enough time)

  • demanding workloads (khối lượng công việc đòi hỏi cao – very heavy job responsibilities)

  • academic overload (quá tải học tập – too much schoolwork)

Synonyms (constraints): restrictions, limitations, barriers
Antonyms: freedom, flexibility, liberty

Grammar structures:

  • Cause and effect: “As a result, leisure is frequently sacrificed in favor of work or study.” (Do đó, thời gian giải trí thường bị hy sinh để ưu tiên công việc hoặc học tập)

  • Despite + noun: “…despite its proven benefits.” (Mặc dù có những lợi ích đã được chứng minh)
