Question 1: Do you often visit your relatives?
Yes, I try to visit my relatives quite frequently (adv: often or regularly – thường xuyên) because maintaining family bonds is essential. It’s a way to show filial affection (n: the love and respect children owe their parents – lòng hiếu thảo) and keep our connection alive. For instance, I usually drop by my aunt’s house once a month to have dinner and catch up on family news.

Question 2: What do you do when you visit them?
When I visit my relatives, we usually have a heartwarming (adj: emotionally comforting – ấm lòng) meal together and talk about our lives. We also sometimes go out for a walk to reminisce (v: to remember and talk about past experiences – hồi tưởng) about childhood memories. For example, my cousins and I love flipping through old photo albums and laughing about how we looked years ago.>> 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

Question 3: When did you last visit relatives? What did you do?
The last time I visited my relatives was during the Lunar New Year when we had a big family reunion. We cooked traditional dishes and played board games (n: tabletop games like chess or monopoly – trò chơi trên bàn), which helped strengthen our bond. It was a wonderful opportunity to catch up (phrasal verb: to talk with someone you haven’t seen for a while – hàn huyên) and make new memories together.

Question 4: Do you prefer visiting your relatives, or your friends?
I’d say I prefer visiting my relatives because spending time with them gives me a strong sense of belonging (n: the feeling of being accepted and comfortable – cảm giác thuộc về). While meeting friends is fun, family gatherings feel more meaningful and rejuvenating (adj: making you feel fresh and energetic again – làm hồi sinh năng lượng). For example, chatting with my grandparents always fills me with wisdom and peace.

Question 5: Do you take anything when you visit your relatives?
Yes, I usually bring small tokens (n: gifts given to show appreciation – món quà nhỏ) like fruit baskets or homemade desserts. It’s a cultural way to show gratitude (n: the feeling of being thankful – lòng biết ơn) and respect when visiting elders. For instance, last week I took some mangoes from my garden to my uncle’s house, and he really appreciated the gesture.

Question 6: Is it important to visit family members?
Absolutely, visiting relatives is vital because it helps nurture (v: to care for and encourage growth or development – nuôi dưỡng) emotional closeness and mutual understanding. In this fast-paced world, such visits remind us of our roots and keep family ties intact (adj: undamaged, complete – nguyên vẹn). For example, even though I’m busy with university work, I make time for family visits every holiday.
