CÁCH HỌC EBOOK TỔNG HỢP BÀI MẪU IELTS SPEAKING PART 3 SIMON
Với mỗi câu hỏi trong Part 3 chúng ta hãy cố gắng tìm cách kéo dài câu trả lời. Trong ebook này Huyền tổng hợp
lại những tips mà thầy Simon hướng dẫn kéo dài câu trả lời.
Khi mình phân tích các câu trả lời mẫu mình sẽ phân tích chi tiết cách thầy triển khai ý tưởng. Ví dụ với câu này:
(Answer) I think managers need to train their employees to deliver great customer service. (Explain) There are
lots of things that staff members can do, such as ensuring that customers are greeted in the right way, their
problems are handled quickly, and they are asked for feedback. (Example) For example, the staff in my favourite
cafe greet customers as soon as they come through the door, and they always check that we are happy before we leave.
Mình thấy thầy triển khai ý tưởng theo kiểu: Trả lời trực tiếp.
Sau đó giải thích chi tiết câu trả lời.
Sau đó nêu ra một ví dụ để thể hiện chi tiết ý chính. Còn đối với câu này:
(direct answer) Yes, I do think the seasons still affect how we behave. (explain how) We still wear different
clothes depending on the weather, and clothes shops change what they sell according to the season. We also
adapt our habits and daily routines according to the time of year. (example) For example, people in my country
like to eat outside in their gardens in the summer, but we can't do that during the other seasons. (opposite) On
the other hand, I don't think we notice the change in seasons when it comes to food; the big supermarkets
import food from around the world, so most people don't buy seasonal fruit and vegetables any more.
thì thầy triển khai câu trả lời như sau: Trả lời trực tiếp.
Giải thích chi tiết câu trả lời.
Nêu ra một ví dụ để thể hiện chi tiết ý chính.
Nêu ra một ý trái ngược với ý vừa được đề cập.
Sau đó mình hãy ghi chú lại các ý tưởng và từ vựng mà mình thấy hữu ích và tìm cách xây dựng câu trả lời của
riêng mình dựa trên các ý tưởng và từ vựng đó. IELTS Nguyễn Huyền 1 093 663 5052 ielts-nguyenhuyen.com tuvan@ieltsnguyenhuyen.com CÁCH GHI CHÚ VÀ HỆ THỐNG KIẾN THỨC
