Trong bộ đề IELTS SPEAKING PART 1 trong tháng 9-12/2023 hiện tại đang thi TOPIC: MAPS. Các bạn học các cụm từ vựng hay và tham khảo bài mẫu để chuẩn bị cho chủ đề này nhé.
1. Do you ever use a map?
Yeah I do. I mean, I often use a GPS when I’m driving somewhere that I’m not familiar with, and I find it super helpful, because I don’t have a very good sense of direction.
- have a very good sense of direction: có cảm nhận tốt về phương hướng
2. When do you use a map?
I guess the time when I often use a map is when I’m on holiday somewhere, because I find it helps give me a better understanding of the place, and also saves me from becoming disoriented.
- become disoriented = get lost: không biết đang ở đâu và nên đi đâu
3. Who taught you to use a map?
I don’t actually think anyone taught me how to use a map, you know, I kind of just figured it out for myself. And I’ve never really had a problem understanding them because they tend to be pretty self-explanatory.
- figure sth out (phrasal verb) (B2): hiểu được hoặc giải quyết được thứ gì
- self-explanatory (adj): dễ hiểu và không cần thêm bất kỳ giải thích nào cả
4. Do you prefer to use electronic maps or those made of paper?
I’d say I generally prefer using electronic ones, because they basically have more functions. For example, if you’re not sure how to get somewhere, electronic maps will be able to actually highlight the best route to take, but they also give you detailed timings for each part of the journey, which is something that paper maps can’t really do.
- highlight sth (v): nhấn mạnh thứ gì quan trọng
5. Have you ever asked others for directions?
Yeah, sure I have, and I think it’s fair to say most people have at some stage or other. You know, asking others for directions can save a lot of time wandering around getting hopelessly lost, and I’ve always found people to be very helpful whenever I’ve asked them how to get somewhere.
- at some stage = at some time
- wander around: đi lang thang loanh quanh
