IELTS Speaking Questions, Model Answers & Vocabulary

Part 3Topic 9 - Shopping & MoneyEasy-Intermediate

Why do children lose their things?

Tại sao trẻ em hay làm mất đồ?

[POINT]Point

Children often lose things because their organisational skills are still developing.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

A short attention span and excitement can make them forget where they put school supplies, toys or clothes.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A child may leave a water bottle in class because they rush outside when the lesson ends.

[EXTEND]Extend

Routine building and small responsibilities can gradually improve this, so losing belongings usually becomes less frequent as children become more organised.

Part 3Topic 9 - Shopping & MoneyEasy-Intermediate

Why do adults lose their private things more than other things?

Tại sao người lớn lại hay làm mất đồ cá nhân hơn những đồ vật khác?

[POINT]Point

Adults often lose personal belongings because those are the items they carry and handle most frequently.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Phones, wallets, keys and cards move between bags, pockets and different locations throughout the day.

[EXAMPLE]Example

One attention lapse while paying, travelling or changing clothes can leave a portable item behind.

[EXTEND]Extend

Larger household objects are rarely lost because they stay in fixed places, so frequent handling creates most of the risk.

Part 3Topic 10 - Travel & TransportEasy-Intermediate

How interested are young people in your country in learning to drive?

Giới trẻ ở nước bạn quan tâm đến việc học lái xe đến mức nào?

[POINT]Point

Many young people are interested in learning to drive because it gives them independence and wider travel options.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

They may take up driving when work, university or family responsibilities make public transport inconvenient.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A young adult may want to get behind the wheel to commute or travel outside the city more easily.

[EXTEND]Extend

Interest can be lower where licence costs are high or public transport is excellent, so demand depends strongly on local transport conditions.

Part 3Topic 10 - Travel & TransportEasy-Intermediate

What are the differences between driving in the countryside and driving in the city?

Lái xe ở vùng nông thôn và lái xe trong thành phố có những điểm khác biệt nào?

[POINT]Point

Driving in the city is usually more demanding than driving in the countryside.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Cities have higher traffic density, more pedestrian activity, traffic lights and frequent lane changes, while rural roads are often quieter but may have poorer road conditions.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Urban drivers need constant attention at junctions, whereas countryside drivers may face narrow roads or limited lighting.

[EXTEND]Extend

Each environment has different risks, so good drivers need to adjust speed and attention to local conditions.

Part 3Topic 10 - Travel & TransportEasy-Intermediate

Do you consider most drivers where you live to be good drivers?

Bạn có cho rằng hầu hết các tài xế ở nơi bạn sống đều là những người lái xe giỏi không?

[POINT]Point

I think many drivers where I live are competent, but driving quality varies a lot.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Good defensive driving requires road awareness, respect for traffic rules and keeping a safe distance.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Some drivers are careful at busy junctions, while others change lanes suddenly or use phones.

[EXTEND]Extend

Overall standards could improve through stricter enforcement and better training, because technical driving skill alone does not guarantee safe behaviour.
