Đề bài: Describe a leisure activity you do with your family
Bài mẫu band 6.0 | Bài mẫu band 7.0 |
One leisure activity I used to do with my family is going camping once a month.
We always went to the national park near our house. We brought food, drinks, a blanket and a tent, which we needed to make our camp night more convenient. My mom would make sandwiches, and my dad would prepare some snacks. My siblings and I used to play games like frisbee and soccer together. Mom and dad always brought some binoculars to go bird watching while we played. At night, we would have dinner by the lake in the park and then put up the tent to rest. I think our camping trips were a great way to relax and enjoy nature. I enjoyed them because they bring my family closer together. They were a break from our busy lives. Everyone is happy and relaxed. Unfortunately, I’m in another city to go to college now, so we can’t do it anymore. |
Oh, I have lots of wonderful memories of going camping with my family throughout my childhood. We used to go camping every weekend. This tradition of ours was set in stone, until I had to move away for college.
We always went to the national park near our house, which was a perfect spot for our adventures. We brought food, drinks, a blanket, and a tent to make our camping nights more comfortable. My mom would prepare sandwiches, and my dad would pack some snacks. Regarding our activities, my siblings and I loved playing soccer and frisbee there, and my parents would bring binoculars for bird watching while we played. When the sun would go down, we would enjoy dinner by the lake in the park. As we ate, we would engage in deep conversations, sharing stories and experiences we had that week. I believe our camping trips were a fantastic way to unwind and immerse ourselves in nature, because they took the burden off our shoulders for a while. Camping also brought us closer together and helped us strengthen our bonds. It’s a shame that I’m in another city for college, the tradition is now broken. Nonetheless, I always look forward to the times when we can reunite and perhaps go camping again. |

Đề bài: Describe a hobby you would like to take up in the future:
Bài mẫu band 6.0 | Bài mẫu band 7.0 |
A hobby I would like to take up in the future is pottery making. Actually, I’ve tried it before and the craftsmanship really made me curious.
To start this hobby, I have to attend a pottery class, as well as buying a pottery wheel and some clay. I also have to learn various techniques and styles quite diligently. I think I will learn how to be both creative and mindful when practising making pottery. That is because it allows me to both create something real and focus better. Moreover, I will be able to make personalized and useful gifts for my friends and family. Overall, I think this new hobby will be valuable and beneficial for me in various aspects. |
The first thing I thought of upon hearing your question was pottery making. To be honest, it’s not brand new to me because I’ve tried. But the thing that piqued my interest was the fine craftsmanship that the artisans had.
To get started, I would need to enroll in a pottery class and purchase some basic equipment like a pottery wheel and clay. Moreover, I would need to learn various techniques and styles, which would require quite a lot of dedication and practice. As for what I will gain from this hobby, I believe it offers a unique blend of creativity and mindfulness. Not only does it allow me to create something tangible, but also it helps in reducing stress and improving focus. It would also give me skills to make personalized and functional gifts for my loved ones, which would be very fulfilling. In essence, I think pottery making would be a rewarding and enriching hobby that would bring a lot of joy and satisfaction into my life. |
Những câu hỏi hóc búa hơn ở part 3 có thể được xử lý như thế nào? TCE đã có giải pháp band 7+ mà bạn có thể tham khảo dưới đây:
The way I see it, when people with special mental conditions like ADHD turn a fun activity into a habit, they can significantly improve their abilities to focus and regulate their thoughts. This not only helps improve their condition by fostering a sense of control, but also helps unlock their potential. For instance, activities like painting or playing a musical instrument require concentration and can even get the player a prize or a career.
I absolutely think technology has made quite a lot of changes to hobbies we have. In the past, prior to the advent of smartphones and wifi, people used to dig outdoor activities, such as playing sports. We also attended book clubs or card games to relax and socialize. Today, however, many of us heavily rely on tech devices for both communication and entertainment. We socialize through texts and social media, and choose Tiktok over a sports game with friends.
In this day and age, where many people are too consumed by their jobs, having a regular hobby would immensely help to alleviate work-related pressure. For example, activities like gardening, painting or doing yoga can provide a therapeutic escape. What’s more, setting time aside to pursue a hobby may help workaholics realize the significance of maintaining a healthy personal life, thereby promoting a better work-life balance.
I most certainly do. I believe it will greatly benefit both the employers and the employees if the latter have more time to relax and take up hobbies. For employees, pursuing hobbies can help them relieve stress and foster better mental health, which are crucial in maintaining a healthy mind for work. Moreover, a mentally well worker can better contribute to the business, which, in turn, profits the business owner.
While people from other cultures may also participate in parades, I firmly believe taking to the streets and forming a grand parade on Independence day or during any national celebration is uniquely Vietnamese. For example, during our Independence Day on September 2nd, you can see people of all ages flooding the streets, waving flags, and wearing traditional costumes. This stems from our pride as Vietnamese citizens, as well as our honor and commemoration of our ancestors. Parading on special days is our way to display and heighten our solidarity as Vietnamese descendants.
