SCIENCE
Science là một topic xuất hiện rất nhiều xuyên suốt trong bài thi IELTS Speaking. Sau đây là một vài mẫu câu hỏi và câu trả lời mà TAK12 đã tổng hợp lại, các bạn cùng theo dõi nhé.
PART 1
Mẫu câu hỏi và câu trả lời:
- Do you like science?
To be frank with you, I’m not exactly a big fan of science ‘cause it’s always been a closed book to me. Though I know it helps me to acquire an in-depth understanding of the world, I always find it perplexing.
- What kinds of science classes did you study at school?
Apart from Maths, I didn’t study any other science subjects in elementary school. When I was in secondary school, I first came to know and study other subjects like Physics, Chemistry, and Biology because they are part of our curriculum.
- When did you start to learn about science?
Like most people, I started learning about science in elementary school. The first thing I can remember learning about is magnets. The teacher showed us how magnets could attract and repel each other. I remember that it was really fun to play around with magnets and feel the magnetic force between them.
- Which science subject is interesting to you?
- What kinds of interesting things have you done with science?
- How did you study science?

PART 2
Mẫu câu hỏi:
- Describe an area of science that interests you
- Talk about a science subject that you studied and liked
- Describe a science subject you’re interested in
Mẫu câu trả lời:
Question: Describe an area of science that interests you
You should say:
- What it is
- When you knew it
- How you learned it
- And explain why you are interested in it
To be frank, science-related subjects have always failed to capture my interest. The primary reason is that I am not good at it, and I find it quite boring to learn. That is why these subjects have never been my forte ever since I was at school. However, considering what springs to my mind at the moment, I think I would just describe Physics.
It is the fact that Science has multifarious branches, from Math to Chemistry to Biology. Although these subjects all sound tedious to me, I must say Physics shines above the rest, due to its practicality in our real lives.
Basically, Physics dives deep into the basic nature of how things work. It also involves the study of different aspects such as energy, force, space and so on. The thing I like about Physics is that it always triggers my curiosity, and I always question the existence of things thanks to it. For example, the basic principles of Physics help us to have an insight into how the solar system works or how the Earth has formed into a livable planet like it is now.
Although I was not good at studying Physics at all, I must say that I enjoyed the process of learning it because my Physics teacher in high school was quite approachable and humorous, which is extremely helpful to me. Overall, I think Physics is still an interesting subject and one that is worth discovering.

PART 3
Mẫu câu hỏi và câu trả lời:
- Why are you interested in this field of science? Should all people study science?
Well as I said, I have a particular liking for science. Learning about science can help satisfy my curiosity about nature, which is very appealing. I don’t know why I give Physics priority over the others. I just feel more fascinated to learn it. It’s laid the foundation for almost every invention and discovery of humankind. However, I strongly believe that it shouldn’t be mandatory for all people to study science unless they are genuinely interested in it. We just do what we find fun and get better at what we do.
- What do you think about the next technological advancements in the future?
I think those advancements will facilitate human’s work tremendously and make our life more convenient. With such a rapid growth of technology, I believe we’ll receive the benefits soon. Life then will be much easier.
- Why are you interested in this field of science?
Well it’s because I love science in general. The nature is very appealing, and Physics somehow just taps into my interest. As I said earlier, it helps me to observe the world with the different eyes, and I’m more than happy to do so.

PART 1

- What type of technology do you use in your home?
We have a number of labor-saving devices including state-of-the-art technology in our kitchen. These appliances include an induction stove, a dishwasher, and an Internet-enabled refrigerator. All are connected through the Internet of Things so we can remotely control them.

You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to use technology today. It’s all about booting up, logging in and then clicking on the icon that will take you to your favourite application. On the single occasion that my computer crashed, I called someone in to re-install the programs otherwise I’m comfortable.

- Describe a piece of technology that you find useful.

Mẫu câu trả lời
Question: Describe a piece of technology that you find useful.
You should say:
- What it is
- What you can do with it
- How often you use it
- And explain why you find it so useful
I have to admit that I’m a real Internet addict who can’t live a day without scrolling through my social media. So if I had to talk about one piece of technology that comes in handy, it would definitely be my iPhone.
My parents gave it to me four years ago as a gift for my high school graduation, and I’ve used it every day ever since. It was the most cutting-edge Apple iPhone available at the time, jam-packed with useful extras like games and productivity apps, which lived up to my expectations.
Though I know that staring at a screen for more than 6 hours a day is bad for my eyes, I find that I cannot spend more than a few hours without checking my phone. There’s no denying the positive and negative effects this multipurpose equipment has had on my life. I can now look up terms, take notes, take pictures, listen to music, and watch movies all on the screen of my phone, eliminating the need for a dictionary, notebooks, cameras, music players, and televisions.
When I’m on the go, I can use my phone instead of lugging around a big laptop so that I can write and revise things. Furthermore, I save a lot of time and money by not having to physically visit places because of online purchasing and the alerts I receive when deals become available. The problem is that I’ve become too reliant on it. It kills me when my phone suddenly dies or if I leave it at home when I go out. Needless to say, I’ve benefited greatly from having access to this phone for work and school, but I’m considering cutting back on my usage for health reasons

- Cụm từ:
- Be jam-packed with sth: được lấp đầy bởi điều gì

PART 3
Mẫu câu hỏi và câu trả lời:
- Nowadays, people are using their smartphones and computers to communicate with each other. Do you think this is a positive or negative trend?
Despite some negative effects, most of us enjoy the positive things about communication with technology. In the past, the ways of interaction were very limited. Nowadays, it’s very easy to interact with your relatives -and even with the government and organizations- either by emails, mobiles or chatting and I think that this has immensely improved the relationships among people.
- Do you think that there are any disadvantages to modern technology?
I think that there are several disadvantages. Security can be a problem with people hacking into the Internet. Also, modern technology tends to become rapidly obsolete so we become more and more a throw-away society. People are also losing physical contact with one another as they become glued to their screens.
- In your opinion what are the basic computer skills that every person should have today?
All the information we require is available on the Internet, so everyone should be able to boot up a computer, log in and know how to use a search engine. Everyone should have access to the Internet so that they can surf the web.
- In what ways do you think people will benefit from technologies in the future?
- In what ways has technology changed society?
