Bài mẫu chủ đề Describe a thing you did to learn another language

As you know, English is a compulsory subject in Vietnam and every Vietnamese child has to study English from primary school. Learning a foreign language at an early age was a huge challenge for me. I have to admit that I felt like such an English dummy back then because I couldn't make heads nor tails of any grammar theory. If I recall correctly, the situation got worse when I needed to pass my 7th grade final English exam. Most of the questions were about grammar but I literally forgot everything I knew about it. Fortunately, just 2 weeks right before D-day, I went online and found an interesting study method called “Mind Mapping”,  a technique that can help you to cram knowledge in a short period by using colorful graphs. After finding out about Mind Mapping, I decided to apply it immediately,  and you know, this method was a true life-saver. By organizing my lesson in different colors and using drawings to illustrate the vocabulary and grammar, I could memorize things faster and revise my notes easier. In the end, I passed the test with flying colors and since then English was no longer been a nightmare to me. I honestly was so proud of myself and have been using this method to learn other subjects since then.

IELTS Speaking Part 3 Sample

1. What difficulties do people face when learning a language?

Maybe it's how to pronounce the language exactly. For example, while English has voiced and unvoiced sounds, Vietnamese doesn't so it is a challenge for beginners to “make" sounds that don't exist in their mother tongue. Other than that, learning grammar also takes lots of time.

• mother tongue : ngôn ngữ mẹ đẻ

She can speak English but her mother tongue is Chinese

2. Do you think language learning is important? Why?

Definitely. Language is key to building relationships so the more languages you know, the more power you hold. Besides, learning a language  can improve memory, concentration and even your confidence, because you have to practice speaking the language.
