IELTS Speaking sample:

I’d like to tell you about Bang – my all-time favorite card game, which is something I always love playing with my close friends.

So Bang is a social deduction card game which takes inspiration from the Wild West. It is best when played between 7 players who’ll be divided into three fractions: The first one includes a Sheriff and two Deputies, the second one includes 3 outlaws, and the last one includes the one and only Renegade. Each fraction has its own winning conditions. The Sheriff and deputies’ primary goal is to eliminate all outlaws and renegade. The three outlaws must kill the The Sheriff to win, while the Renegade has the most complex objective of them all. In order to come out victorious, he must first side with the Law enforcers and eliminate all Outlaws. Then, he must kill the deputies, before finally revealing his treachery and face his ultimate nemesis: the Sheriff.

The main reason why I love this game is the mysterious and thrilling vibe it creates. The main reason for this is because the true identity of every player, except for the Sheriff, will remain unknown until he or she’s eliminated from the game. This means that in order to win, not only do you have to make careful observations and deductions to identify the real enemies, but also plan out a specific strategy and wait for the ripe moment to strike. It makes for really fun and unpredictable scenarios where, for example, the Sheriff mistakenly kills one of his deputies and loses all of his equipment as a punishment, or when an Outlaw accidentally activates a dynamite and blows one of his friends’ head off.

Another thing I particularly enjoy about Bang is its limitless replayability. At the start of a game, each player can randomly choose one character with a specific passive ability which has a huge influence on his or her playstyle. There are more than 20 characters with different abilities, which means that you can’t just use the same tactics over and over again because each character’s ability will only work best under a certain approach and situation. Therefore, each game you play is a completely different experience, which explains why I could play Bang for literally hours without feeling bored.

IELTS Speaking Part 3 Sample

1. What kinds of jobs need people to work in a team?

Gợi ý: form an essential part (đóng một phần không thể thiếu), accomplish their missions (hoàn thành nhiệm vụ của họ)

Teamwork is crucial for people working as firefighters, construction workers, policemen and so on. These kinds of jobs can’t be done by only one person because each member has an essential part in the tasks and they need to support each other in order to accomplish their missions.

2. What can parents do with their children to make them happy?

Gợi ý: innocent angels (thiên thần ngây thơ), quality time (thời gian chất lượng), be over the moon (cực kì hạnh phúc), be pampered (được nâng niu, yêu chiều)

Well, children are innocent angels so I believe they need nothing more than quality time with their parents, some sweets and toys. Today, a lot of parents are so busy with their work that sometimes they let their children play with computers or a babysitter. But I believe kids will be over the moon if they are pampered by their parents and listen to their bedtime stories and have a kiss on their cheek before sleep.

3. How can children improve their social skills?

Gợi ý: enhance (nâng cao), scared and shy (sợ sệt và ngại ngùng), teamwork games (trò chơi cần teamwork)

I think the best way to enhance children’s social skills is to encourage them to talk and be confident even when they are in a new environment. Some children are scared and shy when their parents are not around. But if parents let them make new friends and let them play teamwork games such as soccer or rope jumping, they will be braver and have better communication skills.

4. What are the benefits of boys and girls playing together?

Gợi ý: cooperation (hợp tác), adroit(khéo léo), sex discrimination (phân biệt giới tính), treat equally (đối xử công bằng)

When boys and girls play together, they can develop cooperation, I suppose. While boys are stronger and faster, girls tend to be more adroit and calm. So they support each other well when they play and they also can learn from each other. Besides, letting boys and girls play together since they are little will decrease sex discrimination. When these boys or girls grow up, they understand that their counterparts have their own talents and they deserve to be treated equally.
