CẦN CHUẨN BỊ NHỮNG GÌ KHI CHỈ CÒN 1 THÁNG ÔN THI?
Sau đây là 1 số chia sẻ về những gì Huyền nghĩ mình nên chuẩn bị cho từng kỹ năng khi chỉ còn 1 tháng để ôn:
🎯🎯SPEAKING
- Thực hành ôn đều cả 3 part (với mục tiêu 6.5+), còn các bạn có mục tiêu 5-5.5, bạn nên dành nhiều sự tập trung hơn vào 2 part đầu.
- Nắm được cách trả lời các dạng câu hỏi quen thuộc
Ví dụ:
Do you like X?
What do you like most about X?
How has X changed in recent years?
…

- Chuẩn bị các đề tài (ít nhất phải ok các chủ đề thường gặp như: Study/Work, Hometown, Hobbies, …), mỗi đề tài mình chuẩn bị khoảng 3-5 câu hỏi.
Ví dụ: STUDY
Do you work or are you a student?
What do you like most about your study?
Do you prefer to study alone or with others?
…

- Nắm được cơ bản cách trả lời (mindmap) của 6 chủ đề chính trong Part 2: https://ielts-nguyenhuyen.com/ielts-speaking-part-2-6-topic-chinh/
- Học các kéo dài câu trả lời cho Part 3: https://ielts-nguyenhuyen.com/cach-tra-loi-ielts-speaking-part-3/

Ví dụ: Cấu trúc IT DEPENDS (ON …)
"How do you feel about others borrowing things from you?
Well, I think it DEPENDS ON the things that they want to borrow from me. If they are low-cost objects, like hairpins, pens, small amounts of money, clothes or even books, I will happily lend them out, and sometimes, I may also give them as a gift. However, if it is a pricey product or a large sum of money, I will have to consider carefully and will likely not give it to people who I can’t trust."

- Chuẩn bị sẵn các tình huống “bất ngờ” như: Lỡ mình ko hiểu từ nào trong câu hỏi, …
Ví dụ:
* Nếu mình không hiểu câu hỏi → muốn đề nghị giám khảo giải thích câu hỏi đó → Could you explain that, please?
* Nếu có 1 hay 1 vài từ trong câu hỏi mà mình không hiểu → muốn giám khảo giải thích nghĩa của các từ đó → Could you explain what … means, please?

- Chuẩn bị các mẫu câu nhằm mục đích “câu thời gian” để mình có thêm thời gian nghĩ ý tưởng.
Ví dụ: That’s a difficult question, let me think for a second.

🎯🎯WRITING:
- Hệ thống sườn mẫu (nếu được) cho các dạng bài chính. (Để khi gặp đề “lạ” trong Task 2 chẳng hạn, mình lỡ bị mất kiểm soát về thời gian khi làm bài thì mình có thể áp dụng các câu trong sườn mẫu - để đảm bảo mình làm đủ 3 phần Mở - Thân-Kết.

Ví dụ sườn mẫu cho dạng Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

It is argued that …, whist those with the opposing view believe that …. This essay discusses both sides of this argument and then I will give my own perspective.

On the one hand, …

On the other hand, …

In conclusion, I believe both arguments have their merits. On balance, however, I feel that … because (of) …

- Nhìn lại quyển vở học từ vựng theo chủ đề. (cố gắng hệ thống từ vựng theo các chủ đề chính để mình có thể linh hoạt làm bài thi). Huyền sẽ nói chi tiết hơn về từ vựng ở phần dưới.

🎯🎯LISTENING + READING
TẬP TRUNG GIẢI ĐỀ
Trước đó bạn đã ôn để nắm được cách giải từng dạng bài rồi, bây giờ bạn sẽ bắt đầu giải đề. Tài liệu giải đề: https://www.facebook.com/ieltsfocusmode/posts/1697444003777215

Thời gian biểu: Nếu thời gian cho phép bạn hãy giải đề trùng với giờ thi thật (9h-11h sáng: Listening + Reading), tối hoặc hôm sau sẽ phân tích lại các để đã giải -> rút từ (đặc biệt lưu ý tới từ đồng nghĩa/cách paraphase).

🎯🎯TỪ VỰNG
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/13ov4LEqToZja5VmJ8pdEomTyPVmemgXD?usp=sharing
Ưu tiên học từ theo cụm, theo chủ đề. Tới giai đoạn này mình nên “tủ” sẵn cho mình từ vựng theo chủ đề chính (để có thể linh hoạt trong Writing và Speaking).

1 cách để nhớ từ vựng lâu và rất hiệu quả (ít nhất đối với Huyền) là tập hợp từ thành mindmap hoặc bảng (table) theo ý tưởng. Ví dụ:

Khi học từ vựng về Crime, Huyền sẽ học dựa theo mindmap ý tưởng: NGUYÊN NHÂN - GIẢI PHÁP
Từ đó Huyền sẽ học được các từ vựng về các loại tội phạm, nguyên nhân gây ra các tội đó, hình phạt, … như:

Các loại tội phạm:
▪minor crimes such as shoplifting or pickpocketing: các tội nhẹ như ăn trộm vặt tại các cửa hàng hay móc túi
▪serious crimes such as robbery or murder: các tội nặng như cướp hay giết người

Hình phạt
▪to receive the death penalty: nhận án tử hình
▪to receive prison sentences/to be sent to prison: nhận án tù/ bị bỏ tù
▪life imprisonment: tù chung thân
▪to impose stricter/more severe punishments on…: áp đặt những hình phạt nặng nề hơn lên…
…
Trên đây là 1 vài chia sẻ về những gì mình nên chuẩn bị khi chỉ còn có 1 tháng để ôn thi IELTS. Huyền mong rằng những chia sẻ trên hữu ích với page mình nhé.

P/s: Huyền sắp hoàn thành khóa học IELTS Writing chuyên sâu cho mục tiêu 6.5-7 rồi, hẹn page mình khoảng đầu tháng 6 nhé <3

Yêu page nhiều 🥰

明天的港台荚文信Happy Mother’s Day

It is hilarious that mothers began to enter into the recent political reform debate on the question "pocket or not pocket". Executive Councilor Bernard Chan was asked by a yum cha lady during his turn to go for street campaign: "If your wife was chosen by the Central Government, what would you do?" Chan answered by saying this is the same as my Mother choosing for me!!! This reminded me of the time of the Cultural Revolution when Chinese were told Mao Sze Dong was dearer to you than your Mother. Bernard Chan without thinking became Red Guards that waved the red little book at his Mother. Legislative Councillor Ng Leung-Sing representing the banking sector went further and said that over thousands of years in China Mothers had chosen the wives for their children. This is the Banker legislator who wanted to return Hong Kong to the feudal days of China that practiced blind marriage and think this is acceptable.

It was funny but also very sad that educated people in Hong Kong can bend so low as to refer the Communist Party as their Mother and is willing to give up the right to choose one's own wife. This led me to think of a more philosophical reason for not pocketing the political reform package imposed on us by the Chinese Communist Party. Hong Kong People should not degrade oneself to accept lies. This is the struggle of living in truth against living in lies and this is the struggle of life and death for the survival of Hong Kong and our value system of speaking out for truth. Living in truth is the central theme of the famous essay "Power to the Powerless" by Havel, the playwright dissident turned President of the first Democratic Czechoslovakia. Rereading this essay make us understand what the fight over true democracy is all about. This is how Havel described the Communist System:

“Government by bureaucracy is called popular government; the working class is enslaved in the name of the working class; the complete degradation of the individual is presented as his or her ultimate liberation; depriving people of information is called making it available; the use of power to manipulate is called the public control of power, and the arbitrary use of power is called observing the legal code; the repression of culture is called its development; the expansion of imperial influence is presented as support for the oppressed; the lack of free expression becomes the highest form of freedom; farcical elections become the highest form of democracy; banning independent thought becomes the most scientific of world views; military occupation becomes fraternal assistance. Because the regime is captive to its own lies, it must falsify everything. It falsifies the past. It falsifies the present, and it falsifies the future. It falsifies statistics. It pretends not to possess an omnipotent and unprincipled police apparatus. It pretends to respect human rights. It pretends to persecute no one. It pretends to fear nothing. It pretends to pretend nothing.”

Isn't this happening in Hong Kong today?It is here that Vaclav Havel makes one of his most compelling points about living within the Communist system:

Individuals need not believe all these mystifications, but they must behave as though they did, or they must at least tolerate them in silence, or get along well with those who work with them. For this reason, however, they must live within a lie. They need not accept the lie. It is enough for them to have accepted their life with it and in it. For by this very fact, individuals confirm the system, fulfill the system, make the system, ARE the system.”

If we accepted the lies of the Government that passing the proposed political reform package with the 1200 so called elected representatives controlling the nomination process is a step forward and is a fulfillment of the promise of universal suffrage, we as the individuals are confirming the system and are the system. Also to quote Havel: a regime can lull its underlings at worst and convert them at best to “the cause”. And what, is “the cause”? Power… indisputably and unflinchingly secure in the hands of the regime. This is what exactly the Hong Kong Government is doing, to convert all of us to the Cause of securing power for the Regime.

To “live within the truth” is to defy the unreality – in big ways, or in small. Havel’s example of a green-grocer organizing an underground group, or simply not putting a propaganda poster in his window is excellent. There is no shortage of fear (or brutal consequence) under these regimes and Havel admits this with sympathy. At the same time, he reinforces that fissures in the edifice of lies can come in big forms or small – and no small act of “living within the truth” is without its impact on the oppressive regime. Havel reinforces the threat of “living within the truth”:
“By breaking the rules of the game, [the citizen living within the truth] has disrupted the game as such. He has exposed it as a mere game. He has shattered the world of appearances, the fundamental pillar of the system. He has upset the power structure by tearing apart what holds it together. He has demonstrated that living a lie is living a lie. He has broken through the exalted facade of the system and exposed the real, base foundations of power. He has said that the emperor is naked. And because the emperor is in fact naked, something extremely dangerous has happened: by his action, the greengrocer has addressed the world. He has enabled everyone to peer behind the curtain. He has shown everyone that it IS possible to live within the truth.

It is our choice: truth or lies. We are already the fortunate one to be living under communist rule with a makeshift shelter of one country two system. We must defend this shelter by starting to live in truth and not accepting blind marriage by mothers.

Mothers have no desire but the goods for their children and comparing mothers to the Central Government is nauseating. Let us live in truth and believe in our mothers.
