Cùng IPS phân tích 7 loại câu hỏi xuất hiện trong Part 3 và các cấu trúc ngữ pháp nên sử dụng dưới đây để tự tin ghi điểm với giám khảo nhé!

1. Dạng Opinion

Dạng này hỏi trực tiếp ý kiến cá nhân về vấn đề nào đó, dùng Wh-questions và How. Không nên bắt đầu mỗi câu trả lời đều bằng ‘I think…’ hay ‘In my opinion’. Một số câu khác có thể dùng để đa dạng ngôn ngữ hơn như:

• As I see it,…
• Personally,…
• For me,…

Nếu cảm thấy chắc chắn về ý kiến của mình, có thể nói:

• I’m convinced that….
• I’m certain that….
• I’m confident that….

Nếu không chắc chắn lắm về ý kiến của mình, có thể nói:

• I guess that…
• I suppose that….
• I’d say that…..

❓ What are some of the ways people can help others in the community?

👉 As I see it, one can contribute to their community in several meaningful ways, one of which is to donate blood. Blood shortages are common in many places, especially after the recent terror attack in Moscow, for example. Hundreds of people have lined up at blood donation centers in hopes of saving more innocent lives, which can help relieve the strain on the local medical system.

2. Dạng Evaluate

Dạng này yêu cầu trả lời đồng ý hay không về ý kiến của người khác, do đó nên sử dụng các cấu trúc biểu thị đồng ý như:

• I couldn’t agree with you more.
• That’s so true./That’s for sure.
• No doubt about it.
• I suppose so./I guess so.
• You/They have a point there.

Hoặc không đồng ý như:

• I don’t think so.
• I’m afraid I have to disagree.
• I’d say the exact opposite.
• Not necessarily.
• That’s not always the case.

❓ Some say that people helped others more in the past than they do now. Do you agree or disagree?

👉 Not necessarily. It’s true that in the past, communities were mostly small and therefore more tight-knit, everyone would regularly pitch in to help each other with, for instance, farming during harvest season. Such community support may seem more visible than in today’s case. But nowadays people still care about helping others. It could be through community projects or online fundraising, which wouldn’t have been possible in the past. So I’m afraid I have to disagree, because we’re still as helpful as ever, just in different ways.

3. Dạng Future

Dạng này hay hỏi bạn nghĩ một chủ đề nào đó sẽ thay đổi thế nào trong tương lai. Để đưa ra dự đoán, đơn giản nhất là dùng tương lai đơn ‘will + V’ hoặc ‘be going to + V’ (trong văn nói là ‘be gonna + V’). Ngoài ra các cấu trúc phức tạp hơn có thể dùng:

• X plans to/intends to…..
• It can be difficult to foresee…..
• In the foreseeable future,…
• It is predicted/unforeseeable that….
• It is (un)likely/(im)probable that…
• I envisage (myself doing sth)….
• Câu điều kiện loại 1 – If + simple present, simple future.

❓ Some people say that working from home will be quite common in the future. Do you agree?

👉 Yes, it’s pretty much inevitable that working from home is going to be a thing in the future. With advancements in technology and especially after COVID-19, people have begun to consider the flexibility to work online when finding jobs, and many companies have realized the need.

Plus, when Gen-Zers dominate the workforce in the foreseeable future, with their changing attitudes towards the traditional 9-to-5 job stuck in an office, I can envisage them wanting to skip the commute and work in their pajamas sometimes. So yeah, it’s reasonable to expect that working from home will be a common practice in the future.
