Hôm nay, Bear xin nói 1 chút về thi

WRITING của IELTS.

Phần thi WRITING của IELTS (60

phút) được chia làm 2:

TASK 1: Viết 1 bài REPORT (20

phút): ít nhất là 150 từ

TASK 2: Viết 1 bài ESSAY (40 phút):

ít nhất là 250 từ

Khi phát đề WRITING ra, bạn phải

ngay lập tức làm phần ESSAY liền,

vì phần này chiếm số điểm nhiều

hơn. (70%)

Nên Bear xin được nói trước về

http://www.canadavisa.com/ielts/videos/Tour.swf

CHIẾN LƯỢC viết ESSAY để đạt điểm cao.

Trước tiên, cũng phải biết qua tiêu chuẩn chấm điểm

của giám khảo:

1/ TASK FULFILLMENT: tức là mình có làm đầy đủ

những gì đề yêu câù hay không. Ví dụ: đề yêu cầu

phân tích cái lợi và hại của việc đi xe buýt, mà bài

essay của mình chỉ phân tích cái lợi mà thôi, tức là

mình chưa đáp ứng được cái gọi là: TASK

FULFILLMENT này.

2/ ESSAY STRUCTURE: tức là phần này người ta sẽ

chấm xem cấu trúc nguyên bài văn của mình thế nào.

Đoạn văn có mạch lạc ý hay không. Đoạn này , đoạn

trước và đoạn sau đó, có match nhau hay không. Rồi

nhìn tổng quát thì bài ESSAY của mình có đẹp không.

Đẹp ở đây là thế này, ví dụ:

a/ mở bài 3 dòng,

b/ thân bài 2 đoạn (mỗi đoạn 10 dòng)

c/ kết luận 3 dòng

Tức là nhìn vào bài ESSAY, thấy bài cân đối,

chứ không phải:

a.1/ mở bài 10 dòng

b.1/ thân bài 2 đoạn (mỗi đoạn 4 dòng)

c.1/ kết luận 2 dòng

Nếu bài essay mà nhìn vào thế này thì xấu lắm và

cũng không đạt điểm ESSAY STRUCTURE

3/ ACADEMIC VOCABULARY (click here): Là phần TỪ

VỰNG DẠNG ACADEMIC mà Bear đã nói đến. Chỉ cần

bài essay của mình có khoảng 5 từ như thế, là cũng

đủ để đạt khoảng 7.0 rồi .

4/ GRAMMAR – SENTENCE GRAMMAR: phần này người

ta chấm xem trình độ grammar của mình thế nào.

Nếu sai grammar nhiều (he do not..) thì không thể nào

qua nổi 5.0.

Vậy Bear tóm tắt lại tiêu chuẩn chấm điểm của giám

khảo nhé:

1/ TASK FULFILLMENT

2/ ESSAY STRUCTURE

3/ ACADEMIC VOCABULARY

4/ GRAMMAR – SENTENCE STRUCTURE

VÀ TUYỆT CHIÊU LÀ Ở ĐÂY:

NHỮNG CẤU TRÚC PHẢI CÓ ĐỂ BÀI ESSAY ĐẠT ĐIỂM

CAO:

A. RELATIVE CLAUSE (who, whom, which..)

B. PASSIVE (dạng bình thường hoặc phức tạp đều ok)

C. IF: nên sử dụng IF lọai 2, 3, 4, 5. Càng phức tạp càng

tốt. Nhưng nếu không biết rõ cách dùng thì thôi nhé.

Sử dụng lọai 1 là được, chứ lo mà suy nghĩ phức tạp

rồi lại mất thời gian.

D. EMPHATIC SENTENCES: là dạng câu nhấn mạnh. Ở

đây có thể sử dụng dạng câu đảo ngữ (Seldom do I

write essay) hoặc 1 loại câu mà trong mấy sách IELTS

khuyên dùng : What I want to emphasize is that /

What I want to say is that / What this will lead to is

that..

E. IELTS WORDS (trong quyển 22.000 từ)

Khi đi thi, nên viết nháp 5 mục này để nhắc nhở mình.

Nếu mình đã có phần nào rồi, thì tick lên 1 cái, nếu

làm sắp xong mà vẫn chưa có câu IF nào thì kết luận

phải ráng cho vào chẳng hạn. Sao cho đủ 5 mục trên,

thì.. thi xong.. khỏi xem kết quả.. vì biết chắc là điểm

cao rồi

Đi thi, phần lớn là bị tâm ly về vấn đề thời gian: 1

tiếng đồng hồ cho 2 tasks. Nên, phải chăm chỉ luyện

tập ở nhà. Lúc nào làm cũng phải xem đồng hồ. Canh

làm sao phải finish bài essay trong vòng 40 phút. Phải

luyện như vậy thì nhịp tim của mình mới làm quen với

áp lực phòng thi được.

Khi luyện tập, 1 món mà bạn nên.. mua là: KẸO COOL

AIR kẹo này the the giúp bạn tập trung cao độ cho

bài làm (bạn nào ăn không được kẹo the thì.. tìm cách

khác nhé Bear chưa nghiên cứu ra cái gì có thể tập

trung hơn cái này. Lúc đi thi, Bear cũng đã sử dụng

lọai kẹo the (ngậm vô rồi tan luôn, quên tên rồi!), nên

tập trung rất cao độ.

Ah, có bạn sẽ hỏi: Làm sao canh được bao nhiêu chữ?

Câu trả lời là: khi viết xong 1 dòng, bạn phải đếm

ngay xem dòng đó bạn viết được bao nhiêu chữ. Ví dụ,

nếu dòng đó bạn viết 10 chữ, thì bạn phải ngay lập

tức, đếm 25 dòng (25 dòng x 10 chữ = 250 chữ) và

chấm 1 cái chấm nhỏ ở dòng thứ 25 đó, để nhắc nhở

bạn là đến đó là xem như ok. Viết quá cũng được,

nhưng cũng vừa phải thôi, chứ nhiều quá thì cũng

không đủ thời gian đâu.

Đọc nãy giờ, chắc là bạn mệt rồi Nghỉ ngơi chút nhé.

Thư giãn chút và nghiệm lại 1 số ly thuyết mà Bear

mentioned.

Lần sau, bạn và Bear sẽ cùng áp dụng ly thuyết này

vào 1 bài ESSAY mẫu để bạn rõ hơn và Bear sẽ hướng

dẫn bạn cách làm mở bài, thân bài và kết luận.

has made our lives generally more comfortable but

many traditional values and customs have been lost

and this is a pity.

To what extent do you agree or disagree?

You should write at least 250 words.

[Đề này lấy từ quyển CAMBRIDGE INSTANT IELTS,

trang 95]

INTRODUCTION: Phần mở bài, nên có:

1. Topic sentence(s): viết lại y của đề bài. Nhưng quan

trọng là không copy y chang từ của đề, mà phải

‘biến tấu’ sao cho khác đi 1 chút: ví dụ: dùng từ

đồng nghĩa, hoặc đổi sang cấu trúc khác (chủ động ó

bị động). Tóm lại, dùng từ, cấu trúc sao cho khác với

đề bài (mà vẫn giữ nguyên nội dung nhé là được.

Vì nếu dùng lại y chang những từ trong đề thì giám

khảo sẽ trừ những từ đó ra, trong tổng số từ của bài

essay mình viết được, và như thế, có khi mình lại

không đủ từ.

Trong phần introduction này, nên sử dụng câu ‘It is

argued that..’

2. Purpose of the essay: Nên sử dụng 1 trong 2 câu

sau đây làm cầu nối cho mở bài và thân bài:

a. This essay will examine / analyse the issue in

detail.

b. This essay will take a closer look at the issue.

=> Xem thử phần INTRODUCTION mẫu này nhé:

In our contemporary life, people are trying to

earn as much money as they can to buy more

things. It is argued that these things have created a

chance for people to have a comfortable life.

However, it is unfortunate that many traditional

values and customs have also been lost on the way.

This essay will take a closer look at the issue. (63

words)

BODY:

Phần body nên chia làm 2 đoạn. Ví dụ, theo đề này,

Bear chia body thành 2 đoạn:

a. 1 đọan nói về traditional values

b. 1 đoạn nói về customs.

Đa số ở những đề khác, mình chia làm 2 đoạn :

a. 1 đoạn nói về ONE SIDE OF THE ARGUMENT (Ví dụ:

cái lợi khi đi xe búyt)

b. 1 đoạn nói về THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ARGUMENT

(Ví dụ: bất tiện khi đi xe búyt)

Trong mỗi đoạn, mình phải cho ví dụ để support y

minh muốn nói. Nên dùng những từ như: Firstly, in

addition, also, moreover, further more / However, on

the other hand, in contrast…

Xem thử phần BODY mẫu của bài này nhé:

There are some traditional values which are in

danger of being lost. One of them is the bond of the

family. People in a family nowadays do not spend

time having lunch or dinner together. Most of the

time is spent on working and studying in order to

acquire some social status. A delicious meal with the

whole family is being replaced by fast food, and

hardly does every body in a family have enough

time to listen to each other. (81 words)

Some customs are also being lost because the

majority of the young generation have been

focusing on lastest things. Music is a good example

of this. while the elder like listening to Cai Luong,

the younger want to listen to pop, rock music. Some

of the adolescents even do not have any knowledge

of Cai Luong. What this will lead to is that Cai Luong

will naturally not exist in the future. (71 words)

CONCLUSION:

Nên dùng những từ sau: In conclusion / In summary /

To sum up / Over all

Xem thử phần CONCLUSION của bài này:

In conclusion, if the subject like ‘the value of

protecting the cultural identities’ is taught at both

school and family, it will affect the young generation

and we still can have a comfortable life without

losing any thing. (38 words)

TOTAL: 253 words.

Marks: 7

Như vậy, bài này có đủ:

1. Relative Clause

2. Passive

3. If

4. Emphatic sentence

5. IELTS words

Đặc biệt : do not / is not.. hẳn hoi, không được viết

tắt : don’t / isn’t..

Cũng dễ phải không nào. Ai cũng nghĩ WRITING của

IELTS là cái gì đó ghê gớm lắm. Chứ thật ra, cũng dễ

thôi à. Chỉ cần mình diễn đạt y cho rõ ràng, là ok.

Tất cả những gì Bear trình bày ở đây đều là học được

từ Thầy Nick, ở lớp luyện thi 90 An Dương Vương ,

Q5. Thầy dạy cực kỳ hay và rất tận tâm. Học phí ở

đây tương đối ok (so với mấy chỗ khác) mà chất

lượng giảng dạy thì TUYỆT VỜI! Có 3 cấp độ cho lớp

IELTS. Nếu muốn học, bạn sẽ thi xếp lớp, rồi tùy

trình độ mà người ta sắp lớp cho mình. (Bear nhớ

học phí của lớp ADVANCED là khoảng: 2,

300,000VNĐ, Học 6 tuần, 1 tuần 5 buổi, 1 buổi 2

tiếng.)

Và bây giờ, bạn chỉ việc mua sách luyện IELTS, tập

viết thử những đề trong đó là ok. Đọc những bài

mẫu, và bắt chước những kiểu câu hay của người ta,

cũng là 1 cách tốt. Thi IELTS, không phải như viết

ESSAY của trình độ thạc sĩ.. , nên không sợ người ta

bắt chuyện mình plagiarism (đạo văn)

Như Bear đã nói ở những phần trước, muốn

đạt điểm cao phần WRITING không khó. Chỉ

việc đọc nhiều bài mẫu, bắt chước cách người

ta viết, cấu trúc, từ vựng, cách người ta

argue, etc. (học thuộc lòng luôn bài mẫu

trong sách càng tốt, vì khi gặp những đề

khác, mình có thể ‘phăng’ ra câu tương tự mà

chỉ việc thay thế 1 vài từ cho hợp với đề bài).

Và nhớ học từ vựng IELTS mỗi ngày đều đặn 3

từ nữa nhé! Click here để biết sự lợi hại của

IELTS WORDS này.

Hôm nay mình cùng xem bài mẫu này. Bài

này Bear trích từ sách Academic Writing

Practice for IELTS (Tác giả Sam McCarter, chú

giải tiếng Việt: Nguyễn Thành Yến, Nhà Xuất

Bản Tổng Hợp Thành Phố Hồ Chí Minh)

WRITING TASK 2:

You should spend about 40 minutes on this

task.

Write about the following topic:

More and more qualified people are moving

from poor to rich countries to fill vacancies in

specialist areas like engineering, computing

and medicine. Some people believe that by

encouraging the movement of such people,

rich countries are stealing from poor

countries. Others feel that this is only part of

the natural movement of workers around the

world.

+ What is your opinion?

+ Do you think rich countries should pay

poorer countries for the people they

encourage to come?

+ What other measures could rich countries

take to encourage qualified people to stay

and help develop their own countries?

You should write ate least 250 words.

Give reasons for your answer and include any

relevant examples from your own knowledge

or experience.

++++++++++++

The so-called ‘brain drain’ from poor to

rich countries is now robbing poorer countries

of essential personnel like doctors, nurses,

engineers, and the trend is set to continue, if

not to get worse.

Some people say this movement of

people around the world is not a new

phenomenon. Migrant workers have always

been attracted by the wider choice of

employment and greater opportunity in major

cities in their own countries and abroad.

Recently, as the technological age has

advanced and as richer countries find

themselves with not enough workers to feed

their development, they have had to run to

other parts of the world to find the necessary

manpower. Many richer European countries,

for example, are now trying to attract skilled

IT workers from my home country India by

offering higher salaries than they could hope

to earn at home. With the globalisation of the

world economy, many people feel that the

process cannot be stopped.

Others, myself included, are of the

opinion that measures should be taken to

address the problem, by compensating poorer

countries financially for the loss of investment

in the people they have trained, like doctors

and nurses. Admittedly, this may be

cumbersome to administer, but an attempt

could be made to get it off the ground.

Another step, which in part has already begun

to happen, is to use the forces of globalisation

itself. Western countries could encourage

people to stay in their own countries by direct

investment in projects like computer factories

or by sending patients abroad for treatment,

as is already happening.

It is obviously difficult to restrict the

movement of people around the world and it

is probably foolish to try to stop it, but

attempts should be made to redress the

imbalance.

WRITING TASK 2:

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task:


One day the world’s oil and gas reserves will run

out. The search for alternative energy sources like

wind power, solar power, burning waste, and water

power are causing as much environmental damage

as the oil and nuclear power sources they are

intended to replace.

in 37 post(s)

+ How far do you agree with this latter statement?

+ What possible benefits do the alternative energy

sources bring? OR What damage do they cause?



relevant examples from your own knowledge or

experience.

(Academic Writing Practice for IELTS (Tác giả Sam

McCarter, chú giải tiếng Việt: Nguyễn Thành Yến,

Nhà Xuất Bản Tổng Hợp Thành Phố Hồ Chí Minh;

TRANG 115)

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++++++++++++++

The criticism that alternative energy sources

such as wind power etc cause as much

environmental damage as fossil fuel has some

justification. Some people, for example, are strongly

against the use of wind power. Indeed, the large

wind farms in some European countries have come

in for strong criticism and not just from

environmentalists. They are very ugly, even if they

are in the sea far away from the coast. Burning

household waste for fuel also causes problems,

because of the harmful fumes that are the by-

product of the process. So while the amount of

waste put into landfill sites is reduced thus

preserving the environment, the air is being polluted

instead! However, in my opinion, such sources need

to be encouraged as a means of replacing fossil fuel

as they have considerable advantages.

First of all, as the technology for using

alternative sources of energy is becoming more and

more sophisticated, any harmful by-product will be

minimised. Moreover, the cost of producing the

necessary equipment will decline. Take solar energy,

for example. In the past, the panels that were

needed to utilise energy from the sun were huge

and not very environmentally friendly. Now,

however, the same pannels are small enough not to

be noticed or are made to look like say roof tiles or

normal parts of vehicles. The same will apply to

wind farms as the giant turbines become smaller

and less obvious.

Energy from water also comes in for a lot of

criticism. This has come about from the many high

profile dam projects around the world where huge

areas have been destroyed both for people and local

flora and fauna. However, it is a safer alternative to

nuclear energy and a price that has to be paid.

Whilst any form of energy that we seek to

utilise is going to cause some damage, I feel that

wind, sun and water have to be harnessed for the

good environment.

WRITING TASK 2:

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.


Only formal examinations, written or practical, can

give a clear picture of students’ true knowledge and

ability at university level. Continuous assessment

like course work and projects are poor measures of

student ability.

experience.




TRANG 117)

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++++++++++++++

The debate about how to assess students at

university has been raging as long as such

institutions have existed. In one group are those

who believe that the only sure way to test the ability

to study or achievement is through formal

examinations.

The increased use of the internet has shown the

difficulty that teachers have in assessing their

students’ course work. Students can download vast

amounts of material from the web. In fact, it is

impossible for a teacher to know whether the

student did, in fact, do the work himself. The

student may have done part of the work for a

project, but it is difficult for the tutor to assess the

student properly. The problem then is that if the

teacher ignores the possibility that the student stole

the ideas from somewhere else, a body of workers

will be produced who are not really up to the jobs.

In the other group are those who feel that

normal written exams are wrong and that

assessment should be continuous throughout a

course. There are students who do not perform well

under pressure in exams. They may know the

information that they are asked to write about very

well, but may not be able to perform. So it would be

wrong to destroy someone’s career just because of

this. Furthermore, the numbers here are not

insignificant, so the effect on the job market would

be high.

The answer, I feel, lies in somewhere in the

middle. A university degree should be based on a

combination of both forms of assessment. The

proportion of marks given to each type of

assessment could depend on the nature of the

course. For example, a particular course, say an MA,

may be more research based work, which would be

better assessed by course work like essays etc. In

this case, however, it is still wise to have an

examination like an oral or a viva where the student

is examined in detail about the content of what they

have written.

Although tourists in many countries are a significant

source of revenue, they are frowned upon for

various reasons. For the tourist, however, travelling

is supposed to broaden the mind and be an

educational experience.

+ In what ways do you think travelling does this?

+ And in what ways do you think travelling does the

opposite, i.e. narrows people’s mind?




experience.




)

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++++++++++++++

Travelling like everything has two sides. For

some people, it only serves to confirm their

prejudices, whereas for others it acts as a means of

education and broadens the mind.

First of all, visiting other countries abroad can

help people of all ages learn languages, so that they

broaden their experiences. For example, learning a

language in the country in which it is spoken is very

different from studying it in one’s home country. For

myself, coming to this country has enabled me to

improve my English and meet my new friends.

Similarly, while moving around a country, travellers

can learn about the geography and local culture

rather than relying on books or other media as

sources of information. For my own part, having first

hand knowledge of the United Kingdom has been

invaluable. I understand the culture more and can

make decisions for myself rather than have them

made for me by other people.

Unfortunately, there is a downside to travelling.

People frequently feel nervous when they travel,

either through excitement or through anxiety about

what is to come. In such circumstances people tend

to be more critical of the treatment they receive.

How often has one heard: where I come from, it isn’t

done like this or we do it this way? It is hardly

surprising that this happens when the same thing

occurs with people visiting others in different parts

of their own country. Think what happens when

people get married!

Travelling will continue to enrich the minds of

some, but, unfortunately, it will confirm the

prejudices of others. This is human nature.
