IELTS TUTOR gợi ý bài tham khảo:
Today, I would like to tell you about a truly captivating (engrossing, fascinating, absorbing - buoyant, indifferent, repellent - lôi cuốn, hấp dẫn) movie I recently watched called Real Steel. I had the opportunity to watch it last month (a month ago, recently, a few weeks back - years ago, long ago, ages ago - tháng trước) at a state-of-the-art (cutting-edge, high-tech, advanced - outdated, old-fashioned, obsolete - hiện đại) cinema near my house. I went there with my best friend, who also shares my passion for sci-fi blockbusters (major sci-fi films, big-budget sci-fi movies, high-grossing sci-fi films - independent films, low-budget films, niche films - phim khoa học viễn tưởng đình đám).
The film is set in the not-too-distant future (near future, foreseeable future, upcoming era - distant past, ancient times, long ago - tương lai không xa), where the sport of boxing has been revolutionized (transformed, modernized, reshaped - preserved, retained, maintained - cách mạng hóa) with towering, humanoid robots (robotic fighters, mechanical boxers, automated warriors - human boxers, live fighters, organic athletes - robot hình người) taking the place of human athletes. The protagonist, Charlie, is a former boxer who is now down on his luck (struggling, facing hardships, having a hard time - prosperous, successful, thriving - gặp khó khăn). He stumbles upon an obsolete (outdated, antiquated, old-fashioned - modern, contemporary, state-of-the-art - lỗi thời) robot named Atom, which he, along with his estranged son Max, restores and trains for a comeback in the ring. Against all odds, Atom rises through the ranks, culminating in a breathtaking (stunning, spectacular, awe-inspiring - ordinary, dull, uninspiring - ngoạn mục) showdown against the world champion, Zeus.>> Form đăng kí giải đề thi thật IELTS 4 kĩ năng kèm bài giải bộ đề 100 đề PART 2 IELTS SPEAKING quý đang thi (update hàng tuần) từ IELTS TUTOR
The reason I chose to watch this film is that I am a huge fan of action-packed, emotionally charged (heart-wrenching, poignant, stirring - emotionless, uninspiring, dull - đầy cảm xúc) movies that also have an element of technological marvel (engineering wonder, futuristic innovation, scientific breakthrough - technological failure, primitive design, outdated technology - kỳ quan công nghệ). The seamless blend (perfect combination, smooth integration, flawless merging - awkward mix, disjointed combination, uneven blend - sự kết hợp nhuần nhuyễn) of realistic CGI and storytelling completely blew me away. Moreover, the father-son bonding experience (family connection, emotional attachment, paternal relationship - alienation, separation, disconnection - sự gắn kết cha con) depicted in the film was genuinely moving, reminding me of the importance of family and perseverance.
Overall, Real Steel is not only an adrenaline-pumping (thrilling, high-energy, action-packed - boring, monotonous, slow-paced - kịch tính) experience but also a heartwarming tale (inspirational story, touching narrative, uplifting account - tragic story, gloomy tale, depressing narrative - câu chuyện ấm áp) that encourages viewers to never back down (keep fighting, stay resilient, push through - give up, surrender, abandon - không bỏ cuộc) no matter how impossible the odds seem.

IV. Part 3
1. What kinds of movies do you think are successful in your country?
Movies that reflect Vietnamese culture tend to be highly successful.
These films often highlight traditional customs, family values, or historical events, providing insightful depictions (mô tả sâu sắc - providing deep understanding or perspectives) of the nation's heritage.
For instance, "The Tailor" gained popularity for showcasing Ao Dai (áo dài - Vietnamese traditional dress) and Vietnamese heritage (di sản - cultural background and traditions).
Additionally, high-octane (tốc độ cao, nhiều hành động - full of excitement and energy) action films with engaging storylines also do well.
They attract younger audiences who enjoy adrenaline-pumping (kích thích adrenaline - causing excitement and intense feeling) scenes and fast-paced narratives.
For example, "Furie" was a blockbuster (bom tấn - a very successful film), blending action with emotional depth (chiều sâu cảm xúc - profound emotional impact).
Overall, these genres cater to both nostalgia (hoài niệm - sentimental longing for the past) and excitement.
As a result, they resonate strongly (có sự cộng hưởng mạnh mẽ - deeply connect emotionally) with the local audience.

Use of as a result to introduce a consequence.
2. Do Vietnamese people prefer to watch domestic movies or foreign movies?
Many Vietnamese people enjoy watching foreign movies for their high production value (giá trị sản xuất cao - high-quality aspects of filmmaking like visual effects, sound, and design).
Hollywood films, in particular, are known for their impressive special effects (hiệu ứng đặc biệt ấn tượng - visually stunning effects in movies) and diverse genres.
For example, blockbuster series (loạt phim bom tấn - very successful series of movies) like "The Avengers" are immensely popular (rất phổ biến - extremely well-liked), drawing huge audiences nationwide.
However, domestic movies (phim nội địa - movies produced within the country) have a growing fan base as well.
These films often tackle relatable social issues (vấn đề xã hội dễ đồng cảm - issues that people can easily relate to) or cultural themes (chủ đề văn hóa - topics related to traditions and customs).
For instance, "Dad, I'm Sorry" resonated with viewers (cộng hưởng với người xem - deeply connected with the audience) by addressing family dynamics and everyday struggles.
Both options provide unique experiences (trải nghiệm độc đáo - one-of-a-kind experiences), depending on individual preferences.
Ultimately, people seek quality entertainment (giải trí chất lượng - enjoyable and well-produced content) regardless of its origin.

3. Do you think only well-known directors can create the best movies?
While well-known directors (đạo diễn nổi tiếng - widely recognized filmmakers) have more experience, great movies are not exclusive to them (không chỉ dành riêng cho họ - not limited to a specific group).
Famous directors often have bigger budgets and access to top-tier talent (tài năng hàng đầu - the best actors and crew in the industry).
For example, Christopher Nolan's films are highly anticipated (được mong đợi nhiều - eagerly awaited) due to his reputation (danh tiếng - public perception of quality).
However, lesser-known directors (đạo diễn ít nổi tiếng - directors who are not well-recognized yet) can also produce exceptional films (phim xuất sắc - outstanding movies).
With fresh perspectives and innovative ideas (ý tưởng sáng tạo - creative and original concepts), they sometimes deliver unexpected hits (thành công bất ngờ - movies that succeed beyond expectations).
For instance, the Vietnamese director Victor Vu gained fame after initially being less recognized (ít được biết đến - not widely known).
Talent and creativity matter more than reputation in filmmaking.
Hence, both seasoned (dày dặn kinh nghiệm - very experienced) and new directors can excel.

Use of hence to indicate a logical conclusion.
4. Why do many movies starring famous actors and actresses fail to achieve good results?
Star power (sức hút của ngôi sao - the ability of celebrities to attract audiences) alone cannot guarantee a movie's success.
Even with big names (tên tuổi lớn - well-known celebrities), a weak storyline (cốt truyện yếu - poorly developed plot) or poor direction (đạo diễn kém - low-quality filmmaking) can ruin the film's overall impact (tổng thể - the general effect on the audience).
For example, some blockbuster flops (bom tấn thất bại - high-budget films that failed to succeed) failed despite having A-list actors (diễn viên hạng A - top-level celebrities).
Additionally, high expectations (kỳ vọng cao - strong belief that something will be excellent) can lead to harsher criticism (chỉ trích gay gắt hơn - more severe judgment).
Audiences may feel disappointed (thất vọng - unhappy with the outcome) if the film doesn't live up to their standards (đạt được kỳ vọng của họ - meet expectations).
An example is when hyped films (phim được quảng bá rầm rộ - heavily promoted movies) like "Cats" faced backlash (phản ứng dữ dội - strong negative reaction) despite a stellar cast (dàn diễn viên xuất sắc - a group of famous and talented actors).
Ultimately, both content (nội dung - storyline and script) and execution (cách thể hiện - the way it is produced and directed) are crucial for success.
A balanced combination (sự kết hợp cân đối - a well-managed mix) is necessary to win over viewers (chinh phục khán giả - gain audience appreciation).
New Vocabulary

big names - well-known celebrities (tên tuổi lớn)

Use of despite to introduce a contrasting fact.
5. Why do people prefer to watch movies in the cinema?
Watching movies in the cinema offers a more immersive experience (trải nghiệm đắm chìm - a deep and engaging experience).
The large screen (màn hình lớn - big display for watching movies) and surround sound (âm thanh vòm - audio that creates a three-dimensional effect) enhance the film's visual and auditory effects (hiệu ứng hình ảnh và âm thanh - sights and sounds of the film).
For instance, action or sci-fi movies feel more thrilling (hồi hộp - exciting and full of suspense) in a theater setting (không gian rạp chiếu phim - the environment of a cinema).
Moreover, cinemas provide a social atmosphere (không khí xã hội - a space for shared experiences with others).
Friends and family can enjoy the shared excitement (sự phấn khích chung - collective enthusiasm) of watching together, making the experience more memorable (đáng nhớ - unforgettable).
For example, attending the premiere (buổi công chiếu - the first official showing of a film) of a highly anticipated film (bộ phim được mong đợi nhiều - a movie eagerly awaited) creates lasting memories (kỷ niệm lâu dài - unforgettable moments).
This combination of superior technology (công nghệ vượt trội - advanced film technology) and communal enjoyment (sự thưởng thức cộng đồng - collective pleasure with others) makes cinemas appealing (thu hút - attractive).
Therefore, the overall experience surpasses (vượt trội - is better than) that of watching at home.
