IELTS TUTOR gợi ý bài tham khảo:
Today, I would like to tell you about my grandfather, who has an unwavering passion /ʌnˈweɪ.vər.ɪŋ ˈpæʃ.ən/ (niềm đam mê không thay đổi - strong and constant passion) for growing plants. I have spent my entire childhood in his loving embrace /ˈlʌv.ɪŋ ɪmˈbreɪs/ (vòng tay yêu thương - a comforting and affectionate hug), and his garden has always been a sanctuary of greenery /ˈsæŋk.tʃʊ.er.i əv ˈɡriːn.ə.ri/ (thiên đường xanh - a peaceful place filled with plants and trees). He began this fulfilling hobby /fʊlˈfɪl.ɪŋ ˈhɒb.i/ (thú vui mang lại sự thỏa mãn - an activity that brings a sense of accomplishment) after his retirement, and I must say, his dedication is truly admirable /ˈæd.mɪ.rə.bəl/ (đáng ngưỡng mộ - deserving respect and approval).
His house boasts /bəʊsts/ (tự hào có - to have something that is impressive) a spacious backyard /ˈspeɪ.ʃəs ˈbæk.jɑːd/ (sân sau rộng rãi - a large outdoor area behind the house), which provides plenty of open space to cultivate /ˈkʌl.tɪ.veɪt/ (trồng trọt - to grow and care for plants) a wide variety of plants. He initially started with flowers like roses and jasmine /ˈræʊ.zɪz ænd ˈdʒæz.mɪn/ (hoa hồng và hoa nhài), adding color and fragrance to the garden. Over time, he expanded his collection to include fruit trees like apples, oranges, and pomegranates /ˈæp.əlz, ˈɒr.ɪndʒɪz, ænd ˈpɒm.ɪˌɡræn.ɪts/ (táo, cam, và lựu), which not only beautify his garden but also offer fresh produce for the family.>> 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
One of the main reasons my grandfather is so passionate about gardening is his strong belief in the value of fresh, organic produce. He often mentions that food straight from the garden is far superior /fɑːr suːˈpɪə.ri.ər/ (tốt hơn nhiều - significantly better) to the vegetables and fruits available in the markets, which are usually laden with pesticides /ˈpes.tɪ.saɪdz/ (thuốc trừ sâu - chemicals used to kill pests) and harmful chemicals. Although organic produce is available, its exorbitant prices /ɪɡˈzɔː.bɪ.tənt ˈpraɪ.sɪz/ (giá cả quá đắt đỏ - excessively high costs) often discourage him from buying them, which is why he prefers growing his own vegetables and fruits.
Besides the personal benefits, he also nurtures plants out of sheer concern for the environment. He believes that planting more trees is a sustainable solution /səˈsteɪ.nə.bəl səˈluː.ʃən/ (giải pháp bền vững - a method that can be maintained over the long term without harming the environment) to combat pollution spread by industries and vehicles. His efforts to spread awareness /spred əˈweə.nəs/ (nâng cao nhận thức - increase knowledge or understanding) about tree plantation are truly commendable /kəˈmen.də.bəl/ (đáng khen ngợi - deserving praise).
Overall, his passion for gardening is not just a hobby but a way to live a healthier and more environmentally conscious life. I deeply admire his dedication and hope to follow in his footsteps someday.

IV. Part 3
Are there many people growing their own vegetables now?
In recent years, there has been a noticeable resurgence (sự trỗi dậy mạnh mẽ; a revival or growth after a period of little activity) of people growing their own vegetables. This trend is primarily driven by the desire for self-sufficiency (tự cung tự cấp; the ability to provide for one's own needs without external assistance) and concerns about food quality and safety. For instance, with rising awareness of chemical pesticides, many urban residents have started creating rooftop gardens (vườn trên sân thượng; small gardens on the roofs of buildings) to cultivate organic vegetables. Additionally, the popularity of community gardens (vườn cộng đồng; shared spaces where people grow plants and vegetables) has surged in metropolitan areas, allowing people to reconnect with nature (kết nối lại với thiên nhiên; regain contact with natural surroundings). Another contributing factor is the rise of eco-consciousness (ý thức bảo vệ môi trường; awareness and concern for the environment), which encourages sustainable living. For example, families who engage in urban farming (nông nghiệp đô thị; small-scale farming in urban settings) not only reduce their carbon footprint but also promote healthier eating habits. Given these motivations, it is evident that more people are embracing vegetable gardening as part of a sustainable lifestyle.

Do you think it’s good to let kids learn how to plant?
Absolutely, I believe it is incredibly beneficial (có lợi; advantageous or helpful) for children to learn how to plant. Firstly, this activity teaches them about responsibility (trách nhiệm; the state of being accountable for something), as they have to care for their plants consistently. For example, watering and monitoring growth require patience and dedication, which can foster a sense of commitment in children. Additionally, learning how to plant helps kids understand the life cycle of plants (chu kỳ sống của cây; the stages of growth from seed to maturity), which promotes an appreciation for nature. Furthermore, gardening encourages hands-on learning (học thông qua thực hành; learning through physical activity rather than theoretical lessons), which is particularly effective for young learners. For instance, observing how sunlight and water impact plant growth can enhance their knowledge of biology. Overall, allowing children to plant nurtures both their sense of environmental stewardship (ý thức bảo vệ môi trường; the responsibility for managing and protecting the environment) and practical life skills.

What do you think of the job as a farmer?
I think the job of a farmer is both challenging (thách thức; demanding great effort and determination) and rewarding (đáng giá; providing satisfaction or benefit). Firstly, farmers have to endure various weather conditions (điều kiện thời tiết; different types of weather, such as rain, drought, or storms) and work long hours to cultivate their crops. For example, during the harvest season, they often wake up before dawn and labor until late evening. However, despite these difficulties, farming is incredibly fulfilling (mang lại cảm giác hài lòng; providing a sense of satisfaction and achievement), as they get to see the fruits of their labor (thành quả lao động; the result or product of hard work) grow and nourish communities. Moreover, farmers contribute significantly to food security (an ninh lương thực; the availability and accessibility of food to people), ensuring that people have access to fresh produce. In my view, although farming is demanding, its intrinsic value (giá trị nội tại; the inherent worth or importance of something) makes it a highly respectable profession.
New Vocabulary:
challenging (thách thức): demanding great effort and determination
rewarding (đáng giá): providing satisfaction or benefit
weather conditions (điều kiện thời tiết): different types of weather, such as rain, drought, or storms

What are the differences between traditional and modern agriculture?
Traditional and modern agriculture differ significantly in terms of techniques (kỹ thuật; methods or procedures used to achieve a specific result) and efficiency (hiệu quả; the ability to produce results with minimum waste). Traditional farming relies on manual labor (lao động thủ công; physical work done by hand) and basic tools, whereas modern agriculture utilizes cutting-edge technology (công nghệ tiên tiến; the latest and most advanced technology) such as automated machines and drones. For instance, many modern farms now use precision agriculture (nông nghiệp chính xác; farming management based on observing, measuring, and responding to variability in crops) to optimize water usage and maximize crop yields. Additionally, traditional methods often focus on subsistence farming (nông nghiệp tự cung tự cấp; producing just enough for one's family), while modern farming is geared toward large-scale production (sản xuất quy mô lớn; producing large quantities of crops for commercial purposes). This shift has made agriculture more productive but also more dependent on technology and chemicals. Despite the technological advancements (tiến bộ công nghệ; improvements or innovations in technology), some people still value traditional methods for their sustainability (tính bền vững; the ability to maintain ecological balance).
New Vocabulary:
techniques (kỹ thuật): methods or procedures used to achieve a specific result
efficiency (hiệu quả): the ability to produce results with minimum waste
manual labor (lao động thủ công): physical work done by hand
cutting-edge technology (công nghệ tiên tiến): the latest and most advanced technology

sustainability (tính bền vững): the ability to maintain ecological balance
What are the advantages and disadvantages of organic farming?
Organic farming offers several noteworthy (đáng chú ý; deserving attention because of being important or interesting) advantages, but it also comes with certain drawbacks (hạn chế; disadvantages or problems that come with something). On the positive side, organic farming promotes sustainable agriculture (nông nghiệp bền vững; farming that maintains ecological balance and avoids depletion of natural resources), as it avoids synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilizers. For example, farmers use compost (phân hữu cơ; decayed organic material used as fertilizer) and crop rotation (luân canh; the practice of growing different types of crops in the same area in sequenced seasons) to maintain soil fertility and reduce pest infestations. Moreover, organic produce is often considered healthier and safer (lành mạnh và an toàn hơn; less exposed to chemicals and artificial additives), appealing to consumers who prioritize well-being (sự khỏe mạnh; the state of being comfortable, healthy, and happy). However, organic farming has its limitations, such as lower yields (năng suất thấp hơn; less production compared to conventional methods), which can make organic products more expensive. Additionally, organic methods require more labor-intensive (tốn nhiều lao động; demanding a lot of physical work) practices, leading to higher costs for farmers. Overall, while organic farming is environmentally friendly, its cost and labor demands can be challenging.

What challenges do farmers face today?
Farmers today encounter numerous obstacles (trở ngại; difficulties or barriers that make progress harder), many of which are linked to climate change (biến đổi khí hậu; long-term shifts in temperature and weather patterns). One major challenge is the unpredictability (sự khó lường; the inability to foresee changes or outcomes) of weather patterns, which can devastate crops. For instance, unexpected droughts or floods can result in massive crop failures (mất mùa lớn; significant loss of agricultural production), impacting farmers' livelihoods. Additionally, farmers struggle with market fluctuations (biến động thị trường; unpredictable changes in the market that affect prices), which can make it difficult to predict profits. Furthermore, the increasing costs of farm equipment (thiết bị nông nghiệp; machinery and tools used for farming) and fertilizers place additional financial strain on small-scale farmers. To combat these issues, some are turning to smart farming technologies (công nghệ nông nghiệp thông minh; advanced tools and systems used to enhance farming efficiency), although the initial investment can be prohibitively high. Ultimately, while technology offers solutions, the vulnerabilities (sự dễ bị tổn thương; weaknesses that make one susceptible to damage or loss) of farming remain a significant concern.
