Today, I would like to tell you about a tough decision I had to make several months ago. It was the first time I had been caught in a real dilemma (tình thế khó xử) when deciding whether to study abroad or stay in my home country for university.

It all started during dinner with my parents when they casually brought up the topic of my future. They informed me that they were ready to cover the expenses of studying abroad if that was what I genuinely wanted. At first, I was on cloud nine (vô cùng hạnh phúc), feeling thrilled about the opportunity. However, as time passed, I began agonizing over (lo lắng, suy nghĩ nhiều về) the decision.>> 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 first challenge I faced was the fear of suffering the consequences (chịu hậu quả) of making the wrong choice. It felt like my future was at stake (bị đe dọa). To ease my anxiety, I decided to consult my friends, asking them, "What would you do if you were in my shoes?" Their advice was insightful, but it didn’t bring me closer to a final decision. I also made a list of pros and cons (ưu và nhược điểm) and analyzed all the ‘what-ifs’ (các khả năng có thể xảy ra), which only made me more confused.

Another factor that complicated my decision was the uncertainty surrounding the current situation (tình hình hiện tại) with COVID-19. It was hard to wrap my head around (hiểu hoặc hình dung) what living abroad during a pandemic would be like. I even spent hours reading articles about studying abroad, trying to find out (tìm ra) what other students had to say about their experiences.

In the end, I chose to stay and study locally. While it wasn’t an easy decision, I realized that the most important thing was not the location but my dedication to achieving my goals. This decision taught me to weigh my options carefully (cân nhắc kỹ lưỡng) and trust my instincts.

1. Do you think advertisements can influence our decisions when shopping?

Yes, advertisements can significantly impact our choices when making purchases. One reason is that they often use persuasive techniques like catchy slogans and appealing visuals to entice customers into buying their products. For example, a well-designed ad for a new smartphone can create a sense of urgency, making people feel they need to buy it immediately to stay updated with the latest technology. On top of that, advertisements frequently highlight discounts and limited-time offers, which can lead to impulse buying. For instance, during Black Friday sales, people often buy items they don’t actually need simply because the deals seem too good to miss. By leveraging these tactics, advertisements can play a huge role in shaping consumer behavior.>> IELTS TUTOR có hướng dẫn kĩ PHÂN TÍCH ĐỀ THI THẬT TASK 2 (dạng advantages & disadvantages) NGÀY 04/8/2020 IELTS WRITING GENERAL MÁY TÍNH (kèm bài được sửa hs đi thi)

2. What important decisions do teenagers need to make after graduation?

Teenagers face several crucial decisions after finishing their studies. The first major choice is whether to pursue higher education or enter the workforce. This decision depends on their long-term career goals and financial situation. For example, students aspiring to become doctors might choose to attend medical school, while others who want to start earning immediately might opt for vocational training. Another significant decision is selecting a field of study or career path, as this can shape their future prospects. Teenagers must carefully consider their interests and abilities before committing to a specific course or job. For instance, a student passionate about technology might decide to enroll in a computer science program, while someone more creative could explore careers in design or the arts.

New Vocabulary:

  • Aspiring to: Having strong ambitions or goals to achieve something (Khao khát đạt được điều gì đó).
  • Vocational training: Education focused on learning skills for a specific trade or job (Đào tạo nghề).
  • Field of study: An area of academic or professional focus (Ngành học).

  • Committing to: Making a firm decision to dedicate oneself to something (Cam kết).

Idiom:

  • At a crossroads: Facing a crucial decision in life (Đứng trước ngã rẽ). IELTS TUTOR xét ví dụ: After high school, many teenagers feel they are at a crossroads.

3. How do people make important decisions?

People usually follow a systematic approach when making significant choices. The first step is to weigh the pros and cons of each option to ensure they make an informed decision. For example, someone deciding whether to move to a new city for work might consider factors like salary, job satisfaction, and lifestyle changes. Furthermore, many people seek advice from trusted friends or family members to gain different perspectives. For instance, consulting a mentor or elder can provide insights and help avoid potential mistakes. By combining careful evaluation and external input, individuals are more likely to make choices that lead to positive outcomes.

New Vocabulary:

  • Systematic approach: A methodical and organized way of doing something (Cách tiếp cận có hệ thống).
  • Weigh the pros and cons: To consider the advantages and disadvantages (Cân nhắc ưu và nhược điểm).
  • Informed decision: A choice made with a full understanding of the consequences (Quyết định sáng suốt).
  • Trusted: Reliable or dependable (Đáng tin cậy).
  • External input: Opinions or advice from others outside oneself (Ý kiến từ bên ngoài).

Phrasal Verb:

  • Take into account: To consider something before making a decision (Cân nhắc). IELTS TUTOR xét ví dụ: Before accepting a job offer, it’s important to take into account the cost of living in the new location.
