Describe a person you know who shows their feelings openly

You should say:

• Who this person is
• How well you know this person
• How you feel about this person

And explain why you think this person shows their feelings so openly.

Today, I would like to tell you about my straight-talking (thẳng thắn, không vòng vo – someone who speaks directly and honestly without sugarcoating things) auntie, who is one of the most forthright (thẳng thắn, bộc trực – expressing opinions directly and clearly) people I know. She is my mother’s elder sister, and I have been close to her since childhood.

From a very young age, I noticed that she never holds back her emotions. Whether she is elated (vô cùng vui sướng – extremely happy and excited) or exasperated (bực bội, tức giận – feeling annoyed or frustrated), she makes it crystal clear (rõ ràng, dễ hiểu – extremely obvious and easy to understand) to everyone around her. For instance, if she’s proud of me, she will shower me with praise, but if she disapproves of something I do, she won’t hesitate to call me out. Some may find her brutally honest (thành thật đến mức gây tổn thương – being honest in a way that might hurt others) nature a bit too much to handle, but I actually admire her transparency.

One reason she is so emotionally expressive is that she believes in wearing her heart on her sleeve (bộc lộ cảm xúc một cách rõ ràng – showing emotions openly instead of hiding them). She often says that bottling up emotions can be unhealthy, so she prefers to let people know exactly how she feels. Moreover, her outspoken (thẳng thắn, sẵn sàng nói ra suy nghĩ của mình – speaking one's mind without fear) nature makes her an excellent problem-solver, as she never shies away from addressing issues head-on.

Despite her no-nonsense (thực tế, không vòng vo – practical and direct) personality, she is also one of the most compassionate (đầy lòng trắc ẩn – showing deep care and concern for others) people I know. She may be direct, but her words always come from a place of love. That’s why, even though she can be a bit blunt (nói thẳng, không màng đến cảm xúc người khác – speaking in a direct and sometimes rude way), everyone in the family respects her.

To sum up, my auntie is someone who never hides her emotions, and while her frankness (tính thẳng thắn – the quality of being open and honest) might be intimidating to some, I find it truly refreshing.

1. How do people often show their feelings?

People generally express their emotions in two distinct ways: by openly displaying them or by keeping them bottled up. Expressive individuals (người có xu hướng bộc lộ cảm xúc – people who openly share their emotions) tend to wear their hearts on their sleeves (bộc lộ cảm xúc một cách rõ ràng – show emotions openly), making it easy for others to understand how they feel. They may show joy through beaming smiles (nụ cười rạng rỡ – broad and radiant smiles) or frustration through furrowed brows (lông mày nhíu lại – a facial expression indicating concern or displeasure). For example, an outgoing (hòa đồng, dễ gần – sociable and friendly) person might laugh loudly when excited or cry openly when upset.

On the other hand, some people choose to bottle up their emotions (giữ cảm xúc trong lòng – suppress their feelings instead of expressing them), which can make them appear stoic (trầm lặng, kiên cường – not showing emotions even in difficult situations). They may feel uncomfortable showing vulnerability and prefer to mask their true feelings (che giấu cảm xúc thật – hide their emotions from others). For instance, a person experiencing sadness may simply put on a brave face (tỏ ra mạnh mẽ – pretend to be fine despite struggling inside) rather than confiding in others.

2. How do people know others' feelings if they hide them?

Even when people try to conceal their emotions, there are subtle cues that reveal how they truly feel. One way is through non-verbal communication (giao tiếp phi ngôn ngữ – conveying messages without spoken words), which includes microexpressions (biểu cảm thoáng qua – very brief facial expressions that reveal true emotions) and body language (ngôn ngữ cơ thể – gestures and postures that express feelings). For instance, someone suppressing anger might still clench their fists or avoid eye contact.

Another indicator is vocal tone and speech patterns (tông giọng và cách nói – the way someone speaks, revealing their emotions), as emotions often affect how people communicate. Even if a person claims to be fine, a quivering voice (giọng run – shaky voice indicating nervousness or sadness) or hesitant speech (lời nói ngập ngừng – speech filled with pauses or uncertainty) may suggest otherwise. A classic example is when a friend insists they are “okay” but speak in a melancholy (u sầu, ủ rũ – feeling of sadness and gloom) tone, hinting that something is wrong.

3. What are the (dis)advantages of hiding one’s feelings?

Suppressing emotions can be beneficial in certain circumstances. One advantage is that it helps people maintain composure (sự bình tĩnh – ability to stay calm under pressure), especially in professional or social settings. For instance, a teacher dealing with a difficult student must remain level-headed (bình tĩnh, điềm đạm – staying calm without emotional outbursts), as expressing frustration could escalate the situation. Additionally, hiding emotions prevents people from appearing overly vulnerable, which can be useful in competitive environments like business negotiations.

However, repressing emotions for too long can lead to emotional distress (sự đau khổ về mặt cảm xúc – mental strain caused by unexpressed feelings) and even physical health problems. People who constantly suppress anger or sadness may experience heightened stress levels (mức độ căng thẳng gia tăng – increased anxiety due to unaddressed emotions), leading to issues such as insomnia or high blood pressure. For example, studies have shown that individuals who habitually bottle up emotions are more prone to anxiety and depression.

4. How do others feel when someone openly expresses emotions?

People generally appreciate emotional transparency, as it fosters genuine connections (mối quan hệ chân thành – deep and authentic relationships). When someone openly shares their emotions, it allows others to understand them better and offer support when needed. For instance, a person expressing happiness through laughter creates a contagious positive atmosphere (bầu không khí tích cực lây lan – uplifting environment that spreads to others), making social interactions more enjoyable.>> 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

That said, excessive emotional expression can sometimes be overwhelming or even uncomfortable for those around them. If someone constantly vents their frustrations (trút giận – express negative emotions in an intense way), it may create tension in relationships. For example, a friend who frequently complains about personal problems may unintentionally drain others emotionally (làm cạn kiệt cảm xúc của người khác – cause others to feel emotionally exhausted). Therefore, while emotional openness is valued, maintaining balance is key.

5. Do you think people will feel the same as you?

People’s emotional responses vary depending on their personalities and cultural backgrounds. In individualistic societies, where self-expression (sự thể hiện bản thân – the act of showing one's emotions and thoughts openly) is encouraged, people may appreciate direct emotional displays. For instance, in Western cultures, individuals often feel comfortable sharing their feelings freely without fear of judgment.

Conversely, in collectivist cultures, emotional restraint is often valued, and people may feel uneasy when others express emotions too openly. In many Asian cultures, maintaining emotional equilibrium (sự cân bằng cảm xúc – the state of keeping emotions in check) is seen as a sign of maturity. For example, in Japan, public emotional outbursts are considered inappropriate, and people are expected to remain composed in most situations.
