Today, I would like to tell you about an unexpected situation that forced me to extend my stay in Da Nang, turning what was meant to be a short getaway into an unplanned but memorable experience.

It happened last summer when I embarked on a long-awaited (được mong đợi từ lâu - eagerly anticipated) vacation to Da Nang, a breathtaking coastal (ven biển ngoạn mục - stunningly beautiful and located by the sea) city renowned for its pristine beaches and vibrant nightlife. Initially, I had planned to stay for three days, but due to an unforeseen event, I ended up extending my trip for an extra two days.

The reason behind this sudden change of plans was a freak storm (cơn bão bất thường - an unexpected and severe storm). On the second evening, as I was strolling along My Khe Beach, the sky turned ominously dark, and within minutes, torrential rain and strong winds swept across the city. Flights were either canceled or delayed indefinitely, leaving me with no choice but to find alternative accommodation.>> 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

Since my original hotel was fully booked (đã kín phòng - no rooms available), I had to relocate to a charming boutique hotel (khách sạn nhỏ xinh - a small, stylish hotel with unique decor), which, to my surprise, turned out to be a hidden gem (viên ngọc ẩn giấu - a place or experience that is unexpectedly amazing). The staff were incredibly hospitable, and the cozy ambiance provided a perfect retreat from the stormy weather.

During my prolonged stay (kỳ lưu trú kéo dài - an extended period of staying in a place), I made the most of my time by exploring the city’s culinary delights (tinh hoa ẩm thực - the best and most delicious food a place has to offer), indulging in some of the freshest seafood and mouthwatering local dishes. I also visited the lesser-known attractions (các điểm du lịch ít được biết đến - places that are not as famous but still worth visiting), such as the Marble Mountains and some quaint coffee shops tucked away in small alleys.

In hindsight, this experience was a blessing in disguise (trong cái rủi có cái may - an apparent misfortune that eventually brings positive outcomes). Although I initially felt distressed (lo lắng - anxious and upset) about the inconvenience, I gradually came to appreciate the extra time I had to immerse myself in the city’s charm. More importantly, I learned the value of adaptability and spontaneity (khả năng thích ứng và sự tự phát - being able to adjust and embrace unexpected changes), realizing that the best memories often stem from unplanned adventures.

What are some good ways to manage time?

One effective way to manage time is through prioritization techniques (kỹ thuật ưu tiên – strategies to identify and complete the most important tasks first), which help individuals focus on essential responsibilities. For instance, using the Eisenhower Matrix (Ma trận Eisenhower – a time-management tool that categorizes tasks based on urgency and importance) allows people to distinguish between urgent and non-urgent tasks, ensuring productivity. Additionally, time-blocking methods (phương pháp phân bổ thời gian – allocating specific time slots for tasks) help prevent procrastination and improve efficiency.

Another key approach is setting realistic deadlines (hạn chót thực tế – achievable time limits for completing tasks), which prevent last-minute stress and ensure steady progress. Many professionals use task-tracking applications (ứng dụng theo dõi nhiệm vụ – digital tools that monitor progress on tasks), such as Trello or Notion, to stay organized and accountable. Moreover, incorporating buffer time (thời gian dự phòng – extra time allocated for unexpected delays) can be beneficial for handling unforeseen interruptions. Without proper time management, individuals may struggle with chronic procrastination (sự trì hoãn mãn tính – habitually delaying tasks), leading to decreased productivity and missed opportunities.

1. Prioritization techniques – kỹ thuật ưu tiên
2. Eisenhower Matrix – Ma trận Eisenhower
3. Time-blocking methods – phương pháp phân bổ thời gian
4. Realistic deadlines – hạn chót thực tế

How important is planning before traveling?

Planning ahead is crucial because it helps maximize travel efficiency (tối đa hóa hiệu quả du lịch – making the most out of time and resources during a trip), ensuring that travelers can experience key attractions without unnecessary stress. For example, detailed itineraries (lịch trình chi tiết – well-organized schedules outlining activities during a trip) allow people to visit multiple locations in a limited timeframe. Additionally, advance reservations (đặt trước – pre-booking hotels, flights, or tickets) can help avoid last-minute price surges and availability issues.

Moreover, planning prevents unexpected setbacks (trở ngại bất ngờ – unforeseen problems that disrupt plans), such as canceled flights or fully booked accommodations. Travelers who fail to research their destinations may encounter logistical nightmares (vấn đề hậu cần nghiêm trọng – major difficulties in organizing transportation and lodging), leading to wasted time and frustration. Furthermore, understanding cultural norms and local regulations (quy tắc văn hóa và quy định địa phương – the traditions and laws of a travel destination) can prevent unintentional offenses or legal troubles. Without proper preparation, trips may become chaotic and less enjoyable.

New Vocabulary:

1. Maximize travel efficiency – tối đa hóa hiệu quả du lịch
2. Detailed itineraries – lịch trình chi tiết
3. Advance reservations – đặt trước
4. Unexpected setbacks – trở ngại bất ngờ
5. Logistical nightmares – vấn đề hậu cần nghiêm trọng
6. Cultural norms and local regulations – quy tắc văn hóa và quy định địa phương

2. Complex Sentence with Cause and Effect: IELTS TUTOR xét ví dụ: "Because advance reservations reduce last-minute stress, they are highly recommended for international travelers." (Vì việc đặt trước giúp giảm căng thẳng vào phút cuối, nên chúng được khuyến khích mạnh mẽ đối với du khách quốc tế.)

Do trips always go as planned?

Trips rarely go exactly as planned due to unforeseen circumstances (tình huống không lường trước – unexpected events that disrupt travel plans), such as bad weather or sudden cancellations. Even with careful preparation, factors like delayed flights (chuyến bay bị hoãn – flights that take off later than scheduled) or road closures can force travelers to adjust their schedules. For instance, tourists visiting coastal destinations might have to cancel island-hopping tours due to heavy storms.

Another reason why travel plans change is due to last-minute opportunities (cơ hội vào phút cuối – unexpected chances to experience new things), which can make the trip more exciting. Some people stumble upon off-the-beaten-path experiences (trải nghiệm ngoài lộ trình thông thường – unique and lesser-known attractions), such as hidden cafés or local festivals, leading them to modify their itineraries. Although changes can sometimes be inconvenient, they often result in serendipitous discoveries (phát hiện may mắn – finding something valuable by chance), enriching the overall travel experience.

New Vocabulary:

1. Unforeseen circumstances – tình huống không lường trước
2. Delayed flights – chuyến bay bị hoãn
3. Last-minute opportunities – cơ hội vào phút cuối
4. Off-the-beaten-path experiences – trải nghiệm ngoài lộ trình thông thường

2. Passive Voice: IELTS TUTOR xét ví dụ: "Many flights were delayed due to adverse weather conditions." (Nhiều chuyến bay đã bị hoãn do điều kiện thời tiết bất lợi.)
