Today, I would like to tell you about a memorable (đáng nhớ – unforgettable, remarkable, notable) day when I had a spontaneous getaway (chuyến đi ngẫu hứng – an unplanned short trip, an impromptu excursion, an unscheduled journey) that gave me a much-needed break from my hectic schedule.

It happened a couple of months ago, right after I had wrapped up a series of grueling (mệt mỏi, khó khăn – exhausting, demanding, arduous) assignments and exams. Feeling utterly drained, I decided to seize the opportunity (nắm bắt cơ hội – take advantage of, make the most of, capitalize on) when my university unexpectedly announced a day off due to a technical issue. Rather than staying at home and lazing around (thư giãn một cách lười biếng – lounging, idling, loafing), I called up my best friend, and we opted for a scenic countryside retreat (chuyến đi nghỉ dưỡng về vùng quê có cảnh đẹp – picturesque rural escape, charming countryside getaway, tranquil rural excursion).>> 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

We took a short drive to a quaint (cổ kính, độc đáo – charmingly old-fashioned, picturesque, unique) village on the outskirts of the city, which is renowned for its lush greenery (cảnh quan xanh tươi – verdant landscape, rich foliage, abundant vegetation) and pristine (tinh khôi, nguyên sơ – unspoiled, untouched, immaculate) lakes. The moment we arrived, I could feel a wave of serenity (sự thanh thản – tranquility, peacefulness, calmness) washing over me. We spent the entire day soaking up (thưởng thức, tận hưởng – enjoying, relishing, basking in) the fresh air, meandering (đi dạo một cách thong thả – wandering, strolling, rambling) through winding paths, and indulging in mouthwatering (ngon chảy nước miếng – delicious, scrumptious, delectable) local delicacies.

The free time lasted for just one day, but it was exactly what I needed to recharge my batteries (nạp lại năng lượng – rejuvenate, regain energy, refresh myself). The breathtaking scenery (cảnh đẹp đến ngỡ ngàng – stunning view, magnificent landscape, awe-inspiring sights) and the laid-back atmosphere helped me unwind completely. What made the day even more special was the quality time (thời gian ý nghĩa – meaningful moments, valuable time, cherished time) I got to spend with my best friend, as we reminisced about our childhood and shared hearty laughter.

Looking back, that day was a godsend (món quà trời ban – blessing, lifesaver, stroke of luck) in the midst of my chaotic life. It not only allowed me to momentarily (tạm thời – briefly, fleetingly, for a short while) escape from my academic responsibilities but also reinforced the importance of work-life balance (sự cân bằng giữa công việc và cuộc sống – equilibrium between work and personal life, healthy lifestyle balance, personal-professional balance). From that experience, I have learned to appreciate the beauty of slowing down and embracing the present moment.

1. What do people usually do in their leisure time?

People usually engage in recreational activities (hoạt động giải trí - activities done for enjoyment and relaxation) to unwind after a long day at work or school. Outdoor pursuits (hoạt động ngoài trời - activities done in open spaces, such as hiking or cycling) like hiking or jogging help people stay fit and mentally refreshed. For example, many young professionals take weekend hikes to escape the hustle and bustle (sự ồn ào, náo nhiệt - busy and noisy activity of a city or place) of city life. On the other hand, some prefer indoor pastimes like reading, gaming, or watching movies, which allow them to decompress (giải tỏa căng thẳng - to relax and reduce stress) at home. Additionally, engaging in creative outlets (các hoạt động sáng tạo - activities like painting, writing, or playing music to express oneself) can be highly rewarding, fostering a sense of accomplishment. For instance, many people turn to painting or playing musical instruments to channel their emotions productively. Ultimately, how people spend their free time depends on their personality, lifestyle, and available resources.>> 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

2. Do you think people have enough leisure time nowadays?

In today’s fast-paced society, many people struggle to find ample free time (đủ thời gian rảnh - sufficient leisure time for relaxation or personal activities) due to their demanding work schedules. With the rising cost of living, professionals often work long, grueling hours (những giờ làm việc dài và mệt mỏi - extended and exhausting working hours) to make ends meet, leaving little time for leisure. For example, in many Asian countries, employees frequently work overtime, which negatively impacts their work-life balance. Additionally, technological advancements have blurred the boundary between work and personal life, making it harder for individuals to disconnect from work (ngừng nghĩ về công việc - to stop engaging with work responsibilities) even during their free time. A case in point is remote workers who remain glued to their devices, constantly checking emails or attending virtual meetings, even on weekends. As a result, many people experience burnout (sự kiệt sức - extreme exhaustion caused by overwork), which affects their overall well-being and productivity.

3. What are the negative effects of lacking leisure time on families?

A lack of free time can exacerbate (làm trầm trọng thêm - to make a problem or bad situation worse) the generational gap (khoảng cách thế hệ - differences in attitudes or behavior between younger and older generations) within families. Since young adults often have hectic work schedules (lịch trình làm việc bận rộn - extremely busy and full of activities), they rarely have quality time to bond with their elders. For instance, many parents work long hours, leaving their children to spend more time with gadgets than with family members, which leads to emotional detachment. Moreover, limited leisure time can weaken family cohesion (sự gắn kết gia đình - the emotional closeness and strong bonds among family members) as members become increasingly preoccupied with their individual lives. A striking example is how, in many modern households, family dinners—once a cornerstone of family bonding—have become a rarity due to conflicting schedules. If this trend continues, families may face irreparable (không thể khắc phục được - impossible to fix or restore) emotional distance, affecting the overall well-being of each member.
