- Introduction + Câu hỏi 1: where the animal comes from
- Well, the wild animal that I will describe is the national treasure of Australia, the koala, which is a kind of bear >> IELTS TUTOR hướng dẫn Cách dùng danh từ "encounter" tiếng anh
- Câu hỏi 2: when you saw this animal
- Honestly, I have never had a chance to meet one of them, so currently all of my understanding of these lovable animals is from TV programmes. Personally, I believe that one day, I will see it in person
- Câu hỏi 3: what the animal looks like
- Basically, they have a charmingly naive appearance. I fancy koalas simply because they are cute-looking with large ears and sleek fur >> IELTS TUTOR hướng dẫn Cách diễn đạt "xuất phát từ, dựa vào"
- Câu hỏi 4: why you want to talk about it
- I love koalas for a number of reasons
- To begin with, they are so special with interesting attributes. In fact, I found that the koala is one of the few mammals that has fingerprints, which is totally distinct from other animals. From what I can remember, they seem to be sleepy all the time and respond slowly to the outside environment. So, if I have a chance to see them, I will definitely test how long it takes for a koala to respond when I touch it. I also heard from somewhere that koalas only like eating the tasty but poisonous leaves from one particular indigenous tree, and koalas are the only creature alleged to digest and absorb them >> IELTS TUTOR hướng dẫn Cách dùng động từ "ensure" tiếng anh
- More importantly, the koala is the symbol of Australia when they are such fascinating creatures and only found on the Australian continent. So, the most possible way to see them is to fly to this beautiful country
- I love koalas for a number of reasons
IELTS TUTOR gợi ý bài tham khảo:
Today, I would like to tell you about a fascinating wild animal, the koala (gấu túi – a tree-dwelling marsupial native to Australia), which is often regarded as a national treasure (quốc bảo – something considered highly valuable and symbolic for a nation) of Australia. This animal has long captured my imagination because of its unique biological traits and adorable appearance.
To begin with, koalas are exclusively found in Australia, primarily inhabiting eucalyptus forests along the eastern and southern coasts. Their indigenous habitat (môi trường sống bản địa – the natural environment where a species originally exists) makes them truly special, as they are endemic species (loài đặc hữu – species restricted to a specific region) that cannot naturally thrive elsewhere. This geographical limitation highlights their vulnerability and importance in biodiversity conservation.
In terms of personal experience, I must admit that I have never had a first-hand encounter (trải nghiệm trực tiếp – personal experience of meeting or seeing something in real life) with this animal. All of my knowledge about koalas so far comes from documentaries and nature programs. However, I am genuinely eager to travel to Australia someday and observe them in their natural habitat (môi trường sống tự nhiên – the place where animals normally live) rather than in captivity. I think seeing them in the wild would be far more awe-inspiring (truyền cảm hứng mạnh mẽ – causing admiration and wonder).>> tham khảo CẦN VIẾT & THU ÂM BAO NHIÊU BÀI ĐỂ ĐẠT 8.0 SPEAKING & 7.0 WRITING?
Appearance-wise, koalas are irresistibly cute. They possess plush fur (bộ lông mềm mượt – soft and smooth hair of animals), a round face, and oversized ears (đôi tai to – disproportionately large ears compared to their head), giving them a childlike innocence (vẻ ngây thơ như trẻ nhỏ – an appearance that looks pure and naive). What makes them even more intriguing is their slow lifestyle; koalas spend up to 20 hours a day sleeping due to their low-energy diet of eucalyptus leaves. This behavior makes them look almost like living plush toys (đồ chơi nhồi bông sống – animals resembling stuffed toys in real life).
The main reason I want to talk about koalas is because they symbolize more than just wildlife. For me, they represent Australia’s distinctive identity (bản sắc độc đáo – unique cultural or natural character) and highlight the importance of protecting endangered animals. I find it astonishing that koalas have fingerprints (dấu vân tay – unique patterns on fingertips) almost identical to those of humans, which shows how surprisingly complex and diverse nature can be.
In short, the koala is not just an adorable animal; it’s a cultural emblem (biểu tượng văn hóa – a symbol representing national pride and heritage) and a reminder of the fragile balance of our ecosystem. If I ever get the chance to see one in real life, it would definitely be a once-in-a-lifetime experience (trải nghiệm có một không hai – something very rare and memorable).

IV. Part 3.
1. How can people find their way when they are lost?
I think the most common way nowadays is by relying on digital navigation (định vị kỹ thuật số – electronic systems that guide people using GPS), since smartphones are almost universally available. This tool is not only user-friendly (thân thiện với người dùng – easy to operate and understand) but also provides real-time updates, which help people avoid dead ends or unsafe areas. For instance, I once got lost in a labyrinthine street (đường phố ngoằn ngoèo – very complicated and confusing) in Hanoi, but Google Maps quickly redirected me. Another way is by seeking local guidance (hỏi thăm dân địa phương – asking for directions from people familiar with the place), which is often more reliable in remote areas where the Internet connection is weak. People, especially travelers, usually find that locals give directions based on landmarks rather than exact distances. For example, in rural Vietnam, villagers often say, “Turn left at the big banyan tree,” which is more practical. Overall, technology and human interaction complement each other in helping people get back on track. Personally, I feel that asking locals sometimes gives you cultural insight that apps cannot provide.
2. Do you think that children should be taught to read paper maps at school?
Yes, I believe cartographic literacy (hiểu biết bản đồ – the ability to read and interpret maps) is a valuable skill that children should develop. First, it nurtures spatial awareness (nhận thức không gian – understanding of how objects are arranged in space), which is important not only in geography but also in everyday life. For instance, students who can read maps often perform better in outdoor activities like hiking or orienteering. Secondly, paper maps build problem-solving resilience (khả năng kiên cường giải quyết vấn đề – the ability to deal with difficulties independently) when technology fails. Imagine a scenario where a child is camping and their phone battery dies; being able to use a paper map could literally be life-saving. Besides, it helps children appreciate traditional skills that are being overshadowed by modern technology. In my opinion, schools should balance digital map tools with old-fashioned methods. That way, students won’t become overly dependent (quá phụ thuộc – relying too much on something) on their smartphones.
3. Are paper maps still necessary?
In my view, paper maps are still necessary, though their role has changed significantly. First, they act as a reliable backup (dự phòng đáng tin cậy – something dependable in case of failure) when digital tools are unavailable. For example, mountaineers often carry a folded paper map in case GPS signals disappear in remote wilderness (vùng hoang dã hẻo lánh – areas far from modern infrastructure). Second, paper maps give users a bird’s-eye perspective (tầm nhìn toàn cảnh – a wide overview of an area from above), which can be missing in zoomed-in digital screens. When planning long-distance trips, paper maps make it easier to see routes, connections, and distances at once. I once compared both methods while planning a road trip, and the paper map helped me visualize alternative scenic roads more clearly. Although people lean heavily on apps, dismissing paper maps entirely would be shortsighted. In emergencies, having a paper map can mean the difference between safety and risk.>> tham khảo CẦN VIẾT & THU ÂM BAO NHIÊU BÀI ĐỂ ĐẠT 8.0 SPEAKING & 7.0 WRITING?
4. How do people react when they get lost?
People usually experience initial disorientation (mất phương hướng ban đầu – a state of confusion when someone doesn’t know where they are), which can lead to stress and even panic. For example, when tourists realize they’ve missed a turn in an unfamiliar city, their body language often shows anxiety. However, some people adopt a problem-oriented mindset (tư duy tập trung giải quyết vấn đề – focusing on finding solutions rather than panicking) by checking maps, retracing their steps, or asking for help. In my case, whenever I get lost, I try to stay calm and look for recognizable landmarks like statues or tall buildings. Another common reaction is over-reliance on strangers (quá dựa dẫm vào người lạ – depending too much on unfamiliar people), which can be risky if directions are misleading. For example, in tourist hotspots, some locals might intentionally misguide travelers to profit from them. Nevertheless, many people treat getting lost as part of the adventure, especially in safe cities. Ultimately, reactions vary depending on personality and environment.
5. Do you think it’s important to do some preparation before you travel to new places?
Yes, preparation is crucial, especially in today’s fast-paced world. Firstly, it allows travelers to build cultural preparedness (sự chuẩn bị văn hóa – readiness to adapt to local customs and practices), which helps them avoid offending locals. For instance, reading about dress codes before visiting temples in Thailand prevents unnecessary embarrassment. Secondly, doing research ensures logistical efficiency (hiệu quả hậu cần – smooth and well-organized travel plans), making the trip less stressful. When I traveled to Japan, planning train routes in advance saved me hours of confusion at the station. Moreover, preparation helps people anticipate possible problems, like language barriers or transport delays. On the other hand, over-planning can reduce spontaneity, but a basic level of readiness is always beneficial. In my opinion, thoughtful preparation makes the travel experience more meaningful. It strikes a balance between safety and freedom.
