[IELTS Speaking Tips] Cách chuyển từ câu cá nhân sang câu khái quát – giúp bạn ăn điểm ở Part 3!

Trong Part 3 của bài thi Speaking, giám khảo không chỉ muốn nghe bạn kể chuyện bản thân. Họ muốn bạn nêu ý kiến, đưa ra lý do và nhìn vấn đề ở góc nhìn rộng hơn.

Nhưng nhiều bạn vẫn trả lời như thế này:

❌ “I wear a helmet when I work on a construction site.”
— Đây là câu thật, nhưng quá hẹp, chỉ nói về chính bạn.

✅ Để ăn điểm cao hơn, bạn cần chuyển câu trả lời từ “TÔI” sang “MỌI NGƯỜI” và phát triển ý như sau:

CÁCH CHUYỂN:

1. Bắt đầu từ trải nghiệm cá nhân
   👉 “I wear a helmet at work.”

2. Chuyển sang dạng chung chung
   👉 “Some people have to wear protective clothing.”

3. Giải thích hoặc đưa ví dụ
   👉 “…for example, if they work on a construction site.”

 Câu hoàn chỉnh (nâng band điểm):

Some people have to wear protective clothing, for example, if they work on a construction site. This helps ensure safety in high-risk environments.
