4. IELTS Speaking Part 3 Sample & Ideas: Architecture

SAMPLE & IDEAS

1. What are the most common architectural styles in Vietnamese cities?

In my experience, Vietnamese cities showcase a rich diversity of architectural styles, reflecting the country’s complex history and cultural influences. Some of the most common styles include French colonial architecture, traditional Vietnamese architecture, and modernist styles. As the saying goes, “variety is the spice of life,” and the range of architectural styles in Vietnamese cities offers a fascinating glimpse into the country’s past and present. Ultimately, the key is to appreciate and celebrate the unique beauty and character of each style, and to recognize the ways in which architecture can shape and reflect the culture and identity of a place and its people.

• a rich diversity of architectural styles: sự đa dạng phong phú về kiến trúc
• “variety is the spice of life”: sự đa dạng và sự phong phú trong cuộc sống là điều làm cho nó thêm hấp dẫn và thú vị
• a fascinating glimpse: cái nhìn hấp dẫn

2. What’s the difference between an apartment and a house?

In my view, the main difference between an apartment and a house is the level of ownership and responsibility.

An apartment is typically a unit within a larger building, and ownership is shared among multiple tenants or a landlord. As the saying goes, “home is where the heart is,” and while apartments offer convenience and affordability, they may also involve more communal living and less control over the living space. In contrast, a house is typically an independent dwelling owned by a single individual or family, offering greater privacy and control over the living space but also more responsibility for upkeep and maintenance. Ultimately, the key is to choose the type of dwelling that best suits one’s needs and preferences, taking into account factors such as location, affordability, and lifestyle.

• the level of ownership and responsibility: mức độ sở hữu và trách nhiệm
• multiple tenants or a landlord: nhiều người thuê hoặc một chủ nhà
• an independent dwelling owned: ngôi nhà độc lập sở hữu
• take into account: lưu ý, suy xét

3. What’s the difference between living in the countryside and living in the city?

In my experience, living in the countryside and living in the city offer vastly different lifestyles and experiences. Living in the countryside can offer peace, quiet, and natural beauty, while living in the city offers excitement, convenience, and cultural diversity. As the saying goes, “different strokes for different folks,” and the choice between rural and urban living depends on individual preferences and priorities. Ultimately, the key is to find a living environment that offers a balance of comfort, opportunity, and fulfillment, whether that means embracing the rhythms of the countryside or the vibrancy of the city.

• “different strokes for different folks”: mỗi người một nét
• embracing the rhythms of the countryside: đón nhận, chấp nhận và thích ứng với lối sống và nhịp điệu của cuộc sống ở nông thôn
• the vibrancy of the city: sự sôi động của thành phố

4. What are the advantages of the facilities of the apartment and those of the house?

In my opinion, apartments and houses offer unique advantages in terms of facilities. Apartments often come with amenities such as gyms, pools, and communal spaces, which can offer convenience and social opportunities. As the saying goes, “there’s safety in numbers,” and apartment living can offer a sense of security and community. Houses, on the other hand, offer more privacy, space, and customization options, allowing individuals to create a living environment that suits their unique needs and preferences. Ultimately, the key is to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each type of dwelling, and to choose the one that offers the facilities and lifestyle that best align with one’s goals and priorities.

• communal spaces: không gian chung
• “there’s safety in numbers”: an toàn hơn khi đông người

5. What difficulties do people have living in the city?

In my experience, living in the city can present a range of challenges and difficulties. These may include issues such as traffic congestion, noise pollution, high living costs, and social isolation. As the saying goes, “there’s no such thing as a free lunch,” and the benefits of city living often come with trade-offs and sacrifices. However, with careful planning, adaptability, and a willingness to embrace the unique opportunities and challenges of urban life, it is possible to thrive and find fulfillment in the city. Ultimately, the key is to approach city living with an open mind and a willingness to learn and grow.

• social isolation: cô đơn xã hộ
• “there’s no such thing as a free lunch”: không có bữa ăn trưa nào là miễn phí ➜ không thể có được một cái gì đó mà không phải mất gì cả
• trade-offs and sacrifices: sự đánh đổi và hy sinh

6. What can be done to reduce the stress of city life?

From my perspective, there are several strategies that can be effective in reducing the stress of city life. These may include engaging in regular exercise, practicing mindfulness and meditation, seeking out green spaces and natural environments, and building strong social connections. As the saying goes, “no man is an island,” and social support and connection can be powerful buffers against stress and anxiety. Ultimately, the key is to prioritize self-care and well-being, and to find strategies that work best for one’s unique needs and circumstances.

• green spaces and natural environments: không gian xanh và môi trường tự nhiên
• “no man is an island”: mọi người cần có nhau để sống và tồn tại
