4. IELTS Speaking Part 3 Sample & Ideas: Fame & Celebrities

SAMPLE & IDEAS

1. Do you think the media is putting too much attention on famous people? 

[lead-in] Absolutely! It feels like the media can’t get enough of famous people. 

[explain] They’re constantly bombarding us with news, gossip, and every little detail about their lives => celebrities are always in the spotlight => can be overwhelming

[personal thought] I think there are so many other important stories and issues that deserve attention, but the media’s obsession with fame often overshadows them.

• can’t get enough of someone/something: không cảm thấy đủ, thỏa mãn với ai/cái gì đó
• bombarding us with news, gossip, and every little detail: liên tục đưa tin tức, tin đồn và mọi tiểu tiết
• obsession with fame often overshadows them: bị lu mờ bởi sự ám ảnh với sự nổi tiếng

2. Do you think famous people are necessarily good in their fields? 

[lead-in] Not necessarily. Just because someone is famous doesn’t automatically make them exceptional in their field. 

[explain] fame is more about public image and marketing rather than genuine talent or skill //  some famous people are undoubtedly talented // deserving of their recognition ><  others who are simply famous for being famous // no real substance behind their fame => kinda superficial

• make someone exceptional in their field: làm cho ai đó xuất sắc trong lĩnh vực của họ
• no real substance behind their fame: không có sự chân thật đằng sau sự nổi tiếng của họ

3. Is it beneficial for young people to live by themselves?

[lead-in] Well, one big difference is the way fame is attained and spread. 

[explain] In the past, fame was primarily achieved through traditional media channels like TV, movies, and music. >< Now with the rise of social media and the internet => anyone can become famous overnight // fast-paced digital age => trends and attention shift rapidly => easier for fame to be fleeting // famous people are more accessible to their fans through social media platforms, creating a closer and more interactive relationship than in the past

• fast-paced digital age: thời đại kỷ nguyên số có nhịp độ nhanhh
• easier for fame to be fleeting: dễ dàng để sự nổi tiếng trở nên thoáng qua

4. What kinds of famous people are there in Vietnam? 

[lead-in] Vietnam has its fair share of famous people across various fields. 

[explain] famous actors and actresses who grace our screens with their talent // renowned musicians who create catchy tunes // great athletes who bring pride to the country // other people in other fields //

[examples] prominent figures in politics, business, and social works => gained recognition for their contributions to society

• grace our screens with their talent: cuốn hút trên màn ảnh với tài năng của họ

5. What kinds of people tend to live by themselves?

[lead-in] Ah, popularity at school, it’s a complex thing. 

[explain] There can be various reasons why certain kids become popular // a charismatic personality // sports achievement // academic excellence //  some kids have a unique sense of style or talent that stands out

[extend] being popular often involves having good social skills // being well-liked by peers // having the ability to navigate social dynamics effectively => popularity at school can be influenced by a combination of factors

• a charismatic personality: tính cách lôi cuốn
• have the ability to navigate social dynamics effectively: có khả năng điều hướng các mối quan hệ xã hội một cách hiệu quả

6. Why do some people become famous but not successful? 

[lead-in] Well, fame and success aren’t always synonymous. 

[methods] Sometimes, people become famous for the wrong reasons, like scandals or negative publicity // don’t have the necessary skills or talents to sustain long-term success => may achieve fleeting fame 

Success is subjective and can mean different things to different people // Someone might be famous in the public eye >< feel unfulfilled or unsatisfied personally => It takes a combination of talent, hard work, perseverance, and the right opportunities to achieve both fame and meaningful success.

• sustain long-term success: duy trì thành công lâu dài
• feel unfulfilled or unsatisfied personally: cảm thấy không thỏa mãn hoặc không hài lòng với bản thân
