IELTS Speaking test - August 2014 - Part III Discussion Topic: Transportation & Travelling Cùng làm thêm mấy câu hỏi phần 3 về 2 chủ đề lớn là phương tiện vận tải và du lịch nhé ^^ - Do you think people like to travel far away from home? Why? I do think that, at one point or another, most people would appreciate the idea of travelling away from home because, as simple as it may sound, a short break from the daily routine can benefit us in a number of ways. Not only is it a great chance for people to engage in new activities in new places but travelling can also expand our awareness and introduce us to different cultures as well as greater diversity of life. - What’s the difference of travel today compared to the past? I suppose travelling, just like any other aspects of life, has been facing with many changes, most of which were inspired by technology. It is undeniable that these days people are offered more diverse and comfortable ways of getting to new places such as cars, express trains and airplanes. Besides, we tend to travel more regularly than people did in the past when it was thought to be exclusively for the rich. Nowadays, with a much wider range of options available, almost everyone can have chance to discover new places, either through a travel agency or on their own. - What means of transportation do people prefer while travelling? Why? When it comes to the means of transportation that people use the most for travelling, I think it definitely is trains. Although airplanes are very fast, they cost much more than trains do, so many people don’t mind spending a couple of hours on trains probably sleeping or making new friends instead of wasting several dozen dollars on airplanes. Travelling by bus is another budget option; however, this is usually considered to be the most unsafe of all. - Do you think new trains are more environmentally friendly compared to the older models? Why? As far as I have been told, new trains are more eco-friendly and sustainable than the older ones. This is because they are lighter than the previous models, so they consume significantly less energy. Also, new trains can travel much faster, which means large amounts of fuel are saved while less exhaust is emitted into the environment. Especially, in some countries, people have switched from diesel powered trains to electric modes, reducing negative effects on our atmosphere as well as health. - Some people like to stay in the same place all their life. Why? As strange as it may sound, a lot of people don’t find the idea of travelling to new places interesting. It is usually the case that those people feel uncomfortable about changes and are slow to adapt to unfamiliar environments and situations. Let’s take my mother for example. She has hardly ever left her hometown, except for going to Hanoi to visit my brother and I. Well, as a famous person put it, the world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page. Có gì thắc mắc về cách diễn đạt các bạn cứ comment nhé ^^
