Speaking Part 1 Sample Pet
Đây là 4 câu hỏi thường gặp và câu trả lời mẫu nhé:
1. Why do some people keep pets at home?
I think we would all agree that pets are loyal companions to human. Especially for those who adopt pets when they were just newborns, these animals are like the precious children to many families.
2. Have you ever had a pet before?
I used to have a puppy corgi when I was a kid. He and I were best friends, actually. I remember taking him to the park, feeding him with milk and training him with many cool tricks. Sadly, when I got older, I discovered that I am allergic to dog fur, so I had to give him away.
3. Do you like to see animals in the zoo?
I've been to the zoo once, so I can't really tell whether I'm into it. It was good to see exotic animals like lions or giraffes when you were a kid. But when I got older, I've come to realize that zoos are no different from prisons for animals, where they are caged and locked away from their natural habitat.
4. What is the most popular animal in Vietnam?
I suppose the most popular animal in my country is the dog. A lot of Vietnamese children grow up with fond memories about their puppies as their childhood best friend. Besides, you can see that there are many dog rescue groups in the main cities, which aims to save dogs from being abandoned or kidnapped.

Speaking Part 1 - Will Animal
Chủ đề động vật hoang dã thì thường có các câu sau nha.
1. What’s your favourite wild animal?
Tiger, for many reasons. As you know, tigers symbolize numerous positive traits such as power, individuality, patience and you named it. All of them deeply inspire me. Additionally, tigers are also my zodiac animals, so I have a belief that a spiritual tiger would represent a part of my fate and characteristics.
2. Have you ever seen wild animals?
In a metropolis such as HCMC, a zoo is the only place where wild animals can be seen. You know, when I was a kid, my parents used to reward me if I performed excellently in my studies with a trip to the zoo. So obviously, I visited the zoo several times. However, the older I get, the more I hate going to the zoo as I am against imprisoning wild animals.
3. Do you like watching animals in the zoo?
No. To be honest, I think it is inhumane to deprive the freedom and the true habitat of these wild animals. Fortunately, nowadays, there are introductions of many new kinds of preservation which still conserve wildlife such as safari and animal national parks. Therefore, people have more choices to have the observation of wild animals instead of visiting zoos.
Describe an interesting animal
You should say about:
- What animal it is;
- What features it has;
- Why you find it interesting;
- And explain how you feel about it.
Suggested answer
To talk about an interesting animal, the first thing that comes to my mind is the sloth. Sloths are tropical mammals that live in South America. Sloths have short, flat heads, big eyes; short snouts, long legs, and tiny ears. Some species have stubby tails. Altogether, sloths' bodies are usually between 50 and 60 cm long. Sloths are portrayed as hilariously slow in Disney’s latest movie ‘Zootopia’ - a smash hit internationally, as it appealed to all age groups. And also thanks to that movie, I came to know this animal.
Besides, they are experts in playing cute. I think that's probably the reason why so many people like sloths, including me.
And after reading a few articles about sloths, What strikes me the most is that sloths are ‘vegans’, they eat leaves, flower petals and other plant products. They use their long claws to hang onto branches while they feast on the leaves that other animals can't reach. And surprisingly, they are strong swimmers. They will sometimes drop down from their treetop perches into water and use their extended arms to propel through the water.
They are herbivores. They can be compared to koala bears in some ways, as they are both considered to be bone idle.
So I think it’s a really interesting animal and I hope to see it in the flesh one day.
