IELTS SPEAKING PART 2

Describe a person who works in a successful company

You should say:

• Who he/she is

• What he/she does in the company

• What business the company does

• And explain why you think it is a successful company

I'd like to talk about my uncle, who works for a large construction company in Vietnam. He is a project manager, so his main responsibility is overseeing construction projects, coordinating different teams, and making sure everything is.

The company specializes in construction and real estate development. It is involved in building residential buildings, office towers, and commercial complexes in several major cities across the country.

I think it is a successful company for a number of reasons. First, it has been operating for many years and has built a strong reputation in the industry. Second, the company is involved in many large-scale projects, which shows that clients trust its expertise and quality. Finally, it provides stable jobs for thousands of employees and continues to expand its business every year.

Because of its strong reputation, financial stability, and impressive projects, I believe it is one of the most successful companies in its field.

Describe a place you would like to visit in your free time

You should say:

Where it is

What you will do there

How long you will stay there

And explain why you would like to visit it

I'd like to talk about Da Lat, a well-known tourist destination. It is located in Lam Dong Province, about 300 kilometers away from Ho Chi Minh City. It is one of the most popular places to visit in Vietnam because of its cool climate, beautiful natural scenery, and peaceful atmosphere.

Whenever I have some free time, Da Lat is one of the first places that comes to mind. There are plenty of activities to enjoy there. One thing I would definitely do is explore the local food scene. Da Lat is famous for dishes such as bánh căn, nem nướng, bánh tráng nướng, and fresh strawberries. As someone who enjoys trying different foods, I find these local specialties really appealing.

Apart from the food, I would spend a lot of time sightseeing and enjoying the city's relaxing atmosphere. Da Lat is known for its picturesque landscapes, including pine forests, lakes, flower gardens, and waterfalls. I would also like to visit some unique cafés because the city has a very strong coffee culture. In addition, there are several zoos and tourist attractions where visitors can see unusual animals such as capybaras, which I find quite interesting.

Usually, I would stay there for about three days, as that is the typical length of a short holiday. However, if I had more free time and a bigger budget, I would happily stay for a week or even longer. I don't think I would get bored because there are so many places to explore and the atmosphere is incredibly relaxing.

The reason I would like to visit Da Lat is not only because of its pleasant weather and beautiful scenery, but also because it holds many memories for me. I visited the city several times when I was younger, so every trip feels quite nostalgic. Going back there reminds me of my childhood and the happy moments I spent with my family. On top of that, the cool weather is a refreshing change from the hot and humid climate of Ho Chi Minh City. For all these reasons, Da Lat is definitely a place I would love to visit whenever I have some free time.

Describe a special cake you received from others

You should say:

• When it happened

• Where it happened

• Who you got the cake from

• And explain why it’s a special cake

I'd like to talk about a special cake that I received on my 20th birthday. It happened at my home about a year ago.

At that time, I didn't have much money, so instead of going out to celebrate with my friends, I decided to have a small birthday party with my family. Even though it was a simple celebration, it turned out to be one of my most memorable birthdays.

During the celebration, my parents surprised me with a birthday cake. It was a corn cake, which is my favorite flavor. I wasn't expecting it at all, so I was really touched when they brought it out and sang "Happy Birthday" to me. The cake looked beautiful, and more importantly, it tasted amazing.

I think this cake was very special for several reasons. First, it marked my 20th birthday, which felt like an important milestone because I was becoming more independent and starting a new stage of my life. Second, it reminded me that my parents always care about me, even though they don't usually express their feelings directly. Finally, since I couldn't afford a big celebration with my friends, that simple family gathering became even more meaningful. It made me realize that spending quality time with the people I love is much more valuable than having an expensive party.

Even now, whenever I think about that birthday, I remember the delicious corn cake and the happiness I shared with my family. It's definitely one of my favorite birthday memories.
