MÌNH ĐÃ THI SPEAKING NHƯ THẾ NÀO?
Speaking có lẽ là một trong các kỹ năng khiến cho nhiều người học Ielts phải khá chật vật để đạt được band điểm cao. Bản thân mình cũng chưa có nhiều kinh nghiệm với Ielts và mới chỉ thi lần đầu tiên nhưng khá may mắn khi đạt điểm 9.0 Speaking. Do đó, trong bài viết này mình muốn chia sẻ một chút quan điểm cá nhân dựa trên việc chuẩn bị và performance của mình trong ngày thi đó.
Trước tiên cũng phải đề cập rằng việc đạt 8.5 hay 9.0 trong những lần tới thì mình không dám chắc vì còn do nhiều yếu tố, nhưng hy vọng chia sẻ của mình sẽ giúp các bạn có sự chuẩn bị tốt hơn cho kỳ thi.
1. Vẫn là câu chuyện phát âm
Nếu các bạn còn nhiều thời gian để chuẩn bị hay muốn cải thiện Speaking nói chung thì nên chịu khó đầu tư vào việc luyện phát âm “chậm mà chắc”, luyện phát âm từng âm, từng từ rồi mới đến câu và đoạn. Khi làm chủ được phần này, các bạn chắc chắn sẽ tự tin hơn khi nói.
Trong khi trả lời câu hỏi, đừng cố nói quá nhanh, hãy điều tiết tốc độ nói để có thời gian suy nghĩ. Hơn nữa việc nói ở tốc độ vừa phải giúp các từ được phát âm rõ ràng, tránh gây khó hiểu cho GK.
2. Ngữ pháp
Trong phần trả lời, mình chủ yếu sử dụng liên từ và mệnh đề quan hệ để kéo dài nội dung và mở rộng idea.
Ví dụ trong Part 3 GK có hỏi mình câu như sau “What causes the misunderstanding between the young and the elderly? - It may be due to the generation gap, which means that young people and elders may approach the same matter in different ways. For instance, when it comes to work, while the young tend to pursue a career that they are passionate about, the old are more likely to consider monetary benefits as a major source of motivation at work”
Ngoài ra, các bạn cần lưu ý thêm về việc chia các thì động từ chính xác với ngữ cảnh, chỉ cần focus vào vài thì cơ bản để luyện tập là hoàn toàn ok rồi.
3. Cần dùng nhiều từ vựng khủng?
Mình có đọc khá nhiều bài viết chia sẻ về Sample Part 1/2/3 band 7+, 8+ có sử dụng từ vựng rất phong phú, rất academic nhưng mình thấy chỉ nên ở mức tham khảo vì chẳng ai học thuộc được hết tất cả các bài mẫu như thế để bê vào phòng thi, thậm chí sẽ là phản tác dụng nếu bạn nói như thể đang đọc thuộc. Mình đã dừng ngay việc đọc Speaking sample (trừ một vài Topic Part 2) vì thấy quá stress về việc làm sao mọi người có thể nghĩ ra nhiều từ khủng trong một câu trả lời có vài chục giây như thế ^^. Thay vào đó, mình dành thời gian đọc (đọc báo, Reading Cam) và đó là cách mình học từ vựng cũng như có thêm idea để cho các Topic Part 3.
Quay lại phần thi của mình hôm đó, mình hầu như không sử dụng “Bombastic vocab”, chỉ có một số từ và cụm từ mình dùng có thể là advanced một chút như: environmentally-minded, pick sb’s brain, climb the corporate ladder, haphazardly dispose of waste, be aware of the significance of environmental preservation, monetize… Cái mình muốn nhấn mạnh là các bạn đừng cố nhồi nhét thật nhiều từ vựng để gây ấn tượng với GK, thay vào đó, hãy cố sử dụng từ vựng một cách tự nhiên, nhớ được từ gì ngay lúc đó thì hãy bật ra luôn.
4. Bí idea khi nói
Cái này mình cũng gặp trong lúc thi khi được hỏi câu “What can young people and old ones learn from each other?”
Lúc đó mình không nghĩ ra được là Old people có thể học các kỹ năng công nghệ từ Young people, nên mình nói kiểu hơi vòng vo là Young people có cách sống hiện đại và trẻ trung nên Old people có thể được truyền cảm hứng từ họ và sẽ trở nên “reinvigorated” và “energetic” hơn. Trả lời xong thấy hơi ngáo rồi, nhưng mình nghĩ GK không đánh giá idea mà chỉ đánh giá khả năng diễn đạt ngôn ngữ thôi. Do đó, có idea dù hơi silly thì cứ mạnh dạnh trình bày và giải thích nhé, đừng sợ sai vì đó là quan điểm của cá nhân mà.
5. Hỏi lại GK câu hỏi & Self-correction
Đợt mình thi phải đeo khẩu trang và GK đọc câu hỏi cũng hơi nhỏ nên có tầm 2 câu mình không nghe rõ và phải hỏi lại nên mình thấy việc này là bình thường vì phải hiểu câu hỏi thì mới tránh trả lời sai thông tin.
Mình có tham khảo thì thấy từ band 7 trở lên vẫn chấp nhận Self-correction, sự khác nhau nằm ở tần suất. Trong quá trình mình trả lời, mình có Self-correct khoảng 3 lần nên mình nghĩ các bạn aim cao hoàn toàn có thể mắc lỗi này những trong giới hạn ít nhất có thể để tránh ảnh hưởng đến điểm Fluency chung.
6. Cấu trúc câu trả lời
Đa phần mình đều cố gắng trả lời ngay khi GK hỏi dù mình chưa biết mình nói gì tiếp 😃. Hơn nữa, mình trả lời theo hướng trực tiếp và kèm giải thích.
Ví dụ GK có hỏi mình ở Part 1 “Do you want to move to a new apartment/house in the future – Sure, I plan to relocate to a more capacious apartment where I can have a reading space and dive into my go-to books without being distracted by others”
Hay Part 3 “Do you think that nowadays children show less respect to older people than they did in the past” – From my perspective, I don’t think so. Actually, children in modern society tend to demonstrate the same or higher level of deference towards older people than they did before, which can be presented through honorifics they use or their polite manners. It is due to that fact that the quality of education is growing, which can be directly proportional to the level of respect….”
Mình nghĩ là câu trả lời của mình chẳng có gì màu mè hay quá là well-organized vì đơn giản mình nói ra suy nghĩ của mình lúc đó. Nên mình nghĩ rằng nếu bạn có thể chuẩn bị được những idea của riêng mình hay nảy ra idea ngay lúc đó thì việc trả lời sẽ tự nhiên hơn và nếu xây dựng được cấu trúc câu trả lời của riêng mình để không bị bỡ ngỡ nội dung nào nói trước/sau là tốt nhất
Đây là một số chia sẻ của cá nhân mình, chúc các bạn chuẩn bị tốt cho kỳ thi. Thanks all!

-----------------------------------------
Everything James Lavelle has created and initiated has been driven by the same irrepressible sense of curiosity and an incorruptible willingness to take risks. The music released today under the banner of UNKLE is very different from early UNKLE records. The spirit is the same.
2014 was a landmark year for independent music svengali James Lavelle. Coinciding with his 40th birthday he launched Mo’ Wax21: Urban Archaeology - a mind blowing Kickstarter resourced exhibition and a lavish Rizzoli published book to celebrate the 21st birthday of Mo’ Wax records, the label he launched as a teenager. He was also the curator for Meltdown on London’ s South Bank. Joining a long list musical luminaries such as Yoko Ono, Ornette Coleman, Massive Attack, Nick Cave, John Peel, Lee ‘ Scratch’ Perry, Patti Smith, amongst others, is according to James, “one of the proudest moments of my life in music so far.”
Since the early Nineties James Lavelle has been on a global roller coaster ride. It’ s taken him from being an obsessive 18 year old indie record label boss to the heart of corporate record company darkness and back to the light with an array of dynamic visual adventures based around the collective musical experience of his UNKLE project. A child of the sampling generation, he has honed his curatorial skills while riding the tidal wave of information technology. The Nineties were hectic - an endless cycle of clubbing and unfettered creativity and his Mo’ Wax label was bold, irreverent and “Kicking More Phunk Than A Shaolin Monk”. He released a flood of hip, deftly packaged 12”singles and ventured far and wide in search of like-minded souls. He forged links with Japan’ s hip hop originals Major Force and DJ Krush but it was in Oakland California that he found the future - Josh Davis aka DJ Shadow.
In ‘ 96 Rolling Stone magazine declared Mo’ Wax as the true source of ‘ Trip Hop’ - a decision underpinned by the aural impact of DJ Shadow’ s ‘ In/Flux’ 12” single – but In reality, it was the ‘ Headz’ compilation, released in ‘ 94, complete with cover art by Massive Attack’ s 3D that took ‘ trip hop’ worldwide. What followed was DJ Shadow’ s skillfully crafted ‘ Endtroducing’ LP – a homage to his trusty Akai MPC60 and a seminal slab of vinyl that has since notch up sales in excess of a million. A label deal with A&M appeared to give James the freedom to pursue the Mo’ Wax grail and UNKLE was chosen to deliver the vision. DJ Shadow took on the producer role of ‘ Psyence Fiction’ . Meanwhile James commissioned Futura2000 to provide the artwork and succeeded in enlisting Radiohead’ s Thom Yorke and ex-Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft to the project. It was a radical venture that predictably met with the glint of sharpened critical knives. A combination of youth and boundary breaking ambition has never endeared James Lavelle to the critics. Ironically, the deal-breaker when signing to A&M records was a Jean-Michel Basquiat drawing that declared “Cowards with get rid of you, the sky is the limit”. It proved an apt warning. At the dawn of the new millennium A&M imploded andtook Mo’ Wax with it. Financial uncertainty ensued. He sold the Basquiat, reverted to his DJ career and pressed on with UNKLE.
James Lavelle loves DJing. It’ s back to basics. He describes his five year long residency at Fabric as “insane” and is happy to point out that he’ s had residencies in all of the Top 10 clubs in the world including Zouk and Womb.
Obsessed with the collision of music, fashion and art James forged links with Nigo at A Bathing Ape and launched Mo' Wax Arts to translate Futura 2000’ s concepts and images into merchandise, toys and fashion. He was mates with iconoclastic London fashion genius Lee Alexander McQueen and continues to work with McQueen collaborators Warren Du Preez and Nick Thornton Jones. Daydreaming with.... James Lavelle was launched at London’ s Museum Of Mankind and has produced collaborations with celebrated artists like Jonathan Glazer, 3D, Jonas Burget, Doug Foster and Turner Prize nominee Nathan Coley.
In 2005, he set up Surrender - a clothing line and boutique record label dedicated to all things UNKLE. Over a five period they produced three UNKLE albums - ‘ War Stories’ , ‘ End Titles- Stories For Films’ , ‘ Where Did Night Fall’ and around 150 tracks. UNKLE's progression in the studio from a classic hip hop aesthetic to breakbeats-meet-house to electronica to rock has also been instrumental in UNKLE manifesting as a live band that’ s successfully toured the world.
The UNKLE crew has been populated by a bunch of serious players who have made a massive impact on the UK music scene and beyond. Tim Goldsworthy set up DFA records, Nick Huggett signed Adele, M.I.A and Dizzee Rascal, Damian Taylor is Bjork’ s right hand person, Cameron Craig is a Grammy winning engineer and Jim Abiss and Paul Epworth are both producers at the top the game – think: Adele, Kasabian, Plan B, Florence & The Machine. Another UNKLE veteran Toby Feltwell went on to run Bathing Ape and Billionaire Boys Club with Nigo and Pharrell.
Here in lies the journey of a hip hop, subway art, Massive Attack obsessed kid from Oxford. It’ s been a wild and mind expanding journey. His focus is always on the future. Watch this space.

【玳瑚師父佛學論】 改命由心起
Fate alteration begins from your heart (English version below)
吾曾聽過這樣的故事:一對兄弟死後,同時到了閻王殿。閻王翻了翻簿子,說:“人間有兩個空缺,你們可以去投胎了。”
祂對著弟弟問: “我給你選。你要投胎做一輩子拿人好處的人,還是要做一輩子給人好處的人?”
弟弟答: “哥哥輩份比較大,我給哥哥先選。”
哥哥性格好勝,即刻就說: “我要做一輩子拿人好處的人!”
弟弟無所謂地說: “那我就做一輩子給人好處的人。”
閻王一聲令下,兄弟倆就各自轉劫去了。
後來,哥哥投胎在一個乞丐的家裏,常常到一個很慷概的富貴人家屋外向富貴人家討乞。而弟弟就是投胎在那個富貴人家里,常常施捨給來討乞的前世哥哥。
吾常提醒客人,一定要做多點善事。有行善,有福報。有福報,能擋災,能改命,能致富。如果你功德力不夠,拿什麽來談條件?
無奈這麽簡單的道理,很多人都不以爲然。
有客人說:“師父,我沒有時間啊!放工得回去看孩子,教他們功課!”
“有錢才給咯!現在錢不夠,所以才來找師父啊!”
“有啊!每個月,公司從我的薪水扣$10給公益金!”
更有客人說: “我每年都繳交所得稅,捐給新加坡政府!”
我講的善,不只是出錢。有錢,當然應該出,蓋廟、醫院、學校、蓋橋鋪路、振災等都是大善。這樣子為生命投資,包賺!好過每個星期‘捐’給新加坡博彩公司。 沒有錢,可以出力,幫忙派米給老人院,唱歌給老人聼,為寺廟教堂做翻譯等。連力都不可以,就用嘴巴來勸善,勸人不要墮胎、不要邪淫、不要偷公司的物品等。在服務業的,對客人要禮貌、周到、真誠也是一個善。
行善要懂得用腦,花點心思,運用您已有的能力和人际网络,一樣可以行善。父母也該帶著孩子一起去行善,灌輸給他們施比受更有福的道理,要不然,我們國家未來的棟梁只會追求物質的生活而不懂得人情味,未來怎麽會是孝子孝女呢?
“師父,我有做善事啊!爲甚麽我的命沒有改好?”
拜托,自己要用智慧衡量一下。
有位弟子哭著來問他的師父:“師父,我唸了很多的經,持了很多的咒,爲什麽我的命沒有改好?”
師父: “不要哭,不要哭。可以幫師父做件事嗎?”
弟子擦拭眼淚說: “師父要我幫你做什麽?”
師父拿出一些錢遞給他: “這裡有$500。你拿這些錢去幫我買一輛車。”
弟子看著師父說: “$500哪裏夠買車啊?”
師父微笑說: “就是啊!你說你做了很多,可是你要的比你做的還多。哪裏夠啊?”
有機會行善,不要一口拒絕,把心打開,多少都做一點。不要老是等人來邀,都這麽大的人了,要主動去行善,積極賺‘功德錢’!自己也要反省,不要還沒有積德,就缺德。這裡加,那裏減,驢年才能好命!
2014年6月28日,我的一些弟子和客人,召集了他們的家人和朋友,到Taman Jurong 的一老人中心演唱老歌、教健康操、請老人家吃茶點和分派禮包給150名貧困的獨居老人。這是他們第一次做這樣的活動。(弟子啊!教了你們七八年,現在才會用一下腦。)
他們沒有大機構做靠山。自己去聯絡老人中心,向朋友家人同事募款招義工,邀業餘唱歌的朋友來義演和教拳的來教健康操,找賣吃的友人贊助食物,去超市比較產品和價錢, 聯絡代理商問價,安排運輸等。
8人樂團(有專業器材)
20名贊助者
21名義工
150份價值$30的禮包
160片娘惹糕
160片蛋糕
200包美祿
能夠承辦,因爲肯做給人好處的人。今天,您拿了人家的好處還是給了別人好處呢?

------------------------
There was once this story I heard. 2 brothers arrived at the Hades after their death. The King of Hades flipped through His book and said, "There are 2 vacancies in the human realm. You can go for your rebirths."
The King asked the younger brother: "I shall give you a choice. Do you want to be reborn as a person who is always given favours by others throughout his life or be a person who is always dispensing favours to others?"
The younger brother answered, "I will let my elder brother choose first as he is my senior. "
The older brother, being competitive, said immediately, "I want to be born as the person who is always getting favours from others!"
The younger brother, without minding at all, said :"I shall be reborn as a person that's always dispensing favours to others. "
With a command, the King of Hades sent both brothers to their rebirths.
Eventually, the older brother ended up in a family of beggars, often begging at the doorstep of a generous and wealthy household. The younger brother was reborn into this rich family and always providing for the beggar who was his elder brother in previous life.
I often remind my clients to do more good deeds. With good deeds come merits gained, and these merits will help you to ward off disasters, change your life for the better and even lead to riches. If you have insufficient merits, there is nothing to talk about.
It's a simple concept which, sadly, is taken lightly by too many people.
Some clients lamented, "Master, I have no time at all! There's the kid to take care and revise homework with after my work!"
"I will give money if I have! But I'm lacking it now and that's why I am here to seek your help!"
"I do! Every month, my company deduct $10 from my paycheck to the Community Chest!"
One even retorted, "I pay my income tax every year and that is donation to the Singapore government!"
The good deed I am talking about is not just monetary donation. Of course, whenever you can, it is very meritorious to contribute financially to the building of temples, hospitals, schools, roads and bridges and assist in any disaster relief. This is way better than weekly 'donation' to Singapore Pools.
If you are strapped financially, you can volunteer your time to do rice delivery to the old folks home, sing for them, or aid in translation for temples/churches. If you are too lazy to lift a finger, you still have your mouth! You can urge people to refrain from abortion, sexual misconduct, pilfering from the company etc. If you are in the service line, treat your customers with respect and courtesy. Sincerity in itself is a kind deed.
Doing good needs a bit of creative thinking. Leveraging on your abilities and network is a good way to start. Parents should involve their children in charitable works to inculcate the notion that giving to others is always more fortunate than receiving. Otherwise, our next generation, the future pillars of the nation, would end up as a materialistic and unfeeling bunch. Filial piety? It would be thrown out of the window by then.
"Master, I have done some good deeds! Why hasn't my life improved?"
Please use your wisdom to gauge.
One disciple came crying to his master, "Master, I have been reciting the scriptures and chanting the mantras for a long time. Why am I still living such a wretched life?"
The master replied, "Please don't cry. Will you help me do something?"
The disciple wiped his tears and asked. "Master, what is it that you wanted me to do?"
The master took out some money and passed to the disciple, saying, "Here's $500. Please take this money and help me buy a car. "
The disciple looked at his master in disbelief, "Master, $500 is not enough to buy a car!"
The master smiled and replied, "Obviously! You claimed to have done a lot but what you desire is more than what you have done."
Never turn down a chance to do good. Open up your heart and do good with whatever you can. Don't sit around waiting for invitations to do good. You are already a grown-up so take the initiative to do good and proactively earn more 'merits income'. You must self reflect at all times. Don't lose your merits through undesirable behavior before you even start to do more good. You would end up waiting till the Year of the Donkey to change your life for the better!
On 28 June this year, some of my students and clients gathered their family and friends to put together an event for the elderly folks living alone in Taman Jurong. They put up a band performance, an exercise demonstration and provided snacks and goodies bags for the 150 needy old folks. It was their first time doing such an event.
There was no corporate sponsor. They did it all by themselves, from contacting the elderly care centre to canvassing donations from family and friends, and getting volunteers for the band performance and exercise demonstration. Not to mention the sourcing of snacks, doing product and price comparison at the supermarket for the goodie bag items, liaising with the distributor and arranging for delivery.
8-piece band with professional equipment
20 sponsors
21 volunteers
150 goodies bag worth $30 each
160 pcs of Nyona Kueh
160 pcs of cakes
200 packets of Milo drinks
Mission impossible for first-timers? They got it done because of one common wish. They wanted to be the person who gives and improves the lives of others.
Have you been giving your bit to others today? Or have you just taken advantage of another?
