6. Các câu hỏi IELTS Speaking chủ đề Family

6.1. Part 1

1. Do you have a large or small family?
   I come from a large family. Now, I just have my mom, an older brother and three younger brothers. My father passed away 17 years ago. I am the only daughter in the family.
2. How much time do you spend with your family?
   For now, I live one in another city far from my family so I only spend about two weeks each year with them.
3. What do you like to do together as a family?
   My family enjoys cooking together and having special meals together. We catch up and talk about our lives. We look back and share memories especially when we were still young. We enjoy music as well. So, when we get together, we play several musical instruments and sing along.
4. Do you get along well with your family?
   Sure. We are really close to each other. I am happy that I could tell them anything. They are always there to listen when I have problems.
5. Is yours a typical family?
   Well, I can say that, yes, our family is a typical one. A family, who stays by each other through good times and bad times.
6. Are there many different types of family in your country?
   Yes, types of family in terms of number and the members of a household. There are small families with one two children to large families with about eight or more children. There are also households with extended families.
7. Who are you closest to in your family?
   I am closest to my mom. I think it is because we are the only women in the family. So, we share the same ideas about many things.

6.2. Part 2

Describe the person in your family who you most admire. You should say:

• what their relationship is to you
• what they have done in their life
• what they do now
• and explain why you admire them so much.

Sample answer:

The person I admire the most, not just in my family but in the whole world is my mom. She is a great wife and a wonderful mother. She is loving, caring, open-minded and very understanding.

I love how she looks at things. She is very optimistic. I love her courage in raising me and my brothers well since my father passed away. She has been a single mom for about 17 years and did her best to act both a mother and a father to us. She’d always stood up for us.

My mom resigned from work few years after my father died. Her reason was to spend much more time for the family especially when we were growing up. She felt the need to guide us physically and emotionally. She then started her own business which she is still running till now.

I love her so much. She is not just a mom but also a mentor and a friend.

Describe a family celebration that you remember. You should say

• what you were celebrating
• who was present
• what you and your family did to make the celebration special
• and why you enjoyed the occasion.

Sample answer:

I’m going to describe my sister’s wedding day, which took place a few years ago in the town where I grew up. For my sister it was the biggest and most important day of her life.

I think there were around 100 people at the marriage ceremony, which was held in a church. Even more people came to the party, or the wedding reception as we call it, after the ceremony. Of course, most members of my family were there, as well as the groom’s family and a collection of the bride and groom’s friends and colleagues.

To make the celebration special, we did what families normally do. My mother made sure that the church and the reception venue were nicely decorated – there were flowers everywhere! Obviously we all dressed for the occasion, and there were bridesmaids, gifts, a huge wedding cake, and so on.

I enjoyed the occasion because it was great to see my sister so happy on her big day. The ceremony was perfect, and we all had a fantastic time at the reception. It’s rare for me to see all of my family and friends together in one place, so that’s probably what made the day so memorable for me.

6.3. Part 3

• In what ways have families in your country changed in recent?
  The roles of husbands and wives changed in recent years. Both spouses have been more open to perform different roles such as working outside the home or pitching-in with the household duties. Another change I think is limiting the number of children in the family. Parents nowadays think of having smaller families due to high cost of living.
• Should husbands and wives have different roles within the family? Why (not)?
  Traditionally, husbands and wives had clear-cut roles in the society. Husbands used to provide the financial need of the family, while women were expected to take care of the house. Changes had occurred over time and both husbands and wives started to take part in each of these roles. I think this change is good. It is not necessary to define each role. I think whatever role each husband or wife takes, as long as it is good for the family, it is okay.
• Which are more important to you: your family or your friends?
  Both are important but family is more important for me than friends. Friends may come and go but I know that my family is always there and will always be there no matter what happens in my life and no matter what decisions I take.
