IELTS Speaking Practice: Online Shopping

Speaking Part 1
Q1: Do you often do online shopping?
Yes, I frequently shop online. It’s a massive time-saver, and with the hectic schedule I have, it’s really a godsend. Plus, there’s a huge variety of products available at a click of a button, which makes it incredibly convenient.
• Massive time-saver → Tiết kiệm thời gian lớn
• Hectic schedule → Lịch làm việc bận rộn
• Godsend → Món quà từ trời
Q2: What kind of products do you usually buy online?
I generally buy a wide range of products online, from books, clothing, electronics to even groceries. However, I mostly purchase clothes and books because the variety is extensive and the prices are usually competitive.
• Wide range of products → Một loạt các sản phẩm
• Extensive variety → Sự đa dạng lớn
• Competitive prices → Giá cả cạnh tranh
Q3: Have you ever had a bad experience with online shopping?
Yes, unfortunately, I have. There was a time when I ordered a dress, and when it arrived, it was completely different from the picture and description on the website. It was a real let-down, and I had to go through the hassle of returning it.
• Completely different → Hoàn toàn khác
• Real let-down → Thực sự thất vọng
• Hassle of returning → Phiền phức về việc trả lại
