IELTS Speaking Practice: Transportation

Speaking Part 1
Q1: What is your primary mode of transportation?
I mainly get around by bike. It’s a more environmentally friendly means of transportation, and I find it quite relaxing as well to pedal my way around town.
• get around → đi lại, di chuyển
• environmentally friendly → thân thiện với môi trường
• pedal my way around → đạp xe đi khắp nơi
Q2: Have you ever travelled by boat?
Yes, I have. I once took a ferry to a small island during a holiday trip. It was an exhilarating experience with the sea breeze in my face and the vast ocean all around.
• took a ferry → đi phà
• exhilarating experience → trải nghiệm hứng khởi, thú vị
• sea breeze → gió biển
Q3: Do you prefer to drive or to be a passenger?
I generally prefer to be a passenger. When I’m not behind the wheel, I have the freedom to enjoy the scenery, read a book, or even take a nap during the journey.
• behind the wheel → ngồi sau tay lái
• enjoy the scenery → thưởng thức phong cảnh
• take a nap → ngủ một giấc ngắn
