IELTS Speaking Part 1 topic Email

1. Do you use email

Of course, I use it almost everyday and almost exclusively for work because you know, it is very popular around the globe for corporate communication and it really comes in handy compared to written letters. 

Ta có các từ vựng hay như sau:

VOCABULARY

MEANING

SYNONYM

exclusively (adv)

/ɪkˈskluːsɪvli/

riêng biệt, dành riêng

 

corporate communication 

/ˈkɔːrpərət kəˌmjuːnɪˈkeɪʃn/

giao tiếp trong doanh nghiệp

 

to come in handy

 

tiện lợi

convenient 

 

2. Do you prefer use email or text messaging

Well, I personally prefer texting because what’s quicker than sending a text right? Texting doesn’t require formal greeting. Besides, texting comes pre-built on mobile phones and, unlike email, is available even without a wifi connection, which makes texting a more accessible medium.

Bạn hãy ghi nhớ những từ vựng này nhé:

3. Do you think it’s important to reply to emails immediately (or quickly) after you receive them?

Well, i think it’s absolutely crucial to instantly respond to emails because if someone takes a long time to write you back, you’ll probably start to think that they are being discourteous and disrespectful of your time.  By sending a quick acknowledgement email, you are being polite, well-mannered, and respectful.

7. What kindsof emails do you receive about your work or studies?

I usually get emails about my grades, school announcements, and assignments. Sometimes, my teachers send reminders about deadlines or upcoming exams. I also receive emails about school events, like workshops or extracurricular activities. Occasionally, there are announcements about schedule changes or important updates from the school. I try to check my inbox regularly so I don’t miss anything important!

8. Doyou prefer to email, phone, or text your friends? [Why]

I prefer to text my friends because it’s more convenient. I can reply whenever I have time, and I don’t feel pressured to respond immediately like I would on a phone call. Plus, I’m not really a fan of calling—it makes me a bit nervous, especially when I don’t know what to say right away

9. Do you reply to emails and messages as soon as you receive them? [Why/ why not?]

It depends. If I’m not busy, I’ll reply right away to stay on top of my messages. But if I’m occupied with something, I usually put it off until I have time to give a proper response. I try to keep up with important emails and messages

10. Are you happy to receive emails that are advertising things [Why/ why not?]

No, I’m not happy to receive advertising emails because they can be quite annoying and intrusive. My inbox often gets cluttered with spam, and it takes time to sort through unnecessary messages.
