Cơ bản mình hướng dẫn bạn 3 cách tiếp cận để trả lời Part 2

Cách 1: Gom 3 câu hỏi đầu lại như phần Introduction, sau đó câu cuối cùng xem như câu chính (ÁP DỤNG VỚI DẠNG CÓ CÂU HỎI CUỐI CÙNG LÀ WHY)

Answer the first 3 questions in about 40 seconds

Cách 2: Trả lời mỗi câu hỏi từ 2-3 câu (CHO TẤT CẢ CÁC DẠNG)

• FOR THE WHY QUESTION => Using a prepared structure : there are some reasons/factors to explain why

• Use signposting words: firstly, secondly if you have clear ideas and good vocabularies. Otherwise, using the structures: the first reason/factor…..another reason/factor…..

Ví dụ: nếu hỏi về thì hiện tại hoàn thành (eg. How has teaching changed in your country over the past few decades?
