Bài mẫu IELTS Speaking Part 2: “Describe a park/garden you have enjoyed visiting"

 

One park and garden that I have truly enjoyed visiting in Vietnam is the Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens located in Ho Chi Minh City. It is a delightful place that combines the beauty of nature with a diverse range of animal species.

 

The Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens is the oldest zoo in Vietnam, spanning across 20 hectares of land. As you enter through the main gate, you are immediately greeted by lush greenery and a sense of tranquility. The park is well-maintained with neatly manicured lawns, towering trees, and vibrant flower beds.

 

What sets this park apart is the variety of flora and fauna it houses. As you stroll through the pathways, you encounter a vast collection of plant species from Vietnam and around the world. From colorful orchids to towering palm trees, the botanical gardens offer a feast for the eyes.

 

Moreover, the Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens offer a range of recreational activities. There is a train ride that takes visitors around the park, providing a convenient way to explore the vast grounds. The park also has picnic areas where families and friends can gather and enjoy a leisurely day outdoors.

 

Overall, the Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens is a captivating park that offers a harmonious blend of nature, wildlife, and recreation. It provides a serene retreat from the bustling city and allows visitors to connect with the beauty of the natural world.

In your country, do elderly and young people do the same things in gardens?

In my country, the activities and interests of elderly and young people in gardens may vary to some extent. While there can be common interests,, such as tending to plants or enjoying the natural surroundings, the specific activities may differ based on individual preferences and physical capabilities. Elderly individuals often engage in more leisurely activities like gardening, -strolling, or simply enjoying the tranquility of the garden. On the other hand, young people may be more inclined towards recreational activities, such as playing sports or organizing social gatherings in gardens.

recreational activities: hoạt động giải trí

individual preferences : sở thích cá nhân

physical capabilities: khả năng thể chất.

 

What are the different types of gardens that exist in your country?

Firstly, we have public gardens and parks, which are typically well-maintained and offer spaces for relaxation, recreation, and social interactions. These gardens frequently have designated areas for picnics, playgrounds, and walking trails. Additionally, botanical gardens are popular, showcasing a wide variety of plant species, including native and exotic flora. Furthermore, we have community gardens where individuals or groups can rent or share plots of land to grow their own plants and vegetables.

botanical gardens: vườn thực vật, bách thảo

In your country, do people refer to plant vegetables, or flowers in a garden?

In my country, people frequently cultivate both vegetables and flowers in their gardens. While flowers are commonly grown for aesthetic purposes, many individuals also cultivate vegetable gardens to grow their own produce. 

 

Can you explain why some people want to grow their own vegetables?

The cultivation of vegetables in private gardens has gained popularity for several compelling reasons. These include the desire for fresh, organic food, the sense of self-sufficiency it brings. Additionally, growing vegetables empowers individuals to oversee the cultivation process, ensuring the use of natural and sustainable methods while minimizing exposure to harmful pesticides or chemicals.

self-sufficiency : tự cung tự cấp

minimizing exposure to: giảm thiểu tiếp xúc

 harmful pesticides or chemicals: thuốc trừ sâu hoặc hóa chất độc hại.

 

Due to an overuse of pesticides in commercial farms, some people say that private gardens should be used for growing vegetables. Do you agree?

Regarding the suggestion that private gardens should be utilized for growing vegetables due to the overuse of pesticides in commercial farms, I tend to agree with this viewpoint. The excessive reliance on pesticides in commercial farming can have detrimental effects on both human health and the environment. By promoting the cultivation of vegetables in private gardens, individuals can have greater control over the quality of their food and reduce their reliance on pesticide-laden produce. Moreover, encouraging more people to grow their own vegetables can foster a sense of environmental responsibility and promote sustainable practices, contributing to a healthier and more eco-friendly society.

sustainable practices: hoạt động bền vững

detrimental effects : tác hại

What do people need to do in order to maintain a private garden?

Maintaining a private garden requires several essential steps. Firstly, regular watering is crucial to ensure the plants receive adequate moisture. Depending on the climate and specific plant requirements, watering may need to be adjusted accordingly. Additionally, proper soil management, including regular fertilization and mulching, helps provide essential nutrients to the plants and improves soil quality. Pruning and trimming plants when necessary promote healthy growth and shape the garden's appearance. Controlling pests and diseases through organic methods or minimal pesticide use is also important. Lastly, regular weeding and cleaning help maintain a neat and tidy garden.

Do you think gardens are good for cities?

Gardens can indeed be beneficial for cities in numerous ways. Firstly, they contribute to the overall aesthetics and greenery of urban areas, enhancing the visual appeal and creating a more pleasant environment for residents. Gardens also provide spaces for relaxation, recreation, and social interactions, serving as communal gathering points. Moreover, they support biodiversity by providing habitats for birds, insects, and other wildlife in urban settings. Additionally, gardens can help mitigate the effects of urban heat islands, reduce air pollution, and improve overall air quality. They also offer opportunities for urban agriculture, promoting local food production and community engagement.

community engagement:  kết nối cộng đồng

aesthetics: tính thẩm mỹ

social interactions: tương tác xã hội

enhancing the visual appeal: tăng cường sự hấp dẫn thị giác

 

Do you think the government should spend more money on creating public gardens?

With regard to the allocation of government funds towards creating public gardens, it is a matter of prioritization. Public gardens have multiple benefits, including those mentioned earlier, such as enhancing the quality of life, promoting well-being, and fostering a sense of community. Investing in public gardens can provide accessible green spaces for all citizens, regardless of income or living arrangements. These gardens can serve as recreational areas, educational spaces, and cultural hubs, contributing to the social fabric of cities. Therefore, it can be argued that the government should allocate sufficient funds to create and maintain public gardens as part of urban planning and development initiatives.
