Bài mẫu IELTS Speaking Part 2: “Describe an activity that made you feel tired"

You should say

When it happened

Where it took place

What the activity was

And explain why it made you feel tired

 

About two years ago, in the midst of the Covid pandemic, my husband and I faced one of the most exhausting days of our lives. We initially had two weeks ahead to prepare for the impending move, but our plans took an unexpected turn when my husband was rushed to the hospital. By the time he returned, we were left with a mere two days before the new tenant was due to arrive. Unfortunately, because of safety concerns and restrictions, hiring a moving service was not an option. So, we took it upon ourselves to pack and move everything, making it an arduous two-day affair and we didn’t even have a chance to sleep.

 

We had a lot of tasks on our plate, such as disassembling furniture, moving it, and packing various items, including fragile belongings and lots of potted plants. What made this particularly exhausting was my husband's recent hospitalization, which left him unable to help with the heavy lifting. So, while he took care of the packing, I had the job of moving everything from our apartment to the elevator and from the elevator to our car, not to mention bringing new items to our new house. We had to repeat this process multiple times, and I honestly lost count of how many trips I made.

 

The physical exertion, coupled with the stress of ensuring our possessions' safety and coping with my husband's injury, made this house move an incredibly fatiguing experience. It truly tested our endurance and determination. In the end, despite the challenges, we successfully relocated our entire household to our new home and spent the following day sleeping and recovering from our exhaustion.

Bài mẫu IELTS Speaking Part 3: “Describe an activity that made you feel tired"

 

 

1. Does learning make people tired today?

Yes, indeed. Learning has become quite exhausting, particularly in the current context with the heavy curriculum. The demand for constant information absorption and the pressure to excel academically have made the process of learning more mentally taxing. For example, in the field of higher education, students are often overwhelmed with extensive reading assignments, conducting research projects. 

heavy curriculum: chương trình học nặng

constant information absorption: tiếp thu thông tin liên tục 

excel :vượt trội

taxing: đánh thuế

 

2. When do people usually feel tired?

It varies depending on personal well-being, but in this digital era, many individuals lead predominantly sedentary lifestyles. Consequently, they often feel exhausted or even lose their breath when engaging in physical activities. The shift toward desk jobs, increased screen time, and reduced physical exercise has made a significant portion of the population less accustomed to physical exertion, leading to fatigue when they need to perform tasks that require physical effort. 

Well-being (n) - Sức khỏe và hạnh phúc

Predominantly (adv) - Chủ yếu, phổ biến

Desk jobs (n) - Công việc ngồi máy tính, công việc văn phòng

sedentary lifestyles: lối sống ít vận động

accustomed to physical exertion: quen với việc gắng sức

 

3. What do you think about striving for learning and striving for sports?

While both sports and learning are undeniably demanding pursuits, their demands diverge significantly. Sports prioritize physical health and endurance, which can become increasingly challenging to sustain as individuals age, making it more tough in the long run. In contrast, learning is a lifelong journey that remains accessible at any stage of life, facilitating continuous personal growth and development, rendering it a more sustainable and enduring endeavor.

diverge : phân ra: 

facilitating : tạo điều kiện thuận lợi

render = make: làm cho
