Cấu trúc bài thi Part 3:

• Thuyết trình theo sơ đồ tư duy (1 chủ đề + 3 gợi ý có sẵn + 1 ý tự nghĩ ra).
• Sau phần thuyết trình, trả lời 3 câu hỏi thảo luận mở rộng (Further Discussion).

Now I will talk about the benefits of waking up early.

Firstly, waking up early helps us keep a healthy diet because when we get up early, we have enough time to prepare a good breakfast with a lot of energy for the whole day. For example, we can cook healthy food instead of skipping breakfast or eating fast food. As a result, we can stay healthier and have more energy to study or work.

Secondly, waking up early helps us feel fresher because our mind is relaxed and comfortable after having enough sleep. Therefore, we are ready to start a new day with a positive attitude. From my perspective, beginning the day early always makes me feel more confident and motivated.

Moreover, waking up early can increase work productivity. When we wake up early, we feel fresher after having a healthy breakfast, so we can work more effectively and concentrate better. For instance, many successful people have the habit of getting up early because they believe it helps them manage their time more efficiently.

Finally, in my opinion, waking up early also makes me feel happier and gives me more time to complete my daily tasks. If I wake up early, I will have enough time to exercise, read books or plan my schedule before going to work. As a result, I can enjoy a more balanced and productive lifestyle.

To sum up, waking up early has a lot of benefits such as keeping a healthy diet, feeling fresher, increasing work productivity and having more time to enjoy daily activities.

Bước 1: Now I will talk about The benefits of self-study skill.

Bước 2: Firstly, More independence because it is beneficial.

Bước 3: Secondly, Better time management because it is useful.

Bước 4: Last but not least, Better academic performance because it is important.

Bước 5: To sum up, The benefits of self-study skill such as More independence because it is beneficial, Better time management because it is useful, Better academic performance because it is important.

1. Do you usually wake up early?

→ Yes, I do because it is healthy and beneficial. In the past, I sometimes got up late, but now I usually wake up at around 6 a.m. because I have to go to work. As a result, I have enough time to prepare breakfast and start my day in a positive way.

2. Why do some people stay up late?

→ Some people stay up late because they are busy with their work or studies. For example, students often stay up late to finish their homework, while adults may have to work overtime. However, staying up late for a long time is not good for their health because it can make them feel tired and less productive the next day.

3. What should people do to develop the habit of waking up early?

→ From my perspective, people should go to bed earlier and avoid using their phones before sleeping. If they sleep early every night, they will wake up more easily the next morning. Moreover, setting an alarm clock and following a regular daily routine can help them build this healthy habit in the long run.
