IELTS Speaking Part 2

Describe a situation that you got a little angry.

You should say:

where it happened

when it happened

who you were with

and why you felt angry?

I do not usually get angry and definitely not (1) short-tempered person who get angry easily for silly reasons. Yet there was a time when  I was so angry with my friends that we didn’t talk for some days.  I have a friend coming from India and that was his first trip to Vietnam . I was so excited to meet him and I even asked my friend to join. We were both (2) eager to that day and set up so many plans. After having breakfast , I received a call from my friend that she’d be late for 10 minutes. I was a bit nervous that she would  not (3)show up but I still (4) assured her that we could wait and I didn’t want to rush her. My friend is the one who always comes late so I reminded her that the plan wouldn’t work out without her. We waited for her for 40 minutes then she told me she couldn’t make it. Moreover, the reason she gave was unacceptable. She told me that she had to stay at home for her upcoming exam. I was(5)  furious and so embarrassed with my friend. He didn’t say anything but I know he was unhappy. She made us wait for an hour and (6) made a bad impression for a new friend. I tried to (7)calm the water and changed the plan to (8) make up for my friend.  That was the time when I was about to (9) lose my temper and I don’t want to be in that situation again

IELTS Speaking Part 3

1. Do you think people like expressing or hiding emotion?

I think that it depends on gender. It is very obvious that men and women differ in the way they each (1) express their emotions. While women tend to (2) confide with their friends about everything, men are likely to (3) hide it away. For instance, women can cry over broken up for a long time and they still remember how does it feel later on. Men just go angry and bitter about the relationship for a while

2. Do people in your country show or hide emotions?

It’s hard to say as different people have different way to express their emotions. I guess the young tend to express emotions easier than the elderly. They aren’t mature enough so they smile when they are happy and cry when they are (1) blue. They express (2)  raw emotions  even  negative ones.  On the other hand, adults or old people are less likely to share some emotions like depression or confusion. Maybe they don’t want to make others worried so they (3) disguise their feelings

3. What do you think about people who hide their emotions?

I think they are emotional independence. They aren’t easily controlled  by emotion no matter how negative it is . Some people are vulnerable so if they mask it, they’ll be more optimistic and stronger. That’s why  they don’t want their true emotions be seen by others and keep it private.

4. How can the kids recognize emotions of others?

I’ve never thought about this question before..  I guess they can recognize by (1) facial expressions or(2)  body language, tone of voice. The kids will know how to (3) identify emotions when they learn how to (4) read those expressions
