1.1. Did you do puzzles when you were a kid?

Well in fact, I was a huge fan of puzzles when I was younger. Precisely, I am pretty mad about solving rubik’s cubes. You know, I had a collection of different geometrical shapes and colors. It was a marvelous way to challenge your brain and kill your time. 

In addition, I was also into logic puzzle questions, such as investigating crime scenes or word riddles. It helped sharpen my reasoning and memory recollection of experience

  • Be a huge fan of = be mad about s.th = be into s.th: miêu tả thích thay cho LIKE

  • Crime scenes (noun phrase): hiện trường vụ án 
  • Word riddles (noun phrase): câu đố chữ 
  • Sharpen (v): mài giũa 
  • Reasoning (n): lý luận/ lập luận 

1.2. When do you do puzzles, during a trip or when you feel bored?

Well to be honest, it kind of depends really. To be more exact, if I am on my way, traveling to tourist destinations during holidays, then it will be a brilliant choice to carry a rubik’s cube to pass the time. In addition, whenever I feel a bit torpid, I will grab my phone and play some puzzle games. 

  • Pass the time = kill time (verb phrase): giết thời gian 
  • Torpid (a): chán chường 

1.3. What do you like doing, word puzzles or number puzzles? Which one is more difficult for you?

In all fairness, I guess it’s fairly intriguing and challenging especially when it comes to number puzzles. I am pretty fond of finding missing numbers based on the prompted patterns. These brain teasers encourage problem-solving and logical thinking. 

Moreover, word puzzles are also excellent for language learning. You know, these give you a chance to acquaint yourself with new vocabulary or review learnt ones. 

  • Intriguing (a): hấp dẫn 
  • Prompted patterns(noun phrase): các gợi ý về mối liên quan giữa các con số
  • Brain teasers (noun phrase): vấn đề phức tạp kích thích não hoạt động

1.4. Do you think it is good for old people to do puzzles?

Generally, there are two major benefits when inducing the elderly to pick up solving puzzles as a hobby. Firstly, they are a nice approach to help with memory recollection or absent minds, which are common among the aged. 

Secondly, those activities can keep them active. This plays a crucial role in combating mental stimulation, the feeling of loneliness, and depression which could result in dementia

  • Induce (v): khuyên/ khuyến khích
  • Absent minds (noun phrase): người hay quên 
  • Mental stimulation (noun phrase): kích thích trí tuệ 
  • Dementia (n): bệnh sa sút trí tuệ

1.5. Did you do puzzles in your childhood?

Yes, I did puzzles in my childhood. I enjoyed solving jigsaw puzzles, crossword puzzles, and brain teasers. They were not only fun but also helped develop my problem-solving skills and patience.

2.1. Đề bài

IELTS Speaking part 2: Describe a (jigsaw, crossword, etc.) puzzle you have played

Topic Puzzle
Topic Puzzle – IELTS Speaking Part 1, 2, 3

You should say:  

  • What it is like  
  • How easy or difficult it is  
  • How long it takes you to solve 
  • And how you feel about it

2.2. Sample

I’m going to talk about the first time that I played a puzzle called Sudoku in a newspaper. I was 10 or 11 years old at that time and I had an assignment from class to read a newspaper. I had asked my dad to buy me a printed copy “Tuổi Trẻ” newspaper which was one of the most popular and respected news source in Vietnam. Well, it is still popular today but I now read it online.

I remember I was flipping through the pages when I encountered the “puzzle page”. On that page, there was a picture of a big square and it was divided evenly into 81 square boxes so each side of the square has 9 boxes. Some of those boxes had a random number from 1 to 9 in each of them, while some others were blank.

I became interested and I read the instructions. The only rule of this puzzle is to write a number from 1 to 9 in each of the blank boxes until all of them are filled and you must calculate so that in any vertical, horizontal and diagonal line there must not be repeated numbers. 

First, I thought solving it was easy and I began jotting down my answer but there was always a flaw somewhere in my game so I ended up spending a whole day solving that piece of puzzle. Eventually, I finished and I was on cloud nine for a moment but then I remembered that I hadn’t finished my newspaper report. That night, I pulled an all-nighter

2.3. Vocab

  • To flip (v): lật trang giấy/sách
  • Be divided (v) + into: được chia thành
  • Vertical (adj): thẳng
  • Horizontal (adj): ngang
  • Diagonal (adj): chéo
  • Flaw (n): lỗi, điểm chưa hoàn chỉnh
  • Eventually (adv): dần dần 
  • To be on cloud nine (expression): rất sung sướng
  • All-nighter (n): đêm thức trắng

3.1. Why do parents let their children play puzzles? 

Well I guess that has to do with the children’s intellectual development. Parents hope that by giving their children puzzles to solve at a young age, the children can learn to think and analysis the problems they are given. Maybe this gets them into the habit of looking for helpful cues and using them to come up with solutions. This is way better than letting your child watch Youtube videos all day.

  • Intellectual (adj): liên quan đến trí thông minh
  • To analysis (v): phân tích
  • Cue (n): manh mối, gợi ý

3.2. What kinds of puzzles improve people’s intelligence?  

I’m not 100 percent sure but I think the rubik cube is one of the most useful puzzles out there. It could be used to enhance one’s mental capacity. It has a rule that you must follow in order to solve the cube but the cube is different every time so you must come up with different answers each time. It’s very stimulating. 

  • To enhance (v): gia tăng
  • Mental capacity (noun phrase): năng lực trí tuệ

3.3. Why are detective stories attractive to people?

I think, generally, we are fascinated by mysteries and we love solving puzzles. Detective stories are puzzles in story form. So when we read or listen about these stories, we try to come to our own conclusions with the information we are presented with. The process is entertaining and when the answers are revealed, it could be extremely satisfying if we get the right ones.

  • To be presented (v) + with: được cho biết
  • To be revealed (v): được tiết lộ

3.4. Which do you think is better? A detective movie or its original novel?

Oh, this is hard but I have to give it to original written works. While movies can be visually appealing, they aren’t as thrilling as reading a book. In the book, you can have the feelings that you are the main character trying to solve a case. On the other hand, watching a movie is like watching someone else working on a puzzle. It is less captivating to me!

  • I have to give it to + something (expression): tôi phải công nhận 
  • Visually appealing (adv + adj): đẹp mắt  
  • Thrilling (adj):ly kỳ, hồi hợp
  • Captivating (adj): hấp dẫn
