1
1. Do you think it is good to teach swimming in school?
2
Yes, definitely.
3
I think teaching swimming at school is extremely important because it's not only a sport but also a life-saving skill.
4
In countries with many rivers or coastal areas like Vietnam,
5
knowing how to swim can help reduce the risk of drowning accidents among children.
6
Besides safety reasons, swimming is also beneficial for physical and mental health.
7
It helps students stay active, improve their stamina, and relieve stress after studying.
8
Personally, I think schools should encourage swimming lessons more seriously, especially for younger students.
9
2. What kinds of water sports are popular nowadays?
10
Well, I think swimming is still the most common water sport
11
because it's suitable for people of different ages and doesn't require too much expensive equipment.
12
Apart from that, activities like surfing,
13
kayaking, jet skiing, and scuba diving have also become increasingly popular,
14
especially in coastal tourist destinations.
15
Many young people enjoy these sports because they're exciting and give them a sense of adventure.
16
In Vietnam, for example, beach-related activities are becoming more common as tourism continues to develop.
17
Why do people like to live near water?
18
I think many people enjoy living near water because it creates a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere.
19
Places near rivers, lakes, or beaches are often quieter and cooler, which can improve people's quality of life.
20
Also, water views are usually considered beautiful, so they may have a positive effect on people's mood and mental well-being.
21
Personally, whenever I visit coastal cities like Da Nang, I feel much calmer and less stressed.
22
In addition, areas near water are often attractive for tourism and business, so they may provide better economic opportunities as well.
23
4. What are the advantages of water transportation?
24
One major advantage is that water transportation can carry large quantities of goods at a relatively low cost.
25
That's why ships are widely used in international trade.
26
Another benefit is that it's often more environmentally friendly than road or air transport,
27
especially when transporting heavy cargo over long distances.
28
Of course, water transportation is usually slower, but for many businesses, reducing costs is more important than speed.
29
So overall, it plays a very important role in the global economy.
30
5. What do you think of the people who waste water?
31
Honestly, I think wasting water is quite irresponsible because clean water is an essential but limited resource.
32
Many people still take water for granted simply because it's easily available in their daily lives.
33
However, in some places, people struggle to access clean water for drinking or farming.
34
So, excessive water waste can create serious environmental and social problems in the long run.
35
Personally, I believe people should become more conscious of their daily habits,
36
even simple things like turning off the tap properly or reducing unnecessary water usage.
37
6. What are the characteristics of goods transported by water?
38
Usually, goods transported by water are heavy, large in quantity, or not urgently needed.
39
For example, products like oil, coal, machinery, construction materials, and agricultural goods are commonly shipped by sea.
40
This is mainly because water transportation is more cost-effective for bulk cargo over long distances.
41
However, since shipping can take quite a long time, it's generally less suitable for perishable or highly time-sensitive products.
42
So overall, water transport is mainly associated with large-scale and non-urgent commercial goods.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
