IELTS Speaking Part 1: Paper – bài mẫu và câu trả lời hay

Have you made any crafts with paper?

Well, only as a kid.

Whenever our lane flooded in the rainy season, I'd tear pages out of old exercise books and fold them into little boats.

Then my friends and I would race them down the street.

Mind you, I always came home soaked to the skin, so Mum wasn't too thrilled.

Do you often use paper in your daily life?

Less and less these days.

Basically, everything at work is digital now.

The only exception is sticky notes.

I mean, I'm pretty forgetful, so I jot things down and put them up round my monitors.

Otherwise, I'd never keep track of what I'm supposed to be doing.

My colleagues joke that my desk looks like a noticeboard.

Do you usually keep important documents on paper or on a computer?

Both, really.

I keep hard copies of the important stuff, like my rental contract and degree certificate, in a folder in my wardrobe.

Honestly, you can't argue with a signed piece of paper.

Then again, folders go missing, so I also scan everything and back it up online.

Have you ever sent or received a paper letter?

Only once, actually.

In secondary school, I plucked up the courage to write to a girl in my class.

I slipped the letter into her desk one morning.

She never replied, and her friends teased me about it for weeks.

Anyway, handwritten letters are pretty much a thing of the past now.

Do you think we should reduce the use of paper?

I reckon so, yes.

We could definitely cut down on flyers.

People hand them out at traffic lights, and most get thrown away without a second glance.

Having said that, I'd never give up printed books.

I read a lot of history, and I just can't concentrate on a screen in the same way.
