• Dạng 2 question có thể bố cục bài như sau:
  • Body 1: Trả lời câu hỏi 1 What factors cause this phenomenon? 
    • Main idea 1: we are living in a society that encourages mass production and consumption. 
      • Supporting idea: cheap, short-lived products are flooding the market and making it more convenient and cost-effective to replace things than ever before. 
      • Example: Fast fashion brands produce trendy clothes at low prices, but these clothes are often made from cheap materials and are not designed to last. This encourages people to buy new clothes frequently, even if their old clothes are still wearable.
    • Main idea 2: many people now consider shopping a way to show off their social status and wealth. 
      • Supporting idea: Aggressive advertising has instilled a misconception in many individuals that the possession of cutting-edge devices or products of internationally well-known brands will help them gain the respect and admiration of others. >> IELTS TUTOR hướng dẫn Cách dùng danh từ "individual" tiếng anh
      • Example: A good illustration of this is that today some people have no hesitation in spending thousands of dollars buying the latest iPhone model, even though their current phones are still in good condition. >> IELTS TUTOR hướng dẫn cách dùng even if / even though / even so / even when tiếng anh
    • Có thể tham khảo các ý khác cùng IELTS TUTOR:
      • Main idea: advertising could be the first culprit. (IELTS TUTOR gợi ý cách diễn đạt khác: The major factor leading to the throw away culture is the influence of advertisements in different forms)
      • Supporting idea: 
        • This seeds the interest in consumers which in turn encourage customers to buy the advanced goods mostly with an additional feature to the older ones.
        • Advertisements encourage people to purchase goods and services that they do not really need by delivering a message that possessing the latest version of an item could improve a person’s self-image, confidence and even social status.
      • Example: many of today’s teenagers spend nearly $1,500 buying iPhone X to show that they are wealthy and fashionable even though their old phones are still in good condition and perfectly functional. >> IELTS TUTOR hướng dẫn Cách dùng động từ "spend" tiếng anh
  • Body 2: Trả lời câu hỏi 2 What effects does the phenomenon lead to?
    • Main idea 1: They could easily get into serious debt if they get into the habit of buying the latest, novelty items. >> IELTS TUTOR hướng dẫn Cách dùng danh từ "habit" & Collocation với "habit"
      • Supporting idea: 
        • This is because they need to find different ways to satisfy their desire for shopping, meaning that they have to work harder and have more stress. 
        • Even worse, if they cannot manage their budget skilfully, they are likely to get stuck in a cycle of debt. >> IELTS TUTOR hướng dẫn Cách dùng từ "likely" tiếng anh
      • Example: Many teens are being burdened with thousands of dollars in credit card debt for their unnecessary purchases, which could lead to depression and anxiety. 
    • Main idea 2:  Environmental degradation is another problem facing the throwaway society (IELTS TUTOR gợi ý cách diễn đạt khác: mass production comes with a constantly increasing demand for materials, resulting in the depletion of natural resources)
      • Supporting idea: 
        • Due to excessive production of disposable goods, huge amounts of hazardous waste are being discharged into the environment, which directly contaminates soil and water.
        • The amount of rubbish in the world has been increasing markedly in recent years, leading to the pollution of rivers, oceans and the soil as can be seen in many parts of the world.
      • Example: 

IELTS TUTOR gợi ý bài tham khảo:

In modern society, people are increasingly inclined to discard (v. vứt bỏ hoặc tống khứ đi; throw away or get rid of something) old belongings rather than repair them, in stark contrast to past generations who prioritized sustainability (n. tính bên vững; the ability to be maintained at a certain rate or level). This shift is primarily driven by the rise of mass consumerism (n. xu hướng tiêu dùng ạt à; the practice of buying and consuming goods in large quantities) and societal emphasis on material wealth, leading to significant financial and environmental consequences.>> Form đăng kí giải đề thi thật IELTS 4 kĩ năng kèm bài giải bộ đề 100 đề PART 2 IELTS SPEAKING quý đang thi (update hàng tuần) từ IELTS TUTOR

One major reason for this throwaway culture (n. văn hóa vứt bỏ; a society that heavily relies on disposable products rather than repairing them) is the prevalence of cheaply manufactured (adj. sản xuất giá rẻ; produced at a low cost) goods, which make replacing items more cost-effective (adj. tiết kiệm chi phí; providing good value for the amount paid) than repairing them. For instance, fast fashion (n. thời trang tốc độ; inexpensive clothing produced rapidly by mass-market retailers) brands produce trendy yet low-quality (adj. kém chất lượng; of inferior standard) garments, encouraging frequent purchases. Furthermore, the perception of shopping as a status symbol (n. biểu tượng địa vị; an object that shows someone's social or economic position) has been reinforced by aggressive advertising (n. quảng cáo mãnh liệt; intense marketing strategies aimed at influencing consumer behavior). Many consumers, influenced by these persuasive tactics (n. chiến thuật thuyết phục; strategies used to convince people), purchase state-of-the-art (adj. tối tân; incorporating the newest technology) products to showcase their affluence (n. sự giàu có; wealth and material prosperity), even when their current items remain fully functional.

The consequences of this disposable mentality (n. tâm lý vứt bỏ; an attitude where people prefer to discard items rather than keep or repair them) are both financial and environmental. Many individuals, especially young consumers, fall into financial turmoil (n. khó khăn tài chính; a state of severe money-related distress) due to their desire to keep up with the latest trends, accumulating substantial debt (n. khoản nợ lớn; a large amount of borrowed money). This not only causes stress but also makes it difficult for them to achieve long-term financial stability (n. sự ổn định tài chính dài hạn; a state where one can sustain their financial health over time). Moreover, the overproduction of goods contributes to environmental degradation (n. sự suy thoái môi trường; damage to the natural world), as landfills are filled with non-biodegradable (adj. không phân hủy được; unable to be broken down naturally) waste. The excessive disposal of electronics, plastics, and textiles further exacerbates resource depletion (n. sự cạn kiệt tài nguyên; the reduction of natural resources due to overuse), making this issue unsustainable (adj. không bên vững; unable to be continued at the current rate).

In conclusion, the shift from repairing to replacing products is driven by consumerist tendencies (n. xu hướng tiêu dùng; behaviors centered around purchasing goods) and societal pressures (n. áp lực xã hội; expectations imposed by society), which ultimately lead to dire financial burdens (n. gánh nặng tài chính nghiêm trọng; serious economic difficulties) and severe ecological damage (n. thiệt hại sinh thái nghiêm trọng; major harm to the environment). Without conscious efforts to shift toward sustainable consumption (n. tiêu dùng bên vững; the practice of using goods responsibly), the repercussions of this trend will only worsen.
