Tri Duc English Exam Tips
Describe the Physical Reaction
Thay vì chỉ nói “I was happy”, hãy nói về phản ứng cơ thể: **My heart started racing, I was trembling with excitement, I was speechless**. Điều này làm câu chuyện sinh động hơn.
Use Narrative Tenses
Kể chuyện cần dùng nhuần nhuyễn: **Past Continuous (bối cảnh), Past Simple (hành động chính), Past Perfect (việc xảy ra trước đó)**. Ví dụ: “I was sitting… when the phone rang.”
Focus on the “Before and After”
Để nhấn mạnh tầm quan trọng, hãy so sánh cuộc sống của bạn **trước cuộc gọi** (lo lắng, chờ đợi) và **sau cuộc gọi** (an tâm, vui mừng).
The “Unexpected” Element
Sử dụng các trạng từ: **surprisingly, unexpectedly, out of the blue** để tạo kịch tính cho câu chuyện.
