B. Bài mẫu chủ đề Sleep – IELTS Speaking


Part 1
1. What time do you go to bed?

Actually, it depends. If I have nothing much to do, I’ll hit the sheet at around
10.30 or 11 o’clock to have a beauty sleep. But unfortunately, there are many
times I have to burn the midnight oil to finish my work on time, so I tend to
go to bed really late, at around 1 or 2 am.

2. Do you have a nap during the day?

Yes, I do. I always try to take a nap to brace for the tasks in the afternoon.
Only 30 minutes for a nap can really recharge my energy. And to be honest, I
think everyone should do that; it’s really good for health.

3. Do you think sleep is important?

Yes, absolutely. Sleep plays an important role in the function of the brain. An
adequate sleep helps to improve memory and learning, increase attention and
creativity, and aid in making decisions.

4. Do you like to get up early in the morning?

Yes. Actually, I’m an early bird, you know. I always enjoy the sun pouring
through my window and the fresh air. Getting up early to do physical exercises
and have a breakfast at home make me feel full of energy.

5. How to have a good sleep?

I guess people have different ways to get a sound sleep. But if you ask me,
I would say firstly, thriller or horror movies need to be avoided. They somehow
make you feel nerve-racking instead of relaxed. Also, it is advisable that a
good sleep lasts for 7-8 hours so staying up late is not preferable. And lastly,
instead snacking or having a big meal before going to bed, a cup of chamomile
tea is utterly a better option.
