I am going to talk about Adele. She is a famous singer and songwriter. Recently she has released her fourth album, “30”. This album is successful in many countries and I really love it. 

I have known Adele since her debut album, “19”. It came out over a decade ago. Back then, as a student, I thought her lyrics were too complicated, but I was impressed with her voice and her performance. I guessed this woman would become one of the most well-known artists in the future. Now I know I was so right.

To be honest, I did not listen to her very often in the past. I just started to listen more these days. I think I am getting older, so it is easier to understand what she sings. Also, I know she is an introvert. She doesn’t like people to know much about her private life. So I was shocked when she wrote an album about her divorce. The album I am talking about is “30”.

People say “30” is famous for its honesty and sadness. But I don’t think so. I believe “30” represents bravery when Adele dares to share her truth and turns her sad stories into hope. The last song on the album is about self-love. I agree with Adele. Self-love is important and everyone should come to realize this. I can listen to this album again and again as I can find so many meaningful messages in it.

Từ vựng:

• release : phát hành 
• complicated: phức tạp
• impressed : ấn tượng
• performance: phần trình diễn
• well-known = famous: nổi tiếng
• introvert: người hướng nội
• private: riêng tư
• divorce: ly hôn
• represent: đại diện
• bravery: sự dũng cảm

4.2. Bài mẫu Describe a person you admire band 6.5+

I am going to talk about Adele, a renowned singer, and songwriter. Recently she has released her fourth album, “30”, which has topped the charts in many countries. Although “30” is not as popular in Vietnam as in other nations, I and my friends think it is successful both musically and emotionally.

I have known Adele since her debut album, 19, which came out over a decade ago. Back then, as a student, I found her lyrics complicated to comprehend. However, I still adored her because of her voice and the way she sings. My gut feeling was that this woman would soon become one of the most respected artists of our generation. Now, looking back, I know my instinct was somehow right.

To be honest, I have not always been a huge fan. Not until recent years did I start to listen to Adele again. I guess it is because the older we get, the easier for us to get her lyrical expression. Also, by reading the news and watching interviews about her, I have learned that she is an introvert who is inclined to protect her privacy. Knowing this, I was shocked when learning Adele chose to dedicate the whole of her latest album to her divorce, an event that most people would avoid talking about publicly.

Speaking of Adele’s most recent album, “30” has gained a reputation as a collection of honest, intimate, and heartbreaking tracks about Adele’s failed marriage, yet to me, it is more about how she turns her heartache into an optimistic journey as the final song of the album was about self-love and hope. I believe this is such a powerful message and Adele’s “30” should be listened to by everyone no matter if they are going through some hardships or not. 

Từ vựng:

• Comprehend: hiểu
• Adore: yêu quý
• Gut feeling = instinct: trực giác
• Respected: được trọng vọng/ được ngưỡng mộ
• Lyrical: có tính biểu cảm
• Inclined: có xu hướng
• Dedicate: cống hiến/dành (cái gì) cho cái gì
• Gain a reputation: đạt được tiếng tăm 
• Intimate: thân mật
• Heartbreaking: buồn, tan vỡ
• Heartache: nỗi đau buồn
• Optimistic: lạc quan
• Hardships: khó khăn

4.3. Bài mẫu Describe a person you admire 8.0+

I am going to talk about Adele, a renowned singer, and songwriter. Recently she has made a comeback with her fourth album, “30”, which has topped the charts in many countries. “30” has not gained as much popularity in Vietnam, yet I would say it is her biggest hit to me.

I have known Adele since her debut album, 19, which was released over a decade ago. Back then, as a student, I found her lyrics too complicated to comprehend. Her expressive voice along with her larger-than-life delivery, however, attracted my attention and also was what I thought set her apart. My gut feeling was that this woman would soon become one of the most respected artists of our generation. Now, looking back, I know my instinct was somehow right.

To be honest, I have not always been a huge fan. Not until recent years did I start to listen to Adele again. I guess it is because the older we get, the more we find ourselves relating to her lyrical expression, and the more we appreciate her fragile and authentic self. Also, by reading the news and watching interviews about her, I have learned that she is an introvert who is inclined to protect her privacy. Knowing this, I was shaken up when learning Adele chose to dedicate the whole of her latest album to her divorce, an event that most people would avoid talking about publicly. \

Speaking of Adele’s most recent album, “30” has gained a reputation as a collection of candid, intimate, and heart-wrenching tracks about Adele’s failed marriage, yet to me, it is more about how she transforms her heartache into a searching and uplifting journey, with its moving finale being about self-love and hope. I believe this is the most powerful message from Adele, besides the fact that she was honest, and above all, bold enough to share her vulnerability to all the world listening.

Từ vựng:

• Make a comeback: quay lại (sau một thời gian nghỉ ngơi)
• A big hit: sự thành công
• Debut album: album ra mắt
• Larger-than-life: thu hút
• Delivery: sự biểu đạt
• Set sb apart: khiến ai đó nổi bật
• Fragile: mong manh (dễ tổn thương)
• Authentic: đích thực/ chân thực
• Shaken up: ngạc nhiên, sốc
• Candid: trung thực, thẳng thắn
• Heart-wrenching: phiền muộn
