I don’t usually reminisce about the past, since for me, it’s all about the present and what the future holds. But one of the memories that I usually visit is the first time that I went to the aquarium.
I am not exactly someone with a clear sense of time , but I remember that this occasion took place on a rainy day when I was roughly 10 years old. My family were invited for lunch in Times City, and when we were just on the verge of departing, there was suddenly a hard downpour of rain. We decided to just roam around the shopping mall until the rain died out and finally ended up going into the aquarium located there.
So before this day, I had never been to an aquarium and because I was such a huge fan of marine creatures, to say that I was exhilarated was an understatement. Literally, the whole time when we were buying tickets, I was beaming with excitement and was just jumping around my brother and mother. When we started going in, however, I was lost for words, in awe of what I was looking at.
All around me were these huge tanks housing many exotic fish and aquatic animals that I had only seen in books, including jellyfish, Discus and Catlocarpio . There had been no sharks when I arrived, to my disappointment, but I could still recall the beautiful purple and yellow lighting that all these creatures were swimming in, and that, until this day, is still one of the most breathtaking sights I have ever laid eyes on .
The highlight of this visit were sections that showed some animals I didn’t think would be available in the aquarium, such as otters and penguins. The penguins are definitely a spectacle , as they were all adorable and bold, getting near the glasses to interact with visitors many times. I had the time of my life throughout the visit, taking many photos with the animals and just getting to know much more about these specimens than a book could ever teach.
Needless to say, this trip to the aquarium, despite being unplanned, was one of my favorite memories. It nurtured the love that I had always had for animals, as well as inspired me to learn more about the natural world. I think the experience was worth every penny and would recommend it to anyone who wanted a new experience.

1. Do you think people often idealize their childhoods? It's hard to say. I mean, obviously, there are many people who probably look back on their early days with lots of fondness . The troubles that used to keep them up at night back then seem something worth a chuckle only now; what remains is a sense of gratitude for the lovely time they got to spend as an innocent child, free from mundane worries of the adult’s life. So that’s one way these people may idealize their childhoods.
But then, you know, a lot of others may be deprived , lonely kids, who could have been through horrible trauma since young and quite frankly , are likely to have more pessimistic views about their own experiences growing up. I definitely believe what people feel regarding their childhood is becoming polarized in recent decades.
look back on (phr): nhìn lại fondness (n): sự trìu mến keep somebody up at night (phr): khiến ai mất ngủ chuckle (n): cười khẩy gratitude (n): sự biết ơn mundane (a): tầm thường deprived (a): thiếu thốn, túng quẫn trauma (n): tổn thương frankly (adv): nói thẳng ra polarize (v): phân hai thái cực 2. Do you think that childhood is very important for the development of one person? Oh, most definitely. According to many psychologists, childhood years can leave long-lasting impacts on a youngster’s physical and emotional well-being . This is because these are the years of rapid brain development, as most people’s brain structures are formed from birth to age 8.
Thus, the foundation for kids’ cognitive ability relies a lot on these first few years. Just like how an auspicious and supportive environment may promote positive future growth, constantly being put under overwhelming stress and traumatic events may lead to life-long consequences on the children’s health outcomes and potential development.
long-lasting (a): dài lâu well-being (n): sự hạnh phúc và khỏe mạnh cognitive ability (n): năng lực nhận thức auspicious (a): thuận lợi overwhelming (a): quá mức, vượt quá sức chịu đựng traumatic (a): gây tổn thương health outcome (n): hệ quả về mặt sức khỏe 3. What is the difference between the life of children in the past and at the present? Well, children are living in a never-before-seen era now, so the life that they are currently enjoying may also be as different as day and night compared to the past. I believe that the biggest difference lies in the mass exposure of kids to technology
In the past, it was difficult to even see a TV, but now children as small as 5 could know their way around an iPad or even a laptop, which is a blessing since they have the potential to, like, make use of one of humanity’s largest sources of knowledge and entertainment, but also a curse due to the risks that these devices may pose to young children in terms of physical and mental health.
The technological boom is really changing children’s childhoods drastically and more data on the impacts of this trend should be collected to reach a consensus on its societal implications.
never-before-seen era (n): kỉ nguyên chưa từng có as different as day and night (idiom): khác biệt rõ rệt mass (a): rộng lớn exposure (n): sự phơi bày, được tiếp xúc know their way around (phr. v.): biết cách sử dụng technological boom (n): sự bùng nổ công nghệ drastically (adv): mạnh mẽ consensus (n): kết luận implication (n): ẩn ý, bài học Trên đây là bài mẫu IELTS Speaking Part 1, 2, 3 chủ đề Talk about your childhood đầy đủ nhất.
