Trang 11 Advantages and disadvantages of living in a city and in the countryside
A lot of people decide to move to the countryside nowadays However, there are still many people who prefer stay in the town and say that they couldn't live anywhere else So which place is better to live? Let's think about both of them
I would like to start with the advantages and disadvantages of the big city life Living in such a big city has a lot of advantages There is a big offer how to spend free time There are a lot of theatres, concerts and other ways of entertainment There is always a lot to do and visit! There are a lot of possibilities of shopping In various shopping centres and galleries you can buy whatever you want What is more, there are a lot of working places in a city Many big international companies have their locations in the cities, so
it is much easier to find a job in a big city Moreover, the public transport is developed quite well, so the commuting to work isn't a problem On the other hand, there are some disadvantages of living in a big city Cities are very crowded Everywhere there are crowds: on the pavements and in the buses What is more, the traffic is heavy and city's car parks are always very full Sometimes it is very difficult to get from a given place to another It may take hours! Moreover, the other disadvantage is the safety in a city, but actually the lack of safety There is a big crime rates in cities So you have to be very careful at nights when you leave your home
I think that in the country the problem of crime isn't so big There aren't so many people and they usually know each other well The possibility of robbery or other crime is relatively lower Life in the countryside is more peaceful and the life is also slower What is more, it is less stressful There isn't any time pressure and the traffic conditions are better A lot of places you may reach on foot
The city offers a lot: there are huge buildings, skyscrapers or some historic monuments On the other hand, in the countryside there are a lot of breathtaking sceneries, space and other amazing places such as forests, lakes or mountains Moreover, people in the countryside are quite different than people living in the city: they are relaxed, friendly and family-oriented People in the city are like ants They are always in hurry, busy and out of time In the country people enjoy lives and take pleasure in their daily activities As
a disadvantage of living in the countryside we may consider the commuting problems People who stay in the countryside often have to work in the nearest cities, so it may take a lot of time to get to it However, the living costs in the country are much lower, the variety of products in shops is smaller
To sum up I would like to say that both countryside and city have some advantages and disadvantages Both city and country may be a good place to live However I will stay in the city till I retire Then I would like to move to the country to have a rest I think that everyone of us will take into consideration all aspects before he decides to move to the country
2 The advantages and disadvantages of living in the country
Living in the countryside has a lot of advantages, but also many disadvantages As the advantage we can consider the fact that the country is less polluted and the traffic isn't so heavy You are fit and you don't need to worry about your health condition, because in the countryside the air and water are so clean
In the country there are many plant species There aren't any huge blocks of flats, modern skyscrapers or bothersome traffic jams In the country you are free to admire the breathtaking landscapes such as huge meadows, peaceful hills or forests You can enjoy walking in the forest and picking mushrooms or hunting Another advantage is that you may easily build a big house and the garden, because charges for ground are much lower than in the suburbs Moreover, living in the countryside is cheaper than it is in the city, so you probably may afford many other things, because the prices are lower What is more, you can invite your friends to the barbecue organized in your garden It would be great! The other positive side is the safety In the rural area the crime rate is much lower There aren't a lot of housebreaks and the
Trang 2estates They always react when something strange is happening Country life is very peaceful and silent You will enjoy the feeling of peace
However, there are a lot of positive aspects of living in the country side, there are also some disadvantages Living in the country is slower People don't need to hurry and have a lot of time People in the country don't have to work so many hours as they do in the city On the other hand, they don't earn so much money Moreover, there aren't such interesting things to do during free time The unemployment rate is also much higher than in the city The problem may be also the communication If you don't have your own car, you may have problem how to commute to work The same problem concerns the access to the hospitals, schools, police stations and shops, which are usually located far from the village Last of all, there are some dangers connected with country life such as heavy snowfall or rainfall
To sum up, I think that living in the country may have a lot of advantages such as fresh air, breathtaking landscapes and comfort, but a lot of people decide to stay in the city, due to the fact that the life in the town is easier The easy access to shops and other institutions are the great advantage
3 The advantages and disadvantages of television
Nowadays many people all over the world spent most of their free time watching television; but since its appearance, television has brought to man many advantages as well as disadvantages
First, television plays an important role in our daily activities: it keeps us informed of all current affairs in the world Events through television are more vivid than those through books and magazines Second, television helps us enrich our spiritual lives Our knowledge is broadened in many ways.Through language teaching programs, we can learn the language we like such as: English, French, German, Chinese, Japanese and so on We can become skilful and clever at doing jobs, making cakes or arranging flowers through practical courses taught on television
Finally, television is a source of recreation Humorous stories and funny films bring us minutes of relaxation after a hard day’s work For me, sitting comfortably in an arm-chair to watch an international football match on television is more interesting than having to queue for tickets at a crowded stadium Apart from its advantages, however, television also brings lots of disadvantages to viewers too
First, television viewers gradually become passive in their action Television may be a splendid media
of communication, but it prevents us from communicating with each other or with the outer world The world seen through television is only the restricted one: It separates us from the real world Second, television, with its fascinating power, makes people of all ages sink into oblivion: whole generations are growing up addicted to the telly Pupils and students are so absorbed in television that they neglect their school activities Food is left uneaten, homework undone and lessons unprepared Housewives are so keen on watching television that they neglect their duties toward their husbands and their children Instead of watching television, we may use the time for a real family hour Without the distraction of television, we may sit around together after dinner and actually talk to one another to know and like each other better
Finally, the evil influence of television on the young generation is inevitable; it encourages them to commit crimes Spectacles of sadism and violence on television lead them to robbery, theft, rape and murder
In a nutshell, television is useful to us when we know how to use it: Be careful not to overindulge ourselves in it and use it in a discerning manner
Trang 34 Advantages And Disadvantages Of Community Colleges And Universities
A degree from a university means many thing to many different people Only you can define the importance of a degree such as this to you and only you can determine whether or not now is the time for you to pursue a university degree
If you are unsure about how advantageous a university degree could be to your life let's look at some
of the advantages to a university education in relationship to a community college education
Money The first obvious advantage of a university education would be in future earning potential A four-year degree trumps a two-year degree almost every time
There would have to be exceptional circumstances for someone with a two-year degree to earn more over the course of a lifetime than someone with a four-year degree in the same exact field
While a degree does not guarantee employability, it does improve the odds as well as the income potential that is associated with the field you are entering into If you have a two-year degree the decision
to continue your educational pursuits can be a tough one but it is well worth the effort in the end
Housing This is another distinct advantage that universities offer over community colleges In fact, many universities are now offering housing opportunities to students with families in addition to those students who have no families
Colleges and universities are offering all kinds of value when it comes to housing and meal plans A great deal of the college experience is missed when you do not live on campus For this particular reason students wishing to enjoy the experience that dorm life provides often consider universities over community colleges
Diversity This is another key component that is often missing at the community college level International students find no real price breaks between universities and community colleges so they tend
to opt for the housing and cultural atmosphere that universities present rather than going with the limiting educational, residential, and cultural experience offered by many community colleges
You will find students of different races, religions, cultures, and nations on the university level-far more than will typically be seen in a community college unless you are attending community college in a very culturally diverse city such as New York
Culture This is something that is often lacking on the community college level, as they are largely commuter campuses You will not see quite the opportunity to experience art, music, the theater, and other wonderful experiences that universities pride themselves in offering to their students
There is nothing quite like the cultural offerings of most large universities and if you get the opportunity I hope you will take the time to stop and experience some of the wonderful things that being
in a university community present you with an opportunity to experience
Research opportunities On a university level you will have the opportunity to participate in research projects with certain professors if your prove yourself worthy and express an interest This is something that isn't as likely on the community college level as most professors in a community college are dedicated
to teaching rather than research You will find that the experience of working on a large-scale research project is unlike anything you are likely to experience again if you ever get the chance Confidence There is nothing quite like a college degree from a university to help you become a more confident person both personally and professionally This is something that really can't be achieved on the community college level but can only be experienced by getting a degree from a university
If you lack confidence when dealing with others or in your career, I hope that you will find that your university education is just the thing to help you feel more confidence on all levels of your life
These are just a small sampling of the many benefits of attending a university over a community

I went travel by transport such as: ferry, bus, train, motorcycle…etc, but I am not to travel by airplane With the various methods of travel nowadays, traveling by airplane is by far the most convenient and enjoyable method I thing that is has the advantages and disadvantages when who travel by plane Firstly, people can now travel from one place to another quickly with the efficient plane For example when who by ship, that is can spends weeks or months while a plan can spends hours or days It is more comfortable to ride in when the destination is far away Time-saving is very important especially for businessmen or who important

I went travel by diff means of transport such as: ferry, bus, train, motorcycle…etc, but I am not to travel by not by airplane With the various methods of travel nowadays, traveling by airplane is by far the most convenient and enjoyable method I thing think that is has the there are advantages and disadvantages when who of traveling by airplane.( theo mình có thể viết However, there are advantages and disadvantages of traveling by airplane)
Bạn nên làm rõ phần nào là advantage, phần nào là dis, nếu để như lúc đầu thì khá là confusing đấy :) Firstly The first advantage is that ,people can now travel from one place to another quickly with the efficient plane For example when who by ship, that is can spends traveling by ship can take weeks or months while a (đang nói general ko nên dùng "a") by plan can spends may take just hours or days It is more comfortable to ride in when the destination is far away :question::question: mình ko hiểu câu này lắm Time-saving is very important especially for businessmen or who important people with important jobs
Secondly, it has long been our dream that we can fly same bird Only when the airplanes appeared, people can fulfill their dream, although sitting on a bird-machine Secondly, the appearance of airplanes has fulfilled people's long-lasting dream to be able to fly like birds or we have been able to make our dream of flying like birds come true since the arrival of airplane
Finally, airplanes contribute a lot in the development of globalization as people from different places can now commute communicate with one another from one place to another more efficiently in a short period of time This can bring people from different countries close together and hence increase help to improve the communication and relationships among different nations
Trang 5But Nevertheless, like the coin has 2 sides, airplane also has some disadvantages such as ("such as" đi trc' dấu ":" thì fải ^^) There is always the a ( possibility chưa xác định nên dùng "a" instead of "the") possibility a terrorist will hijack a plane and then using that is a use bomb as well Sometimes airplane can
be cause aviation accidents and incidents For example the incident happening on September 11, 2001 which attacked at the twin towers of the word trade center (World Trade Centrer viết hoa ) in New York City Or or one airplane French 447 with 216 passengers and 12 employees of airplane was missing in the Atlantic Ocean on January 1/2009, an aircraft with 216 passengers and 12 employees of airplane(mình For all these reasons, Despite of some of its disadvantages (bạn đưa ra 1 số disadvantages nên ko thể kết luận "for all these reasons" và chắc chắn như "definitely") the invention of airplanes is definitely essential useful and meaningful to the people of the world
Good points actually nhưng làm rõ structure 2 phần hơn nhá Also, theo mình thì nên để advantage và dis cần bằng, add thêm some points vào disadvantage, eg: airplane uses such a lot of fuels and contributes
to global warming; airplane is complicated and takes a lot of time to check-in as well as boarding, etc :69:
