(Topic: gender inequality bất bình đẳng giới tính) – gender equality: bình đẳng giới tính In many parts of the world, there is now greater equality between working men and women Nevertheless, women still tend to earn less and enjoy fewer promotions than men Some would argue that this situation will correct itself over time However, in my view, there are ways that can be done to deal with the problem constructively One possible approach would be for governments to force employers to promote the same number of men and women and to pay them the same salaries This would certainly tackle the problem quickly However, measures like this would probably be seen as excessive and difficult to enforce A more feasible approach would be for governments themselves to take the lead by ensuring that their male and female employees earn the same for equivalent work and that women are promoted fairly This would help to establish gender equality as a norm and set a good example for companies in the private sector Countries, such as Sweden and Iceland which have done this are often regarded by others as socially-advanced models To further encourage equality, companies could be required to publish figures on the rank and average earnings of men and women in their workforce Evidence of large inequalities would create a bad impression In order to avoid bad publicity, companies might consider it worthwhile to pay fairer wages and promote more women to management positions In short, It is true that the problem of gender inequality in the workforce will probably not be solved quickly However, that is not a reason to avoid taking action Governments can encourage change by showing the way forward and taking advantage of the need for companies to present themselves as fair and reasonable Problems - Solutions Topic 2: People today move to new cities or new countries more than ever before What challenges (thử thách) = problems they experience? What strategies (chiến lược)= solutions are there to meet these challenges? Relocate, relocation (chuyển chỗ ở) People today are clearly more mobile than in the past This is largely due to modern technology which makes traveling and communicating easier and quicker Often people re-locate to large cities for employment; some people study in English–speaking countries Whatever the reason, moving away from home may create many challenges, both practical and social which can be solved in different ways Firstly, there are practical problems such as finding accommodation, managing finances, shopping and so on These might present challenges to someone who has not lived independently before In addition, adapting to a new city environment includes understanding the public transport system, possibly in another language, while trying not to get lost The best strategy for minimizing such anxious moments is to prepare in advance as much as possible Thus it might be helpful to get advice from someone familiar with the area There are also publications such as travel guides to overseas countries which give tips and useful information A city street directory is also very handy Ideally, sharing accommodation with someone who is familiar with the city, or staying in a ‘home stay’ on arrival; in a new country, may overcome many of these problems Home stay families or ‘share mates’ will provide company (người đồng hành) and be able to explain aspects of the new city or culture that may seem strange at first There are also social and emotional issues to deal with, like loneliness or problems with the language Moreover, starting a new job or course may be stressful at first Generally, however, there are organizations such as overseas students’ associations in an educational institution, or other sports or hobby clubs where it is possible to meet people and make friends In conclusion, leaving home for a new city or country brings new comers both practical and psychological problems However, if people plan well in advance, these challenges can be transformed into an adventure Causes – Solutions Topic 3: Causes of obesity among young people and possible solutions causes B1 children have an unhealthy diet B2 children follow an unbalanced nutritional diet -

effects of technology in the classroom Nowadays there is an increasing use of technology such as computers and laptops in teaching and learning While some people think that this trend is positive, others believe that it has several drawbacks This essay will discuss both good and bad effects of technology in education On the one hand, there are some benefits of technology in education First of all, learners and teachers can get a lot of information by using the Internet For example, students can look for information to improve their knowledge or their homework while teachers access information to make lesson plans As a result, they can develop research skills and computer skills which are important for their future jobs Secondly, learners can take online courses easily Online courses help them save time and money Besides, it is convenient to learn online because they can learn every time and everywhere Lastly, using computers or laptops makes learners more engaged in learning For example, some teachers use Powerpoint slides to make lessons more interesting On the other hand, using technology in education has some disadvantages Firstly, it decreases real human interaction For example, in some online courses, students can not discuss the topics with their classmates or ask teachers questions directly; therefore, they not improve their soft skills such as communication skills and teamwork skills Besides, using technology can distract students from learning When spending too much time using the Internet, they might not have enough time to finish their homework Finally, learners can get wrong information on some websites This is because anyone can post information without being checked In conclusion, technology brings learners and teachers both benefits and drawbacks In my opinion, there are more positive effects than negative ones Therefore, it is advisable that people use it in a proper way to make use of its merits The effects of stress and solutions In recent years, stress has become a serious problem which has negative effects on human’s lives This essay will examine the consequences of stress ad recommend several measures to deal with it There are various potential impacts of being under pressure The most obvious effect is that it leads to severe health problems To illustrate, people may suffer from mental illnesses like depression, anxiety disorders as well as physical problems such as headache and tiredness As a result, they lose concentration on doing everything, which impacts their work and study badly In addition, strain leaves negative effects on people’s behaviours For instance, it results in bad habits like drug abuse and alcohol addiction, which is harmful to their health Moreover, they may show violence and aggression, which makes them have negative actions and form bad behaviors Last but not least, pressure influences people’s relationship negatively Specifically, those who are under pressure not want to interact with others, so they drift apart There are various measures which could be taken to release stress The first solution is that people get regular physical activity For instance, participating in outdoor activities such as playing sports, swimming and jogging enables them to refresh their mind after stressful hours at school or work Another solution is that people have a balanced diet To be more specific, a diet including a good intake of fruits and protein allows them to stay healthy in order to manage stress The final method to escape from pressure is that people keep work-life balance Having a full sleep is a great way to not only boost their energy but also release tension In summary, although negative effects of stress are various, there are effective stress management strategies It is important that people lead a healthy lifestyle to overcome stress of a busy life in modern society More and more people today are choosing to travel internationally Many people believe that the cost of travelling overseas has become cheaper these days and it has boosted the tourism industry in many countries Others say that a rise in middle class income coupled with advances in aviation result in the rising travelling around Discuss the reasons for the rising international travel In recent years, the world has witnessed a massive rise massive rise in the number of people who travel overseas for different purposes This trend is a positive development to the growth of many fields, especially tourism industry My essay will examine factors that lead to the increase in international travel The first and foremost cause is that travelling internationally becomes more convenient than ever before With the advancement in aviation, airlines offer passengers more international flights The growing demand for travel enables the cost of air travelling to come down Purchasing affordable airfares encourages more people to enjoy vacations in well- known destinations overseas Besides, more online platforms for travel research and bookings make it easy for people to find out information about journeys and book flights The second reason for the trend of worldwide travel is that there is a rise in the number of households with higher income It means that many families can earn more money to afford international travel Moreover, the higher quality of life enables people to explore several new ways to spend some time and money One of the most interesting ways is to go sightseeing in the most popular tourist attractions abroad The last reason is the growth in global trade opportunities In a globalized world, multinational corporations open their offices and branches in different countries As a result, people who work for these corporations have to get involved in overseas travel on a regular basis Furthermore, some people set up their own business abroad, which increases worldwide travel In summary, it is obvious that there are three factors that contribute to rising international travel If the global economy becomes more developed, travelling abroad will skyrocket Involvement of youth crimes is increasing at an alarming rate Recent figures show an increase in violent crime among youngsters under the age of 18 Some psychologists claim that the basic reason for this is that children these days are not getting the social and emotional learning they need from parents and teachers Discuss the reasons for violent crimes among youngsters and suggest some solutions It is true that youth crime rate is increasing very quickly all over the world Violent crime is very common among young people under the age of 18 My essay will discuss reasons for this problem and suggest some solutions to deal with it There are several reasons for violent crime among youngsters Firstly, the young lack attention from their parents Nowadays, financial burden in modern life makes most parents too occupied working so they not have time to spend with their children Due to limited interaction, parents have fewer opportunities to educate children about moral qualities for example, how to behave well in the society The second reason is that young people lack knowledge about social and emotional values In fact, teachers concentrate on delivering academic knowledge to students rather than teaching them about social and emotional qualities to improve a person As a result, the young might commit crimes including violence The last cause is many youngsters get addicted to using social media For example, they access violent videos or play video games, which leads them to imitate violent actions and have negative behaviors in real-life situations There are various methods which could be taken to address this problem The first way is that adults pay more attention to children’s social and emotional issues They should spend more time instructing children on behaviors which are positive for their personal development Additionally, they need to warn children about negative consequences of violent crime Furthermore, children’s use of social media should be under parents’ supervision The last measure is that the government gives more severe punishments to violence cases Consequently, there is a declining number of criminals related to violence which results in a lower crime rate in society In conclusion, there are factors contributing to violent crime including adults’ insufficient attention to children, children’s lack of social and emotional learning and the overuse of social media among youngsters Families, schools and the government could take suggested actions to cope with this problem Several studies indicate that brain drain phenomenon has become a common trend in developing countries It means that many developing countries continually lose a significant number of high-level educated workers, especially scientists, engineers, academics and physicians who decide to move and stay abroad in more developed countries in search of higher income and a better standard of living It is believed that this phenomenon causes a huge financial loss to the home countries Thus, it is important to the home countries to find the solution to overcome this problem immediately Discuss the causes of brain drain and suggest several solutions to deal with the problem In recent years, there has been an increasing number of a highly educated and skilled professionals migrating to more developed countries This phenomenon is regarded as brain drain which has negative impacts on home countries This essay will discuss some reasons for this worrying trend and recommend several solutions to tackle the problem There are several factors leading to brain drain The first and foremost cause is that developed nations offer a higher standard of living To be more specific, these countries provide sufficient and high-quality facilities, which enables people to lead a more fulfilling life In contrast, in developing areas, there are inadequate infrastructure and outdated facilities, resulting in a low quality of life Moreover, people may have to encounter various social problems like water shortage, traffic congestion, poverty Another factor causing brain drain is that people desire to pursue advanced studies and research in more developed countries To illustrate, they are able to access quality education system as well as experience professional learning and research environment As a consequence, they obtain higher level of education, which benefits their future life Last but not least, highly trained labours have more chances to boost their career prospects For example, in developed countries, there are numerous famous corporations which provide people with better employment opportunities; consequently, they can get a well-paid job and get promotions There are several strategies which the governments could take to slow down brain drain In the first place, the governments could invest more budget in enhancing living conditions, improving education system, increasing political stability More specifically, they promote the availability of more institutes for research and higher education Another solution is that the government should encourage enterprises to provide more favorable working conditions and create more job opportunities for well-qualified workers so that these people can develop their talents in the best way For instance, high-level skilled workers should be paid a competitive salary based on their capacity This allows a country to keep talented people who contribute to the development of the country In summary, there are various causes of the growing rate of brain drain in developing countries The governments should implement aforementioned policies to promote brain again and limit brain drain Task 2: Write an essay to an educated reader on the causes of obesity and possible solutions.
