Thank you You have finished the first part of the test Now, let’s move to the third part Task 3: Topic Discussion (2 minutes) CRIME “Discuss TWO main reasons why people commit a crime" One of the first questions asked by law enforcement officials after a crime is committed is “What was the motive?” Crime scene investigators work with detectives and law enforcement to piece together the many parts of the puzzle but understanding the psychology of crime requires an additional skill set In my opinion, there are main reasons why people commit a crime: Subjective reason and objective reason In term of subjective reasons, due to legal awareness from the crime, such as they are not propagated, disseminated the laws, or they not understand the provisions of law as well as poor sense of law of violators For example, people cross a red light when participating in traffic intentionally, being involved in drug trafficking, gambling… Secondly, objective reasons may include family circumstances: a crime lives in poverty, is not taken care from family, school and society which let them take part in social evils Another important reason is social environment such as weak security with many evils, the surrounding friends are bad ones, so they are easily suffered from crime In conclusion, the causes of crime are complex We accept that poverty, domestic abuse, low self-esteem, and alcohol and drug abuse are all connected in explaining why people commit crimes Yet, these factors not offer a comprehensive explanation of exactly why some people resort to crime The reasons why people commit crimes are as unique and varied as the individuals who commit them SHOPPING “Discuss the ADVANTAGES and DISADVANTAGES of shopping ONLINE” Nowadays, in our current society, shopping online becomes so popular to everyone, especially young people The growing business and management of online sales has supporters, but there are also people who are opposed to this type of business In fact, shopping online has its advantages and disadvantages in following factors The first advantage of online shopping is the flexibility of shopping Because the online store has no holidays, closures or any other problems You can also be proactive about shopping time Anytime, anywhere, whether at pm or 12 midnight, you can surf and order, regardless of the opening hours of the shopping center The second advantage is saving time Instead of going to shopping centers for hours, you can simply sit at home and choose your favorite item by clicking It only takes you 10 to 25 minutes to find the item you need, this is so helpful for busy people who not have much time to shop Another advantage of shopping online is that you can compare good prices among various stores In traditional markets, the prices of goods may differ very much With online shopping, to know exactly what you need to buy, you just need a few clicks to surf through some websites, forums, you can easily grasp the best price for your item very quickly However, besides its advantages, shopping online also has disadvantages The clearest disadvantage is the quality of your items Many people are disappointed when they receive the item because it is not like as advertising As a result, they not use or take away because they not fit Sometimes, it take long for you to get items from online stores, such as to days, even one week; while you go shopping directly, you will get soon In conclusion, it can be seen that the society is more and more developing, the support of information technology has helped the online shopping become more popular than ever This form of shopping brings many advantages such as saving time, easily selecting products, comparing prices but also leaving a lot of difficulties for both sellers and online buyers LANGUAGE “Discuss THREE reasons why young people should study English nowadays” As you know, English is an international language all over the world In fact, learning English and master this language will bring you a lot of advantages In my opinion, young people should study English nowadays for the following reasons Firstly, learning English in order to have a better job In the context of world economic integration, foreign investors will pay more attention to Vietnam - an extremely potential market When you have the ability to communicate and work in English, you will certainly have more opportunities to work than others Moreover, the work of foreign companies always has a much better salary than domestic enterprises, you can completely achieve a dreamlike living condition and a perfect career Secondly, when you are good at English, you will have many opportunities to study abroad and work Going further, expanding your vision and knowledge, knowing more cultures and lifestyles, you will surely become a completely different person English is the universal key that opens up all new sources of knowledge Lastly, learning English to challenge yourself English is a process that takes a lot of time and effort This is an interesting challenge for you Sometimes in life, putting yourself in the challenge and trying to overcome it is also a useful method to train your bravery, perseverance and overcoming difficulties This will definitely be good for you in the future In conclusion, knowing English brings us many benefits, but many young people not realize the benefits of English for users Young people must be aware of the power of this learning and have the right learning method will bring the most practical effect HEALTH “Discuss the reasons why staying healthy is more important than having much money” Everyone born in the world has his or her own different purposes, but whatever the purpose, ideally, we all need health to accomplish it That is why we can say that health is the most important for everyone's life In my opinion, money is important, but health is more important than money for the following reasons The first and foremost is that health can’t be bought Money is very powerful Even money can buy a man’s mind and a man himself, literally However, money can not buy a good health Money could only so much as providing you with the best treatments yet it still could not give back your healthy body And the fact shows that many rich people die at a young age Secondly, it is important to have a good health to earn much money If you are suffered from a serious disease, you will feel depressed, bored as a result of unhappiness for doing other activities The only thing you need to is how to cure your disease Instead, is not it feel great if you are healthy and able to enjoy the money you have the hardest times earning? Health will get you anywhere in the world Therefore, with health, you would not only be getting money but a happiness and time too Lastly, health is the greatest wealth Health is important as it matters to your life largely A good health condition would give you many advantages than wealth This is because you could get all money in the world but you would still feel unsatisfied Because you know you could still gain more and more if you put your mind to it as money would never cease in this world Health matters especially when compared to wealth, health would impact your life in every aspect A good health is blissful Many would sacrifice their money just to be healthy again In conclusion, every sickness has its cure Living in a world where wealth matters will teach you how to maintain a good health while you are running for the wealth Focused on getting wealth is unmistakably ambitious and good but remember to take care of your health as health is vital, and maintain it to achieve a great life balance MEDIA “Discuss THREE most notable REASONS why media is important to young generation nowadays” Social media was once an iffy area to venture into for many business Many companies asked themselves whether it was even worth the time and resources or was it really a viable option The mass media has a great influence on people and especially on the younger generation Firstly, everyone is using media The reality is that if the older generations are starting to use social media the impact it has already made on younger generations is completely irreversible Social media has become a part of everyone’s life and it is something that influences their daily life Social media has played a big role with how people interact with each other and it is something that is not slowing down anytime soon Secondly, social media is an amazing way to grow an online brand in leaps and bounds it simply takes creativity, passion and consistency to keep things moving in the right direction If you have not yet entered the social media space take the time to start thinking about a plan to enter the space and start building your online community Regardless of the industry in which you are operating, social media should be an important part of your advertising and public relations strategy Every business should have some kind of social media marketing platform in place, and it should be engaged at least once a week, or better yet, on a daily basis Interacting on social media several times a week can significantly increase the leads being directed to your website at little to no cost Lastly, statistics show that nearly in every minutes spent online is on some kind of social media network The younger generation particularly communicates more and more via social media, and older internet users are also becoming increasingly involved with it With instant access and sharing capabilities, social media marketing blows cold call sales out of the water by reaching more people and making more contacts faster You can build strong relationships with both current and potential customers by commenting on their posts and offering them coupons or discounts on your products and services In conclusion, modern society has created a major mass media revolution with the help of the availability of all the new technologies available such as television, magazine, music, social media and the internet This has given the mass media an enormous power in influencing the perceptions and lifestyles of the younger people Therefore, they should choose the most appropriate approach in order to get the best value that the mass media are contributing to human That’s the end of the test
