of air pollution because they burn a lot of oil and release it into the air Secondly, more and more young people are moving to big cities so that the population is more and more crowded The crowded population causes traffic tram and many pollutant gas are emitted by vehicles And thirdly, the large areas of land for growing green trees are shrinking instead of building infrastructure such as roads, departments, financial and entertainment centers All we know, trees bring pure air, on the reverse, no trees cause air pollution In conclusion, air pollution reduces the beauty of nature and is

family is a popular tendency in modern life due to various factors such as increasing urbanization, scarcity of living space in big cities, a desire for more privacy, the impact of westernization, and so on Living in a nuclear family is advantageous because of the following reasons Firstly, many young people desire more freedom and privacy Couples in a nuclear family take complete responsibility for running and taking care of the family instead of being affected and the absolute control of the eldest family member Secondly, sharing the living space with many family members can often lead to conflicts, misunderstandings, and unpleasant situations Several couples would rather live separately to avoid multiple conflicts and undercurrents in family relationships Thirdly, shouldering family responsibilities together makes husband and wife appreciative of each other For the children, nothing works better than watching their parents have open conversations, care for, understand, and love

reasons First of all, living in an extended family can reduce the family’s money pressure For example, instead of one person paying for a bill, it is now more economical to have a group of people pays for the bill Secondly, it also encourages grandparents and children to spend time together and add value to each other’s lives I mean, children have the advantage of growing up with multiple family members and also learning about caring for their elders, while grandparents feel happier when living with grandchildren Finally, we can find it much easier and simpler to care for and support each other when living in the same home This way, we can share the love, responsibilities, mutual support with the family members 12 In conclusion, extended family living has many benefits, but it can also become challenging and put pressure on family relationships One of the best ways to avoid any potential conflict is to live together in a home with a layout that gives each member of the family much-needed privacy, space, and comfort 13/ “Facebook brings more disadvantages than advantages” Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view Facebook can consider as a diary, entertainment, information, or business website Facebook also allows us to interact with others, make new friends, or find old friends Although Facebook brings us some advantages, there are more adverse effects Firstly, there are many, who are addicted to Facebook People just start living in this virtual world & spend hours & hours on the Facebook cause of bad grades on the student's results and many employees waste their time surfing FB Furthermore, this problem keeps you away from real people and eventually creating problems with real-life relationships Secondly, Facebook has many problems related to privacy and criminal issues Opening an account, making a fake profile & ID is simple for anyone on Facebook Therefore, many cases have been reported about these fake accounts related issues such as bullying, stalking, blackmailing, due to which many lives have been destroyed especially, teens Finally, Facebook creates opportunities for many groups & pages on Facebook to abuse or violate other religions, personalities, nations, etc This kind of activity disturbs the social environment and causes serious social problems In conclusion, Facebook

14/ “University students’ working part-time brings many benefits.” Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view Nowadays, the number of students who work part-time during school time is increasing remarkably due to working part-time brings many benefits for them There are some benefits that students should work part-time Firstly, many students lack practical experience before entering the workforce because they have been learning in the education systems which do not teach skills as they just focus on theory Through part-time jobs, young people will have ample practical experience in solve a wide range of problems of today's jobs 13 Secondly, students can earn some money to spend on daily expenses thanks to a part-time job There has been an increase in the number of students leaving college or university because they don’t have enough money to pay for training fees in recent years Finally, working part-time can encourage students to improve time management skills which are difficult to develop without activities outside the colleges or universities In conclusion, students can gain several benefits from working part-time Besides getting more practical experiences and earning money to spend on their tuition fee and daily expenses, they can develop their time management skills, hopefully preparing them for a promising future 15/ “Children’s use of smart phones should be banned.” Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view Well, this is a debate that has been argued time and again, I think, although there might be a few advantages of children having mobile phones, they also have downsides that we should consider before deciding whether to allow our children to use cell phones In terms of disadvantages, firstly, many studies recommend that mobile phones should not be given to children below sixteen years of age because their brain is too sensitive to withstand the effects of mobile radiation that can cause cell damage and children can have serious health problems Secondly, cell phones can impact negatively their attention ability when children carry mobile phones to their schools They talk on the phone and send messages or play games during school hours They fail to concentrate on what is being taught in class because they are more interested in their mobile phones Finally, almost all smartphones today have capable of internet access and h In my opinion, we should not allow children to use cell phones Even Bill Gates mentioned in one of his interviews that he did not allow his children to use the phone before they were 14 years old Although there might be a few advantages of children having mobile phones, there are more adverse effects 16/ “People have different reasons to watch movies at the cinema” Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view It is no coincidence that

experience The average cinema screen at 826” and surround sound in the cinema is always professionally set up for the audience the optimum experience Secondly, watching a movie in a cinema is not only enjoying a movie but also a great way to connect with the emotions of those around you It is a particularly enjoyable emotional experience Finally, the cinema is always on the list of dating places for many young people It's a great place to socialize and date In conclusion, despite the convenience the smart devices provide for movie-watchers, I firmly believe that cinemas remain an essential option, especially for movie-goers, who prefer experience over convenience 17/ “There are many reasons for people to take up a hobby” Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view There are many reasons why we should have at least one hobby and pursue it, here are some reasons Firstly, hobbies help us relax, relieve stress, find pleasure by keeping us engaged in something we enjoy that is unrelated to work, housework, or other responsibilities Second, hobbies help reduce or escape boredom They not only give us something to do in our free time but also an activity that we can look forward to and get excited about Finally, hobbies create challenges for us Many people find it difficult to be loyal with the only hobby for a long time, they easily change them If we can get over the challenges and pursue our hobbies, we will create good quality for ourselves - that is a patient To sum up, there are many reasons for people to take up a hobby In my opinion, pursuing our hobby and doing what we love doesn't always lead us to succeed at career, but it can certainly bring joy and happiness 18/ “There are many factors that affect people’s choice of job” Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view Many factors affect people's choice of job However, in my opinion, there are two main factors for people to choose a career: personal factors and family-society factors In terms of personal factors, personality and interests are factors that many people care about and consider when choosing a job They tend to choose careers that match their personality For example, a character who does not like to interact with many people will choose jobs that can be 15 done alone, with little communication, such as accountants and clerical staffs In terms of family-society factors, many people choose to continue their family's traditional profession such as business activities, craft villages Or parents who work as teachers also orient their children to study pedagogy When choosing a school, many people often follow the trend that graduates will have stable jobs and high salaries In short, the choice of job will be determined by different factors The important thing is that we need to consider carefully make the right choice for us 19/ “Technology brings many
