Question: Some people could be naturally good leaders Others believe that people can learn leadership skills Discuss both views and give your opinion

ANSWER (8.0+):

A debate has been growing recently over whether leadership is an innate trait or a

skill that is acquired through learning In my estimation, being a leader is a skill that can

be learned through extensive training

Firstly, it is reasonable to assume that leadership is sometimes innate Individuals can be born with certain qualities that are predictive of a good leader such as

bravery, strategic intelligence and self-confidence These traits can be passed down along a long lineage of successful leaders from one generation to the next This is

did Like his father, he was both tenacious and intelligent in guiding the company to long-term success by pursuing aggressive and forward-thinking strategies in

innovating Ford’s automotive technology Thus, it is understandable why some would contend leadership can be acquired inherently

However, a more persuasive case can be made for leadership as a learned

quality Individuals can become leaders in a disciplined environment through the

process of training, practice and hands-on experience over time For instance,

numerous reputed educational institutions throughout the world administer

leadership programs for those wanting to gain the required skill set to become

effective leaders Within those programs there are courses intended to cover the necessary aspects of leadership such as management, problem solving, implementation of strategy and decision making In addition, some of these programs include practical experience, where protégés can learn from current leaders about what it takes to take charge

To conclude, while it is fair to assume that some are born with the qualities of a good leader, I would assert that leadership skills can be gained through education

and experience in a structured environment

Question: Some think that people should not change their jobs while others think they should because it brings advantages for both themselves and their employers Discuss both sides and give your opinion

ANSWER (8.0+):

The topic of changing jobs can be a sensitive topic, with some believing that doing so

training costs I, however, contend that it is more disadvantageous to change jobs since

new employees

A key benefit of workers changing jobs regularly is that they can be equipped with a

more diverse skill set As different jobs utilize different knowledge bases, employees may be able to acquire a wide-ranging variety of professional skills Therefore, in the

future when a new job is offered to them, employees will be better prepared for the work entailed at any given position For companies, when their employees switch occupations, they can save time and money on training Firms can do this by hiring

someone with equal or more experience than the previous person in the same field

Therefore, the quality of the products or services being offered by these firms will remain consistent

to hire such individuals Employers understandably may hold a prejudice against those

hopper’ will not be able to contribute to their company long-term and thus it would

be counterproductive to commit resources to them When it comes to how companies themselves can be negatively affected by job hopping, they may continually

struggle when finding new employees who can meet their requirements This is evident

with how international accounting firms have a higher-than-average turnover rate at the junior level, meaning that they are in a near-endless cycle of hiring new people

In conclusion, while changing jobs can help workers acquire vital skills and companies save time and money for training, I would assert that the drawbacks are much more

high turnover rates (Word count: 334)

Question: In many countries, children are becoming overweight and unhealthy Some people think that the government has the responsibility to solve this problem To what extent do you agree or disagree?

ANSWER (8.0+):

The problem of childhood obesity and its consequences for physical health has become a pressing issue globally, with some arguing that the government is primarily responsible While this assertion is reasonable to some extent, I would contend that

the parents should take some responsibility as well as they are the primary

guardians of their children

It is valid to assert that the government should assume responsibility for tackling the problem of child obesity States have the power and resources to enact laws or

policies that can actively promote a healthier lifestyle and therefore curb the obesity

rate among children Consequently, children can be compelled to comply with these policies and change their habits to live more healthily and lose weight To give an

example, the Vietnamese government has recently promulgated a directive that

requires local schools to provide healthy school meals, encourages children to engage

in physical activities and prohibits the advertising and sharing of sugary drinks and

food This is intended to curb the obesity rate among children in Vietnam, which has

been rising in the past decade

However, the parents of these children should assume a secondary role in rectifying

this problem as well Since they are already the primary guardians responsible for

feeding and taking care of their offspring, it is only natural for parents to monitor their

diet and commitment to exercise If parents shirk these obligations, then their children

are more likely to remain obese and in poor health in the long-term For example, a recent survey has reported that the majority of European parents typically encourage their children to engage in weekly exercise programs to ensure that they will maintain a healthy weight They believe in this way, children can physically develop normally

and not be greatly affected by ailments associated with obesity

In conclusion, while the government should take a leading responsibility in tackling the

problem of child obesity given their legitimate power in enacting laws, I would

ultimately assert that the parents should also share this burden as they are

exercise habits

The growing awareness of healthy lifestyles can be ascribed to the far-reaching

impact of mass media It is now common to watch movies and TV shows featuring

celebrities who are fit, implicitly introducing new standards of beauty that are often attainable Hence, audiences may try to research and imitate the diet and exercise

regimens of well-known celebrities and become healthier in the process This can be

observed widely in numerous health magazines such as Men’s Health and Women’s Health that cater to this desire by publishing the daily fitness routines and meal plans of stars Fans can then read these magazines online and adopt the routines to learn the

best practices of successful role models and consistently stay in good shape

In order for this trend to continue to flourish, definitive steps must be taken by the government The first is to introduce legislation that requires more physical activities to be taught at school This can include sports such as football, basketball and other typical exercises such as jogging By creating additional activities for schoolchildren to

long-term The second measure would be for the state to promulgate a tax on the

purchase of processed food products As consumers may be unwilling to pay more

given the higher price, such a reform would encourage them to buy naturally produced

foods and in turn embrace healthier eating habits

In conclusion, thanks to mass media, more people are embracing wholesome

lifestyles and this can be further encouraged by mandatory physical education at

school and taxes on processed food It is crucial that the last solution be affordable in order to enjoy widespread adoption

Question: Some people think that people should be given the right to use fresh water as much as they like Others believe governments should strictly control the use of fresh water Discuss both views and give your own opinion

ANSWER (8.0+):

There are differing opinions in regard to the freedom to use fresh water Some believe

citizens should have the right to use fresh water freely, while others assert that the state should regulate the amount of fresh water citizens can use This essay will discuss both of these arguments and explain my thoughts on why the government should manage the use of freshwater

On the one hand, some see the right to fresh water as a basic human necessity

According to the UN’s International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights,

the right to water is an essential human right and all signatory nations of the covenant must ensure that their citizens have unrestricted access to fresh water Thus, the governments of those nations are obliged to guarantee that their citizens can use fresh water in any amount to meet their fundamental needs such as cooking, cleaning and drinking If citizens are not afforded adequate access to fresh water, it would be tantamount to an infringement on human rights and these citizens will

suffer greatly as a result

On the other hand, others believe fresh water is a scarce resource and should therefore be controlled by the state The global supply of fresh water is dwindling with each

passing decade due to numerous factors such as the greater frequency of droughts and

the majority of the world population will reside in water-stressed regions by the end

of the 21st century Hence, the scarcity of fresh water should be addressed by the

government through the promulgation of policies and regulations intended to prolong

the supply of water in the long-term

In conclusion, I believe that though people should have access to an adequate amount of fresh water for their survival, the state should intervene in not letting some people use too much water as this can lead to others not having enough of it

Question: Some people think that a huge amount of time and money is spent on the protection of wild animals and that this money could be better spent on the human population To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

ANSWER (8.0+):

It has been observed that a large amount of time and funding has been allocated

towards wildlife protection However, some argue that this funding could be put to

better use towards helping humanity In this essay, I will explain my thoughts as to why I partially agree that time and money could be better spent on helping humanity

On the one hand, the protection of wild animals can maintain the delicate balance of

the ecosystem If one animal species becomes completely extinct, other species may

suffer from a lack of food as these preys may be their sole food source and then consequently become extinct themselves, massively disrupting the food chain Hence the protection of wild animals cannot be understated and requires adequate funding

and time for it to continue in the long-term This can be observed in the US, where the

Conservation Reserve Program assisted in increasing the population of native bird

species such as ducks, grouse and pheasants, owing to the abundant amount of money

and time dedicated by the government to supporting this program

On the other hand, there are more important sectors to allocate funding to in order to

facilitate human development While the protection of wild animals may not have a

direct effect on supporting humanity, there are other facets of human society that do,

such as infrastructure, healthcare and education By devoting enough money and

time to bolstering these sectors, there can be marked improvements in the quality of

life for the human population Venezuela for instance, is currently facing a financial crisis that started in 2013 which has led to the country struggling to improve the quality

before devoting funding to protecting native wildlife

In conclusion, I somewhat believe that though an investment in preserving

animals may somehow maintain the balance of the ecosystem, our time and money

should be more justifiably spent on important sectors of the economy to improve people’s living standards

Question: Some people think scientific research should focus on solving world health problems Others think that there are more important issues Discuss both views and give your opinion

ANSWER (8.0+):

It is argued that scientific research should be devoted to addressing global health

issues, but there are some who contend that there are more pressing problems to

focus on This essay discusses both sides of this argument and why I partially agree with the latter opinion

To begin with, some argue it is important that adequate attention is given to solving global health issues Currently, there are many people who are finding it difficult to

afford medicine to be protected from diseases To address this, scientists could strive

to devise new and more affordable alternatives so that those people can live healthily

in the long-term This is evident with the Hepatitis B vaccine, as prior to its

invention medication for treating the virus was expensive However, once the vaccine was presented as a more affordable option, more people were then administered the

vaccine and the infection rate had decreased by a considerable margin

However, others argue that there are other issues that are more deserving of

attention from scientific research One of them is global famine, as there are some

regions in the world that are suffering from crop shortages due to numerous factors

such as poor soil quality and pests Therefore, scientific research could be devoted to

creating new genetically-modified crops that could withstand harsh conditions

Another critical issue is global warming, as it could pose a greater threat to all life on

Earth than most plights on global health Hence, scientific research could be valuable

in finding the causes of it as well as relevant solutions to curb the effects of it

In conclusion, I agree that while it is important that scientific research should be dedicated to solving global health problems, there are more critical issues that need to be addressed such as reducing famine and mitigating global warming

There has been a decline in the number of young people engaging in farming work,

which can be ascribed to the greater allure of factory-based jobs and the changing

perception resulting from the increased provision of education Because of these

factors, it can be prudent for young people to pursue agricultural work

Young people becoming more reluctant to work in farming can be explained as follows

Firstly, the slump in young workers working in the agriculture industry can be

attributed to factory-based jobs being more attractive In comparison to farming work,

factory jobs usually provide a more lucrative income and the working environment is

often more comfortable as workers get to be in an air-conditioned setting under a roof Thus, young workers are more inclined to work in a factory instead of on a farm In addition, with the greater provision of mass education to young people, more of them

have begun to perceive farming work to be below their standards They are typically more drawn to jobs that are better suited to their elevated educational

background and skill set Hence, they will likely consider agricultural work to not meet

those standards

Due to the factors outlined above, young people should be encouraged to work in

agriculture Firstly, farming jobs require a great deal of manpower to keep up with the currently growing demand for food A dearth in personnel can hinder productivity in the agricultural industry and by extension the national food supply can be deleteriously

halted, which may lead to a domestic food crisis Furthermore, farming work can be

a vocational pathway for young people It provides them with practical skills such as

using heavy machinery and planting crops, as well as soft skills such as task management, organizational and communication skills That way, young people can learn to be more resourceful and responsible in a professional setting

In conclusion, the greater benefits provided by factory jobs and changing perception of farm work are the leading causes of the decline in young people working in agriculture Therefore, they should be encouraged to work in that sector as it needs extensive

manpower and it can be a fruitful professional path for them to take

To begin with, there is a considerable disadvantage to teaching foreign languages to

primary school students The main one is it adds to their already burdensome

volume of schoolwork Since these primary school students are often subjected to a hectic curriculum with mounting homework and in-class assignments, the addition of

a foreign language may make it even more difficult for students to study effectively For example, the Japanese Ministry of Education recently attempted to incorporate English

into the national curriculum for elementary students However, it was met with

backlash from parents as they complained that their children are already encumbered with a heavy workload from other core subjects

However, there are some major advantages a primary school student can gain in

learning foreign languages First, they can be exposed to new and diverse cultures As

acquire a greater understanding of how people of that nation typically communicate with each other and by extension how their society functions culturally Second,

abilities In doing this, they will learn how to recognize complex patterns and

use critical thinking skills to make sense of the new knowledge they are acquiring

Hence, such skills are beneficial for a child’s education as they serve to expand the thinking abilities of the brain

In conclusion, while learning a language can add to the already cumbersome amount

of schoolwork, I assert that it is more advantageous for primary schools to teach their students foreign languages as they can serve to expand their knowledge about new

foreign cultures and they help sharpen their cognitive skills

To begin with, there are a few drawbacks to living away from loved ones to find work

Firstly, people can be vulnerable to various mental health issues This is because they can miss being in the company of friends and family and sharing with them their developments and problems in life, as well as being comforted by them when life

becomes tough Therefore, these people can experience feelings of anxiety and depression, which may disrupt their motivation to find work Secondly, it may be

difficult for people to get immediate help when they are away from home For instance, if they have a medical emergency, their next of kin or close friends may not be there to help them Hence, they will have to rely on outside assistance such as

medical services or close neighbours, which can be inconvenient and expensive

However, the benefits of this practice are greater than the drawbacks Firstly, isolating

oneself from others in search of a job can allow them to endeavour to live more independently By finding a place of their own and conducting their own research to

find a job, they can learn what it means to struggle to earn their own living and maintain

their own lifestyle In the process, they are more likely to grow into self-reliant people

Secondly, individuals are less likely to be influenced by their friends and family Since

different people may have varying ideas about what kind of employment one should

friends and family, they will be able to more freely forge their own career path

In conclusion, while people can be more susceptible to mental health problems and

have a lack of immediate assistance, it is more advantageous for people to live away from friends and family in looking for work, as they can become more independent in their lifestyle and be free to pursue whatever job they desire

It is observed that the ratio of older to younger people will grow in the coming

decades across most nations This essay will explain why this is ultimately a negative

development for society in the long term

Firstly, having a greater proportion of elderly people can put a strain on the state

budget The government may have to increase its expenditure on the healthcare

system since senior citizens are more prone to serious and often costly ailments such

as heart disease and strokes than younger people However, since there are other important sectors that the government has to allocate funding to such as infrastructure, education and defense, spending more to support the elderly may

eventually leave little financial resources for those mentioned fields This could adversely impact the meaningful progress being made in said fields and by

extension detrimentally affect the socioeconomic development of a country

Secondly, the growth in the number of elderly people will damage the national

workforce Since they are not as physically or mentally strong as younger people, most

growth Consequently, with an inadequate number of younger people to replace the

aging population in terms of employment, a shrinking workforce can impede economic

growth which in turn can halt meaningful strides towards better standards of living

This is evident in the case of blue-collar jobs, as workers who are much older cannot work as effectively as younger ones since they lack the strength to tackle hard labor

Hence, they are more likely to be laid off which will practically diminish the national workforce in this area

In conclusion, the expanding number of older people in comparison to younger people is decidedly a negative development since it will place a massive burden on the state budget and reduce the productivity of the labor force

The first reason why people should learn a language is that they will gain a more

profound insight into foreign cultures As they acquire a language, they can truly

understand local customs and traditions by reading original literary works or watching

documentaries For example, a Vietnamese student who is proficient in Hindi, one of

the official languages in India, would know that head shaking in India does not mean

no and the gesture for yes looks like a no in other cultures As a result, mutual

misunderstandings and cultural shock are more likely to be avoided, allowing them

to better adapt to a new environment

The second reason for my agreement is that language acquisition enables people to

have more effective communication They can feel more confident when entering a

conversation in a foreign language, facilitating their understanding of how a sentence

is structured or how a new word is applied in the right context To illustrate, a tourist proficient in French tends to more actively interact with local people during his vacation

in France, forging a stronger bond among them As a result, this will bring an

enlivening and memorable traveling experience These benefits cannot be provided

by using translation software as it will be a cold personal interaction

In conclusion, I strongly believe language translation platforms cannot replace the need to learn a new language as it fosters a process of cultural exchange and improves

learning a language and not just rely on translation software (Word count: 289)

Question: The expansion of multinational companies and increase in globalization produce positive effects for everyone To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement

ANSWER (8.0+):

It is argued that the proliferation of global corporations and internationalization offers

benefits to all people I strongly agree with the aforementioned statement because of

reasons relating to a higher level of employment and enhanced cross-cultural communication skills

One legitimate reason to support this trend is that it brings more job opportunities for

local people Since international firms, which open their branches in different countries, require a high level of workforce, they will need to recruit more local employees to

operate the business As a result, the natives are offered a decent occupation with lucrative incomes to cover their living expenses and in some cases, spend more

generously on their shopping For example, Samsung, a renowned Korean technology corporation, has created a large number of jobs for Vietnamese since 2018, through

cooperating with the local government to successfully tackle the high unemployment rate in Vietnam

Another major aspect is that people have a chance to develop multi-cultural communication skills as globalization is promoted On a personal level, it is now easy

for workers to learn about foreign cultures and customs, enabling them to acquire more knowledge and insight into varying international practices As they are exposed to

cross-cultural diversity in their working environment and society, they would become more able to show their empathy and tolerate cultural differences At the company

level, globalization leads to a more diverse range of potential business partners and

diversifies their investment portfolios, which contributes to their profit generation

Therefore, having global partnerships is essential for businesses to compete in the growing international market

In conclusion, I firmly believe that this trend is a positive development for every individual since it offers more jobs in local areas and stimulates better cross-cultural communication Therefore, the government should encourage the process of globalization and multinational companies setting up in their countries

To begin with, films and books are not a superior way for young people to learn good behaviors as there are many negative role models in most of them To be more specific,

characters in such forms are usually idealized or exaggerated to appeal to audiences; therefore, they often possess a set of behaviors that are regarded as immoral and

violent in reality For example, the image of the Joker in the movie with the same name is cruel and aggressive but admired by numerous young people in the world since he is considered to be a hero in some ways As a result, many tend to imitate his actions in

real life without realizing that these are wrong and have dire consequences

Another reason why I disagree is that people have a stronger emotional reaction to real experiences which means they learn more from them First, they can remember what they gained more vividly In fact, if they behave badly and are criticized by others, they could realize that their actions are totally wrong and annoy others to a significant extent; thus, they are more likely to avoid making the same mistakes in the future It is also scientifically proven that knowledge is stored for a longer period of time if people

experience it on their own due to a combination of senses Furthermore, first-hand experiences enable young people to decide which behaviors suit them the most This

is because they will be learning behavior in areas that they need whereas books and movies might be showing behavior in contexts that are not relevant to them

In conclusion, I completely disagree with the idea that movies and books instill good behaviors in young people since characters are often presented with violent behaviors,

and learning through experience is more effective to control behavior and attitudes

as they can be better stored and are more suitable for each individual Therefore,

parents should try to optimize the experiences that their children have so that they

can develop into moral citizens
