Every word on a label describing a food, a drug, a cosmetic or a medical device is important in protecting you and your family from buying an inferior product, from misusing a good one, from being tricked by dangerous quackery, or from unknowingly possessing an item harmful to health
A label must not be misleading (lừa dối) This restriction is somewhat vague (mơ hồ) and therefore
cannot prevent all violations Although the government tries to eliminate all misleading labels, the consumer must nevertheless be always on guard Just because a can of sardines has a fancy- sounding foreign name,
Trang 3don’t take for granted that the fish were imported It is the law, too, that manufacturers must list their names and places of their business on their labels
Manufacturers must use common names in identifying their products so that anyone can readily understand what he is buying Synthetic foods must be prominently labeled as artificial Food composed of two or more ingredients must bear labels listing all ingredients in the order of predominance

C buying a harmful product D A, B and C

A some label are misleading in spite of government inspection B all labels are misleading
C most labels are vague D the government does nothing about misleading labels

II Topic: Discuss the role of teachers in one’s life
Most of us can learn how to do something simple on our own with just a set of instructions However,
to learn about something more complex, it's always best to have a teacher Teachers bring with them varied and useful backgrounds They've been trained to teach individuals in different ways depending on their style For instance, some students learn better by discussing a topic Others learn more by writing about it Teachers can help students learn in the way that's best for each student A textbook or a manual can only give you one way of learning something Plus they're only as helpful as your ability to understand them A good teacher can
adapt her teaching to your needs.
Teachers help you focus on what you're learning If you're learning something by yourself, it's easy to become distracted and go on to other activities Teachers keep your attention on the subject They also
Trang 5approach a subject logically, taking it one step at a time On your own, it's tempting to skip parts of the learning process you think you don't need That can hinder your ability to really understand the subject.
Learning a subject on your own is a very narrow way of learning You can only use the information you get from the textbook With a teacher, you get the information in the written materials as well as the teacher's own knowledge of the topic Teachers can also provide extra materials to broaden the scope of what you're learning.
There's nothing wrong with studying on your own, and a learner can always benefit from some quiet study For the best possible learning, though, a good teacher is the biggest help you can have.
