the fact that families now are not as close-knit as they were in the past It is widely believed that home is where love dwells and that east or west home is the best That means family is so important to any of us that we hardly grow up without the care from family members It is also true that the social, economic changes make the traditional family formulas vary Although different people have different points of view on the matters, we all agree that families now are not as close-knit as they used to be The causes are various, but we can count for the three main points below The first cause is that in our modern life we all seem to have so busy lives and dynamic lifestyles People now are so busy with working, earning, getting promotions, taking part in social activities, etc People are likely to have longer working hours because of their demand of earning more and more People seem to be never satisfied with what they have In families, under the economic pressure, both parents work so they have less time for themselves as well as for other family members Another cause is that due to the explosion of modern technologies people are more interested in their online lives than interacting with other family members It is sometimes thought that people seem to isolate themselves with their mobile-phones, tablets, personal computers, and other information technological devices Having different viewpoints is the other cause of course The generation gaps sometimes cause misunderstandings or even debates Information technology also brings opportunities to diverse viewpoints within family members Having different opinions pulls people far from one another Above all, though changes of traditional families are unavoidable, we are to shorten the gaps among family members to be as close-knit as possible Because family life is very important to any individual, each member must be responsible for bringing all family members closer together 29 PHẦN TỰ LUẬN: (2 điểm) 200 I

II TOPIC: Write to suggest measures governments and individuals can take to reduce the global warming It was reported recently by the U.S scientists that the volume of ice on the North Pole is now the

are the main agents who are responsible for the worsening of the nature So, individuals and governments throughout the world should co-operate to stop the natural environment worsening process Each individual first must be more aware of the need to protect our environment for not only our own lives but also the next generations The first easy thing one can is to save the energy by using less heat and air-conditioning, using energy-efficient products, or even driving less Another way is to recycle paper, plastic, newspaper, glass, etc When the recycling is practiced, it helps to reduce the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere The other thing is to plant more trees because as we know, trees can absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen The fact is that the mission is not done by one or a group of persons so we should educate the community and encourage everyone to join hands to recycle and conserve energy Countries all over the world, rich or poor, developed, developing or underdeveloped should co-operate to better the situation First of all, governments are better to inform their citizens about the global warming facts and the mishaps that people may face if the process goes on Then, in order to reduce the emissions, governments should impose heavier taxes on the produce of greenhouse gas emissions Factories and companies that over-emit may not be allowed to operate or even be closed Moreover, bigger sums of money must be spent on researches discovering the alternative sources of energy Additionally, stricter laws on environmental problems should be passed and enforced to better the surroundings for people to live After all, the work to recover the environment and to stop the global warming process cannot be done overnight or completed by one

easily satisfy children’s needs They also have better emotional understanding of what the kids are going through In addition, women have a closer bond with their children They create that during the

they seem to spend little time with their children Significantly, breeding makes the relation between women and their children more closeknit On the contrary, there are many single fathers who can

endangered animals We now all know clearly that our environment is worsening day by day Although countless efforts have been made to better the situations, the matter seems not to be much improved Thousands of species have been vanishing, many other thousands are being threatened to be extinct To solve the problems, or even to slower the process of extinction, there are a number of measures that should be taken to protect endangered animals The first problem is that people not know much about the need to rare and endangered animals Therefore, people should be taught about the importance of the wildlife and rare animals in the ecosystem It also seems that projects to save endangered animals not have sufficient funds, and that our mission is to raise enough funds to run these plans efficiently Another bad thing is that the habitats for wild animals are being seriously damaged or polluted To better homes for the wildlife we should protect their habitats from being degraded and then help build up good habitats for all species to live in Sometimes, people who live in or near the endangered species’ habitats have poor living conditions and rely mostly on wildlife products for their livelihood Urgently, governments should raise these people’s living standards by providing them with jobs, and help them to live well with the nature The other reasons are that some countries not have laws to protect the vulnerable animals, people keep buying fashionable wildlife products, and there are not enough wildlife habitat reserves To deal with these challenges, governments all over the world had better soon pass and enforce laws to protect the nature, to make the purchasing products related to wild species and to build up more and more natural reserves for endangered ones to survive and develop 208 Protecting the environment today is offering us and the next generations more prosperous future To save the endangered species means to save the earth and to save ourselves

others feel they lack support because of their parents’ absence Discuss both these views and give your own opinions In the business-driven culture nowadays, in order to adopt all of the so-called symbols of advanced life, in many families; both parents have to work hard all day long for their children to enjoy the best It’s true that those children benefit from the joint income and the same, those grew up lacking parental support, and this practice is creating a negative feedback loop On the first note, one of the external influences on a child’s development is economic status; children in impoverished or low-income families are, often times, more prone to emotional difficulties than other children because parents have limited resources to address the children’s needs as an asset to a child’s overall development Therein, the income of parents is directly influential in the quality of care as well as of life a child has So out of the love for their children, willy-nilly, both parents have no choice but work outside However, gaining higher economic status does not guarantee better child development, in return to this, something must be lost Parents with the help of close emotional bonds with children will be able to enhance a child’s motivation to comply with rules and requests and is associated with 210 positive long term-outcomes so that they will grow up more independent, emphatic, and socially competent Secure attachments to parents will underpin a child for positive, self-fulfilling expectations about other people which he will take into future relationships In an evolving culture where parents spend more time working and less time with their child, the child’s overall development is the one to suffer- the long-term implications of which not yet fully realized Yet, it is important to step back and consider the quality of the current cultural environment and the ill-developed children it may produce, obviously this leads to the disability to handle relationships and the child fail to function better both socially and professionally, and this may impact generation after generation Children need their parents to be affectionate, caring beings, whether working parent or stay-home parent; it doesn’t matter much What really counts is that the parent loves the child, fosters secure attachments with her child and fathoms of what the child’s needs are Otherwise, it is society that bears the consequences; its citizens are all ill- developed ones 43 PHẦN TỰ LUẬN: (2 điểm) I Rewrite each of the following sentences in such a way that
