Do you agree witth the idea that marriage should be based on love or not and why? (in 12 english textbook - about 140 words) (Bạn có đồng ý với ý kiến nhân nên dựa tảng tình u hay không, sao?) Bài luận mẫu: Nowadays, almost all of people experience love and then reach marriage However, I partly agree with the idea that marriage should be based on love because only love is not enough Here the following reasons are First, there is no denial that love makes people happy in life and helps them overcome severe difficulties and build a warm family It is love that joins a man and a woman together When these above supposed things become true, I call it true love, in other words, forgiveness and sacrifice contribute to true love Moreover, future home"s finance also affects the family happiness For example, your child can"t study at school without money, you even have no wonderful moment when both of wife and husban "s inconsistency related to money turns up and so on In conclusion, marriage should be built on love and serious attitude of two sides who accept specific characters each other and fullfil the gap"s spouses The kind of book you like best I am usually in habit of reading books Addition to books that offer me much useful information,I also like comic book I am in fond of it for some following reasons To begin with, Comic books bring me a great deal of relaxation One of them is Doremon story, which tells many funny short stories about main characters, Doremon and Nobita,Who are close friends The author of that comic creats so many amusing situations among characters that I can't help laughing It's actually a hard-to-put-down book It attracts not only children but also adults as me Another good point of it I want to mention about is creative imagination I mean children need to have imaginative mindset, which helps them be more active in life By and large, comic book is worth reading after hard work It is nice for everyone What should you to improve your English?

always a serious problem in my hometown The traffic can be a nightmare for foreign visitors to Quy Nhon for the first time The streets are narrow and in bad condition Worse still, many people disobey the traffic regulations Therefore, road safety has become one of the most serious issues It affects everyone whether he drives, walks or cycles To solve the above problems, the authorities should have the streets repaired and widened They should also develop a good system of public transport to reduce the number of motorcycles moving along the streets Above all, the city people should be educated to obey the traffic rules I hope that all effective measures will be carried out to reduce the number of traffic accidents A visit to a famous city A few months ago my father and I visited Singapore, one of the most famous cities in Asia Singapore, a small island, lies at the southern and of West Malaysia A long and narrow piece of land joins Singapore with Johore Hahru, the southern-most town of

and its harbours are full of ships There are many night schools where people who cannot go to the day schools for some reason or other can continue their studies And, the government of Singapore is still doing its best to make further improvements in the city for the benefit of the people During my stay in Singapore, I went out every day with my father to see the beautiful and interesting places and things in the city One day we went to the Tiger Balm Garden where I saw several statues of people, animals and other strange creature beautifully made and kept The sea near this garden makes this a pleasant place to visit We spent almost half of the day at this place Another day we visited the museum where I saw hundreds of curious things preserved for scholars and others It was indeed an education to see all those things There is so much to learn here that every visit by any person is sure to add to his knowledge I also visited some of the harbours and saw the large ships anchored there The sight of the ships aroused a desire in me to cross the oceans and go round the world I was indeed deeply impressed by the activities at the harbour Then every night, I went round the town and visited some of the parks and other places of interest The numerous sights and the constant stream of traffic kept the city alive I visited a few of the cinemas as well In short, I enjoyed every
