WRITING People can buy cheaper products nowaday Advantages or Disadvantages ? It is true that manufacturers are now able to move production oversea and cut down on overheads, thus bringing prices down and making their products move affordble to consumers While some may say there exitst some benefit to this trend, I would argue that the advantages are outweighed by the disadvantages On the one hand, the immediate benefits for consumers that lower prices offer are very definite Average households in developing nations can now afford products, items that were previously out of their reach For example, most families nowaday own flat screen TV and private automobiles, thanks to the fact that they are manufactured in third world countries where labor and operation cost are lower compared to third world countries Therefore, without doublt/undoubltely/ it is irrefutable that cheaper products are one of the main contributing factors to an improvement in living standard On the other hand, I would contend that the aforementioned possitive pricing are accompanied by a compromise product quality Converse perfectly examplifies this principle Customers have been complaining of poor construction and subar materials, which made the shoes wear out much faster than before The implication of this is that they have to be replaced more often and effectively making consumers have to pay more In addition to deteriorating quality, cheaper products also indirectly triggers unemployment Most companies today have moved manufacturing to China to exploit the negligible pay making million of workers in American and Canada redundant In conclusion, while it is difficult to deny the benefits of cheaper prices, I believed in the long run, we would incur more economic loses than gain Vocabularies : cut down on overheads : cắt giảm chi phí, overhead (n) : dùng chi phí doanh nghiệp consumers = the public = the masses outweighed = esclipsed definite = obvious : rõ ràng previously : trước = before reach = means labor and operation cost : phí vận hành contributing factors aforementioned = decribed accompanied by = attached with = couple with subar : mức trung bình wear out ( adj) : hỏng effectively = as a result deteriorating quality : giảm chất lượng unemployment = job loses negligible = meager : đồng lương ỏi make sb redundant : cho việc incur = witness compromise ( n+v) = decrease : thỏa hiệp, giảm The pictures illustrate the various stages in the life of Salmon Looking at the process, it is immediately obivious that there are main phases in a salmon’s life It begins as salmon eggs and ends/grows to be an adult At the beginning of its life, after getting out the egg shell, the infant of salmon is called a fry, which is to centimetters long It lives in the lower part of the river where water current is fast flowing for years After this period, the fry increases exponentially in length to between 12 and 15 cm At this stages of their life, young salmon migrate to the open sea where they live for approximately years After living the open sea, the smolt enters the fianl phases of a salmon’s life, in which it is called adult salmons It is now considerably bigger in size, about 70 to 76 centimeters Adult salmons swim back to the upper river, where they lay eggs among the reeds and small stones on the bottom of the river The bar charts illustrate the various choices that British students make upon leaving graduate and post graduate schools in the year 2008 Looking at the charts, it is immediately obivious that the number of graduate students was exponentially higher than that of post graduate Farther study and part time work seemed to be the most populr destination for school leavers The major of graduate student, 29,665 people decided to pursue further study/ higher education after they left school 17,375 students responded that they would find a part time job, which was almost the same as the number of those, who were unemployed Only 3000 graduate students parttook voluntary work Similar trend/development/pattern could be witnessed in the case of post graduate students Most people who finished post-graduate chose to continue to study higher degree About the same number of people were able to secure a part-time job 1625 post-graduate students were recorded to be unemployed and 345 people became volunteers ... fast flowing for years After this period, the fry increases exponentially in length to between 12 and 15 cm At this stages of their life, young salmon migrate to the open sea where they live for... reeds and small stones on the bottom of the river The bar charts illustrate the various choices that British students make upon leaving graduate and post graduate schools in the year 20 08 Looking...
