BODY I: ADVANTAGES OF THE THING YOU CHOOSE.
BODY II: DISADVANTAGES OF THE TWO OTHER THINGS
CONCLUSION
Trang 7
People have many choices with regard to what they can bring with while
going on holiday: a book, an MP3 player, a laptop If I was given a three-day vacation, I would choose to bring my laptop for the following reasons.
Trang 8BODY I
Firstly, bringing my laptop could help me catch up with everybody I could take a lot of photos and then post them on my Facebook, sharing unforgettable memories with my friends and family I
can’t imagine living without my laptop for 3 days Secondly, I could use it to listen to my favorite
songs or watch a blockbuster before going to bed, which sounds so relaxing, right?
Trang 9BODY II
There are several reasons why I don’t choose the other options In my opinion, spending time reading book while
travelling sounds so boring and tedious I’m neither a book-aholic nor a book-lover I would join outdoor activities
instead, you know… like surfing, swimming or hiking To me, an MP3 player is something outdated Hardly do
people use it nowadays because smart phones allow them to listen to music in a faster and more convenient way It’s just a redundant stuff
Trang 10In short, if I were in the situation, I would opt to carry my
laptop with me owing to its unique features.

[your own ideas]
Need to reduce stress
Social networking
PART 3 : TOPIC DEVELOPMENT
Trang 12In my opinion, everything has its good and bad side and computer is not an exception I agree that there are more and more technophiles nowadays There may be many reasons for this.
Trang 13BODY I
Firstly, many teenagers find games online very attractive because users are constantly given scores, new targets and frequent rewards to
keep them playing Many children now spend hours each day trying to progress through the levels of a game to get a higher scores than
their friends.
Trang 14BODY II
Thirdly, many people use computer as a useful way to seek solace and escape after hard-working hours without
knowing that they gradually become computer addicts and computers become a dispensable part of their lives They can spend hours watching movies, browsing news sites without feeling bored
In my view, being stressed and unhappy can contribute greatly to the development of a computer addiction People who
cannot easily relate to their peers are also at a higher risk of developing a computer addiction That’s all I want to say
Trang 15What should people do to limit their computer usage?
Well, there are many situations that people cannot avoid using their computers For example, white-collar workers usually need computer for their jobs However, we can reduce the time spending on social networking and games We should spend times on other useful hobbies like reading books, taking part in clubs, doing volunteer jobs or hanging out with friends
Trang 16Do you think games are as dangerous as alcohol or drugs?
Uhm, this is a good question All of them can make people addictive and I definitely think games are as
hazardous as the two other things Like alcohol and drugs, games can change people’s behaviours and
personality negatively, causing potential problems for not only individuals but also their family and society,
like truancy, delinquency, suicide and so on
Trang 17Do you think cyberbullying is dangerous?
Yes, I certainly agree that becoming a victim of public can have an extremely negative influence
on one’s feelings or even one’s life You know, there are a ton of articles about young people who kill themselves after being ridiculed by netizens’ sarcasms on Facebook Social networking is just
a virtual world but the mental scars it brings are real.
