the following text from an article about smoking Medical studies have shown that smoking not only leads to health problems for the smoker, but also for people close by For this reason, smoking should not be allowed in public places Opponents argue that the forbiddance of smoking would possibly affect the freedom of choice or lead to the closure of many bars and pubs However, supporters of this ban place people’s health problems at the top of the scale Now, write an essay to an educated reader to discuss your opinions about whether public smoking should be banned or not Include reasons and any relevant examples to support your answer You should write at least 250 words Bài làm: Medical studies have shown that smoking not only leads to health problems for the smoker, but also for people close by As a result of this, many believe that smoking should not be allowed in public places Although there are arguments on both sides, I strongly agree that a ban is the most appropriate course of action Opponents of such a ban argue against it for several reasons Firstly, they say that passive smokers make the choice to breathe in other people’s smoke by going to places where it is allowed If they would prefer not to smoke passively, then they not need to visit places where smoking is permitted In addition, they believe a ban would possibly drive many bars and pubs out of business as smokers would not go there anymore They also argue it is a matter of freedom of choice Smoking is not against the law, so individuals should have the freedom to smoke where they wish However, there are more convincing arguments in favour of a ban First and foremost, it has been proven that tobacco consists of carcinogenic compounds which cause serious harm to a person’s health, not only the smoker Anyone around them can develop cancers of the lungs, mouth and throat, and other sites in the body It is simply not fair to impose this upon another person It is also the case that people’s health is more important than businesses In any case, pubs and restaurants could adapt to a ban by, for example, allowing smoking areas In conclusion, it is clear that it should be made illegal to smoke in public places This would improve the health of thousands of people, and that is most definitely a positive development WRTING TEST 23 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task Read the following text from an article about television addiction If you watch more than 30 hours of television a week, some psychologists would consider you to be a television addict Television addict may show some of the following symptoms They may not be selective in what they watch; in other words, they will watch anything They may feel a loss of control when viewing They may feel angry with themselves for watching so much, but are not able to stop watching, and they may feel miserable when they are stopped from watching Now, write an essay to an educated reader to discuss your opinions about consequences of television addiction Include reasons and any relevant examples to support your answer Bài làm: In today’s world, television is the main source of entertainment and is a necessity of life like meals, clothing, and home Watching time gradually increases and people become addicted to it after all People, those watch television more than 30 hours a week, are considered television addicts by some psychologists However, television abuse and addiction may cause numerous harmful consequences in our health and life style as follows The first and the most dangerous effect of watching too much of television is mass physical degradation in society People, who spend hours and hours in front of the television, are under very high risk of diabetes and obesity While watching television, people usually consume a lot of fast food and fizzy drinks with high calorie and out of doing exercise A recent research study conducted at the Harvard School of Public Health indicates that watching too much television can significantly increase the risk of developing obesity and type diabetes In addition, another adverse effect, which can be caused by television addiction, is related to possible mental disorders or depression After hours of watching television, most people fall in constant feeling of tiresome and weariness Some researches show that through bringing the effects of relaxation into their minds, television actually disturbs human brain and makes it tired even within the first minutes of television watching session Moreover, watching television for long time has been linked to depression This depression may prevent people from being able to stop watching television as they may feel miserable when they are stopped from watching Thus, a cycle of depression and television addiction is developed Other problem of those people, who addict television, is lack of concentration, insomnia, restlessness, negative thoughts, etc Watching television steals a lot of free time for activities they might find more usefulness, namely talking to friends and family, traveling, playing sports, or joining a political or community group Besides, television addiction may affect children by the negative sides of watching television such as violence or sexual abuse which lead to failures in schools, slow-down in intellectual development, lack of social skills, etc Many people are out of controlling their direction since they watch all programs and channels that they see.It can result in wrong perception of the life and its realities To conclude, the problem with television addiction is that it might not appear as dangerous as nicotine or drug addiction but when taking a deeper look, people will find out numerous damaging impacts on their life namely health problem, cognitive ability and emotional problem Bài làm 2: WRITING TASK 23 Television plays a major part in the majority of people’s lives; soap operas, sports programs, music programs, everyone has their favorites.Television addict may show some of the following symptoms They may not be selective in what they watch; in other words, they will watch anything They may feel a loss of control when viewing They may feel angry with themselves for watching so much, but are not able to stop watching, and they may feel miserable when they are stopped from watching In my opinion, if we limit the amount of television we watch, we can also enjoy our free time Television in some ways is a device that allows the viewer to relate to what is happening on the screen We choose our favorite music from videos, get news, watch our preferred football teams, connect to the characters in the family drama and watch educational documentaries We discuss our preferences with friends and co-workers when we talk to them so it can be said that TV enriches our emotional and cultural selves On the other hand, television has negative effects on the body, as well as social interaction Doctors tell us that too much time sat down can lead to weight gain and heart disease and if we are sitting in front of the TV all the time it means we are not going out to meet our friends I believe, if we watch television in moderation, we can enjoy our favorite programs as well as have an active social life In conclusion, watching television can take up a lot of spare time which could be used for social or leisure activities As a child, my parents insisted that I only watched one or two programs a night Today I captain my local football team and enjoy talking about the previous week’s programming after a match on Saturday It is my opinion that, if we sit at home all the time watching television and not go out, then it will have an unhealthy effect on our bodies, minds and friendships However, if we regulate how much we watch and get on with other things, then TV can be an important part of our social lives Bài làm 3: Television addicts exist everywhere Those people watch television on daily basis for three hours or more and sometimes have to drop important activities just to be able to watch television for few more hours The dangers of television addiction are really bigger than what you could imagine and the following few examples will show you what television addiction can to your life Firstly, it Programs your mind Just as watching Jackie Chan’s movie programmed my mind the movies that you watch will program your mind too whether you want or not Watch a lot of drama and you will become a cry boy, watch a lot of action movies and you might become violent or watch a lot of horror movies and you might start to believe in ghosts Secondly, it Changes your beliefs about life: Why so many people want to get rich in two weeks? Why are keywords such as “How to become a billionaire over night” are among the popular search keywords? Why people feel really bad when they get rejected for the first time?? Movies have taught us that good guys fail, face problems but usually solve them before the end of the movie It never takes the Good guy more than few days to move from poverty to wealth, from being unknown to being famous and from being sad to being absolutely happy When your beliefs about life change you start to assume that life events should be similar to the events you saw in the movies but unfortunately this only results in disappointment The most famous example out of them all is not being able to get over someone just because of thinking that he was the one In conclusion, Television addiction is really bad and can result in dramatic changes in your mood and life style The problem with television addiction is that it might not appear as dangerous as nicotine or drug addiction but when taking a deeper look you will find that it could have a damaging impact on your life Break this habit before it breaks you ĐỀ SỐ 28 You should spend 40 minutes on this task Read the following extract from an article Using public transport has become familiar to everyone in Vietnam Millions of people today are travelling by lots of kinds of public transport Some people think that using public transport brings a lot of advantages to the society in general and to themselves in particular; others argue that they have to face disadvantages when using public transport Write an essay to an educated reader to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using public transport Include reasons and any relevant examples to support your answer You should write at least 250 words Bài làm: Transportation is playing an important role in every nation's development process and this is an important aspect in our life for mobility In my opinion, there are more advantages than disadvantages of using public transportation There are three reasons to support this statement These reasons are environmental effects of using public transportation, cost of public transportation, and accessibility of public transportation Firstly, we can save our environment more by using the public transportation We could take trains, buses, airplanes to travel most parts in the world Therefore, we should use the public transportation than private transportation, such as private cars, motorbikes, private jets, and so on We need to reduce the gas that is emitted by the private transportations If we not make effort for the environment issue, the earth could be dirty and we might not feel comfortable to live on it Therefore, we should use public transportation, such as trains and buses to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide It could be a small step for us, but it would make a big difference in the future Secondly, we should focus on the cost of using the public transportation It is much cheaper than the cost of private transportation It would cost a lot to buy gasoline if we want to drive own cars Also, there are other expenses, such as parking license, registration fee, inspection fee, and so on to own cars Therefore, if you want to save money, it is wise not to own private cars and use the public transportation instead By saving the cost of transportation, we could enjoy better meal, accommodation, or other services If we have a choice between public transportation and private transportation, we should choose public transportation, because the cost is very different We should spend least money for transportation Thirdly, accessibility of public transportation is good in large cities so that we would not worry about waiting for long hours It could save time by using public transportation, because private transportation, such as cars need time to find a parking space Comparing with the cars, trains, buses, and airplanes usually have the better accessibility in major cities in the world Therefore, we should use the public transportation if we want to have good accessibility In conclusion, we should use public transportation, because it is good for environment, it is cheap, and it has better accessibility We might spend for other things, such as gifts or services by saving the cost of transportation Bài làm 2: While some people choose to use public transportations, others prefer to use their own cars It is believed that the excessive usage of personal cars has caused congestion problems in big cities and therefore people should use public transportations more often However, public transportations have their own positive and negative sides and the following essay will discuss about them in details It is undeniable, that public transportations have some weaknesses Some people still choose to use their own private vehicles, though the government has encouraged them to use public transports It is because public transportations are not as safe as private cars and some criminal activities in public buses or trains such as pocket thieves are still being reported And then public transportations are not reliable in terms of preciseness and accuracy Many people have complained about the preciseness and the consistency of these public transportations schedules, which impacted to their work or study time Despite of its weakness points, public transportations brings a lot of benefits for individuals and societies Firstly, it is clear that the existence of public transportations will automatically reduced traffic problems Secondly, if the utilization of public transportations increased, it means that there will be a reduction in the consumption of fossil fuels Consequently, it will reduce air pollution and global warming issues Therefore, the governments should encourage their residents to use public transportations In conclusion, people have different opinions about public transportations Some people enjoy using them, while others choose to use their own personal vehicles Although public transportations have some weaknesses, I believe that the benefits outweighed the drawbacks I also suggest that the government should improve the public transportation services, therefore more and more people are attracted to use this kind of transportation Writing Test 21 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task Read the following text from an article about famous people Famous people of various kinds, including movie stars and royalty, are often closely followed by the press There have been stories of journalists digging through garbage bins to find little bits of information on the private lives of the rich and famous Some press photographers try to take photographs of famous people in their most private moments to sell to the world’s media Now, write an essay to an educated reader to discuss your opinions about challenges of being famous Include reasons and any relevant examples to support your answer You should write at least 250 words Bài làm: It is widely believe that being famous guarantees a comfortable life without worrying about money or anything else If so, why are there many articles about celebrities’ suicide because of pressures in life? Is it true that being famous so easy? We could not negate the fact that famous people could earn ton of money through their careers such as: business, advertisement and so on They spend their life in luxurious villas, expensive cars, travelling around the world… They always appear in well-known brand clothes or jewelry It can be said that, celebrities have easier life than many other people However, being recognized by everyone causes many problems First, famous people have no privacy for real Every minute they step outside would be captured on the cover of some newspaper which could ruin their image immediately Take Miss Vietnam- Ky Duyen for an example A picture of her sleeping in the airplane with a strange posture was posted on the Internet For that reason, many people criticized her that she did not know what she should in public; or that she did not keep the image of a Miss Vietnam The fact turned out that she was so tired during her promotion as a Miss Vietnamese, so she tried to take a break on the airplane How poor she was! Problems does not only come from the paparazzi but also come from the fan They follow them to everywhere, asking them for a picture or autograph… This somehow must be really annoying Second, fame also brings a serious problem that celebrities have to worry about their own safety and the safety of their family Last month, properties in a private house of a wellknown singer in Vietnam were stolen She was so stressful and took a long time to recover after that This is the reason why some famous people have to equip modern system or security to protect their life Moreover, some fans have negative behavior that they even threaten their idol if he or she does not accept their proposal In conclusion, being famous would be nice but not an easy way to live If you are interested in being recognized by everyone, you should accept its negative sides and find the way to deal with it Bài làm 2: People often believe that brightness and success provide them with advantages and drawbacks as well I strongly Support the idea that the positive part outweigh the negative ones On the one hand, being film star or a bright sportsman lead people to be well known, loved and have a lot of people attracted to them They also find themselves to be admired and respected from a numerous groups of their societies and sometimes from around the world For instance, a film star would be successful and be well-paid besides being internationally famous and revered Another example is about sports people who are always appreciated for their fulfillment, since they lead their team to be well known and win many prizes from different competitive games On the other hand, celebrities find themselves under the microscope as they are always followed by the press and paparazzi that make them feel insecure and under stress The celebrities have to sacrifices their personal life and people and media often intrude in their personal life They are often the target of scandals and that can ruin their personal life and relationship To a certain extent their freedom is limited They can’t go every place and whatever they like an ordinary people as media and mass people would follow them wherever they go Celebrities often face harsh behaviors and whimsical attitudes from their fans Their life is not as easy as we think They have competitors and they have to work hard to maintain their fame It is not uncommon that many celebrities lead extravagant life that often leads to bad condition in the old ages when the earnings are limited A poor performance can often lead to public wrath and that is pretty tough to hand for them The luxury, fame and popularity often allure then to go astray and become drug addicted To sum up, being famous and successful is like a sword having two sharp edges that we cannot escape of However, celebrities should get the most of their position and always consider the disadvantages Bài làm 3: Celebrity works hard to get the attention of the public and once she or he becomes famous, she or he constantly tries to avoid the attention Being a celebrity is certainly not a piece of cake They get all the attention of the world in the price of personal space Being a famous personality is sometimes very challenges Let us look at the negative side of being a celebrity As majority of the world follows the film starts or the sports persons, few of them are crazy about the celebrity For instance, in the headlines of few newspapers, we keep reading about the fans who write letter by their blood I am certain that no one would like to receive such letters, constant annoying calls or being stoked by strangers These all scary things come with the tag celebrity Moreover being a celebrity is not an easy job Film starts and sportsman have to continuously perform well otherwise same fans would harm them For example, when the Indian cricket team did not perform well in one of the matches, their fans broke the cricketers’ houses 10 To conclude, the internet is an amazing technological innovation that has transformed people’s lives, but not without negative impacts However, with the right action by individuals, governments and businesses, it can be made a safe place for everyone Bài làm 4: Rumors are nearly as old as human history, but with the rise of the Internet, they have become ubiquitous In fact we are now awash in them False rumors are especially troublesome; they impose real damage on individuals and institutions, and they often resist correction They can threaten careers, policies, public officials, and sometimes even democracy itself In the era of the Internet, it has become easy to spread false or misleading rumors about almost anyone A high school student, a salesperson, a professor, a banker, an employer, an insurance broker, a real estate agent-each of these is vulnerable to an allegation that can have a painful, damaging, or even devastating effect The rumor can involve organizations as well as individuals Material on the Internet has considerable longevity For all practical purposes, it may even be permanent For this reason, a false rumor can have an enduring effect Rumors are not always nasty, but they can be especially malicious when the person who started them has something against you Sometimes, rumors have a life of their own The least you can is to stop making the situation worse for you If rumors say that you live next to a dumpsite, for example, you can invite some people over to show them it isn’t true Or if rumors say that you’re involved in an illegal trade, stop doing any activities that might sound suspicious In conclusion, rumors are unfair They give you hardly any chance to fight back How you deal with rumors also says something about your character So be careful how you handle them WRITING TEST 22 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task Read the following text from an article about Internet addiction One of the growing areas of concern is that of Internet addiction An Internet addict is someone who is unable to control his or her own use of the Internet and whose behaviours threatens to overwhelm his or her normal life Internet addiction can

the Internet has become the most favorable interest for modern people, among them there are a number of users get addicted to the Internet also However, there are still possible solutions which I will try to discuss below Firstly, people should be aware of the harm of the Internet in terms of social issues People who are addicted spend too much time on the Internet They prefer to stay at home and immerse in a virtual world, instead of going out to connect the real people In the circumstance, their social abilities may degenerate as well as the relationship with others may be worsened In this case, people should take part in social activities such as doing charity or voluntary work in the community so as to be taken away from the computer screen and relax their mind Secondly, people who are addicted to the Internet should take a new hobby to draw them away form the harmful way of life They can listen to music, read a book, take physical exercise or gardening, which make them busy and bring them happiness too They can leave the computer for this healthy hobby Finally, as for avoiding this unhealthy habit, government should enact stricter laws and grade websites as movie rating At the same time, system that can restrict children to access unsuitable information should be established Consequently, the negative effects of the Internet can be reduced To conclusion, although the problems of Internet addiction would be influential, there are some methods which can be executed and benefits of the Internet could be optimized Bài làm With the rapid develop of the Internet, a vast amount of information including articles, books,, games, movies and so on is shared on the Internet which one people can never finish exploring their whole life However there are people who are too attracted to the Internet and spend too much time on it called the Internet addicts Internet addiction can result in many problem in these people’s lives Firstly an Internet addict is someone who is unable to control his or her own use of the Internet and whose behaviors threatens to overwhelm his or her normal life Spending too 70 much time on the Internet, one person can lack of sleep, therefore be tired and be late for appointments or late for work It not only affects their work performance but also affect their personal lives such as long term bad health affect, spending not enough time with families and friends and so on Nowadays people hang out together don’t spend all the time to talk and enjoy the moment but they are usually more or less distracted by the Internet, such as a Facebook notification, an email The topics of the conversations are mainly about what they posted on Facebook, Twister, what other posted on Facebook, Twister for example Relationships between people are therefore disintegrated The Internet users should limit their time spending on the Internet and use it on somethings better and healthier such as sports, reading books, really hanging out with friends and taking care of their families Bài làm The Internet is an amazing information resource However, while there are many positive developments associated with the Internet, there are also certain fears and concerns One of the growing areas of concern is that of Internet addiction Internet addiction can result in many problems including a lack of sleep, lateness for appointments, neglect of work responsibilities, and the disintegration of marriages and families There are some solutions for that issue such as lessening the time using the internet, having healthier activities, asking for professional help and using time tracker programs Firstly, abstinence from this activity is the first step to treating this disorder Try to gradually lessen the number of hours in front of the computer You should change the environment as the user can associate Internet use with things such as the location of the computer and other items Secondly, it is better to work out a schedule of healthy activities Try to minimize free time in the schedule Examples of worthwhile activities are exercise, sports, and hobbies that don’t involve computers Thirdly, for severe cases of Internet addiction, you can get help from therapists, treatment programs, and support groups that can help in treating this disorder They know what is the best solutions to support you with this problem is Finally, a huge part of treating this addiction is to recognize that the user may revert to excessive Internet surfing This can be prevented by avoiding situations that will set off the 71 addiction again Whenever you're online, use a productivity or time tracking program to log your activity, and stick with a strict, time-limiting regiment Bài làm 4: In the current society, it is universally believed that the internet has been gaining its popularity at an amazing rate Some people assert that the internet bring us a lot of benefits while many others argue that its drawbacks should not be ignored But Internet addiction can result in many problems including a lack of sleep, lateness for appointments, neglect of work responsibilities, and the disintegration of marriages and families It is quite understandable that people from different backgrounds put different interpretations on the same issue Those who favor that the internet has many advantages give their reasons as follows In the first place, it is obvious that the internet brings us great convenience and efficiency For example, we can send Emails to our friends in other countries in a few minutes while sending a traditional letter takes us at least a week and costs much In the second place, it is a wellknown fact that we can make friends with people from all parts of world Apparently, It overcomes the geographical barriers and makes the world smaller Furthermore, it is true that the internet accelerates the flow of information and spreads education to all corners of the globe In other words, we can have easy and quick access to the latest information worldwide On the other hand, some other people hold a different attitude, argue that the internet has many weaknesses For one thing, it seems that it can easily lead to psychological problems For instance, an internet-addicted person tends to be isolated, self-centered and unsociable For another, it is obvious that there is a sharp rise in the number of cyber-crimes More and more financial crimes such as money laundering are committed via the internet In addition, it also has negative impacts on young people because there are a lot of obscene and violent contents online There is probably a little bit of truth in both arguments For my part, I completely agree with the latter view that the internet has more disadvantages than advantages It gives rise to people’s mental problem It results in various computer crimes It is harmful to the growth of the youth Bài làm 5: Internet addiction is a growing problem with more and more people The internet is much more accessible to people now than it was just a few years ago The internet 72 provides people with entertainment, loads of information, and an escape from everyday life, but like anything else, too much a good thing can be addictive This paper will cover what internet addiction is, preventing and treating internet addiction In the modern world internet access is a vital part of everyday life It is important for education, and is a necessary skill for those entering the job markets of today The internet is highly entertaining and informative These qualities make the internet an attractive escape from the stress of everyday life People can enter a different world and make the problems of the real world disappear Internet addiction has the same symptoms as an addition to drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, or caffeine When someone becomes addicted to the internet they will have increasing tolerance to the amount of time they spend online, withdrawal, mood changes between when online and off, and there will be an interruption of social relationships and activities People with an addiction will need more time online to be happy When access to the internet is not available people will show signs of anxiety, depression, irritability, trembling hands, and restlessness To prevent or treat internet addiction you should agree on some ground rules Parents should monitor the amount of time children spend online and should watch for the warning signs If there are signs of internet addiction, a plan should be worked out to help with the problem Stopping the use of the internet may not be necessary Like any other addiction, they may have to stop slowly Keep a timers or a schedule of the amount of time allowed online near the computer so that they can see when they are online Make sure that the computer is in a room of the house that has a lot of traffic, like the dining room or living room You may need to make a list of activities that the person could when not online In conclusion, internet obviously is one of the greatest inventions of human However, as internet addiction can bring many disadvantages for people, it should be prevented Help and management form schools, families, friends and oneself is very necessary WRITING TEST 73 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task Read the following extract from a book chapter Many American believe that the death penalty is effective in deterring people from committing murder However, others disagree, and many sociologists argue that the evidence does not support this view Now, write an essay to an educated reader to tell which point of view you agree with Include reasons and any relevant examples to support your answer You should write at least 250 words 73 Bài làm Capital punishment is the process of killing the offenders for the crimes they have committed It was very prominent in old days but these days capital punishment is diminishing and the authorities are opting for less barbaric way to punish the criminals I agree with alternative way of punishment which is less severe than death Capital punishment is not a solution In the first place, humans have no right to kill other human for any reason, no matter how severe the crime is Some crimes are committed by mentally sick people Those people are not responsible for their deeds They can be put in safer hospitals for their rest of life Moreover, it may happen that the offender has been convicted and executed wrongly Later upon further investigation he is proved to be innocent We not have any way to roll this back Somebody might lose their precious life which is not at all acceptable Moreover, there are various alternatives available; for instance life sentences These alternatives also serve the similar purpose of making criminals realize their mistakes Secondly, criminals should be shot dead for their mistakes Why should the government bear the expenses of killing criminals on the electrical chair or shooting site? Moreover, criminals’ families have to suffer from their relatives’ death, which will cause pressure and negative effects on families as well as society In conclusion, the government should have less severe alternatives We should avoid the capital punishment and try to make our society more humane Bài làm Many American believe that the death penalty is effective in deterring people from committing murder However, others disagree, and many sociologists argue that the evidence does not support this view I would like to support the second opinion about this concern With or without capital punishment people will still commit crimes The death penalty does not have conclusive evidence to be a tool in the criminal justice system to deter people from committing crime Firstly, the risk of executing innocent people exists in any justice system There have been and always will be cases of executions of innocent people No matter how developed a justice system is, it will always remain susceptible to human failure Unlike prison sentences, the death penalty is irreversible and irreparable 74 Secondly, the arbitrary application of the death penalty can never be ruled out The death penalty is often used in a disproportional manner against the poor, minorities and members of racial, ethnic, political and religious groups Thirdly, the death penalty is incompatible with human rights and human dignity The death penalty violates the right to life which happens to be the most basic of all human rights It also violates the right not to be subjected to torture and other cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment or punishment Furthermore, the death penalty undermines human dignity which is inherent to every human being Finally, the death penalty does not deter crime effectively The death penalty lacks the deterrent effect which is commonly referred to by its advocates As recently stated by the It is noteworthy that in many retentionist states, the effectiveness of the death penalty in order to prevent crime is being seriously questioned by a continuously increasing number of law enforcement professionals Bài làm 3: In today's modern world, we are constantly bombarded with the issue of death penalty which leads the public to assert that it should be replaced with life-long sentence in prison as they believed that society as a whole is committing murder by punishing murderers with death penalty Personally, I strongly agree with this statement There are several points to support this statement To begin, life in prison plays the same role as death penalty by giving the would-be offenders a deterrent The main purpose of punishment is to warn others about the possible negative impacts of committing murder, thus, life in prison is proven to be useful and effective in deterring the would-be murderers from committing murder Besides, life-long sentence in prison will not break their relatives' or friends' hearts It is because they are still able to visit the murderers in jail In addition, the murderers in jail can be rehabilitated and realize what they had done previously are unacceptable which may eventually cause them to change their attitudes and behaviors Moreover, the main reason of punishing murder with the realty penalty is to prevent them from re-offend which can also be avoided by life in prison The society will be peaceful and people can live in serenity as long as the murderers are sentenced into the jail all their lifetime By doing so, they have no opportunity to re-offend and, thus, will not cause any harmful effects to the citizens Furthermore, death penalty is considered to be a cruel and 75 cold-blooded act as every human being may make mistakes sometimes and so they should be punished using other ways like life in prison In conclusion, I strongly agree with the statement that life in prison is a better punishment for murderers as it will achieve the same result as death penalty I believe the murder rate will definitely be lowered with this punishment in our nation in the near future and our country will continue to prosper and flourish in the decades to come Bài làm 4: The death penalty is the punishment of execution, carried out legally against an individual convicted of a capital crime Those who support the death penalty might argue that it is just, and deters further murders, while others against it may argue that it is inhumane and it doesn’t solve any core problems in that person’s life However, I support death penalty because of several reasons Firstly, I believe that death penalty serves as a deterrent and helps in reducing crime Secondly, it is true that death penalty is irreversible, but it is hard to kill a wrongly convicted person due to the several chances given to the convicted to prove his innocence Thirdly, death penalty assures safety of the society by eliminating these criminals Finally, I believe in "lex tallionis" - a life for a life Anti-death penalty advocates believe that death penalty is irreversible and may become a cause of irreversible mistakes Once a person has been sentenced to death and thus death penalty practiced, there is nothing that can be done to undo the punishment if the accused turns out to be innocent I agree that death penalty is irreversible, but the chance of making a mistake in death penalty is extremely low Some people might think that death penalty is inhuman and barbarous, but ask those people who have lost their beloved or whose lives have been tied to a hospital bed because of some barbarous person I am sure they would be very unhappy to see the person who ruined their lives just getting a few years of imprisonment or mere rehabilitation In conclusion, Death penalty is good and serves a definite purpose of reducing crime as well as bringing justice to the criminals and innocent In order to serve its purpose, it must be adjusted and made more effective and efficient The justice system has changed dramatically in the past thirty years in order to make sure that the rightly accused is brought to justice I believe that death penalty should not be abolished, as it ensures the safety of the society, brings justice to those who have suffered and most importantly helps in reducing crime and criminals in our society Death penalty is important to keep the brightness of justice and public safety shining brightly on our society 76 WRITING TEST 77 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task Read the following extract from a book chapter Over the last few decades, the drug problem in the United States and in many other industrialized countries has become considerably worse In 1981, there were about million drug addicts in the United States; today there are around million The number of drug overdose deaths and drug-related homicides has also increased Now, write an essay to an educated reader to discuss your opinions about the solutions to drug addiction Include reasons and any relevant examples to support your answer You should write at least 250 words Bài làm: Drug addiction is a worrying problem that has been increasing immensely in our society today Drug addiction can hinder people from normal life In my opinion, the solution to this vice is that families, schools, and society should all have responsibility to fight against drug addiction Firstly, families need to give their children information about detrimental effects of addiction Parents should be attentive to children and follow their developing processes carefully Specifically, they should know well whom their children interact with Parents have the way to deter their children from interacting with bad friends or other addicts Moreover, a link between parents and teachers is necessary to cooperate in education of children To an addict, sympathy and love are really important in promoting their positive emotions and feelings which can help them fight against drugs Secondly, schools and universities should pay more attention to people at risk and help them be aware of negative impacts of drugs on people’s life Discrimination against addicts is considered to push them far from the community In contrast, they should be drawn into clubs and participate in physical activities, which can help addicts distract from the vice Furthermore, society is also responsible for addicts to have a healthy life The government is able to create more study or job opportunities for addicts, in which they are not differentiated among other people Additionally, effective laws should be enacted to stop drug dealers Those who intentionally involve in selling or buying drugs should be punished seriously 77 In conclusion, if families, schools and society cooperate to repel drug addiction, eliminating this vice will be largely successful Bài làm Over the last few decades, the society has been fighting hard to deal with drug addiction Every year, lots of money and manpower has been used in the effort of reducing drug related problems and finding effective solutions Although drugs threaten our lives, there are ways to fight back in this battle It can be seen clearly that drugs affect negatively society and families in it Firstly, the addicts are always too sick, mentally and physically to function as normal, responsible members of the community For instance, they often use up their own then strain their families for money to immerse their habits Secondly, drugs may easily cause crimes by those who profit from selling them and by the addicts who want the possible ways to support their need The society is struggling in defeating those problems which requires huge police force and financial resources However, together we can always find out solutions One possible way is to educate the youth For example, drug related issue can be discussed at family reunions or lectures at school By making young people aware of drug addiction, we help them to be away from the temptations it brings Another solution is to strengthen our laws and police force Increase the manpower and recourses help prevent the problems effectively The more attempts we put, the better chance we win Besides, promulgating strict laws against drugs may deter those who are about to commit the crimes All in all, although drug problems are almost impossible to eliminate or even control, we are able to weaken their effects on society and family We the grown-ups should educate our children to stay away from drugs Police force and laws should be strengthened and supported to protect the society more effectively If this battle is to be won, every one of us must be involve Bài làm Drug abuse is becoming increasingly serious in many nations Although drugs threaten many societies, their effects can also be combated successfully This essay looks at some of the problems caused by drug use on society, and suggests some solutions to the problems Drug abuse causes multiple problems for countries and communities The medical effects are very obvious Addicts abuse their bodies and neglect their health and, and so eventually 78 require expensive treatment or hospitalization In some cases, such as Marilyn Monroe, a drug overdose even leads to death The second effect is crime People who take drugs become crazy and irrational and often cause harm and danger to themselves and others However, the menace of drugs can be fought Education is the main way to tackle this issue People need to be aware of the effects so that they can avoid this problem Children need to be told at home and in school about the dangers and need for avoiding drugs The government could also use infomercials to educate their citizens A second approach is to increase police manpower and powers to stop dealers and to enforce the law In conclusion, drug abuse is a serious issue because it causes harmful effects on people’s health and people who are high often commit crimes The best approaches to deal with it are to educate the public

Read the following extract from a book chapter Some people argue that male and female brains are different and that this causes differences in behavior However, some other believe that most of the differences are the result of the way in which people bring up children at home and at school Adapted from Solutions pre-intermediate workbook – Writing bank, Page 103 Now, write an essay to an educated reader to tell which point of view you agree with Include reasons and any relevant examples to support your answer You should write at least 250 words Bài làm: Some people think that there is a difference between male and female brains and that makes their behavior different Some others argue that the way in which people raise their children at home and at school creates most of the differences I agree with the latter point of view In the past, researchers claimed they could tell the sex of an individual just by looking at their disembodied brain But a new study finds that human brains not fit neatly into “male” and “female” categories Indeed, all of our brains seem to share a patchwork of forms; some that are more common in males, others that are more common in females, and some that are common to both genders In fact, there are basic behavioral differences between the sexes, but we should note that these differences increase with age because our children's intellectual biases are being exaggerated and intensified by our gendered culture Children don't inherit intellectual differences They learn them They are a result of what we expect a boy or a girl to be For instance, a boy is taught to be strong and independent by their parents since he is expected to protect his family when he grows up 82 Last but not least, nor are the reasoning, speaking, computing, emphasizing, navigating and other cognitive differences fixed in the genetic architecture of our brains All such skills are learned and developed day by day, based on the experience children get from the school and their daily life In conclusion, the way parents raise their children can create the difference in behavior Gender does not matter Bài làm 2: Mother and father both play a crucial role in the upbringing of children Some people assert that women triumph over men to make better parents To irony this, other claim that men are as good as women This is very perplexing for anyone to choose one According to me women make better parents In support of my point of view, mother is one of the first persons who get attached with child from the birth Child spends most of the times- childhood with mother So child is more influenced by mother Secondly, mother is the only person who takes care of childlike feeding, bathing etc Thus, mother occupies most of the child's time This make strong bond between them When child become little older and starts to go school, mother takes care of child's study like homework, study, projects By this, mother plays a crucial role in child's education In addition, child learns moral values which are main ingredients to become good human from the mother only In our society, usually we find that women spend most of the time at home and men are only breadwinners In this type of situation the person who can spend chunk of the time on child for its nourishment is women Thus, women can keep her eyes on every small activity of child Apart from that, owing to closer relationship child shares the emotions and problems with mother first Thus, mother knows her child better than anyone On the flip side, to maintain the status of men, they argue that men are as good as women In spite of spending less time towards the child a man earn for his child A father makes future of the child financially secure As financial security is an important as building child's personality To put in a nutshell, both women and men are equally important But in our society women are superior to men in better parenting as they rear child very well
