1 Nowadays the way many people interact with each other has changed

because of technology

In what ways has technology affected the types of relationships that people

make? Has this been a positive or negative development?

It is true that new technologies have had an influence on communication

between people Technology has affected relationships in various ways, and in

my opinion there are both positive and negative effects

Technology has had an impact on relationships in business, education and

social life Firstly, telephones and the Internet allow business people in

different countries to interact without ever meeting each other Secondly,

services like Skype create new possibilities for relationships between students

and teachers For example, a student can now take video lessons with a

teacher in a different city or country Finally, many people use social networks,

like Facebook, to make new friends and find people who share common

interests, and they interact through their computers rather than face to face

On the one hand, these developments can be extremely positive Cooperation

between people in different countries was much more difficult when

communication was limited to written letters or telegrams Nowadays,

interactions by email, phone or video are almost as good as face-to-face

meetings, and many of us benefit from these interactions, either in work or

social contexts On the other hand, the availability of new communication

technologies can also have the result of isolating people and discouraging real

interaction For example, many young people choose to make friends online

rather than mixing with their peers in the real world, and these ‘virtual’

relationships are a poor substitute for real friendships

In conclusion, technology has certainly revolutionized communication

between people, but not all of the outcomes of this revolution have been

positive

to take video lessons: hoc qua video

to interact through their computers rather than face to face: tuwo’ng tác qua

máy tính hơn là trực tiếp

2 Some people think that the increasing use of computers and mobile phones

in communication has had negative effects on young people's reading and

writing skills To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Such technological equipment as mobile phones and computers have acquired

their significance in the modern-day communication of the young Personally, |

believe that this has both positive and negative effects on their reading and

writing skills

On the one hand, | agree that excessive reliance on these devices is

responsible for the young generation’s poor performance in reading and

writing Firstly, many people have a strong preference for computer software

when composing text documents due to its convenient functions For

example, Microsoft Word provides users with the ability to modify or erase a

piece of text without effort, simultaneously slowing down the writing speed of

the users In addition, young people who spend much time playing with their

phones and computers are likely to have insufficient time for reading

activities Gradually, the lack of practice may impair their reading competence

in the long term

On the other hand, it is also true that the proper use of electronic devices can

have a positive effect on reading and writing skills The Internet has now been

made accessible through both mobile phones and computers, allowing young

readers to gain knowledge from a wider range of sources Online English

newspapers, as an example, are useful for English learners to enrich their

vocabulary Using computers to write blogs is also a good way to enhance the

writing skill Today, the availability of Internet infrastructure can enable

bloggers to update their stories at their convenience By writing regularly, the

writing ability of a person is certain to improve

In conclusion, it seems to me that the use of electronic equipment items can

have both advantages and drawbacks for the reading and writing skills of

users, depending on the way they are used

3 Developments in technology has brought various environmental problems

Some believe that people need to live simpler lives to solve environmental

problems Others, however, believe technology is the way to solve these

problems Discuss both views and give your own opinion

The improvements in technology currently bring about harmful effects on the

environment While some people believe having simpler lives is the only

solution, | would argue that technological advances can help to tackle these

environmental problems

On the one hand, it is believed that individuals need to live simple lives and

rely less on technology The first suggestion is that people should walk or cycle

rather than drive cars This is because the current number of cars being

manufactured and used is increasing, which causes high levels of exhaust

fumes and makes air pollution become serious Additionally, people should try

to reduce their consumption of electricity so that the exploitation of natural

resources such as fossil fuels or nuclear power can be minimized An example

of this idea is the annual event called Earth Hour where everyone is asked to

turn their lights off for sixty minutes, which has been a major success

On the other hand, | believe the developments of technology can greatly

contribute to environmental protection Firstly, because of those

improvements, people are able to come up with ways to recycle materials

such as paper or glass, which reduces the problem of waste disposal

Secondly, technology can also help to create electricity using renewable

resources For example, many countries in the world have built plants that

utilize solar energy to generate power As a result, it is not necessary to rely

on non-renewable resources, and people can create electricity without

significantly damaging the environment

In conclusion, while some people think that they should live simpler lives to

prevent environmental issues, | would argue that these problems can be dealt

with by technological improvements

4, Studies show that many criminals have a low level of education For this

reason, people believe that the best way to reduce crime is to educate people

in prison so they can get a job when leave prison Do you agree or disagree?

Recently, crime has been increasing out of control Some hold the idea that in

order to deter crimes, criminals should be given proper education while in

prison Personally, | partly share the same view with this

It is my belief that nurture, not nature, is responsible for malignant and

antisocial behaviors That is to say, everybody is born with good personalities

and what turns some into criminals is parental neglect and lack of education

Many studies have shown that children who are not supervised by their

parents on a regular basis are many times more likely to go off the rails,

commit acts of selfishness or to behave aggressively against others This

rationalizes why | think a good number of prisoners after being released will

not repeat their offences if they are given education

In addition, while being in jail, inmates have plenty of time which can be

misspent For example, some of them spend their time on gambling with their

cellmates or accessing materials with objectionable contents Thus, giving

them the opportunity to be educated translates to the reduction of time which

can be potentially frittered away or used for malicious purposes

Nevertheless, there are objections to this perspective Those who oppose claim

that the potential program of giving education to criminals can cost a huge

amount of money from the Government budget However, considering the

result it can deliver in the long run as far as societal stability is concerned, this

program is not a waste of taxpayers’ money

What has been discussed above has effectively corroborated my view that

education can reduce participation in criminal activities and inmates should

receive education while serving their time

5 People today do not feel safe either at home or when they are out What

are the causes? What are the solutions?

In modern days, there has been a higher and higher percentage of those who

reported not feeling safe in their communities What has been disclosed in

recent surveys has highlighted the need to increase safety not only on the

streets but also at home The goal of this essay is to outline why this has

happened and put forward appropriate solutions

In countries rich and poor alike, much concern has been raised about safety

issue both on the street and at home, and their concern is justified In the first

place, individuals has been bombarded with tragic crime reports of murder,

rape or house robbery almost every day This is a particular issue in developing

countries where people are desperate enough to rely on committing crimes

for food, money or survival Besides, road fatalities have been rising on an

unprecedented scale, no matter what means of transportation taken

This problem can be firstly remedied by increasing the penalty for street

crime In view of the damaging consequences it can cause to victims, the

several-month prison sentence that is imposed to this kind of criminals is too

lenient and therefore should be made longer In addition to this, many

methods can be adopted to put the brakes on the death rates on the road For

example, the government can upgrade the infrastructure and also the road

condition

To conclude, street crime and road accidents can be identified as two most

common reasons why more and more people do not feel safe today It is

hoped that this issue be resolved before it gets out of hand

6 Some people say that when children under 18 are committing a crime they

should be punished, while others believe they should be educated To what

extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? Give your own opinion

Cases of juveniles committing crimes are on the rise lately While it is

absolutely necessary to punish those guilty of committing crimes, an argument

put forward in this case suggests underage criminals should be made aware

about their actions rather than being punished straightaway This essay shall

discuss the extent of feasibility of both solutions in the interest of the society

Over the last few years, there has been a worrying increase in the numbers of

young offenders being reported, where many of them are involved in

instances of burglaries, robberies, shoplifting and even street muggings In

the hostile environment that we live in, it becomes necessary to nip such

problems in the bud, lest the youngsters become full-fledged criminals when

they grow up Although many believe that the children of today’s generation

smart enough to comprehend the actions around them, many a time they are

not even remorseful for their actions Therefore, they should be tried in courts

as adults and punished according to the severity of the offence regardless of

them being underage

In contrast, a lot of people also believe that such treatment of teenage

offenders might not be the best solution Knowing the reason behind the crime

committed is an essential factor in deciding the punishment to be given The

environment during the upbringing of a child too influences his mentality to a

great extent Most of the research cases in this matter have indicated that

children who commit crimes, mostly do so because of some trauma they have

themselves suffered from in the past It is only logical that the judgement of

right and wrong of such children becomes impaired; therefore they should be

educated about the same, and not punished Rehabilitating them and flushing

all aggression from their minds is giving them a deserved chance to live a

better life, as they still have a lot of growing up to do

To conclude, this being a sensitive and debatable issue, in my opinion, | feel

the primary course of action for underage criminals is to provide them

guidance regarding the consequences of their actions | don’t fully agree with

7 Students today can easily access information online, so libraries are no

longer necessary To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Today, concerns are high about how the digital age will change the libraries

Some argue that libraries soon will sink into oblivion as nowadays information

of any field is readily available on the Internet To the best of my knowledge,

this idea should be rejected as one can see quite a few facts in favour of why

libraries are still of relevance in modern days

Generally speaking, students today are learning in conditions which are not

conducive to their education At home, they are attacked with all kinds of

noise coming from next door It is not a rare occasion when a party is

organized or a karaoke session is held In school, vehicle horns, the sound of

motorbike engines or from construction sites continue to wreak havoc on

students’ concentration In such situations, libraries are no less than oases in

the desert for the students They are places where it is invariably quiet

anytime they visit, where they have their work done effectively

Some hold the belief that libraries are no longer necessary in this day and age,

when knowledge and information is freely up for grabs for students From my

perspective, this view is flawed What this argument fails to take into account

is the fact that a significant amount of information on the Internet nowadays

has never been verified and therefore it is prejudiced, inaccurate or even

misleading Such information can potentially warp students’ perception on

many life issues, which can cause devastating effects on both their

professional careers and private lives later down the road Books, on the other

hands, are always censored before being published Hence, it is much better

for students to gain wisdom from books than from materials circulating the

Internet

These foregoing points have brought me to the conclusion that the importance

of libraries should not be downplayed despite many advancements made in

the technological era

To sink into oblivion: bi quén lang

8 Nowadays, many families have both parents working Some working

parents believe other family members like grandparents can take care of

their children, while others think childcare centres provide the best care

Discuss both views and give your own opinion

Currently, many parents tend to be busy working, and they need to rely on

someone else to take care of their offspring While some people think

childcare organizations can offer the best care, | would argue that it is better

for children to be looked after by their grandparents

On the one hand, it is believed that youngsters should be sent to childcare

centres for some reasons The first one is that since those centres are

professional organizations, their staff are often well trained and therefore

have good babysitting skills For example, when a child falls over and gets

himself injured, a staff can react quickly and give him first aid Furthermore,

children can have a chance to make friends with their peers when coming

there, which might increase their communication and language abilities If they

are looked after by their family at home, they might feel a bit lonely

On the other hand, | believe it is a better idea for grandparents to take care of

their grandchildren Firstly, as grandparents have lived for many years and

have brought up their own offspring, they have much experience in raising

children For instance, they might know how to calm the baby down when he

cries Secondly, grandparents are family members, so they love their

grandchildren more than other people do As a result, they tend to spend

much more time and effort caring for their grandchildren compared to a

childcare staff member Finally, youngsters looked after by their grandparents

are likely to become more family-oriented and appreciate the value of a happy

family

In conclusion, while there are some benefits of children being sent to childcare

centres, | believe they should be raised by their own grandparents

9 We cannot help everyone in the world that needs help, so we should

only be concerned with our own communities and countries To what extent

do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Some people believe that we should not help people in other countries as long

as there are problems in our own society | disagree with this view because |

believe that we should try to help as many people as possible

On the one hand, | accept that it is important to help our neighbours and

fellow citizens In most communities there are people who are impoverished

or disadvantaged in some way It is possible to find homeless people, for

example, in even the wealthiest of cities, and for those who are concerned

about this problem, there are usually opportunities to volunteer time or give

money to support these people In the UK, people can help in a variety of

ways, from donating clothing to serving free food in a soup kitchen As

the problems are on our doorstep, and there are obvious ways to help, | can

understand why some people feel that we should prioritize local charity

At the same time, | believe that we have an obligation to help those who live

beyond our national borders In some countries the problems that people face

are much more serious than those in our own communities, and it is often

even easier to help For example, when children are dying from curable

diseases in African countries, governments and individuals in richer

countries can save lives simply by paying for vaccines that already exist A

small donation to an international charity might have a much greater impact

than helping in our local area

In conclusion, it is true that we cannot help everyone, but in my opinion

national boundaries should not stop us from helping those who are in need

10 Many people decide on a career path early in their lives and keep to it

This, they argue, leads to a more satisfying working life To what extent do

you agree with this view? What other things can people do in order to have a

satisfying working life?

It is true that some people know from an early age what career they want to

pursue, and they are happy to spend the rest of their lives in the same

profession While | accept that this may suit many people, | believe that

others enjoy changing careers or seeking job satisfaction in different ways

On the one hand, having a defined career path can certainly lead to a

satisfying working life Many people decide as young children what they want

to do as adults, and it gives them a great sense of satisfaction to work towards

their goals and gradually achieve them For example, many children dream of

becoming doctors, but to realize this ambition they need to gain the relevant

qualifications and undertake years of training In my experience, very few

people who have qualified as doctors choose to change career because they

find their work so rewarding, and because they have invested so much time

and effort to reach their goal

On the other hand, people find happiness in their working lives in different

ways Firstly, not everyone dreams of doing a particular job, and it can be

equally rewarding to try a variety of professions; starting out on a

completely new career path can be areinvigorating experience Secondly,

some people see their jobs as simply a means of earning money, and

they are happy if their salary is high enough to allow them to enjoy life outside

work Finally, job satisfaction is often the result of working conditions, rather

than the career itself For example, a positive working atmosphere,

enthusiastic colleagues, and an inspirational boss can make working life much

more satisfying, regardless of the profession

In conclusion, it can certainly be satisfying to pursue a particular career for the

whole of one’s life, but this is by no means the only route to fulfillment

11 Some people think that all teenagers should be required to do

unpaid work in their free time to help the local community They believe

this would benefit both the individual teenager and society as a whole Do

you agree or disagree?

Many young people work on a volunteer basis, and this can only be beneficial

for both the individual and society as a whole However, | do not agree that we

should therefore force all teenagers to do unpaid work

Most young people are already under enough pressure with their studies,

without being given the added responsibility of working in their spare time

School is just as demanding as a full-time job, and teachers expect their

students to do homework and exam revision on top of attending lessons every

day When young people do have some free time, we should encourage them

to enjoy it with their friends or to spend it doing sports and other leisure

activities They have many years of work ahead of them when they finish their

studies

At the same time, | do not believe that society has anything to gain from

obliging young people to do unpaid work In fact, | would argue that it goes

against the values of a free and fair society to force a group of people to do

something against their will Doing this can only lead to resentment amongst

young people, who would feel that they were being used, and parents, who

would not want to be told how to raise their children Currently, nobody is

forced to volunteer, and this is surely the best system

In conclusion, teenagers may choose to work for free and help others, but in

my opinion we should not make this compulsory

12 Nowadays animal experiments are widely used to develop new medicines

and to test the safety of other products Some people argue that these

experiments should be banned because it is morally wrong to cause animals

to suffer, while others are in favour of them because of their benefits to

humanity Discuss both views and give your own opinion

It is true that medicines and other products are routinely tested on animals

before they are cleared for human use While | tend towards the viewpoint

that animal testing is morally wrong, | would have to support a limited

amount of animal experimentation for the development of medicines

On the one hand, there are clear ethical arguments against animal

experimentation To use a common example of this practice, laboratory mice

may be given an illness so that the effectiveness of a new drug can be

measured Opponents of such research argue that humans have no right to

subject animals to this kind of trauma, and that the lives of all creatures

should be respected They believe that the benefits to humans do not justify

the suffering caused, and that scientists should use alternative methods of

research

On the other hand, reliable alternatives to animal experimentation may

not always be available Supporters of the use of animals in medical

research believe that a certain amount of suffering on the part of mice or

rats can be justified if human lives are saved They argue that opponents of

such research might feel differently if a member of their own families needed

a medical treatment that had been developed through the use of animal

experimentation Personally, | agree with the banning of animal testing

for non-medical products, but | feel that it may be a necessary evil

where new drugs and medical procedures are concerned

In conclusion, it seems to me that it would be wrong to ban testing on animals

for vital medical research until equally effective alternatives have been

developed

13 Some people think that governments should give financial support to

creative artists such as painters and musicians Others believe that creative

artists should be funded by alternative sources Discuss both views and give

your own opinion

People have different views about the funding of creative artists While some

people disagree with the idea of government support for artists, | believe

that money for art projects should come from both governments and other

sources

Some art projects definitely require help from the state In the UK, there are

many works of art in public spaces, such as streets or squares in city centres In

Liverpool, for example, there are several new statues and sculptures in the

docks area of the city, which has been redeveloped recently These artworks

represent culture, heritage and history They serve to educate people about

the city, and act as landmarks or talking points for visitors and tourists

Governments and local councils should pay creative artists to produce this kind

of art, because without their funding our cities would be much less

interesting and attractive

On the other hand, | can understand the arguments against government

funding for art The main reason for this view is that governments have

more important concerns For example, state budgets need to be spent

on education, healthcare, infrastructure and security, among other areas

These public services are vital for a country to function properly, whereas the

work of creative artists, even in public places, is a luxury Another reason for

this opinion is that artists do a job like any other professional, and they should

therefore earn their own money by selling their work

In conclusion, there are good reasons why artists should rely on

alternative sources of financial support, but in my opinion government help is

sometimes necessary

14 Several languages are in danger of extinction because they are

spoken by very small numbers of people Some people say that

governments should spend public money on saving these languages,

while others believe that would be a waste of money Discuss both these

views and give your opinion

It is true that some minority languages may disappear in the near future

Although it can be argued that governments could save money by allowing this

to happen, | believe that these languages should be protected and preserved

There are several reasons why saving minority languages could be seen

as a waste of money Firstly, if a language is only spoken by a small

number of people, expensive education programmes will be needed to

make sure that more people learn it, and the state will have to pay for

facilities, teachers and marketing This money might be better spent on other

public services Secondly, it would be much cheaper and more efficient for

countries to have just one language Governments could cut all kinds of costs

related to communicating with each minority group

Despite the above arguments, | believe that governments should try to

preserve languages that are less widely spoken A language is much more

than simply a means of communication; it has a vital connection with

the cultural identity of the people who speak it If a language disappears, a

whole way of life will disappear with it, and we will lose the rich cultural

diversity that makes societies more interesting By soending money to protect

minority languages, governments can also preserve traditions, customs

and behaviours that are part of a country’s history

In conclusion, it may save money in the short term if we allow minority

languages to disappear, but in the long term this would have an

extremely negative impact on our cultural heritage

15 Some people think that museums should be enjoyable places to entertain

people, while others believe that the purpose of museums is to educate

Discuss both views and give you own opinion

People have different views about the role and function of museums In

my opinion, museums can and should be both entertaining and educational

On the one hand, it can be argued that the main role of a museum is

to entertain Museums are tourist attractions, and their aim is to exhibit

a collection of interesting objects that many people will want to see The

average visitor may become bored if he or she has to read or listen to too

much educational content, so museums often put more of an emphasis on

enjoyment rather than learning This type of museum is designed to be

visually spectacular, and may have interactive activities or even games

as part of its exhibitions

On the other hand, some people argue that museums should focus on

education The aim of any exhibition should be to teach visitors

something that they did not previously know Usually this means that the

history behind the museum’s exhibits needs to be explained, and this can

be done in various ways Some museums employ professional guides to

talk to their visitors, while other museums offer headsets so that visitors can

listen to detailed commentary about the exhibition In this way, museums can

play an important role in teaching people about history, culture, science and

many other aspects of life

In conclusion, it seems to me that a good museum should be able to offer an

interesting, enjoyable and educational experience so that people can have fun

and learn something at the same time
