ANSWER opponents of this idea: opponents are people who disagree with an idea; they horizontal city is the best, while the are against an idea, a policy or a rule; Some people believe that living in a opponents of this idea prefer to settle to settle in: to decide to live in a in a vertical city While there are specific place; to decide to move to an area and stay there benefits to residents who dwell in a city which consists of low-rise construction, I would argue that cities with skyscrapers and high-rise buildings based on: to be the reason for something offer more advantages financial and security reasons: financial refers to money issues, like On the one hand, it is beneficial for paying fees; security refers to safety, residents to live in a horizontal city like being safe in your own home in terms of crime or emergencies based on a few financial and security reasons Firstly, people have to pay private house: private describes the fact that you own the house, and less for building services If residents therefore you make all decisions about settle in a private house, they may it and pay for repairs and maintenance yourself, versus paying apartment or save a great deal of money since they condo fees won’t have to pay for building services lower to the ground: to be close to the Secondly, living lower to the ground ground, which makes it easy to get out is safer for

areas reasons because the building is not too high off to take much time to: this phrase talks the ground and it won’t take much about how long something takes to do; time to leave it will or will not take much time to something On the other hand, it seems to me that best choice: the thing that you should choose to because it is the best living in a vertical city is the best option choice A city with skyscrapers will to have more space forpublic usage: have more space forpublic usage to have more land available for because there will be less land used for building public buildings, like government offices or parks, etc residential areas due to the amount of due to: the reason for something people who can live in high buildings As a result, the government would be able to use this land to build hospitals, schools or places for entertainment Furthermore, it is much more much more convenient for: used to describe when something is much convenientfor residents to live in an easier for somebody to compared to apartment in a tall building which something else offers a wide range of goods and services, thanks to shopping malls and thanks to something or somebody: used to express the idea that something service centers on lower floors is good because of something specific In conclusion, while living in a horizontal city does have some benefits, it seems to me that the the better choice: used when you are Lớp Package online 2020: https://ieltsngocbach.com/package Hotline tư vấn đăng ký học: 0974657403 (email: ieltsbach1707@gmail.com) advantages of life in a city with comparing things, there may be several good choices, but one is clearly the skyscrapers makes living in a vertical better choice, better than all the others city the better choice 329 words (17/01/2015) Some people think that there should be some strict controls about noise Others think that they could just make as much noise as they want Discuss both views and give your opinion ANSWER: It is argued that some essential measures should be applied to control essential measures: to create a rule or law that is necessary or important to noise While some individuals say that promote or stop some type of behavior they have the freedom to make noise as they like, I would argue that it would be better to reduce noise reduce noise: to lessen the amount of noise from some source, like from traffic, machines, clubs, etc On the one hand, some people like to make as much noise as they want for various reasons Firstly, many of them various reasons: a variety of reasons feel more comfortable and free when why you might something, different creating noise from different activities reasons while working or entertaining For example, turning the volume louder to enjoy favourite songs makes them feel relaxed after a long busy day, although Lớp Package online 2020: https://ieltsngocbach.com/package Hotline tư vấn đăng ký học: 0974657403 (email: ieltsbach1707@gmail.com) it may disturb their next-door next-door neighbours: people who live right next to you in a neighborhood neighbours Secondly, people often or in an apartment building consider noise as a part of the industrialization and modernization process, therefore it is unavoidable modernization process: the things that people as they modernize their Traffic noise or engine noise seems to economy have become more familiar to urban citizens As a result, they feel that there urban citizens: people who live in are no particular reasons to control cities, in urban areas vs in rural areas noise On the other hand, I believe that it is particular reasons: certain or specific reasons why you or don’t something more beneficial to impose some laws to strictly control noise The first reason is that noise has harmful impacts on people‘s health For instance, some of harmful impacts: when something causes a negative effect on something my friends cannot sleep at night because of intrusive sounds from a nearby industrial zone If this situation intrusive sounds: sounds negatively affect your experience lasts for a long time, it will definitely that lead to a deterioration in their mental and physical health Furthermore, the productivity of work may be reduced as a consequence of noise A lot of white-collar workers report that they cannot fully concentrate on their tasks Lớp Package online 2020:

noise should be limited in order to have a better life, although some people insist on making a lot of noise without any consideration for others 291 words consideration for others: caring about what another thinks about something or how it might affect them (21/03/2015) Some people believe famous people's support towards international aid organizations draws attention to problems Others think celebrities make the problems less important Discuss both views and give your opinion global aid organizations: international organizations that provide money and It is argued that well-known people’s specific types of assistance to areas involvement in global aid around the world ANSWER: organizations attracts the attention of the community While some people attracts the attention of: to get the attention of, to something in a way suppose that their participation may that makes people look downplay the significance of problems, I would argue that this trend downplay the significance of: to

ký học: 0974657403 (email: ieltsbach1707@gmail.com) positive changes: On the one hand, famous people can changes that are big, important or significant and good lessen the importance of problems One reason is that most people often famous people: people who are known for something, like musicians, actors, celebrities’ support as a way to politicians consider the main purpose of enhance their reputations In an effort to attract the attention of society, a number of important people try to enhance their reputations: to make people think good thoughts about you be involved in as many volunteer so that you have a good reputation projects as possible without any particular passion or interest in those important people: people who play Furthermore, the association with important roles in society for some reason or another celebrities may trivialize the serious work of international aid organizations volunteer projects: projects that volunteers work on, like feeding the shifted away from this endeavour to the homeless since the focus of the public may be fame and public image of the celebrity concerned Consequently, we sometimes have to question their motives for involvement On the other hand, I strongly believe that celebrities can bring meaningful changes to social activities Firstly, they have a huge number of fans who are inspired by their actions For Lớp Package online 2020: https://ieltsngocbach.com/package Hotline tư vấn đăng ký học: 0974657403 (email: ieltsbach1707@gmail.com) example, when My Tam- a Vietnamese legendary singer - took part in a project question their motives: to wonder why someone is doing something, to to help underprivileged children in question the motivation for why mountainous areas, thousands of someone will something youngsters from her fan clubs joined in this project by donating money and working as volunteers thanks to her encouragement Secondly, celebrities are often trusted by both local and international communities, which may huge number of: a large amount of something lead to success in raising the profile of aid organizations As a result , more people learn about projects and donate money or volunteer to help either practically or in fund-raising underprivileged children: children who don’t have a lot of money, In conclusion, although there are some education or opportunities drawbacks to celebrity participation in international aid organizations, it seems to me that it is more advantageous for the community that they take part in voluntary activities: activities that people on a voluntary basis, without voluntary activities getting paid, they it volunteers 309 words Lớp Package online 2020: https://ieltsngocbach.com/package Hotline tư vấn đăng ký học: 0974657403 (email: ieltsbach1707@gmail.com) (27/06/2015) People today not feel safe either at home or when they are out What are the causes? What are the solutions? ANSWER It is true that many people think that they are no longer safe either in their allay those fears [verb]: make those own houses or when they are in the fears less strong street or other public places Some causes for this feeling can be identified, but I believe that some solutions could help to allay those fears The perception that society is unsafe and that people are at risk even at home stems from at least two important causes Firstly, the widening gap between the rich and the poor is one of the factors behind the rising crime rate in many countries In Vietnam, for example, burglary and robbery have become increasingly common, because some criminals turn to crime simply as a way to survive Secondly, everyone who uses the roads is aware of the dangers resulting from the dramatic increase in traffic In the past, parents allowed their children to play freely in the street, but this is unthinkable nowadays stems from from [phrasal verb]: result burglary [noun]: the crime of illegaly entering a building and stealing things from it [robbery is the crime of stealing things from a shop/a person/a bank, usually using violence] unthinkable [adjective]: impossible to imagine or accept Some simple measures should be implemented to deal with these root insecurity [noun]: the state of not causes of insecurity It is necessary to being safe or protected provide more job training programs to help people out of poverty and into Lớp Package online 2020: https://ieltsngocbach.com/package Hotline tư vấn đăng ký học: 0974657403 (email: ieltsbach1707@gmail.com) employment With increasing prosperity and opportunities, the need to steal from others would be reduced and everyone would feel safer In terms of greater security on the roads, more surveillance cameras should be installed These could be placed on trains and buses and also sited along major roads, which would help to ensure that motorists obeyed speed limits and drive safely The public would feel much safer knowing that such cameras were in place surveillance cameras [noun]: cameras which record actions at a place where a crime may be committed sited [verb]: placed something in a certain position In conclusion, the problem of poverty as a cause of burglary and robbery and the problem of road safety can be tackled by effective measures, giving people a greater sense of security 290 words (07/11/2015): Whether or not someone achieves their aims is mostly by a question of luck To what extent you agree or disagree? ANSWER: It is argued that some people’s success is mostly attributable to luck instead of their own hard work However, I completely disagree with this opinion attributable (to) [adjective]: caused by the thing mentioned In this context, success is the result of luck industrious [adjective]: hard-working, busy attain [verb]: to succeed in getting I believe that only determined and something, usually after a lot of effort industrious people will be successful Lớp Package online 2020: https://ieltsngocbach.com/package Hotline tư vấn đăng ký học: 0974657403 (email: ieltsbach1707@gmail.com) in whatever they Hard-working people usually attain their goals For instance, Steve Jobs spent thousands of hours coding and experimenting to bring out the great Macintosh operating system that we use nowadays Another clear case of success through determination is Nick Vujicic, an Australian motivational speaker, who suffered from a rare disorder which resulted in the absence of four limbs Despite not having any hands or legs, Vujicic earned a bachelor degree with a double major in accountancy and financial planning; he had his own family, and now he travels around the world to inspire people as a motivational speaker code [verb]: to write a computer program by putting one system of numbers, words and symbols into another system motivational [adjective]: making somebody want to something, especially something which requires a lot of effort suffer from [phrasal verb]: to be badly affected by a disease, pain, sadness or a lack of something disorder [noun]: an illness that causes a part of the body to stop functioning properly limbs [noun]: arms and legs On the other hand, by contrast, luck is only a small factor in determining one’s achievement Firstly, people cannot solely be dependent on luck to become successful If a student does not study for an exam, chances are he or she will fail, no matter how lucky he or she may be Secondly, luck only contributes to short-term fortune For instance, a person who wins a lottery is definitely lucky because winning a lottery does not require you to anything to earn it It purely depends on luck; yet, he or she cannot win the lottery for the rest of his or her life accountancy [noun] the profession of an accountant, dealing with figures for tax or other purposes dependent [adjective] needing something in order to survive or to be successful lottery [noun] a way of raising money by selling tickets The tickets have numbers on them which people have chosen Numbers are chosen by chance and the people with those numbers win prizes purely [adverb] completely, entirely, Lớp Package online 2020: https://ieltsngocbach.com/package Hotline tư vấn đăng ký học: 0974657403 (email: ieltsbach1707@gmail.com) 10 It is true that increasing numbers of people now live in cities in housing which is cramped or where there is no not having outdoor area While living in small cramped[adjective]: flats or houses may be more enough space or time affordable, I would argue that this is affordable[adjective]: able to be largely a negative development bought or rented by people who not earn a lot of money Smaller housing units are cheaper to rent or to buy, and therefore many urban dwellers choose to live in them as the best available option In the developing world, the mass exodus to the cities has resulted in a high population density, and the available housing stock has been inadequate to cope with growing demands Highrise buildings, comprising small flats, have been constructed as a response to public housing needs or as the best means for property developers to make money Yet they are in popular demand, as many people are prepared to put up with living in a confined space or to endure squalid living conditions, because they cannot afford exorbitant rents It is a much better alternative than living on the streets However, this trend in the property market has significant negative aspects Firstly, with lack of space comes lack of privacy Even in a developed country like the UK, many traditional houses which used to occupy the inner city areas, have now urban dweller: a person who lives in an urban area mass exodus: the movement of a lot of people from a place population density: a measurement of population per unit area or unit volume housing stock: the total number of houses and apartments in an area inadequate[adjective]: too small in amount to cope with: to deal successfully with a difficult situation High-rise building: a tall building public housing: a form of housing tenure in which the property is owned by a government authority property developers: a person whose job involves buying and selling buildings and land, and arranging for new buildings to be built endure[verb]: to suffer something Lớp Package online 2020: https://ieltsngocbach.com/package Hotline tư vấn đăng ký học: 0974657403 (email: ieltsbach1707@gmail.com) 29 been divided into multiple occupancy, with all the inconvenience of sharing bathrooms and kitchens Secondly, a feature of contemporary urban living is the lack of a garden, or even a yard, in which children can play or laundry can be dried If children cannot play outside in the sunshine, then their physical development will suffer and, of course, they will be unhappy difficult, unpleasant, or painful squalid[adjective]: extremely dirty and unpleasant living conditions: the circumstances of a person's life—shelter, food, clothing, safety, access to clean water, and such exorbitant rents: very high amount of money that you pay regularly for the use of a room, house, car, etc that someone else owns living on the streets: to be homeless In conclusion, while some welcome a the property market: the buying and small living space as their only selling of land and buildings financial option, this trend must be inner city areas: the central part of a city where people live regarded as largely negative 294 words multiple occupancy: residential properties where ‘common areas’ exist and are shared by more than one household a feature of contemporary urban living: a typical quality of city life today laundry[noun]: the dirty clothes and sheets that need to be, are being, or have been washed 15 (02/11/2017): People are living longer Some people think that this it causes big problems Others, however, think the aging population has many advantages for business, government and for society in general Discuss both views and give your own opinion Essay: It is true that the life expectancy of Lớp Package online 2020: https://ieltsngocbach.com/package Hotline tư vấn đăng ký học: 0974657403 (email: ieltsbach1707@gmail.com) 30 people throughout the world is increasing While some people fear the consequences of this trend, I agree with those who contend that it has national and local authorities: significant benefits for business, government organizations acting at a national level or within a smaller, local government and the whole of society area On the one hand, some believe that an aging population will have serious economic and social consequences, and will therefore present serious problems for national and local authorities They imagine a decline in labour productivity as the workforce becomes older Then, as people extend their working lives, they foresee a time when younger people will be denied the chance to pursue a successful career and will have only limited promotion opportunities They also argue that an increasingly elderly population will place an intolerable strain on public health services and on state-funded pension schemes If governments not curb public spending in these areas, it will be necessary to impose spending cuts which will impact unfairly on younger people, in fields like education and family allowances labour productivity: the rate at which a worker, a company or a country produces goods, and the amount produced, compared with how much time, work and money is needed to produce them to pursue a successful career: to have a series of jobs in a particular area of work, with more responsibility as time passes promotion opportunities: chances to move to a more important position in a company or organization public health services: the agencies funded by the government to protect and promote the health pension schemes: a system in which you and your employer pay money regularly into a fund, to use when you retire from work of the population On the other hand, I agree with the view that such fears are exaggerated to curb public spending: to restrict Lớp Package online 2020: https://ieltsngocbach.com/package Hotline tư vấn đăng ký học: 0974657403 (email: ieltsbach1707@gmail.com) 31 Firstly, technology has revolutionized the nature of work, and modern highskills businesses require employees who have acquired skills and knowledge over many years Instead of taking early retirement, senior employees can easily job-share with younger colleagues, passing on their valuable experience Secondly, when governments prioritize expenditure on health, every member of society benefits Also, with the promotion of health awareness campaigns and the growing emphasis on preventive medicine, many people are remaining fit for most of their lives what the something government spends on to impose spending cuts: to introduce new rules to spend less money on something to experience/knowledge/skill acquire : to gain experience/knowledge/skill by your own efforts or behavior to take early retirement: to stop working before reaching the age at which people usually stop working to job share: to share the hours of work and the pay of one job between The view that older people should be two people economically marginalized and represent a burden to society is profoundly misguided, and to pass on: to give someone something governments must instead recognize that someone else has given you the contribution of older people to the economy and to society as a whole to prioritize expenditure on: to put the need to spend money on certain 296 words things first health awareness campaigns:

cannot influence decisions or events misguided (adjective): wrong, because you have understood or judged a situation badly 16 (02/02/2019): More and more people want to buy famous brands of clothes, cars and other items What are the reasons? Do you think it is a positive or negative development? Essay: It is true that a growing number of people want to buy well-known designer labels of many consumer products While there are some obvious reasons for this trend, I believe that it is a totally negative development The reasons for the increasing consumer concern with brand names are simple to explain Firstly, the marketing departments of giant corporations aim to identify their goods with a glamorous and successful lifestyle, and people are easily swayed by advertisements Companies often use celebrity endorsement to promote their products, with famous people like Cristiano Ronaldo or Victoria glamorous [adjective]: especially attractive, exciting and different from ordinary things to be swayed by advertisements: to be influenced to buy things as a result of advertising celebrity endorsement: A form of brand or advertising campaign that involves a well known person using their fame to help promote a product or service to promote their products: to make products popular by advertising them to squander savings: to waste money by not using it to your Lớp Package online 2020: https://ieltsngocbach.com/package Hotline tư vấn đăng ký học: 0974657403 (email: ieltsbach1707@gmail.com) 33 Beckham Secondly, the possession of a Mercedes car or a Gucci handbag, for example, advertises one’s own wealth and taste to others The idea behind owning a brand name is to make others jealous However, I would argue that this is a completely negative development In terms of what ordinary people can afford, consumers are encouraged by corporations to squander their savings on designer goods which the companies promise will improve their lives and make them happy From a social perspective, such messages are very dangerous, encouraging crime, for example to steal the latest cell phones from people in the street The target audience is often young people, who companies seek to attract by promoting brand awareness of their products such as Coca Cola, Nike or Samsung These are now considered to be essential items to have in our modern global village advantage target audience: consumers whom businesses aim at when selling their products brand awareness: the action of bringing the name of a company to the attention of the public consumerism [noun]: the act of buying or using goods or services In conclusion, there are some important reasons to explain why many people find brand name products so attractive Although famous designer labels are increasingly in demand, I would argue that this form of consumerism gives people a false idea of what is Lớp Package online 2020: https://ieltsngocbach.com/package Hotline tư vấn đăng ký học: 0974657403 (email: ieltsbach1707@gmail.com) 34 important in our lives 281 words 17 (23/03/2019): It is expected that there will be a higher proportion of older people than that of young people in many countries in the future? Do you think it is a positive or negative development? Essay: It is predicted that in many countries the percentage of the elderly population will be higher than the proportion of the young generation While this will to confront (a problem or difficulty) create some problems, I believe that it [verb]: to appear and to need to be dealt with by somebody is on balance a positive development On the one hand, the main issue confronting countries with a large elderly population is the cost of providing public health services As people grow older, they generally need more medical attention It will, therefore be necessary for governments to impose spending cuts or to raise taxes on incomes or goods in order to provide funding for increased health care In countries like the USA and the UK, many people fear that they may be faced with large health bills in their old age and have decided to take out private health insurance They argue that the resources of a welfare state will not be adequate to guarantee good health care when they are old public health services: the agencies funded by the government to protect and promote the health of the population to impose spending cuts: to introduce new rules to spend less money on something to raise taxes on: to increase the amount of tax on something to provide funding for: to give money to enable something to be done to be faced with [expression]: if you are faced with a particular situation, Lớp Package online 2020: https://ieltsngocbach.com/package Hotline tư vấn đăng ký học: 0974657403 (email: ieltsbach1707@gmail.com) 35 you have to deal with it On the other hand, I agree with those who argue that the world is changing and fewer young people will be required to work in future Firstly, advances in technology mean fewer young workers are needed Robotics technology is still in its infancy, but fewer workers are needed now in many occupations For example, laboursaving appliances have replaced many workers in the industrial and service sectors Secondly, as populations age, the number of people will decline The present world population of about billion is depleting the natural resources on which everyone depends In conclusion, although the health costs of caring for an increasingly elderly population will be high initially, an aging population will avoid both the future problems of an army of young jobless people, and also population pressure which will provoke an ecological crisis 290 words to take out private health insurance: to make regular payments to an insurance company, who will pay for medical or hospital treatment when you need it a welfare state: a taxation system which allows governments to provide for the economic and social wellbeing of its citizens adequate [adjective]: enough for a particular purpose or need advances in technology: the improvement or development in technology robotics technology: the design, construction and operation of robots to be in its infancy: to be in the early development of something labour-saving appliances: machines that reduce the amount of work or effort needed to something to deplete natural resources: To reduce the amount of natural resources jobless [noun]: without a job an ecological crisis: a serious situation that occurs when the environment of a species or a population changes in a way that destabilizes its continued survival Lớp Package online 2020: https://ieltsngocbach.com/package Hotline tư vấn đăng ký học: 0974657403 (email: ieltsbach1707@gmail.com) 36 18 (06/04/2019): People have little understanding of the importance of the natural world What are the reasons for this, and how can people learn more about the natural world? Essay: It is true that most people not realize how important the natural world is While there are some reasons to explain this lack of knowledge, there the disappearance of traditional are ways in which people can improve ways of life: the fact that traditional their understanding ways no longer exist I believe that the major reason why many people not appreciate the value of the natural world is the disappearance of traditional ways of life In terms of work, hunting, fishing or agriculture are now the occupation of a small minority of the workforce in most countries Advances in technology mean that most people now spend a large part of their day in a closed working environment, such as an office, shop or factory, without any contact with nature From a cultural perspective, traditional festivals related to the natural seasons in agricultural communities have fallen by the wayside Celebrations of nature, for example at times of spring or harvest, which once provided a link to our roots, continue only in the hands of an ageing population, while younger advances in technology: the improvement or development in technology working environment: the conditions that you work in to fall by the wayside: if something falls by the wayside, it is no longer used harvest: the time of year when crops are collected on a farm to provide a link to our roots: to connect with previous generations in the hands of an ageing population: dependent on the elderly to be addicted to: to be unable to stop taking harmful drugs, tobacco or Lớp Package online 2020: https://ieltsngocbach.com/package Hotline tư vấn đăng ký học: 0974657403 (email: ieltsbach1707@gmail.com) 37 generations are electronic media addicted to the alcohol the electronic media: broadcast media which use electronic technology, such However, people can learn about the as the internet, television, radio, DVDs natural world in three important ways etc Firstly, there are many opportunities to become involved in local volunteer environmentally friendly: behavior or work, carrying out environmentally products that not harm the friendly tasks like planting trees environment Secondly, schools should include nature studies and environmental science in the curriculum Finally, to stimulate: to encourage something more nature documentaries on TV and to develop the internet would stimulate a revival a revival of interest in: the process of of interest in the world around us something becoming more popular They are an excellent means of again informing the public about life on the planet, and the need to combat the environmental degradation: the environmental degradation which process or fact of the environment threatens it becoming worse In conclusion, although there are important reasons why there is little public understanding of the natural world, there are ways in which this lack of knowledge can be overcome 289 words 19 (18/06/2019): Many people disagree with a school policy which forces children to learn new languages To what extent you agree or disagree?

foreign language should be compulsory in schools While it could be argued that learning a new language is valuable in schools, I believe that such a policy should not be made compulsory On the one hand, it is advantageous for schoolchildren to study a foreign language One reason is that in some schools there are opportunities to participate in organised exchange visits with overseas students, or to travel on school trips to countries with a different language and culture In these ways, children can assimilate knowledge and even acquire social skills while having fun at the same time Another reason is that if children are able to speak a foreign language, they may find this useful in later life It could improve their job prospects and help them to pursue a successful career advantageous: good or useful in a particular situation to assimilate knowledge: to absorb and understand knowledge to have social skills: to have the personal skills required for successful communication and interaction job prospects: the chances of being successful and having more opportunities at work to pursue a successful career: to have a series of jobs in a particular area of work,

Given a busy timetable, pupils may prefer to study things which they think will benefit them in the future, such as science or mathematics to disrupt lessons: to make it difficult to conduct the lesson in the normal way to cover a lot of ground: to deal with much information and many facts In conclusion, although learning a new language would be useful, fun and challenging for children, I feel that this should not form a compulsory part of the school curriculum 260 words 20 (19/10/2019): Many people are now spending more and more time travelling to work or school Some people believe

difficulties of getting to work have prompted some employers to introduce flexible working hours Many employees prefer this flexibility, and it has proved helpful in particular for working mothers who need to pick up their children after school A second benefit is in the field of education Most universities now offer an option for distance learning, recognising the fact that lengthy journeys deter many potential students Now, the virtual classroom enables studies to be done at home to prompt: to make somebody decide to something/ to make something happen flexible working hours: hours of work that can be changed by agreement between the employer and the employee working mothers: Mothers who have to go out to work as well as to look after children to pick up : to go somewhere and collect
