Viết đoạn văn Some people think that speaking a language is a good way to understand the culture of that language What is your opinion? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer Nowadays, knowing a foreign language is very necessary It helps us to able to understand the culture of the country Therefore, I agree with the statement “Some people think that a person can never understand the culture of country unless they speak the language.” because there are some reasons below Firstly, it is very easy for us to understand the tradition of the country which we haven’t lived there yet if we know the language of that country For instance, we can talk to the local people who are native speakers Secondly, speaking a language helps us to be easy to get a good job in the future Mr Tam my neighbor have been working for a foreign company since he can speak English vey fluently Now his salary is very high, so he can support his old parents and his family life is stable Finally, speaking a language is very useful for traveling When you know how to speak English and you travel to another country, think about where you could go if you spoke English, perhaps Australia, England, the US or many other countries Actually, English is an international language is a different one, we can still communicate with people in English Besides, making friends from different countries all over the world is not difficult So why don’t we plan our next vacation abroad? In short, I believe that speaking foreign language is very important because it always brings a lot of benefits for our life Now I try my best to know many languages which are popular in the world The culture of different countries are becoming increasingly similar, so there is no point for people to go traveling abroad as they could have the same experience at home Do you agree or disagree? I agree with the statement “The culture of different countries are becoming increasingly similar, so there is no point for people to go traveling abroad as they have the same experience at home.” because there are some reasons below Firstly, traveling can make you develop cultural sensitively and will help you learn a new language Secondly, in an increasingly globalized world, being culturally sensitive is the key It is not enough to say “People from this country are like this” Being aware of cultural values can help us understand international issues and conflicts And it is an important skill to be able to shift perspectives and see where someone is coming from Finally, through traveling you will be able to learn a new language which is part of the culture of a country When you are living in a foreign country, you will be forced to challenge and practice your language skills or a daily basis In short, traveling abroad is still the best way to experience the culture first-hand and be able to enjoy it Some people think that people will forget their own tradition and history because they no longer wear their traditional costumes Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer I disagree with the statement “Some people think that people will forget their own tradition and history because they no longer wear their traditional costumes.” because there are some reasons Firstly, I must clarify one important conception – the traditional costume is merely one part of the tradition We can hardly draw the conclusion that our tradition and history will be obliterated if we not wear traditional costumes Secondly, the culture is always changing It reveals a significant truth that our tradition and history are advancing Therefore, tradition should not be limited to ancient cultural icons Finally, it is our freedom to choose what we want to wear Our basic right cannot be deprived of anybody For example, the assumption that the government requires everybody to wear Tang costume does not equal to the renaissance of the Tang Dynasty In short, I disagree with the proposal of re-wearing traditional costumes It is said that modern life is better today than it was in the last century Do you agree or disagree with the statement? I agree with the statement “It is said that modern life is better today than it was in the last century.” because there are some reasons To begin with, modern life gets better and better means that people live in a higher condition There are more tall buildings in big cities, but in the last century, people used to live in small houses and cottages Furthermore, people travel by car, bus, train, plane and so on Especially, now women have the right in society, stand for election and also be respected in the family Another reason is that the advance of technology is useful in our daily life People can talk anywhere they like by using electric devices such as smartphones or laptops Thanks to modern technology, the world’s economy has grown quickly and the proportions of the poor or disabled in a society have considerably decreased In summary, it’s true to say that modern life is better than it was Better means change On the other hand, in the last century, people used to live in an uncomfortable life without modern technology Today, many students have part time jobs However, it is said that working after class affects their study and health What is your opinion? Today, many students have part time jobs which bring them some benefits, but working after class affects their study and health On the other hand, the first advantage is that students can earn money to pay the tuition Moreover, earning money also helps students have a sense of independence Another advantage is that students can acquire more experiences and polish their skills when taking part time jobs It can helps students develop their organizational and multi-tasking skills On the contrary, there are some disadvantages, too First of all, it is the lack of time for focus on studies Students doing part-time jobs are busy running between the working place and the university AS a result, they get exhausted and even skip classes to have a sleep after work Moreover, they may experience stress with a difficult or time-consuming project Also, it can endanger the health In short, taking part time jobs is not only useful but also harmful for study And when we take it, we can’t ignore our other duties There are many different types of music in the world today Why we need music? Is the traditional music of a country more important than the international music that is heard everywhere nowadays? Music is a magical factor helping us reduce the stress in life Today, we listen to several kinds of music and I think the traditional music of a nation is more significant than the international one From the childhood, almost people fell asleep with songs of mother and music gradually became a part of our lives When we grew up, we approached music closer and listening to music has been a way to relax Moreover, music is the message from artists in order to spread the love to community Many genres of music are heard these days, but from my point of view, the traditional one is the most important to a country, but the international music is very easy-listening, it gains the popularity of the audiences Meanwhile, the traditional music is a national identity which makes the listeners discriminate the countries It expresses the culture and history of a nation That is the reason why most of the countries want to preserve and develop this kind of music To conclude, our lives become meaningful with music and I believe that the traditional music is more important than the international music Many people believe that university students should pay tuition fees in full themselves because they gain education for own benefit and not for the society To what extent you agree or disagree? I disagree with the statement “Many people believe that university students should pay tuition fees in full themselves because they gain education for own benefit and not for the society.” because there are some reasons below Firstly, all the professions from doctor to engineer has directly contributed to the society through their service, donation, to the charity or needy people Therefore, the government should provide scholarships, education loan and other benefits Secondly, poor students cannot pay full tuition fees as it is expensive They are the asset to the society, so they have to be given high priority in education Finally, college students are working hard for their dream career and it will earn high salaries Status and respect from the society, paying fees will not be a problem to the students To conclude, university students are the future generation of the society and their contribution to the communal activities are remarkable The government and educational institution should take steps to reduce or sponsor tuition fees for the students Some people say that the positive effects of advertising outweigh its negative effects Discuss both these views and give your opinions People have different views about the effects of advertising on our lives In my opinion, there are both positive and negative impacts of advertising On the other hand, advertising plays an important role in the economy Companies need to tell consumers about their products and services Advertising informs us about the choices we have and the use of the products, so without advertising, we would have fewer choices Moreover, advertising is a creative industry that employs many people, therefore, providing job chances and income for many people On the other hand, it is understandable why some people might think that advertising is a negative part of our lives One problem is that advertisers often aim their marketing at the young age groups Another problem is that many advertisements manipulate people too badly In conclusion, there are convincing arguments both for and against advertising, but I believe there are both positive and negative aspects of advertising Some people believe that video games are bad while others playing these games is beneficial Discuss both views and give your opinion I think that video games are bad, but others guess that playing these games is beneficial On the other hand, video games can be entertaining and educational Users or gamers are transported into virtual worlds which are often more exciting and engaging than real-life pastimes Furthermore, it has been shown that computer simulation games can improve users’ motor skills and help to prepare them for real-world tasks such as flying a plane On the other hand, Gaming can be highly addictive because users are constantly given scores, new targets and frequent rewards to keep them playing Many children now spend hours each day trying to progress through the levels of games or to get a higher score than their friends This type of addiction can have effects ranging from lack of sleep to problems at school In conclusion, I am sure that the potential dangers of video games are more significant than the possible benefits 10 You have been doing a project on transport Your teacher has now asked you to write an essay giving your opinions on the following statement “There is no future for public transport because travelling by car is so much more convenient.” Do you agree or disagree with the statement? Transportation is necessary in our life It is the heart of any cities whether it is public or private Nowadays, many people prefer their own vehicles rather than public transportation However, I disagree with the statement “There is no future for public transport because travelling by car is so convenient.” because public transport is more cheap and friendly for the environment Using public transportation saves much money We not spend a lot of money buying their owned cars This money can be used for many useful things In addition, the fare for buses or taxis is cheaper than private cars Also, they not have to find or pay for a place for parking It is very difficult and expensive if you live in a city Besides, using public transportation is friendly for the environment It can reduce air pollution and limit the amount of vehicles on the road As you know that carbon dioxide is released from vehicles is very harmful for our health If we use public transport, the number of vehicles will decrease and the rate of carbon dioxide will also decrease so much In conclusion, I am sure that public transportation saves both money and the environment With the above reasons, I can say that public transport is the good way for traveling in the future 11 “Some people think that bicycle is the best way to travel from place to place.” Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of traveling by bicycle Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer Write your answer in about 180 – 250 words on a separate answer sheet Through technology advancement, there has been a multifaceted approach to a more diverse and innovative modes of transportation, but, a lot of consequences have come with it as modernized transportations would emit harmful fumes to the environment Thus, making it polluted With this, the world is looking forward to becoming healthier, smarter and faster means of transportation More people are looking forward to be physically fit and to live in a better place with no pollution And one of the ways to have a healthy lifestyle and curb pollution is cycling Although much can be said in favor of cycling, much can be said against it as well First of all, cycling is the most environment-friendly means of transport as it doesn’t pollute the nature by using fuels Secondly, you don’t have to pay money consistently for transport You away with the expense of gas, bus or train ticket or even the cab fare It also saves space when you park it as you can ten bicycles in a parking space required for a car Lastly, the most important advantage of cycling is that your body and constitution will thank you for taking up such a healthy hobby Cycling not just amends your lifestyle for the better, but it is the best exercise that your body will ever get Studies show that even a small amount of cycling can lead to significant gains in fitness On the other hand, cycling may be a really dangerous of transport Nowadays there are many reckless drivers who doesn’t give way to cyclists and causes an accident Secondly, fumes from cars bad for your health Also, you cannot rely on cycling for a long journey like more than ten miles In short, I agree that the use of bicycle is the best way to travel from place to place as the advantages that I have written here have far outweighed the disadvantages of cycling Through this, aside from becoming healthy you can also save money 12 Some people say taxes should be spent on healthcare, others think more priorities should be invested in Discuss both sides and give your opinion Tax is a compulsory contribution to state revenue by workers and businesspeople It is also added to the cost of some goods, services and transactions Hence, people are arguing as to where taxes should be spent on Healthcare is important to the society because people get ill and the hospitals are needed to treat different types of ailments and diseases Through advanced healthcare, people can have longer and more productive lives In connection, fields like education, infrastructure, environment and the likes as important as healthcare is For example, education plays a vital role honing and training children to become active players in the betterment of the society Infrastructure serves as the building blocks for nearly all of the systems that we rely on daily: roads, telephone lines, power lines and gas lines are just few of the major piece of a modern society’s infrastructure It also supports our economy, and the environment as it provides natural services that are essential to our health, quality of life and survival In short, taxes must be equality spent these different fields that make a society well-balanced efficient, stable and a better place to work in 13 Explain some of the ways in which humans are damaging the environment What can governments to address these problems? What can individual people do? Explain your answer using your own reasons and ideas Write your essay in 180 – 250 words on a separate answer sheet Humans are damaging the environment by several ways, but they can reduce their damages and this essay will discuss the environment problems made by humans and also mention the methods governments and individuals can to address these problems Air pollution and deforestation are two main issues First, gas emissions emitted by cars, motorbikes and air conditioners can lead to air pollution As human population increase will result in high demand on these devices, leading to the air pollution becoming seriously, especially in big cities Next, the increase of human population also need more land for houses and food, resulting in most forests cut Governments and individuals can also reduce their damages to the environment Firstly, they can use public transport to go to work or study instead of using their own means Secondly, they should use air conditioners when necessary, not all the time, helping reduce gas emissions emitted In short, both governments and individuals can several actions to protect the environment from damages made by humans 14 Some people think zoos are cruel and all the zoos should be closed However, some people think zoos are useful to protect the rare animals Discuss both these views and give your opinion? Write your essay in 180 – 250 words on a separate answer sheet Some people think that zoos are cruel and should be closed However, others think that zoos are useful to protect rare animals This essay will discuss both sides and provide my personal opinion There are some reasons for closing zoos First, some people believe that putting animals in zoos is unethical because the animals can live in the wild environment Putting animals in the zoos also reduces their instinct for hunting and relies on humans for daily food Next, sometimes humans cannot provide enough food and medicine for the animals, leading to some animals being died However, some people think that zoos are useful Firstly, zoos can help protect rare animals from extinction If these animals live in the wild environment, they are easily hunted Secondly, keeping animals in zoos can also educate people, especially kids, on how to take care the animals carefully Finally, zoos are also good places for children to see real animals, not just pictures in books In conclusion, there are two sides to everything However, the benefits of keeping zoos are outweigh those of closing it and I also support the idea of keeping zoos because of its benefits 15 It is more important for schoolchildren to learn about local history than world history To what extent you agree or disagree? People have different views about whether the national history or international history is more necessary for children to study at schools In my opinion, both types of history above are equally important, so I believe that it would be better for students to have a chance to acquire a deep knowledge of local history as well as world history On the other hand, the importance of studying local history at schools is certainly undeniable It is true that local history can help bring a community together, because no matter how different you are, you have shared history When student learn about their own country’s history, they will feel somewhat proud of their country and like they ‘belong’ in their country For example, by studying how people in the past gave up their lives, Vietnamese juveniles will respect and be grateful more to the value of the way of life and liberty that they enjoy today Moreover, through knowing about the local history, young generations will know about wonderful core values and precious lessons which have been passed by their ancestors and will be motivated to carry on the best customs for generations to come Japanese, for instance, have always been known as one of the most fortitude races in this world This is due to the fact that they have learned from their war failures in the past On the other hand, studying world history is also very crucial for every children Firstly, the trend of the world today is globalisation and international integration, by interacting with other people from other cultures, a country can have opportunities to receive many marvelous achievements of countless fields from the world However, this tendency obviously requires all people and especially children to have some knowledge of world history to form a mutual understanding in order to blend fully into this world community Secondly, all the countries in the world have to come through some certain stages of developing and revolution, and there were also some drawbacks of developing like slavery and ethnic conflicts Therefore, it is vital for the young generations who will become the leader of their country in the future to know about the lessons to be able to avoid those which are not good for their nation In conclusion, for the reasons I have mentioned, I believe that schools should teach students both local and world history 16 Some people think that robots are very important to human’s future development Others think that they are dangerous and have negative effects on society Discuss both opinions and give your personal view Humans have promoted heated debate about the widespread use of artificial intelligence in various areas While some argue that robots pose a threat to society as a whole, I believe that robots are playing an increasingly important role in human's development There are various reasons why people believe that robots can be harmful or even dangerous to society The main worry about robots is that they may compete for job openings with human employees, especially in labor-intensive industries, thus leading to job loss or layoff among workers on society This concern is understandable since these automatic machines normally mean higher productivity and lower cost compared to human beings Another fear raised about robots is that they may someday be able to self-replicate themselves and form massive armies, which will threaten the survival of humankind In spite of these arguments, I believe that robots can contribute much to human's development Firstly, robots can be used to perform tasks which are risky or heavy for humans, such as planetary exploration and coal mining After all, machinery is expendable while human life is precious Besides, companies have developed robots which can tedious household chores, ranging from vacuum cleaning to floor mopping Thanks to these modern gadgets, housewives (or househusbands) can be exempt from time-consuming housework, and thus spend more quality time with their spouses But it's in the area of medicine that robots may have their biggest impact Medical robots are widely used to perform surgery, and nano-robots are expected to help slow the aging process one day If this comes true, the life expectancy of the future generation will be considerably lengthened In conclusion, although there are some concerns about robots that should be taken into account, I personally believe that robots bring more benefits than drawbacks to human's future development 17 The 21st century has begun What changes you think this new century will bring? Use examples and details in your answer We are living in a fast developing society with incredible changes that improve the quality of life Almost everyday there's something new and different is brought to our life The 21st century, a promising and expected most century,has begun I hope it would bring some changes to the world of technology,healthcare and medical science, and culture First of all, the 21st century is expected to be the century of very quickly progressing technology Computer controlled robots and machines will gradually replace manual labor or the use of human effort This will help people save time and power that should be spent more generating ideas and scientific research to find new solutions for vital problems the world is facing such as diseases, polution, growth population Also, I expect the new century will bring more changes to computer technology.The computers upgraded will be faster and more advanced to meet more demands of people We will have mini computers with high-speed internet conection that gives us quick access to it any time and any where Second of all, the next change I expect from the new century would be the improvements in healthcare as well as medical science There's some threatening diseases such as cancers and AIDS as we know are still a question that has no answer I hope in near future of the 21st century there will be medicines and methods of treatment found such diseases People will not suffer from these and illnesses any more As a result, people will be more healthy and their life span will be increased In addition, I expect more and more artifictial parts of human body will be found and improved to replace ones of some patients Finally, the last thing I hope the 21st century will bring to our society is the changes in culture There will be more new tendencies, new spirits applied in arts, architectures,music and fashion For instance in music, more and more kinds of music as well as instruments will be invented to adapt to hobbies or ages of people Adding to these, lifestyles of people in countries will change That the advances in almost fields in the 21st century make our life more mordern and easier raise some desires One of these is that some people want to study abroad or go for a tour to learn more about cultures of others coutries Those on the one hand receive a new cuture but on the other hand bring their country's culture to the coutry they are in In conclusion, I believe the 21st century will bring a lot of changes in almost fields Hope these will be possitive aspects that give improvements in quality of life 18 “Some people think that more money should be spent on education, while others think that they should be spent on building hospitals” Discuss both views and give your opinions Write your answer in about 180-250 words on a separate answer sheet “ Health is wealthy” is a most famous proverb, but you have a good health without good education, you will not have a great job in the future because education is the key to success in life Therefore, I believe that it would be better for spending money on both health and schools On the other hand, health is very important Without health a country has many problems Students cannot study, and workers can’t work This make the economy become very bad So the government must spend money on health budget to save ill people Besides, the government needs to build more hospitals as it is a big problem with not enough hospitals which mean can’t treat all sick people With this reason, we find that health is too necessary and need much money On the other hand, the government should provide good education system because doctor and nurse ’s job plays an important role for health, so universities need special courses for doctors and nurses who can help many people not be sick Moreover, if the society has more social knowledge, the crime rate will be reduced This is due to the fact that education creates a positive mentality among the people For instance, as per the BBC report telecasted on January 2015, Nigeria has a crime rate which is 20 times more than the USA Therefore, it is the responsibility of the governments to ensure that the citizens are educated by providing adequate infrastructure In conclusion, for the reasons I have mentioned, I think that money should be spent on building hospitals as well as education ... and ideas Write your essay in 180 – 250 words on a separate answer sheet Humans are damaging the environment by several ways, but they can reduce their damages and this essay will discuss the... your essay in 180 – 250 words on a separate answer sheet Some people think that zoos are cruel and should be closed However, others think that zoos are useful to protect rare animals This essay. .. benefits 10 You have been doing a project on transport Your teacher has now asked you to write an essay giving your opinions on the following statement “There is no future for public transport because
