Bài tham khảo 1: At now, there are two streams of opinion on government spending, some people think that the government should spend more money on creating human-like robots to ease the lives of the elderly Others strongly believe that the money should be spent on the elderly, not on robots My opinion is that I agree with the idea that the money should be spent on the elderly and not on robots for the following reasons: Firstly, the elderly are people who are 60 years old or older and most of them don't need to work and work to generate money for their families anymore They have devoted their youth to raising their children and create value for society, so it is wrong if they not enjoy and have legitimate rights That's why we have to spend a lot of money to create human-like robots to help the elderly while they hardly need to work hard I think what they need is to enjoy old age rather than keep working by controlling robots Secondly, creating human-like robots not only requires a lot of money and time, but also pollutes the environment and consumes energy And if they are created to help the elderly, it is really unnecessary because The elderly need most is not a robot with human-like abilities, but people who care about them Especially their children and loved ones It would be ridiculous if the government created robots to help the elderly and their children don't need to help and care for them anymore because they already have a robot Robot topic writings nâng cao Page is just a machine, it's not a human, it has no feelings and doesn't know how to love and even If it works tirelessly or can a lot of heavy work, it's not something that the elderly need Thirdly, the elderly are often susceptible to many diseases such as stroke, high blood pressure, heart failure easy to fracture bones and a weaker immune system than young people So investing in the system Health care system for the elderly is a very necessary thing In addition, although not all old people have good economic conditions to live, the government needs to provide financial support for the poor and elderly people who cannot afford it working so they can have a better life or at least be able to eat full and stay healthy I believe that's what every old person needs, not a robot that can heavy work but can't eat as well medical examination is not possible Finally, old people often have poor memory and brains are no longer as flexible as younger people So if creating robots to help them heavy work, it will be very difficult for them to control robots and use them into daily work For these reasons, my position is in favor of the government spending money on the elderly, not on robots At least spend most of the money for the elderly and the rest to create a small number of robots for the elderly who still want to work and have a good memory to flexibly use the robot Bài tham khảo 2: With the governments’ investing in AI technology, there has been undeniable benefits, but to my mind, it is better to spend on the elders First of all, the elders are to spend time with people, especially youngsters, not robots Most of the elders have preference to to spend time with their offsprings or young people to share stories with them, so it is a fantastic thought to educate people on how to take care of elder people In addition, the youths will have the opportunity to study the life in the past, and some essential skills, and above all to fulfill the elders’ expectations Second of all, accidents and physical safety must be taken into consideration It is possible for AI’s imperfections to cause physical harm For instance, if an AI robot is used for long hours non-stop, due to its overload, it can lead to severe problems like an explosion or the deaths of elders topic writings nâng cao Page 10 Last of all, AI techonology requires a great deal of money, which is at times overspending Instead of pouring large sums of money in developing AI application, the governments should stop that action and use the money for other purposes, like I have said, increase the grants given to the elderly To sum up, AI techonology is indeed helpful, to some extent, but from my perspective, the money supplied by the governments should be mosty spent on the elderly Bài tham khảo 3: In my opinion, I strongly believe that money should be spent on the elderly, not on robots First and foremost, robots aren’t strange with everyone especially in modern life Basically having so many so different types of them such as: robots for serving food, for cleaning houses and robots recently is for forming COVID 19 pandemic No doubt that they bring lot of advantages but they also have some limitations You see, they not have the feelings and thoughts like humans That’s why we can’t make sure robots can take care of carefully the old, the youngest and maybe they not have ability to fight against wrongdoing like the normal Second, the investment in robots takes so much time, assets which the old give previously And the effective that gain from robots isn’t good like the policy supports the old Actually, the old’s living standards will be improved.The third one is the support from government by cash, and the old can use this one to hire assistant to chat, to take care of them It is the main role of human beings to communicate with others and robots don’t have ones.No one wants to face robots with no feelings, and no compassion inside them Definitely, we can have a long life span by the happiness of community Finally, robots waste a lots money, don’t they?In the world, having so many the old, maybe everyone can afford for robots, can’t they? Especially with the old are in poor, that is why we need to make sure about the equality for all of themIn face, the old who have difficulty is often paid attention more The cash that is given to them correctly will help to pass hard period.Instead of buying robots for them, we can build nursing homes, rent assistants, which can solve these issues like unemployment at this time and upgrade the quality of equipment also topic writings nâng cao Page 11 Đề 5: Present a written argument or a case to an educated reader with no specialised knowledge of the following topic: Some people think that cities are the best places to live Others prefer to live in a rural area Compare the advantages and disadvantages of living in the city to living in the countryside Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your experience You should write at least 250 words Bài tham khảo 1: In today's world, the places that people live affect greatly in their lifestyles and living place is a basic demand of humman Some people are prefer and argue that city is the best place to live due to the fact that it owns lots of advantages, but others think that villages are the best place to live a good life This essay will compare the good points and drawback between living in the urban area and rural area It is true that cities offer so many oppotunities which are absent in a countryside Cities generally have better infrastructure, education system and advance health care facilities You get to meet people from all walk of life, learn to coexist with people from different ethnicity, race and culture; hence you become more tolerant, open minded and start respecting other differences For instance, the modern transportation systems are better in any city compared to village In a city, people have access to many different transportation systems and have lattest technologies to communicate suchas smartphone, Moreover, when a technology arrives at the country , it is first introduced in the city There is a fact that cities provide better security to its inhabitants like the community police, security guards, The reason why people like to move to the big city to live at is because of job opportunities Most of the offices, industry zones, factories, are located in the city or close to the city.Turning to other side of the picuture, traffic could be one of the major disadvantages of living in a big city Many people take motorbikes everyday and it has also been proved that the majority of families have at least two motorbikes This means that you have to deal with rush-hour traffic on your way to work and on your way back In addition, big cities can not be discussed without mentioning about pollution Smog, high carbon emission rate, polluted drinking water and high decibels of noise are some of the reasons for air, water and noise pollution in the city On the other hand, unlike life in the city, life in the countryside is slower People don't have to hurry and have lot of times They don't have to work so many hours as they topic writings nâng cao Page 12 in the city For human's morale and habitat, having a house in the countryside is very suitable place to organize family gathering and vacation Also, living in the countryside gives you a chance to own a green habitat with trees , lakes, ponds and garden Unlike the urban , the asmosphere in the countryside has more oxygen, which let us breath easier, reduce stress As you realize, the infrastructure in the city is more focus than that in the countryside, road are narrow, sometimes muddy after rain which is vey difficult to transfer and exchange goods Last but not least, medical in the country side is not being concentrated nlike the city When you suffer from disease, you will need go far away to the city so that they can heal it To sum up, both city and countryside has it owns possitive and negative sides Choosing place to live depend on human's need and their hobby In my case, I prefer living in the city rather than living in the countryside I feel relax and comfortable staying there Morover, I like to lead a busy and challenging life and want to be connected with the world Bài tham khảo 2: Some people think that cities are the best places to live Others prefer to live in a rural area Compare the advantages and disadvantages of living in the city to living in the countryside It is argued that urban areas are the greatest places to settle while others prefer to live in the countryside This essay will discuss about the pros and cons of living in the city compared to living in the countryside On the one hand, cities are the top of choices to live due to various its benefits Most well-known universities and high quality educational institutions concentrated on the metropolitan areas are obviously the main thing that attracts more citizens, especially youngsters, move away from their rural life Besides, compared to rural areas, urban areas have all amenities such as healthcare, recreational parks and museums along with convenient traffic networks which are expected to make dwellers’ life more interesting and more comfortable Moreover, cities have a wider of range of job opportunities which is definitely the push factors to drive people away from the outskirts of the city On the other hand, living in the city is not absolutely ideal like many people think for some disadvantages Firstly, high dense-populated cities face overcrowding, followed by traffic congestion day by day and insufficient open spaces for green trees and houses in comparison with the countryside Secondly, a hundred tons of wastes discharged from factories, households and offices together with a great deal of fume exposed from vehicles lead to water and air pollution Whereas on contrast, countryside is more peaceful and also have more fresh topic writings nâng cao Page 13 air Thirdly, the hustle and bustle of the city make people far away from each other’s, which is not similar to the friendliness in countryside In conclusion, living in the city has plenty of advantages and disadvantages However, depending on individual life purpose and background, people would choose themselves a suitable place for living Bài tham khảo 3: The places where people live affects greatly in their lifestyles and the living place is one of the very basic needs for people People opine differently while choosing the living places Some prefer and argue that city is the best place to live at since it provides so many advantages over the rural area, but other think that villages are the best places to live a good life Both places have advantages and disadvantages It is true that a city offers so many opportunities and advantages those are absent in a countryside For instance, the modern transportation and communication systems are better in any city compared to a village In a city people have access to many different transportation systems and have latest technologies to communicate; like cellular phones, internet, fax etc Moreover, when a new technology arrives at the country it is first introduced in the city area and usually 2/3 years later to the village Secondly, cities provide better security to its inhabitants like the mobile police patrols, special forces, community police, security guards, traffic police etc But in the village, the number of security force persons are too low compared to the overall population Moreover, cities provide better treatment, hospitals, qualified doctors, better educational institutes, and amusement parks etc which are really inevitable to lead a better life In many cases, those facilities are absent or rare in a village In my opinion, the reason for why most people tend to live in a city is the vast opportunities of jobs Most of the corporate offices, industries, factories, government offices, garments and manufacturing industries are either situated in a city or close to the city People have much more employment opportunities in a city than a village On the contrary, people living in a village, are often forced to a job that is not suitable at all for him since the job opportunity is so narrow there Again, schools or colleges are not equipped with a better environment, labs, teachers and that's why students in a village might not get a better education he/she deserves If we consider the entertainment facilities in a city then citizens of a city have so many options like theatre, park, art gallery, topic writings nâng cao Page 14 museum, amusement parks, libraries etc But people in the villages have only TV or books and very little facilities to spend leisure time On the other hand, Villages offer many invaluable advantages those are completely absent in the cities First of all, someone living in a village can get fresh air and water There is no intense pollution with smoke, CarbonDI-oxide, Carbon-mono-oxide, Nitrous-Oxide and people living in a village are less prone to suffer diseases like asthma, bronchitis etc The city can provide security against visible foes but it causes people to face some invisible and dangerous enemies like toxic and polluted air, water and environment Secondly, people of villages live much nearer to the nature and breathe in the fresh air, as well as eat fresh foods, vegetables, fruits collected directly from the garden On the contrary vegetables, foods, fruits in the cities are normally stored and mixed with preservatives and can cause serious harms to the health The living cost in a countryside is much lesser than that of a city The density of population in a village is much less than a city and village people are naturally grow up their personal relationship among all people and live like a real community and take care of each other While in the city people not know even who live in the next door and personal relationship in a community is rare In my opinion, I prefer living in countryside because I Love the fresh air and the paddy fields Đề 6: Write about the following topic: Some children can learn more efficiently by watching TV Therefore, children should watch TV regularly both in school and at home Do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience Write at least 250 words Bài tham khảo 1: Some parents believe that watching TV is bad for their children So, they try to limit their children's TV viewing However, other parents think there is nothing bad about watching TV shows I personally think that watching TV is of great benefit to children unless they spend a lot of their precious time in front of TV every day We recommend that children spend less than a few hours a day watching TV programs and those programs are right for them topic writings nâng cao Page 15 For the following reasons that I will cover below, I believe television plays an essential role in a child's development First of all, television helps a child expand the range of his interests Children can find new things and make many interesting discoveries for themselves In addition to this practical benefit, television also improves children's vocabulary and memory and helps children gain more knowledge I think it's essential for a child's development Of course, one might say that there are many different sources of information such as books and teachers But, I think, in our modern world, children must learn faster and use all modern technology to be successful Second, watch awareness programs that help children understand more about the wildlife, our environment, and the importance of conserving forests and the wildlife that live there Scientists say that a child should not watch TV for more than 40 minutes continuously and no more than 2-3 hours per day For example, my mom always made us rest after watching TV for more than half an hour and let our eyes rest for a few minutes before turning the TV back on She also doesn't let us watch TV all day I think that's the best solution In short, I believe that television gives children and all people an opportunity to learn things that cannot be learned from books In particular, television and movies allow people to feel real and see what they most likely won't be able to see in their lives Personally, when I was a kid, I loved watching wildlife awareness programs Unfortunately, my family only has one TV, but these programs are the only programs we all want to see So we gathered in the living room and watched them in complete silence and I always remember those moments with a smile on my face Bài tham khảo 2: However, I disagree that children should be motivated to watch TV both at home and at school I shall put forth my arguments to support my views in the following paragraphs There is no doubt that TV can be a powerful mean of delivering information and a nice part of learning process Being an audiovisual medium more effective result can be achieved What is seen is retained longer in the minds of children There are some things which can be very easily taught by visual illustrations Even boring subjects like history can be made interesting with the help of TV topic writings nâng cao Page 16 However, if TV is to be used as an educational tool then very strict monitoring would be needed as to what children watch on TV All those talk shows and soap operas we can see every day are a complete waste of time and can even have negative effects by distracting children from their studies Moreover, the most of so called educational programmes like National Geographic cannot replace books and academic lectures because they tend to entertain people and have not an aim to give deep and concentrated knowledge It is highly unlikely that TV channel directors would abandon their profits and change talk shows to lectures and video lessons Furthermore, if children watch TV in school also then their interaction with the teacher would be limited Teachers teach a lot of things apart from academics They can come down to the level of the student and can also stimulate children to learn What is more, children would read less when they learn everything from TV Reading is an active activity as compared to TV which is a passive activity So, it would be detrimental to the holistic development of children Bài tham khảo 3: No!
