words) Exercise 205 With around 230 words, write a letter to tell your friend about your family life SAMPLE WRITING Dear Jim, I am writing to talk about my family rules It is an interesting topic, isn’t it? It may be obvious that every family has its own rules Mine has a few, apart from the traditional ones, especially for this school year as I am in the final year Trang 465 First, I am not allowed to watch much TV, except when there is a good or very interesting film or an academic game show, or when I have finished all my homework and exercises And hardly my parents let me stay up so late at night Next, my parents rarely permit me to go out with friends without necessary reasons for example birthdays or funerals Besides, I have to take the balanced diets to keep fit for my coming examinations And one more thing I have to keep up is talking on the phone That is why I have to set a limit to my using of the phone Furthermore, I don’t have to much housework though we share that all together Do you think I have a lot of rules to abide? Or I have no rights or freedom to what I want or like? Tell me about your family rules, will you? It is much fun to hear about then Write to me as soon as you can I look forward to hearing from you Best wishes, (233 words) Exercise 206 With around 250 words, write a letter to a friend to tell her/ him about the one who influenced you most SAMPLE WRITING Dear Linda, I am sorry for not writing to you for so long as I have been busy with preparing for the coming GCSE I am writing today to tell you about the one who has great influence on me For me, I must say that my life would not have been as good as it is today if I did not meet Mr Jimmy It happened to me when I was a lower secondary student I always got bad marks for school subjects as well as I got fined daily My teachers got very disappointed, my parents felt ashamed as I was very often mentioned as a bad example at school My classmates found ways to keep away from me I felt so lonely and hopeless Then Mr Jimmy, my new teacher appeared After having had a talk with me and my parents, he agreed to be my private tutor It was so strange that he did not teach but made ways to be my friend first He spared time to get to know my difficulties, helped me to gain me confidence, let me believe in what I could Gradually, I realized what to do, how to He encouraged me when I felt tired, lonely or daunted He gave me belief and strength to stand right on my own feet Finally, I got to know the meaning of life To tell the truth, I feel so happy to have a great teacher like Mr Jimmy I hope that you will let me know about your idols in life I am looking forward to hearing from you soon Yours, (270 words) Trang 466 Exercise 207 The widespread use of the Internet has brought many problems What you think the main problems associated with the use of the web? What solutions can you suggest? SAMPLE WRITING Great changes have taken place in our modern life along with development of technology And I think that the Internet plays a big role in this First, with the surfing internet or playing computer and video games, people have a more sedentary lifestyle Children no longer play games outside and get exercise but they spend time on the computer This has bad effect on their health and cause problems such as obesity Another problem is the negative effect on their relationship with their family Internet access fills most young people's time, and even their leisure time, so this separate them from their family and produces bad effect on their social behavior A third problem is that not all internet sites are useful Some sites bears inaccurate information, violence, and dangerous things To solve the problems, the first solution must be with the parents They need to limit hours that children spend on the computer and to encourage them to have other hobbies and pastimes It is also important for children to spend more time to speak with their family than facing electronic devices Parents should encourage children to use other means of communication, too To conclude, I would say that the internet has brought many benefits and it will not disappear, therefore it is very important that we learn to use it well so that we can reap the benefits and not the disadvantages (235 words) Exercise 208 Young people are much more aware of and concerned about the issues like the environment, poverty, and animal welfare than previous generations What is your own opinion? SAMPLE WRITING Many people think that the world existing problems are only matter the young generation as they are the candidates who are facing them now and in the future Although a considerable percentage of the public might refer to these hazards as hazards for the young predominantly, yet many of these concerns are actually brought into the scene by the old people The previous generation are those who lived the new developments in science and technology that brought with them pollution, poverty and part of it also possible distinction of many species of plants and animals Trang 467 So they raise the alarms for those radical and serious consequences It is often suggested that old generation are passing by and not interested in what happening and only the young who gives those alerts considerable thoughts However from what we are experiencing now, that many of green people are old and work actively to preserve animal rights and fight fiercely against global warming and environmental pollution This give us that the present world concerns are a shared interest of both old and new generations Although many activist on these issues appears in the media and they are from the youth, still and probably equal number from the old follow the same routes Actually, no one in this life wants to destroy our planet Definitely every parent is of concern about his offspring lives thereafter, and selfishness does not dominate our thinking at all What one should be aware of is that such threats are not always discussed or contemplated in the right way by old or young generation (264 words) Exercise 209 It is important for travelers and business people to understand the cultures they come into contact with, however briefly What are the main advantages of doing so? What you think is the main disadvantage of doing so? SAMPLE WRITING There is no doubt that the number of visitors and businessmen and women who are travelling abroad has been increasing markedly in recent years However, not surprisingly, understanding the culture of local people brings many benefits to all types of visitors as well as problems for those who not understand a new culture First of all, no sensible person can deny the importance of breaking down barriers between countries By this I mean, people from different lands can socialize effectively and relate emotionally regardless of their race and religion, if they take time to learn languages and to find out about where they are going before they travel As a result, the tension between people from different backgrounds would be melted Another important advantage that needs to be taken into account is that travelers can broaden their horizons by travelling In other words, people who travel for business or tourism definitely would gain a lot of information from their host society Knowing how to behave can help businessmen make lots of money for themselves and for their companies Undoubtedly business and tourism play a pivotal role in employing of people and reviving the local economy in their own countries and when they travel On the other hand lack of understanding of the culture and traditions of people may lead to misunderstanding and even increased tension between different communities, simply because the background of any society can act as a mirror to reflect the nature Trang 468 personality and behavior of people Certainly, when we know these vital things we can overcome many difficulties (262 words) Exercise 210 More and more city workers are deciding to live in the country and travel into work every day The result is increased traffic congestion and damage to the environment What measures you think could be taken to encourage people not to travel much long distance into work? SAMPLE WRITING Many people are moving out of big cities into the countryside to live to escape from city problems This causes problems because most the jobs that are available are in the cities so people have to travel back into the cities again to work The transport system cannot cope so people are using their own cars and the countryside is affected by the traffic jams One solution to encourage people to stay in cities is to improve the quality of life there More money could be spent reducing crime, as this is one of the main reasons why people leave cities For example, more policemen can be employed for city center Moreover, safe places to work and live in should be made in the city center The environment can be made cleaners and more agreeable As a result, people might be encouraged to stay rather than moving out A very different way to tackle the problem would be to move some of the jobs out of city to smaller cities or towns People could then still live in the countryside and have to travel short distances to work Another step is to encourage workers to spend part of their working week at home, perhaps two days and then to go into work in the other days This is happening more and more in many parts of the world There are other ways to overcome the situation but these are the most important (242 words) Exercise 211 Write an essay to discuss the benefits of doing exercise SAMPLE WRITING Health is considered to be the most valuable thing one possesses Improving health is always a prior task in one’s daily routine And the simplest, cheapest, but the most effective way to better one’s health is doing regular exercise One advantage of doing exercise is to reduce stress People who exercise are likely to feel more relaxed, healthier, and of course happier Doing regular exercise helps the body produce happy chemicals that make the exercisers reduce the worries about life and work as well as forget the boredom and unhappiness Trang 469 Another benefit exercising brings us is that we will feel more energetic to face and overcome our daily difficulties Doing exercise helps us reduce the possibilities of being ill, protects us from some fatal diseases as heart disease, cancers and diabetes Regular exercisers are believed to have healthier, happier and longer lives The other good thing is that doing exercise helps us feel more self-confident We know exactly what we can or what abilities, talents we have We will think positively, confidently, and lead an optimistic life if we practice exercising regularly Controlling our weight effectively is another value Perspiration occurs when we exercise, which helps our bodies get rid of bad things inside Fats are burnt during our practicing exercise, which helps us to keep fit To sum up, doing exercise enables people to have good body-buildings, keep fit and brings exercisers many benefits Sparing time doing exercise will ensure us a longer, healthier and happier life (260 words) Exercise 212 Write an essay to talk about the situations and to offer the solutions to protect the wildlife from being all disappearing SAMPLE WRITING We now all know clearly that our environment is worsening day by day Thousands of species have been vanishing, many other thousands are being threatened to be extinct To solve the problems, or even to slower the process of extinction, there are a number of measures that should be taken to protect endangered animals The first problem is that people not know much about the need to rare and endangered animals Therefore, people should be taught about the importance of the wildlife and rare animals in the ecosystem Another bad thing is that the habitats for wild animals are being seriously damaged or polluted To better homes for the wildlife we should protect their habitats from being degraded and then help build up good habitats for all species to live in Sometimes, people who live in or near the endangered species’ habitats have poor living conditions and rely mostly on wildlife products for their livelihood Urgently, governments should raise these people’s living standards by providing them with jobs, and help them to live well with the nature The other reasons are that some countries not have laws to protect the vulnerable animals, people keep buying fashionable wildlife products, and there are not enough wildlife habitat reserves To deal with these challenges, governments all over the world had better soon pass and enforce laws to protect the nature, to make the purchasing products related to wild species and to build up reserves for endangered ones to survive and develop Trang 470 Protecting the environment today is offering us and the next generations more prosperous future To save the endangered species means to save the earth and to save ourselves (278 words) Exercise 213 Write an essay to talk about the reason why people want to have college or university education SAMPLE WRITING People study in college or university for many different reasons I think the most important reason is to gain more knowledge and learn more skills Of course, there are also many other reasons that people study in college such as to get more friends, and increase one's selfconfidence These days, most jobs require people who are educated and have good job skills Therefore, the people who want a good job have to study hard and at least graduate with a high education Furthermore, as technology advances all over the world, more and more education is required of people Some people who study in college or university want to make more friends and increase their interpersonal skills They enjoy their lives in university or college and tend to socialize a lot They can meet more people who have the similar interests with themselves They can go to somewhere after school and make more friends who they trust The people who graduate from college seem more confident in our community These people are more respected by society Many people want to be respected and to be important by family, friends, their bosses, and others in their lives They find that most of them can confidently talk and their jobs as they are more educated Therefore, most people want to get the confidence through the university or college study In today's society, people need more knowledge and skills to be adapted The university and college study is a good way to achieve this (251 words) Exercise 214 Write an essay to talk about the topic “Parents are our first teachers in life” SAMPLE WRITING Have you ever wondered the questions of “Who teaches you to walk?” “Who teaches you to speak?” It is your parents who teach you to these basic things in your life So don't you think that parents are the best teachers! Firstly, parents know us very much Parents give us life, and I think that we will spend large amount of time with them So they know our merit and demerit in details Meanwhile, they will help us to get rid of our demerit Furthermore, parents possessed many experiences Since they are older than us, they have experienced many things Sometimes, they are just like our models And as the saying Trang 471 goes: "Example is better than precept." So we will unconsciously copy some of our parents' habits and styles of behavior, i.e we can learn many things from them Finally, parents will teach us everything Since schoolteachers can just teach us knowledge from the books, our parents can teach us everything For example, I learn knitting, cooking and make- up from my mother, while learn fixing leaky faucet from my father They are the persons who love me most, so they will teach me everything without reservations Just as the saying goes: "There is no place like home." And I think there is no teacher like our parents They are the best teachers in our life (227 words) Exercise 215 Individuals can nothing to change society Any new developments can only be brought about by governments and large institutions How far you agree or disagree? SAMPLE WRITING It is no doubt that governments and large institutions carry out many different movements to change the society However, for me, they cannot anything without the contributions of each individual citizen To begin, members of governments and large institutions are citizens Governments make policies, other legal measures to manage the society, but their work can only come into practice with the supports and obedience of all people Take the policy of value added tax in Vietnam for example, the whole society thought it was necessary that customers should contribute to the national budget and approve of the law, so the new tax policy became practical By contrast, the fee on motor riders on using the road is not a reasonable rule to all citizens, so our law-makers have to reconsider This is because of the feedbacks from provincial governments and individual motor users For me, state and organizations have legal rights to introduce new ideas or pass new laws, but those can only benefit the whole society when they are accepted by the communities Moreover, governmental issues can encourage individuals to contribute more to the country and each person will also be greatly beneficial of what he has devoted In conclusion, citizens, organizations, and governments need to cooperate to make their own country a better place to live in (221 words) -THE END - ...CHUYÊN ĐỀ VỀ NGỮ ÂM Chuyên đề cung cấp kí hiệu phiên âm quốc tế nguyên âm (đơn, đôi, ba), phụ âm (vô thanh, hữu thanh), số chùm phụ âm, đặc biệt tuyển tập tập thực hành hữu ích Trong chuyên đề. .. vụ cho công tác giảng dạy ôn tập thi cấp, hình thức phiên âm việc xác định vị trí trọng âm mang tính tham khảo, sở để giải tập thực hành kèm theo, nhiên, tập thực hành kèm theo chuyên đề bao gồm... hành hữu ích Trong chuyên đề này, kí hiệu phiên âm quốc tế sử dụng theo mẫu kí hiệu phiên âm quốc tế theo sách giáo khoa Tiếng Anh Nhà Xuất Bản Giáo Dục năm 2006 Phần phiên âm từ vị trí trọng âm
