ESSAY 1: Education is very important for all people and for countries Everyone goes to school for several reasons In my opinion, we should attend schools to gain knowledge in various subjects and get into depth in specific field Of course, there are also many other reasons that people study in college such as to get more friends, and increase one's self-confidence Also, education is beneficial for obtaining a good job 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 uni ball 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 ESSAY 2: There are also many other reasons that people study in college such as to get more friends, and increase one's self-confidence I think the most important reason is to gain more knowledge and learn more skills Firstly, they prefer education in reputed universities in order to achieve their goals and dreams in life People try to their higher education for their career enhancement such as for promotions in the company they work Usually, persons with the high level of knowledge in any field will be paid ƠN THI CAO HỌC ĐỢT KHĨA – 2020 – MÔN ANH VĂN – CHỦ ĐỀ - WRITING more than the other people with limited skills This is also a major reason for a person to prefer higher education For instance, in the case of an Information Technology professional a person with higher level of knowledge and skill in designing a software will be paid more than a person who tests the developed product In addition to that people pursue their education in universities in various other countries for the sake of exposing to the new environment, culture, customs and learn how to mingle with people This scenario is generally seen in students trying to their business degree Students come know about the new trends across the world and learn how to deal with various kinds of businesses and improve the economy of their country Moreover, learning the ways of interacting with the people is a good sign of a healthy society On the other hand, people not only attend the universities for gaining knowledge and improving their job position but also out of their immense interest in a particular field and curiosity to invent new things in that specific field In my point of view, I think people attend universities and colleges for the purpose of gaining more knowledge, experiencing various cultures and customs, improving their job position and their intense desire and passion towards a particular field Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The invention of the Internet has had negative effects on your civilization ESSAY 1: The most important advancement in the field of technology was internet Now a days, internet can be called abyss because of its vast nature Many people believe that, internet has had negative effects on the civilization But, in my opinion it has been the most helpful thing that was ever developed Anything that you need is available on the internet Hence, I believe, internet has uncountable benefits and has had very less negative effects To begin with, as the world is growing and the technology is advancing at a very fast rate, it is important to be up to date with the technology Various certified courses are available online which can help you learn any technology sitting at home For instance, during my summer break I had joined an Android development course online In this course I learnt how to develop android applications Learning of this technology helped me a lot in getting internships during my graduate school Furthermore, electronic transactions or e-money allows one to pay their bills online over the internet For example, my father always pays the electricity bills online and the funds gets transferred directly to the merchant account This process is safe and secure and all the most very convenient ƠN THI CAO HỌC ĐỢT KHĨA – 2020 – MÔN ANH VĂN – CHỦ ĐỀ - WRITING Another important benefit is that, internet allows you to book airline tickets online Now, a person does not have to go to the airport anymore for booking tickets The ticket can be booked online and the person gets the confirmation on his/her email In conclusion, it is true that internet has had some negative effects like hacking, piracy or illegal pornography But, the advantages of the same are so many, that they overshadow all the downsides and thus has an overall positive effect on the civilization And therefore, no matter what the society believes, I personally will always be in favour of using the internet because it has done more good than harm ESSAY 2: In today’s world, the Internet has become extremely popular Some people believe, it is beneficial for several reasons while many argue that the disadvantages associated with it cannot be overlooked I completely agree with the latter part On one hand, some people believe that the Internet has been advantageous for many reasons First of all, it helps communicate with people all over the world The use of emails, social networking sites and video chatting has enables people to easily and quickly talk to their loved ones even from a far distance Another benefit to be considered is that it is cheaper than sending mails via post Furthermore, internet makes it convenient to pay the bills online and saves time as well, so people not have to go personally to pay the bills On the other hand, some people argue that the Internet has many disadvantages For instance, the younger generation spends a lot of time in front of computer or on their phones which is harmful for their health as it affects their eyesight and also makes them physically inactive In addition, inappropriate contents on the Internet like violence and obscenity negatively impacts on young people Furthermore, the increasing number of cyber-crimes is taking place these days More and more financial crimes are committed via the internet Another problem the Internet creates is that overuse of it tends to make people isolated as they become unsociable and self-centred In my opinion, the disadvantages of the Internet outweigh the advantages, hence, making it harmful to the growth of the youth Therefore, its consumption should be reduced and people should be protected from the negative effects of internet Many people visit museums when they travel to new places Why you think people visit museums? ESSAY 1: ÔN THI CAO HỌC ĐỢT KHĨA – 2020 – MƠN ANH VĂN – CHỦ ĐỀ - WRITING Many people visit museums when they travel to new places By visiting museums, one can learn as much as possible about those places where one visit in a shout time First of all, one can learn about the history of the places in museums Today, almost every town in the world has realized the importance to set up their own museums to exhibit historic items which belong to their past When we visit a new place, we can get almost everything we need about its history in the museums Last summer vacation, I and several classmates traveled to the city of Taian At the foot of Mount Tai located a museum about General Feng Yuxiang After visiting it, we knew a lot about Mr Feng and what he did to the local people He was respected by there people, and so did us Second, visiting museums gives information about local culture After a long exhausting journey, what a good thing to sit in the museum theatre watching a performance about local culture When we travel to a new place, especially for a limited time when you cannot go everywhere, so you can get as much information as possible about local culture by visiting museums What is more, visiting museums gives us a good chance to make new friends Surely, there are a lot of people will visit museums like us We can chat with them about what we see and what we hear At the end of visiting, we sit together to have a cup of coffee and we become good friends By exchanging telephone number, we can also keep in touch with each other late What a good experience! In a word, more and more people visit museums when they travel to new places because they want to get more pleasure from their journey ESSAY 2: People love to visit museums when traveling to new places I think this is because museums tell them a lot about the culture of those places Museums are also fun It's almost impossible to get bored in a museum Every museum will have at least one thing of interest to somebody When visiting someplace new, you can find out about the culture of that place in many ways You can go to a movie or a place of worship or a nightclub Another option is to sit in the park and listen to the people around you The easiest way to learn about a-place's culture, though, is by visiting its museums Museums will show you the history of the place you're visiting They'll show you what art the locals think is important If there aren't any museums, that tells you something, too Museums are fun Even if you're not interested in art or history, there is always something to get your attention Many museums now have what they call "hands-on" exhibits These were originally designed to keep children occupied while their parents were looking at exhibits ÔN THI CAO HỌC ĐỢT KHÓA – 2020 – MÔN ANH VĂN – CHỦ ĐỀ - WRITING However, museums have found that adults enjoy hands-on opportunities just as much as children These exhibits have activities like pushing a button to hear more about what you're looking at, creating your own work of art, or trying on clothes like those on the models in the museum People also enjoy visiting museums about unusual subjects For instance, in my hometown there's a museum devoted to the potato This museum has art made out of potatoes It also tells all about the history of the potato, and sells potato mementos like key chains and potato dolls People enjoy visiting this museum because it's different It's not something they'd find in their hometown and the museum's curators enjoy talking about the most special thing that only that place has Museums are popular because they are about us They reflect our creations, our values, and our dreams No matter who you are or what you like, somewhere there is a museum that will amaze and interest you Neighbors are the people who live near us In your opinion, what are the qualities of a good neighbor? ESSAY 1: Neighbours are the people who live near us, and their behaviour influence our daily life Good neighbours can make us feel comfortable and give us many help, and everyone will benefit from a good relationship among neighbours In my point of view, these are three conspicuous aspects of the qualities of a good neighbours One of the most important characteristic of good neighbours is that they have a good living habit and are friendly to others A person with bad habit will affect your daily life For example, children are most likely to be influnced by bad neighbors and carry on bad habits On the other hand, being friendly is also an important nature of good neighbors If neighbours are unfriendly, they are hard to approach and difficult to get along with Another important aspect of of good neighbors is that they should be willing to help others In our daily life, emergency situations may happen, and we may encounter difficulties which can not be resolved by ourselves At this time, the quickest help we can get is probably from our neighbors To some degree, neighbours are as important as relatives to us, because they could provide the immediat help In the same way, a neighbour who likes to help others will get help in return Help each others can form a friendly and harmonious relationship among the neighbours ÔN THI CAO HỌC ĐỢT KHĨA – 2020 – MƠN ANH VĂN – CHỦ ĐỀ - WRITING All in all, a good neighbour is someone who have a good living habit, is friendly and is willing to help others Taking into account of all these factors, we may reach the conclusion that a good relationship among neighbours need the maintenance from us ESSAY 2: Neighbors are part of our daily lives They are part of the process of socialization Socialization is the process in which we interact with other people In our lives we are always trying to look for a good area to live, a nice house, and most important of all good neighbors This will influence in the decision of either moving to the area, or star looking for another area In my opinion a good neighbor will be those who are respectful, friendly, and helpful The first quality that good neighbors should have is to be respectful respect is the most important aspect of being good neighbor Neighbors should respect your space and privacy in order to live in a peaceful environment Being a respectful neighbor means not invading your personal space as well as your property Another example will be to maintain a quiet environment not allowing loud music, or noise that will bother others Respect to one another is the most important quality that a neighbor should have in order to live in harmony Another quality of a good neighbor is that it should be friendly All people should be friendly to one another, but this quality is most important when it comes to neighbors Neighbors are close to you, to your home, property and most important to your family You might not see them every day, but they live next to you all the time These are the reasons why they should be friendly One of the ways to be friendly is by showing they care about you, and they should welcome you to their neighborhood Friendly neighbors make a good and united society The last quality of good neighbor is that it should be helpful Neighbors as well as everyone should be helpful to one another Helpfulness is a characteristic that everyone should have A helpful neighbor is that, that in the times of need is there for you For example, if a person is in a situation where he/she need a moral support for the lost a loving family member, the neighbor should give this person all the support he/she might need and encourage he/she that they can count on them no matter what Overall good neighbors are those whom are respectful in every way Friendly, that every time you see them they greet you with a good smile And good neighbors are those whom are helpful when ever you need a supporting hand Some people prefer to cook at home Other people prefer to eat out Whichdo you prefer? ÔN THI CAO HỌC ĐỢT KHĨA – 2020 – MƠN ANH VĂN – CHỦ ĐỀ - WRITING ESSAY 1: In the modern life now, more and more people prefer to eat at food stands or restaurants They think that will save time so that they can have enough time to their jobs But I still prefer to prepare and eat food at home There several reasons First of all, you can save money if you eat at home In general, to get profit, the restaurants ask for more money on the same food you cook at home That is the waste of money To save money, you may prefer to prepare you food at home with less money The second, usually, the food in the restaurants is not what you are expecting You may dislike the way the restaurant cook the same dishes as you at home For example, the other day, I asked for potato in a restaurant After the first bite, I thought it was so awful My mom never cooked such potato for me! The bad lunch even destroyed my mood in that day The third, if you prepare food by yourself, you will have a happy mood when you eat it, regardless of the real savor of the food It goes a saying well "labor brings happiness" In addition, you can change your method of cooking considering your taste on that day The reasons above may can answer why I prefer to eat food at home Cooking even has become my hobby now Come back and have your delicious food, I'm sure you will like it! ESSAY2: Some people like to eat out at food stands and restaurants, while others like to prepare food at home Often it depends on the kind of lifestyle people have Those with very busy jobs outside the house don't always have time to cook They like the convenience of eating out Overall, though, it is cheaper and healthier to eat at home While eating in restaurants is fast, the money you spend can add up When I have dinner at a restaurant with a friend, the bill is usually over twenty dollars I can buy a lot of groceries with that much money Even lunch at a fast-food stand usually costs five or six dollars for one person That's enough to feed the whole family at home Eating at home is better for you, too Meals at restaurants are often high in fat and calories, and they serve big plates of food-much more food-than you need to eat at one meal If you cook food at home, you have more control over the ingredients You can use margarine instead of butter on your potatoes, or not put so much cheese on top of your pizza At home, you can control your portion size You can serve yourself as little as you want In a restaurant, you may eat a full plate of food "because you paid for it." ÔN THI CAO HỌC ĐỢT KHÓA – 2020 – MÔN ANH VĂN – CHỦ ĐỀ - WRITING It's true that eating out is convenient You don't have to shop, or cook, or clean up But real home cooking doesn't have to take up a lot of time There are lots of simple meals that don't take long to make In fact, they're faster than eating out, especially if you think of the time you spend driving to a restaurant, parking, waiting for a table, waiting for service, and driving home Both eating at restaurants and cooking at home can be satisfying Both can taste good and be enjoyed with family and friends I prefer cooking at home because of the money and health issues, but people will make the choice that fits their lifestyle best Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Television, newspapers, magazines, and other media pay too much attention to the personal lives of famous people such as public figures and celebrities ESSAY 1: Nowadays, technological development in the field of media have changed the world and the way to spread the different kinds of news Especially these medias always target to public figures and celebrities personal lives I agree the above statement Media people should cover limited news about celebrities personal life First of all, television and other media's like online websites play back to back news about celebrities and public figures The news may be good or bad, but they won't stop at-least for week This effects ones personal life, especially to children Almost all Television channels have a exclusive shows for celebrities gossips And people are very curious to know about their favorite celebrities personal life For example, many people crazily follow their favorite celebrities lifestyle, the way they dress, talk, walk and lot more Some people worship them as god Television and other media make people to watch back to back news of celebrities In addition, sometimes these medias show useful programs of public figures and celebrities that people enjoy watching it Like sports players, famous scientists, business people and many more It is good to follow positive things from your favorite public figures and celebrities Children are very quickly manipulated by media news whether its good or bad news And children very easily adapt their favorite hero or heroin's behavior For instance, a actor died by consuming drugs and the media published as if, the actor did a great achievement Media should really concentrate on which news is bad and good And stop telecasting bad news over and over Furthermore, all types of medias show the news for almost a week or 10 days to increase there T.R.P (television rating point) And sometimes these news effects even the financial market like stock exchange For example, in my country a popular business ambassador acquired a big company ÔN THI CAO HỌC ĐỢT KHÓA – 2020 – MÔN ANH VĂN – CHỦ ĐỀ - WRITING and the stock prices went up, people started selling their stocks So media's news is very powerful and effective In short, media should concentrate on their limits of telecasting news Publish more on useful programs And stop repeating things ESSAY 2: It is often said that, “it has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity” This is now where more evident than, idiot box, newspaper, magazine and other media pay too much attention to the private accommodation of famous personalities such as public figures and celebrities I will explore the reasons for this tendency and discuss its benefits and drawbacks There are many factors which I would consider to substantiate my view The primary is that media is a obligatory part of human’s life Electronic media get a knowledge about the famous personalities as they spread their information in magazines, newspaper and other things In other words, mass media gives information about their living style along with they describe their relationship and what time, they meet with others Many effects like, electronic media does contributes in the life of famous celebrities Moreover, mere negative effects of mass media If electronic media give positive information about the celebrities but other side they give wrong information of them along with they spread a wrong things on television, newspaper and magazines Sometime electronic media print a fake news about them They donot care about their image Namely, mass media make a wrong relations with others like he or she about them In fact, electronic media a plethora interfere in their life When all is said and done, media has umpteen of advantages but its demerits cannot be underestimated People can learn many things about them Individuals can change their living style from famous personalities Some people believe that the Earth is being harmed (damaged) by human activity Others feel that human activity makes the Earth a better place to live What is your opinion?

Anyone living in or near a city has experienced "urban sprawl." There is a new shopping area on every corner and new houses, townhouses and apartments everywhere Traffic gets worse and worse because planners can't keep up with growth Keeping up with human demand is hard enough Environmental concerns come in last With growth comes pollution Companies and communities dump waste into water Landfills are full of trash Emissions from factories pollute the air Barrels of industrial waste and worse, radioactive waste, have no safe place to go If we're not careful, we can harm our planet beyond repair People need to respect the Earth and try to preserve it If we don't, what kind of future will we have? (We are too careless in taking what we want without giving anything back.) ESSAY 2: I certainly agree people today are destroying the nature They constantly use natural recourses because of their qualities And the growing population destroy animal’s habitat and as well as polluting the air with various garbage Firstly, because of the energetic qualities of the petrol, which is made by the Earth overtime, is rapidly used by people nowadays As a sustainable part in various machines this fuel is very precious to humans Also wood is very spread ingredient in many objects such as houses, furniture By cutting down trees we harm our planet Secondly, population on this planet is quickly increasing its number The lack of room has made people back in seventeenth century to search for new continents Now alike this time people seek to increasing their homestead As a result many of nature habitats are being destroyed Numerous mammals and other animals are listed as died out or almost missing from environmental map Thirdly, due to the great pollution make are destroying the ozone layer, which is now getting thinner This harms the Earth and in addition, will affect the human after time Ozone layer protects people from the emitted rays by the Sun As a result the temperature on the Earth is not that high and sustainable for life ÔN THI CAO HỌC ĐỢT KHĨA – 2020 – MƠN ANH VĂN – CHỦ ĐỀ - WRITING Furthermore there are many artificial items They need time in order to decompose This period is like 300 years or more Many plants are dying from such garbage And plants are vital to the Earth’s condition because they provide with oxygen To summarize, there is no doubt that due people action Earth is dying slowly Everyone should figure out new methods, which will maintain our life on this planet It is our duty to make this happen What are some other reasons that people work?
