Task You should spend about 40 minutes on this task Read the following text from a book about peer group As children grow older, they become increasingly involved with their peer group, a group whose members are about the same age and have similar interests The peer group- along with the family and the school- is one of the three main socializing agents The peer group is both a positive and negative influence in our lives (Academic Encounters- Life in Society, chapter 2, page 35) Write an essay to an educated reader to discuss the effects of peer group on children Include reasons and any relevant examples to support your answer You should write at least 250 words Your response will be evaluated in terms of Task fulfillment, Organization, Vocabulary and Grammar Bài mẫu Nowadays, teenagers can be a part of different types of groups Some of them become influenced by their peers The opponents of these groups point out the negative aspects, however, I am inclined to believe that there is no one in the whole world who does not take advice and suggestions from others In the forthcoming paragraphs, I will demonstrate how communication with peers can lead to some benefits, but also will show the drawbacks of these connections All humans around the world have a proclivity to imitate others One of the main advantages of this fact is the opportunity to learn something new from peers For instance, the marks of one student are the worst in his class, but after communicating with an excellent classmate they can be improved by the hardworking process It means, that a first rank holder may influence dull students at school Moreover, different interests of peers may create an open-minded community As an example, having peers who are into something that is not interested in one, can lead to growing interest over time All these examples above manifest the fact that peers are needed in one's life and due to the friendship with them can share thoughts, get advice and take moral support As every rose has o thorn, peer pressure has some drawbacks A weak-minded person connects to the wrong peer group and ends up getting addicted to alcohol or even drugs Communication with bad companies contributes to some health repercussions and one is likely to get cancer, stroke or heart disease Another example of this notion is a bright student with astonishing knowledge may perform poorly due to negative peer pressure So, care by family or friends must be taken to prevent fall prey to the wrong peer pressure In conclusion, I am inclined to believe that the merits of peers overweigh the demerits, and in most cases lead to the benefits But parents must keep an eye on children to protect them from negative pressure from peers Bài mẫu Indeed, young ones get easily affected by behavioural traits It is seen that peer groups put a tremendous impact on behaviour Admittedly, there are some basic disadvantages of the influence of peer groups on children's behaviour Firstly, adolescents have good catching power, so they easily catch the things which are not good for them because those are interesting as well as easy to do, along with it fascinated them much Nowadays, it is seen that youngsters are habitual to intake drugs, as a result, they risk their health Furthermore, along with it increases the crime rate because children used to crime to have drugs and to meet their standards They don't think what would be the effect of it in the nearby future as they are not able to control their self after getting into it Nevertheless, despite the disadvantages above, I believe this could be more advantageous for the children One potentially positive, aspect is that this could enhance the power of the competition, through this they would immensely better in academics To put in another way, betterment in their future life ought to be expected as they good in the prior stage Moreover, the adoption of good habits and learning new skills will also be added in it A great impact on their personality can easily be seen For instance, if there are two friends, one is a spiritual, obedient, hard worker and punctual than these good habits of one's must insist the other one to adopt it So, a positive peer group motivates a child to better further In conclusion, embrace good manner as well as to be competitive in a good way far outweigh any of the minor benefits that could result from children involved in with a peer group in a negative way Task You should spend about 40 minutes on this task Read the following text from a book about advertizing Advertizing is a very common feature of all our daily media In fact, in most daily newspapers, advertizing makes up the majority of the content Very large amounts of money are spent on advertizing A television commercial can easily cost many thousands of dollars per second (Academic Encounters- Life in Society, chapter 5, page 117) Write an essay to an educated reader to discuss both advantages and disadvantages of advertizing Include reasons and any relevant examples to support your answer You should write at least 250 words Your response will be evaluated in terms of Task fulfillment, Organization, Vocabulary and Grammar Bài mẫu Nobody could indeed escape the power of advertising these days, whether it is commercial or online advertising While some people believe that it is a positive part of our lives, I would argue that this is rarely the case On the one hand, a few advertisements might provide useful information about products or services which are available in the market For example, someone may be planning to book the holiday, but there is a bewildering range of possible destinations to choose from As a result, such advertisements might help customers to make the right choice of holiday resort to meet their needs From my perspective, some tourist brochures helpful when I was looking for a quiet place to take my mind off problems In some cases, advertising might be a positive aspect of our lives On the other hand, however, I consider that advertising is largely intrusive Firstly, it is intrusive because we are surrounded by the images and sounds of advertisements, disturbing our privacy For example, I regularly receive telesales marketing calls on my phone when I was busy or try reading a book Secondly, people are easily swayed by advertisements to buy goods impulsively To be specific, advertising agencies often try to make their products appeared on tv shows and in this way persuading the customer to buy their products These things might not have the same quality as an advertisement, which makes the customer feel disappointed or cheated In conclusion, I believe that most advertising has a negative impact on our lives, in terms of stress and the creation of false dreams of fulfilments, This is because before the commercials delivered, the company will probably use some quotes and word to describe that is over-exaggerate so that contribute to misunderstanding of products As a result, customers are likely to own products of much lower quality than advertised In conclusion, I personally believe that advertisements can influence people in both positive and negative ways Therefore, the customers should be careful about receiving those and always analyze advertising before beginning to have a trustworthy to the products adverting is extremely successful at persuading us to buy things Bài mẫu In the long run, advertisement is helping the manufacturer to promote and marketing their product and service to consumers It has brought the substantial changes about imposing the development of consuming and trading in the society Some people believe this has both positive and negative impacts on our lives, and personally, I completely agree with such viewpoint On the one hand, active advertising activities contribute to economic development by stimulating the market Advertising is one of the main means for marketing industrial goods and services Without the help of aggressive advertising businesses it is difficult to publicize their products or brands The more they advertise, the more opportunities they have to sell their goods From the consumer's perspective, advertising also plays a clear role in making a right choice Advertising can be informative and offers a wider range of options that best suit each consumer's interests and values On the other hand, too much advertising money is not without social costs First, the cost is increasing, which causes a greater burden for both customers and industry Secondly, too many ads can encourage impulsive shopping behaviour for consumers and it can also mislead buyers by making it difficult to make the right decision Finally, advertisements that are inappropriate for your age will cause serious problems For example, children who are unfortunate enough to see an actionoriented ads will get them caught first even though they not understand In conclusion, the fact that advertisements of all types surround people can influence their lives in both positive and negative ways, and companies should consider giving the accurate information, and reduce their budgets for advertising to mitigate the drawbacks mentioned above TOPIC 1: These days, more and more people are going to other country for significant periods of time,

working in a foreign country You should write at least 250 words Your response will be evaluated in terms of tasks Fulfillment, Organization, Vocabulary and Grammar Bài mẫu It is undoubtedly true that the majority of individuals are going to other countries for a huge amount of time in order to find a job or to course which is one of today's issues It has been pointed out, many obvious benefits in place of doing this However, it is suggested that in oversees they confront with some challenges This essay will suggest that becoming independent is the biggest advantage of this and followed by an analysis of how the primary demerits, namely feeling homesick and facing some challenges There are certainly a number of accepted reasons for the advantage to study and living abroad Firstly, people who have gone to study abroad study are more likely to be independent people in their personal lives that is to say that they become more responsible for cooking, cleaning and paying bills Secondly, overseas students are exposed to different cultures and customs Also, qualifications gained abroad can open the door to better job opportunities For instance, the Sunday Times recently reported that 75% of overseas students are more likely to be better in their future careers and maintain work and life balance Despite these advantages, many students often face some challenges and difficulties First and foremost, living alone in an unfamiliar culture can cause homesickness which initially leads them to be frustrated and become more stressed Furthermore, the language barrier can be a huge problem even though they know that language Last but not least, students have to find accommodation themselves and pay bills In conclusion, going abroad to whether to study or work might be good for their future career, but they should be careful that it does not lead to the disillusionment with education or work when they face some difficulties One of the advantages noticed is that you get to enjoy new surroundings and new place may seem like a holiday This will have a positive impact on your well-being Furthermore, staying alone also makes you independent which makes you better at managing your finances One of them is you get the feeling of isolation as you are away from your family and friends, when you are trying to cope up with the new surroundings if you are unwell, you will not have anyone to look after you and take care of you This may have an impact on your well being in the long run Bài mẫu With the advancement of this era, the number of immigrants is increasing day by day Most of the people are going to the abroad for their higher study or to find a better opportunity for them and this could be for a limited period of time No doubt, this trend brings the numerous benefits with it, but it has also numbers of drawbacks This essay will discuss that how the migration to the foreign countries will help to learn a new language as well as to learn the use of new technology This essay will also explain that why this trend could be dangerous in the terms of language barriers and the adaptation of the culture To begin with, if the people will move to the other country, then they will learn the different language, which will increase the rate of their success For example, when someone moves to the abroad, then he has to learn the accent of that region, which will help that person achieve a better opportunity, when he will come back to his country Apart from it, every region has their own ways to use technology and by moving there one can easily acquire the new skills to use the machines, which can be implemented by him in his own city, and with it the city will achieve a success On the other side, this trend has some disadvantages too Firstly, it will bring a problem related to the wording For instance, a new person who has recently moved to the new country, will face the problem in order to understand the accent of the native people of that place, because he does not have enough knowledge of their vocabulary In these cases, the person might lose his confidence, and as a result, he will fail in his study Moreover, every culture has some differences, and there will be the possibilities for a learner to adapt the culture When he will adapt a different culture as compared to his own region, then it will create an issue, when he will come back to his city To conclude, in these days, everyone wants to go to the foreign country and it could be to complete the study or to find the work This essay discussed that how this trend will teach the language and the usage of the technology to the people, but it also can be harmed the persons with language barriers and the chances of adaptation of new culture GỢI Ý ĐỀ VIẾT ĐỀ 3: Students are becoming more and more reliant on the internet While the internet is convenient, it has many negative effects and its use for educational purposes should be restricted To extent you agree? You should write at least 250 words Your response will be evaluated in terms of tasks Fulfillment, Organization, Vocabulary and Grammar Bài mẫu The internet is becoming something special essential in our daily life to fulfil most of our tasks Due to this fulfilment, the internet is becoming more and more dependable by the students It is believed that the internet has a lot of negative sides to the student users and should be restricted, even though, if it was for educational purposes In my opinion, I absolutely agree with the statement that internet users should be restricted due to its negative effects on student users It is undeniable that the internet is something essential in modern life, to all users not only for just students But there are many reasons why the internet should be restricted from the students Primarily, relying on the internet can affect our way of learning that we tend to rely more on the internet, as a result of that, most the students are just looking for answers to the specific type of question on the internet and start copying it Moreover, students who lean on finding their answers on the internet will face a lot of problems when they apply it in their jobs in the future, due to lack of learning Secondly, not having a restriction use of the internet by the students may result in wasting a lot of time, for instance, surfing the internet without any restriction can lead students to access to a variety of websites that will distract them from getting benefit from the internet in efficient time To sum up, students should have limited access to the internet, due to lack of learning and wasting time With the advancement of technology, methods of attaining the knowledge have changed over the period Nowadays, students are highly dependent on the internet for their studies However, excessive usage of the internet might have detrimental impacts on children, but the positive effects of the internet on educational purposes can not be neglected On the one hand, over usage of the internet can cause screen addiction and physical problems among children This is because youngsters will unnecessarily surfing on webpages for a long time period This advocacy can lead to addiction as well as health problems like obesity, blood pressure, diabetics and many more For example, it should be noted that research held by the Melbourne University projected that a 45% of young adults in 2019 was suffering from screen addiction, which directly impacts their health Bài mẫu 2: The Internet has become an important part of a daily routine in the current times Students these days are depending more and more on the internet I agree with the statement that although the internet is feasible , it has many side effects which should not be neglected Additionally , its usage in the educational area should be limited Firstly , it has restricted the student's horizons to think and resolve the problem by themselves Whenever they are stuck , they are inclined to rely on the internet instead of thinking of the solution on their own For instance , students are assigned some projects at school Instead of going through various books , library and offline material, they prefer to get the answers on the internet.Furthermore , instead of relying completely on it , they should use it in a limited manner such as , it can be used for getting some illustrations and graphs and rest they should focus to by themselves Secondly , though web browsing has made life easier by providing solutions to various problems in one place with a single click , it has made us lazier Earlier , students used to travel to each other houses for group studies or project work but now they just prefer to connect using applications like zoom For example, virtual classes are prefered these days over traditional ones This has reduced the interactions among the students To add on , students tend to stay indoors and play online games rather than going out and play together This has caused health issues too To conclude, everything comes with its pros and cons One should not neglect the negative side The Internet no doubt makes our life easier, but it has limited the horizon to think for the students In the study field also it should be limited to some extend GỢI Ý ĐỀ VIẾT TOPIC 4: It is not necessary to travel to other places to learn the culture of other people We can learn much from books, films and the internet Do you agree or disagree? You should write at least 250 words Your response will be evaluated in terms of tasks Fulfillment, Organization, Vocabulary and Grammar Bài mẫu It is commonly believed that it is not essential to travel to the nations or territories to figure about their cultures, and today’s state - of - the - art technological facilities such as computers connected to the Internet or films can be used In my view, I not agree with this thinking It is understandable why some people advocate the idea of learning about the culture without going travelling to other sites The rationale for this is that in this day and age, thanks to Internet coverage on almost the corners of the world, a wealth of knowledge about all fields are available for people to have access to, with no exception of culture - associated information People can easily find the answers for questions or issues about culture which they are interested in only by searching on Google or other browsers In addition, film producers also tend to include the contents about culture into some their films to advertise the image of their country so that people also find out about it through this kind of films, or even through culture-related books which are various today However, some information on the Internet, in the books or films may be incorrect or make no sense to read Moreover, some knowledge, which readers care about, may not be included on the Internet, books or films All of these may limit the human’s perception of the certain culture I am of the opinion that people should go travelling to the countries where they want to find out its culture and custom to have practical experience in lieu of learning through the Internet or materials offering only theories which sometimes are insufficient for people’s information exploration The reason is that travellers would have a chance to experience actually, figure out about culture by themselves, but not by others’ thinking or review written in newspapers or books This could help them truly understand about what the culture of the country really is and how it is presented in reality Although today, moving to other places to know about the culture is considered an unnecessary method, it could bring lots of practical experience which books, films or the Internet could not bring about To begin with, books, films and the Internet allow people to acquire knowledge about cultures First of all, because books, films and the Internet are great sources of information, people can easily find out whatever they want to know For example, using google enables an individual living in Viet Nam to search for all information about cultures of Afican countries Moreover, obtaining information through books, films and the Internet does not cost as much money as travelling, which encourages more people to gain knowledge about other cultures If books, films and the Internet were not available, the poor might not be able to learn about cultures of other people around the world However, there are several reasons why individuals need to pay a visit to places to gain information about other cultures Firstly, travelling gives people the chance to to talk to or even live with local residents For example, when visiting Nepal, tourists can experience real life of local people or join their festivals This may lead to visitors’deeper understanding of other cultures In addition, going to other destinations provides individuals with interesting experiences Tourists can discover new things that are not mentioned in books, films or on the Internet, which might arouse their interest in learning about cultures of other people Bài mẫu The issue of whether people should travel to different places has been raising a lot of debates Some might say that going around the world can substantially help everyone expand their knowledge about another culture, learn a new language and so on On the contrary, insist on the opinion that we not need to go anywhere, we just stay at home and search all of this by book, films or the internet Viewing from perspective, I personally agree with the former opinion for the following reasons To begin with, travelling to other countries can broaden horizons by contacting other population Firstly, every place has its own culture and if we get in touch with them then we can learn about their festivals, traditions For example, in America when everyone meets each other they will give a huge that is the way folk expose their emotion to others Secondly, by moving to some nation we can learn about their language easily For instance, people can adapt to a foreign language faster if they have the opportunity to talk with a native speaker This interaction brings a great result in someone who wants to study new languages Finally, travelling around the world, the crowd can open their mindset and overlook by absorb new society of a different state This leads them to have a foundation understanding so that they can get a great job with a high salary in the future On the other hand, some population say that nowadays, when technology is developed so the crowd can know everything by using the internet or watching youtube Besides, travelling to other countries costs so much money and some crowd not have enough money to pay for it However, reality experience is better than seeing the pictures on television because they will have interaction with each other so that they can understand it clearly In conclusion, learning knowledge by staying at home is not an effective way to get other cultures from different countries because this is a passive approach and hardly keep pictures in mind so that people should travel to any places to access their civilization by real exposure ...
