Nowadays the way many people interact with each other has changed because of

technology. In what ways has technology affected the types of relationships that
people make? Has this been a positive or negative development?
 Technology has become one of the most influential parts of our daily life in
this day and age due to its essential conveniences for our living activities.
Therefore, it is true that new technologies have influenced communication
among people. Technology has affected relationships in various ways, and I
strongly believe that there are both positive and negative effects.
 On the one hand, technology has had a positive impact on relationships in
business, education and social life. To start with, telephones and the Internet
allow business people in different countries to interact without ever meeting
each other. Moreover, services like Skype create new possibilities for
relationships between students and teachers. For example, a student can now
take video lessons with a different city or country teacher.
 On the other hand, these developments can be extremely negative. These
days, email, phone, or video interactions are almost as good as face-to-face
meetings. For that reason, it is true to say that technology promotes a
sedentary lifestyle. Furthermore, the availability of new communication
technologies can also isolate people and discourage real interaction. For
instance, many young people choose to make friends online rather than
mixing with their peers in the real world, and as a result, these ‘virtual’
relationships are a poor substitute for real friendships.
 In conclusion, technology has certainly revolutionized communication
between people, but not all of the outcomes of this revolution have been
positive.
Topic: As computers are being used more and more in education, there will be
soon no role for the teacher in education. To what extent do you agree or
disagree?
Do:
 It is indisputable that the use of computers in education is increasing
rapidly. It has been considered whether teachers will no longer have a
relevant role in the classroom setting in the teaching environment due to
the growing use of technology in teaching or not. In my point of view, I
disagree and this will be outlined in this essay.
 There are arguments that computers are wonderful machines and there is
no paucity of information on the web. Computers; however, is an
artificial invention which means it is unable to understand such
complicated things as humans’ emotions or feelings and teachers are the
one who can acknowledge their fervours deeply and help them to get
over these temporary feelings. For instance, when students have some
problems with their mentally living, the Internet cannot give suitable
advice but teachers can help them to make the right decisions.
Furthermore, if students want to share their needs, they can speak their
minds openly and freely.
 Admittedly, teachers have more experience in knowing how to assist
their disciples to analyse and apply the knowledge into their living
activities. Taking English as an example, teachers are capable of
manifesting undergraduates as the fastest way to improve. Consequently,
pupils will be manageable to enlarge their capacity to grasp efficiently
and save precious time.
 In conclusion, although computers are being used ubiquitously, teachers
will not be on the way to losing their positions which are germane to
schooling.

Topic: Covid’s impacts on business and solutions to them.


 Numerous non-state-owned enterprises have been pushed into a significantly
difficult circumstance by the COVID-19 epidemic. This essay’s purpose is
to state a few detrimental impacts of the pandemic on businesses and
applicable solutions to alleviate this challenging situation. 

 Firstly, bankruptcy among small and medium-sized enterprises would be an


inevitable phenomenon. Since coronavirus prevents human direct
interactions, lots of short and long-term quarantines have been implemented
on a national scale. Therefore, the suspension of manufacturing, service
providing will cause a considerable loss in revenue, while rental fees and
machinery maintenance costs are still required. Having limited capital,
enterprises that suffer from a huge deficit may be driven into the worst
scenario - bankruptcy. Another negative effect would be a shrink in overseas
investment. By constantly making a huge loss, foreign-owned companies
will not be willing to invest in this market anymore. For instance, after
sending two proposals to the Vietnamese government about stopping the
quarantine which had been lasting for three months but not receiving desired
results, Samsung decided to move their factory out of this nation’s territory.

 Some policies can be implemented to mitigate this business hardship. One


possible solution would be governmental support by letting the state bank
lend enterprises affected by the COVID-19 epidemic money with a low-
interest rate. This is equivalent to a lifeline helping them not sink to a
financially inferior circumstance by compensating for the loss caused by
quarantines. However, whereas compensations may solely be a temporary
measure because of the limit of the national budget, a long-lasting and more
comprehensive solution would be vaccinating citizens and loosening social
distancing restrictions simultaneously. As coronavirus is amazingly adaptive
and cannot vanish completely from the Earth, it is momentous for every
nation to accept this unprecedented situation and set new normality, where
humans coexist with COVID-19 and consider it as a common disease.

 Despite not having been completely removed, coronavirus has been leaving
lots of horrendous effects on private enterprises such as bankruptcy among
small and medium-sized ones and foreign investments. Some compensatory
measures can be conducted to offset the pandemic’s consequences, but
vaccination paired with looseness in social distancing rules would be the
permanent solution.
Topic: Today more and more teens follow the trend of becoming a Youtuber or
Vlogger because of its advantages. Do you think that its benefits outweigh its
drawbacks? In about 200 words, write an essay to give your opinion. Use specific
details and examples to support your idea.
       It appears that with the growth of social media, many youngsters crave to
be bloggers or YouTubers. However, parents do not trust such venues. They
assume being fully occupied with the virtual world could be harmful and
cannot be considered a suitable job. I partly agree to some extent.
      Initially, media fever has spread widely and no one can deny its effect on
daily life. Suppose you are a teenager whose device filling with videos that
believe wealth needs no hard work or high levels of education but a few
editing and technology-related skills. With that in mind, they see no points
in bearing hardships. Hence, they decide to gain it all without trying harder
to achieve fame and wealth. 
     Additionally, it must not be left unsaid that the more they are drawn into
this, the less creative they become. Not only do they have no innovation in
making videos, but they also copy without knowing why it was made.
Nevertheless, some teenagers use these platforms effectively, but still, most
of them follow the same path as other bloggers. A tangible example is that
many Youtuber became famous at a glance but their popularity did not last
long.
       To sum up, it should not be forgotten that although media has made our
lives more convenient in numerous ways, it still has its drawbacks. Our
youngsters must learn that utilizing modern platforms is beneficial if we do
not over-use or mal-use them.
Topic: Write an essay of about 250-300 words about the following topic. A
person’s worth nowadays seems to be judged according to social status
and material possessions. Old-fashioned values, such as honour, kindness
and trust, no longer seem important.
 In today's world, people judge a person based upon one's social status and
materialistic possessions. Traditional values such as honour, kindness or
trust play a trivial role in today's world. I strongly oppose this trend due to
some facts below.
  Respect is shared upon the social status someone beholds, in turn,
dependent upon the type of job. It increases the equity of a person who can
afford higher-priced items. Neighbours consider them worthy to live close to
their home only if they are in good financial shape. For instance, sharing my
personal experience, some of the people living near my house only
interacted with me once they had learned that I had a job. Hence, this proves
that money is more important in people's eyes. 
 Honesty or kindness is the attribute present in the nature of humans. Earlier,
people used to respect such individuals who possessed such features and,
fortunately, there are still some today. For example, if there is some issue
related to health or finance, one can connect with those people to ask for
advice. However, only a low proportion of the population adores people with
these qualities. 
 To conclude, the above points did sum up that the value of a person is
judged on the societal and costly status, the exotic elements that one
possesses rather than old fashioned values. For me, those values and
attributes stay with the person forever, whereas money might not be there
always.
Write an essay of about 300 words on the following topic.
Some people think that a sense of competition in children should be
encouraged. Others believe that children who are taught to cooperate rather
than compete become more useful adults. Discuss both these views and give your
own opinion.
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own
knowledge or experience.
 In this everchanging world, people believe that children should be
competitive while others argue that cooperation is better for them to become
beneficial adults. There are rational arguments on both sides of the topic;
however, I totally agree that children concerned with competition can be
more successful in the future due to reasons which will be discussed in
detail.
 Some attitudes assume that children should compete with others despite the
stresses caused by those competitions. Nevertheless, if competitions are
healthy, they can be effective in creating a successful person. For example, if
there is an appropriate incentive and motivation for children in the
competition, they will try to enhance their efforts to be the best in such
competitions. I suppose that healthy competitions can encourage children to
spend more attempt to achieve success and triumph.
 There is an opposite view that the more children cooperate with others, the
more beneficial adults they will become. This controversy can be correct to
some extent. If children learn to work together, they can learn team working
skills such as the most vital one, socialise. This contribution can lead
children to better relationships. Take children full-fledged for co-operation
and team working, for example, they can have a well-paid job.
 In conclusion, although there are assumptions that cooperations influence
delivering more successful and helpful adults, I believe that competition will
be a more efficient means for children to be useful in the future.
Some people think that too much technology can have a negative impact on our
lives. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
In about 250 words, write an essay to express your opinion on the issue. Use
reasons and examples to support your composition.
 The 21st century has already seen numerous considerable progress in
technology. Indeed, these improvements in technology have revolutionized
people’s lives. However, some believe that these modern appliances have
more negatives than benefits in an individual's life, which I totally agree
with. In this essay, the effects of technological advancements on
communication and employment opportunities will be analyzed.

 To begin with, people nowadays are more dependent on electronic devices


for communicating with others. A good illustration for this is the recent
innovation of such applications: ‘Line’; ‘Zalo’; ‘Whatsapp’ which provides
an alternative for people to send messages free of charge. Although this
innovation allows people to keep in contact with others easily, which often
result in lack of face-to-face communication and feeling of closeness. Thus,
the link between improved technology and degraded communication skills
can be seen.

 In addition, technological devices can increase unemployment rates, as


machines are replacing manual workers. For instance, the existence of
labour-saving production lines acts as a substitute for manual workers,
causing the rise in unemployment. Therefore, some individuals are
struggling financially and cannot cover their basic needs. Therefore, the
negative implications of technology on the work status as well as the
economy are relatively clear.

 From the above examples, although some believe that technology-related


innovations and devices have brought benefits to people’s lives, I personally
debunk that technological advances have affected peoples' lives. It is thus
hoped that the elected representatives will take measures to minimize the
usage of technology in certain places for the well-being of society.
Topic: It is said that grade-9 students should do nothing but spend most of
their time studying for the entrance examination to their favourite high
schools. To what extent do you agree? Write an essay in about 250 words, use
specific details and examples to explain your view
 In today's world, it is irrefutable that the entrance examination plays a
crucial role in enabling grade-9 learners to enter their adored high schools.
Therefore, people argue whether students should contribute most of the time
to their studies or not. Although I concede that learning this way is fruitful, I
firmly side with the assumption that mentees should not pay most of their
attention to only gaining knowledge due to the following reasons.
 On the one hand, it is undeniable that focusing mainly on learning can have
a significant impact on students' knowledge which, as a result, will give
learners the ability to get optimum scores in their exams. Moreover, when
mentees obtain knowledge, they will acquire a formidable surfeit of
examination-related skills together with confidence and calmness when they
sit their exams. Due to various immediate benefits of the former point of
view, I can understand why people prioritise extra classes.
 On the contrary, it is undoubtedly that mentees without soft skills and
physically and mentally health will not possess the ability to become
successful and carefree persons. As learning is the major time-spending,
students will scarcely have a chance to improve their social skills and
awareness of their surroundings. Furthermore, lacking physical activities
will probably have awful effects on their bodies. Therefore, it may highly
lead to various illnesses. People, however, seemingly neglect these
drawbacks and repercussions.
 In conclusion, although spending more time revising for the entrance exam
brings a profusion of advantages, I strongly oppose the attitude against
students' physical development.
The bulk of the general public, thus, persistently spark off heated controversies
as to this term of themselves spending their whole time for the entrance
examination to their direct favourite schools or not. Personally, I
wholeheartedly concur that learners should not cram in one year due to the
following reasons.
with the proliferation of(topic)/ with an alarmingly escalating rates of(topic)/
