ESSAY

1. Describe the human causes of climate change and the effects

that climate change will have on the planet (unit 2)
Climate change is becoming a worrying issue today. Because its
harmfulness, it has greatly affected people’s lives and evironment. A
major cause of the problem is humans. Fisrtly, the main human cause of
climate change is the emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon
dioxide and methan into the atmosphere. The burning of fossil fuels like
coal, oil and gas in vehicles, power plants and industries releases large
amounts of carbon dioxide. Secondary, Deforestation is another major
cause, as cutting down trees removes natural carbon sinks that absorb
carbon dioxide from the air
The above causes have a very strong impact on the atmosphhere , which
making clime change more and more strongly. So that leads to a lot of
influence. As greenhouse gas concentrations in the asmostphere increase
temperature of global. Besides, melting glacier and ice sheets add water
to the oceans lead to rise sea levels and nowadays there are more
extreme weather events like droughts, floods, storms and wildfires, they
are becoming more frequent. From this influence leads to happen loss of
biodiversity, It rise temperatures and changing habitats threaten plant
and animal species.
If we don’t have urgent action to reduce emissions, the impacts of
climate change will intensify and cause social and economic disruption
globally by the end of this century

2. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of two solutions to a

city’s traffic congestion problems (unit 3)
Traffic cogestion is a serious problem in cities worldwide. There are
simply too many vehicles competing for too little space. So we must
have solution for this issue. But every solution has advantages and
disadvantages to a city’s traffic congestion. Example, expanding public
transportion is the fisrt solution because it helps reduce traffic and
pollution. By taking people out of their cars and onto buses, trains and
public transportation can significantly reduce traffic congestion. Besides,
it produces fewer emissions per passengers than cars or motobikes,
which can improve air quality in cities. Otherwise, we also have
dowside, public transportation may not be really available in all areas of
a city, making it in convenient for some people. Additionally, Public
transportation can become overcrowded during rush hour, making it
uncomfortable for passengers. Secondary, another solution is building
more roads and highways. It allows traffic to disperse across a wider
area which mayhelp distrbute congestion. Vehicles can move freely and
avoid traffic jams. But building more roads and highways costs a lot of
money - requires land acquisition and constrution costs. Every solution
always has shortcomings, but we must implement solutions to reudce
this siutation. Encourage you to obey traffic laws.
3. Should colleges and universities require students to take
physical education classes? (unit 5)
Plysical education plays an important role in part of their degree
requirements. Require plysical education classes would help student get
regular exercise and remain healthy during their college years. So
colleges and universities require students to take physical education
classes.
In today’s world, many college students sit for long hours in
classrooms and libraries or in front of screens. This can have negative
impacts on physical and mental health. Plysical classes would ensure
students engage in physical activity for at leasr one semester. Regular
exercise increases life expectancy and reduces the risk of early death by
30%. It also improves your mood, self-esteem and sleep quality. Sports
and fitness are great stress relievers and can boost mood, concentration
and academic performance.
Futhermore, Physical education can provide valuable social and
emotional benefits. They also teach important life lessons like
teamwork, time management and leadership skills through team sports
and group activities. Physical classes can be a space for stress relief and
social interaction, combating the isolation that some students are facing.
Mandatory Physical education classes could counter trends
towards obesity and health issues in college-aged populations. Overall
physical and mental wellness are just as important for student success as
academic achievement. So requiring physical education courses would
promote overview.

4. Choose a new area of technology or invention and discuss its

advantages and disadvantages (unit 6)
Artificial intelligence (AI) has advanced rapidly in recent years
and started to impact various area of our lies. It provides significant
benefits but also brings some troubles that affect output quality.
On the positive side, AI technologies are helping to improve
productivity across many industries like healthcare, transportation,
education and more. Besides, it helps us look for imformation with just
one click instead of find in a book page by page. AI assistants can handle
simple inquires and task to save time and resources. Advanced systems
also have the potential to solve complex problems beyond human
capabilities.
However, It still has some dowsides. AI may displace certain jobs
and reduce demand for some human workers. Example systems become
more sophisticated, they can control vehicles automatically at which
point drivers will lose their jobs. Al update must be continous otherwise
it will affect knowledge for example it can’t filter imformation correctly
when searching for social news. That can affect quality product of you.
Overall, Artificial intelligence is a new area of technology and
brings us a lot of benefts and convenience in life . Although there are
still some disadvantages, they are not signidicant in general. So let’s use
this technology product wiselym consider and find imformation
carefully.

5. The fashion Industry is harmful to society and the

environment. Do you agree or disagree? (unit 7)
I am agree the fashion industry can be harmful to society and the
evironment if not properly perform. The fashion industry is rapidly
developing so it can be harmful in several ways.
In fashion industry, Fast fashion leads to overproduction and
waste. Unchecked consumption encouraged by “thwoaway” trends
strains planetary resources and fuels climate change. It is a part for
global warning. Besides, dying or manufacturing processes pollute water
sources if effuents aren’t treated properly like landfills or heat.
About human resources, low wages and poor working conditions
are prevalent in many textile factories. Because they concentrate
quantity of products produced. This negatively impacts global labor
forces and quality of product. Additionally, this industry can
encouraging a “buy now, dispose of later” that disregards the
environmental and ethical costs of clothing production.
Overall, the future of the fashion industry is developing but cannot
be properly controlled and adjusted. Let’s be a smart producer and
consumer in this field to bring the best results in the near future.

4. [PROB & SOLU] What is the most serious transportation problem in your
city? Can you suggest solutions to solve that problem?
Transportation problem is a hot news nowadays. The most serious transportation
problem in my city is traffic congestion. There are simply too many vehicles
competing for too little space in rush hour. To reduce effect of this issue, I suggest
some solutions to solve that problem.
The Fisrt solution is engineering. This mean building more roads and highways so
that more cars and motobikes can move easily at the same time. Bridges and tunels
can be constructed to guide drivers around congested areas. Secondary, A more
popular solution is encouragring people in the city using public transportation and
cycling bike. But also riding a bicycle brings you health benefits, not only it helps
reduce air pollution. It allows people to drive to the outskirtsn of cities , park and
than take a bus to the city centre. So this system is convenient and save money
because price of ticket is cheap for student and commuter.
Finally, more creative, solutions to the congestion problem are to increase the tax
on fuel or to make people pay to travel in the centre of city. If government increase
the cost of driving, people will think more carefully about using their car.
Overall, cities are using a variety of methods to tackle the problem of traffic
congestion. Most of the methods have diffirent advantages. It seems that
encouraging alternative forms of transportation is probably the best solution
because it reduces more amount of traffic.
5. [OPINION] What are some ways that technology has changed people’s
daily lives in the past 25 years? Do you think these changes are positive or

Technology has changed many aspects people’s daily lives in the past 25 years.
These changes have been positive to ourself.
When we talk about developing of our lifes, we must recommend to phones and
computer. Each year, we will see a change from electronics manufactures.
Example, Iphone is a brand mobile. Not only they adapt our demand like video
call, message,…, but also camera quality is updated more professional. Or
Samsung create Galaxy Z Fold4 256GB, this phone can fold so it can save space
and be convenient to use.
Especially, in the imformation technology, this field has changed strongly. AI
gradually takes over a lot ò human tasks and supports a lot of work. For example,
AI helps you search more quickly than looking for imformation on website or
book. Besides, AI takes on jobs that human used to do such as drivers, accountants,
translators,…It increases accuracy and solving problems quickly.
Overall, the world is increasingly developing, so is technology. It brings many
advantages to improve human’s economic and lifestyle. In the future, technology
continues improve strongly before.
