Writing part 2

Write an essay about whether you agree/disagree about the following opinion “individual
efforts on air pollution are fruitless and it is only the government’s responsibility”

Air pollution is a significant environmental issue affecing the world today. While some
argue that individual efforts to reduce pollution are fitile and that only government intervention
can make a different. I firmly disagree, individual actions can indeed contribute significantly to
combating air pollution

In the first reason, I want to say that small changes in our daily routines can have a
collective impact, simple acts like using public transportation, carpooling and biking instead of
driving alone reduce the number of vehicles on the road, thereby decreasing emissions. Morever,
energy conservation at home such as turning off lights when not needed and using energy-
efficient appliances, decreases the demand for fossil fuels and reduces pollution

Secondly, rasing awareness plays a crucial role. Individuals can educate their
communities about the harmful effects of pollution and advocate for cleaner alternatives. By
promoting eco- friendly habits like recycling, reducing plastic use and planting trees, people can
actively contribute to cleaner air. Besides, community- led initatives such as neighborhood
clean- up drives can significantly improve local air quality

Furthermore, individuals can support business and products that prioritize environmental
sustainability by chosing eco- friendly products and supporting green technologies. Consumers
create demand for cleaner alternatives, encouraging industries to adopt environmentally friendly
practies. For example, consumers choosing companies using eco- friendly methods to reduce
things will make companies change the way of production

In conclusion, while government policies are essential, individual efforts are far from
fruitless. By taking responsibility for our actions and making mindful chocies, we can
significantly contribute to reducing air pollution and creating a healthier environment for all.
Education is a lifelong task. In what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is certainly true that education is very important for everyone these days. Education
improves the standard of human lives (nâng cao mức sống con người) to be more advanced (tiến bộ
hơn). Some people think that learning is a small short task which finishes at schools or
universities, while others argue that education is not only in schools but also continues all
human lives. The reasons to support the latter view will be discussed carefully.

To begin with, there are many ways for learning new information.

- It is not only the passive learning strategy (chiến lược học tập thụ động) at schools that people can
improve their knowledge but the active learning strategy (chiến lược học tập chủ động) through
real-life experience (trải nghiệm thực tế cuộc sống) also widen peoples’ horizon (mở rộng tầm nhìn con
người)
- Observing (quan sát) various situations (tình huống khác nhau) assessing (đánh giá) physical
activities (hoạt động thể chất) or searching interesting things in different sources (nguồn khác nhau)
can be taken in a human life in order to acquire (tiếp thu) new knowledge.

- Moreover, with the technology and the enthusiasm of learning (sự ham học hỏi) new things,
people can easily learn so many things through their own experience such as following other
ideas, watching new concepts (khái niệm mới) or updating information through media reports.
(phương tiện truyền thông)

In addition, learning from mistakes (sai lầm) definitely (chắc chắn) helps to improve people
lives

- Observing their own mistakes and learning from other mistakes enlighten (soi sáng) people
mind (tâm trí con người) to prevent the next mistake.

--> For example, spending excessive money (tiêu tiền quá mức) can lead to get in debt (nợ nần)
easily. If a person wants to stay in (duy trì) stable financial status (tình trạng tài chính ổn định), after
observing others’ financial problems, thus he/she has to aware (nhận thức được) this harmful
practice and prevent himself/ herself.
In conclusion, the curiosity (sự tò mò), experience and observation help humans to enhance
their knowledge and skills. Therefore, all of these measures (các biện pháp này) support the idea
that people improve their education all their life time (suốt cuộc đời)
More and more women are going out to work, so they can either hire a domestic worker or
eat out. Some people think that children, especially girls, do not need to learn to cook or do
housework. To what extent do you agree/ disagree with this opinion?
It is true that more and more women are going out to work, so they can either hire a domestic
worker or eat out. However, some people think that children, especially girls, do not need to
learn to cook or do housework. I firmly disagree with this opinion. Some people agree children,
especially girls, do not need to learn to cook or do housework because of some reasons.
Fristly, the children or girls should have spend more time for studying and learning at
school instead of spend time for learn cooking which helps them widen knowledge.
Secondly, they can hire a domestic worker or eat outbecause it helps them save a lot of time
and convenient. Bisides, they can eat out which help them a lot of choices with many kind
of diferrent foods.
However, I strongly think that children, grils, should do need to learn to cook or do housework
because of some reasons.
Fristly, the children an learn more soft skills such as cooking, suvivar, problem- solving in
their life and they can know more how to make new delicious food for their family which
helps them will be more close-knit.
Secondly, cooking at home helps them save a lot of money because they do not pay more
money for services or tip when they eating at restaurant.
 Finally, the children can relax and confortable when they cooking at home. Besides, they
can support housework with parents in their have free time.
In conclusion, I strongly think that I disagree with this opinion. The children or girl should
know more about housework or cooking because it is traditional of Vietnamese people
Some people think that learning only takes place in a particular and at a particular period of
time. Others argue learning should be a continuous process rather than a stage in a person’s
life. That is the reason why many people believe it is never too late to learn. To what extent
do you agree or disagree with the statements?
People have arguments about the process of learning when some people think that learning only
takes place in a particular and at a particular period of time but another some people believe that
learning should be a continuous process rather than a stage in the life of a person. These two
issues are being debated quite fiercely. For me, I completely agree with the second issue.
Marx - Lenin says: “Learn, learn more, learn forever” or “study, study more, study
forever”, they have the same means. Learning is so important in the hold life of any person.
If you want to do something, you must learn it and when you learn it, you can do it. Don’t
have anything you can know but you don’t need to learn. Learning not only makes you
have a big knowledge, achieve many skills in the life but also maintain the relationship in
society
Secondly, learning continuously is necessary for every people to remember in a long time.
The knowledge that the people learned can be suitable with development of society, so they
can use it in the life, in work or many things.
Last but not least is your life, your skill and your knowledge will be improved day by day
if you work hard and it is the one of many way to learn everyday.
In conclusion, learning continuously make you better than you at yesterday. I believe in the
quotes “Learn more, know more”. That is the reason why many people believe it is never too
late to learn.
It is believed that a good command of English can gain a great deal of information from
international resources. Do you agree or disagree?
English is an international language, so everyone should learn English in order to have an
advantage to access to the world. Some people believe that a good command of English can gain
a great deal of information from international resources.I agree with this notion.
Firstly, It helps me get close to many sources of information through the books and
material that I have read while learning. Most of the books for learning English are about
science, nature, news from around the world or much more interesting content so they can
attract readers. Therefore, I can gain a lot of useful knowledge as well as having fun time
reading them besides the skills in English.
Secondly, make a lot of new friends from many countries, and they let we know about
many different cultures, the diversity of custom and tradition. For example, I speak to
people from Europe, America and Africa, each of my friends has a lot of interesting things
for me to explore, and we are all connected with each other by English.
 Last but not least, when we can travel to many parts of the world, and there is no tool
which is simple to get and useful to help me achieve that dream like English. I am totally
confident that we can access to international friends as long as they also speak English
To sum up, a good command of English brings more benefits than just that gain a great deal of
information from international resources, and I am sure that we will regret if I do not study
English properly.

Speaking part 1

Do you prefer to walk alone or with others?

Well, as an extrovert (người hướng ngoại) , I think having a walking companion (bạn đồng hành)
sounds much more appealing (hấp dẫn hơn) than walking on my own. I love to have deep
conversations (trò chuyện sâu sắc) with my friends, so I guess (đoán rằng) walking while chatting
can turn into (trở thành) a really enjoyable experience (trải nghiệm thú vị).

Do you often walk?

I’m afraid not. I normally (thường xuyên) travel around by my motorbike since my workplace and
my school are not really near my apartment. Though I know walking regularly can do wonders
for our health (tốt cho sức khỏe), I am still too lazy to step out of my house and go for a walk.

Where do you often go to walk?

As I said before, I rarely walk. If I can spare some time for it, I think I would just walk around
my apartment, especially during scorching hot days in the city.

1. To be honest I am a regular customer coffee shop which is near my school. It is not noisy so I
can do homework.

2. I want to go alone because I want to find a place to work. My house is noisy and it is the
wrong place to be for me to work.

3. When I go to the coffee shop, I have to order my favorite drink. It is capuchino big size then I
continue my work

1. Yes I do. Girls love street food I am not exception because it is delicious

2. I do not know all the street food but I recognize that milk tea and rice paper salad is quite
popular

3. Consuming a lot of fast food is not good for our health because of containing a lot of fat and
sugar

Do you think money makes people happy?

I think I will say yes and no. Well, money actually can cheer people up to a lesser extent in
certain cases. For example, if you lack money, and you cannot cover your daily expenses, this
might make you really depressed. Or when you suffer from a serious ailment, how you can be
happy if you don’t have much money to cure it. However, in some other situations, whether
money can help you to be on intimate terms with your friends even though you betrayed them.

What do you like to do when you are happy?

When I’m in a good mood, I usually hang out with my friends and spend the whole day sippinga
cup of coffee. Sometimes, I go for a picnic and soak up the beautiful sunshine if the weather is
nice.

What do you think of happiness?

I think that happiness is a very abstract concept, and people have conflicting opinions about it.
As for me, spending some time sipping a cup of coffee with my beloved ones really cheers me
up. But others suppose that happiness comes from money or possessions. That’s why they
always wanna own as many luxurious items as possible.

What made you happy when you were little?

When I was a little kid, I was happiest when I was playing with my friends. We would play tag,
hide and seek, and make up our own games. I remember feeling so free and happy when I was
running around and exploring. Those memories always make me smile and remind me of how
carefree I once was.

Do you think people in your country are generally happy people?

From my perspective, the people in my country generally have a lot on their plate, so they
cannot be all happy-go-lucky. After all, few can be happy campers when the weight of
supporting themselves and their loved ones all rests on their shoulders. It cannot be said,
however, that people are gloomy all the time. They may not always be grinning from ear to ear,
but if you observe them as they are hanging out with their friends or spending time with family,
you will see true happiness in their eyes.

What usually makes you happy?

My family never fails to put me in a good mood. I try to spend as much of my spare time with
my loved ones as possible, whether it is going fishing with my father, cooking with my mother,
or playing video games with my little brother. However bad a mood I was in, if I came to them,
they would cheer me up so that I would be all smiles before I knew it. I truly cherish every
moment I have with them.
Do you like fast food?
No, I don’t because fast food have a lot of oil, high calories, salt. Besides, I prefer traditional
food

I sometime eat fast food. Because I don’t have a lot of time to prepare meal so I choose fast food
for my lunch.

Fast food is not good for your health if you eat it everyday . Because it have a lot of calories, oil,
salt . If you consume a lot fast food you will get some disease such as obesity, cardiovascular
disease, diabetic ...
What time do you get up? Why?
I alway get up at 7 a.m . Because I much go to school at 8 a.m and I want have time to have
breakfast and skincare
What is the benefit of getting up early?
Get up early have a lot of benefit . You have more time to do excersise or you can spend time on
your hobby so you can improve your physical and metal health. In the early morning the air are
so fresh and clean you can enjoy this atmosphere to do your habbit or have some breakfast .
Why do young generation do not like get up early?
Young generation do not like getting up early because they work or study too late at last night so
they dont’t like to get up early . Futhermore, some people is a “ night owl “ so they work so
productively at night and alway finish work too late at night so they can’t get up early in the
morning
Do you often stay updated with the latest news?
Absolutely, I make it a point to regularly update myself with the latest news. Staying informed
about current events and developments is crucial in today's fast-paced world.
Which sources of information do you usually update from?
I use a variety of sources to stay updated. Firstly, I watch the news on television, particularly
during the evening news broadcasts.
Additionally, I rely on online news websites, where I can access articles and videos related to
global, national, and local news. I also use the mobile apps of several reputable newspapers to
get news alerts and updates right on my phone. Social media platforms, such as Twitter, are also
great sources for breaking news.
How does staying updated with news matter to you?
Keeping up with the news is incredibly important to me for several reasons. Firstly, it allows me
to stay informed about significant events and issues happening around the world. This
knowledge is valuable not only for personal awareness but also for engaging in meaningful
conversations and discussions with friends, family, and colleagues. Furthermore, it helps me
make informed decisions as a responsible citizen, whether it's regarding voting in elections,
supporting social causes, or even making personal choices like investments or travel plans
 Speaking part 2

Have a gap year/ study master/ finding a job

From my perspective that my brother to have a gap year is the most ideal choice for several
reasons

- First, he graduated bachelor of business, so a gap year for him to do business by himself.
He can apply what studied at school in real market.

- Then he will have experience that nobody tells him. After falling, he is able to stand up by
himself

Next I will explain the reason why I don’t opt study master for my brother, when he does not
have any experience in doing business. I am sure that he will be bored and this school fee is
useless

In addition, finding a job is not a perfect way for him because it is not challenging for him.
Being an employee means follow what the boss asks to do. He will not have any decision

All thing considered, my brother have a gap year is the best choice for the above reasons

go to night market/ go to the movies

industry.

 On friday I will go out with my friends. I'm considering among 3 place to go... From my
perspective, go to a coffee shop with friends is the most ideal choice for several reasons.

In the first reason is that the price is reasonable. Furthermore, we can have relaxing
moments together by talking and sharing something new in our own life with our friends.
Thereby, Friendship will be strengthened.

Next I will explain reason why I don't opt go to night market. Although we can have
relaxing moments together by tasting delicious food or trying on new clothes but it might be
costly if you cannot control your desire for shopping.

In addition, go to the movies isn't my alternative since we don't like for the film and feel
it is a waste of time if the movie is boring.

What do use to take note when you are studying in class: pen and paper/ laptop or phone/
record
When I study in class I have a lot of option to choose like take note by pen and paper , use
phone or laptop and record . From my perspective I choose phone or laptop for several reasons.
Firstly, I can download document or learning material so I can take note in document. It
can save and find easily when I need to review the lesson . Furthermore, it is very
convenient for me to bring when I go to school .
Next I will explain reason why I don't opt paper and pen because it easily loose if I don’t arrange
well .

All thing considered, I'd go for phone and laptop for the above reasons
Which pet should you have in your new home: a cat, a dog, a bird, and why? Why not?
In my opinion, the most suitable pet for my new home would be a dog.
Firstly, dogs are incredibly loyal and devoted companions. This loyalty can be immensely
comforting, especially in a new environment. Dogs often become like family members,
providing not only companionship but also a sense of security.
Owning a dog encourages daily exercise in the form of walks and playtime. This can be
highly beneficial for both the dog and its owner, contributing to a healthier and more active
lifestyle.
In my new home, if there are outdoor spaces available, I believe having a dog would be a
perfect match to make the most of those areas.
While cats can also be affectionate and low-maintenance, they don't typically provide the same
level of companionship and loyalty that dogs offer.
Birds may be visually appealing and have pleasant songs, but they lack the interactive nature
and physical closeness that dogs can provide.
For all reasons l put above, I'll choose a dog as my ideal pet for my new home because of their
loyalty, companionship, security, and the opportunities they provide for physical activity and
recreation.

games with friends, immitate friends
More and more children tell a lie without blinking an eye. There are some reason why they are
confident in telling a lie.
The first reason is lacking out of parental's support. In the modern society , fathers and
mothers have to work from early mornings to late evenings to support the finance. They
want their children can live in a good condition. It is the reason why they do not have time
to stay at home to know what their children doing or watching.
Secondly, children spend most of their time to play games online since parents do not at
home. While playing, they have opportunities to commuincate with many children and it is
easy for them to immitate bad habits such as using violent words or how to tell a lie that
parents do not know.
Last but not least is friends. Friends can help them to be better people but also to become
bad ones.

- In a happy marriage, working together like a team is very important. This means talking to
each other, making decisions together, managing moneyy as a team, and helping each other with
their careers to make the partnership strong and successful.

gender roles.

help, and emotional support. These responsibilities can change as kids grow.
