ĐỀ 1: DISCUSS THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF SMARTPHONES ON CHILDREN AND

SUGGEST SOME POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

In today's globalized digital world, smartphones are indispensable items of every person. The
utility of smartphones cannot be debated, even children have access to them from an early age, which
also has negative effects on them. This essay will point out the bad effects of smartphones on children
and offer some solutions.
The first will be the adverse health effects. It is easy to see that the first thing affected is the
eyes. And the main cause is using too many technological devices such as TVs, smartphones, ... for a
long time. Besides, the fact that children are engrossed in using smartphones will gradually make
children tend to be lazy and do not want to participate in outdoor activities. Because young children
are at a critical developmental stage and if they are not active, their health may deteriorate and they
will become frail, this is very concerning. Worse is the effect on leaming, many cases of children
because they are so immersed in video games that they neglect their studies, their grades go down day
by day.
So how to get children out of this situation is a question that is of great interest to parents.
According to many experts, parents should set limits on the time they use electronic devices so that
their children have enough time to rest their eyes.
Encourage children to go out to participate in outdoor sports activities to improve their health as well
as to be able to communicate and have fun with friends.
In conclusion, smartphones are like is a two-edged sword, so their use by children needs the
smart management of parents and keeping things in proportion go a long way toward safeguarding
children's well-being and instilling healthy behavioral habits in them.

ĐỀ 2: WRITE AN ESSAY TO AN EDUCATED READER TO DISCUSS THE CAUSE OF
SCHOOL VIOLENCE AND SUGGEST POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS.
I think, the phenomenon of school violence is not a new phenomenon, it is a recent phenomenon, but
recently this phenomenon has occurred more frequently in schools. Demonstrates more dangerous and
serious nature.
What is worrying is that the causes of violence are sometimes very simple, such as collisions while
playing, on the way to school, conflicts, and bad-mouthing each other on forums and social networks.
In addition, school violence also comes from the psychological effects of children's puberty and the
influence of family and society.
School violence causes serious consequences not only physically but also mentally. Worse still, many
violent incidents have claimed the lives of innocent students, leaving disadvantages and pain not only
physically but also mentally for students and their families. Students who experience violence,
especially mental and verbal violence, often feel hurt, depressed, anxious, lonely, depressed... Fear or
phobia leads to depression and anxiety. social fear. This condition can even last a lifetime. They don't
dare go out to play or go to school, and can't concentrate on their studies.
Therefore, we need to organize schoolyard activities and volunteer activities towards goodwill,
personality orientation for students, and help students develop good qualities in themselves. Organize
life skills education and moral education subjects for students in schools. There are strict and
appropriate punishments and forms of education for students who commit violent acts, and timely
support for victims of violence. Families need to support schools in the process of educating students
on ethics.
School violence is not an individual problem, it is a problem of the entire society. Therefore, everyone
needs to join hands to prevent school violence.
ĐỀ 3: DISCUSS THE ADVANTAGES AND DISAVANTAGES OF ONLINE SHOPPING.
Online shopping has gained popularity among the general population in recent years. Some people
think that ordering online is convenient because it saves time as well as money. However, on the
contrary, others say that the lack of rigor in online shopping can cause a lot of frustration. In the
following essay, both pros and cons of online shopping will be analyzed in more detail.
On the one hand, online shopping brings in more benefits than in-store shopping.
Firstly, it saves time for both buyers and sellers as buyers do not have to travel and sellers need not
show their goods one by one to every consumer. Further, they can get a perfect knock-off on the
prices and easily compare the products before hitting the purchase button. In this manner, people can
make more sensible decisions after evaluating and considering the price, size, and models. Moreover,
it enables them to shop easily from any part of the world.
On the other hand, shopping online does not enable to touch or see the product, in reality, making it
hard to examine the quality of the product resulting in purchasing the product of poor quality and
sometimes impossible to return or exchange the product, which in turn leads to squandering the
money. Furthermore, there is always a risk of getting financial information to be exploited by hackers
for security reasons as there is always news of data breaches even from renowned brands and sites.
In conclusion, I would say that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages of online shopping. Still,
one must be careful of fraud and misrepresentation while buying from different websites.

ĐỀ 4: NOWADAYS, COMPUTERS HAVE MADE LIFE EASIER AND MORA
CONVENIENT. OTHER PEOPLE THINK THAT COMPUTERS HAVE MADE LIFE MORE
COMPLEX AND STRESSFUL. WHAT IS YOUR OPINION?
Nowadays, computers are becoming an important part in human's lives. While I would argue that they
have some disadvantages, I believe that the upsides would be far more significant.
There are several reasons why computers can have a negative effect on humans. Firstly, if people
use computers too much, it is a waste of time. In fact, when students spend all day playing games or
chatting online, they will have no time for study, leading to bad learning results. Secondly, sharing
personal information on computers does have risks. It means that when users share too much inform
like phone number, address, or credit card number, they can give hackers a chance to steal information
with the aim of identity thief or financial attack
However, the benefits that computers bring to humans would be much more considered. The main
advantage of computers is that people use them as a tool of entertainment. In fact, thanks to
computers, users have a chance to listen to music, watch movies whenever they want, which helps
them unwind after a busy time of work. Another advantage of computers is that they have made our
life easier and more convenient. For example, instead of going out to buy items or send letters, people
just stay at home shopping online or sending emails in a few seconds.
In conclusion, it seems that computers have more advantages than disadvantages. By considering pros
and cons, people will know how to use computers effectively.

ĐỀ 5: MANY STUDENTS DECIDE TO FURTHER THEIR STUDY ABROAD. WHAT ARE

THE BENEFITS AND DRAWBACKS OF STUDYING ABROAD?
Nowadays, many students decide to further their study abroad. While I would argue
that studying abroad has some advantages, I believe it this trend also has some disadvantages
On the one hand, there are several reasons why studying abroad can bring a positive effect on
students. The first. many students travel abroad to study at a top university. In fact, they can gain a
valuable qualification, which can help them open the door for better job opportunities in the future.
The second, young people can widen their understanding and meet up with many people from all
nations in the world. Therefore, they have a chance to make more friends and discover new horizons
On the other hand, the drawbacks that studying abroad brings to students would be considered. Firstly,
studying abroad means that students have to live far away from their family and friends. In fact, they
may feel homesick, lonely and their life may be boring in some cases. Secondly, they can face
language barriers and culture shocks. To be more specific, students find it hard in communicating with
local people.
In conclusion, it seems to me that studying overseas has both advantages and disadvantages. By
considering pros and cons, students will make the best decisions on their own.

ĐỀ 6: WHEN STUDENTS FINISH SCHOOL, THEY FIND THEMSELVES IN AN
EMBARRASSING SITUATION OF WHETHER TO GET A JOB OR CONTINUE THEIR
EDUCATION?
Nowadays, whether students should pursue higher education or find a job after graduation is
debatable. Some of them say that postgraduate study-is important for students, but I personally think
that entering the workforce should be much more considered.
There are many reasons why students should continue their education. Firstly, it is the main factor for
students to broaden their knowledge with the aim of better salary in the future. For example,
occupations in the fields of business, finance and sales lead to the highest wage premiums for
employees with a master's degree. Secondly, students will have a chance to enhance their soft skills. It
means that when they return to school, they can learn a lot of skills like communication, teamwork,
which can give them the experience to be prepared and equipped to take that next step toward
achieving their goals.
However, I believe that entering the workforce should be much more considered. The first, joining the
workforce gives students an early start in climbing the corporate ladder. They will begin to acquire
professional skills and experience that might be beneficial to their career later on, and they will gain
this sooner than people who spending two years or more getting a master's degree. The second, having
a postgraduate degree does not mean having a well-paid job in the future. In fact, in working placc.
experience and practical skills are more important than a qualification.
In conclusion, whether students choose to study or get a job is not as important as their goals in the
future. By considering both views, students can make the best decision for them.

 ĐỀ 7: SOME PARENTS THINK THAT THEIR CHILDREN WITH HOMEWORK IS
BOTH OTHERS THINK CHILDRE THINK THAT HELPING THEIR CHICK ON
THEIR OWN. DISCUSS BOTH VIEWS AND GIVE YOUR OPINION.
Opinions differ as to whether parents should help children with their homework or not.In my opinias
to whether should chiefits of helping children with homework, I would while there are some content
more from doing their homework on their own
On the one hand, there are some certain benefits of helping children with homework. First and
foremost, some certain benefits difficult for them to do by themselves. As a matter of fact, students
can not finish their homework without the help. The second, helping children with their homework
can give parents a chance to understand their children strengths and weaknesses. As a result, they can
give the best guidance for their children to learn better every day.
On the other hand, I would argue that children will benefit more from doing their homework on the
own. Firstly, if parent always give them a hand, they will become lažier and more dependent. To be
more specific, when there is no one to teach them at home, they hardly finish their homework in time.
Secondly, doing homework themselves is a good chance for children to improve their independence
and practical skills. In fact, they have to learn how to solve problems, which is really good for their
future In conclusion, for the reasons mentioned above, it seems to me that it is much better for
children if children should do their homework on their own
Opinions differ as to whether university students should be optional or required to attend classes. In
my opinion, while there are some certain benefits of being optional for students, I would argue that
students will benefit more from going to school regularly.
On the one hand, there are several reasons why going to school is optional.for students. Firstly,
university students are really adults. As a result, if they find it unnecessary to go to school, they could
stay at home and do some more important things. Secondly, self-study is another reason why students
do not want to school. In fact, with the material available on the internet or in the library, the students
can leam by themselves without attending class. Moreover, in university education, people often focus
on results rather than process.
However, I believe going to classes would be much more considered. The first, teachers can teach
students a lot of things that cannot be obtained from books. Since some professors believe that books
cannot provide enough information for students to understand, they will give them more examples and
materiats. The second, by attending the classes, students have more chance to make friends and widen
theie relationships. It means that they will have more friends and improve their communication skills.
In conclusion, I think students should go to classes because of those reasons. By considering both
views, students can make the best decisions for them.

 ĐỀ 8: SOCIAL MEDIA IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY POPULAR AMONGST ALL
AGE GROUPS.HOWEVER, SHARING PERSONAL INFORMATION ON SOCIAL
MEDIA WEBSITES DOES HAVE RISKS. DO YOU THINK THAT THE ADVANTAGES
OF SOCIAL MEDIA OUTWEIGH THE DISADVANTAGES?
In recent decades, social networks play an important role for both individuals and society. While I
would argue that they have some drawbacks, I believe the upsides would be far more significant.
There are several reasons why social media can bring a negative effect to people. The first, if people
use these websites too much, it is a waste of time. In fact, when students spend all day using Facebook
or YouTube, they have no time to do their homework, which can affect their learning. The second,
sharing personal information on social media websites does have risks. It means that when people
share some information like phone number, address or credit card number, they can give hackers a
chance to steal the data with the aim of financial attack.
However, the benefits that social networks bring to humans would be much more considered. Firstly,
people use such websites, Facebook, You Tube, Instagram, as a tool of entertainment. To be more
specific, users can listen to music, watch movies whenever or wherever they want, which helps them
relax after a busy time of work. Secondly, thanks to social media, people in over the world can keep in
touch with each other every day. For example, they can call or share photos about their daily lives in
conciusion, it seeins to me that social netwoiks have more advaniages than disadvantages. By
corsidering pros and cons, users will know how to use them effectively.
ĐỀ 9: THE U.S CENCUS REPORTS THAT THE SINGLE CHILD FAMILY IS THE FASTEST
GROWING FAMFLY UNITS FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS. SUPPORTERS OF LARGE
FAMILIES CLAIM THE ONLY CHILD WILL BE SPOILED LONELY AND SELFISH.
HOWEVER, THOSE WHO ARE IN FAVOR OF THE ONLY CHILD FAMILY THINK THAT
THEIR CHILDREN ARE MORE MATURE AND INDEPENDENT. BECAUSE THEY HAVE
TO PROTECT THEMSELVES. WRITE AN ESSAY ABOUT THE ADVANTAGES AND
DISADVANTAGES OF BEING AN ONLY CHILD IN THE FAMILY
Many people think that the single child family is the fastest growing family units for the last 20 ye
think that the single child than studying abroad has some advantages, I would believe it also has some
disadvantages:
On the one hand, there are several reasons why being the only child has a positive effect on children,
the first, being the only child means that the children will get undivided love and audiri, bengher
parents. In fact, their parents will spend all money or all time on themion oake sure they have the best
life. the second, the only child family think that thei tohildren sure more mature and independent
because they have to protect themselves. For example, no one can teach them or help them at school,
so they have to solve any problems by themselves.
On the other hand, the drawbacks that being the only child in a family would be considered. Firstly,
the only child sometimes is very spoiled and selfish. To be more specific, that child is used to thinking
that he is the most important person so he must have everything only for himself, leading to some
wrong behavior. Secondly. the only child sometimes feels lonely. It means that he has no siblings to
talk to or share with, which makes his life more boring.
In conclusion, it seems that being the only child has both advantages and disadvantages. By
considering pros and cons, young couples will decide to have only one or more than one child.

 ĐỀ 10: SOME UNIVERSITIES REQUIRE STUDENTS TO TAKE CLASSES IN MANY
SUBJECTS. OTHER UNIVERSITIES REQUIRE STUDENTS TO SPECIALIZE IN ONE
SUBJECT. WHICH ONE IS BETTER?
Nowadays, many students wonder whether they should specialize in one subject. While I would argue
that studying only one major may be important for students. I believe it would be much better for
them to take classes in many subjects.
On the one hand, there are several reasons why students should learn one subject. The first, they can
save a lot of time. In fact, when students focus on only one major, they will have more time to finish
their homework and assignments in a save a huge amount of money. Clearly, everything will cost a lot
of money like books, materials so that if they work on one subject, they can save much money for
their families.
On the other hand, I believe that attending many subjects would be much more considered. Firstly, by
learning many subjects, students can gain a lot of knowledge and widen their understanding about
many different fields. For example, pupils who study science also understand about art or music.
Secondly, students who graduated with many courses are likely to have better career in the future. In
fact, when they work in various kinds of fields, they can select the most suitable job that they prefer.
In conclusion, I understand why students would prefer to attend only one subject. However, it seems
to me that studying many subjects is much better for them.
ĐỀ 11: SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT STUDYING AT UNIVERSITY OR COLLEGE IS
THE BEST ROUTE TO A SUCCESSFUL CAREER WHILE OTHERS BELIEVE THAT IT IS
BETTER TO GET A JOB STRAIGHT AFTER SCHOOL, DISCUSS AND GIVE YOUR OWN
OPINION
Opinion differ as to whether university students should get a job or continue their education. in my
opinion, while there are certain benefits of getting a job, I would argue that they will benefit more
from going to college or university.
On the one hand, there are some certain bnefits of getting a job. first and foremost, many young
people want to earn money as soon as possible. in fact, many of them start work in the early age. as a
result, they can become more independent and they will be able to afford their own house, their own
car to start a new family. the second, they can have a chance to get more experience and learn more
practical skills. this may lead to the promotions a successful career in their future.
On the other hand, I would argue that they will benefit more from going to college or university.
firstly, they can get some qualifications which are suitable for their majors after leaving school. for
example, it is impossible for students to become a teacher, a doctor or a lawyer without having a
relevant degree. secondly, the job market is becoming more and more competitive. in fact, there are
sometimes hundreds of applicants for only one position in a company. as a result, young people who
do not have qualitications from a university or a colllege apply for it.
In conclusion, for the reasons mentioned above, it seems to me that it is much better for university
students if they pursue higher education

 ĐỀ 12: IN SOME COUNTRIES, YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE LITTLE LEISURE TIME AND
ARE UNDER A LOT OF PRESSURE TO WORK HARD FOR THEIR STUDY. WHAT DO
YOU THINK THE CAUSES AND WHAT SOLUTIONS CAN YOU SUGGEST?
It is true that in some countries, young people have little leisure time and are under a lot of pressure to
work hard for their study. Although this problem is caused by a whole host of reasons, some solutions
should be considered to tackle this issue.
There are several reasons why young people spend most of their time studying hard and have less free
time for themselves. The first, almost all parents have great expectations for their children's future.
For example, in some cities in Vietnam, many parents take their kids to extra-classes in the evening
after school. The second, the labor market is becoming more and more competitive. It means that
students have to work really hard with the aim of better job opportunities and brighter future.
However, some measures should be considered to solve this problem. Firstly, parents should not put
too much pressure on their children. Instead, students should arrange their own study plans, which
helps them manage their time to balance their study and free activities. Secondly, schools should
reduce the number of tests and exams to reduce pressure on students. For example, there is no test and
exam for students in Finland, so they have a chance to take part in more social activities.
In conclusion, 2 main reasons are cited as the causes of this problem. I think parenis and schools
should join hands to tackle this issue as soon as possible.
ĐỀ 13: A RECENT SURVEY SHOWS THAT SOME PARENTS SPEND LESS TIME
HELPING THEIR CHILDREN WITH HOMEWORK. DO YOU AGREE OR DISAGREE?
A recent survey shows that some parents spend less time helping their children with homework. And I
partly agree with this statement for many reasons.
On the one hand, there are several reasons why parents should help thei children with homework. The
first, some homework is too much difficult for students to do by themselves. In fact, without the help,
they cannot finish their homework and can lose marks in the future exams. The second, helping
children with homework means that it can provide a chance for parents to evaluate their kids'
progress. Therefore, they can give the best guidance for their children to learn better at school.
On the other hand, I understand why parents spend less time helping their children with homework.
Firstly, if parents always give them a hand, they will become lazier and more dependent. To be more
specific, when there is no one to help and teach them at home, they will not finish their task.
Secondly, doing homework by themselves can improve their independence and teamwork skills
among students. It eans that children will know how to solve their problems and learn with their
friends at school.
In conclusion, spending time helping children with homework has both pros and cons. By considering
both views, parents will decide how much time to spend on their kids' tasks.

ĐỀ 14: IN SOME COUNTRIES AN INCREASING NUMBER OF PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING
FROM HEALTH PROBIEMS AS A RESULT OF EATING TOO MUCH FAST FOOD. IT IS
THEREFORE NECESSARY FOR GOVERNMENT TO IMPOSE A HIGHER TAX ON THIS
KIND OF FOOD. TO WHAT EXTENT DO YOU AGREE OR DISAGREE WITH THIS
STATEMENT?

It is true that in some parts of the world, an increasing number of people are suffering from health
issues as a result of consuming too much junk food. Therefore, I strongly agree with the statement the
government should impose a higher tax on this kind of food.
First of all, I think a higher tax should be imposed on fast food because the health of the people is
important to the development of the country. For example, if a person has his daily meals with the
consumption of fast food, he is likely to face health problems such as obesity or high blood pre
pressure and so on, which makes him work ineffectively.
Secondly, I also believe that increasing taxes would raise prices and lower the consumption. In fact,
when it is too expensive for people to buy this kind of food, only a small percentage of the population
could afford it. Therefore, they will spend more time cooking meals at home. which is much cheaper
and better for their health. Finally, in addition to imposing a higher tax on fast food, I think the
govemment should limit the time of fast food advertisements on social networks.
In conclusion, I agree that with the higher taxes imposed on fast food, the number of people
consuming fast food will decrease and the health of people will be enhanced. However, to solve the
problem effectively, the government should take action by changing the time of advertisements on
television.

ĐỀ 15: MANY PEOPLE THINK THAT SCIENTIFIC TECHNOLOGY CAN BRING

HAPPINESS TO HUMANS. WHAT OPINION? DO YOUR YOU AGREE DISAGREE?

The devolopment of technology in the last decade of 20th century has had an important effect on
human's lives. Althought it is not without disadvantages, the upsides would be far more significant.
There are many several why social media can bring a negative effect to people. Firstly, if users spent
too much time using technology, it is a waste of time. To be more specific, when students spend all
day playing games or chatting online, they will have no time to do their homework, leading to worse
learning results. Secondly, sharing peronal information on technological advances does have risks. It
means that when users share too much information like phone number, address or credit card number,
they can give hackers the information required for identily theft or financial attack.
However, the benefits that scientific technology to humans would be much more considered. The first,
people use computers as a tool of entertainment. In fact, they can listen to music, watch movies or
update a lot of information thanks to computers which helps them unwind after a busy time of work.
The second, it is believed that technology have made life easier and more convenient. For example,
instead of going out, people can stay at home to shop online or send emails with a click of mouse.
In conclusion, it seems that technology have more advantages than disadvantages. By considering
pros and cons, users will know how to use them effectively.

ĐỀ 16: SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE THE AIM OF UNIVERSITY EDUCATION IS TO HELP
GRADUATES GET BETTER JÖBS. OTHERS BELIEVE THERE ARE MUCH WIDER
BENEFITS OF UNIVERSITY EDUCATION FOR BOTH INDIVIDUALS AND SOCIETY.
DISCUSS, BOTH VIEWS AND GIVE YOUR OPINION.
These days, more and more people are making the choice to go to university. While some people
believe that the only purpose of a university education is to improve job prospects, others think that
society and the individuals benefit in much broader ways.
On the one hand, one of the main aims of university is to secure a better job. It is obvious that
university education provides students with useful information which is necessary for their future jobs
in different fields. Knowledge gained during university attendance is of great value to graduates after
leaving university. Another reason is that in the knowledge-based economy, employers seem to
appreciate those with higher education. As a result, graduates seem to be more attractive to potential
recruiters than others who do not.
However, there are other benefits for individuals and society. Firstly, the independence of living away
from home is a pro because it helps the students develop better social skills and improve as a person.
Another merit is that many students will have to leave their families, live in halls of residence and
meet new friends. As a result, they become more mature and confident, which enables them to live
more fulfilling lives. Secondly, society will gain from the contribution that the graduates can make to
the economy. We are living in a very competitive world, so countries need educated people in order to
compete and prosper.
In conclusion, I believe that although a main aim of university education is to get the best job, there
are clearly further benefits. If we continue to promote and encourage university attendance, it will
lead to a better future for individuals and society.

DE 17: NOWADAYS AN INCREASING NUMBER OF VIETNAMESE STUDENTS STUDY IN
A FOREIGN COUNTRY. WHILE STUDYING ABROAD IS CONSIDERED A LIFE-
TRANSFORMING OPPORTUNITY FOR MANY STUDENTS, THERE ARE NUMEROUS
CHALLENGES AWAITING THEM. WHAT ARE YOUR VIEWS ON THIS?
Today a big number of Vietnamese students choose to study abroad. While I accept that overseas
courses change students' life in the future for the better, I also believe that students have to face up
with a variety of obstacies.
On the one hand, studying abroad helps students have a better life in the future. It is true that foreign
countries often offer better courses than those in their homeland. As a result, students are able to
obtain foreign degrees which allow them to seek for better employment opportunities in the upcoming
time. A well-paid job will ensure a higher standard of living. Another reason is that when students
learn in another country, they can be more independent. Because they live on their own, they have to
learn how to do everything by themselves, for example, doing housework or managing their time and
money and so on. Therefore, they will become more mature and have more chances to lead a
successful life later. Finally, studying in another country enables learners to study a foreign language,
which might aid them to find a job with higher salary in a foreign company.
On the other hand, I also support the view that overseas students usually encounter plenty of
difficulties. The first disadvantage is that living alone in an unfamiliar culture can cause
homesickness. Some students might miss their families so much that it can badly affect their study.
Moreover, learning a foreign language can be a challenge to many students and culture shock is a
common problem, too. However, this can be solved if students are well prepared in advance, for
example, taking an English course to master the target language and collecting as much information
as possible about the destination country.
All in all, it can be clearly seen that the pros of studying abroad outweigh the cons. Provided that
students expect difficulties and overcome them, they can succeed innthe future.
DÈ 18: SMOKING
Nowadays, smoking is becoming more common in all nations in the world. Many people say that
Tobacco companies should be shut down and I totally agree with that ideas for the following reasons.
First and foremost, smoking is seriously bad health. Recent studied have shown that a cigarette
contains over 7000 chemicals which are really dangerous for people's health. In fact smoker stast
coughing, reducing fitness and lung function. They can suffer many diseases such as lung cancer, liver
cancer, heart diseases which will shorter longevity not only smoker but also second hand smoker.
In addition, smoking can a negative effect on smoker's budget. Every year, they have to spend a lot of
money which is a waste of money. Instead, they should pay for food, health care on eclucation.
Last but not least, smoking can pollute the environment. In fact, the waste from tobacco companies
cap dirty the water. The smoke travelling in to the air can pollute the atmosphere which is harmful to
the surrounding and live things.
In conclusion, smoking seem to have a lot of bad effect. By considering consequences, government
should find the best way to reduce it's consumption and production.

DE 19. TODAY DIFFERENT TYPES OF ROBOTS ARE DEVELOPED WHICH ARE GOOD
FRIEND TO US AND HELY DIFFERENT TYPES OF ROBOD WORK. IS THIS A POSITIVE
OR NEGATIVE DEVELOPMENT. IN THE LIGHT OF MODERN TECHNOLOGICAL
ADVANCEMENTS, IT IS TRUE THAT NUMEROUS KINDS OF ROBOTIC MACHINES
ARE DEVELOPED TO SUPPORT PEOPLE NOT ONLY AT HOME BUT ALSO AT WORK.
(ROBOT)

In this essay, I am going to pinpoint both benefits and drawbacks of this tendency before concluding
how it is ultimately positive.
On the one hand, the shortcomings associated with the popularity of robots are indeed definite. First
and foremos, as people are likely to be too dependent on robots, they are becoming lazier. In other
words, they hardly spend their free time doing any housework, leading to passive lifestyle. An added
drawback would be mentioned is that the employment rate will be on the rise. Clearly, robots can be
in charge of any tasks, so workers are left out of work, which can have an adverse effect on the living
standard of people.
On the other, notwithstanding the aforementioned demerits, I am convinced that the merits of the
prevalence of robotic technologies are more significant. The first advantageous point is that can boots
the product processes in any domains in life such as export and import. America is a telling example.
Thanks to the advent of IA, America becomes the biggest economic power in the world. An argument
supporting this idea that robotic machines could help people to work in any dangerous or toxic
environment. For example, such machines can be launched into universe to collect a number of photos
on other planets, which can help scientists find another life in the not-too-far future.
With the support of robotic machines, people can save a huge amount of time. In lieu of spending too
much time doing housework, they could allocate their leisure time into educating their offspring.
In conclusion, while the ubiquity of robots in various facets of life is not without certain setbacks, i'm
of the opinion that they are outweighed by the proposed advantages. (bê nguyên với lợi nhiều hơn)

ĐỀ 20: SOME PEOPLE SAY FREE TIME ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN SHOULD BE
ORGANIZED (BY PARENTS). OTHERS SAY THAT CHILDREN SHOULD BE FREE TO
CHOOSE WHAT THEY DO IN THEIR FREE TIME. DISCUSS BOTH VIEWS AND GIVE
YOUR OPINION
It is true that leisure time activities play a very important role in the chidhood of each individual.
While a school of thought holds that free time activities for children should be organized by parents,
another claims that children should be free to
choose what they do in their free time. Personally, I side with the latter view.
On the one hand, it is seemingly understandable why many people advocate the idea that free time
activities for children should be organized by parents. Without parental supervision, youngsters could
be in danger. For example, Vietnamese youngsters are an average example. Children who stay in rural
areas, like to move swimming in lakes and ponds, regularly drown because of loss of parental
supervision. So that is the principle motive why parental presence is necessary
On the other hand, I'm of opinion that children should be free to choose what they do in their free
time. Because every toddler has their personal preferences. If mother and father prepare their personal
extracurricular sports for those youngsters, a variety of them experience uncomfortable. A look at has
proven that youngsters have a tendency to be happier and greater cushty while they could select the
video garnes they want. For example, it isn't uncommon for a boy to play with a doll.
In conclusion, while there are some viable justifications to support the view that free time activities
for children should be organized by parents, I'm convinced by the opinion that children should be free
to choose what they do in their free time.
ĐỀ 21: SOME UNIVERSITIES REQUIRE STUDENTS TO TAKE CLASSES IN MANY
SUBJECTS. OTHER UNIVERSITIES REQUIRE STUDENTS TO SPECIALIZE IN ONE
SUBJECT. WHICH ONE IS BETTER?
It is sometimes argued by some people that university students should take classes in many subjects,
while others believe that they had better specialize in one subject. There is indeed a strong case to be
made for both sides of the debate, which will be discussed in this essay.
It is seemingly understandable as to why one might argue that university students had better specialize
in one subject. the key reason for this is focusing on only one are can give theim a chance to save a
huge amount of money. In actually, they have to spend a lot of money on materials or study
equipment, so studying one subject. can help them to reduce the amount of money spent on these
things. Another argument supporting this idea is that these students can save a lot of time. Clearly,
studying one subject will take them only 4 years compared to 5 or even 6 years if they study 2
different majors.
Irrespective of the aforementioned line of reasoning, I am of the opinion that university students
should take classes in many subjects. This is because of the fact. that studying different subjects will
surely provide students with a treasure of knowledge of various fields. For example, a student
majoring in Maths will also learn history, which can help him widen their understanding about not
only his major but also historical events of the country. Additionally, as the labor market has been
more competitive nowadays, knowing many subjects can help these people have several joh choices.
As a result, he will have better job opportunities after. graduation.

In summary, while there are some sufficient justifications to support the view that university students
should center on one subject, it is my firm conviction that they should take classes in many subjects.

ĐỀ 22. IN SOME COUNTRIES, YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE LITTLE LEISURE TIME AND
ARE UNDER A LOT OF PRESSURE TO WORK HARD FOR THEIR STUDY.
What do you think the causes and what solutions can you suggest?
There is no denying the fact that in some parts of the world, youngsters hardly have free time and they
are stressful-exhausted because of working too hard for study. This problem can be attributed to
several factors, and this essay will suggest some viable solutions to address this issue.
It is seemingly understandable why a number of students have to suffer from stress and pressure
owing to their study. To begin with, due to their parent's expectations, a lot of couples put too much
pressure on children with the aim of their children getting high academic performance at school.
Vietnam is a case in point. Clearly. after school, children are sent to some centers to study maths,
English in the evening. It is easy to understand why a huge number of Vietnamese students have no
time for refreshment and outdoor activities, which can cause children to be stressful.
This problem can be tackled in a number of different ways. The first remedy for this situation is that
parents should not put too much pressure on children. Instead, they had better give children a chance
to arrange their own timetable and schedule. Thus, such children are likely to spend more time for
extracurricular activities. They surely will get a sense of enjoyment and comfort, which helps them to
live their life happily. As a result, they will have a happy life and are interested in their study.
In summary, the main reason for this problem comes from parents' expectations, but I believe that this
issue would be well-addressed if the proposal solution is implemented.
ĐỀ 23. YOU SHOULD SPEND ABOUT 40 MINUTES ON THIS TASK. WRITE ABOUT THE FOLLOWING
TOPICNOWADAYS MANY PEOPLE HAVE ACCESS TO COMPUTERS ON A WIDE BASIS AND A LARGE
NUMBER OF CHILDREN PLAY COMPUTER GAMES. WHAT ARE THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE
IMPACTS OF PLAYING COMPUTER GAMES? GIVE REASONS FOR YOUR ANSWER AND INCLUDE ANY
RELEVANT EXAMPLES FROM YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE.
These days, children playing computer games has been increasingly popular all over the world. While
some people hold the opinion that playing computers game could benefit children in some dfferent
ways I would contend that its drawbacks should not be overlooked
On the one hand, It is seemingly understandable why some people advocate the idea that playing
computer games exerts a profound influence on children. One of the significant advantages of purving
computer games is that IT improves the concentration and attention levels of a child to a greater
extent. Such children must have some extraordinary attentive skills, where it is also applicable to daily
life Another argument supporting this view is that playing games is one of the most engaging ways to
make children happy. They can unwind after long studying hours by playing some games on the
computer, which helps children have more comfort and happiness In.
Notwithstanding the aforementioned merits, I am corvinced that the negative impacts of children
playing games should also be taken into consideration. The first drawback of this is that if children
spent more than 5 hours playing computer games, they could put their academic performance in
danger, leading to a serious effect on children's career later on. An added disadvantageous point is that
chiidren may suffer from many bad diseases such as headache, even obesity or deperssion because of
sitting in front of the comuputer screens for too long In particular, children's eyes arre seriously
affected bay myopia- or shortsightedness
In conclusion, it is undeniable that playing computer games could bring certain benefits on children,
but its negative impacts could be taken into account.

ĐỀ 24: SOCIAL MEDIA IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY POPULAR AMONGST ALL AGE
GROUPS. HOWEVER, SKARING PERSONAL INFORMATION ON SOCIAL MEDIA
WEBSITES DOES HAVE RISKS. DO YOU THINK THAT THE ADVANTAGES OF SOCIAL
MEDIA OUTWEIGH THE DISADVANTAGES?
In the light of technological advancements, social networks play an important role for both individuals
and society. It is recognized that albeit having several demerits, they are outweighed by merits which
will be outlined in this essay.
On the one hand, the negative impacts of this phenomenon to internet users should be taken into
consideration. Chief of these is that if spending a huge amount of time on social media is actually
time-consuming. In actual fact, when students spend all day using Facebook or YouTube, They have
no time for their homework, which can affect seriously their learning and their academic performance.
Another drawback would be mentioned is that sharing personal information on social media websites
dues have rista. It means that when people share some information like phone mamber, address or
credit cord number, they can give hackers a chance to steal the data with the aim of financial attack
Regardless, I am of the opinion that social media could indeed bring numerous advantages to people.
the first advantageous point is using such websites, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram can be considered
as a way for entertainment and refreshment after exhausting hours at work or school. for example,
users can refresh themselves by listening to music, watching movies online whenever or wherever
they want. An added benefit of this is that thanks to the popularity of social media, people from all
walks of life can keep in touch with each other every day, regardless geographical barriers. For
example, they can call or share photos about their daily lives to their family members or friends who
are living in another country
In summary, it is irrefutable that using social media can have an adverse effect on people, but I am of
the opinion that it is a welcomed trend thanks to the corvenience and usefulness.
ĐỀ 25: A RECENT SURVEY SHOWS THAT SOME PARENTS SPEND LESS TIME
HEIPING THEIR CHILDREN WITH HOMEWORK. DO YOU AGREE OR DISAGREE
There is an opinion that some parents spare less time to help their children with homework And I
partly agree with this statement for many reasons. It is seemingly understandable as to why one might
argue that teachers should not give children a lot of homework. The key reason is the young learners
are too busy all day with other activities at school, so pupils feel tired and exhausted As a result,
students need rest at home. Additionally, if school children have to do their homework at home, it is
likely that they may be stressful or may commit suicide. For example, recent news has shown that a
14-year-old boy in Hanoi killed himself due to having to do too much homework. This is a warning
alarm for millions of teachers and parents in over the world
Irrespective of the aforementioned line of reasoning, I am of the opinion that doing homework is
important for children's development. To be more specific, Doing homework could help learners
remember the knowledge that they have learned more easily. For example, by doing mathematics
exercises at home, students can understand the structures that they have been taught at school.
Another reason supporting this idea is it is also a useful method for students to develop the
independence in learning. This will build a lot of good traits for children when they grow up later on
In conclusion, spending time helping children with homework has both pros and cons. By considering
both views, parents will decide how much time to spend on their kids' tasks.

ĐỀ 26: WHEN STUDENTS FINISH SCHOOL, THEY FIND THEMSELVES IN AN
EMBARRASSING SITUATION OF WHETHER TO GET A JOB OR CONTINUE THEIR
EDUCATION?
In today's modern society, people have different opinions whether students should pursue higher
education or find a job after graduation. While a school of thought holds that it is vital for students to
continue their study, I firmly think that entering the workforce should not be marginalized.
On the one hand, it is seemingly understandable as to why students should continue their education.
Chief of these is it is the key factor for students to broaden their knowledge with the aim of better
salary later on. For example, occupations in the fields of business, finance and sales lead to the
highest wage premiums for employees with a master's degree. Another reason could be mentioned is
that these people will have a chance to enhance their soft skills. It means that when they return to
school, they can learn a lot of skills like communication, teamwork, which can give them the
experience to be prepared and equipped to take that next step toward achisving their goals.
Regardiess the oforementioned line reasoning, I an of the opinion that entering the workforte should
be much more considered. The key rationale in favor of this view is joining the workforce gives
students an early start in climbing the corporate ladder They will begin to acquire professional skills
and experience that might be beneficial to their career in the future, and they will gain this sooner than
people who spending two years or more getting a master's degree. Another argument supporting this
idea is that having a postgraduate degree does not mean having a well-paid job in the future. In fact, in
working place, experience and practical skills are far more important than a qualification.
In conclusion, whether students choose to study or get a job is not as important as their goals in the
future. By considering both views, students can make the best decision for them.
ĐỀ 27: DISCUSS WHERE YOU AGREE OR DISSGEREE WITH STATEMENT, TOO MANY
COMPETITIONS AT SCHOOL MIGHT CAUSE UNNECESSARY PRESSURE ON BOTH
TEACHERS AND STUDENTS.
I think, With an education that emphasizes achievement and grades, many students have to face
academic pressure and stress. In the long run, this state causes children to lose joy and excitement
when learning and at risk of having psychological and physical problems.
To reduce this situation, schools began organizing competitions for students, helping students relieve
psychological pressure.
And nowadays there are too many competitions being held at school. It causes students stress,
pressure leads to depression, etc. That goes against the purpose of organizing competitions.
Pressure is an indispensable factor in the learning process. Thanks to pressure, students will be
motivated and perform better in exams.
However, learning pressure only brings a positive impact if it only happens in a short time with a
moderate level. In the long run, pressure not only creates a feeling of boredom when studying, but
also has a significant impact on physical and mental health.
So I think school competitions if not really necessary should not be forced on students, I agree with
this opinion.

ĐỀ 28: DISCUSS THE CAUSE AND EFECTS OF AIR POLLUTION IN VIETNAM AND
SUGGEST SOME POSIBLE SOLUTION.
I think air pollution is a difficult problem for the world in general and Vietnam in particular.
Currently, Vietnam is suffering from serious air pollution. That has had a huge impact on human life
and the natural environment.
Basically, the causes of air pollution come from many sources. There are two main causes: man-made
and natural. Natural causes such as volcanic eruptions, forest fires, storms, decomposition of animal
carcasses or natural radiation, etc.
Human-caused causes such as agricultural production, transportation, deforestation, daily activities,
waste, toxins from war, etc.
Air pollution has consequences for animals, plants and humans. They are responsible for the deaths of
millions of people every year and serious diseases. And causes climate change globally.
Faced with increasingly serious air pollution, each of us needs to take action to protect our health as
well as the planet. To overcome air pollution we need to: Plant more trees, classify and treat waste,
limit the use of chemicals, use public transportation, improve living habits, not cut down forests and
save electricity...
ĐỀ 29: Competitions
In the modern age, there are many different ideas and methods about how children should be
raised and educated. I believe that a competitive spirit is essential to develop a young person's mind
and body. However, others contend that a more cooperative approach is best. This essay will discuss
this problem.
On the one hand, those who favor a competition-based approach to bringing up children would
argue that it brings out the best in youngsters. Children who compete must push beyond their own
limits and improve themselves. For example, a competitive sports day in primary school can help
them to try their best and be proud of their achievements. Moreover, it cannot be denied that a
competitive academic system enables children to understand their own strengths and weaknesses. In
other words, a competitive spirit as a child produces a stronger and more capable adult.
On the other hand, in highly competitive environments the mental and physical health of children
can often be affected. Some individuals think that excessive competition can be toxic and detrimental
because it puts pressure on kids to succeed. It can be stressful for kids to give their all during
competitions, whether it be a spelling bee or a football game, and this tension can lead to anxiety.
To sum up, although there a clear merits for both arguments, I believe that a competitive system
is best for children because it gives them the best possible chance of preparation for life in the real
world once they have left school.

 ĐE 30: E-LEARNING
In recent years, distance teaching and learning has become increasingly popular among the
students, and this trend is perceived differently by learners. Many students perceive this it as a
beneficial aid an improvement in
learning techniques, while others think that they are it is not as much effective as classroom
teaching learning. This essay will discuss about the merits and demerits of distant learning.
Studying in an online course provides a flexible timing and less expense learning for the
students. They are able to learn their desired course and subjects on their suitable time. This gives a
great opportunity for learners to gain new skills and accumulate their knowledge level, while still
staying in their own place. For instance, a Vietnamese student who wants an Australian degree in
business management course does not have to stay in Australia, because he can study online and
complete course by staying at his home. Hence, distant learning is economically efficient and time-
saving.
However, online courses give more emphasis on the theoretical part of learning and there is less
teacher-student interaction. It lacks the practical aspects of learning and encourages passive learning.
As a result, students find it as a less effective learning method than that of in the classroom. A recent
study suggests that a greater number of students found classroom teaching far more effective than the
distance learning teaching.
In conclusion, the ever growing availability of online learning has gained its popularity among
the young adults for many years, which is perceived as beneficial by many people while others find it
to be less effective.
