ESSAY
1. There are many women choosing to work at companies nowadays. Many believe
that girls and women should learn how to cook or do housework. Others argue that
women, especially girls, do not need to learn how to cook or do housework. Do
you agree or disagree with this idea?
2. Nowadays the tendency of giving birth late is more popular. Discuss the reasons
and impacts of this phenomenon. (sách 30 bộ đề có chi tiết)
In today’s modern life, Public transport becomes more and more popular. Some
people believe public transport has many advantages. However, others think that
it could also have negative effects. In my opinion, its cons could never
overshadow its pros. Discussed in the essay below will look at several benefits as
well as offer serious drawbacks of Public transport.
The main benefits of this include the followings. The most important benefit is
that people use public transport will help to preserve (protect) the environment.
This is because when people use public transport, It helps decrease toxic
emissions, smoke and dust from the big number of private transport on the road.
It is a great way to reduce air pollution and prevent many dangerous diseases,
especially, lung disease. Another good point is that It is a good solution to
reduce traffic jams and traffic accidents during rush hours. It means that there
are not too many vehicles on the road, which makes traveling more convenient.
Besides, It helps people save money. Take my brother as an example, he go to
school by bus every day. He just/only take about 10 thousand Vietnam dongs to
buy a bus ticket. It is very reasonable.
On the other hand, there are negative effects public transport can bring to
people’s lives. The most serious harm is that public transport provides users
with low-quality services. To show an example, Some buses are very old, the air
conditioning system does not work and seats are too dirty and not enough.
People feel hot and uncomfortable. Besides, using public transport can not be
safe for passenger. That is because pickpockets and thieves easily steal money
from the passenger. An additional bad point is that using public transport takes a
lot of time. For instance, people have to wait a long time at the bus stop. It often
does not arrive on time and moves very slowly. People may go to school or
work late. It can affect their study or work. These drawbacks should be solved
soon.
To sum up, Public transport not only brings significant advantages but also causes
serious disadvantages. From my point of view, Public transport can bring more
benefits than drawbacks. People should take advantage of the pros and there
should be some possible solutions to these disadvantages.
4. Air pollution is harmful to humans, plants, and animals. In most areas, air
pollutants are principally from motor vehicles or the products of power generation.
Pollutants from these sources may not only prove a problem in the immediate
vicinity of these sources but can travel long distance as well. Write an essay to
discuss the effects/ impacts of air pollution on our health and the solutions to
decrease the bad effects of this issue.
In the past few decades, our environment has deteriorated rapidly, especially the
quality of air. Air pollution has become a debated topic in many forums. It
affects not only the immediate vicinity of these sources but also the other places
around. This essay will shed light on the impacts of air pollution on people’s
health and suggest some solutions to deal with this problem.
There are several negative effects related to this matter. The most serious effect
is that it can cause serious environmental problems. To show an example, there
are many problems such as the greenhouse effect, climate change, ozone
depletion, and so on. It is very dangerous. An additional bad point is that it can
affect people’s health. For instance, it will cause serious diseases, especially,
lung disease when people breathe a lot of toxic emissions, smoke and dust. It is
very serious. These drawbacks should be solved soon.
On the other hand, some actions could be taken to mitigate the problems will
mention below. Individuals should focus attention on growing plants. That is
because trees will create oxygen and absorb carbon dioxie. It helps us protect
the environment. We can grow trees in public places such as the park, the school
yard, the garden, and so on. Another good solution is that we should use public
transport instead of private transport. It means that it helps us reduce toxic
emissions, smoke and dust in the air. It is very necessary. Besides, factories and
industrial zones need to have modern machinery and reasonable process to
treat toxic emissions before release into the environment. The government
should fine people who break the laws. The government should increase the
penalty for them. It is about 100 million to several years in prison for serious
actions. These effective ways should be taken soon.
To sum up, due to the negative effects of air pollution, various measures should
be taken as soon as possible. From my point of view, air pollution not only affects
people’s lives now but also leads to serious consequences in the future. Each
individual, each family, and the whole community should try to solve the
disadvantages of air pollution.
5. Nowadays computers are used more frequently in primary school. Discuss the
advantages and disadvantages of using computers in primary school. ( đề này bàn về
thuận lợi và bất lợi của việc sử dụng computers trong trường tiểu học- cũng có thể
áp dụng chung cho việc học ở các cấp độ/ đôi khi đề này sẽ thay đổi sang dạng “bạn
có đồng ý rằng computers có tác động lên việc học của sinh viên không?” thì chúng
ta vẫn bàn về lợi và bất lợi của computers.)
In recent years, using computers in some primary schools has become more and more
popular. Many adopt a view that using computer in schools will help students develop
some skills whereas others argue that it will make them get distracted, and they will
approach with some bad things easily. The aim of this essay is to discuss two both sides
about using computers in primary school.
On the one hand, there are several merits when students use computer in a primary
school. Firstly, computer is a tool that helps a lot for learners. For example, they can
search information to prepare for their lessons better; besides, they can also use computer
to save their information. Secondly, computer helps them update information every day,
learn English, or learn some other subjects to develop their brain. For instance, they can
read articles on some webs; in addition, they can watch a lot English videos on YouTube
and many other things.
On the other hand, there are some demerits of using computers in primary school. One
negative point is that they can exposed to some bad things if they use computer
improperly. This is because they are too young to know what is good and what is bad to
avoid. Moreover, they will not control their time effectively when they use computers
and become lazy; therefore, it makes them distracted when they study.
To sum up, It is obvious that although the computer brings many demerits to students,
there are a variety of merits of the computer. Educators should take both benefits and
drawbacks of using computers into consideration when making their decision.

8. Some people believe that learning should take place in a particular time; others
argue that learning should be continuous, and it is too late to learn. Do you agree
or disagree with the idea? (việc học nên là suốt đời hay là chỉ học 1 khoảng trong
cuộc sống?)
→
In this day and age, learning is a very important process in people’s lives. Many
adopt a view that a person should learn in a particular time while others believe
that learning should be continuous, and it is too late to learn. In my opinion, I
totally agree with the latter idea for the following reasons.
The most important reason why I agree with this is that with each person,
knowledge is unlimited. It means that there are a lot of various fields in the
world. To show an example, we have to learn science, math, chemistry,
geography, literature, and even life field like cooking, raising children, managing
money, culture, travel, and so on. Besides, we can gain knowledge not only in
our country but also in many places of the world. Therefore, we can not learn all
in a short time, we can learn for a long time. It is a long process and needs effort.
We can learn in many different ways and learn anywhen we have free time.
Another reason that can be seen by everyone is that besides the knowledge
existing in the present (available knowledge), every day, science and technology
are ever-changing. It leads to that there are a lot of new things and new
inventions will appear, so we have to learn every day. It helps us can keep up
with the modern world. We will know a lot of new things about our country and
the world. It is very necessary and useful. Moreover, learning is necessary for
every age, from the younger to the older. Each person needs to learn and improve
their knowledge to bring benefits to their society.
To sum up, there are two main reasons why I totally agree that learning should
be continuous. Government should encourage people to learn ceaselessly
because of the merits that learning has brought.

10. Currently, there is a wide choice of TV programs in many parts of the world.
However, instead of watching educational programs or news, more and more young
people prefer to watch game shows, movies, or comedies to relax. As a result, this
has negatively affected knowledge acquisition among young generations. Write an
essay to discuss the reasons of this issue and how it is posible to make educational
TV program more popular.
In the past few years, there are a great deal of TV programmes. People are more likely
to rather watch entertaining programs than informative programs. This trend has
detrimental effects on the skills of acquiring knowledge. In this essay, two main
reasons will be given to explain this phenomenon and offer several solutions to boost
the popularity of educational TV programs or documentary films.
The main reason is that the hustle and bustle of life make people exhausted after a long
day at work. As a result , folks always keep their eye on enjoyable programs which is
hilarious and attractive to relax. Furthermore, there are participations in game show of
celebrities who have a great sense of humour. In fact that such shows on youtube in
Viet Nam always go viral and get top trending than educational programs. Another
explanation is that educational programs or documentary films have low space and
tedious plot. Unlike soap opera containing twist and turn and dramatic.
The first solution is that turning conventional format into new format to reach a huge
audience. For instance, educational programs usually provide knowledge one way, but
educational game shows in which allow player to discuss together and give questions
to professional. A second measure is that inviting famous people like idol or influencer
to join educational game show which draws attention especially youngers.
In conclusion, there are various measure to tackle this problem that are certain to arise
as the populations of educational programs.
11. Traffic jams are becoming a more and more serious problem in big cities. This
has caused serious influences on both cities’ citizens and society. Many solutions
have been applied to solve this problem and one way is to build sky trains in cities
which run overhead rather than on the ground. Write an essay to discuss the
advantages and disadvantages of developing sky train systems at cities.
In today’s modern life, the Skytrain above the city has become more and more
popular. Some people believe the issue is that Skytrain above the city has many
advantages. However, others think that it could also have negative effects. In my
opinion, its cons could never overshadow its pros. Discussed below are several
benefits as well as drawbacks of public transport.
The main benefits of this include the followings. The most important benefit is
that it helps us reduce traffic jams, especially in rush hours. That is because we
will have more road spend a lot of kinds of transport such as cars, motorbike,
lorries, and so on. We can move more easily. It is very convenient and helps us
save much time. Another good point is that we can reduce traffic accidents. It
means that there are not many vehicles on road, so we can move quickly and
safely. We can avoid traffic accidents on road. It is very necessary. These are
positive effects of Skytrain above the city
On the other hand, there are negative effects Skytrain above the city can bring to
people's life. The most serious harm is that it takes a lot of money to build Skytrain
above the city. That is because the government have to use a lot of budgets to
build Skytrain a above the city. Besides, Building Skytrain is very complicated
and needs a lot of modern equipment as well as many workers. It is very costly.
An additional bad point is that Constructing Skytrain takes s lot of time and it is
also very difficult and can cause a lot of problems. That is because instead of
building on the ground, we must build above the city. It is more difficult. These
drawbacks should be solved soon.
To sum up, Skytrain above the city not only brings significant advantages but also
serious causes disadvantages. From my point of view, Skytrain above the city can
bring more benefits than drawbacks. People should take advantage of the pros and
there should be some possible solutions to these disadvantages.
12. As a result of globalization, countries around the world are getting closer
together. This requires a common language like English for better communication.
Although it is obvious that English is not the only global language, a good command
of the English language can gain a great deal of information from international
resources. Do you agree or disagree with the statement above?
13. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of living in a small family rather than
in a large family.
In today’s modern life, living in a nuclear family has become more and more
popular. Some people believe it has many advantages, others think it could also
have negative effects. In my opinion, its cons could never overshadow its pros.
Discussed below are several benefits and drawbacks of living in a nuclear
family.
The main benefits of this include the followings. The most important benefit is
that It helps family members have freedom and private space. That is because a
nuclear family has only two generations, they live together and include parents
and children. There are not too many people live one house. To show an
example, we can have a bigger room because we do not need to share with
anyone. It is very comfortable. Another good point is that avoid some
unnecessary arguments in daily life. It means that old people often do not
understand about thinking and activities of young people. They always want
their children and grandchildren to listen and do what they want. Because they
believe that they have a lot of life experience. Besides, others do not like to be
controlled by someone. These are positive effects of living in a nuclear family.
On the other hand, there are some negative effects that living in a nuclear family
can bring to people’s lives. The most serious harm is that we will lose care and
help from many family members when we have trouble. For example, Parents
are very busy with their work, they can not care for their children. Children can
not have a lot of family love. It is not good for the development of children. An
additional bad point is that we can not receive useful advice and life experience
from grandparents. That is because grandparents have met and overcome many
difficulties in their life. They can give us advice and ways to solve difficulties.
To sum up, living in a nuclear family not only brings significant advantages but
also causes serious disadvantages. From my point of view, studying abroad can
bring more benefits than drawbacks. People should take advantage of the pros
and there should be some possible solutions to these disadvantages.
14. Improving air quality is a duty of government, not individuals. Do you agree or
disagree with this idea?
In today’s modern life, it is thought by many people that Individual efforts will
not have any results, it is only the responsibility of the government. However,
there are numerous reasons why I strongly disagree with this opinion, and I
would in here explain a few of the most important ones. Discussed in the essay
below will look at some main reasons as well as any relevant examples for my
choice.
The most important reason why disagree with this is to protect the environment
and reduce air pollution, each individual can do a lot of simple things in daily
life. To show an example, we can use public transport or electric vehicles instead
of using too much private transport. It helps us reduce toxic emissions, smoke,
and dust in the air. It is a great way to improve the environment. It is very useful
and necessary.
Another reason that can be seen by everyone is that we can grow many trees to
help the air become fresher and cleaner. That is because trees can create oxygen
and absorbs carbon dioxide. For instance, we can plant trees in many places such
as the park, the schoolyard, the house yard, the garden, along the road, and other
places. Besides the main effect is to reduce air pollution as mentioned above,
planting trees also makes views more beautiful. Planting is very easy to do, so
each individual, each family, and the whole community can do it.
Although I cannot deny that there are some reasons why some people disagree
with the above point of view because each person will have a different view and
life experience. To show an example, some people think that It is not suitable
because they believe it does not bring too many benefits and it is unnecessary to
do it.
To sum up, from what has been discussed above, I can safely draw the
conclusion that I agree with that absolutely.
[Link] the introduction of the Internet, the lives of human beings have been
changed in many different ways. Nowadays, more and more Internet users have
found the meaning of their lives in a virtual world. Therefore, some think that the
Internet is of great benefits due to its endless potential. Write an essay to discuss
whether the advantages of the Internet outweigh the disadvantages.
16. Deforestation, a process in which trees are cut down, is one of the biggest
environmental problems in many parts of the world. People are cutting down a larger
number of trees every day to make more land for agriculture, housing, urbanization,
and collect wood for commercial purposes. Write an essay to discuss the effects of
deforestation.
In today’s modern life, one of the common concerns of the general public is
deforestation. Some people believe it is caused by many factors. Besides, others
think it could have negative effects on people’s lives. Discussed in the essay
below will look at several disadvantages and primary causes of deforestation
There are several negative effects related to this matter. The most serious effect
is that it can cause a lot of natural disasters. To show an example, people may
encounter floods, soil erosion, rain, storm, and so on. It affects people’s lives and
the economic development of a country. It is very serious. An additional bad
point is that it can cause serious environmental problems. For instance, there are
problems such as the greenhouse effect, climate change, ozone depletion, and so
on. It is very dangerous. These drawbacks should be solved soon.
This matter is caused by many reasons. Perhaps the major reason is that people
cut down trees in the forest to take wood and use it to do many things that they
need. To show an example, they can sell the wood to make a lot of money, use
wood to build houses or bridges, make paper, and produce tables or chairs.
Wood is very useful with people. However, profit from it makes people destroy
the forest too much, it overcomes the growth of the forest. It is very serious.
Another cause is that people destroy the forest to have more land. That is
because, nowadays, the population grows so fast, it leads to not enough land for
people to live and use. For example, people want to use forest land to grow
vegetables, rice, fruits, flowers, and so on. Besides, people also use forest land to
build more material facilities such as companies, factories, industrial zones, the
road, and so on. These are some important causes of deforestation.
To sum up, due to the negative effects, various measures should be taken as soon
as possible. From my point of view, deforestation not only can bring drawbacks
to people’s lives but also cause dangerous consequences in the future. Each
individual, each family, and the whole community need to try to limit and solve
the disadvantages of deforestation.

18. Discuss the benefits and drawbacks of doing unpaid work such as doing charity.
In recent years, doing unpaid work such as doing charity become a controversial
topic in many forums. Many adopt a view that it has a lot of benefits for people.
However, others argue that there are some drawbacks. The aim of this essay is to
discuss both the advantages and disadvantages of this problem.
On the one hand, doing unpaid work has many merits. First of all, people can
learn many new things when doing unpaid work. Charitable campaigns such as
teaching primary schoolchildren or helping the elderly with their daily activities
provide the participants with not only new knowledge and skills, but also a sense
of community and a belief that they are a pivotal part of societies. Last but not
least, doing this teachs people valuable job skills. For example, they can learn
communication skill when contacting and helping people. Moreover, their
problem-solving skills will be greatly improved if they go to charity together.
On the one hand, there are some demerits of doing unpaid work such as doing
charity. The first one is that when people do this, they do not have enough
money to pay for other activities. For instance, students cannot pay their rent,
utility bills, and charity at the same time. Finally, doing unpaid work wastes
time. If student or employee participate in charity activities, they do not have
time to focus in their study or their job. This lead to student’s learning become
backward, the employee is an efficient worker.
To sum up, it is obvious that doing unpaid work brings both the advantages and
disadvantages. people should take its disadvantages into account when doing it.
19. Children obesity has become one of the most serious problems in many
countries. In 2012, nearly 1/5 US kids was obese. Children obesity has both
immediate and long-term effects on children health and society. There are number
of reasons causing this problem and each problem need to be deal with in a particular
way. Write an essay to discuss the reasons and suggesting the solutions for children
obesity.
In today’s modern life, one of the common concerns of the general public is
obesity. Some people believe that it is caused by various factors. However,
others think it could also have great solutions. Discussed in this essay below are
several primary causes and offer some special solutions to deal with the
disadvantages of obesity.
This matter is caused by many reasons. Perhaps the major reason is that children
have an unhealthy diet. To show an example, children often eat fast food and
food which is rich in fat, oil cholesterol, and sugar such as ice creams, snacks,
hamburgers, spaghetti, fried chicken, soft drink, and other food. Another
important reason is that parents are very busy with their work, so they do not
cook healthy meals at home for the children. Therefore, children have to eat out
instead of eating at home. Last but not least reason is that children have a/an
sedentary/inactive lifestyle. It means that children prefer playing games,
watching TV, reading comics, and accessing the internet. They do not take part
in physical activities to consume excess energy. These are some main causes of
obesity.
On the other hand, some actions could be taken to mitigate the problems will
mention below. First of all, Parents should focus attention on children’s diet. For
instance, they should try to cook healthy meals for children at home. Children
need to limit eating fast food and food which is rich in fat, oil, and sugar.
Besides, children should eat more vegetables, and fruits and drink more water
every day. An additional solution is that schools should hold more
extracurricular activities. It means that children can take part in more outdoor
activities and social activities such as playing sports, swimming, doing
exercise, and so on. It helps children keep fit, stay healthy and prevent various
diseases, especially, obesity. Finally, the government should limit food
advertising and ban unhealthy products. These effective ways should be taken
soon
To sum up, due to negative effects, various solutions should as soon as possible.
From my point of view, obesity not only affects people’s lives now but also can
lead to serious consequences in the future. Each individual, each family, and the
whole community need to try to limit and solve the disadvantages of obesity.
20. Some people believe that learning Art at school wastes time; children must study
important subjects like Math and languages. Do you agree or disagree?
In today’s modern life, it is thought by many people that Art is a waste of time,
and children should focus on maths and languages instead. There are numerous
reasons why I strongly disagree with this opinion, and I would in here explain a
few of the most important ones. Discussed in the essay below will look at some
main reasons as well as any relevant examples for my choice.
The most important reason why I disagree with this is that Art helps children to
relax and reduce stress after stressful subjects such as math, chemistry, physics,
languages, and other subjects. They can learn music and drawing. It is very
interesting and comfortable. That is because they do not need to learn by heart a
lot of content in lessons. They can sing a lot of songs and draw many pictures
that they like. The colors of the picture and melody as well as lyrics will make
them happier. It is very useful for them.
Another reason that can be seen by everyone is that Art is a great way for
Children to can develop their creations and imaginations. It means that when
they learn music and drawing, they need to imagine a lot of things in their head
to can draw a beautiful picture. Besides, each person will have a talent or will be
good in a field. A child can also become a musical genius or famous artist.
Adults should not stop artistic talent and dream of children.
Although I cannot deny that there are some reasons why some people agree with
the above point of view because each person will have a different view and life
experience. To show an example, some people think that it is suitable because
they believe it does not bring too many benefits and it is unnecessary to do it.
To sum up, from what has been discussed above, I can safely draw the
conclusion that I agree with that absolutely.

24. Today in many countries, children and young people are among the biggest
groups of Internet users and other communication devices. They can enjoy great
benefits from the Internet and modern communication technologies. However, they
can expose to many risks as well. Therefore, online safety programs on how to use
the Internet and modern communication technology wisely should be included in
primary and secondary school curriculum. Write an essay to discuss possible dangers
of the Internet and communication technologies and the benefits of online safety
program for primary and secondary students.
25. The number of children who are considered overweight is increasing. This is a
negative consequence of modern lifestyles and habits such as eating fast food and
playing video games. Therefore, some people think increasing the time spent on
physical education at school is the best way to deal with the problem of overweight
children. Do you agree or disagree with this idea and give your opinion.
In today’s modern life, it is thought by many people that the best way to deal
with this problem is to introduce more physical education lessons in the school
curriculum. There are numerous reasons why I strongly disagree with this
opinion, and I would in here explain a few of the most important ones. Discussed
in the essay below will look at some main reasons as well as any relevant
examples for my choice.
The most important reason why I disagree with this is that overweight people
should have a healthy diet. It is very important for them. To show an example,
they should not eat food that is not good for their health such as fast food, soft
drink, milk tea, snacks, cakes, and so on. That is because these foods contain a
lot of fat, cholesterol, oil, sugar, and salt. It makes them overweight. They only
should eat vegetables, and fruits, and drink a lot of water every day. It is very
effective for obese people because it helps them lose weight. A good diet will
bring more benefits than physical education in school.
Another reason that can be seen by everyone is that obesity is not just excess
weight, it has become a dangerous disease. Therefore, they should special
treatment from doctors. They should meet doctors to have useful advice and
know effective ways to lose weight. Besides, time to learn physical education in
school is not enough to improve their problems. It is only suitable for stay
people’s health and consumes excess energy. It is not necessary for them.
Although I cannot deny that there are some reasons why some people agree with
the above point of view because each person will have a different view and life
experience. To show an example, some people think that it is suitable because
they believe it can bring many benefits and it is necessary to do it.
To sum up, from what has been discussed above, I can safely draw the
conclusion that I disagree with that absolutely.
26. TV is the most popular form of entertainment in many households. People of all
ages use this medium to entertain themselves for many hours a day. Thus, TV has
had a tremendous influence on its viewers, especially children. However, some
people worry that children can be negatively affected by constantly watching TV.
Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of TV on children.
27. In the past, it was much more common for people to have a single, simple career
path, sometimes even with just one employer. However, recent years have witnessed
a widespread increase in the change of jobs and careers of youngsters. Many young
jobseekers nowadays are ready to change their jobs for a number of reasons. Write
an essay to discuss reasons of this trend and whether this trend is positive or negative
development, in your opinion?
In today’s modern life, one of the common concerns of the general public is
changing jobs. Some people believe it is caused by many factors. However,
others think it could have negative effects. Discussed in the essay below will
look at several primary causes and offer some disadvantages of changing jobs
This matter is caused by many main reasons. Perhaps the most major reason is
that It gives people the opportunity to learn a lot of new things. That is because,
when we do many different jobs, we can contact many people such as
customers, managers, co-workers, and other people. We can learn from them
various skills such as working experience, communication skills, management
time, saving money, life skills, reducing stress, and other skills. It helps us grow
and become the best version of ourselves. Another reason is that we can
experience many jobs and choose the most suitable job. Take my brother as an
example, after finishing the university, he changes jobs in various companies. He
realized that a computer engineer was the most suitable for him. These are
some important causes of changing jobs
On the other hand, there are some negative effects that changing a new job can
bring to people’s lives. The most serious effect is that It can affect the quality of
work. That is because we do a job in a short time, we can not yet understand and
be familiar with it. Besides, we do not enough a lot of experience and time-work
as other people. Therefore, we will easily get mistakes and receive bad results
that we do not want. An additional bad point is that it makes our life become not
stable. It means that when we often change new jobs, it leads to many serious
problems. To show an example, after finishing an old job, we could not find a
new job for a long time, we do not receive a salary every month. Therefore, we
do not have money to pay for our life. Besides, we can lose the opportunity to
promote in work. These drawbacks should be solved soon
To sum up, due to the negative effects of changing jobs, various solutions should
be taken as soon as possible. From my point of view, changing new jobs not only
can bring drawbacks to people’s lives now but also can lead to serious
consequences in the future. Each individual, each family, and the whole
community need to try to limit and solve the disadvantages of changing jobs.
28. The computer age had arrived and it has changed our lives in many ways,

essay to compare two opinions and give your own opinion.

decades. People have different opinions about the effects of games on young players.
Some regard video games as harmless fun or even a useful educational tool while
others believe that video games are having negative effects on children. Write an
essay to discuss both negative and positive effects of video games on children and
suggest solutions to decrease bad effects.
31. In many countries, the subject and lesson content of what students are taught in
school is often decided by a board of people who mostly come from higher positions
of central education authority. Some people argue that this responsibility should be
given to the teachers who really carry out the teaching task. Do you agree or disagree
with those views? Give your opinion.
In recent years, designing the curriculum for schools has become a big concern of
our society, and who will take this responsibility has become a debated topic in
many forums. While many adopt a view that central education authority should
decide the subjects and lesson content of what students are taught in schools, some
argue that this task should be made by teachers. In my opinion, I agree with both
views. This essay will express my viewpoints on this problem.
On the one hand, there are some reasons why central authorities should decide
subjects which are taught to students. First and foremost, they take responsibility
for guaranteeing the standardization of national education system. To be more
specific, they make a comparison of various schools’ educational needs and make
a decision of education standards. It means they can opt for a curriculum which is
appropriate for students of different levels, aiming to increase level of education
of the country. In addition, they are well aware of society’s demands. As
politicians have a broad range of knowledge and experience related to different
fields, they can capable of selecting subjects which provide students with
knowledge and skills needed in the society. This helps to improve students’ career
prospects and tackle unemployment among graduates in the future.
On the other hand, teachers should be responsible for designing school curriculum
due to some causes. The first reason is that they are of more practical experience
in teaching. As a result, they are more concerned about what and how to educate
students in the best way. They are also able to adapt teaching materials and change
the syllabus to make it more suitable for their students. Furthermore, they tend to
determine educational materials based on students’ interests. Learning subjects
which attract their interest makes them more engaged in learning and promotes
their strengths. Thus, they can gain better academic performance.
All things considered, both government and educators play essential parts in
determining national education program. In my opinion, it is advisable that both
parties share a common responsibility for selecting the most appropriate school
curriculum and enhance the quality of education system.
Finally, the political persons are experts in their own field. They should not be
picked up to decide the subjects that should be taught in schools only because they
held some important government positions. If necessary, experts from other
countries who have similar experience could be hired to get their opinion on this
issue.
In conclusion, I totally agree that teachers and people who have experience in
teaching and syllabus formation should be included in the committee to decide
what subjects should be taught in schools. Relying on the politicians is the worst
idea in my opinion.
32. With the rising popularity of technological devices and the Internet, the way
people receive information has greatly changed. Many people now prefer to update
information from online resources than from printed newspapers, magazines and
books. People are wondering whether these traditional forms of media will survive
in the future or will be soon a thing of the past. Write an essay to express your
opinion on the future of printed media.
It is argued that people will not need to purchase printed reading material in the
future as this will be free to everyone on the internet. I completely agree with this
as smartphones and e-book readers are more widespread and information online
can be updated far quicker than printed material.
To begin with, the trend toward e-books and free online news websites has been
growing rapidly. I believe that within the next ten years nobody will pay for printed
material, except in academic institutions. That is to say, information now is far
more accessible because nearly everyone owns a smartphone or an iPad. In
addition, free e-books and PDFs can be easily downloaded and a wide variety of
digital news websites can be found online. For example, research in the UK has
shown that newspaper companies are investing heavily in developing their
websites as well as launching free subscription services. Moreover, sales of
devices such as Amazon Kindle and iPads have grown rapidly and this trend is set
to continue.
Another reason for my view is that information on the web is far more up to date.
In other words, once newspapers are distributed to the shops, they cannot be edited
or altered if an important news story suddenly changes. To illustrate this, during
the presidential election in 2020 the situation changed quickly and many news
organizations ran a 24-hour news channel covering the changes. Thus, sales of
newspapers declined rapidly as nearly everyone got updates on their smartphones
and social media. For this reason, I think that printed newspapers will be seen as
unnecessary in the future as most people will rely solely on digital news and
downloadable books at no cost.
To conclude, I think print media will be considered a thing of the past in the next
decade as people depend more on free information on their smartphones, and
traditional newspapers will not be able to compete with digital media.
33. Children today have many different ways to entertain themselves and reading is
still popular. Some people think that children can gain a lot of benefits from reading
even when they choose picture books. However, some argue that picture books are
not good for children’s imagination as they are the same as TV. Write an essay to
discuss whether you agree or disagree with the statement above.
Many people believe that reading books is more beneficial for children compared to watching
TV or playing computer games. Personally, I completely agree with this opinion and will
analyze my point of view in the essay below.
To begin with, children can better improve their imagination through reading books in
comparison with watching TV or playing games. By reading stories, children have to use their
imagination to create a vision and visualize all events described by words in the book. While
reading, they will create images, thoughts and opinions in their mind, thus enhancing their
imagination and creativity. Meanwhile, this can hardly be the case for watching TV, as TV
already provides them with the full image and vibrant colours. Consequently, it is reasonable to
say that reading books help children produce more imaginative responses compared to watching
TV.
In addition, reading stories from a book also develops children’s verbal abilities compared to
watching TV or playing computer games. Children will be exposed to a wide range of
vocabularies as well as sentence structures when reading. Therefore, reading books can provide
great opportunities for children to advance their vocabulary level, which can lead to their better
writing skills. Meanwhile, when it comes to TV shows or computer games, sounds and images
are two key elements rather than texts. That is to say, books are far better than TV or games at
increasing children’s vocabulary.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that the advantages of reading books far outweigh those of
watching TV or playing games for children since this activity does good to both their
imagination and language ability.
34. Tourism has become one of the fastest growing industries in most countries. A
lot of places in the world rely on tourism as a main source of income. While some
people say that the fast development of tourism has had negative effects on local
communities, others argue that its influences are positive. Write an essay to discuss
the effects of tourism on local communities.
It is a fact that international tourism has already become a popular and huge
industry these days, and many towns and cities have taken the benefits of it.
However, some people worry that the activity might have a negative effect on the
local communities. The following essay will discuss advantages and disadvantages
of international tourism. However, I believe that it has more benefits than the
drawbacks.
On the one hand, some people think that international tourism activities bring some
disadvantages for the local societies. The main reason is that they are afraid that
the local environment would be distracted as more and more people come to the
place. For example, Mount Everest is one of the top destinations for international
travellers, but it is reported that the amount of garbage that tourists produce has
increased rapidly in the past few years. Consequently, it might have a catastrophic
effect on the local environment there. Another reason is that tourists would bring
some negative cultures to the local people. For instance, some western people like
to drink the alcoholic beverage, and elders of the local societies are afraid that the
local people would also be interested in drinking those liquors. Finally, the treat
of the terrorist attack is another negative aspect of international tourism according
to many.
On the other hand, many people believe that travelling abroad for leisure activities
would bring a lot of benefits for the destination places. Firstly, it creates a lot of
job opportunities for the local people as some of them could become tour guides
or can run small businesses. Secondly, when foreign travellers come to a country,
they will spend their money for various activities. It means that they will also bring
revenue to the local government in the form of tax. As a result, the government
would have enough budgets for maintaining the public facilities around the places
and the local environment as well. Lastly, it also attracts investors in building
resorts and hotels in the surrounding areas. The development of these places will
absorb many employments not only from the local area but from other cities and
countries as well.
In conclusion, despite its negative effects, I personally believe that global tourism
industries would bring more benefits to the local inhabitants and communities. It
boosts the economic condition of the country and creates job opportunities for the
local people. As for the negative effects, it really depends on how the government
would make clear regulations and implement them.
35. In recent years, with the widespread use of the Internet, the number of people
working from home instead of going to offices has increased dramatically. Working
from home gives new opportunities for both employees and employers. It also brings
more independence and provides a new level of work quality. However, its
drawbacks should not be ignored. Write an essay to discuss the benefits and
drawbacks of working from home.
In today’s modern life, working from home has become more and more popular.
Some people believe it has many advantages. However, others think it could also
have negative effects. From my point of view, its cons could never overshadow its
pros. Discussed in the essay below will look at some benefits as well as offer
several drawbacks of working from the home.
The main benefits of this include the followings. The most important benefit is
that it helps people to save a lot of time. That is because, when they work from
their home, they do not need to go out and go to the workplace. Take my sister as
an example, every day, she takes a lot of time to prepare many things such as
having breakfast, making up, choosing suitable clothes, and moving from her
house to her workplace. It is about one hour. Therefore, it is very convenient for
busy people. Another good point is that It helps quality work to become better. It
means that they can do many activities such as listening to music, reading comics,
watching films, sleeping, and other activities when they feel tired. It helps people
reduce stress and can more effective work. It is very convenient. Besides, It also
can bring some benefits to employers. They do not provide social needs for
workers such as free meals, cost-traveling, entertainment, and so on. It helps
them save money. These are some benefits of working from the home
Some drawbacks working from the home can bring to people’s lives. The most
serious harm is that It can cause difficulties to complete their work. It means that,
when people work from the house, they can not focus on their work because they
are affected by many things around them such as their children, neighbors, and so
on. They can not complete their job on time. It is very serious. An additional bad
point is that when people work from their home, they have to work themselves.
They do not ask and learn from their co-workers. No one helps them when they
have trouble. They will feel bored and lonely. It makes them difficult to
overcome and make mistakes. Besides, employers can not control their workers.
They can not know that their workers do and can complete work or not. They also
can not help their workers. It is very inconvenient. These drawbacks should be
solved soon.
To sum up, working from home not only brings significant advantages but also
causes serious disadvantages. In my opinion, working from the home can bring
more benefits than drawbacks. People should take advantage and there should be
some possible solutions to these disadvantages.
