1/ What are the benefits and disadvantages of learning foreign languages at
the early age
A coin has two sides, just as early learning foreign languages also have their own
benefits and disadvantages.
In terms of the benefits, in my opinion, there are two primary advantages. Firstly,
many researchers compare young children to sponges because they have the ability
to acquire unlimited knowledge. Young children like to discover and learn new
things. Moreover, they can use them in concrete situations. They learn foreign
languages faster than adults, especially, pick up pronunciation better. Secondly,
learning foreign languages at an early age help children have better education and
job opportunities in the future.
Besides the advantages, early learning foreign languages can make many children
confuse between their mother tongue and foreign languages. It’s difficult for them
to keep the purity of the first language. In addition, the cost of learning languages
is so expensive. Many parents cannot afford the tuition fees at some prestigious
schools, they let their children study at cheaper centers but the quality is not good.
I think we should choose the good quality of language centers due to it is very
important to learn it right the first time. If studying at low-quality of centers,
children might be made mistakes that are difficult to fix then.
In conclusion, I think early learning a foreign language has many practical and
preeminent benefits. If we have afforded ability, we should let our children learn
foreign languages at an early age.
8/ Discuss the importance of learning English.
Nowadays, more and more people are spending time studying English as a second
language. Many countries include English in their school syllabus and children are

or planning to travel the world, studying English can help us progress in life both
personally and professionally.
39/ Compare life in the city with life in the countryside
There are many differences between life in urban areas and rural areas. In my
opinion, the primarily different points are environment, job opportunities, and cost
of living.
Firstly, the quality of the rural environments is higher than urban ones. Along with
the economic development is the increase of industrial wastes, moreover, the
crowded population is the reason of traffic jam and the pollution of air and water
resource. On the reverse, life in rural is more comfortable than in cities with a low
population, fresh air, pure water resource, and rarely get stuck in traffic.
In terms of job opportunities, jobs in rural areas are mainly farming and animal
husbandry. Whereas, many companies, factories have been located in the cities
where having many jobs with high salaries. Therefore, many people have been
leaving rural areas to seek better employment in the cities.
Another difference between life in rural and urban areas is cost of living, for
example, it is difficult for you to live in the cities for renting a house, eating,
traveling,… with income under 5 million VND, the reverse, you can live
comfortably in the countryside.
In conclusion, people have their own choices where they are. Some people decide
to live in the rural areas because they like fresh air, quiet environment, some others
live in cities because of job opportunities, high income or simply, they are
extrovert persons, they like the vibrancy of the cities.

41/ Why have so many people nowadays gone to live in big cities?
Nowadays, more and more young people are moving to big cities instead of living
in the countryside. In my opinion, this tendency can be explained by some
following reasons.
First of all, many companies, factories have been located in the big cities where
having many jobs with higher salaries. Therefore, many people have been leaving
rural areas to find better jobs in the cities.
Secondly, many people like to live in urban areas because of high living standards.
The big cities have modern infrastructure, facilities, and high quality of social


services, especially in health care, education, and entertainment. For example,
many top universities, famous specialty hospitals, and lots of banks, supermarkets,
shops, entertainment centers are located in big cities.
And finally, if you are extrovert persons, you like vibrancy, so the best choice is
living urban areas where bring you excitement and never boredom.
In conclusion, people have their own choices where they are living. Who want to
find better jobs with high salaries or like to enjoy living standards with modern
facilities and social services should chose living in the big cities.
7/ There are the negatives and positives of living in a big city. Do you agree
with this statement?
Nowadays, more and more young people are moving to big cities instead of living
in the countryside. Just as a coin has two sides, living in a big city also has its own
negatives and positives.
In terms of benefits, firstly, many companies, factories have been located in the big
cities where having many jobs with higher salaries. Secondly, many people like to
live in urban areas because of high living standards, modern infrastructure,
facilities, and high quality of social services, especially in health care, education,
and entertainment. And finally, if you are extrovert persons, you like vibrancy, so
the best choice is living urban areas where bring you excitement and never

boredom.
Besides the advantages, living in the big cities also has some downsides too. First,
the cost of living in the big cites is higher than in rural areas. Next, along with the
economic development is the increase of industrial wastes as well as the crowded
population is the reason of traffic jam and the pollution of air and water resource.
In conclusion, people have their own choices where they are living. Who want to
find better jobs with high salaries or like to enjoy living standards with modern
facilities and social services should chose living in the big cities.
42/ What are some advantages and disadvantages of living in the countryside?
A coin has two sides, just as living in the countryside also has its own benefits and
disadvantages.
In terms of the benefits, in my opinion, there are three primary advantages. First of
all, the quality of life in the rural areas is better than urban ones with a low
population, fresh air, pure water resource, and rarely get stuck in traffic. Secondly,


the countryside has many natural forests and landscape. These places are suitable
with people like to live with nature and quite environment. And thirdly, you can
live comfortably in the countryside because the cost of living here is lower than in
big cities.
Besides the advantages, living in the countryside has some downsides. The rural
areas have low living standards, backward infrastructure, facilities, and low quality
of social services, fewer job opportunities. And if you are extrovert persons, you
like vibrancy, you should not choose to live in countryside where can make you
bored.
In conclusion, nowadays, living in the countryside is a new tendency. More and
more people are busy with their lives, people have desired and tended to be lived
slowly, therefore, they choose to live in the rural areas. The small house with the
garden is my dream, I hope when I am 45 years old, I will make that dream come
true.

32/ What are the causes of air pollution in cities?
Along with the development always have many negative impacts it causes. For
example, the development of the economy is one of the reasons of air pollution. In
my opinion, this problem can be explained by some following reasons.
Firstly, many factories have been located in the big cities. Besides bringing lots of
employments, but they are also the main components of air pollution because they
burn a lot of oil and release it into the air.
Secondly, more and more young people are moving to big cities so that the
population is more and more crowded. The crowded population causes traffic tram
and many pollutant gases are emitted by vehicles.
Finally, the large areas of land for growing green trees are shrinking to build
infrastructure such as roads, skyscrapers, new residential areas. All we know, trees
help clean our air and absorb harmful airborne particles and gaseous pollutants, on
the reverse, the lack of trees causes air pollution.
In short, air pollution reduces the beauty of nature and is a major health problem.
All governments need consciousness and action to solve this problem. In my
ability, I plant some trees in the garden, ride a bicycle or use public transportation
instead of riding a motorbike to reduce pollutant gas.


37/ Discuss some of the most important skills for young people to have in
today’s job market?
In recent years, being jobless has become a global issue facing young people.
Despite earning high education, many people lack the skills they need to get jobs.
In my opinion, there are three important skills for young people to help them get
the jobs they want.
First of all, perhaps the most important skill is problem-solving skills because
many young people have been learning in the education systems which do not
teach these skills due to they just focus on theory. Young people need ample
practical experience in solving a wide range of problems.

Secondly, communication skills are perhaps the second skill needed for finding
jobs. A person has great ideas, if he or she cannot communicate effectively, many
other skills will be of no great matter.
And the third skill I would like to mention is teamwork skills. Most jobs will
require some sort of teamwork and collaboration between employees. Team
members should be clear about their roles and responsibilities, and everyone needs
to understand, and feel confident about, the particular strengths they bring to the
team.
In conclusion, in my opinion, three important skills that I mentioned above are
important than ever that young people today are well-equipped to enter the
workforce to help them get the jobs they want.
45/ What is the most important skill today?
There are a lot of necessary skills for people in order to be successful in this world
today, but the most important skill everyone should learn to become successful is
communication skills because of following reasons.
Firstly, you know, no matter the job or field, communication is one of the most
essential skills. A person has great ideas, if he or she cannot communicate
effectively, many other skills will be of no great matter. On the reverse, if you have
good communication skills, you will easy to express your thought or ideas to
obtain achievement for your career.
Secondly, people with effective communication skills have good relationships with
others. Everyone trusts and rely on them. They often have large social connections
to help them when they are in need.


Finally, a person who has good interpersonal skills can learn more in a short time.
He can gather a lot more information by talking than by other means like reading
books. You want to know the content of a book, but you don’t have time to read it.
You can talk to a friend or a person who read it and ask him the information you
want to know instead of spending a lot of time finding out the information.

In conclusion, in my opinion, communication skills are necessary skills for people
in order to be successful in this world today. You can learn more, have a good job
and have more friends who can help you succeed in life.
3/ Discuss the importance of the Internet.
Nowadays, it’s difficult to imagine a world without the internet. Our daily life
tasks, communication, and enjoyment depend mainly on the internet. It plays an
important role in our life because of following reasons.
First of all, it has become easy to connect with people worldwide and talk face-toface using the internet. It shortens the distance between us, businesses or countries.
Besides, the internet brings us entertainment and news updates.
The next positive effect of the internet is in learning. It provides us with a free and
huge knowledge resource. Therefore, teachers and students can access them from
any part of the world and learn or research them. Especially, the student can easily
communicate and ask doubts from their teachers in real-time via free application
such as Viber, Zalo, and so on.
Finally, we must recognize that the internet has positively impacted society. With
the help of the internet, people, businesses, organizations, and government
authorities can connect internationally.

system should be improved in rural areas as well as small cities, and students need

well as being dominated by entertainment information on social networks.

are very plentiful and multiform, so the customers tend to buy the products too
much. This problem is a cause of waste of money.

preeminent benefits. Especially, during the complicated situation of the covid-19


epidemic, online shopping has been being solved many problems for customers
and also sellers.
16/ Discuss the roles of technology in education.
Nowadays, technology has become an integral part of many different fields in our
life, especially, in education. In my opinion, there are three important roles of
technology in education.
Firstly, technology provides students with access to countless online resources,
encouraging them to carry out research and therefore become more independent.
Secondly, technology can provide them a higher quality of education and make
learning more fun and convenient. People can access learning through YouTube
and social media. This helps students learn better than sitting down for lectures and
reading from textbooks.
Finally, technology also has made it possible for us to gain qualifications online

Reading newspapers brings us the storehouse of knowledge and information. It
tells us what is happening at home and abroad. Many people have habits of reading
daily newspapers that their days seem incomplete without taking hold of early
morning newspapers. In my opinion, I think the importance of newspapers in our

31/ What are the benefits of travelling by public transport?

Nowadays, more and more people like to travel by public transports because it
brings them many benefits and convenience. In my opinion, there are third primary
advantages
Firstly, Public Transport benefits each person and the entire community
financially. This form of transport contributes a lot of money in economic returns
by ticket fee obtaining. Moreover, it saves time and money for people on
maintenance and servicing of the personal vehicle, parking spaces, and fees at the
various destinations.
Secondly, public Transport carries many people on one vehicle, it burns less fuel
and reduces air pollution more than many individual vehicles put together, hence
can reduce traffic jams.
Thirdly, it allows people who cannot afford to buy their personal vehicles to travel.
In addition, public transport is a lot safer than other means because it must have
safety standards to be used for public transport.
In conclusion, in my opinion, although public transport is good for the
environment and the economy, and gives you many advantages as well, choosing
public transport or personal vehicles depends on the demands of each person. If
you are in urgent situations, you should not choose public transport.
5/ What are the advantages and disadvantages of using public transports
A coin has two sides, just as using public transports also has its own benefits and
disadvantages.
In terms of benefits, firstly, public transport contributes a lot of money in economic
returns by ticket fee obtaining and it can save time and money for personal vehicle
owners many kinds of cost such as maintenance and servicing, parking spaces, and
fees at the various destinations. Secondly, public transport carries many people on
one vehicle, it burns less fuel and reduces air pollution than many individual


vehicles put together, hence can reduce traffic jams. And finally, it allows people
who cannot afford to buy their personal vehicles to travel.

Besides the advantages, it has a low level of comfort because, firstly, public
transport can be slower than traveling using your personal vehicle due to it must
drop by many stops. Secondly, the fixed stops and schedules of the public transport
may not match with the travel demands of some users. Finally, passengers can
contract some communicable diseases due to the limited space.
In conclusion, in my opinion, while it is good for the environment and the
economy, public transport has its own disadvantage as well. Choosing public
transport or personal vehicles depends on the demands of each person.
10/ What are the advantages and disadvantages of living in a nuclear family.
28/ What are the benefits and drawbacks of living in a nuclear family? Do you
like living in that type of family?
A nuclear family is a popular tendency in modern life due to various factors such
as increasing urbanization, scarcity of living space in big cities, a desire for more
privacy, and so on. Just as a coin has two sides, living in a nuclear family also has
its own benefits and disadvantages.
In terms of the advantages, firstly, many young people desire more freedom and
privacy instead of being affected and the absolute control of the eldest family
member. Secondly, sharing the living space with many family members can often
lead to conflicts, misunderstandings, and unpleasant situations.
Besides the advantages, the nuclear family also has some downsides. Firstly,
Couples face difficult situations such as the child falling sick, working to meet a
deadline, or school/daycare declaring a holiday when it is a working day for the
parents. Secondly, the children in nuclear families may feel loneliness and isolation
due to their parents find little or no time to spend with their children. As a result,
some children may feel alone, therefore, they spend a lot of time watching TV,
playing games, or using mobile phones.
In conclusion, in my opinion, no family is perfect, but when solving any problem,
couples need to ensure the best possible outcomes for all family members. I would
like to live in a nuclear family because preventing of conflicts with other members
and have more freedom and privacy.

11/ Living in an extended family brings us many advantages. Discuss this
statement
Living in an extended family is a traditional lifestyle in some cultures for many
years. I think it is advantageous because of the following reasons.
First of all, living in an extended family can reduce the family’s money pressure.
For example, instead of one person paying for the bill, it is now more economical
to have a group of people pays for the bill.
Secondly, it also encourages grandparents and children to spend time together and
add value to each other’s lives. I mean, children have the advantage of growing up
with multiple family members and also learning about caring for their elders, while
grandparents feel happier when living with grandchildren.
Finally, we can find it much easier and simpler to care for and support each other
when living in the same home. This way, we can share the love, responsibilities,
mutual support with the family members.
In conclusion, extended family living has many benefits, but it can also become
challenging and put a pressure on family relationships. One of the best ways to
avoid any potential conflict is to live together in a home with a layout that gives
each member of the family much-needed privacy, space, and comfort.
38/ Describe some of the factors that make one family happy and another
unhappy?
It's easy but also very difficult to have the happiness that depends on the
conception of the individual. Just as a happy family is decided by many factors
base on each member's outlook unification in the family. Here are some primary
factors that make one family happy.
First of all, well, I think the first factor that should mention is mutual respect.
Therefore, young members need to respect elders, on the reverse, adults and
elderly members also need to respect children in the family.
The second factor is sharing. When you give, you will receive back. All family

members should increase sharing, I mean sharing in emotion and also obligations
and duties.
Finally, we need to spend time together. People said “Out of sight, out of mind”, I
think it’s true. Lack of spending time together is the reason why divorce happens
more and more or kids become depraved.


In conclusion, a happy family is made by many factors, but your family must have
some above major factors to have a family happy. Sometimes, you know that but
you can’t do that. So, you should keep and care for most simple things, but these
are essential things to have a happy family, for example, just need a kiss for your
children every day or helping your wife washing the dishes sometimes, or couples
should control the emotion prevents the argument.

outlook that makes you see the world from a wide aspect of view. Secondly,

Besides the advantages, studying overseas has some downsides. Firstly, it is often
the case that tuition fees are higher for international students. In addition, you will
have to spend other considerable moving costs when you choose to study abroad.
Secondly, you may initially have some problems with language and culture
barriers or some issues related with religion, gender roles, or communication

differences. Finally, you might feel alone and miss your family, especially at the
beginning of abroad. In conclusion, in my opinion, studying overseas has many
practical and preeminent benefits. By studying in a foreign country, especially
developed ones, people could gain many benefits that are out of their expectations.

many valuable things.

people and countries. Secondly, traveling can help you reduce stress, even a cure
for depression and might help you feel better, both physically and psychologically.

all types of news and gives us up-to-date information on the current events that are

happening over the whole world within twenty-four hours. Secondly, TV program
channels satisfy most of everyone's hobbies such as cooking channels, financial
talk shows, traveling shows and so on. Finally, watching TV, especially your
favorite programs can help you relax or make you laugh that can relieve your
stress.
However, watching TV has some downsides. Firstly, watching TV too much is not
good for your health such as sleep difficulties, behavior problems, lower grades,

for those who watch a lot, it's very hard to quit.
In conclusion, TV programs are so plentiful and have many benefits. It not only

need to control the TV channels to prevent the children from watching violent,
criminal, sexual, or other risky behavior on television. These issues have negative
effects and leave a bad impression on children and as result, they might have
trouble in the future.

benefits and drawbacks.
In terms of good points, firstly, eating fast food helps to save time for people who
have busy schedules and can takes 50% less time than it would if you were to try to
make lunch or dinner at home. Secondly, besides time, cost-saving is probably the
most important reason for people to eat fast food, fried chicken, hamburger, banh
mi and sticky rice, for example.
Besides good points, eating fast food has some downsides too. Firstly, a fast-food
product habit can impact negatively to your health such as high salt and blood
sugar level, high blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Secondly, fast food is being
seen as a factor that causes some families to spend less and less time together and

to lose the family tradition of eating together. Finally, although fast food is not
very expensive, it is more expensive and the bill is large for many people. Eating at
fast food outlets is economical only for a single person.
In conclusion, although fast food is a convenient and tasty addition to a diet, can
have serious health, increase economic and social effects. People should learn to
choose fast food carefully and remember the pleasure of eating good food at home.
It is not necessary to boycott all fast-food restaurants, but it's important to limit
how often we eat at them.
40/ What are the positive and negative impacts of tourism.
The tourism industry contributes to the development of the country in many
aspects. Just as a coin has two sides, tourism has its own benefits and drawbacks.
In terms of positive impacts, firstly, tourism impacts positively the economy. It
creates jobs and makes an opportunity to develop the economy in rural areas and
small towns. Secondly, in terms of society, the improvements to infrastructure and
new entertainment facilities that result from tourism also benefit the local
community. Thirdly, tourism also impacts positively the environment, it helps
promote the conservation of wildlife and natural resources such as forests, due to
these are now regarded as tourism property.
Besides the advantages, tourism has some downsides. Firstly, to develop tourism,
the government must invest in roads and infrastructure. The cost of these is very
high and takes from tax revenues. However, jobs created by tourism are often
seasonal and low salary. Secondly, visitor behavior can have a negative effect on


the quality of life in the local community. For example, crowding and congestion,
drugs and alcohol problems, pollution through traffic emissions, littering, sewage
production, and noise.
In conclusion, tourism should be exploited in the right ways to bring benefits to the
economy, help to preserve nature and ecology, broadcast traditional culture.
Especially, tourism in the covid-19 disease situation is affected seriously, if the

government has not had proper development policies that can create a risk of
disease spread, affecting people's health as well as economic stagnation.
21/ Discuss the importance of punctuality.
Punctuality benefits an individual in all aspects of life. It also helps an individual to
build up his/her character and creates a positive impression on others. In my
opinion, I think punctuality has an important role in each individual success.
Firstly, punctuality allows you to manage your time effectively and helps you
control your schedule. When you are always punctual, it demonstrates you have
controlled most of everything that you have planned. This enables you to adapt to
your situations and change your solution efficiently.
Secondly, punctuality helps you show your ability and is a key to success. A
person who is on time stays a step ahead of people who do not value time. Your
foresight and the ability to adapt to any unforeseen situation give you credibility.
Finally, punctuality represents your prestige and respecting others and valuing
time. It is a matter of trust, and people believe you because you always keep your
word. When you set an appointment – whether it is business or pleasure, you are
making a promise that you will be there at that given hour. By being there
punctually, you demonstrate that you keep your promises.
In conclusion, punctuality is a habit that helps you earn the respect and trust of
other people. It also enables you to move ahead in your career. Finally, when you
are punctual, it inspires others around you to do the same, and you can contribute
positively to society as well.
20/ Do you think people today have less free time than in the past? Why or
Why not?
This debate has been argued time and again. For many people, besides working at
the office, they also spend their free time doing many other things. In my opinion,
people today have less free time than in the past because of the following reasons.


Firstly, the development of technology helps productivity and efficiency of

working increase and allows people can work for 8 hours a day instead of 12 hours
as before. However, the cost of living increases as well while salaries have been
rather stagnant. Therefore, people must do other jobs to have extra sources of
income. More people even work during the weekends.
Secondly, in modern life, people have tended to live far from workplaces to save
money for renting a house because accommodation in center is very expensive.
Therefore, they must wake up early and spend more time moving on roads, even
waste time by traffic jams.
Finally, people usually spend the rest time of the day taking care of their families
or children after the whole working day. Even many parents must take their
children to join extra language classes and other skills classes on the weekends.
They do not almost have the leisure time for their hobbies.
In conclusion, although modern life brings us many benefits and helps us reduce
official working time, it also increases the demand of people today.
24/ Do you think universities prepare well enough for your future careers?
Some lucky people can use their degrees to find jobs they want, but many others
are still jobless after graduation. Besides providing knowledge in theory, I think
universities need to support student transfer theory to practical skills that students
have the perfect reparation for their career.
Firstly, many students report that they lack practical experience before entering the
workforce because they have been learning in the education systems which do not
teach skills due to they just focus on theory. Young people need ample practical
experience in solving a wide range of problems of today's jobs.
Secondly, many employers don’t want to recruit graduated students without real
skills and practical experiences. In my opinion, universities should increase time
for internship and allow students study theory and practice at the same time to have
more experiences for their future careers.
Finally, many universities only care about enrollment quotas instead of social
demands for each specific major. Therefore, lots of graduated students are
unemployment due to excess human resources, for example, majors in pedagogy,

accounting, business administration, and so on.
In conclusion, with Bachelor's or Master's degrees, students will have lots of
opportunities to get jobs they expect. However, they should find clearly
information about the majors and universities that they decide to study, especially,


universities focus training both theory and practice because these issues are very
important to lead to whether they will succeed in the future.
13/ Discuss the importance of having a university degree.
No doubt about the importance of higher education for our life. Higher education
can lead to many benefits, including a successful career and financial security.
Education or university degrees play a significant role in all aspects of our life.
Firstly, a university degree helps us increase access to job opportunities. I mean,
we cannot prevent high competition, but if we don't have this degree our
opportunity is near zero when joying high-quality job market.
Secondly, the greater our level of education, the higher we can expect our salary to
be. Bachelor’s degree holders earn higher salaries than associate degree holders
and high school graduates. So, it means a bachelor’s degree brings pay well, help
us economic stability.
Finally, a good job and a high salary take away the stress factors associated with
financial insecurity. As such, you can live happily and more comfortably. The
quality of your life will be improved and your health also will be better.
In conclusion, nowadays, many people obtain Bachelor's or Master's degrees to
join the job market. Therefore, candidates are difficult to stand out from others in a
highly competitive job market. However, I think we should not doubt the
importance of having a university degree due to the quickest pathway that brings
you closer to your dreams is going to college and getting a higher education. It's
the reason why many people invest in college both with their money and time.
25/ Do you think that computers can totally replace human teachers in the
future?

Well, this is a debate that has been argued time and again. In my opinion, at least
in near future, computers CANNOT replace teachers because of the following
reasons.
Firstly, teachers do not only give students information, homework, and marks like
computers, but also teachers can change the methods of teaching for specific
students because the cognitive ability of each individual is different.
Secondly, teachers have the emotional capacity to empathize with their students.
They have a keen observation to notice the demands of their students and they
know how to subtlety handle them when occurring unexpected situations. At the
moment, computers cannot do that.
