Television advertisements have become an integral part of our daily lives, bombarding us with
messages and enticing visuals. While they may seem harmless, there are three notable
disadvantages that TV advertisements bring to the young generation today.

Firstly, excessive exposure to TV ads can lead to materialistic tendencies among the youth.
Constantly bombarded with images of luxurious lifestyles and trendy products, young people are
easily influenced to prioritize material possessions over more meaningful aspects of life such as
relationships or personal growth.
Secondly, TV ads often promote unhealthy habits and behaviors. From sugary snacks to fast food
chains, these advertisements encourage the consumption of unhealthy products that can
contribute to obesity and other health issues among the youth.
Lastly, TV ads can negatively impact self-esteem and body image. The unrealistic beauty
standards portrayed in these commercials can lead young individuals to develop low self-esteem
and body dissatisfaction as they strive for an unattainable ideal.
In conclusion, while TV advertisements may seem harmless on the surface, they bring several
notable disadvantages for the young generation today. It is crucial for parents and educators to
guide them in critically analyzing these ads and developing a healthy perspective towards
consumerism and self-image.

brings to people in the modern world.
Firstly, globalization promotes economic growth and development. It allows countries to access
new markets and expand their businesses globally. This leads to increased trade, investment, and

collaborations in various fields.

than ever before. Online courses enable individuals from remote areas to gain knowledge from
prestigious institutions around the globe. Similarly, telemedicine allows patients in underserved
regions to receive medical advice remotely from specialists elsewhere.

It drives economic growth by expanding trade opportunities; it promotes cultural exchange
leading to greater understanding; it improves access to education and healthcare for all
individuals regardless of their location or background. While challenges exist within this

Discuss THREE most notable EFFECTS which money may have on the human’s life”
(Ba tác dụng của tiền)
Money is an essential aspect of human life, and its influence on individuals cannot be
underestimated. There are three notable effects that money can have on a person's life.
Firstly, money provides individuals with a sense of security. Financial stability allows people to
meet their basic needs such as food, shelter, and clothing. It also enables them to plan for the
future by saving for emergencies or retirement. This sense of security brings peace of mind and
reduces stress levels, allowing individuals to focus on other aspects of their lives.
Secondly, money can provide opportunities for personal growth and development. With financial
resources at hand, individuals can invest in education or training programs that enhance their
skills and knowledge. This opens doors to better job prospects and higher earning potential.
Money also allows people to pursue hobbies or interests that enrich their lives and contribute to
personal fulfillment.
Lastly, money can influence social status and relationships. Wealth often leads to increased social
recognition and respect from others. It may open doors to exclusive social circles or provide
Skype: lilynguyen180285. Kakaotalk: hoanglinh1802dn. Wechat: hoanglinh1802dn. Line: hoanglinh1802dn.


access to influential networks. Additionally, money can impact romantic relationships as it affects
one's ability to provide for a partner or family.
In conclusion, the effects of money on human life are significant. It provides security,
opportunities for personal growth, and influences social status and relationships. However, it is
important not to equate wealth with happiness as there are many other factors that contribute to
overall well-being beyond monetary means.

Discuss THREE most notable DISADVANTAGES which the internet may bring to the
young generation nowadays” (3 nhược điểm của internet)
The internet has undoubtedly revolutionized the way we live, work, and communicate. However,
it is important to acknowledge that this technological marvel also brings with it several
disadvantages for the young generation today.
Firstly, excessive use of the internet can lead to social isolation. With virtual interactions
replacing face-to-face conversations, young people may struggle to develop crucial social skills
and form meaningful relationships.
Secondly, the internet exposes youngsters to a plethora of inappropriate content such as violence
or pornography, which can have detrimental effects on their psychological well-being.
Lastly, cyberbullying has become rampant in recent years, causing immense emotional distress
and even leading to tragic consequences for vulnerable individuals.

generation cannot be overlooked.
“Discuss the ADVANTAGES and DISADVANTAGES of shopping ONLINE”

Skype: lilynguyen180285. Kakaotalk: hoanglinh1802dn. Wechat: hoanglinh1802dn. Line: hoanglinh1802dn.


Shopping online has become increasingly popular in recent years, with more and more people
opting to make their purchases from the comfort of their own homes. This trend has both
advantages and disadvantages that need to be considered.
One of the main advantages of shopping online is convenience. With just a few clicks, consumers
can browse through a wide range of products and make a purchase without having to leave their
homes. This saves time and effort, especially for those who live in remote areas or have busy
schedules. Additionally, online shopping offers access to a wider variety of products than
traditional brick-and-mortar stores.
Another advantage is the ability to compare prices easily. Online retailers often offer discounts
and promotions that are not available in physical stores. Consumers can also read reviews from

other customers before making a purchase, which helps them make informed decisions.
However, there are also disadvantages to shopping online. One major drawback is the lack of
personal interaction with salespeople. In physical stores, customers can ask questions and receive
immediate assistance if needed. Online shoppers may have to wait for responses from customer
service representatives or rely on product descriptions alone.
Another disadvantage is the risk of fraud or security breaches when providing personal
information online. Hackers can potentially gain access to credit card details or other sensitive
data if proper security measures are not in place.
In conclusion, shopping online offers convenience and access to a wide range of products at
competitive prices. However, it lacks personal interaction and carries risks related to security and
fraud. Therefore, consumers should weigh these advantages and disadvantages before deciding
whether to shop online or in physical stores.
“Discuss the reasons why staying healthy is more important than having much money”
In today's fast-paced and materialistic world, it is often easy to prioritize wealth over health.
However, it is crucial to recognize that staying healthy is more important than having much
money. This essay will discuss several reasons why this is the case.
Skype: lilynguyen180285. Kakaotalk: hoanglinh1802dn. Wechat: hoanglinh1802dn. Line: hoanglinh1802dn.


Firstly, good health is the foundation of a fulfilling life. Without it, all the wealth in the world
becomes meaningless. No amount of money can buy back lost health or reverse chronic illnesses.
By prioritizing our well-being, we can enjoy life's simple pleasures and engage in activities that
bring us joy and fulfillment.
Secondly, being healthy allows us to be productive and successful in various aspects of life.
When we are physically fit and mentally sound, we have more energy and focus to pursue our
goals and ambitions. In contrast, poor health can hinder our ability to work efficiently or achieve
our full potential.
Furthermore, staying healthy reduces healthcare costs in the long run. Preventive measures such
as regular exercise, balanced diet, and stress management can significantly decrease the risk of
developing chronic diseases like diabetes or heart conditions. By investing time and effort into

maintaining good health now, individuals can avoid costly medical treatments later on.
Lastly, good health promotes happiness and overall well-being. Money may provide temporary
satisfaction through material possessions or luxurious experiences; however, true happiness stems
from feeling physically strong and mentally balanced.
In conclusion, while money certainly has its importance in society today, staying healthy should
always take precedence over accumulating wealth. Good health enables us to lead meaningful
lives filled with productivity, happiness, and longevity – things that no amount of money can
truly buy.
“Discuss THREE most notable REASONS why media is important to young generation
nowadays”
Media plays a crucial role in shaping the minds and lives of the young generation today. With the
advent of technology, media has become easily accessible to everyone, especially the youth.
There are three notable reasons why media is important to the young generation nowadays.
Firstly, media provides a platform for self-expression and creativity. Young people can use
various forms of media such as social networking sites, blogs, and vlogs to share their thoughts,
Skype: lilynguyen180285. Kakaotalk: hoanglinh1802dn. Wechat: hoanglinh1802dn. Line: hoanglinh1802dn.


ideas, and talents with a wide audience. This not only boosts their confidence but also helps them
connect with like-minded individuals from around the world.
Secondly, media acts as an educational tool for young people. With access to the internet and
online platforms, they can easily find information on any topic of interest. This enables them to
expand their knowledge beyond what is taught in schools and encourages independent learning.
Lastly, media helps in raising awareness about important social issues. Through news outlets and
documentaries, young people are exposed to different perspectives on global problems such as
climate change or inequality. This exposure fosters critical thinking skills and encourages them to
become active citizens who strive for positive change.
In conclusion, media plays a vital role in the lives of young people today by providing a platform
for self-expression, acting as an educational tool, and raising awareness about important social
issues. It is essential that we guide them in using media responsibly so that they can harness its

power for personal growth and societal development.
