EXAMPLE
Some people argue that teaching literature in high schools is a sheer waste of time since
it has little to no practical value. However, I contend that it provides essential moral
orientation to students.
On the one hand, high schoolers might find it hard to apply literature lessons to real life.
More specifically, writers or poets compose their works at a time that is fundamentally
different from the present teenager’s world. More importantly, characters in novels are
clearly fictional, possessing a set of behaviours that are not always relatable in modern

terms. For instance, throughout the poem “Odyssey”, the hero resolved to use violence
to settle all disagreements, an approach that would not work in our current, more
peaceful civilisation.
On the other hand, it appears to me that this subject is crucial to the moral development
of those at high school. While studying novels or poems, they are able to empathise with
the characters, understanding their circumstances in the given settings instead of making
subjective judgements. As a result, young learners would likely become empathetic
graduates who are willing to appreciate contradicting opinions and cherish differences,
eventually becoming more open-minded citizens. That is a testament why literature
should be included in school curriculum.
In conclusion, although novels or poems may seem to be impractical, I am convinced that
literature must have a place in high school programs to nurture welle ducated citizens.
Nevertheless, teachers should adopt more creative teaching methods such as role playing
or plot construction to make lessons more relevant to their students.

EXAMPLE
It is sometimes argued that doing activities outside is more advantageous to a child’s
overall growth in comparison to playing games on computers. I completely agree with
that argument because of the two following reasons.
Firstly, in contrast to computer games, outdoor activities allow children to reach their full
physical potential. Regular exercise resulting from ball games or playground activities
likely increase appetite and foster the process of metabolism that break down food into

minerals and proteins, building more muscles, stronger joints and bones. By contrast,
video games tend to encourage a sedentary lifestyle, slowing down both digestion and
metabolism. That possibly causes young gamers to suffer from a shortage of essential
nutrition and the failure to discharge noxious substances, which is a precursor to
malnutrition or frailty.
Secondly, playing outsides tends to nurture important mental abilities. For example, it
offers kids a chance to stay in touch with nature, observing various objects, shapes and
colours in diverse sizes and positions, which would boost children’s spatial visualisation.
In addition, children seem more excited to engage in face-to-face conversation with their
peers in the open air than via a laptop screen. This kind of talk is scientifically proven to
be conducive to the development of verbal communication skills that are crucial for
future success at school and beyond.
In conclusion, I am of the opinion that outdoor games are superior to computer-based
ones in facilitating both body growth and mental capabilities in children. That is why
parents should encourage their offspring to spend at least a few hours a day to be at
playgrounds instead of lavishing time on computers or game consoles.

EXAMPLE
People have different views concerning the importance of studying food science and
cooking at educational institutions. While some argue that students should focus on key
subjects that can boost their career prospects, I believe culinary courses are of
paramount significance in leading a healthy and independent lifestyle.
On the one hand, the core disciplines standard at most schools are imperative for one’s
future career. Academic subjects such as math and literature can provide an individual

with the foundational knowledge to smoothly transit into a professional working
environment. For example, logical thinking acquired during math lessons and critical
thinking fostered by literature are prerequisites to nuanced problem-solving skills. Recent
research has indicated that the average income of those with the abovementioned
competencies is higher than that of unskilled laborers and the general workforce.
Therefore, a successful career is a realistic possibility when one focuses diligently on the
important subjects at school.
On the other hand, possessing a solid understanding of food and cooking can ensure not
only general well-being but also serve as a basic survival skill. First and foremost,
schoolers often fail to attend to nutrition in their daily meals, which likely leads to
unhealthy eating habits. Conditions caused by those occupations such as malnutrition and
obesity are detrimental to the healthy growth of the younger generation. Secondly, food
preparation is useful for living independently. Students who are proficient with culinary
skills will be more capable of adjusting to living on their own. Indeed, food science and
cooking could enable them to modify their dietary patterns to live healthier without
either readily available dishes at homes or processed foods at convenience stores.
In conclusion, while some advocate prioritizing traditional school curriculums based on
academic subjects, I believe imparting a knowledge of nutrition and food preparation
generates a great sense of independence and develops healthy eating habits for
graduates. Thus, courses about food should be added to the school curriculum.

EXAMPLE
It is true that antisocial and disrespectful behavior in society has been on the rise recently.
This trend might be attributed to problems in one’s life, but a joint effort by both
governments and individuals can reverse the trend.
Personal issues and low self-esteem are some of the factors that can contribute greatly

to an inconsiderate behaviour. First, personal problems such as work disputes or
relationship conflicts could lead to prolonged stress. This potentially provokes bitterness
and frustration, which might subsequently be vented on others. In addition, low selfesteem is another cause, which usually stems from family problems or school bullying. In
fact, individuals with a history of being neglected by their families or abused by their
friends tend to be insecure, unconfident and have little to no self-respect. As a result, they
tend to exhibit the same abusive behavior that was once bestowed upon them toward
others in order to mask their own insecurities.
In spite of the causes mentioned above, there are viable solutions and appropriate
adjustments to improve the situation. First, people could set for themselves some
conversation standards or develop a rudeness filter to avoid lashing out at others
uncontrollably. This strategy could guarantee a certain decency of behavior, as well as
making them politer and more respectful. In addition, governments could allocate more
resources into childcare programmes, thereby reducing abusive incidents. As a result,
children’s self-esteem and confidence would be increased, making them well-mannered
members of society.
In conclusion, although personal issues and long-term oppression could negatively
impact daily attitudes, solutions including better long-term childcare or self-discipline
strategies would promote appropriate manners. In my opinion, the situation would be
improved greatly within the next 10 years if these ideas were implemented.

EXAMPLE
Recently, there has been an alarming trend of students struggling to focus at school. This
can be explained by the popularity of social media applications and rigid adherence to a
traditional teaching approach, and I believe the resolute actions proposed in this essay
offer potential improvements.
To begin with, the aforementioned problem has roots in two main factors. The first one
is distractions from social networking applications. Facebook and Instagram, for
instance, purposefully strive for consistent engagement through positive reinforcement
by pushing real-time updates on friends and viral videos that young users often find
difficult to ignore during lessons. Another sound explanation is the monotony of
classrooms. Many lectures lack relevance to real life, endorsing a repetitive course of

tedious theoretical assignments and lectures while failing to motivate the students with
varied content.
To address the underlying causes, I would propose two solutions. Firstly, schools should
impose a complete ban of portable devices in classrooms. All personal handsets could
be stored in a secure room, labelled properly to be returned to their owners after class
ends. This would effectively block the stream of potential distractions from online
networking sites. Secondly, educators should redesign lecture content to be more
practical. For example, business schools could work in collaboration with enterprises to
incorporate factual case studies and engaging biographical material about
entrepreneurs. Once engaged, these students will be more likely to focus more fully on
their studies, ensuring higher chances of success after graduation.
In conclusion, a great number of students nowadays pay little attention at school due to
the advent of social media platforms and lessons largely irrelevant to their needs.
However, if schools adopt handset-free classroom policies and modernize the curriculum,
students will become more attentive.

EXAMPLE
When it comes to parenting, there has been long-standing discourse over whether
children should be allowed to make mistakes. While some would argue that parents
should not let their children make mistakes, I contend that mistakes are vital to fostering
in children a greater sense of responsibility.
Adults should take a preventive approach to their children making mistakes if it is aimed
at expediting the learning process. An adult can comprehensively instruct a child on how
to do a particular task properly, eliminating the need for correction and re-learning. To
give an example, children in China are diligently guided by their teachers in solving math
problems using standardised methods developed by math professors working for the
Ministry of Education. These methods have been proven effective in increasing rates of
correct answers, allowing school teachers to move on to the next lesson more speedily.
That at least partly explains why Chinese schoolchildren can solve some complex math
problems by the end of primary school.
However, allowing children to make mistakes is developmentally better as it instills
greater personal responsibility. For instance, when a child fails a test in school since he
has not revised his lessons thoroughly, that child should face the consequences of his
failure which might include low grades and detention. Hence the child learns that he

should be better prepared for the next test. Without their parents interfering to prevent
failures from happening, children cannot accept ownership of the situation and take
corrective measures to address it. As a result, they are likely to become upstanding adults
who are accountable for their own behaviours, striving to be their best to solve their own
problems.
In conclusion, although preventing children from making mistakes can be a valid
parenting approach to an extent, I hold firm to my belief that children should be allowed
to experience failures to learn meaningful lessons. Thus, parents should be more relaxed
with their children whenever they make an error to allow them to better learn and grow.

EXAMPLE
Recently, there have been more parents choosing to educate their children at home rather than
having them taught at school. While there are clear disadvantages to homeschooling, I think they
are largely outweighed by the advantages of a personalized curriculum for the child and the
strengthening of bonds between children and their parents.
Admittedly, there are clear disadvantages to homeschooling such as potential deficiency in social
skills and lack of accreditation. Firstly, children who are taught at home often lack essential social
skills. Indeed, they can only interact with their immediate family and not make new friends. This
context deprives them of the opportunity to interact with others and thus many children will
likely have trouble behaving well in social situations. Secondly, homeschooled children
sometimes struggle to attain accredited qualifications to enter tertiary education institutions. As
parents are not authorized to issue diplomas like educational ministries, they will have difficulty
in applying for university since many institutions such as those in Vietnam only accept diplomas
that have been certified by the ministry of education. Thus, homeschooled children will likely
have more limited opportunities to pursue tertiary education and build a successful career.
However, the advantages of homeschooling such as a personalized curriculum and stronger
bonds between parents and their children cannot be ignored. Firstly, parents can construct a

personalized curriculum that suits the needs and strengths of their children. For example, there
were media reports recently about a homeschooled child from Japan who was able to solve
complex calculus equations in under 30 seconds as the curriculum his parents had devised was
centered around developing his math skills. Secondly, parents can forge a stronger bond with
their children while teaching. Personally, teaching their children can allow parents to engage in
meaningful learning activities and spend more time with their children, as opposed to the few
hours they have in the evening if their children are sent to school. Consequently, they can be
more understanding and patient with their child, strengthening the familial relationship between
parents and offspring.
In conclusion, I contend that the advantages of a personalized curriculum and stronger familial
bonds between parents and their progeny outweigh any perceived disadvantages inherent in
homeschooling. It is advisable that the government implement policies that grant parents the
authority to issue homeschooling diplomas that can be accepted by universities and colleges
alike.
