Ex:
Partly agree:
-

It is true that school children are at an impressionable age, and two strong influences on their intelligence
and social development are teachers and parents. While I accept that teachers may have more influence on
the intelligence of their pupils, I would argue that parents probably exert a greater influence on the social
development of their children.

-

It is true that an increasing number of people have serious weight problems. While some argue that raising
the price of fattening foods might help to solve the problem, I only partly agree with this view.

-

It is argued that news coverage should focus more on good news. While I partly agree with this view, I also
consider that bad news should continue to be reported when necessary.

Completely agree:
-

At present, scientific research across the world is carried out and controlled sometimes by governments,
sometimes by private companies. While there are some arguments in favor of scientific research by
corporations, I agree with the view that this should be funded and supervised by the state.

Completely disagree:

-

It is true that in countries which are suffering from high rates of unemployment, it seems hardly worthwhile
to offer education beyond primary level to most pupils. While I accept that this appears logical, I believe that
this is a very narrow perspective, and I completely disagree with the statement.

-

While there is so much human suffering, the spending of resources to protect wild animals presents an ethical
dilemma. However, I disagree with the opinion given, because it is possible to allocate resources intelligently
to benefit both the animal and the human population.

-

Many people consider that the function of a building should be the primary consideration at the design stage.
The appearance of the building from the outside is a relatively unimportant factor. While a building must
serve its intended purpose, I disagree that this is necessarily the most important factor in the design.

-

It is true that stricter punishments will deter many motorists from driving dangerously or carelessly on the

roads. However, I strongly disagree that this is the only way to improve road safety, because there are
alternative measures which would also be effective.

-

It is true that nobody can escape the power of advertising these days, whether this is commercial or online
advertising, or even telemarketing. While some argue that it is a positive part of our lives, I believe that this
is rarely the case.

-

People have different views about whether or not governments should help senior citizens. I completely
disagree with the idea that elderly people should receive no support from the state.

2. Discussion:
Successful sports professionals can earn a great deal more money than people in other important professions.
Some people think this is fully justified while others think it is unfair. Discuss both these views.
-

It is true that succeeding in major sports teams offers greater financial stability than going into important
jobs/careers like lawyers and bankers. While some people think this is unfair, there are good reasons why
professional athletes deserve the money they make.

Many people believe that an effective public transport system is a key component of a modern city. Discuss the
advantages and disadvantages of public transport.
-

Officials in many cities are keen to develop efficient public transport systems. While public transport has many
benefits, there are also some drawbacks which are worth considering.

Many university students live with their families, while others live away from home because their universities are
in different places. What are the advantages and disadvantages of both situations?
-

It is true that, although some university students are able to live with their families while studying in their
home town, others are forced to live away from home in order to pursue their studies. There are advantages
and disadvantages of both these situations.

3. Discussion + Opinion:

Successful sports professionals can earn a great deal more money than people in other important professions.
Some people think this is fully justified while others think it is unfair. Discuss both these views and give your own
opinion.
-

It is true that sports stars often earn huge salaries. While there are some good reasons why this is the case,
I personally believe that it is wrong for these people to be paid more than other professionals.

Several languages are in danger of extinction because they are spoken by very small numbers of people. Some
people say that governments should spend public money on saving these languages, while others believe that
would be a waste of money. Discuss both these views and give your opinion.
-

It is true that some minority languages may disappear in the near future. Although it can be argued that
governments could save money by allowing this to happen, I believe that these languages should be protected
and preserved.

Differences between countries become less evident each year. Nowadays, all over the world people share the same
fashions, advertising, brands, eating habits and TV channels. Do the disadvantages of this trend outweigh the
advantages?
-

It is true that many aspects of culture are becoming increasingly similar throughout the world. Although this
trend has some benefits, I would argue that there are more drawbacks.

In the modern world it is possible to shop, work and communicate with people via the internet and live without
any face-to-face contact with others. Is this a positive or negative development?
-

It is true that in contemporary life people in many parts of the world are able to do their shopping, work and
communicate with each other via the internet. While there are clear positive aspects of this trend, there are
also negative aspects of having less face-to-face contact with other people.

Crime rates tend to be higher in cities than in smaller towns. Explain some possible reasons for this problem, and
suggest some solutions.
-

It is true that cities generally experience higher levels of criminality than towns or villages. There are various
reasons for this phenomenon, but measures could be taken to tackle the problem.

5. 2-part question:
Many people decide on a career path early in their lives and keep to it. This, they argue, leads to a more satisfying
working life. To what extent do you agree with this view? What other things can people do in order to have a
satisfying working life?
-

It is true that some people know from an early age what career they want to pursue, and they are happy to
spend the rest of their lives in the same profession. While I accept that this may suit many people, I believe
that others enjoy changing careers or seeking job satisfaction in different ways.

Nowadays the way many people interact with each other has changed because of technology. In what ways has
technology affected the types of relationships that people make? Has this been a positive or negative
development?
-

It is true that new technologies have had an influence on communication between people. Technology has

affected relationships in various ways, and in my opinion there are both positive and negative effects.

There are many different types of music in the world today. Why do we need music? Is the traditional music of a
country more important than the international music that is heard everywhere nowadays?
-

It is true that a rich variety of musical styles can be found around the world. Music is a vital part of all human
cultures for a range of reasons, and I would argue that traditional music is more important than modern,
international music.

Reasons and Effects

FAMILY
The tradition that the family gets together to eat meals is disappearing. What are the reasons? What are the
impacts?
1. Vocabulary:
It is true that the traditional family mealtime is becoming a thing of the past. There are some reasons which can
be put forward to explain this changing pattern of behavior, and there are significant impacts on family life and
health.
There are two obvious reasons why families no longer share mealtimes as they used to do in the past. Firstly,
children are often too impatient to eat at the table, and parents sometimes allow them to have their meal in
front of the TV or sitting in front of the computer. Secondly, the close-knit family is disappearing in the face of
economic pressures. In single-parent households, or in families with working mothers, it can be almost
impossible to arrange regular times for meals when all the family is together.
The consequences for family life and for children’s health are serious. From the perspective of the family, meals
taken together are an important feature of a stable family background. This stability of family routine is an
essential factor in shaping children’s personality during their formative years. Family mealtimes are a time to
share news, give guidance and to make plans together. In terms of children’s health, family meals were an
opportunity to provide all the family members with a healthier diet, based on wholesome home-made food.
Without this routine, children are sometimes left to have snacks, or to eat junk food at fast food chains. Health
consequences such as obesity and hyperactivity often result when youngsters fail to eat a balanced diet, such
as used to be provided at family mealtimes.
In conclusion, some reasons can be identified for the decline in shared family meals and the impacts are
overwhelmingly negative.
--------------------------------------------Nowadays, it seems that families tend to eat together less frequently. This essay will put forward some
explanations for this trend and an analysis of the potential impacts.
The fact that family members choose not to eat with each other can be attributable to two reasons. Firstly, since

people these days tend to have heavier workloads and more hectic schedules than in the past, sitting down to
share a meal with their family members might not be a convenient choice. Instead, these individuals usually eat
out with their friends, colleagues or business partners near their workplace which can be more suitable for their
timetable. Secondly, the fast food culture of modern life can change people’s eating habits because fast food
can be found everywhere and is usually an inexpensive food choice. For instance, young people in Vietnam often
grab a quick meal after a busy day at work or school, which leads them to skipping meals with their family when
they go home.

The trend has both positive and negative impacts on people. In terms of the benefits, people are able to be much
more flexible with their time. They will not have to show up at a fixed hour to have meals with their family and
can eat whatever and whenever they want. However, in terms of the negative effects, this can lead to a weaker
family bond. If a family continuously eats separately, family members may not be able to share their thoughts,
feelings with each other, and therefore may feel isolated from each other. This will result in a lack of deep family
connection.
In conclusion, the tendency of family members eating separately is mainly caused by the difference in their
schedules or the preference to eat fast food, which can have both positive and negative impacts.

+ Children sometimes are impatient to stay at the table -> parents allow
them to eat watching TV or surfing the Internet
+ They spend more time at work than with family
-> Heavier workload and more hectic schedules
-> The choice of eating out with their colleagues or business partners near
their workplace is more suitable for their timetable
+ Advertisement about fast food has changed people’s eating habits,
especially children
-> Burning temptation of eating this kind of junk food.
-> Many youngsters nowadays grab a quick meal at fast food chain after
their long tired day at school or at work, thereby they skip shared meal with
family
Effects: Negative
+ The lack of closeness/A weaker family bond
-> Family mealtimes = sharing thoughts, stories and experiences, helping
family members understand each other, which plays a vital role in shaping
children’s personalities during their formative years.
-> In other words, the disappearance of close-knit family may have the
most negative influence on children.
+ People are likely to suffer more diseases

=>> It is true that nowadays family members tend to eat together less frequently than they used to do in the past.

There are some factors which can be put forward to explain this tendency, accompanying some potential impacts
as explained below.
The fact that family no longer share mealtimes can be attributable to two main reasons. Firstly, people those days
spend more time at work than with their family. This is obviously true in our highly competitive society, which
requires human to have heavier workload and more hectic schedules. Eating out with colleagues and business
partners near their workplace may be more suitable to their timetable. Secondly, fast food advertising is believed
to play a role in changing people’s eating habits. This is because those advertisements encourage the burning
temptation of consuming this kind of junk food. Many youngsters nowadays grab a quick meal at fast food chain
after their long tired day, and thereby they skip shared meals with family.
The trend has several negative consequences. In term of family connection, eating separately may contribute to
the lack of closeness between members. This can be explained that family mealtimes is the time to share thoughts,
stories, experience as well as give guidance, helping members understanding each other. In term of human health,
if people eat out frequently, they are more likely to suffer a range of diseases from obesity, diabetes to heart+ Website: www.ngocbach.com

related diseases due to unhealthy diet. In the meanwhile, family meals usually provide all members with a wellbalanced diet, based on wholesome home-made food.
In conclusion, there are some reasons associated with the decline in shared family mealtime together, and these
could negatively affect family connection as well as human health.
