Question: Some people think that hosting international sports events is good for the
country, while some people think it is bad. Discuss both views and state your opinion.

ANSWER:

International sporting events have become increasingly common in recent decades.


While some people reckon that host countries might have to deal with a sudden surge in
crime or involve themselves in an exhausting preparation process, more importantly I
believe they can take the opportunity to boost tourism.

To begin with, although events such as these are a great opportunity for countries to gain
global exposure, there are present significant challenges. Firstly, records have shown
that there is a twofold increase in crimes such as prostitution and petty theft when a
country organises an event such as the World Cup or the Olympics. Furthermore, the
process of preparing for these events is often demanding. For the World Cup 2014, it
took Brazil five years to revitalise its cities and construct various facilities including
stadiums and indoor athletics arenas to meet the world-class standard set by FIFA.

On the other hand, I am of the opinion that international sporting games can potentially
stimulate the tourism sector. By being the host, a country is able to attract a large array
of athletes and their supporters from all around the world. This sudden increase in
visitors will likely proliferate the sales of products and services such as accommodation
and transportation within the period of the events. In the longer term, it is a great chance
for the host nations to promote their culture on a global stage. For example, since the
pictures of beautifully garnished Vietnamese dishes made headlines during the SEA
Games in 2003, Vietnam has been branded as the “Kitchen of the world” and a must
visit destination for global food lovers. This obviously does wonders for the Vietnamese
economy.

In conclusion, although sports events come at the expense of a few immediate problems,
the benefits of boosted gross sales and cultural promotion are of greater significance. In
my opinion, host nations can also consider the option of sharing an event with a
neighboring country to spread the risk and still enjoy the lucrative long term benefits.

Question: Some people think students should study the science of food and how to
prepare it. Others think students should spend time on important subjects. Discuss both
views and give your opinion.

ANSWER:

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.

Question: In some countries, more and more adults are continuing to live with their
parents even after they have completed education and found jobs. Do the advantages
outweigh the disadvantages?
ANSWER:
In recent years, the number of adults still living with their parents has been on the rise
due to recent economic upheaval. While some argue that this trend helps cement
relationships between members of a family, I believe it is largely disadvantageous due
to the growing dependence of children on their guardians.
On the one hand, staying under the same roof can help forge stronger bonds between
family members. One of the primary reasons for this is there are abundant opportunities
for regular face-to-face interactions and intimate conversations. For example, a newly
graduated student can get advice, discuss problems at work, and confide possible
setbacks to his parents. This kind of conversation will likely help build confidence which
is widely regarded as a key to success in an increasingly competitive business world.
This ideal scenario seems less likely if, however, the son is settling down in a new home,
with a different timetable from members of his family and only speaking with his parents
on occasion over the phone.
On the other hand, I am firmly of the opinion that those who refuse to live on their own
are more likely to experience a prolonged period of immaturity. Firstly, those who
remain at home are usually exempt from mundane tasks such as preparing meals, doing
laundry and tidying their rooms. Consequently, they are likely to be dependent on their
parents and have trouble developing the capacity for self-reliance that is essential for
personal and career success. It will be more difficult for them to make their own well-
informed, responsible decisions. Indeed, many helicopter parents, such as those in
Vietnam, closely monitor their children, failing to guide them properly in how to gather
relevant information, and evaluate possible options for a final sound decision. Both of
these failures are likely to have detrimental effects, preventing many from leading a self-
sufficient life.
In conclusion, although young adults might be better supported emotionally in staying
home, over-reliance on one’s parents is not a wise path towards becoming a
welladjusted, high-functioning member of society. In my opinion, teenagers should start
taking full responsibility for their lives at the age of 18.

Question: Many people think there is an increase of antisocial behavior and a lack of
respect to others. What do you think are the causes of this and how to improve the
situation?

ANSWER:

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 self-esteem is another cause, which usually stems from family problems or school
bullying. Indeed, 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.

Question: Some people say free time activities for children should be organized by
parents. Others say that children should be free to choose what they do in their free
time. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

ANSWER:
It is sometimes argued that parents can effectively plan their children’s free time
activities thanks to their experience and maturity. However, I am of the opinion that
letting them be more autonomous better nurtures their inborn talents.

On the one hand, parents are well-positioned to decide on the most productive leisure
activities. This argument claims that parents are better equipped with the requisite
knowledge acquired from parenting courses and online communities. On these
platforms, they can learn about not only the educational impacts of various recreational
activities but also how to organize them properly. For example, the Facebook group
“We Trek” provides informative posts on the benefits of camping trips, a list of the
necessary equipment and instructions pertaining to campsite set-up. By following
professional instructions, parents can organize an effective camping session,
simultaneously, ensure safety and an educational experience for their children.

On the other hand, I believe that freedom of choice enables children to develop their
unique talents. The majority of young people opt for activities that fascinate them
intrinsically, thus developing an individual interest that their guardians might overlook
or disapprove of. Gaudi, the foremost proponent of the Catalan architectural school, was
allowed to follow his own interests, exploring shapes and patterns in nature during his
childhood. These observations later inspired extraordinary designs such as the Sagrada
Familia that was inspired by and embraces the shape of an ant’s nest. Such a remarkable
and precocious natural talent might have been inadvertently neglected, if his mother had
guided his activities to facilitate a presumably safer and more secure career outside the
humanities in medicine, law, or business.

In conclusion, although parents might be capable of making more informed selections,


children should be made free to follow their own interests. In my opinion, parents ought
to allow kids to juggle multiple roles in diverse settings to organically identify potential
personal professional passions.

Question: Some people think young people should follow the traditions of their society.
Others think that they should be free to behave as individuals. Discuss both views and
give your opinion.

ANSWER:

It is sometimes argued that the traditions of a society are crucial to the cultivation of
well-adjusted adults. However, I would side with those who argue that greater autonomy
better nurtures creativity.

On the one hand, social traditions educate younger people as to have appropriate
manners and morals. This case is exemplified perfectly in the case of Vietnamese
customs and habits. Traditionally minded Vietnamese parents instill in their children the
value of bowing to their seniors, displaying their deep respect and appreciation.
Similarly, teens are raised to be reliable and generous, not capitalizing on the
misfortunes of others for their own advantages. These traditional practices stimulate
young Vietnamese’s global reputation for being professional and cooperative, which
facilitates chances for both friendships and business collaborations.

On the other hand, I am of the opinion that freedom of choice fosters creativity and its
concomitant results in innovation. For instance, many Japanese parents encourage their
offspring to design and wear their own outfits instead of accepting those generally worn
by older generations. This has resulted in many pushing traditional boundaries, mingling
unique costumes and aesthetics inspired by their favorite anime characters, which is
known as “costume play” in Japan. Nowadays, the hobby has evolved into a global
cultural phenomenon and inspired modern fashion designs and performances both on
and off stage. Such an innovative culture might have been inadvertently stymied, if all
Japanese youngsters rigidly followed the tradition of wearing formal Kimonos and
Yukatas.

In conclusion, although traditional standards of behavior are of importance to some


extent, teenagers should be free to shape their own lifestyles. In my opinion,
governments and schools ought to incentivise more platforms for youngsters to present
and discuss novel ideas that can make positive contributions to society.

Question: Many students find it difficult to concentrate or pay attention at school. What
are the reasons? What could be done to solve this problem?

ANSWER:

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,

Question: More and more people no longer read newspapers or watch TV programmes
to get news. They get news about the world through the Internet. Is this a positive or
negative development?

ANSWER:

Many readers of the news have recently switched to online channels. While digital
platforms might facilitate a smoother user experience for readers, I believe that this is a
negative change considering the risks of unreliable information.

On the one hand, the prevalence of news on the Internet can be attributed to a superior
user experience. Indeed, news presented on websites or social networking sites can come
in various forms including infographics and animated videos that enhance the clarity
and readability of the information provided. Leading news corporations such as the BBC
have also enabled visitors to customise the home page, allowing them to enjoy
personalised content or to participate in real-time debates to voice their opinions. By
contrast, all of this can hardly be accomplished in the limits prescribed by television
broadcasts or the hard copies of conventionally printed newspapers.

On the other hand, advocates of traditional news channels maintain that online platforms
should be held responsible for the widespread dissemination of misleading news.
Unauthorised websites such as www.ontheverge.com and www.saveus.com have
proactively bred baseless conspiracy theories related to the side-effects of vaccines.
Some theorists falsely claim that vaccines contain a special type of nanochip capable of
manipulating human thought for the sake of an imaginary and all-powerful ruling elite,
thus convincing many less-discerning members of their audience to join the anti-vaccine
movement. This has unfortunately resulted in thousands of children being unvaccinated,
causing a rise in deadly and preventable diseases such as measles and whooping cough
in the United States, Germany and the UK.

In conclusion, despite the legitimately improved experience provided by online news


channels, I disapprove of news on the Internet due to the increased risk of
misinformation. Governments should take resolute actions to regulate online news
sources and sharing in virtual spaces.

Question: Many people are working longer and longer hours. What are the reasons and
effects?

ANSWER:

Working longer hours is a growing tendency in society nowadays. The primary cause
of this change is excessive workloads and the effects on one’s health and quality of life
are decidedly detrimental.

The need to work additional hours often stems from increasing demand in the
workplace. To keep up with competition in an increasingly globalised marketplace,
employees are expected to assume a high volume of work, often with inadequate staff
levels and support. This has resulted in employees having to work extra hours to
compensate, which is exemplified clearly in IT-related sectors. A program developer in
Vietnam generally spends an average of 10 hours at work per day integrating
complicated software systems, which would not be necessary if he was accompanied by
a colleague.

Extra office hours can adversely affect workers’ health, as well as their personal lives.
First of all, working overtime can lead to a lack of sufficient rest, decrease in energy and
eventually health conditions in extreme cases. This is illustrated in research conducted
in Japanese white-collars workers, who have to sit in their offices for up to 14 hours,
resulting in spinal injuries, arthritis and increased risk of strokes. In addition, as more
time is spent at work, workers necessarily have less time for their loved ones, which can
weaken bonds between family members and friends. As a result, this can generate a
feeling of general dissatisfaction in individuals, potentially becoming a catalyst for
stress and depression in the long run.

In conclusion, extended working hours are associated with increasing demands in the
workplace, preventing employees from leading a healthy and balanced life. Therefore,
I believe governments should enact laws that impose weekly overtime standards for
corporations.

Question: It is important for all towns and cities to have large public outdoor places
like squares and parks. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

ANSWER:

The initiative to promote outdoor spaces in metropolitan areas has gained in popularity
in recent years. Although these public places might result in a minor uptick in crimes, I
personally support such forward-looking policies considering their effect on public
health.

On the one hand, minor infractions might be on the rise in public areas. A clear instance
of this is the case of Nguyen Hue pedestrian square in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Since its public opening in 2018, the square has attracted millions of visitors who enjoy
strolling, gathering with friends and enjoying quality time with family. As visitors are
tightly packed in the space and may be distracted by their friends and family, they have
become easy targets for criminals such as pickpockets. This is not only a loss for the
unfortunate victims but can also damage the image of a safe and hospitable Ho Chi Minh
City.

On the other hand, it is clear to me that outdoor spaces are beneficial to physical health.
There are many parks, gardens and squares that offer an abundance of freely accessible
resources for exercises. For example, those in Hanoi typically provide residents with
exercise equipment and fitness activities which often come free of charge. In addition,
public spaces are generally filled with plants, fostering a greener atmosphere and
offering visitors a refreshing escape from the pollution that they must frequently endure
in densely populated cities. Recent policy research into this area has shown that residents
in the vicinity of public spaces tend to exercise more regularly, thus enjoying overall
better health.

In conclusion, in spite of the threat of petty crimes, I would opine that public spaces
should be encouraged in every city and town to promote healthier lifestyles. It is
therefore advisable that city planners should allocate at least 20 percent of total
development area for green spaces or public areas.

Question: Many students find it difficult to concentrate or pay attention at school. What
are the reasons? What could be done to solve this problem?

ANSWER:
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.

Question: It is now possible for scientists and tourists to travel to remote natural
environments, such as the South pole. Do the advantages of this developmen outweigh
the disadvantages?

ANSWER:

Expeditions to distant isolated destinations have been on the rise recently. While this
can potentially benefit wildlife conservation programmes, I firmly contend that the
development is disadvantageous overall considering the risks to the environment.

On the one hand, both scientific and touristic expeditions can help develop conservation
programmes. Indeed, on-site scientific research conducted at Antarctica has successfully
illuminated the mating habits of many nearly-extinct animal species such as the emperor
penguins thanks to close observation of these species, driving initiatives to boost their
fertility rate two fold. Meanwhile, tourists who visit remote destinations might learn
about the damages of climate change, thus becoming intrinsically motivated to protect
Earth’s fragile ecosystems from further degradation. For example, a campaign to
preserve Himalayan bald eagles was initiated by two Swedish explorers on an expedition
after they eye-witnessed eagle chicks dying of starvation on a far-flung mountain peak.

On the other hand, I believe the threat of pollution these activities pose must be
highlighted. One obvious danger is oil spills from the cruise ships and other forms of
transportation traveling to the remote observation sites. In 2007, a cruise boat heading
to the South Pole struck an iceberg and sank to the ocean floor, causing a diesel fuel
spill that covered 25 square kilometers. Despite enormous efforts from the international
community, the disaster claimed the lives of thousands of sea creatures including many
rare marine birds in less than two weeks. It also resulted in permanent damage to the
Antarctic fauna, algae and plankton, which are the foundation of the local food chain,
disturbing the ecological balance across the entire continent and nearby waters.

In summary, although scientific research and intrepid tourism in remote areas might
partly contribute to conservation breeding efforts, I am of the opinion that they pose
more pressing existential threats to the environment and natural habitats. Therefore, a
complete travel ban should be imposed by the United Nations to preserve the ecological
and biodiversity of these unique environments.

Question: Today different types of robots are developed which are good friends to us
and help us both at home and work. Is this a positive or negative development?

ANSWER:

The prevalence of robots both at home and in the workplace has drawn much debate
recently. While some maintain that robots can serve as companions for those in need, I
believe the development is negative on the whole considering the concomitant rising
unemployment rate.

On the one hand, artificial companions can promote emotional and physical well-being
for the elderly in particular. Clear evidence of this can be seen in the example of the
Japanese caretaker robot “Hirokan”. This robot is equipped with the latest advances in
artificial intelligence and is capable of conducting a thoughtful conversation with an
elderly individual based on its in-depth analysis of his personality, interests and past
events. These heart-warming conversations have proven effective in reducing
loneliness, stress levels and the potential risk of depression among senior Japanese
citizens. In addition, the robot also functions as a caregiver that can physically assist
seniors in performing personal hygiene activities and provides additional stability for
them when walking.

On the other hand, the delegation of various mechanical tasks to robots is likely to give
rise to greater unemployment figures. Currently, large numbers of manual workers are
being replaced by cutting-edge robotics systems in numerous factories around the world.
For instance, thousands of Chinese assembly workers at FoxConn, a major manufacturer
of Apple products, have recently been made redundant after the company adopted a fully
automated process that minimizes the need for a skilled and unskilled human labor
supply. This, in turn, has resulted in a rise in reported crimes including robbery, burglary
and gambling as the jobless workers struggle to earn a living. As more companies
worldwide have adopted similar approaches, automation has become an inevitability
that has to be addressed with proactive corporate and governmental reform.

In conclusion, despite the positives of man-made companions for older segments of the
population, I am firmly of the opinion that the increasing popularity of robots poses a
serious threat to our workforce and society at large. Therefore, governments should
enact laws to curb the rate of automisation, allowing workers to prepare for increased
competition with robots.
