LESSON 1: NATURALLY AND REPEATEDLY

Now, you will use academic vocabulary in REAL LIFE, naturally and repeatedly. See the
word "naturally" and "repeatedly"? These are vitally important (1) for the success of
learning vocabulary in a short period of time. Therefore, do not take them lightly (2)
These two above phrases are the very first two academic phrases that you are gonna
learn. You will see them every so often (3) as you go through the course. Why do you
have to see them again? Remember repetition? It's key. It's cực kỳ quan trọng (1). That's
why you will have to see them over and over again, coupled with (4) new phrases. This
will, of course, produce desirable learning outcomes (5) since you will familiarize
yourself (6) with nhiều (7) useful vocab that you will finally have a chance to use in
formal writing. In conclusion, you have already learned seven cực kỳ quan trọng
phrases that không thể xem nhẹ in academic writing. You will see more cực kỳ quan
trọng ones later on because this is what this course is all about.

LESSON 2: SHOULD STUDENTS WEAR UNIFORM?

What do you think? Should students wear uniform?

This is such a classic essay question, not unprecedented at all. It's so basic that everyone
wants to take it as an example to illustrate their point (8) in essay writing. The answer
to that question can be yes or no depending on what view you want to take. Whether
students should wear uniform or not does not have anything to do with (9) our current
lives. Remember our job is to choose a viewpoint and answer that and then move on with
life. Nobody cares so you don't need to worry about any essay questions from now on.
Just answer and that's it. No right or wrong answer.

Okay, I guess you may have nhiều ideas in your mind right now as this is an extremely
easy topic. To me, the answer to that is NO. I don't think students should wear uniform
because

1. That will compromise (10) their individuality (11).

2. Not every student likes it

3. Uniforms are not usually of good quality (12)

Or I can say YES if I agree if I want to. Either way, I don't care and neither should you.
No one cares if they wear uniform or not, you can control that. The same goes for other
topics (13), don't be scared, any idea is a good idea. The choice is all yours.

LESSON 3: IS MARKETING GOOD OR BAD?

What is your thought on that?


All too often, people think marketing is evil and deceptive. But that is not necessarily
true (14). Marketing links products of value (15) with those who are not aware of its
existence (16). Most products you buy on a daily basis (17) are facilitated (18) by nhiều
marketing activities. And you like these products. If Apple did not do marketing well,
nobody would buy their products, irrespective of (19) how high value they are of.
Therefore, marketing is not only good but cực kỳ quan trọng and we should not xem
nhẹ.
Without the existence of (20) marketing, it would be detrimental (21) to the economy
because products would not match customers' needs. Businesses would suffer losses
(22) and customers would lose the chance (23) to improve their life by using these
products. We, therefore, could imply (24) that the health of any economy relies heavily
(25) on marketing activities.
All in all, marketing should be perceived (25) as good if not highly beneficial (26). We
should do more and more marketing to làm thuận lợi our economy.

3
LESSON 4: IS TOURISM GOOD OR BAD?

What's your thought on this?


Some might say tourism is not good as he or she has trouble seeing any economic
activities involved. That is why it is không hẳn đã đúng. Tourism is cực kỳ có lợi to
the economy, bất chấp its kind. A country with a high degree of (27) tourism làm thuận
lợi economic activities as people are motivated (28) to work hard to serve foreigners and
make money from catering food (29) and rendering services (30). These activities
are cực kỳ quan trọng to create more value to the society (31) they are being a part of.
Just like when you are beautiful, people are more likely to (32) associate with (33) you,
so you can greatly benefit from that (34). Tương tự cho a country, if a country is
beautiful enough to attract tourists, they will make money and as they make more money,
they can spend and invest the money. Spending and investing làm thuận lợi the growth
of a country and that cannot xem nhẹ.
Therefore, even though tourism may not be as cực kỳ có lợi as it appears, it is cực kỳ
quan trọng for everyone.

4
LESSON 5: SHOULD YOU DOWNLOAD ILLEGALLY?

You and I may have downloaded movies, music and books online without paying a single
penny. What it's called in academic language is copyright infringement (35), which
indicates we are violating the copyright law. Movies, music and books are
called intellectual property (36) and if we use them without the express permission
(37) from the creators. We can be fined and even imprisoned for that.
However, it is safe to say (38) the likelihood of you getting caught is very slim
(39). That is why people are abusing it and download other's sở hữu trí tuệ without even
considering any ethical issues (40). That's why corporations are trying to impart strong
morals (41) to Internet citizens and make them aware and thus pay their money. Without
the existence of profits (42), they would not be thúc đẩy to create and invent. You and
I, as a result (43), would not have any awesome movies to entertain or amazing books to
read. Ultimately, the society as we know it would inevitably (44) come to an end. That's
serious, isn't it?
But don't worry. It would never happen in any period of time down the road (45). Just a
message for you to consider your morals before you embark on (46) downloading any sở
hữu trí tuệ. You might never get caught. But is it ethically acceptable (47) to do? It's all
up to you to decide, my friend.

5
LESSON 6: IS GLOBAL WARMING REAL?

We hear about global warming on a daily basis (48). Let's face it, our comfort has nhiều
mối liên quan đến the temperature. There is sufficient evidence to infer that (49) those
living in a country with hot temperature are more likely to express anger than those living
in cooler regions. But is global warming a real issue? Surprisingly enough, some says it
is, I bet you do. But many people do not believe in the concept of global warming.
Yes, believe it or not, a lot of people refuse to believe in that. They are skeptic (50). It's
hard to convince a người theo chủ nghĩa hoài nghi. They are not easy to believe in
anything.

There are many reasons behind the skepticism. It might be personal experience. You
don't believe in climate change because you don't feel any change yet. It might be you
think news and reports nowadays are biased (52) so cannot be trusted. It might simply be
you don't care whether or not it's real because you don't have control anyway.
Statistically speaking (53), global warming or climate change is a real phenomenon
(54) and should not xem nhẹ. Learning about it is cực kỳ quan trọng to our daily lives
since they are closely related (55). We, as modern citizens, can simply take steps to
create a healthier living environment by growing trees, saving energy, and educating
other people to reduce chủ nghĩa hoài nghi.

6
LESSON 7: HACKING YOUR WRITING IDEA

Every writing can involve “the governments” and “the environment”. Whether you get to
write about food, the universe, tourism or puppies, there is always room for (56) the
governments and the environment.
Whenever you are stuck, don't forget the governments and the environment. Give me any
examples. Should smoking be banned? Okay, too easy. Another one. Should history
course be mandatory (57)? The governments will decide if it's mandatory or not. So it
involves the governments. The environment is affected because we can acknowledge
(58) the climate change over time and act accordingly (59) for the future. As can be
observed (60), the likelihood that they will appear in your writing is quite high so you
can clearly take advantage of (61) them, bất chấp topics, without làm mất the
mark. Time is scarce (62) and this simple hack will save you a great deal of time
wandering around to find ideas.
When it comes to (63) essay, just remember the governments and the environment are
our best friends.

7
LESSON 8: WHY IS IT THE GOVERNMENTS ?
Why? I'm glad you ask. Because it ám chỉ your knowledgeability. Khi nói về 'the
governments', there are nhiều government bodies (64) administering (65) a variety of
(66) economic and societal activities (67). Okay, cực kỳ quan trọng activities. Are you
happy?
In Canada, there are three levels of governments, which are federal, provincial
and municipal (68). They carry out different policies (69) and thực hiện dịch vụ that
are liên quan mật thiết to the citizens.

There are also government agencies (70) from the U.S. such as the FBI, CIA, IRS, NSA,
NASA and so on. They serve their own distinct and specialized functions (71). To be
able to work there, you need to reach a certain level (72) of intelligence and expertise
(73) because the job requirement is excessively demanding (74). But that doesn't mean
you can't if you really want to because the khả năng of getting a job there is just slim,
not zero. Therefore, if you want to, you should embark on (75) studying English now
because it's definitely a necessity (76) for your success, bất chấp what field you are
pursuing.
So now you know the governments are not as simple as it sounds (77). It's actually much
broader than one can expect (78).

8
LESSON 9: SHOULD YOU PAY TAXES?
Do you like to pay taxes? No, of course. But do you like to receive social welfare (79)?
The answer is Yes.
But where does phúc lợi xã hội come from? It comes from your money, and mine as
well. Yeah, nothing is FREE, I know. Taxes are levied (or) imposed (80) on each and
every one of us if we earn income, known as personal income tax. Taxes are also đánh
on corporations, known as corporate income tax. There are also sales taxes (or VAT in
Vietnam). It means, we as customers have to pay extra money as sales tax (or VAT)
when we purchase certain classes of goods and/or services (81) in the marketplace.
Theoretically speaking (82), không có sự tồn tại của taxes, we cannot enjoy phúc lợi
xã hội such as social benefits, health care, public transit (83), police, military & defense,
etc. Taxation is a complicated matter (84) for ordinary citizens (85) like us. You only
need to understand that the governments đánh different tax rates to different income
groups. People with higher income are đánh with higher tax and vice versa. Does it make
sense to you?
You can avoid tax but do not evade tax. Tax avoidance (86) is a legal way to reduce tax
liability (87). Tax evasion (88) is a crime, which means you don't pay the amount of
taxes that you are supposed to pay.

9
LESSON 10 : SHOULD YOU HAVE PET?
What an expensive question!
Yet, very entertaining! The first word comes to my head. Khi nói về pet is
always companionship (89). Pets like dogs are companion animals, bestowing a lot of
benefits (90) up on their owners and also causing nhiều problems. Raising a pet might
look easy at first but it actually involves a great deal of responsibility
(91). But statistically speaking, it seems people having pets are thường có khả năng cao
hơn be happier than those who do not. Based on this fact (92), I guess you might
consider adopting a pet (93) for your own. However, you may need to think twice
(94) because as I mentioned, a coin has two sides (95).
Pet accessories (96) and food may cost more than one can mong đợi. Also of
importance (97), hygienic care (98) and cleaning need to be taken into account. Of
course, if you have money but no time, dog grooming service (99) might be an ideal
solution (100). Khi nói về food, raw or undercooked pet food might pose potential
health risks (101) to your pet so should not xem nhẹ.
Overall, pets can give you great love and affection (102) by their playful personalities
(103), which make you happy. Just be aware that problems won't automatically go away
when the time comes.

10
LESSON 11 :WHAT YOU EAT MAY EITHER MAKE OR BREAK YOU?

In today fast-paced life (104), are you aware of what you eat everyday? If you are, then
good for you. If you aren't, then shame on you. HAHA.
In fact, the good news is following a healthy eating habit is not as khó như nhiều người
nghĩ. There is a misconception that eating healthy làm mất the taste, significantly.
However, it is không hẳn đã đúng since we get accustomed to (105) the taste over time.
Salt and sugar are always the enemies of any healthy dietary plans (106). Salt increases
the risk (107) of nhiều diseases, such as high blood pressure. Sugar is linked to
(108) heart diseases, obesity and diabetes. Too much salt and sugar can put your health
in jeopardy (109) and even cause death. Therefore, it is cực kỳ quan trọng that we need
to track our sugar or salt consumption (110)to ensure it is at the acceptable levels.
Whole food (111), such as vegetables, meats, eggs, beans, seeds, milk are favored by
nutritional scientists compared to processed food (112) like canned food, burgers or
donuts. Nutrient-dense food like nuts, seeds or herbs are believed to guard against
(113) many diseases. These are also considered meat alternatives (114) because of the
richness in protein.
All in all, healthy eating is the backbone of a good life. Whenever you do the grocery
shopping (115), don't forget to read food labels (116)

11
LESSON 12 : GLOBALIZATION IS WORTH IT

What do you think about globalization? You might have heard enough about all the great
things of globalization. But there's lousy aspects as well, more on that later. This topic
will focus on why globalization is worth it.
First, globalization has nhiều mối liên quan promoting (117) cultural intermingling
(118). That is, people from different parts of the world mingle (119)together, creating
what it's called, cultural diversity (120). Thanks to (121) globalization, we can live in a
society where anyone of us can have opportunities to learn more about other cultures
without traveling aboard. By hòa trộn with one another, we tend to tolerate each other's
differences (122) and thereby form an egalitarian society (123) where all people are
treated equally.
Also of importance, globalization làm thuận lợi communication worldwide, thereby
increasing the flows of information. This helps businesses operate in a much efficient
manner as they are fed with timely information to make less arbitrary decisions (124).
In addition, globalization làm thuận lợi competition between countries and kết quả
là reduces prices. Needless to say, lower prices mang lại lợi ích to lớn cho consumers
including us. Low-income people (125)will finally have access to goods and
services that would not have been available to them không có sư tồn tại
của globalization.

12
LESSON 13 : GLOBALIZATION IN THE EYES OF OPPONENTS

Although the benefits of globalization appear very pronounced (126), not everyone
agrees globalization offers net positive benefit (127). In the eyes of opponents,
globalization can also be fraught with pitfalls (128).
First, a number of developed countries have witnessed job loss oversea (129), also
known as offshore outsourcing (130). This real phenomenon can be explained by
looking at the wide discrepancy (131) in wages between developed and developing
nations. For example, corporations like Apple have shifted millions of jobs oversea in an
attempt to (132) reduce costs of production, making millions of American workers
suffer.
Opponents also believe globalization largely contributes (133) to income inequality
(134), whereby the rich get much richer and the poor can't get ahead. This discrepancy in
income poses many potential problems (135) to the economy. Nhiều policies have been
carried out to narrow the gap (136) but they do not seem to work as well as expected
thus far.
Globalization can also pose problems (137) like spreading infectious diseases (138) as
traveling is now a lot more frequent than before. In addition, corporations have
opportunities to get around rules and regulations (139) as they can choose which
countries to operate in.

13
LESSON 14 : RELAX

Your success heavily relies on repetition.


A high degree of repetition will make a difference in your proficiency in using those
vocabularies.
A high degree of repetition will make everything possible.
A high degree of repetition is not đơn giản như mọi người nghĩ.
A high degree of repetition bestows nhiều benefits upon you.
A high degree of repetition implants firmly all the toughest vocab into your head with
ease.
A high degree of repetition is bắt buộc.
A high degree of repetition is not a complicated matter, but it is a serious matter.
A high degree of repetition offers nhiều ideal solutions to successful essay writing.
A high degree of repetition công nhận the fact that practice is key and is cực kỳ quan
trọng and is not supposed to be xem nhẹ.
A high degree of repetition involves a great deal of responsibility.
Khi nói về a high degree of repetition, even người theo chủ nghĩa hoài nghi acknowledge
its usefulness.
Khi nói về a high degree of repetition, you have just reviewed nhiều vocab like right now
in almost no time.

14
LESSON 15 : DEALTH PENALTY
Criminal punishment is an indispensable way to deter the commitment of crimes (140).
However, whether capital punishment (141) should be practiced by the society remains
a highly controversial issue (142). What is your thought on that? Okay, I know it's hard
to say. That's why it's một vấn đề gây tranh cãi.
It should be công nhận that tử hình is very cost-effective (143) as the governments don't
have to provide food and 'accommodation' to criminals for the rest of their lives in prison.
Also very imperative (144) is the fact that tử hình proves the law system is strong
enough to deter crimes. That way, innocent citizens like us can feel safe walking around
the city at night without worrying we are surrounded by nhiều imminent threats (145)
that could happen any moment.
Opponents, on the other hand, offer much benevolent (146) thoughts on capital
punishment, saying it is an unethical and evil way (147) to ngăn chặn crimes. Clearly,
Buddism doesn't support death penalty. There's also some alternatives (148) to capital
punishment such as providing education or therapy in an attempt to give the criminal a
chance to start a new life. Trên lý thuyết, they may work but the costs to implement
(149) can be prohibitively high (150).
Whether capital punishment should or should not remain legal depends heavily on the
view of a particular society. However, it's an toàn khi nói rằng the governments need to
strike a balance (151) in order to ensure that illegal activities are ngăn chặn in ways
that the society would accept

15
LESSON 16 : DRUG LEGALIZATION

Whether drugs should be legalized remains a một vấn đề gây tranh cãi. Do you think
drug legalization will offer lợi ích nhiều hơn tác hại if it comes into play (152)?
It should be acknowledged that drug trafficking (153) is one of the most lucrative
underground businesses (154) in the world. Best of all, drug traffickers don't have to
pay a single penny of taxes to the governments. How amazing! Therefore, it becomes
clear (155) if drug legalization comes into play, the governments could collect a huge
amount of money in tax revenue.
But what's in it for us? Drug legalization would also be fraught with pitfalls. People
under the influence of drugs, especially certain substances involving psychoactive drugs
(156), are significantly có khả năng cao commit crimes as they lack capacity to control
their behavior. Obviously, drug consumption is mối liên hệ tới crime rates so this cannot
xem nhẹ.
Another inevitable (157) pitfall of drug is that it decreases work productivity in the long
run. Drug consumption (158) will không thể tránh khỏi lead to drug addiction (159).
Once addicted, without the consumption of drugs, the addict cannot work and think
properly as usual.
How the governments can strike the cân bằng between benefits and drawbacks has
remained a long-debated topic. Time will tell if drug legalization results in lợi ích nhiều
hơn tác hại to the society as a whole.

16
LESSON 17 : MAINSTREAM MEDIA – Truyền thông chinh thống

Mainstream media (160) and alternative media- phương tiện truyền thông không mang
tính truyền thống (161) are both media but in two different forms. More on alternative
media later, this topic will focus your attention on mainstream media.
We are fed with the information (162) from various sources hàng ngày. One of the
major source is mainstream media including traditional television or news. VnExpress,
DanTri, Kenh14, and VTV are prime examples (163) of mainstream media. Yes, they
feed readers and audience with a great deal of information about events happening
around us. Nevertheless, whether the information is highly credible (164), reflecting the
true reality, remains questionable in the eyes of many media người theo chủ nghĩa hoài
nghi, myself included.
Người theo chủ nghĩa hoài nghi never trust anything, I know. But the media nowadays
is highly manipulative (165). Mainstream media is able to control the sentiments (166)
of the entire society by disseminating information (167) it crafts for various hidden
purposes. In any societies, whoever controls the media, which also means controls the
information, has the most power. In other words, news providing companies are more
powerful than one can expect. You may be laughing at your Chinese fellows as they are
controlled by the government-owned media. But look at us, look at all sorts of people
around us. Aren't we thinking and acting basically the same way?
Therefore, one should keep a hoài nghi mindset (168) as Khi nói về information from
mainstream media, it's likely not free of bias.

17
LESSON 18 : ALTERNATIVE MEDIA

Alternative media (169) does not come from any official sources and usually does not
have high operating budget like mainstream media. In Vietnam, it's hard to find any
pure alternative media since the media is controlled by the governments. Different
viewpoints may result in prosecution by the governments. One wouldn't dare to express
his or her thoughts that challenge the governments' point of view (170)
In numerous developed nations, alternative media appears much more prevalent. Many of
them are committed to catering news (171) that reflects the truth since many people have
lost faith (172) in the credibility of mainstream media. Alternative media exists to thu
hẹp khoảng cách between the truth and the fake one, supposedly told by mainstream
media.
As mentioned, alternative media is not funded by the governments, therefore it has to
find funding sources (173) from corporations, mostly in the sponsorship form, wherein
corporations can display their brand names whenever the news is being broadcast (174).
But that doesn't mean alternative media is completely free of thiên lệch. They can
formulate fake news (175) as well to control the society's sentiments to serve their
purpose (176) just like mainstream media.
All in all, it is an toàn khi nói rằng alternative media has less thiên lệch than the
mainstream counterpart (176) since many of them are committed to revealing the truth
to engage audience as their primary purpose (177).

18
LESSON 19 : EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE 1 – Cuộc sống ngoài trái đất

Do you believe in life beyond our solar system? Extraterrestrial life (178). Although we
haven't had any solid evidence (179) about their existence, many still believe
extraterrestrial life actually exist. Let's discuss further.
One thing that needs to be taken into consideration (180) is that the distances between
stars and galaxies are so vast. Even if there's extraterrestrial civilizations (181), khả
năng that they will contact us is rất thấp. The nearest star to our sun is 4 light years
away. It doesn't sound like a lot but let's say we travel at the speed of Voyager I - the
fastest spacecraft ever created by humans, it would still take a whopping 40,000 years to
reach it. If you read the news, there have been many exoplanets (182) that are believed to
have favorable conditions (183) to harbor lives (184) just like Earth. The nearest one is
20 light years away. Oh, just 20 years. No big deal. But again, if we travel at the fastest
speed there is, it would take more than 300,000 years to reach it.
I'm sorry to spill the beans, but given the brief lifespan (185) of the human race and vast
distances between stars and galaxies, we're not likely to meet our extraterrestrial friends
anytime soon. So if you are a strong believer (186) in extraterrestrial life, watching sci-
fi movies could be an giải pháp lý tưởng to satiate your curiosity (187).

19
LESSON 20 : EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE 2

But that is not the end of it. Chances are (188) you might have heard about some
anomalies (189) in the news, either from mainstream or alternative media. There are
things that have not been deciphered (190) yet by science. Conspiracy theorists (191)
are those who fill the gap by saying these vật dị thường are created by extraterrestrial
civilizations visiting us.
Crop circles are a ví dụ tiêu biểu of these vật dị thường that we can actually see by
eyes. Although there is not enough evidence to conclude that crop circles are a form of
extraterrestrial message to us, the precision and complexity of these crop circles are far
beyond human's comprehension (192). There are hundreds if not thousands of them
appearing in crops around the world and we still don't know why and how.
Many people claimed they have come into contact (193) with aliens. Some even said
they were kidnapped by ones. Whether these stories are fictitious (194) or not remains
một vấn đề gây tranh cãi.
Now it's your part. Do you think these vật dị thường are simply hoaxes (195) created
pranksters? Or do you think these actually involve extraterrestrial life forms who want
to send us a message?
If the latter is true. I think the alien message would be decoded as “please study hard to
pass the exam”.

20
LESSON 21 : ABORTION
This might be a good topic for you. But beware, abortion is a very controversial topic
given the number of perspectives involved. So what? Let's jump right in.
Whenever you discuss abortion with anyone, there are two diverging views (196) you
need to know: Pro-life and pro-choice (197). Pro-life people support the life of the
unborn (198), also known as human fetus (199). They maintain that human fetus has
the right to live just like a human being. Abortion is therefore considered malevolent
(200) just like murder, which is the key argument (201) of pro-life to propose legal
restrictions against (202) abortion.
Pro-choice, on the other hand, favor the reproduction rights (203) of the mothers. They
maintain that it is không thể tránh khỏi for women to have unintended pregnancies
(204). In addition, human fetus lacks the basis (205) to be treated as a human being.
They believe it should be considered part of a woman's body and therefore, she should
have full legal rights to make her own maternal choices (206)
There is no exact answer to the question whether or not abortion is legal or ethical since
the arguments from two sides are both valid to some degree (207). Pro-choice favor the
right of the living person whereas pro-life uphold the reverence (208) for any human
life, including the unborn. Lawmakers (209) will be the ones who make the final
decision regarding the legality of abortion.

21
LESSON 22 : NUCLEAR POWER

Khi nói về nuclear power (210), the word 'nuclear' itself carries some negative
connotations (211). Much is due to media portrayals (212). However, in the eyes of
scientists, the word 'nuclear' carries both negative and positive nghĩa rộng, mainly
positive. So it appears there are two quan điểm khác nhau regarding the năng lượng
hạt nhân issue.
According to scientists, năng lượng hạt nhân is one of the most sustainable energy
sources (213) in the planet that significantly reduces carbon emissions (214), the
primary cause (215) of the greenhouse effect. Nuclear power is believed to be cực kỳ có
lợi if used for civilian purposes (215), but highly có hại if used for military ones.
Based on my observation, Western nations are the ones who use nuclear power
primarily for civilian purposes. Countries like Iran or North Korea are well known for its
use of nuclear power for military purpose such as nuclear weapon proliferation (216),
posing sắp xảy ra threats to national security (217).
The risk of radioactive waste (218) to the environment also needs to be taken into
consideration, given the deleterious effects (219) it has on the ecological community
(220) inhabiting (221) near the affected regions.

22
LESSON 23 : THE FUTURE OF OIL
Oil or crude oil is a non-renewable energy resource extracted (222) by drilling a very
long hole underground, known as oil drilling (223). It sounds pretty simple but oil
drilling or oil extraction is actually a very long and complicated process. After that it's
still not the end of the story. Oil has to be refined (224) by an oil refinery (225) into
gasoline or diesel fuel so they can be consumed by humans. Lọc oil is a long,
complicated and costly process, too. Just to remind you there is an oil refinery by the
name of Dung Quat in Quang Ngai, Vietnam.
Because oil is non-renewable, it will không thể tránh khỏi run out over the next 30
years according to an estimate. In fact, numerous nations are deeply concerned about the
future of oil as most of their household and industrial activities consume oil or oil
products. In other words, they are highly dependent on oil, particularly foreign oil. Even
foreign oil wells (226) are on the verge of (227) exhaustion. Therefore, many countries
need to take environmental actions (228) to address the future of oil. Switching to a
new sustainable source of energy sounds like an biện pháp lý tưởng, but easier said than
done.

23
LESSON 24 : WIND AND SOLAR ENERGY

So I bet you have heard nhiều essayists screaming about using wind and solar energy
instead of fossil fuels. Yes, they're free, cleaner, and abundant. But do you know why the
hell wind and solar energy still do not prevail (229)?
Although sunlight and wind are free, the process of turning them into usable energy is
prohibitively expensive (230). Yes, the cost of oil extraction is supposed to be high, but
it is still nothing compared to the cost of processing sunlight and wind. In fact, solar
energy and wind are very intermittent (231) and dilute (232). Just remember whenever
you have an essay about renewable energy, gián đoạn and loãng are the terms that best
describe these energy sources and thereby showcase your knowledge.
Solar and wind energy are gián đoạn or discontinuous. Unlike oil or gas, they cannot be
stored. Therefore, no sun or no wind simply means the flows of energy are disrupted
(233), which means all human activities are also seriously ngắt quãng.
Solar and wind energy are dilute or weak. For solar one, you need to use many large
solar panels (234) and a lot of other materials to harness enough energy (235) to make
it useful.
Theoretically speaking, solar and wind energy offer a great deal of benefits to both men
and the environment. In actuality, reaping those benefits is not easy, meriting complex
calculations and considerations
