Some people think that social networking sites have a huge negative impact on both
individuals and society.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Thanks to the rapid development of technology/ recent scientific and technological advances, the
usage of social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Messenger, Google, and others has
recently expanded dramatically. Many people believe that these websites have many consequences
for both individuals and society. I agree with the statement but to some extent, I do not because of
the following reasons

On the one hand, these websites are detrimental to us. Firstly, because modern social networks
share so much information, the level of privacy we have with the normal citizen is decreasing by the
day. Many studies have found that social media networks such as Facebook or Twitter frequently
steal users' personal information. As a result, if you share too much information with the public,
problems may occur that will never be fixed once the information has been published. Secondly, an
unhealthy lifestyle might result from frequent social media usage. Social media can promote
spending too much time sitting down during the day because it is frequently used on computers or
mobile devices. If you spend more than 180 minutes a day in a sitting position using social media,
this habit may be causing you to become more physically inactive. Inactivity makes you more likely
to become obese.

On the other hand, social media websites have several advantages that cannot be denied. The
opportunity to communicate with people all over the world is one of the most obvious benefits of
using social networking services. You can add someone as a "friend" or "follower" and subscribe to
them at any time, provided you have an Internet connection and a profile has been made. For
instance, some people use Facebook to communicate with family members, contact with high school
classmates, and express their emotions. Even those from countries you have never heard of or seen
before can connect to you.
In conclusion, the use of social networking sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. has
great advantages and disadvantages to both individuals and society. However, the advantages of
social networking sites always outweigh the disadvantages, so the most important thing for
networking site users is that they should consider what is good and what is bad.

I believe the use of social networking sites has increased people's communication confidence.
People feel free to communicate with anyone, wherever in the globe, without having to worry about
anything. However, because of their busy schedules, most people choose to communicate with one
another through technology rather than in person, which shortens their relationships.

2. Some people say that to prevent illness and disease, governments should focus more
on reducing environmental pollution and housing problems.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, a number of diseases are widely spreading such as the Covid-19 pandemic.
Some people claim that governments should concentrate more on reducing environmental
pollution and housing issues in order to avoid illness and disease. I quite agree with the
statement because of the reasons
To begin with, it is undeniable that environmental pollution today can have highly negative
consequences on people, animals, and plants that are challenging to reverse. For example,
someone who lives in a densely populated city like Hanoi or Beijing must constantly cope
with traffic accidents, potential drinking water pollution, and air pollution. People who are
exposed to dangers like this are more likely to suffer from lung illness or another disease.
Perhaps sickness rates would fall if these cities had fewer people and cleaner air. Besides,
 the government must prevent factories from dumping pollutants into the environment.
Another major issue that people nowadays are dealing with is accommodation. One of the
biggest issues facing the world is overpopulation. In order to promote family planning
awareness and create rules to prevent overpopulation, the government can host seminars.
For example, the Chinese government has established family planning rules and laws to
tackle the problem of population growth
In conclusion, there is no doubt that less pollution and improved living conditions will improve
public health. In order to decrease the number of diseases, the government should also start
health awareness campaigns and organize patient health information examinations for
everyone.
3. Doing an enjoyable activity with a child can is better for their overall skills
development and creativity than reading.
To what extent do you agree?

Since play is more enjoyable than reading, many people today are reading fewer books and
choose to participate in more interesting activities with their children. They do this because
they believe that participating in enjoyable activities with kids will enhance their quality of life,
skills, and imagination. I agree with the statement, but to some extent, I do not agree
because of the following reasons

On the one hand, participating in fun activities has a number of benefits. For example,
sports are a healthy and enjoyable method for kids to grow emotionally and learn how to
cooperate in a team. Sciences do not say that reading is important for a child's early
development. On the contrary, several studies reveal that kids who have trouble with math,
physics, or chemistry also improve when explained with activities outside the classroom and
real-world examples.

On the other hand, children also gain a lot of advantages from reading. First of all, reading
enhances vocabulary and knowledge. Many different types of knowledge are available to
people, including science, literature, biology, etc. The more you read, the more knowledge
you gain. Reading can also help you feel less stressed. A recent study found that after just
six minutes of reading a book, individuals' stress levels decreased by about 66%. The
biggest reason is that you have to concentrate on the characters and the plot when you read
a book. Therefore, it should be encouraged for everyone to read as much as they can.
In conclusion, enjoyable activities are certain to help children in developing a variety of skills
and imagination, especially those that include parents or friends.However, this does not
mean that they are preferable to reading. In my opinion, children should participate in a
variety of activities, including reading.
