In my
opinion, the advantages offered by these schools are what drive numerous students to opt for it. Firstly, a gifted high
school offers students peers with similar interests that can be conducive to their education. By studying with friends,
one's overall understanding of a subject and academic performance can further improve. Moreover, with such peers, a
student may encounter more opportunities that can be of benefit to him or her. For instance, one may hear of a
standardized test such as the SAT, which various colleges use to assess students’ capabilities, from their friends.
Secondly, the environment that students experience in such schools can be a merit. Gifted high schools are likely to
have high-achieving students that can act as role models to others, inducing those students to work harder and
receive better academic results. In summary, gifted high schools offer their students a variety of advantages, namely
peers having common interests and a beneficial environment.

For a long time, homework has been widely regarded as an integral part of a well-rounded education and the learning
process in general, thanks to the enormous benefits it offers students. Firstly, homework encourages learners to
revise their lessons, enabling them to thoroughly grasp the core ideas of those concepts and fulfill their assignments
more competently. Since schoolwork is based on the utilization of learned knowledge to complete more advanced
tasks, students are stimulated to hone their academic skills, thus understanding their subjects more deeply. As a
result, they tend to perform better in academic tests, opening them up to various career paths. Secondly, homework
develops students’ numerous soft skills, especially time management skills. Oftentimes, learners typically have to face
various tasks from different subjects at the same time, which promotes decent time-management skills such as
planning a schedule or identifying priorities. Such capabilities are crucial in the hustling society of today, where people
are expected to handle heavy workloads. In conclusion, homework is effective for students to revise their knowledge
and improve their soft skills. Therefore, schoolwork should be utilized to its full potential by both teachers and
students.

In recent times, due to the desirability to study at elite high schools growing exponentially, many students believe
choosing an elite high school for education is the best choice without careful consideration of certain flaws. To begin
with, although advanced high schools do offer higher level of education, these academic programs are mostly meant
for academically gifted pupils. As a result, students who qualified through either loopholes, family status, or sheer luck,
may struggle immensely during the school course. In turn, leading to the aforementioned students to fail classes, and
eventually failing to progress to the next grade. Correspondingly, the terrible academic achievements can leave a bad
stain on the student's resume, even though they studied at an elite high school. Additionally, studying at advanced
high schools without the necessary intellectual prowess will only place more pressure onto the pupil. Consequently,
leaving the pupil to feel as if they were left behind academically. In conclusion, while elite high schools, in fact, offer a
better educational program, these programs are only meant for highly intellectual students. Subsequently, creating an
uphill battle for not as gifted students.

Most 9th graders aim to get into a gifted high school, despite not knowing about the drawbacks of studying in one.
First off, applying for a gifted high school often means sky high expectations from both peers and parents. Parents
who believe their children possess academic talents might push them too hard and neglect other aspects also vital to
their growth such as recreational activities. Berating children when their academic scores don't meet a certain criteria
is still an accepted and rather ubiquitous method of "education", leading to a deterioration of mental health and
potentially self-harm in students during the most unstable period of childhood. Being surrounded by acclamation also
poses a threat to students' mental health when they aren't able to keep consistently high results. Secondly, there's
also the misconception of the quality of education being higher in gifted high schools. While These schools offer a
substantially harder program to follow, but often overlook the importance of the method of teaching. Giving students
hard worksheets and show the answers later isn't interactive nor engaging for students, and yet so many teachers
nowadays adopt this style of teaching. Education should be about trying to make students understand, not let them
figure out on their own. All in all, gifted high schools might not be for everyone and students should be more aware of
the struggles when attending one.

Homework is crucial to a student's life due to its benefits. Firstly, homework teaches the students to study and work
independently. When doing homework, students will have to figure out how to do things correctly without the help of
teachers. This will promote self-learning for pupils. Eventually, a student's academic score will gradually improve.
Secondly, homework makes the students learn the importance of time management. When students are assigned a
lot of homework, they will have to schedule when to start doing each and also finish it before the deadlines. Therefore,
it helps the student to manage their time better. Finally, homework builds a positive learning attitude for students.
Homework helps develop healthy study habits, such as: doing homework daily, completing homework before
entertainment, preparing for the next class... Homework serves as an opportunity for students to learn new things,
rather than a burden that needs to be done. In conclusion, homework is beneficial to students in many ways and
significantly contributes to a student's educational approach.

Admission to a gifted high school, which is the aspiration of millions of students, is credited with engendering
considerable benefits. It goes without saying that compared to a normal standard high school, an elite high school
indeed equips students with the ideal conditions from peer to teachers and courses. To begin with, owing to the
candidates sharing equitable stipulation through entrance examinations, gifted high school can precisely opt for
competent students. Hence, mutual purposes of life can help them simply get on with each other, share similar
opinions and gain a competitive edge. Besides, with masterful teachers, effective lessons are in their capable hands.
Broadly speaking, students in gifted high school can internalize better with innovative and proficient teachers, which
gains their opportunities to promote their result and partake in prestigious universities. Lastly, students supported by
their inherent ability of a subject can be administered holistic and specific courses in their field which allows them to
become an authority on the subject that is orientated to prop up their later choice of professions. To summarize, the
education at gifted schools should be stimulated for the reasons I have mentioned above.
- The writing is overcomplicated and largely incoherent. You are using quite a few words incorrectly.
- Avoid using the passive voice.

When gifted schools come to one’s mind, they might think it’s the best environment to study, make connections, and
cultivate the mind. Though studying at a gifted school brings people numerous benefits, there are some dark twists
that are hidden underneath the glimmering reputation of gifted academies. On one hand, being at such a great
condition allows students to even develop their favorite skills and subjects even further. It can also lift the weight off of
students with getting into universities and getting a job in the future. Additionally, dedicated gifted schools enable
students to study with their peers and teachers who have similar interests and abilities to them. Teachers can create a
lively atmosphere, while classmates can encourage and help each other throughout the school year. However, on the
other hand, there are two sides of a coin. It can put extreme pressure and expectations on a student. Being in an
gifted program with high-achieving peers that have varying academic strengths can make students may feel stressed
because they don’t excel everything. On top of that, if they only study without social interaction, it can lead to anxiety,
depression, and low self-worth. To sum it up, studying at a gifted school education has equal disadvantages and
advantages.

Nowadays, many students aspire to attend elite high schools in virtue of the following factors. Firstly, gifted schools
have the optimal academic environment. The company of many a talented friend will exert supportive peer pressure
when students endeavor to emulate others' educational performance. Consequently, one will be given the essential
motivation and experience to hone his skills and ameliorate his weaknesses. In addition, teachers at these schools are
highly professional in pedagogic skills, therefore, students should be educated at a better standard. Secondly,
graduates from gifted high schools might be in favor if they apply for the opportunity to study abroad or scholarships
from domestic universities. This is partly because the scholastic achievements of such candidates are primarily
superior to their ordinary counterparts, hence they tend to receive more precedence from the admission committees
both in their own country and abroad. In conclusion, according to the aforementioned reasons, studying in a gifted
milieu is definitely beneficial to high school students in myriad ways.

The advantages of attending a gifted high school are innumerable, and this paragraph will highlight a few of them. First
and foremost, those institutes can provide students with an optimal environment in which they can grow and foster
their inherently outstanding talents, thus facilitating them to pursue their own interests and ambitions. No matter how
talented an individual is, if he studies in a low-quality environment, he will be unable to reach his full potential.
Furthermore, in those schools, students will have an opportunity to meet and interact with their like-minded peers,
thereby mutually assisting others not only in academic endeavors but also in other fields. As a result, they can make
substantial progress, and gradually achieve their goals. Less educated students in the other institutes, on the other
hand, are apt to act more impulsively and thoughtlessly. Such demeanors may have an adverse influence on those
around them. To encapsulate, there are a plethora of merits of studying in a gifted high school.

One of the most conspicuous topics these days is whether or not children should be given homework or not. While
some people argue that homework is detrimental to students, I believe it plays a crucial role in today’s education.
Firstly, homework helps children to improve their time management skills. Children can learn how to logically organize
their timetables as they have to finish their tasks on time. Doing homework enables them to divide and prioritize their
work effectively. Therefore, they can optimize their spare time for revision and self-teaching. Secondly, homework is
indispensable in encouraging self-learning and problem-solving. Being assigned homework after school, students can
apply their in-class knowledge themselves. In this way, they can develop their autodidactic skill and independent study
habits. This development is especially advantageous for students in higher education when mostly they have to take
ownership of their learning process. In brief, with these tangible proofs, homework will continue to benefit the next
generation in the future.

Aside from classwork, most schools provide students with homework to consolidate what they have learned and
further enhance their knowledge. Indeed, the method has certain advantages which benefit them greatly. First of all,
doing homework encourages self-learning, consequently improves students’ sense of responsibility, and teaches them
how to discipline themselves. Hence, it also gives them the opportunity to advance their critical thinking skills and
problem-solving abilities. Secondly, doing homework after school allows students to revise what they have learned in
class. According to research, students only remember approximately 46% of what they have been taught at school
after a day. Thus, in order for students to retain as much of the target knowledge as possible, it is important to revise
lessons after school. Doing homework makes sure that their knowledge is firmly consolidated. Homework also gives
the student a chance to revise with other classmates, providing the opportunities to ask questions, view different
perspectives, and give the students a better understanding of the subject. Finally, homework keeps students away
from their phones and computers, reducing screen time and promoting the productive use of time. All in all, homework
can improve students’ skills and knowledge, which is why it is very important.

These days, more and more parents are applying their children to gifted high schools rather than normal ones, as they
are claimed to be more beneficial to students. Related to their first benefit, it is obvious that in these schools, students
may have an advantage in their academic learning. This is because the teaching staff in elite high schools must be
skilled and experienced, with interesting and salutary lesson plans. As a result, students can gain a deep
understanding of the subject as well as a detailed guidance and support. One more benefit is the professional learning
environment gifted high schools can provide for students. Admittedly, in order to be accepted into these schools,
students need to be both intelligent and hard-working. This way, students may get the chance to study in a well
educational milieu, further leading them to develop their personalities and improve their senses of learning in a positive
way. To conclude, gifted high schools may have positive contributions to students’ both learning and self-developing
process.

TOPIC 2: The benefits of studying at a gifted high school
Nowadays, the term “high-quality school”, also known as “gifted school,” is becoming a hot trend among students as
well as their parents. In my opinion, this tendency is completely justified since elite high schools can provide students
with a great learning environment. Firstly, it is obvious that students can develop their in-depth knowledge of many
prospects. Since high school students are taught by professional and dedicated teachers, they are able to be offered
gripping lectures and be completely engrossed in the subject. As a result of being well-equipped with expertise, gifted
students could have a chance to partake in many national as well as international competitions, which is a great
springboard to their further work in the field. Moreover, attending an elite school also means students have the chance
to study in a friendly and dynamic environment. As gifted students are talented and well-educated, they together
create a motivating community where each one gets inspiration from others and makes lots of efforts to achieve
accomplishments. In conclusion, it is advisable that students study for elite high schools due to the numerous
privileges offered specifically to them.

It is said that learning at a gifted school may contribute considerable benefits to the students. In my opinion, I fully
agree with the statement above for the following rationales. Firstly, gifted schools can provide talented students with
higher course curriculums. Since elite schools consist of students of the same profession, the teachers are able to
develop an academic syllabus that can commensurate with all those students, therefore improve the students’
intellectual potential and enhance their performance. Even more, gifted schools offers a friendlier environment than of
normal schools. The majority of pupils here are well-educated and well-behaved, consequently, students may develop
a better society, stimulate long-lasting friendships and eradicate the problem of bullying. Finally, elite performers may
focus in any specialized subjects that they prefer. Gifted schools encourage students to choose a narrower curriculum
in order to allow for greater focus in their favorite subject, thus helps them to become a professional at the subject, as
more time spent in one domain inevitably leads to mastery. The postgraduates are enabled to define their life career
easier also. In conclusion, studying in elite schools lead students to better results in general.
- You need to provide stronger supporting information and clearly define the impact of the benefits you identify.
- The writing is confusing at times. Pay more attention to sentence structure and make sure that you are using all the

Enrolling in a gifted high school is beneficial for students. First of all, it allows students to advance their education
theoretically and heuristically. Through the intensive and extensive learning program, learners can not only gain deep
insights into specialized subjects, but they can also broaden their knowledge about the attendant problems. Likewise,
modern school facilities such as the well-equipped laboratory enable students to experiment with theories they have
learned for themselves, so their knowledge will not just stay on paper, but can be understood thoroughly. This is not
often the case in traditional high schools, where these facilities are not always available due to the high cost. In
addition to providing comprehensive education, gifted high schools also offer students opportunities to partake in
extracurricular activities. Intending to improve learners’ soft skills in parallel with academic ones, these schools
encourage a myriad of student-led projects ranging from arts, science, charity, and so on. For example, students will
have to collaborate and communicate effectively with one another to develop a well-planned activity schedule.
Moreover, since these activities are an asset in applying for prestigious universities, students in gifted high schools
may have a better chance of standing out and getting accepted. In conclusion, gifted high schools are an ideal
environment for students to develop comprehensively.

There has been strong opposition from students, parents and educators against the assignment of homework to
students due to their concerns about its excessive workload. However, I believe that homework undoubtedly brings a
variety of advantages, including improving one’s academic performance and strengthening family relationships. Firstly,
by doing homework, students can enhance their study process. They can apply the concepts learned at school to
homework, helping them to gain a deeper understanding of the knowledge. Moreover, revising lessons through school
work assignments can help youngsters to retain the concepts longer. Therefore, engaging in homework on a daily
basis strongly improves one’s grades and studying skills. Secondly, homework gives parents opportunities to be close
to their children. While helping children with homework, parents can learn about the learning progress and the
difficulties that their children encountered. Thus, the relationship between parents and children is improved. In
conclusion, homework can offer numerous benefits that contribute to the improvement of a student's educational
achievement and family bonding.

Over the years, homework has remained a controversial topic among the masses, especially students. Some may
advocate that homework is an absolute burden to them, given that students could spend hours, or even days, finishing
their assignments. Although this thinking is valid to a certain extent, I firmly believe that homework is of paramount
importance to students. Firstly, homework contributes to the understanding and retention of the materials learned. To
be more precise, applying one’s knowledge and transferring it by writing to do homework is more likely to help the
student to memorize and utilize what they have learned to the maximum. Another pronounced benefit of homework is
that it consolidates time organization in students. It is evident that students receive numerous homework assignments
in a school day, and they only have at most a few days to finish them. To do that in time, students must be able to
manage their schedules so they can finish all tasks on time. This way, thus enhancing the capability to organize their
time effectively. In conclusion, notwithstanding all the demerits that homework offers, I side with the perspective that
the merits will be far greater.

Due to the rapid development of technology, mankind requires a vast amount of education. However, not everyone in
a specific area can meet the demand. That’s why some developed cities and countries started to open public gifted
high schools for students who have higher levels of IQ and are a place to develop exceptionally outstanding talents in
the fields of basic science. These public schools are designated for secondary students with a talent for the sciences,
social sciences, or foreign languages. Studying at a gifted high school can provide more advanced information on one
subject or topic, which gives the students opportunities to explore their interests and their strengths in one field. For
example, gifted high schools in Vietnam often organize festivals and events that give students a chance to try
teamwork activities or individual skills. Furthermore, since most students have to take an entrance exam, it is easier to
interact with peers who share the same interests as them. For example, they can discuss the problem together without
burdening the other person. In conclusion, a specialized high school is a stepping stone for students to achieve more.

Nowadays, an increasing number of students have the aspiration to enroll in an elite high school for several reasons.
Firstly, being surrounded by talented peers gives students an incentive to keep honing their skills in fear of falling
behind others. This competitive environment can also prepare them for the fierce competition in the workplace later in
life. In addition, establishing relationships with those friends could be meaningful with a view to learning from each
other’s strengths. Secondly, gifted high schools often provide specialized courses, which enable students to follow
their academic pursuits under the guidance of professional teachers. Finally, the demanding curriculum covered could
help students develop critical thinking and tolerance to school pressure. Thanks to these valuable skills and the
recognized quality of gifted high schools, one can have an advantage over his ordinary counterparts in applying for
overseas universities. In conclusion, for the above arguments, studying at an elite high school proves to bring

Studying in a gifted high school offers pupils a plethora of positive aspects. To begin with, it enhances the learning
outcomes . A competitive environment in which peer pressure is imposed will make students aware of their capability
compared to other elite mates; as a result, this raises their attitude towards schoolwork as they emulate others.
Additionally, the expulsion of those who fail to achieve certain academic criteria may also contribute to their effort to
strive. Secondly, it serves as an edge on the subject of tertiary education as well as employment opportunities. Even
when students do not particularly have an outstanding performance, they are still assumed to be more intellectual
since they passed the cut-throat entrance exam and were taught by top teachers. Employers and individuals involved
in the scholarship selection process may consider this an advantage over others whose CVs do not mention studying
in a prestigious highschool. To recapitulate, an elite high schools is of great benefit to pupils.

Nowadays, students are prone to be given homework after each studying session. While there are numerous
arguments for and against the benefits of school assignments; it is commonly asserted that homework is a helpful tool
during the learning process. In my opinion, the tool profits students' academic progression. Firstly, homework serves
as a reviewing material that helps with knowledge testification. To be more precise, it deepens one's understanding of
the material learned in class by further practicing and applying. Hence, students can have a clear understanding of
different concepts besides developing critical thinking through homework in the long run. In theory, learning is
frequently associated with practice, which can suggest the importance of homework as a form of knowledge
enforcement. Secondly, school assignments prevent students from time-wasting activities. Take the case of teenagers
overusing smart gadgets in their free time. Instead of surfing the internet unnecessarily, homework now gets rid of
their free time besides benefiting their studies. In addition, the tool helps students to acquire better time management.
To sum up briefly, homework is advantageous to the academic journey.

Homework has invariably been part and parcel of every student's learning process due to its benefits. Firstly, it permits
pupils to reinforce in-class theories. Repeated practicing may acquaint them with the principles of the subject matter.
Accordingly, they are bound to gain deeper insights into what was taught during classes. This studying method is
undoubtedly an efficient means of knowledge revision. Secondly, after-class exercises promote learners'
industriousness and time-management skills. By regularly completing homework assignments, they will be equipped
with good studying habits. In reality, some teachers also consider their pupils' diligence a significant grading feature.
Additionally, as homework may be time-consuming, students must spare adequate time for it. As a result, they may
learn how to plan and prioritize tasks, which substantially contributes to their future success. To conclude, homework
is a valuable tool to enhance pupils' academic performance. Therefore, it is crucial that they take a positive attitude

Homework is always considered as a daily practice or revision to improve the students' learning skills. Therefore, it is
necessary to know about the advantages of homework. Firstly, doing homework helps students prepare for upcoming
lessons. Once they finish all their homework, they will have a more thorough perception of the previous lesson,
thereby developing an interest in them to know more and more about a particular topic or subject, making them feel
much more confident to acquire further knowledge in the next lessons. Secondly, doing homework regularly
encourages independent learning and problem solving of students. They are challenged to do some difficult tasks by
themselves at their own pace, helping them have critical thinking. Also, students will be able to gain the knowledge
that they learnt in the classroom more efficiently. Last but not least, homework helps learners improve their time
management skills, as schedules and timetables have to be set reasonably to ensure that all exercises are completed
during the day. In conclusion, doing homework is totally a helpful task, therefore, it is necessary for students to spend
some time on homework given by their teacher or tutor to achieve the best learning quality.
