- August 2020 These days, online shopping has become more and more popular.
Do you think this is a positive or negative development?
Brainstorming:
Pros:
- Individual customers: Time-saving, convenient, not need for travelling; compare prices on
different websites/ from different sellers – quickly => find products with affordable prices
- The entire economy/ from the perspectives of sellers/producers: sell more products to
more customers, foreign customers/ foreign markets => make more profits => economic
development
- Creates more jobs: shippers, delivery man, transporter (n: nhân viên giao hàng/ vận chuyển)
demand => economic boost/ lower the unemployment rate
Cons:
- Product quality: offline shopping – see/touch, online shopping – risks: low quality products.
Vd:
- Environmental damage: packaging for delivery – cardboard (n: bìa các ton), plastic and nylon,
duct tape (n: băng dính), Styrofoam (n: xốp) => non-biodegradable waste (n: rác thải ko phân
hủy sinh học) => environmental pollution
- Delivery: parcel – transported to the client’s address – trucks/lorries/ships/motorbikes =>
exhaust fume/gas (n: khí thải động cơ) => air pollution

2019 International tourism has become more popular these days.

Does this trend have a positive or negative impact on the environment and local people?
Local people:
Offer a big deal in indigenous people’s income - live from tourism (restaurants, hotels, travel
agencies, transportation services (whether by flight, taxi, boat, coach)
Environment:
- Contamination: littering, poor waste management
- Deforestation: constructing hotels, restaurants, and resorts => cut down trees => loss of
natural habitat for animals, risks of flooding or erosion
Positive impact on local people, particularly higher income.
Negative impacts on the environment, which include pollution and deforestation.
=> Mở bài:
More and more people these days enjoy travelling to distant regions in other countries. In my
opinion, although this trend has a positive impact on local residents, particularly higher income
it also brings some drawbacks to the natural environment, which include pollution and
deforestation.
