People in many countries nowadays live far from their families

and friends in order to find work. Though this trend comes with a
few drawbacks, I believe the benefits it brings are more
significant.

Moving away from friends and families for work purposes may
cause people some difficulties in the short term. Some people in the short term: trong
may struggle to adapt to a new environment, especially when they ngắn hạn
move to a place with different cultures and customs than their
hometown. For example, an Asian person might feel unfamiliar or hinder (verb): cản trở, kìm
even lost when first working in Western society, which could hãm
hinder their work productivity and daily life quality for weeks or
months before they can adapt. In addition, being far from friends
and families can provoke negative emotions, such as loneliness,
homesickness, or even fear and anxiety, especially for people who
have been dependent on their loved ones for a long time. If
people cannot cope with these emotions well, they can turn into
mental issues like anxiety disorder or even depression.

However, working far from friends and families is what people

should do because of the several long-term benefits. First, this
allows people to become more mature and independent over facilitate (verb): tạo điều
time. Living and working in an unfamiliar place means people have kiện, giúp đỡ thứ gì đó
to deal with their issues with receiving direct support from their phát triển
friends or families. This facilitates their maturity and several soft

people opportunities to broaden their perspectives about the pose challenges to: gây ra
world since they come into contact with new people who may thách thức với …
possess different traditions and beliefs. This is especially
beneficial for those working in multi-national companies since
their knowledge of different cultures can be a huge advantage
when they communicate internationally.

In conclusion, though moving away from friends and families for

work may pose challenges to people at the beginning, I believe it
is more of a positive development. This allows people to mature
and opens up their knowledge about the world, which can benefit
them in the long run in today’s world.

Từ vựng

It is true that many parents are placing too much pressure

on their children in today’s world. There could be several
reasons for this, and I consider it to be a very negative
trend.

There are several reasons why some parents feel the need
to exert pressure on their children. The leading cause of exert pressure: gây ra áp
this stems from the concern for their children’s future lực
employment. This is because the job market has become
extremely crowded, so job search is more competitive
than ever before. Consequently, parents put considerable
stress on their children so that they can pursue academic
excellence which is, in their belief, the key to success in
life. Another reason may be because they are trying to
correct their past mistakes by imposing their ideals upon
children. It is possible that these parents have many
regrets in the past, so they might wonder what they
would do differently and force their children to execute it.

Putting too much pressure on the young comes with many

negative effects. Firstly, high levels of pressure can lead to
higher rates of mental illness. Children who are under
constant pressure can experience chronic stress and chronic stress and anxiety
anxiety, which will hurt their social life and even academic (noun phrase): stress và lo
performance. In addition, always pushing young people to âu kéo dài
their limits can erode their self- esteem and make them
feel like they will never be good enough no matter how
hard they try. For example, a child who is not the best in
his Chinese class might quit learning Chinese altogether
because of the fear of being judged by their parents and
others. As a result, children might never take a chance to hone their skills: mài giũa
hone their skills and shine. kỹ năng

To sum up, while it is somewhat understandable for

parents to place pressure upon their children, taking it to
an extreme might be counterproductive and might hurt
the young in many ways.
