Nowadays, with the development of the society, most people choose to live in large
apartments instead of motels or small houses. This type of accommodation has some
advantages and disadvantages which affect people's lives.
In the positive side, we can see some benefits of living in large apartment blocks. First,
we can get the best security. For examples, we need an id card or face id to check in or
check out of the apartment buildings. Moreover, there are always security guards in the
building and parking garage for your means of transportation that you won't be afraid of
theft. Second, we can have many good services and the best facilities. There will be a lot
of shops, grocery stores, supermarkets,... around where we live, so we can buy everything
we want in just a few minutes.
In the negative side, it also has some drawbacks. First, with large apartment, the cost for
it will be expensive. In order to pay for living here, people need to work hard to make
more money. Working without rest will affect people's health and cause some diseases
such as: headache, backache, heart diseases, etc. Second, the most inconvenient thing is
waiting for the lift. Thinking that, if we stay in high floors, we will need about 15 - 20
minutes to get to the ground in the ealy morning . It may probadly make us late for work.
In conclusion, life in large apartments has more advantages over disadvantages. Choosing
live in this type of accommodation will become popular in the near future.

Some think that governments should tax unhealthy foods to encourage people to eat
healthier. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Nowadays , some people believe that unhealthy food should be taxed by government to
promote healthy eating habits.. In my opinion, I partially agree with this idea and I think
it will be more effective if it is combined with other measures.

it is reasonable why taxing on unhealthy food is neccessary. Firstly, regular using fast
food leads to a lot of medical complications in people. Because fast food may be cheaper
than healthy food, some people choose it for their daily meal. This eating habit causes
many diseases to people. (Mình chỉ đang nói tới bệnh tật nhiều (medical complication)
chứ không có nói về tốn tiền chữa bệnh). Secondly, taxing on unhealthy food will be an
effective lesson to educate people about unhealthy food. This is especially important for
young people because they are less aware of health problems that can cause bad habits on
eating unhealthy food. Besides, television shoul broadcast some progammes which
relates to healthy practices. This can support lessons about the ingredients of different
food products and other sides of healthy lifestyle.

Nevertheless, taxing on unhealthy food will put pressure and burden on people's income.
Moreover, taxing unhealthy food will make life harder for poor people. They can't make
enough money to buy something too expensive like healthy food. They only need full
stomachto continue doing their jobs. Besides, they have to work for a long day. The result
is that they don't have time to cook some nutritious and balanced meals, so they must rely
on fast food to live and feed their family. Therefore, taxing on unhealthy food may
blocking their life.

In conclusion, not only imposing higher taxes on unhealthy food can be a good solution
to reduce people buying it, but also the education for children about good eating habits is
very neccessary. Besides, television shoul broadcast some progammes which relates to
healthy practices. This can support lessons about the ingredients of different food
products and other sides of healthy lifestyle

With the development of society, people are increasingly developing and being connected
to many advanced devices and social media that help them understand more about the
world around them. However, overuse of social media will lead to many harmful
problems and we must find out measures to tackle those problems.

There are some problems that we can easily realize. Firstly, people are so much addicted
to the social media which can effect on their physical and psychological health. For
instance, students nowadays are addicted to online games and they play all day and night.
They can even play without eating and sleeping. That not only affects the students
themselves but also their parent's anxiety. Secondly, not all information on social media
is true and positive. Fake news is everywhere on it. Thinking that how messy the world
will be if people read wrong information day by day. For example, the covid has gone,
but if someone says a false information that covid is coming back. It will lead to a lot of
issues especially lack of food and goods because people have to buy a lot of things for
reserve. Besides, more serious things will lead to inflation.

To deal with those problems we should have some intelligent solutions. Every parents
need to manage their childen's social media usage time. Furthermore, it is necessary to
limit the items that your child is allowed to view and get them into the habit of relying
less on social networks. Especially, not only children but also adults should know how to
select appropriate information to view. Besides, government and schools should educate
people on how to evaluate news and showing right information on national television
station or prestige newspaper.

In conclusion, for the problems mentioned above, my opinion is that the positive effects
that social media has on our communication are outweighed by disadvantages, but we
need to try to change to social media development is getting better and better.
