A home of your own?
A home of their own is what most people in the UK aspire to these days.
However, more and more of our older population are finding it difficult to stay
in their own homes as the health problems associated with increased age
sometimes make it impossible for them to cope in badly designed houses.
The elderly cannot climb the stairs and if they use wheelchairs, there are
often problems getting from one room to another because of narrow
doorways, let alone trying to manoeuvre their chairs up and down outdoor
steps. [1 _______] All too often the help that could allow them to remain in
their own homes at the end of their lives is not available and these people
are forced to move into care homes. Here, their needs are catered for but
they often feel isolated and away from familiar surroundings and their friends
and family.
In an effort to address this problem the UK government has announced
plans that seem, on the surface, to be fairly dramatic. [2 _______] There will
be sixteen such specifications and they include improvements that could
significantly affect life positively for the elderly. Stairs will have to be wide
enough to accommodate stair lifts should the installation of one become
necessary. [3 _______] Electrical sockets and switches in walls must be at a
convenient height and all rooms must be large enough for wheelchairs to
turn in circles. These are only a few examples of what architects and builders
will have to take into consideration in the future.
[4 _______] The general idea has been welcomed by many care groups but
the practicalities are causing concern in many quarters. Not least among
those who are worried about the cost of providing new housing. [5 _______]
Members of the House Builders Association feel that the plans have not
been carefully thought through and that implementing such specifications,
although theoretically laudable, is simply not realistic.
It is also felt that people have different housing needs at different stages of
their lives and forcing all new homes to be built with the elderly in mind is not
going to be a popular move. Debate on the subject will no doubt continue for
a long time yet!

COMPLETE THE TEXT WITH SENTENCES A–F. THERE IS ONE

SENTENCE YOU DO NOT NEED.

A. They want all new homes built in the UK from 2011 onwards to conform to
specifications that will make them elderly-friendly.

B. Safety for children will also be addressed.

and put new homes out of the reach of first-time buyers.

D. Adapting their houses to make life easier for these people is a costly
business and most cannot afford the necessary changes.

E. These plans have met with mixed reactions.

F. There must be easy access for wheelchairs to the front door and through
doorways.

Write an essay with the title: You can never have too much money. Use the
writing guide to help you.

Paragraph 1: Introduce the topic and say what you understand by the
statement.

Paragraph 2: Outline points that agree with the statement.

Paragraph 3: Outline points against the statement.

Paragraph 4: Summarise and give your opinion.

Trả lời:
People say that you can never have too much money. But is it true or false
that you can never have too much money?
In one factor, I agree that you can never have too much money because of
some following reasons. Firstly , If you do not have a good job or low salary,
you will have to earn money everyday without savings. Secondly, If you do
not have big property that you inherit from your parents, it will be difficult to
have too much money. Thirdly, you are a lazy person and do not learn how
to earn money, you will never earn money easily .
But in other factors, I do not agree that you will have a lot of money if you are
intelligent enough to catch opportunities in your life. The people are given a
lot of land, houses by their parents, they also have too much money. If you
win the lottery, you will be able to have a lot of money.

In my opinion, whether people earn a lot of money or not depends on their

ability as well as their chances.
