Nations should spend more money on skills and vocational training for practical work,

rather than on university education.

To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge
and experiences.

AGREE - practical skills - learn to work and application – learn directly what necessary for
future career
- Short time training – save time and money -
DIS – university – base knowledge about differnrnt skills like communication ,
perservalence, critical thinking – long – term development. For example, teacher not only
study teaching method but also learn how to ..that ipt in all types of work
Uni lif alone – do all things by … - best prepare for living independently to work

Preparing knowledge and skills for label market is one of the most caring of people in all
society. It is no doubt that university training after studying high school is one of the most
popular choice of students. Others think that vocational training for each kind of work is
more important. While I agree that practical skills are valuable things that most prior vital
role for workers, university training also prepare for students lots of soft skills and basement
before going to the workforce market.
On the one hand, spending money on university training is necessary. University often
provide a detail training for leaners, including both soft skills as dependent living, financial
management and academic knowledge in their major which often happen for a few years.
University curriculum usually start at general knowledge, for example, in Vietnam, these
subjects as Philosophy, Economics, Advanced Mathematics are the basement of some logical
thinking, problem solving and the development of history, that help learners understand more
about society, which help them for the long life working afterward.
On the other hand, money invest in vocational training is more important. Vocational
training, often all the skills and strategies that directly relevant to the work that they are
doing, which can contribute to the effective of working. For instance, combing short lessons
about nutrient of some food and practice cooking in restaurant help all chefs remember better
knowledge and apply it to serve suitable dishes providing for customers. The other reason is
that comparing is university program, short training course is more economical and time
saving, which is important for both employers and company.
In all, both university program and vocational training are important for workers. They
should be balanced in investing by government.

Some experts believe that it is better for children to begin learning a foreign language at
primary school rather than secondary school. Do the advantages of this outweigh the
disadvantages?

Learning a foreign language is very useful in life. Researchers argue that the introduction
of a second language in primary schools rather than in secondary school might be more
advantageous. This essay will discuss this proposal and the advantages and disadvantages
this could bring.

There are clear benefits to learning a foreign language in primary school. Firstly, young
children have the potential to acquire language faster than those who are older. In fact,
recent research has revealed that the size of the brain shrinks as we age**, which affects our
ability to learn.** Thus, as so many students now travel overseas to study in the United
Kingdom or other English-speaking countries, it could be argued that the earlier such
students learn a second language like this the better. Secondly, the introduction of a
foreign language could be seen as an opportunity for every pupil to learn about
different cultures at a young age and, therefore, become more rounded as individuals.
This type of understanding not only helps individual students, but it also promotes
tolerance, which benefits society as a whole.

Nevertheless, learning a foreign language may not be of benefit to every student at this age.
Some might find it difficult to cope with studying an extra language as well as the other
subjects that must be learned in primary school. As a result, they might struggle to
concentrate on more important subjects such as mathematics and science. Another problem
is that, even though a second language is beneficial, it might not appeal to everyone,
particularly if they have no future plans to travel or study overseas. Therefore, as well
as adding unnecessary pressure, this may not be advantageous to everyone.

All things considered, although there are disadvantages and advantages to this
suggestion, in my view, the advantages are greater. Having said this, it should not be
compulsory for every student, as some may struggle and may have no desire to travel,
and it is important to keep students interested in their learning.

Some people believe that it is more important to teach children the literature of their
own country than other countries. Do you agree or disagree?

Balanced view
Studying national literature ^ domestic history
- Help them understand culture identity and hesitate. Provide inside into the history,
value, and tradition of the country, fostering a sense of pride and belonging.
Example; stories in literature can illustrate correct etiquettes and manners of that
society -> reading stories may help students have a good attitude towards surrounding
people
- Literature depict from history – Ss will appreciate the hardships and sacrifices that
their grandparents and their parents had gone through more – undwestanding of older
generation and briding tha gaps between the young and the old generations
- READING Vietnamese stories, poems and folktakes, children can learn moral value
of loyalty, optimism, kindness, empathy
Teaching world literature
- Broadens children*s horizons and fosters a global perspective – encourage empathy,
understanding, and appreciation of diverse culture and viewpoint. Literature from
various cultures can highlight the different traditions, moral values, and worldviews,
which can help them appreciate the richness and diversity of human experience,
selecting and comparing the suitable one to apply in their own countries. This not
only enhances their knowledge but also encourage thewm to be mote empathetivc and
appresciate of the diversity that exists in the world.
- Preparation for globalized word: understanding and appreciating global literature –
prepare children for future interatiuons ain multiculture environments, both personally
and professionally.
