In contemporary life today, getting a better occupation is more complicated
than in the past and there are many factors that assist people to be recruited to
their desired jobs. To discuss this trend, a number of individuals believe that
having soft skills is better than getting a professional degree. However, I strongly
disagree with this view and in my essay, I will demonstrate my perspective.
On the one hand, there are some reasons to believe that social skills are more
essential than qualifications are beneficial. The knowledge from the universities
will help people to have a clear understanding of what the jobs require from
them and also how it must be done. Therefore, if they have a high certain
degree, they can easily be required for a better job and have more opportunities
in their career. A study, for example, reported that 97% of surveyed employers
said that qualifications led to more capable employees to help their businesses
grow. If one worker only has social skills but doesn’t own an outstanding degree,
they only can talk and expand their relationships with their colleagues, however,
they don’t have the capability of developing their company. On the other hand,
the reason why educational qualifications should not be underestimated is this
can get you hired when you have zero experience. If you have little or even no
experience, having brilliant qualifications will help you to show potential
employers that you can contribute something to their organization.
In conclusion, although social skills should be considered in our work and life,
it is necessary for employers to recruit workers who get an academic degree to
expand the scope of their organization.

Whether or not a person achieves their aims in life is mostly related to luck. To
what extent do you agree or disagree?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your
own knowledge or experience.You should write at least 250 words.
IDEAS
In the contemporary world, some people believe that the majority of people’s
success in their life mainly depends on luck and they don’t need to attempt and
effort. However, I firmly disagree with this view as success is made by many
factors.
Admittedly, we can deny the role of luck for one successful person. It is true
that if people can meet the lucky chance in their own life, it might help them
easily and quickly to be successful. Therefore, it is reasonable to say that
without the luck factor in people’s life, it is too complicated for us to be
successful and we will lose many significant chances. For example, Bill Gates -
co-founded Microsoft Corporation and luckily he could meet a chance in her
business, therefore, he has led the company to become the worldwide leader in
business and personal software and services.
However, relying solely on luck is still not enough for people to achieve their
goals. If people rely on luck but don’t attempt, people will overlook the
importance of personal qualities and deliberate actions. From my perspective,
there are many factors that shape one’s success including determination,
resilience and adaptability and people who's these personalities easily overcome
the challenges and achieve their goals. In fact, before being successful, many
people experienced loads of failure and challenges but after that depending on
determination and self-discipline, they could have modest success in their work.
Steve Jobs, for instance, who is the CEO of Apple, before being successful in his
career, was made redundant by his current company and he could learn the
hugest lesson in his life and then, thanks to his determination he has become
the official CEO of Apple company.
In conclusion, although people who achieve their goals in life need some luck to
be faster and easier, there are many elements that make the success of one
person.

In some cultures, children are often told that they can achieve anything if they try
hard enough. What are the advantages and disadvantages of giving children this
message?

IDEAS
There has been a growing trend towards encouraging children to study hard
every day and parents believe that their children will certainly be successful
people. In my essay, I will discuss both advantages and disadvantages of this
philosophy.
The first significant merit of telling children that they just need to try hard to
achieve their goals is building their discipline in studying and life. Self-discipline
is hard to obtain in each child so incentivizing them to try hard enough to be a
success is helping them to be more composed. Therefore, children will be more
mature in their thinking and adults can set them up for success. Additionally,
having better behavior and thinking makes this method more beneficial. When
children see hard-working people, they will think they are trying to be
successful hard and send the best regards to their diligence. Therefore, these
children will be more graceful and respectful to other people.
Despite the advantages above of teaching children to be more successful if only
they worked hard, this view is claimed to exert some detrimental effects. This
philosophy can be considered the major adverse influence on the style of the
ideal. If they know they must try hard, they will overcome other factors
including social skills or creativity. In addition, requiring children can lead to
more stress in children. If they can have unexpected failures in their studying
and life, they will think they don’t try enough to achieve their goal. This can
cause children, especially teenagers, to become under pressure with their final
result.
In conclusion, there are many pros and cons to teaching children that if they
work hard enough, success will come to them. Personally,parents should
encourage their children not only to try hard in their studies but also teach
them how to develop their soft skills and other factors leading to success.

Many manufactured food and drink products contain high levels of sugar, which
causes many health problems. Sugary products should be made more expensive
to encourage people to consume less sugar.To what extent do you agree or
disagree?

IDEAS
In the contemporary world, there is numerous figure of products are packed
with high sugar which is the great cause for many health issues. Some people
think sugary goods are able to increase their price to reduce the sugary
consumption. In my opinion, I totally agree with this view.
Firstly, it is true that sugar can product essential energy which people use it to
survive. For example, Dr. Kristina Rother who is an NIH pediatrician said that
glucose is the number one food for the brain, and it's an extremely important
source of fuel throughout the body. Secondly, sugar can help us save the
amount of protein because human body naturally burn sugar to have energy
instead of protein so that we can have a storage of protein.
However, using sugar-packed products over time can take a toll on our
health.Eating and drinking a lot of sugar is the culprit behind obesity, type two
diabetes, weight gain, fatty liver disease and an increased risk of heart disease
and cancer which can reduce life expectancy. United States, for instance, some
studies report that youth consumed 143 calories from high-sugar products and
adults consumed 145 calories from thus on a given day which make America is
the fattest country in the world.In addition, making sugar-sweetened foods and
beverages more expensive can control the amount of sugar consumption.
In conclusion, sugary goods which contain high levels of sugar can lead to
many health problems.Increasing the price of sugar-packed products, people
can consume less sugar and stay healthy day by day.

In many countries around the world, life expectancy is increasing. Discuss the
advantages and disadvantages of this situation and give your own opinion.

Nowadays, many countries all over the world are experiencing an upward trend
of senior citizens, which results in many positive impacts. However, there are
some negative aspects that need to be considered. From my perspective, the
disadvantages of this situation outweigh the advantages.

On the first hand, the increase of elderly can make more profits for themselves.
Firstly, people can live happier when they are in retirement. After working and
studying, they can enjoy their life on their own, such as traveling around the
world or simply spending the rest of their life in the idyllic countryside. In
addition, the elderly population can have more opportunities to pursue their
dreams, which they will have more time to fulfill their dreams that they can not
achieve it when they are still young.

However, I support the view that the increase of seniors can cause many
negative impacts on the community and society. This problem can put pressure
on the medical system. Generally, many health issues tend to arise among the
elderly population, which causes the overload of healthcare services. The other
consequence is that the aging population can affect national economic
development. As increasing life expectancy may lead to discrepancy between
fertility and mortality rate, resulting in labor shortage.. Therefore, the state
budget is affected by the need to allocate funds for pensions and allowances of
senior citizens. Japan, for instance, has one of the highest rates of elderly in the
world and now is facing challenges related to healthcare provision, retirement
and a shortage of young workers.

In conclusion, while there are some upsides exist in this tendency, I believe that
the dark sides outweigh them in the long term.

Some people believe that professionals, such as doctors and engineers, should be
required to work in the country where they did their training. Others believe they
should be free to work in another country if they wish. Discuss both these views
and give your opinion.
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your
own knowledge or experience.You should write at least 250 words.

In many countries, many people support some promising jobs such as

engineers or doctors who should work in their current country where they are
given opportunities to study while other people believe that they can have more
choice to work in other countries.From my perspective, I support people should
spend their career in the country where they were born and studied to be easier
instead of going abroad to work and have many doubts.

Working in the country where they did their training and lived is easier for their
life. For the first reason, because they can have their family and relatives that
are close to them and can support them whenever they have difficulties in their
career and they do not need to worry about making new relationships with
others that do not have the same culture with them. Pham Nhat Vuong, for
instance, built his career in Vietnam where he was born and had his family as
the huge motivation so it was easier for him to be successful and nowadays, he
is the richest founder in Vietnam and stands at 23rd spot on the list of global
billionaires.

However, going on business in other countries is a significant challenge to

them. To go to a completely different country can waste them lots of time
adapting to the new environment and they can meet some challenges to make
relationships with local people because they do not have the same speaking
topics to talk about. In addition, if they go abroad to employ and earn a living,
they will have homesickness and sometimes, they can be pressured by their
occupation because no one can share and talk with them.

In conclusion, I think that individuals should spend their career in their country
where they have been raised and trained to have a more straightforward life in
place of working for the foreign nations but have more difficulties.

Some people feel that entertainers (e.g. film stars, pop musicians or sports stars)
are paid too much money.
Do you agree or disagree? Which other types of jobs should be highly paid?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your
own knowledge or experience.You should write at least 250 words.

It has been suggested that people are likely to argue that some public figures
working in the film, pop, and sports industries currently earn a lot of money.
From my perspective, I agree with this statement and I will explain my view and
show job should be paid a higher salary.

There is an argument that entertainers who is relevant to film, pop, and sports
can earn a high salary, however, this can be worth their effort and lead to some
adverse effects on them such as losing their privacy. To become a well-known
entertainer, they must show their individual traits and outstanding capacity to
the general public. Therefore, they must spend most of their time being trained
and practicing and they must accept that they can be stressed by some critical
comments whenever their fans are dissatisfied with them. For example, K-pop
industry in Korea, some people release that before being the idols in one team,
candidates must go through a number of severe training sessions and
elimination rounds.

However, in our society, there are some kinds of people working in knowledge-
based industries that should have high incomes such as doctors as they play
and vital role in our lives. The reason is that to be a doctor, people must study
professionally at universities and colleges and they conventionally spend six or
eight years to finish this course. Sometimes, doctors can be worried about their
patients and spend their time finding curing ways for them. For example, when
Covid-19 went around, many doctors in Vietnam accept to go far away from
their families to support needy people non-stop for a long time. However, they
were being paid too little money, this can not ensure they livelihoods and worth
their effort.

In conclusion, I agree with the view that artists receive excessive money because
this is worth the time and effort they invest. Conversely, I believe that doctors
should be paid much more for their crucial role in our society.

The most important consideration when choosing any career or job is having a
high income. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your
own knowledge or experience.You should write at least 250 words.
IDEAS
In recent years, it is argued the most crucial criteria to start one’s career or
occupation should be contemplated is earning a significant number of money. In
my opinion, I believe that people should not consider only this factor to choose
their job.
On the one hand, having a high income can ease their concern about their daily
expenses. Nowadays, the number of products increase significantly in their cost
and this can be the hugest difficulty for many residents. Oftentimes people with
decent salary can cover their daily expenses easily better when compared with
those earning less, thus this leading comfortable and pleasant life without
bearing the daily financial burden. For example, those who have well-paid job
will not have to be mortgaged their own property to the bank and struggle to
repay the loan.
However, income-centric career choices often comes with certain repercussions,
including health issues resulting from overwhelming workload some may
encounter while working. The reason is the fact that is a number of highly
remunerated professions often require people to work hard so they often spend
most time working in the office and doing over time at the midnight, this can
result in many problems related to mental health such as depression. In
addition, if their job take them too much time, they do not have enough time to
care about themselves and their family.
In conclusion, high wages is undeniably a significant consideration, it should
not be the sole determining factor when decide a career or job.

We are becoming increasingly dependent on computer-based technology.How do
you think it will change in the future? Is it good for us to rely so much on
computers?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your
own knowledge or experience.You should write at least 250 words.

In the contemporary world, technological advancements have brought a major

improvement in humans’ living standards but these developments can have
negative impacts.This can be observed in how reliant on computers people are
inclined to be. This essay will explain the usage of technology in the future and
some effects of this trend in our society.

First of all, I believe that computer-based technology will become a

commonplace in people’s daily lives. In today's life, people often do housework
directly by housing cleaning tools such as brooms or mops.However, in the
future, time-saving and more efficient electronic equipment may take place of
these manual cleaning instruments. In terms of education,teachers can makes
their lessons more visually appealing to their students. Thanks to the
technological development, nowadays, people can books holidays, bank online,
do weekly shopping through computer but don not need to go out. With the
speed which people have evolved and altered the way they do things, I convince
that this evolutionary trend will continue.

However, overusing computers sparks off many consequences that users should
make allowances for this. Firstly, excessive computer use can lead to many
physical problems. Many studies in Stanford University have reported that
working at a computer may lead to headache, eye strain. Moreover, overusing
computers affects people's entire mental health. When screen time is more than
the outside time, people can not have enough time to communicate face-to-face.
Therefore, relying to much on computers can cause problems with depression
and anxiety.
In conclusion, I believe that people will probably be more dependent on
computer-based technology. Nevertheless, extremely depending on computers
may lead some drawbacks, that we should consider.
