TOPIC 2: Some people think that university should not provide theoretical knowledge, but to give
practical training benefit to society.In what extent do you agree or disagree?
It is widely accepted that university should not provide theoretical knowledge, but to give practical
training benefit to society. I believe that this contention makes sense for following reasons, namely
development employment opportunities and relevant between theoretical knowledge and practical trainings.
Firstly, most of people think that learning at university is not only to acquire knowledge but is is also to
prepair for their career. Nowadays, the job market is very competitive. Thus, people who prepare better will
have more chances to apply for a job they want. At university, students should be provided with much practical
knowledge so that they can fit in their job fields. When steping out of their university, the students must face
many problems. They require the students to have many practical experience to slove. In addition, if the
students have many practical training benefit to society, they will give them a clearer perspective of the job
what they are going to work after graduating from the institute. For these reason, pratical training is really
necessary.
Secondly, practical trainings are based on theoretical knowledge. If student do not learn professional
theoretical knowledge, they can not enough capable of facing practical training ‘s requirement. They just
depend on the basic academic knowledge that they studied in the high school to deal with problems. In fact,
they will overcome difficulty in progressing real practical training. Theoretical knowledge acts as a platform for
students to get practical experience. Hence, practical trainings and theoretical studies are closely related.
To sum up, I have to admit that theoretical knowledge and pratical training benefit to society is
indispensable to every student who attend to universities. Theoretical knowledge lays the foundation for
practical training. On the other hand, practical training is also integral to use theoretical knowledge learned.
When those two things are together provided, they are the best thing that the students are learnt in their
university. Hence, I hope that every university will be provide both theoretical knowledge and many practical
trainings for their student in near future.
TOPIC 3: the idea of going overseas for university study is an exciting prospect for many people.But
while it may offer some advantages, it is probable better to stay at home because of the difficulties a
student inevitablely encounters living and studying in a different culture. To what extent do you agree or
disagree?
It can be said that going overseas for university has become a popular trend nowadays. For some people,
studying abroad is an exciting prospect. But while it may offer some advantages, it is probable better to stay at
home because of the difficulties a student inevitablely encounters living and studying in different culture.In my
opinion, study in the different place is a good choice owing to these reasons below.
The first reason is that going oversea is one of wonderful opportunities to study foreign languages.
Although a person can study a foreign language in his or her country, going abroad is better for students to
improve all of their language skills such as listening and speaking. It is the best way to learn foreign language
by nature. Moreover, having used the foreign languages during a period of time offers a distinct advantage
when one is going to applying for jobs that requires the language. Sometimes, some people think that barrier
languages has also become disadvantage when going abroad. But I think if someone is obligated speaking
foreign language to communicate with other people, they must try their best to speak for everyone to understand
them. As a result, they can speak a foreign language that they don’t know. In my view, this is a good thing to
try.
Another reason is that it make people become more independent, more responsible and know how to
tackle new challenges. When living far away from home without relying on family, friends, students must be
learn how to take care of themselves and search for everything around them. This is not only benefits for now
but also for long term. It make them realize a lot of things, especially money and time management.And this is
also improve their soft skills such as sloving many problems in their life, treating people around them, standing
on their own feet, how to adapt into new environment. Everything that you have when going oversea is useful
for them in a long time.
Beside these advantages, the disadvantage are inevitable. Firstly, studying abroad requires oversea
students comprehend foreign languages in order to understand all lessons in their class. Secondly, the expense
of international education is often more expensive than those of domestic education. Another problem is the
need to adjust to other cultures which can lead to a culture shock or give the students difficulty in adjusting to
the new environment.Because of these, it is easy to understand why some people prefer to study in a local
university.
In conclusion, it is clear that going overseas for studying brings both advantages and disadvantage to
students. However, if the student have a chance for studying abroad and can overcome the difficulties, I make
sure that it is the most interesting experience which they don’t want to miss. But if students think that studyting
overseas offers their more disadvantages than advantage,going study in your country is good choice.Therefore,
students should carefully consider before deciding whether study in a foreign country or not.
TOPIC 9: Overpopulation of urban areas has led to numerous problems.Identify one or two serious ones
and suggest ways that governments and individuals tackle these problem.
For recently years, Overpopulation is a big problem not only in VietNam but also in the world. When
the population is rapidly growing, many numerous problems are caused. It is possible that these problems can
be able to tackle by both the government and individuals to get the best results.
There are many problems caused by population growth. Firstly, Environmental pollution is one of
serious damages caused by overpopulation. Immigrants from the rural areas to urban areas become more and
more high increase significantly. The result is a large amount of garbage discharged.This leads to many health
problems, illness such as allergies, pneumonia. Secondly, unemployment is the other consequence that caused
by highly dense population. Those who unemployment will take desperate and turn to crime or drugs. That
make social evils growing and difficult to control. Perhaps, other consequences of population growth do not
show all such as the lack of land to live, decreasing quality of life, hunger and thirst,…Therefore, we must try to
solve these problem by working together between the government and individuals.
To the governments, they should reduce birth rates and control immigration. The laws prohibits more
two children in a family should be strictly implemented. In addition, they should attempt to minimize the
number of unemployed people that will not affect the country’s economy. It considers as a way to reduce the
number of crime. Besides, opening many health care centre for people who are suffering from diseases caused
by environmental contamination to not widely spread these contagious diseases. Furthermore, the governments
should invest more in infrastructure in country areas to encourage people to live away from crowed cities.Also,
it is essential that mass media should be upgraded to raise their public awareness of this matter.
To individuals, they have the responsibility to obey all the government’s regulations and broaden their
knowledge about overpopulation. Each citizen should lend their hand to help the authority control population
boom, particularly in urban areas.
To sum up, I think that overpopulation of urban areas bring about immense worries. But the problems
can be addressed by link between the government and individuals. It is also the best way to slove overcrowed
problem that most of countries face.
TOPIC 10: Nowadays, environmental problems are too big to be managed by individuals person or
individual country. In other words, it is an international problem.To what extent do you agree or
disagree?
Most people in the world are aware that the environment is a serious issues. Many people think that
environmental problems are too big to managed by individuals person or individual country. It is an
international problem. In my opinion, I partly agree and disagree with this statement. I believe that this
contention makes sense for following reasons.
There is no denying that individuals person and individual country have an influence of the
environment. If every individual is aware of preserving his or her surroundings, it will contribute to reduce
environmental pollution. Each of people can make great contributions to the protection of enviromental
pollution such as reduce daily waste, use public transport for short distance travelling, save energy. Step by
step, the enviroment will be significantly improved just only little things. However, one individual alone can’t
help to eradicate these problems. Each of individual country also takes strictly measure to improve this
situation. The number of laws to protect envirnment must be severely implemented. The governments must
harshly punish people who destroy enviroment by cut the trees, hunting wild animals. In my opinion, the
government and individual should join hand to save their surroundings.
However, many problems like ozone depletion, radiation pollution, global climate and extinction of
species too big to be solved by individual person and individual country. A single country cannot tackcle the
problems which is seemed to be global issuses. It requires the cooperation of many country. There are a
significant number of non-govermental organizations which have an aim to protect the ecological system in all
over the world. Many presentations, conferences, international summits are also held to give the best solution
for protecting enviroment. For sure when many country work together, the Earth will be more and more green.
In conclusion, environmental problems should be handled by local and international as well as
individual person. The hands of all people will keep the Earth to become green pearl of the universe. It should
be remmember that the Earth is our home, so we must do anything to protect it.
TOPIC 4: Because of the pressure of new subjects such as business studies, many schools have dropped
sport or physical education (PE) from curriculum. How important is sport or PE in a young person’s
education?
Because of the pressure of new subject such as business studies, many school have dropped sport or
physical education from curriculum. In my opinion, it is not wise to take this action. Because the sports and
physical education give students many advantages. My opinion makes sense for following advantages.
The primary advantage of sport and physical education is health promotion. Sport improves the skin and
muscle, burns some calories, increases flexibility and reduces the risk diseases such as osteoporosis, heart
disease, obesity. In recently years, many studies have shown that overweight children is increasing. As a result,
they don’t take participate in any kind of physical activity. It can be said that schools is the best places where
students get the motivation to initiate into sports. Many students never play sports because they hate them and it
is not useful. But if sports are in curriculum, pupils will force to play. It helps students avoid obesis disease and
stay healthy.
Moreover, participating sports can helps students to develop sportman spirits. Team sports require all
members in team must join hands together to win in games. In fact, the students who join in sports have better
academic results because the sports is not only healthy physique but also joyful spirit. In addition, sports is one
of the benefits when the students apply a study abroad scholarship. Thus, Playing sports is an opportunity for
students to relieve stress after studying hard in class and win a sholarship if they want to go overseas.
In conclusion, althought many school have dropped sports and physical education in curriculum because
of the important business studies, I think it is necessary for every pupil to health promotion and develop their
spirit. Knowledge and extracurricular activities such as sports will create a balance in the curriculum in the
schools as well as help students develop both physically and intellectually by the most way.
TOPIC 7: Many people judge success solely by money and material possesstions. However, success can be
achieved or measured in others ways.Discuss.
Most of people consider success as a target of their life. Many people judge success solely by money
and material possesstions while the others think that there are many different way to measure success in life. I
partly agree and disagree with this statement.
I agree that money and material possesstions are a way to demonstrate whether you are success or not.
But I do not agree that success is judge solely by these. There is no denying that you have money and you can
buy any daily necessities in order to serve your family. Money represents not only wealthy person but also
successful person. It can get by many ways such as do a job with high salary, inherit property from parents, win
the lottery. No matter what do you do to have many money, it may be your success. But we cannot say that
success is judge solely by money or material possesstions.Without money, you cannot buy anything to have a
convenient life. However, the facts have shown that many people live without a redundance of financial
support, they still have optimistic and happy. I think the people satisfied with their present life is their success
and money is a tool which help them have a better life.
I also totally agree that success can be achieved or measured in others ways. In terms of education,
passing the exams, finishing a course, getting a good mark, getting a dgree or diplopma can be considered as
success. These knowledge that people acquire in school can help them get a good job but it do not necessarily
lead to wealthy people. Therefore, to many people, success what they achieved, not money they earn. Success
can gain by many others way. For example, a volunteer worker help poor people, become a good mother of her
children, raise a charity fund for orphaned children. Contributions to society, the useful jobs for life are regard
as success.Therefore, success is anything in this life and there is no precise definition for success.
In conclusion, there is no doubt that in today’s society people often regard success is to have many
money and many possesstions. But in my opinion, success is not only judge by the means but also judge many
different things. It can be simple things in present life. Conception of success makes people create their success.
Therefore, measuring success might depend on an individual’s personal goals.
TOPIC 5: In many countries, children are engaged in some kind of paid work. Some people regard this
as completely wrong, While others considers it as valuable work experience, important for learning and
taking responsibilities.Discuss.
Nowadays, in many countries, children are engaged in some kind of paid work. Some people regard this
as completely wrong.While others considers it as valuable work experience, important for learning and taking
responsibilities. It seems that it is a much debateable issue.In my esay, I would like to discuss this contention
following advantages and disadvantages.
There is no denying that involving in some kind of paid work offers children many advantages. When
children work, they are given many opportunities to learn more about real-life , gain serveal valuable experience
and take themselves responsibilities. They will learn how to deal with the difficulty of money, how to slove
many problems in life, how to have good communication with other people. They will know many things about
the life of adults. Speciall, they can realize the valuable of money that they can get it by their parents. This kind
of activities will also help them improve their self-confident and mature earlier than other children who not
involve paid works.
On the contrary, engaging in work for children hide the risk inside. Firstly, it is very dangerous because
children are innocent of what are they doing. They cannot know whether this job they do is right or wrong.
There are many physical jobs and require no skill. Therefore, they can be abused their labour and or even the
worst things is to enter the world of criminals. At an early age, going to school and trying to study well are main
their task. It also means that children may neglect the classroom and fail their examination if they are too
fascinated by jobs.They also become so occupied with the benefits ahead of them like small salary and leave
school. Moreover, childhood is the happinest time in anyone life. Instead of working. Children should spent
their time playing with their friend, acquire knowledge in shool, observe everything around them.
To sump up, I admit that there are many drawbacks and benefits in some paid work in when children
works. But in my opinion, the advantage outweigh the disadvantage. Life will teach a lot of valuable lessons
that children never learn school. But in order to restrict unnecessary risks, children who work must be have
consent and supervision.
TOPIC 6: Some people prefer to stay in the same job for the same company, but others prefer to change
jobs frequently. Discuss
Nowadays, choosing career is the top concerns of all people. Some people prefer to stay in the same
company, whereas others prefer to change jobs frequently. In my essay, I will discuss both the pros and the cons
of these views.
There are many reasons for people prefer to change jobs frequently. First of all, There are many
companies which don’t have a fair promotion system and reasonable welfare system.Therefore, many people
think they cannot work in unfaily competitive environment and leave their jobs to change new job. Another
second point is that people want to have many experiences different environment. Working in new
environments, they will be acquainted with more and more colleagues and have broader view of work and
personal resources as well as skills to draw on.In addition, when a person spent too long time for a job, he or
she can get bored that make the quality of their work suffer. So, they have to change their job to get bạck to
work with excited emotion.
However, there are also serveral reasons for people to stay in the same job for the same company.
People who loyalty to their company will become specialist in their specific profession. their company may
recognise their loyalty and reward their service.They are relied and assigned to important work.It confirms their
position in company. Moreover, staying in the same job for the same company help people have a stable
income.So, I also believe that employers don’t tend to change their job because increase wages and promotion
are often easier to attain by changing job.
To sum up, changing job or staying job resemble a double-edged sword. My point of view is that people
should change company in short time to make sure that they have a strong attachment with their job.
TOPIC 8: Money cannot buy happiness? It is often claimed. But with money you can buy most of the
things that are necessary for happiness: good food, accommodation, entertainment, travel, quality health
care ? No wonder most people want to make as much money as possible. To what extent do you agree or
disagree?
In morden society, money is something that everyone needs to live. It is often claimed that money
cannot buy happiness. But with money you can buy most of the things that are necessary for happiness. The
question whether money can buy everything or not seems controversy. In my opinion, I total agree that money
only is a part of happiness.
There is no denying that money can buy most of the things that are necessary for happiness. You have
many money and you can buy a lot of things to have convenient life. It is hard to live without any money.
Money brings you good food, accommodation, entertainment, travel, quality health…It can be said that all of
daily necessities can buy by money. Obviously, most of people will feel happy when they have a comfortable
life and no need worry about means. Sometimes, without money can make people feel scared, inferior, insecure
and depressed. Therefore, money is really necessary for everyone and offers human many happiness. That the
reason why people want to make as much money as possible.
However, there are many people who put a different meaning into the word “happiness. They see
happiness in healthy, relationship with friends, colleagues or family members which is not purchased with
money or materials . I think that some invisible things which is important for all people cannot buy by money.
It cannot buy good relationships, cannot buy knowledge in your mind, cannot buy feeling of people. But all
those things make people happy. Thus, money is a part of happiness and there are lots of things which are
really more important than money.
In conclusion, happiness means different things to different people. People who place high value on
material life will regard money as their happiness.On the other hand, people who highly appreciate spirittal life
will consider money as an integral to their happiness. It is much better when people know hơ to balance
between earning money and keeping their mind life to save happiness.It is true value of the life.
