Economic progress is often used to measure a country's success. However,
some people believe that other factors are more important. What other factors
should also be considered when measuring a country's success? Do you think
one factor is more important than others?

In the contemporary world, a nation's success is frequently gauged by its economic

achievements. However, this perspective is increasingly being questioned, as other
elements are believed to be equally vital. This essay will explore alternative factors that
should be considered in evaluating a country's success, particularly within the context of
Vietnam, and argue that one factor outweighs the others in importance.

The first consideration beyond economic progress is the quality of education. In Vietnam,
education has always been revered, with a strong belief that knowledge empowers
individuals and shapes societies. For instance, the Vietnamese government's investment
in education, as evidenced by the construction of new universities and schools, illustrates
this value. Nevertheless, despite this focus, it is crucial to address that the mere presence
of educational facilities does not equate to quality education. Quality is determined by
factors like the curriculum's relevance, teaching methodologies, and the development of
critical thinking skills, which are essential for a nation's holistic growth.

However, I believe that environmental sustainability holds paramount importance when

measuring a country's success. While economic growth and education are significant, they
pale in comparison if a country's environment is deteriorating. Vietnam, grappling with
issues like air pollution and deforestation, showcases this. If environmental concerns are
not addressed, they can lead to long-term health problems and a decrease in the quality
of life, overshadowing any economic or educational advancements. This is a clear
indication that for a nation to be truly successful, it must prioritize environmental health,
ensuring a safe and sustainable habitat for its citizens.

In conclusion, while economic growth is a traditional metric of success, the quality of

education and environmental sustainability are equally vital. Yet, it is the latter that should
be prioritized, as it forms the foundation upon which a nation's future stands. A country
may flourish economically and advance in education, but without a sustainable
environment, these achievements are unsustainable in the long run.

International travel is becoming cheaper, and countries are opening their doors
to more and more tourists. Do the advantages of increased tourism outweigh the
disadvantages?

In an age where international travel is more affordable and countries are welcoming an
ever-growing number of tourists, it is pivotal to assess whether the benefits of this
increased tourism surpass its drawbacks, especially considering the context of Vietnam.

Proponents of tourism argue that it brings significant economic benefits, a standpoint that
holds considerable merit. In Vietnam, for example, the influx of tourists has been a major
economic driver, creating jobs and stimulating local businesses. Towns like Hoi An have
transformed economically, with local crafts and culinary experiences being marketed to
visitors. However, this economic upturn is often accompanied by a rise in living costs and
over-commercialization, which can erode the local culture and quality of life. Were it not
for these considerations, one might easily conclude that the economic advantages of
tourism are unequivocally positive.

On the contrary, I am inclined to believe that the downsides of increased tourism are more
impactful. While tourism does indeed contribute to the economy, it also often leads to
environmental degradation. Vietnam’s coastal regions, such as Ha Long Bay, have
witnessed environmental strain due to the surge in visitors. If measures were implemented
to regulate tourism and minimize its environmental impact, one might argue that its
benefits could be maximized. However, as it stands, the environmental cost of increased
tourism often overshadows its economic gains.

In conclusion, although increased tourism undoubtedly boosts the economy and creates
job opportunities, these benefits do not entirely outweigh the negative environmental
impacts. For countries like Vietnam, it is imperative to find a balance between welcoming
tourists and preserving natural and cultural heritage. Only by achieving this equilibrium
can the true potential of tourism be realized without compromising the country’s
ecological and cultural integrity.

Some people say in order to prevent illness and disease, governments should
focus on reducing environmental pollution and housing problem. To what extent
do you agree or disagree?

The assertion that governments should prioritize mitigating environmental pollution and
resolving housing issues to forestall illness and disease is a topic of considerable debate.
This essay will explore both sides of this argument, with a specific focus on the context of
Vietnam, before concluding with a personal viewpoint.

Proponents of this view argue that environmental pollution is a primary contributor to

health problems. In Vietnam, the escalating air pollution in major cities like Hanoi and Ho
Chi Minh City serves as a poignant example. This pollution is predominantly due to
vehicular emissions and industrial activities. Studies have shown that prolonged exposure
to such polluted air significantly increases the risk of respiratory diseases and other health
conditions. If governments were to effectively reduce pollution levels, the incidence of
these diseases might be lessened. However, it should be considered that focusing solely
on pollution control might not be sufficient, as there are multiple factors contributing to
public health issues.

Contrastingly, I am inclined to believe that addressing housing problems plays a more

crucial role in preventing illness and disease. In Vietnam, the rise of urban slums and
overcrowded living conditions has created hotbeds for communicable diseases. Poor
housing conditions, lacking proper sanitation and ventilation, directly contribute to the
spread of illnesses. If the government were to focus on improving housing standards,
particularly in urban slums, a significant reduction in disease spread could be achieved.
While environmental pollution is undeniably a concern, the direct impact of living
conditions on health suggests that housing should be the primary focus.

In conclusion, although reducing environmental pollution is undoubtedly important for

public health, the improvement of housing conditions should be the primary focus for
governments aiming to prevent illness and disease. This approach is particularly pertinent
in the context of Vietnam, where urban housing challenges are a pressing issue. By
prioritizing housing improvements, a more immediate and significant impact on public
health can be achieved.

During the 20th century, contact between different parts from the world has
developed rapidly thanks to air travel and telecommunication. To what extent do
you think that societies benefit from the increased contact and closer
relationships with foreigners brought by international tourism and business?

In the 20th century, the world has witnessed a remarkable evolution in global connectivity,
primarily driven by advancements in air travel and telecommunications. This essay will
explore the extent to which societies have reaped benefits from this increased contact
and closer relationships with foreigners, specifically through international tourism and
business, while also considering the Vietnamese perspective.

The first point to consider is the cultural enrichment brought about by international
tourism. Vietnam, a nation with a rich cultural tapestry, has experienced a significant influx
of tourists. This interaction has fostered a mutual exchange of cultural values and
practices. For instance, the introduction of international culinary styles has enriched the
Vietnamese food scene, while Vietnamese traditions like Tet, the Lunar New Year, have
gained broader recognition. However, it is crucial to note that this cultural exchange can
sometimes lead to the dilution of local traditions, as global influences might overshadow
indigenous customs.

On the business front, international contact has undeniably catalyzed economic growth.
The Vietnamese economy, for example, has seen a surge due to foreign investments and
collaborations. Such business interactions have not only spurred economic development
but have also facilitated the transfer of knowledge and technology. If Vietnam had
remained isolated, it is unlikely that it would have achieved its current level of
technological advancement and economic prosperity. Yet, this increased contact does not
come without drawbacks, as it can lead to economic dependency and sometimes even
exploitation.

In conclusion, while the cultural enrichment from international tourism and the economic
boost from global business contacts have positively impacted societies, including
Vietnam, there are downsides to these developments. It is essential to maintain a balance
where cultural integrity is preserved and economic relationships are equitable. Ultimately,
the benefits of increased global contact are significant, but they must be managed wisely
to ensure sustainable and respectful international relationships.

Some people think that the government should spend money on supporting
cultural activities such as music, theatre or art. Others think this is a waste of
money. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

The debate over whether government funding should be allocated to support cultural
activities such as music, theatre, or art is one that garners diverse opinions. This essay will
discuss both perspectives, with a particular focus on the Vietnamese context, before
presenting a personal viewpoint.

On one hand, the argument in favor of government support for cultural activities holds
substantial merit. In Vietnam, traditional art forms like water puppetry and classical music
are integral parts of the nation's cultural heritage. Government funding in these areas
ensures their preservation and accessibility to the public. For instance, state-sponsored
music festivals in Hanoi have not only preserved traditional Vietnamese music but also
fostered a sense of national pride and cultural identity among citizens. This perspective is
often challenged by the argument that such funding could be better utilized for more
critical sectors like healthcare or education. If this were the case, a nation might risk losing
its cultural identity in pursuit of material progress.

However, I believe that while investment in cultural activities is important, it should not
overshadow critical public services. In the context of Vietnam, where there are pressing
needs in healthcare and educational infrastructure, prioritizing these sectors is crucial.
Though cultural activities enrich society, they should be financially supported through
alternative means, such as private sponsorships or community initiatives. This approach
ensures that while cultural heritage is preserved, essential public services are not
compromised.

In conclusion, while government support for cultural activities plays a vital role in
preserving national heritage and fostering cultural identity, it is imperative to maintain a
balance. In countries like Vietnam, where there are significant demands in other critical
sectors, cultural activities should seek diverse funding sources. Prioritizing essential
public services while still valuing cultural activities is key to achieving a harmonious and
progressive society.

Some people believe that the government should provide old people health care
and financial support after retire. Others say individuals should save money to
take care their own life. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

The question of whether the government should provide healthcare and financial support
to the elderly or if individuals should self-fund their post-retirement life is a pressing issue,
especially in Vietnam where cultural values deeply influence social policies.

On one hand, the argument for government support for the elderly is grounded in the
traditional Vietnamese principle of filial piety. Proponents believe that it is a societal duty
to assist the elderly, with government-funded healthcare and pension schemes playing a
pivotal role. These measures are especially crucial for those who may not have sufficient
retirement savings to cope with increasing living and healthcare expenses. However, this
viewpoint is often met with concerns about the potential economic burden on the state,
particularly in a developing economy where resources are finite.

Conversely, there is an emerging perspective advocating for personal responsibility in

saving for retirement. This view, gaining popularity among Vietnam’s younger, financially
literate demographic, argues for the benefits of personal savings and investments. It
suggests that individual planning, including retirement funds and health insurance, offers
more stability and independence. Yet, this approach may not be viable for everyone,
especially for those in lower-income groups who might find it challenging to accumulate
adequate savings due to immediate financial needs.

In my opinion, a balanced solution is paramount. The government should provide essential

support to the elderly, in line with Vietnam's cultural respect for seniors, while also
fostering an environment that encourages personal savings and financial literacy. This
approach ensures necessary aid for those in need, without excessively straining public
resources, and promotes a culture of financial independence and preparedness.

To conclude, addressing the needs of the elderly in Vietnam requires an integrated

approach that combines state assistance with individual financial planning. This
combination respects both traditional values and the importance of self-reliance, ensuring
a sustainable and dignified approach to elderly care.

Some people say that the government should pay money for large pieces of art,
like sculptures for public display in outdoor places. To what extent do you agree
or disagree?

The proposition that the government should allocate funds for large public art
installations, such as sculptures in outdoor spaces, is a topic of considerable debate. This
essay will explore both sides of the argument, particularly in the context of Vietnam,
before concluding with a personal viewpoint.

Supporters of government-funded public art argue that such installations enhance the
cultural and aesthetic value of public spaces. In Vietnam, where there is a rich tapestry of
cultural heritage, large-scale public art can serve as a visual representation of the
country's history and values. For example, the famous 'Statue of Liberty' in Ho Chi Minh
City not only beautifies the area but also symbolizes the city's resilience and growth.
However, this viewpoint may be critiqued on the grounds that government funds could be
more effectively utilized in critical areas like education, healthcare, or infrastructure,
especially in a developing country where resources are limited.

Conversely, the counterargument is that the responsibility of financing large art projects
should not fall solely on the government. Critics suggest that private sponsorship or public
donations could be alternative funding sources. This approach, they argue, would alleviate
the financial burden on the government while still allowing for artistic expression in public
spaces. If this were not considered, public art might become a low priority, overshadowed
by more pressing socio-economic needs.

In my opinion, while public art is important for cultural enrichment, the government's role
in its funding should be balanced with other critical public spending areas. A collaborative
approach involving both government funding and private sponsorship could be a more
viable solution. This would ensure that public art continues to thrive without compromising
essential public services.

In conclusion, the funding of large public art projects should involve a mixed approach.
Government investment, supplemented by private contributions, offers a practical way to
enrich public spaces culturally while ensuring that vital public sectors are not financially
neglected in Vietnam.

Many animals are in danger of extinction. Some people think we should protect
animals that are beneficial to humans. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In the contemporary discourse on biodiversity conservation, the argument that

prioritization should be given to the protection of species beneficial to humankind has
garnered substantial attention. This stance, albeit pragmatic, warrants a nuanced
examination of its implications and limitations.

Central to the argument for selective conservation is the undeniable utility that certain
species offer to humans, ranging from medicinal resources to agricultural pollination. For
instance, the honeybee, pivotal in pollinating crops in Vietnam, exemplifies a species
whose preservation directly impacts food security and agricultural economy. This reliance
underscores the pragmatic rationale for safeguarding species with discernible benefits to
human welfare. However, this perspective is often critiqued for its anthropocentric bias,
potentially overlooking the intrinsic value of biodiversity. The ecosystem's complexity is
such that the extinction of seemingly inconsequential species can precipitate unforeseen
consequences, evidencing the interdependence of all living beings. Thus, while the
protection of beneficial species is undeniably important, this approach must be tempered
with a broader ecological foresight.

However, I believe that every species plays a critical role in the ecological tapestry, and
thus, a more inclusive conservation strategy is paramount. The loss of any species,
regardless of its direct utility to humans, disrupts ecological balances, leading to
cascading effects that can ultimately affect human well-being. For example, in Vietnam's
mangrove ecosystems, the protection of a wide array of species, not just those with
evident benefits, is crucial for maintaining the health of these environments, which in turn
protect coastal communities from storms and support fisheries. This holistic view
acknowledges that the value of biodiversity transcends immediate human utility, fostering
a more sustainable interaction with nature.

In conclusion, while the protection of species beneficial to humans is understandable from

a utilitarian perspective, it is imperative to adopt a broader conservation ethic that
recognizes the intrinsic value of all species. Such an approach not only ensures the
preservation of biodiversity but also secures the ecological foundations upon which
human societies depend. By transcending a narrowly defined utility-based conservation
strategy, we can foster a more resilient and ethical relationship with the natural world.

In many countries, a small number of people earn extremely high salaries. Some
people believe that this is good for the country, but others think that
governments should not allow salaries above a certain level. Discuss both views
and give your own opinion.

In an era marked by economic disparities, the debate over whether a minority earning
astronomical salaries benefits a nation, or if there should be a cap on earnings, stirs up
considerable discussion. This essay aims to explore both perspectives, ultimately favoring
a more balanced approach to income distribution.

Proponents of unrestricted salaries argue that these immense earnings are a testament to
individual prowess and a driving force behind economic growth. For instance, in Vietnam,
tech entrepreneurs who have earned fortunes symbolize the potential for innovation and
job creation, stimulating further economic development. However, this argument
overlooks the potential for societal imbalance. If only a handful of individuals amass vast
wealth, it can lead to a disproportionate allocation of resources and opportunities,
exacerbating inequality. Were the government to intervene by imposing salary caps, it
might lead to a more equitable distribution of wealth.

Conversely, I believe that imposing salary caps could be detrimental. If a country like
Vietnam were to limit earnings, it might discourage entrepreneurship and innovation, key
drivers of economic progress. Talented individuals might migrate to more financially
rewarding environments, depriving the nation of crucial human capital. Although concerns
regarding inequality are valid, it's imperative to consider that wealth is not a finite
resource. By fostering an environment that encourages wealth generation, a nation can
expand its economic pie, rather than just redistributing existing wealth.

In conclusion, while it is essential to acknowledge the arguments for and against salary
caps, I am inclined towards a system that does not restrict earnings. Instead, focus should
be on creating policies that foster economic growth and ensure that the benefits of this
growth are broadly shared across society. This approach, rather than imposing arbitrary
limits on income, is more likely to lead to sustainable and inclusive economic prosperity.

Some people want governments to spend money looking for life on other planets.
Others, however, think this is a waste of public money when there are so many
problems on earth. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

In the contemporary debate regarding governmental budget allocation, two contrasting

perspectives have emerged: one advocating for the exploration of extraterrestrial life, and
the other opposing it due to pressing terrestrial concerns. This essay will examine both
viewpoints before articulating a reasoned stance.

Proponents of space exploration argue that the search for life beyond Earth could yield
groundbreaking discoveries, potentially revolutionizing our understanding of the universe.
For instance, in Vietnam, advancements in technology and knowledge gained from such
endeavors could spur innovation in various sectors, enhancing the nation's global
standing. This viewpoint holds that the potential benefits of discovering extraterrestrial
life are monumental, possibly leading to unprecedented scientific breakthroughs.
However, this argument overlooks the immediate challenges faced by humanity. The
investment in space research, often seen as a long-term gamble, diverts resources from
addressing urgent issues such as poverty and climate change.

Contrastingly, I am inclined to believe that governmental funds should prioritize earthly

problems. Although the quest for extraterrestrial knowledge is fascinating, the immediate
needs of our planet cannot be sidelined. In Vietnam, for instance, allocating funds towards
improving infrastructure, healthcare, and education can have a tangible impact on the
quality of life. This approach not only addresses the immediate needs of the populace but
also lays a strong foundation for future generations. It is imperative that governments
focus on sustainable development, ensuring that resources are utilized where they are
most needed.

In conclusion, while the exploration of other planets holds the allure of the unknown and
the potential for significant scientific advancements, it is crucial to address the myriad
challenges that plague our world today. The allocation of funds towards improving living
conditions and solving pressing issues on Earth should be the priority. It is only by
establishing a strong base on our home planet that we can hope to responsibly explore
the mysteries of the universe in the future.
