Sample:
The graph depicts the proportion of Australians living in cities, towns, and rural regions between 1950
and 2010 based on whether they were born in Australia or overseas.

Overall, it is evident that city life was far more prevalent for both categories in both 1950 and 2010.
Moreover, the proportion of both populations residing in urban areas rose over time.

In 1950, over fifty percent of Australians were born in cities. Around 30% of those born in Australia
resided in rural regions, whereas 20% lived in cities. In 2010, roughly 65% of the population resided in
cities, while the percentages of people residing in towns and rural regions fell to around 15% each.

In contrast, over 60% of those born outside of Australia resided in cities in 1950, compared to 80% in
2010. Interestingly, a large proportion of non-Australians (40% in 1950) resided in rural regions;
nevertheless, this percentage declined significantly to 5% in 2010.

Task 2:

Rich countries often give money to poorer countries, but it does not solve poverty.
Therefore, developed countries should give other types of help to poor countries rather
than financial aid. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Sample:
It is common to see industrial countries offering economic help to developing ones. Yet, it does not
always assist in eliminating(1) poverty; hence, it is believed that less wealthy countries must be supplied
with an alternative(2) kind of long-term aid. This essay examines why developing nations may benefit
from such aid and the forms of assistance provided.

First, when rich nations provide money to underdeveloped countries(3), it will assist the residents of
these countries in resolving short-term issues, but it will not be long-lasting(4). When residents in
developing nations get money via contributions, they utilize it to pay for temporary(5) expenses or
problems. In 2005, for instance, the United States provided over $20 billion to underdeveloped nations;
nevertheless, this assistance only lasted two months and was not beneficial in sustainable
development(6).

In addition, affluent nations should invest in healthcare and education instead of lending money to other
nations. When the younger generation has a decent education and everyone has access to adequate
medical care and hospitality, it will help eradicate(7) unemployment and discourage individuals from
engaging in illegal acts. Thus, wealthy nations must invest in constructing quality schools, colleges, and
hospitals. In addition, they may assist in stabilizing the governments of these nations and assess if the
political climate(8) is favourable to development. It is true that money helps in feeding the hungry, but
this is only a temporary solution.

Nevertheless, before offering other forms of aid to poor nations, rich nations should provide financial
support, since money is said to alleviate the majority of issues.

In conclusion, I am in favor of the notion that wealthy nations should aid in improving the economic
situation of developing nations. Financial aid(9) can only alleviate(10) poverty to a limited amount and is
not the definitive solution.

Vocabulary:
1. Eliminate (v): loại bỏ
2. Alternative (adj): thay thế
3. Underdeveloped countries: các nước kém phát triển
4. Long-lasting (adj): kéo dài
5. Temporary (adj): tạm thời
6. Sustainable development: sự phát triển bền vững
7. Eradicate (v): xoá bỏ
8. Political climate: tình hình chính sự
9. Financial aid: sự hỗ trợ kinh tế
10. Alleviate (v): giảm nhẹ

Going out (with friends/ family) Working Sleeping

Sample:
The pie charts compare how working adults in a country arranged their daily schedules. The data was
collected over a five-decade period, starting from 1958. Overall, most of their time was spent on
working and sleeping. It is also clear that there was an increase in the figures for the other categories,
except for sleeping and friend or family gatherings(1).

In 1958, working accounted for roughly a third of their time, followed by sleeping at a minute 1% less. 50
years later, while a 9% climb was recorded in working time, sleep time declined considerably by 7%.
Despite consistently being the least time-consuming activity throughout the day, commutes(2) to
workplaces saw the most significant change, quadrupling from 2% to 8%.

It is clear that though the respondents to the survey relaxed more at home and spent more time on
leisure pursuits(3), like participating in sports, they had less time for bonding(4) with friends and family
members. Under 10% of their time was allocated to home recreation(5) or hobbies in 1958, compared to
13% and 8% to these in 2008. Conversely, the proportion of time spent with friends or family saw a
marked plunge of 13% to 6%.

Vocabulary:
1. Gathering (n): buổi họp mặt
2. Commute (v, n): đi lại
3. Leisure pursuit (n): hoạt động giải trí
4. Bond (v): gắn kết
5. Home recreation (n): giải trí tại nhà

Phân tích:
- Phần lớn thời gian dành cho làm việc và ngủ.
- Số liệu của tất cả hoạt động đều tăng, ngoại trừ việc đi ngủ và họp mặt bạn bè hoặc gia đình.
- Mặc dù luôn là hoạt động tốn ít thời gian nhất trong ngày, việc di chuyển đến nơi làm việc lại chứng kiến sự thay

 Task 2:

Nowadays, not enough students choose science subjects in university in some countries.
Why does this happen? Are there effects on society?

Sample:
There has been a shift away from scientific majors in higher education in some parts of the world. The
reasons for this phenomenon and its impacts will be analysed in this essay.

High unemployment rates among fresh graduates have led to many opting for vocational training
courses, such as graphic design and car mechanics. This option could save them a substantial amount
on undergraduate tuition fees and provide a quicker path to earning money compared to a traditional
college education. Many young people also prefer following passions that do not require a Bachelor’s
degree. Instead of pursuing academic studies, they launch a startup(1), learn by trial and error(2) and
gain hands-on experience. The increasing number of art studios, coffee shops and craft workshops run
by Vietnamese young people well illustrate this. As a result, there is a decline in university students in
general and in science ones in particular.

However, this trend evidently affects social stability and development. Scientific branches, including
medicine and computing, have long been key driving forces in society. A labour shortage(3) in such
areas can disrupt the normal functioning of any country. For instance, many hospitals across the US are
understaffed(4), which renders treatment delayed and exorbitant. During the passing COVID-19
pandemic, this situation even proved disastrous when there was an abrupt surge in infected patients. It
is also noteworthy that in this current digital era, personnel in industries like software engineering are
the minds behind(5) many breakthroughs in various spheres of life. The emergence of applications
powered by artificial intelligence promises drastic cuts in labour-intensive(6) and mundane tasks in
workplaces and households, hence better productivity and leisure time.

To summarise, due to the declining popularity of tertiary education, many universities and colleges'
science departments are witnessing an enrolment drop. Should this circumstance prolong, the stable
provision of essential services and future living standard upgrades will be hindered.

Vocabulary:
1. Launch a startup (v): khởi nghiệp
2. Learn by trial and error (v): học bằng cách thử nghiệm và phạm lỗi
3. A labour shortage (n): sự thiếu hụt lao động
4. Understaffed (adj): thiếu nhân lực
5. Be the minds behind (v): là những bộ óc đằng sau một dự án, thành tựu nào, ... đó
6. Labour-intensive (adj): thâm dụng lao động

Phân tích:
Lý do:
- Tỷ lệ thất nghiệp cao trong số sinh viên mới tốt nghiệp đã khiến nhiều người chọn tham gia các khóa đào tạo nghề,
chẳng hạn như thiết kế đồ họa và cơ khí ô tô. Sự lựa chọn này có thể giúp họ tiết kiệm một khoản đáng kể cho học
phí đại học và cung cấp một con đường kiếm tiền nhanh hơn so với giáo dục đại học truyền thống.

- Nhiều bạn trẻ cũng thích theo đuổi những đam mê không cần bằng Cử nhân. Thay vì theo đuổi các nghiên cứu
hàn lâm, họ khởi nghiệp, học bằng cách thử và sai và tích lũy kinh nghiệm thực tế. Số lượng ngày càng tăng của các
studio nghệ thuật, quán cà phê và xưởng thủ công do những người trẻ Việt Nam mở là minh chứng rõ ràng cho điều này.
Hệ quả là số lượng sinh viên đại học nói chung và khoa học nói riêng giảm sút.

Hậu quả:
- Các ngành khoa học, bao gồm y học và máy tính, từ lâu đã là động lực chính trong xã hội. Sự thiếu hụt lao động ở
những khu vực như vậy có thể cản trở hoạt động bình thường của bất kỳ quốc gia nào. Ví dụ, nhiều bệnh viện trên
khắp Hoa Kỳ thiếu nhân lực, khiến việc điều trị bị chậm trễ và chi phí đắt đỏ. Trong thời kỳ đại dịch COVID-19 vừa
qua, tình trạng này thậm chí còn trở nên nghiêm trọng khi số bệnh nhân nhiễm bệnh tăng đột biến.

- Cũng cần lưu ý rằng trong kỷ nguyên kỹ thuật số hiện nay, nhân sự trong các ngành như công nghệ phần mềm là
những bộ óc đằng sau nhiều bước đột phá trong nhiều lĩnh. Sự xuất hiện của các ứng dụng được hỗ trợ bởi trí tuệ
nhân tạo hứa hẹn cắt giảm mạnh mẽ các công việc nhàm chán và thâm dụng lao động tại nơi làm việc và ở nhà, do
đó tăng năng suất và thời gian giải trí của mọi người.

Sample:
The table shows the number of persons from various parts of the globe who traveled overseas between
1990 and 2005.

It is obvious that the overall number of foreign travelers rose dramatically throughout the time. Also,
Europe had the highest number of foreign travelers in all years.

Almost 280 million Europeans traveled globally in 1990, while 80 million Americans and 60 million Asian
Pacific residents did as well. In that year, 18.2 million Africans traveled overseas, whereas the number
for the Middle East was just around half that, at 9.8 million.

For the next fifteen years, the number of European travelers increased steadily, reaching a high of 400.2
million in 2005. The number of foreign travelers from Asia Pacific increased rapidly, from 80.3 million in
1995 to more than 138 million in 2005. Nevertheless, the number of Americans who traveled reached a
high of 118.2 million in 2000 before falling to 113.2 million in 2005. The estimates for the other areas also
climbed throughout the time, with African visitors totaling 28.7 million and Middle Eastern visitors
totaling 15.8 million.

Task 2:

Many people go to university for academic study. More people should be encouraged to do
vocational training because there is a lack of qualified workers such as electricians and
plumbers. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Sample:
Many individuals opt to pursue intellectual education at a university rather than a practical training
programme. Although no one can dispute(1) the importance of university graduates, I completely agree
that we should encourage more individuals to become labor workers(2).

There are two major reasons why additional individuals in specialized professions such as plumbing or
electrical work must be taught. For starters, these employees are essential when new structures are
being built or when old facilities need to be restored or simply maintained. Yet, in many nations,
hospitals, schools, and museums employ a permanent maintenance(3) team of qualified workers to
ensure the safety of everyone who utilizes the structures. Second, there is an existing imbalance in the
economy in certain wealthy nations, leading to graduate unemployment when there is a scarcity(4) of
trained labor. Governments in such nations must therefore collaborate with companies to guarantee
that additional vocational training(5) is available.

More individuals should be encouraged to enroll in vocational training programs. It is the responsibility
of schools to add relevant courses into the curriculum so that the focus is not just on preparation for
academic studies at university. Many boys and girls are not academically inclined, but this does not
imply that they are failures in school. Workshops in schools, for example, might give a chance to develop
'hands-on(6) skills,' translating the theory of physics classes to practical applications. Parents could also
assist their children in making career choices by discussing the strong job opportunities and
compensation(7) for manual workers with degrees and abilities.

In conclusion, I believe that it is critical that we encourage more individuals to pursue vocational training
since society cannot operate successfully without such professionals.

Vocabulary:
1. Dispute (v): bàn cãi 5. Vocational training (n): học nghề
2. Labor workers (n): người lao động chân tay 6. Hands-on (adj): thực tế
3. Maintain (v): duy trì 7. Compensation (n): sự đền bù tổn thất
4. Scarcity (n): sự thiếu hụt

Phân tích:
- Bài viết ủng hộ quan điểm nên học nghề để xã hội có được một lớp thợ lành nghề, giàu kinh nghiệm thực tế.

- Các công trình cần được xây mới hoặc cần được khôi phục trì thường trực gồm những công nhân có trình độ để
đảm bảo an toàn; Hơn nữa hiện nay ở nhiều nước phát triển diễn ra tình trạng thất nghiệp sau đại học.

- Do đó, bài viết nêu quan điểm nên khuyến khích nhiều người đăng ký tham gia các chương trình đào tạo nghề; Mặt
khác, các hội thảo trong trường học cũng nên đề cao phát triển 'kỹ năng thực hành' cho sinh viên. Cha mẹ cũng có
thể hỗ trợ con mình bằng cách thảo luận về các cơ hội việc làm hấp dẫn và chế độ đãi ngộ tốt dành cho những người
lao động chân tay có bằng cấp và năng lực.

Sample:
The first bar chart illustrates the proportion of males and females who do household chores(1), and the
second chart compares the average time people of both genders allocate to(2) these activities. Overall,
more women do more cooking and cleaning than men, whereas more men take care of pets and do
household repairs(3). In addition, all respondents reported spending more time cooking and cleaning.

Over 80% of women cook, which is roughly 20% higher than the figure for men. A similar gap is evident
in the data on cleaning, with approximately 60% and 40% for women and men, respectively. While
around a fifth of each group care for pets, men are twice as likely as women to carry out house repairs,
with 18% of men and 9% of women reporting doing so.

Regarding the amount of time spent on domestic tasks(4), women once again outperform(5) men in
terms of cooking and cleaning. Roughly 90 and 70 minutes are allocated to these chores by female
respondents, compared to 60 and 50 minutes by male ones. Although both groups similarly spend 20
minutes on pet care, their average time spent on house repairs differs significantly, with 18 minutes by
men and 4 minutes by women.

Task 2:

Nowadays, sports is a big business with high earnings for professional sports people and
companies involved both financially and in other ways. Is this a positive or negative
development for sports?

Sample:
The world of sports is not only a source of inspiration to the public but also an industry with great
money-making opportunities for athletes and entrepreneurs. From my perspective, this has more
positives than negatives.

On the negative side, the enormous wealth generated by branding and endorsement deals(1) can be a
double-edged sword(2). For one, it might distract athletes from their training and competition,
potentially leading to subpar performances(3) and damaging their careers. For instance, it is not rare
that football stars absent themselves from(4) training sessions, even before crucial matches, to take
part in advertising campaigns of businesses for which they are brand ambassadors(5). In addition,
enormous fortunes acquired after a few years of fame also make them prone to unhealthy or even
destructive behaviours such as alcohol and substance abuse(6). This may destroy their careers and
adversely affect their fans, especially the young.

That said, I believe that professional athletes and sports-related businesses deserve substantial
financial gains(7). First, sportspeople must spend years on intense training(8) to be qualified for top
tournaments and constant risks of injury and the decline in physical abilities at a certain age cause most
of them to have shorter careers than other professions. Therefore, it is justifiable for them to receive
appropriate financial compensation. Second, the economic benefits of sports are significant.
High-profile sports events can attract domestic and international tourists, create jobs in the sporting
goods industry, and generate pride and unity(9) among citizens. Famous athletes can also inspire and
act as role models for many people, encouraging them to lead healthy and determined lives.

In conclusion, financial benefits may lead some sports people astray(10) and adversely affect their
followers. However, because of the certain risks involved as a result of the rigors of sports and their
importance to the economy as well as people's daily lives, the high incomes of those working in this field
are explainable.

Vocabulary:
1. Branding and endorsement deals (n): các hợp đồng quảng bá và bảo chứng cho các
thương hiệu
2. A double-edged sword (n): con dao hai lưỡi
3. A subpar performance (n): màn trình diễn dưới mức trung bình
4. Absent oneself from (v): vắng mặt
5. Brand ambassador (n): đại sứ thương hiệu
6. Alcohol and substance abuse (n): sự lạm dụng rượu và chất kích thích
7. Substantial financial gains (n): lợi ích tài chính đáng kể
8. Intense training (n): sự tập luyện khắc nghiệt

 Task 2:

Some people think that if a country is already rich, any addition in economic wealth does not
make its citizens happier. Do you agree or disagree?

Sample:
There is a current debate about whether a nation's economic growth and increased affluence lead to
greater individual happiness. I believe that economic prosperity plays a vital role in maintaining and
improving individuals’ wellness, so my firm conviction is that the wealthier a nation is, the better it is.

First, governments have the capacity to make substantial investments in sustainable development,
which can yield long-term benefits. Take renewable energy as example; it is regarded as a promising
alternative to fossil fuels since it contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and alleviating
global warming. If the authorities cannot afford the infrastructure that generates enough solar, tidal
power and the like to meet national energy demands, people are bound to live in highly polluted
environments and face extreme climate events(1) frequently.

Secondly, a nation’s stable financial conditions may also lift the overwork burden off its citizens. Flexible
working, shorter working days and more paid holidays have been adopted in many parts of the world.
This enables more quality time with one’s beloved ones and for their leisure pursuits, hence a better
sense of well-being.

Furthermore, wealthy countries have the capacity to allocate more resources towards emergency
preparedness(2), which is crucial in providing necessary aid, such as food, medical assistance, and
rescue operations(3), during unforeseen events, like pandemics and natural disasters. They can also
provide developing and underdeveloped countries with humanitarian aid(4) in such situations and assist
them in economic development. This helps strengthen their diplomatic relations(5), reinforces their
international political position(6), and ultimately maintains a lasting prosperous life for their people.
Lastly, because today’s global economic climate(7) is erratic, wealth accumulation(8) is of greater
importance for any government.

In conclusion, additional economic wealth may promise a sustainably high quality of life and allows
wealthy countries to help others, which benefits the world as a whole.

Vocabulary:
1. Extreme climate event (n): sự kiện khí hậu cực đoan
2. Emergency preparedness (n): việc chuẩn bị cho trường hợp khẩn cấp
3. Rescue operation (n): hoạt động giải cứu
4. Humanitarian aid (n): viện trợ nhân đạo
5. Diplomatic relation (n): mối quan hệ ngoại giao
6. International political position (n): địa vị chính trị trên trường quốc tế

The Tourist Information Bureau received 900 phone inquiries in the first month of 2011, while slightly
under 800 were addressed through letter or email. Just around 400 travelers choose to ask for
information directly, which is not very many. With 1000 inquiries during the next three months,
telephone inquiries continued to be the most common mode. Yet, compared to email and postal
inquiries, the number of face-to-face inquiries increased significantly to 800 emails.

The office had a large increase in in-person inquiries from March to June. During four months, the
number of inquiries received in this manner increased by more than 1,000, reaching a high of 1,900 in
June. The number of telephones increased significantly during this time, reaching 1,600. In contrast,
fewer individuals sent letters or sent emails to inquire, and the total fell to just under 400 at its lowest
point.

Phân tích:
- Nhìn chung, lượng thông tin nhận được qua hình thức gặp trực tiếp và điện thoại tăng nhanh, trong khi hình thức
email giảm mạnh qua từng năm. Đặc biệt, hình thức gặp trao đổi trực tiếp có sự tăng trưởng đột biến, nhanh và
mạnh.
- Có thể thấy đề bài chỉ đưa ra 3 đường thẳng với xu hướng khá rõ ràng, do đó cần tối ưu sự so sánh của mỗi hình
thức qua các năm khác nhau, cũng như so sánh 3 loại hình thức với nhau để tạo sự mạch lạc cho toàn bài.
Các cấu trúc mô tả số liệu được sử dụng linh hoạt, tránh lặp từ/ câu.

Task 2:

In the modern world, it is possible to shop, work and communicate online and live without
any face-to-face contact with others. Is this a positive or negative development?

Sample:
It is true that in today's society, individuals around globe may buy, work, and connect with one another
over the internet. Although there are apparent benefits to this trend, there are also drawbacks to having
less face-to-face interaction(1) with others.

On the one hand, the internet may be very useful in a variety of ways. Many use it to stay in contact with
friends and family, sending instant messages or having a brief conversation(2) via Facebook, Skype, or
WhatsApp. Many people also use the internet for online shopping, saving time and money on
groceries-picking and scouring other websites for offers. In addition, the internet provides the largest
potential advantages in terms of labor work. More and more individuals are working or studying from
home, at times that are convenient for them. By removing the daily trip and the stress of dealing with
rush hour(3), several hours are saved each week.

People, on the other hand, need human interaction as social creatures. For starters, online virtual
connections(4) may not be real. There are several intimidating affairs on social media about children who
have fallen victim to pedophiles, for example. Second, depending on the item, internet purchasing is not
always acceptable. For example, it is essential to try on clothing before purchasing them, and although
a bookworm can find practically any book title they desire online, they will undoubtedly miss exploring
the shelves of bookshops. Lastly, personal connection with coworkers may spark ideas(5) and prevent
misunderstandings.

To summarize, although there are advantages to this trend, there are also advantages to face-to-face
communication that would be a huge loss to society.

Vocabulary:
1. Face-to-face interaction (n): sự tương tác trực tiếp
2. Brief conversation: cuộc hội thoại ngắn
3. Rush hour (n): giờ cao điểm
4. Virtual connection: sự kết nối online/ qua Internet
5. Spark ideas: khơi gợi lên những ý tưởng

Phân tích:
- Bài viết phân tích cả hai khía cạnh lợi và hại của việc sử dụng Internet.
- Về mặt lợi ích, Internet đem lại rất nhiều sự thuận tiên, tiết kiệm chi phí và công sức cho người dùng; Họ có thể làm
việc, mua sắm, kết nối với gia đình & bạn bè ở bất cứ khi nào, bất cứ nơi đâu.

- Tuy nhiên, mặt trái của Internet cũng khá rõ ràng: Người dùng, đặc biệt là trẻ em và trẻ vị thành niên vì lứa tuổi này
dễ bị lừa gạt trên mạng xã hội. Bên cạnh đó, việc mua sắm online cũng có thể là bất lợi cho người mua hàng, vì họ
không thể thử trực tiếp hàng nên dễ gặp phải những sự cố không đáng có. Ngoài ra, làm việc online cũng có thể
gây ra hiểu lầm không đáng có giữa các đồng nghiệp.

Lưu ý: Đối với bài này cần bám sát câu hỏi về vấn đề mua sắm (shop), làm việc (work) và giao tiếp (communicate)
để tránh lạc đề.

significant rise.

In 1990, there were only 55 vehicles per 1,000 people in Brazil, ranking 5th among 8 countries, while the
figure for Romania was also low at just 68, standing in 4th place. In the following decade, these numbers
rose exponentially(2) to 13,580 and 8,012 in that order, putting them in the first and second rank in the
table. On the contrary, although in 1990 motor vehicles were most popular in Luxembourg and New
Zealand, in 2000, they only stood at the 3rd and 4th place, registering(3) an increase of just around 140
and 88 vehicles. The figure for Chile was slightly higher than that of Jordan in 1990, but within a decade,
Jordan’s figure tripled(4) to 157, overtaking(5) Chile.

 Task 2:

Technologies have changed the way children spend their free time. Do you think the
advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

Sample:
The way children today spend their leisure time differs vastly(1) from that in the past and some
contend(2) that advances in technology is the main driver. Although modern forms of entertainment may
provide certain benefits to some children, I would argue that they are completely eclipsed by the
drawbacks.

Improvements in children’s creativity is one of the most quoted advantages by advocates(3) of modern
entertainment. It is often stated that by immersing(4) themselves in video games, young players learn to
think outside the box, which directly translates into improved academic performance. Admittedly, there
are educational(5) games that require players to come up with clever tactics and elaborate strategies(6)
to either beat the game or another player. This argument, however, is not applicable to all young players
since a lot of them are still indulged(7) in violent games that require no thinking at all.

Nevertheless, the downsides are much more evident(8) with damage to children’s health and
abnormal(9) psychological development being the most detrimental(10). Regarding the former, modern
leisure activities are not as active as those in the past and contribute to young children’s sedentary
lifestyle(11). Activities such as watching TV, playing video games, or listening to music are indoor and
require minimal amount of physical movement(12). The popularity of such entertainment media has
caused significant deterioration(14) in children’s health in the form of poor posture(15), weak muscles, and
brittle(16) bones. Children’s cognitive development is also affected by social media platforms that they
use, which is another harmful element to consider. Children nowadays are overstimulated(17) by several
social media channels. Unhealthy dopamine(18) generated from mindless scrolling(19) strips children off
all their desires and goals in life and the result has been a generation of young children without any
purpose in life.

In conclusion, the advantages of modern entertainment for children are negligible(20) compared to their
harm. It is therefore suggested that children should restrain(21) themselves and return to traditional ways
of spending their free time.

Vocabulary:
1. Differs vastly (v): khác biệt rất nhiều 12.Physical movement (n): chuyển động cơ thể
2. Contend (v): cho rằng 13.Entertainment media (n): phương tiện giải trí

Brisband - maximum Brisbane - minimum Brisbane Canberra

Canberra - maximum Canberra - minimum

Sample:
The graph and charts compare the temperatures in degrees Celsius and the number of rainy days
monthly in Brisbane and Canberra, Australia.

Despite similar periodic fluctuations, Brisbane’s maximum and minimum temperatures are consistently
higher than Canberra’s. Moreover, the largest numbers of days with rainfall in Brisbane fall in the first
half of the year, but an opposite pattern is recorded in Canberra.

Brisbane’s maximum and minimum temperatures start at 28 and 27 degrees, the gap of which widens
from April to July and ultimately makes a striking difference(1) of 10 degrees. The temperatures soar in
the remaining months and similarly end at under 30 degrees. Meanwhile, Canberra’s statistics maintain
a gap(2) of 8-10 degrees throughout the period. Standing at 22 and 13 degrees in January, this city's
maximum and minimum temperatures experience a significant drop, reaching troughs(3) of 10 degrees
and 1 degree in July, before starting to rise again later in the year. Regarding the number of days with
rainfall, Brisbane experiences 10-14 rainy days in the first five months, with the peaks recorded in
February and March. After a plateau of 10 days between June and August, this figure reduces by three
days in December. Meanwhile, Canberra experiences seven rainy days from January to September, with
eight days in March being the exception. In the last quarter of the year, this figure sees a 50% surge(4)
to end at 12 days.

 Task 2:

An increasing number of people are choosing plastic surgery. Why do people have operations to
change the way they look? Do you think this is a positive or negative development?

Sample:
Due to many advancements in plastic surgery and the fact that people have become more open-minded
about medical interventions(1), why people adopt such medical procedures and whether they are
advantageous fuel considerable controversy. I am convinced that plastic operations have both positives
and negatives in equal measure.

In recent years, there has been a growing trend of people opting for plastic surgery to alter their
physical appearance. First, birth defects(2) and injuries sustained through accidents likely lead to a
sense of inferiority, hence the fear of negative evaluation(3) and social avoidance(4).
Appearance-based teasing and bullying(5) may also be common in such cases. Second, in societies
where physical attractiveness is highly valued, more and more individuals opt for cosmetics operations
to perfect their looks. A pleasing appearance may lead to admiration(6) and better career prospects,
especially in customer service, sales and entertainment.

From my perspective, the growing popularity of plastic surgery is equally beneficial and detrimental. On
the one hand, these medical procedures help boost self-confidence and self-esteem and provide
people with ample opportunities in life. They may also enable those considered physically unattractive
to avoid appearance-related discrimination. On the other hand, not only are such operations exorbitant,
but they can also carry risks. It is not unheard of for patients to suffer blood loss and infection, which
are sometimes fatal. Unlicensed practitioners(7) may also perform these procedures, further
exacerbating the risks(8).

In conclusion, while plastic surgery can help people achieve their desired appearance and improve their
lives, the high cost and associated risks may discourage many from undergoing such procedures.

Vocabulary:
1. Amedical intervention (n): can thiệp y tế 6. Appearance-related discrimination (n):
2. A birth defect (n): dị tật bẩm sinh phân biệt đối xử liên quan đến ngoại hình
3. Negative evaluation (n): đánh giá tiêu cực 7. An unlicensed practitioner (n): người hành
4. Social avoidance (n): sự né tránh xã hội nghề không có giấy phép
5. Appearance-based teasing and bullying 8. Exacerbate the risks (v): làm trầm trọng
(n): trêu chọc và bắt nạt dựa trên ngoại hình thêm các rủi ro

Phân tích:
Nguyên nhân:
- Có dị tật bẩm sinh và thương tích do tai nạn.
- Ngoại hình ưa nhìn có thể dẫn đến sự ngưỡng mộ và triển vọng nghề nghiệp tốt hơn.

Mặt lợi:
- Nâng cao sự tự tin và lòng tự trọng, đồng thời mang đến nhiều cơ hội trong cuộc sống.
- Tránh được sự phân biệt đối xử liên quan đến ngoại hình.

Income Expenditures

Sample:
The present bar chart offers an overview of the income and expenses of individuals in various age
groups. Statistics are measured in dollars and reported without a disclosed location and period of time.
At first glance, income is often found to be greater than expenditures, except for two extremities(1).
Also, individuals within the age bracket of 35-54 tend to hold the highest budget.

According to the provided data, individuals who fall within the age bracket of 25 years old and below
earn an average income of 28000 dollars while their expenses can approach 30000. As they reach the
age of 25-34, their earnings significantly increase to 59000 compared to 48000 in expenditure, leading
to a relatively higher disposable income(2). This pattern persists through up until the age of 45-54,
where they earn an extremely high income of 79000 whilst paying an expense rate of approximately
60000, highlighting a continuous upward trajectory in their earnings.

As one progresses into the later half of life, the financial resources at their disposal tend to dwindle. At
the age of 55-64, the demographic's average earnings are estimated to be 74000 as their expenses
amount to 56000. 10 years later, the gap significantly reduces with 53000 in income and 47000 in
expenditure. These figures finally meet at a mere 34000 for the last age group.

Vocabulary:
1. Extremities (n): cực / điểm xa nhất
2. Disposable income (n): thu nhập khả dụng
3. A continuous upward trajectory (n): xu hướng đi lên liên tục
4. Dwindle (v): giảm bớt / thu nhỏ lại

 Task 2:

The advantages of the spread of English as a global language will continue to outweigh its
disadvantages. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Sample:
Over the past few centuries, English has emerged(1) as a global language, spreading across the world in
nearly all the continents. While some say that this trend has significant disadvantages, I firmly believe
that the advantages of this expansion will continue to outweigh its negative impact.

Firstly, the spread of English has facilitated increased communication and trade between countries. As
the primary language of science, technology and especially international business, it helps break down
communication barriers(2) and allows for clearer understanding among people of different nationalities.
For example, companies use English as their primary language, allowing them to attract clients from all
over the world, thereby increasing their customer base and expanding their businesses.

Secondly, the prevalence(3) of English offers educational opportunities to millions of people worldwide.
With over 1.5 billion speakers, English is the language of education, especially in fields such as medicine,
engineering, and computer science. Students who learn English can access a wider range of materials
in these fields than those who do not, and thus have a better chance of success in their chosen
professions.

At the same time, there are some disadvantages to the spread of English as a global language. One
major concern is that it promotes cultural homogenization(4), eroding the uniqueness and diversity of
cultures worldwide. However, this argument is somewhat unfounded since people can speak multiple
languages without diminishing their cultural heritage.

In conclusion, I maintain that the advantages of the spread of English as a global language are
remarkable and continue to outweigh its disadvantages. It creates opportunities for greater
communication and enhances people's educational prospects(5). Nevertheless, we must be careful to
ensure that cultural diversity is not undermined as a result of this trend.

Vocabulary:
1. Emerged (v): trỗi dậy 4. Cultural homogenization (n): sự đồng hóa
2. Communication barriers (n): những rào cản văn hóa
trong giao tiếp 5. Educational prospects (n): những triển
3. Prevalence (n): sự thịnh hành vọng học tập / giáo dục

Phân tích:
Quan điểm: đồng ý rằng sự thịnh hành của tiếng Anh vẫn có nhiều lợi hơn hại.
Mặt lợi:
- Thúc đẩy thông thương giữa các quốc gia
- Củng cố quan hệ kinh tế & chính trị trên đấu trường quốc tế
- Doanh nghiệp sử dụng tiếng Anh có thể tiếp cận thị trường rộng lớn
- Sinh viên biết tiếng Anh có khả năng nghiên cứu sâu chuyên ngành đã chọn, dẫn đến kết quả học tập tốt hơn, và

Sample:
The line graph delineates(1) how many visitors visited four specific museums around the world during a
35-year course, from 1980 to 2015.

Overall, the Louvre Museum was the most visited, whereas the Shenzhen and London Science Museum
received the least attention among visitors. It is also worth highlighting that the Louvre Museum and
Vatican Museum enjoyed upswings(2) in the number of visitors, while that of the London Science
Museum seemed to decrease. The Shenzhen Museum, on the other hand, maintained a relatively(3)
stable number of guests during the given period.

Regarding the museums that had increasing attention, the Louvre Museum and Vatican Museum started
at around 8 and 5 million visitors in 1980, respectively. After that, the latter experienced a surge(4) to
roughly 9 million in 2015. Similarly, the figure of the Louvre Museum, despite a dip in 2000, regained its
upward streak to nearly 10 million in 2015.

An opposite pattern could be observed in the number of visitors to the London Science Museum when
it plateaued in the first 5 years at 4 million and thereafter declined to just above half that in 2015.
Meanwhile, the Shenzhen Museum, in spite of a drop to around 3 in 2000, kept its number at

 Task 2:

The increasing use of computers and mobile phones has had a negative effect on young
people’s reading and writing skills. Do you agree or disagree?

Sample:
There has been an extensive(1) use of computers and mobile phones among young people in this day
and age, which is claimed as having an adverse effect(2) on their literacy skills such as reading and
writing skills. I am in complete agreement with this point of view, since the constant stimulations(3) from
these devices and low-quality contents could affect these abilities.

Constant use of computers and mobile phones could deteriorate(4) a person’s reading and
comprehension skills by deflecting(5) users’ attention. This is because these devices enable people to
use multiple applications at the same time with various notifications popping up on their screen, and
therefore, their brains are accustomed to multitasking and being stimulated constantly. It is not rare to
encounter cases of students opening various tabs on their browsers playing music, chatting with
friends and doing homework simultaneously. Hence, the act of deep reading would become harder,
since it takes a long time focusing on only one task while their brains are used to a perpetual(6) state of
interruptions.

Apart from the attention span(7), a person’s writing skill could be affected because of the long
exposure(8) to online contents. As computers and smartphones allow easier access to the Internet, they
are great tools to keep people engaged in online newspaper and social media posts. However, these
contents have a tendency to be short and sensational(9) with a frequent use of slangs(10) and
abbreviations(11). For instance, most of the posts published on Facebook are within two to three
sentences and use words that are barely found in the dictionary. As a result, young people could find it
hard to produce any sentence different from the writing style they see daily.

In conclusion, my firm conviction is that excessive(12) computer and mobile phone usage exerts a
negative impact on how young people read and write. This is because these gadgets make it more
challenging for them to maintain attention and read quality writing pieces.

Vocabulary:
1. Extensive (adj): rộng rãi 7. Attention span (n): khoảng thời gian tập trung
2. Adverse effect (n): ảnh hưởng tiêu cực 8. Exposure (n): sự tiếp xúc
3. Stimulation (n): sự kích thích 9. Sensational (adj): gây ra sự giật gân
4. Deteriorate (v): làm tệ hơn 10. Slang (n): từ lóng
5. Deflect (v): phân tán 11. Abbreviation (n): từ viết tắt
6. Perpetual (adj): không ngừng 12. Excessive (adj): quá mức

Phân tích:
- Quan điểm: đồng ý với quan điểm sử dụng nhiều máy tính và điện thoại di động ảnh hưởng xấu đến khả năng đọc
viết của người trẻ.
- Ảnh hưởng xấu đến khả năng đọc vì: các thiết bị điện tử này khiến người dùng quen với việc làm nhiều thứ một lúc
→ không quen với việc tập trung lâu vào một thứ để đọc và hiểu.
- Ảnh hưởng xấu đến khả năng viết vì: người dùng có thể dùng máy tính và điện thoại di động để truy cập Internet
và quen với việc đọc những bài viết không được trau chuốt từ ngữ → ảnh hưởng đến cách viết của người dùng.

The given line graph compares changes in how much people had to pay for different consumer
products(1) from 1978 to 2009.

Overall, it is clear that all categories saw overall upward trends despite periodic fluctuations(2). Fresh
fruits and vegetables were the most expensive category in most the given period of time.

In 1979, the prices for all consumable products were similar, at around 70. The first 6-year period
witnessed a steady growth to approximately 100 in the prices for the given groups. In the following 24
years, the consumer-price index and the cost of sugar and sweets experienced a gradual climb to 220
and 200 respectively.

The price index on carbonated drinks showed a similar pattern, despite finishing at a lower price (about
150) at the end of the period. The most striking change(3) was seen in the figure for fresh fruits and
vegetables, with the price rocketing(4) and then reaching a peak of nearly 350 within more than 2
decades(5).

 Task 2:

Some cities have vehicle-free days when private cars, trucks and motorcycles are banned from
the city center. People are encouraged to use public transportation such as buses, taxis and
metro on vehicle-free days. To what extent do you think the advantages of this outweigh the
disadvantages?

Sample:
It is true that some metropolises(1) have imposed a ban on private vehicles such as cars, trucks and
motorcycles on certain days to promote the use of public transport among citizens. While this practice
may induce several problems related to a segment of road users(2) and the overall economy, I believe
the benefits it has offered including environmental protection and boosting people’s overall health are
by far more significant.

The introduction of car-free days may lead to some issues. On an individual level, some denizens(3) may
have to sacrifice the convenience of utilizing their own vehicles. More specifically, when not being
allowed to use personal vehicles on some vehicle-free days, people have to change their plans or even
reluctantly(4) go to places that they did not previously plan to visit on those days as public transit does
not often offer available routes to certain destinations. For example, if the Vietnamese Government
launched National bike-free days, most backpackers in the nation would have to amend or even cancel
their bookings at some tourist attractions such as The Sam Mountain in Chau Doc City which is
unreachable by cab or bus as the path leading to such a mountain is only accessible by motorbike. As
a result, visitors find it challenging to reach the spot on the days when their private vehicles are
restricted and may have to travel to other places, resulting in growing frustration(5) among them.
Another feasible drawback could be the adverse impact on the automobile industry. Such policies may
lead to lower demands for private vehicles such as cars or lorries as people may find owning such
means unnecessary, giving rise to a decline in revenue in the automotive industry.

However, I opine that the advantages of banning private vehicles can eclipse its drawbacks. Chief
among these is that the environment can be effectively safeguarded(6). This appears to be because an
increase in the number of private vehicles on the road is one of the contributing factors to numerous
environmental problems as the quantity of exhaust fumes(7) released from car engines can certainly
exacerbate environmental pollution. Public transport,on the other hand, can accommodate(8) a large
number of passengers at a time. thereby reducing carbon footprints and lowering fossil fuel
consumption. As a result, this can help combat global warming and climate change, promoting
sustainable growth(9) in a country. Another obvious benefit is that this approach can promote people’s
overall well-being. On the days car and other private vehicles are prohibited, citizens are encouraged to
walk and cycle to travel a short distance. This can help people avoid leading a sedentary lifestyle(10),
enhancing their physical health. Moreover, people can also promote their mental well-being when using
public transportation. For example, By taking the subway, commuters have the chance to interact with
fellow passengers(11), which can help to alleviate mental health issues such as stress and depression,
and prevent social isolation.

In conclusion, although restricting the use of private means of transport on certain days may be
disadvantageous to a certain extent, I would argue that applying vehicle-free campaigns are far more
beneficial since they allow the environment to be cleaner and improve citizen’s holistic health(12).

Sample:
The maps show how Queen Mary Hospital developed in the years 1980 and 2000 after it had been
constructed in 1960.

Overall, the facilities surrounding Queen Mary Hospital experienced a number of changes, the most
significant of which was the replacement of a shopping center and farmland by a range of new
hospital-related amenities(1), which also saw redevelopments in terms of size and location. Good
overview.

In 1960, a main road ran through the area, and on the south side of that road, on the right-hand side,
there was a hospital, which was in front of a parking area for cars. Over the following 20 years, in 1980,
the main road, along with the hospital and the car park, remained the same, whereas a shopping center,
which used to be located to the left of the hospital, was demolished to make way for(2) a cancer centre
and a pharmacy. Another notable change is that the original land for farming was knocked down and a
nursing school took its place.

As for developments in the year 2000, no changes were made to the main road, the hospital and the
pharmacy, whereas the remaining facilities saw major transformations. In particular, the area to the
south of the hospital experienced two changes, with the car park reducing by a half in terms of size and
situated in the back right-hand corner, and the nursing school also becoming smaller and being moved
eastwards(3) to be situated adjacent to(4) the aforementioned car park. Finally, the cancer center was
significantly expanded, occupying the space of(5) a nursing school.

 Task 2:

More and more people no longer read newspapers or watch TV programs to get news. They get
news about the world through the Internet. Is this a positive or negative development?

Sample:
With the widespread availability(1) of the Internet, an increasing number of people have turned to this
platform rather than newspapers or televisions to access news. Although there are certain drawbacks
regarding the growing popularity of online news readers(2), I believe that this development is
predominantly advantageous(3).

Admittedly, there are certain issues involved when the Internet has become the main means of
obtaining news(4). To begin with, there is a higher possibility of encountering misleading(5) information
and fake news. This is mainly because there has been a growing trend for amateur journalism, which
means that amateur journalists(6) or even ordinary people can be involved in the process of reporting
and writing news. In contrast, news from newspapers or TV programs are more trustworthy(7) since
these are established media sources(8) which employ professional journalists and editors. Moreover,
online sources often distort(9) the reality and cover negative stories for the purpose of attracting a far
wider readership(10), thus exposing online news readers to sensitive and violent information. This is in
stark contrast to newspapers and TV programs which strictly regulate and censor(11) any pieces of news
before they can be published or viewed by the public.

Despite the disadvantages above, I believe the benefits of online news consumption(12) are much more
significant. First of all, internet literacy(13) is increasing, with readers and viewers trying to hone(14) their
critical faculties and fact-checking reports by independent means before accepting and sharing them.
There is also the multiplicity of news sites, which makes it possible to cross-reference(15) what we read.
Furthermore, amateur journalism has gradually received more trust among the public. This could be
attributed to the fact that citizen journalists(16) and open sites are getting the scoop(17) on major stories,
and with the growth in online versions of newspapers, the public can easily comment, point out errors,
and share alternative viewpoints, potentially creating a sense of trust and shared responsibility
between the media and local communities. Finally, due to rigorous news censorship(18), newspapers
and TV programs are selective(19) in what can be published, whereas online news consumers can get
access to a range of topics, such as politics, showbiz, army, corruption and scandals, which would
better suit the public taste(20) by adding variety to their life.

In conclusion, while the growing popularity of accessing news via online sources does bring some
problems, in my view, this development is a desirable one.

Sample:
The given line chart details how much money an unidentified country earned from exporting five
different products in two consecutive years(1) (2015 and 2016), and the table illustrates the rate of
change in turnovers.

The initial impression from the chart is that revenues generated from most products increased except
Gems and jewelry, with textiles witnessing the most significant rise despite making the lowest incomes.
It is evident that Petroleum products were the main export commodities, despite [1] having smaller
percentile increase(2) compared to others.

In 2015, Petroleum products brought 60 billion in revenue(3), which ranked first among five categories.
This is followed by engineered goods (around 57 billion). The former then saw a 0,81% increase to
approximately 63 billion, while the latter showed an 8.5% climb, reaching 62 billion in 2016. A similar
picture was seen in the figure of Agricultural products, increasing from just over 30 billion to nearly 33
billion (+0.81%) in the same timeframe.

Textiles experienced a comparable pattern(4), with its figure, albeit lowest in 2015, showing a dramatic
jump of 15.24 % from 27 billion in the starting year. An opposite trend(5) was shown in the statistics of
Gems and Jewelry, as they dropped slightly from 43 billion in 2015 to just above 40 billion (-5.18%) in
the next year.

 Task 2:

Some people believe teenagers should focus on all subjects equally, whereas other people think
that they should concentrate on only those subjects that they find interesting. Discuss both the
views and provide your opinion.

Sample:
Education plays an inextricable(1) role in deciding what kind of person we become and which career we
choose and therefore finding the optimal curriculum has been a perennial debate. Some believe that
schools should focus on subjects that can arouse students’ interest, while others assert that
adolescents(2) should be exposed to all disciplines evenly. From my perspective, whilst the former
approach is highly suitable for talented students, the latter is more appropriate for average ones.

On the one hand, young talents in athletic or artistic fields and gifted students who excel
academically(3) should be allowed to concentrate more on subjects that pique their interest. The
rationale is that they would be more motivated, engaged, and invested, leading to mastery(4) of their
favorite fields. Such talents should also be given permission to study at their own pace due to their
faster progress, and since teachers can tailor(5) the curriculum to meet students’ needs, they tend to
challenge themselves with trickier tasks in order to achieve their full potential. Vietnam provides an
example of this approach, as the country supports elite athletes(6), artists, and top scholars in
prioritizing their preferred subjects during their teenage years.

Most ordinary students, on the other hand, should be exposed to all disciplines equally, thereby
enabling them to gain a comprehensive(7) understanding of the world. By combining this approach with
appropriate career guidance, students can gain a better understanding of their strengths and
weaknesses, which can lead to greater self-confidence and improved decision-making when it comes
to career choices.[this sentence is overly complicated] Another compelling point is that these students
can develop transferable skills(8) such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication by
understanding how different disciplines interact with each other. These qualities can make them highly
employable as all of which cannot be fully recreated by AI or technological advancement.

In conclusion, I am convinced that students who are endowed(9) with aptitudes for sports or arts and
those who are academically inclined should put more effort on their strong suits, while a balanced
education is more suitable for most average ones.

Sample:
The bar charts present statistics regarding learning motive(1) among students from various age groups
and support that they receive from employer while undertaking(2) their study.

In general, as people get older, their study motivation shift from furthering(3) their career to pursuing(4)
their interest [good observation]. It is also worth mentioning that those under 26 receive the most
support from their employer.

The first bar chart reveals that on average, 70% of people under 26 to 39 years old study to gain better
career prospect(5) while the mean(6) for those who do so for interest is only 15%. Despite that, this gap
disappeared in those from 40-49 with the two groups having similar figure at just over 40% each. The
dynamic(7), however, is reversed for those over 49 with the majority of them (70%) study because of
their interest whilst less than 20% study to advance(8) their job.

Regarding the second graph, 65% of those under 26 received support from their company (both in the
form of day leave(9) and tuition reimbursement(10)). This figure is lower for people in the next age
brackets(11), at just over 50% and 35% respectively. Surprisingly, for the last two groups in the spectrum,
nearly 40% and 45% of them stated that they receive monetary and non-monetary(12) aid from their

 Task 2:

Some people believe that crime is a result of social problems and poverty, others think that
crime is a result of a bad person’s nature. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Sample:
Crime has existed ever since there was human civilisation. Many believe that people commit crimes
because of their circumstances(1) while others contend(2) that it is because criminals are inherently
evil(3). While the latter view can be justified for some reasons, I am more inclined towards the former.

People tend to attribute(4) crime to the wrongdoer’s(5) nature because in many cases, people witness
unfathomable(6) atrocities(7) carried out for seemingly no clear reason. Such association often emerges
whenever tragic(8) events such as mass shootings or multiple murders occur. The public’s quick jump to
conclusion is understandable since in most cases, the perpetrator(9) does not have previous criminal
record and the victims are selected randomly, leaving some people with no alternative explanation
rather than blaming their corrupt(10) personality.

However, I believe that the aforementioned explanation does not paint the whole picture because even
the most unlawful acts can have their roots in the social and economic milieu(11) of their time. Firstly, the
background of many offenders have revealed that they were either abused as a child or were victim of
bullying in their adolescence years. Incidences like that often damage their mental well-being to the
point where they might desire retaliation(12) even several years later. Despite that, abuse and bullying
are still pervasive(13) in many societies and do not receive as much attention from lawmakers(14) as they
deserve. For other more common types of crimes icluding robbery, theft or smuggling, law-breakers(15)
are often well aware of the risk that they might face when they get caught but for most of them, there
is simply no other means to make ends meet. Many of them are born into underprivileged(16) families
and do not have good education, which leaves them with no opportunity to find a job. Unable to find a
way to make a living, these people resort to crime.

In conclusion, social issues and poverty breeds crime. It is therefore suggested that people and the
government should work together to alleviate those problems and reduce crime rather than blaming on
offenders’(17) nature.
