To sum up, from what I have just discussed above, there are 3 main benefits of
…including…,....,.....

Taking a gap- year:


- Reduce stress

Taking a gap – year makes me reduce stress after spending many years finishing challenging courses
in high school or college instead of suffering pressure from finding a job or studying.

+ I will use this time to travel and experience different cultures. This exposure can broaden my
perspective, and improve my adaptability (khả năng thích ứng)

+ A gap year can be a chance to recharge and avoid burnout. It provides a break to rejuvenate
rəˈjo͞ovəˌnāt (trẻ hoá: động từ) and approach future challenges with renewed energy.

+ Studying further and applying for a job can put me under a lot of pressure such as heavy loads of
paperwork or homework. So I feel demotivated.

- Prepare for academic and professional success

+ A gap year can offer the time to explore different fields, hobbies, or career options. It can help
clarify (làm rõ) what you truly want to pursue long term.

+ The perfect way to make my CV shine with real-life experience before pursuing a job is to engage
in community service or volunteering, find an internship, or do different part-time jobs.
+ Studying further almost only accumulates (tích luỹ) theories from textbooks that lack hands-on
experiences.

+ Applying for a job is hard to get a good job because I don’t have enough experience to compete
with many other candidates. (ứng cử viên )

WHAT TO DO WITH 1 BILLION YOU HAVE WON:


- Deposit it in a bank
- Buy a TV
- Hold a party
- Safety and security (an toàn và bảo mật): When I deposit money in a bank, it is well protected
from theft, loss, or damage. (tránh bị trộm cắp, mất mát, hư hỏng). I don’t need to keep eyes
on my money all the time.
(well làm vai trò trạng từ)
- By depositing money in a bank, I can earn interest on my savings. My money will grow over
time (qua thời gian). This reduces the financial burden for me in the future. For example, if I
am unluckily unemployed , I don’t worry too much about money.
- Depositing money in a bank helps me save money for my future. I have a lot of plans in the
future that I need to use money for: take care of my family, buy a house, start up a business,....
- Buy a TV: I already have a TV, so it’s not necessary to buy another one. Besides, TV is not a
popular means of media. Nowadays, we have more options for relaxation and updating
information such as social networks.
(means: mean mà thêm s thì dịch là “phương tiện” chứ ko phải là “ nghĩa là”)
- Hold a party: Spending 1 billion on holding a party, to me, is just a waste of money/ It only
brings immediate entertainment. Therefore, I would rather spend it for long-term benefits.
My situation is…….
In my opinion, summer campaign is the best choice because of the following reasons
- Firstly, participating in a summer campaign allows teenagers to develop many skills such as
leadership, communication, problem-solving, and organization skills.
- Secondly, joining a summer campaign provides teenagers with opportunities for personal
growth and self-discovery. It helps them build confidence, and a sense of responsibility.
- Third, taking part in the summer campaign, my nephew has a chance to work with many
people, which allows him to widen his relationship and develop valuable connections with
peers, mentors, and professionals. (= experts)
There are several reasons why I don’t choose other options.
- I don’t think a summer course is a good choice because 9 months studying at school is enough
for him to improve his knowledge. Summer should be the time for kids to relax after a
stressful school year. In addition to knowledge from textbooks, kids need to improve life
skills which are very important for their personal life and career in the future.
- Although staying with grandparents sounds good, I don’t choose it since spending a whole
summer break with grandparents could be boring because of the generation gap.
Grandparents don’t share the same interest with kids, so he has no one to play with (ông bà ko
cùng sở thích với con anh ấy ko có ai chơi cùng). Besides, staying at home does not bring any
new and interesting experiences to him.
To sum up, if I were in that situation, I would choose the summer campaign due to the above reasons.

(nephew: cháu trai >< niece: cháu gái)


sense of responsibility: tinh thần trách nhiệm

There indeed are many factors that can help one to become a good teacher. It's
Firstly, knowledge is a prerequisite. A good teacher needs to have a rich knowledge of the field they
teach because they have to explain and answer almost all the questions of students. Besides

PART 3:

ĐỀ 1: A GOOD TEACHER: knowledge, methods, dedication (passion)

There are several factors that contribute to becoming a good teacher.


Firstly, possessing knowledge is essential. A good teacher should have a deep understanding of the subject
they teach because they are responsible for imparting knowledge from textbooks and real-life experiences.
They are like a walking dictionary, capable of explaining and answering almost all students’ questions,
thereby building students' beliefs. Therefore, teachers need to continuously enhance their expertise by
accumulating experiences and staying updated with advances in teaching and society.

Furthermore, effective knowledge transmission requires good teaching methods. This helps students
understand easily and feel comfortable in lessons. For example, teachers can organize many different
interesting activities such as mini-games, and apply technology in their lessons.

Teaching is not easy. To become a good teacher, they must truly love their job, students, and work
environment. In fact, besides good and obedient students, teachers have to deal with stubborn and students
with bad learning attitudes. In addition, the salary is low. To do this job well, they need a strong passion to
pursue it for a long time

Process: quá trình

Prossess: sở hữu

Imparting: truyền đạt, transmisson: sự truyền đạt

Continuously: liên tục

Obey (v) -> obedient (a) -> obedience (n): vâng lời

Stubborn (a) -> stubborness (n): bướng bỉnh

PART 3: ĐỀ 2: A GOOD JOB

The importance of job satisfaction, salary, and work environment can vary
greatly depending on individual preferences(sở thích), career goals, and
personal circumstances (hoàn cảnh, trường hợp,..)

The first thing that springs to my mind is salary. In fact, the purpose of applying
for a job is to take money to cover costs including living fees, transport fees,
fuel feed,...Therefore, they are concern about the salary with the expectation it
will be enough for those costs. A good job provides them a high and stable
salary not only allows them to have a qualitative living but also save for
retirement. A competitive salary can be a key motivator, especially for those
with significant financial responsibilities or long-term financial goals.

The second thing worth mentioning is job satisfaction. In particular, job


satisfaction is crucial because it encompasses (=include) a sense of fulfillment
and engagement (sự gắn bó, sự cam kết) with one's work. High job satisfaction
often leads to increased motivation, productivity, and overall well-being.

The last thing shouldn't be overlooked is the work environment. To illustrate


this point, a good work environment consists of qualitative and modern
facilities, spacious workrooms equipped with computers, air conditioners,
friendly colleagues, and both good relationships between superiors and
subordinates, not office drama. As a result, in this environment, people feel
comfortable, increase productivity, and can commit long term with their job,
company.

In conclusion, from what I have just discussed above, there are 3 significant
factors to having a good job.

Dạng 1: Popularity

Đề 1: “ Advantages and disadvantages of study abroad”

Open: (Đề) is becoming more and more prevalent nowadays.While there are
several benefits in this trend, I believe that the drawbacks are more significant.
This essay will analyze both the advantages and disadvantages of (đề)

Body

Many people agree that (đề ) has brought SO many advantages.

- Firstly, it provides the opportunity for personal development. In particular,


living in a foreign country allows students to widen their horizons by traveling
to different countries, exploring various cultures and customs, and enhancing
many skills such as language, communication, problem-solving, and
decision-making skills. These are important for their personal growth in life and
future careers, allowing them to increase self-confidence and step out of their
comfort zones.

- Secondly, studying abroad provides access to world-class education. Students


have a chance to learn from leading experts in various fields and access to
modern technology with advanced teaching methods.

On the other hand, there are also plenty of negative effects of (đề) that should
not be ignored.

-Living far away from family and friends makes them feel homesick and lonely.
In addition, one of the most common concerns is the financial burden. For
instance, tuition fees, living costs, and travel costs can be expensive, making it
inaccessible for many students. (khiến nhiều sv khó có thể tiếp cận).
- Moreover, studying abroad generally causes many culture shocks because of
the differences in culture and lifestyles. It will be challenging to learn to adapt
to a new living environment.

Conclusion

In conclusion, there are both positive and negative effects of studying abroad.
However, I believe that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

- Immersion in language environment: đắm mình trong mt ngôn ngữ

Đề 2: “ Avantages and disavantages of cohabitation”

(Live together before marriage = move in together before marriage = live with
an unmarried partner before getting married)

Cohabitation is becoming more and more prevalent nowadays. While there are
several benefits in this trend, I believe that there are also many drawbacks we
need to notice. This essay will analyze both the advantages and disadvantages
of living together before marriage.

Many people agree that cohabitation has brought people many advantages.

Firstly, cohabitation allows couples to test their compatibility to reduce the


chances of divorce later. For example, it provides a trial run for marriage such
as discovering their lifestyles, habits, expectations, and characters. If things do
not work well, they can easily walk out of the relationship than walk out of
marriage.

Secondly, moving in together before marriage allows couples to reduce living


costs. To illustrate this point, cohabitation means sharing rent, energy bills,
housing maintenance, etc. Besides, they usually eat at home, which allows them
to save money on expensive dates, outings, eating out, fuel, etc. So they can use
these costs to travel together. Living together is economical.

On the other hand, there are also many negative effects of living together before
marriage should not be ignored. Cohabitation increases the chance of breaking
up. In particular, smoother the fires of passion the excitement. Therefore, they
become bored with each other easily and walk out of the relationship because of
no legal obligation, responsibilities, or commitment.

Moreover, women face criticism. According to Asian cultures, women are


supposed to preserve purity. So if things do not well, they are often criticized. It
is hard for them to begin a new relationship.

In conclusion, there are both positive and negative effects of cohabitation.


However, I think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Đề 3: “Effects of tourism on local communities”

Advantages

- The tourism industry can help support local economies by creating jobs and
income opportunities for people living near tourist attractions. Local people can
make a lot of money from various jobs in hospitality, conservation, and other
related fields.

- When tourism grows, local communities will be financially supported by the


state. Governments must provide funds to maintain and promote its sustainable
development in the region. For example, funds are used to maintain parks and
keep loggers, and hunters out of them, upgrading the infrastructure or bringing
important technology and resources into struggling communities that can help
achieve development objectives

- upgrade: nâng cấp

-state (n) chính phủ, (v): tuyên bố

- infrastructure =facility

- obtain = achieve

Disadvantages
- Local people are sometimes relocated to make room for tourism developments
and further conservation efforts. They may be pushed out and lose control of
their land.

- The local ecosystem may be destroyed if access to popular natural resources


isn't limited and closely monitored. Irresponsible tourism can lead to noise,
litter, and pollution that can damage the natural environment.

degrade = destroye : làm suy thoái = phá huỷ

Irresponsible : vô trách nhiệm

Litter : rác thải

Monitor : giám sát

Make room for: nhường chỗ

Push out: đẩy

infrastructure = facilities : cơ sở hạ tầng =cơ sở vật chất

fund: quỹ

support = subsidized

state = country

conversation: cuộc trò chuyện

conservation: khu bảo tồn

hospitality: khách sạn

sustainable: bền vững

Đề 4: “Advantages and disadvantages of building sky trains to solve problem
of congestion in cities”

Nowadays, sky trains play an important role in solving traffic jams. Some
people believe that building skytrain is beneficial in aspects. However, there are
also certain drawbacks that should not be ignored. This essay will analyze both
advantages and disadvantages of building skytrain.

It is visible that building skytrain can benefit people in many aspects, one
of which could be that is convenient and quick to travel. To illustrate this
point, there are many private vehicles in big cities, so people usually get
stuck in traffic congestion during rush hour which is time-consuming. Sky
trains use a separate route that means it takes less time than other vehicles
on the ground such as cars, ground trains to move from one destination to
another. As a result, people save commuting time and congestion time.
Another advantage which should not be overlooked is that it occupies
minimal land. Because of the fact that one of the big concerns of building
public transport system on the ground is unavailability/lack of vacant land
space in crowded cities while sky trains run overhead that reduces pressure
because they do not require much land space. Consequently, building
skytrains allows us to save space for many other vehicles and save time on
moving.

On the other hand, besides the above–mentioned advantages, there are


also several negative effects. One of which may be the financial burden.
Because of the fact that this is a big project that requires the latest technologies,
leading experts, and high safety standards. As a result, people have to spend
lots of money to do it. In addition, it creates noise pollution. In particular, it
make lots of noises when they pass by. Consequently, people who live near sky
trains are affected by noise which reduces their living standard.

In conclusion, building sky trains is very beneficial. However, there are


also many drawbacks. It is important to understand that the merits far outweigh
the demerits.

EXAMPLE DẠNG 1:
BÀI 1 (in syllabus)
Some students prefer the group study method for their learning process while
others prefer the individual learning method. Which one is more beneficial ?
Write an essay to educated reader to discuss and give your opinion about the
two mentioned learning methods.

Nowadays, learning methods play an important role in students’ learning


process. Some people think that learning in group is beneficial for them.
However, some others believe that learning on their own is the best solution for
them. In this essay, I will examine both sides and state my own opinion.
On the one hand, group study is widely supported because of many
reasons. Firstly, learning in groups allows learners to share their ideas together.
In particular, during the study time, students listen to what their fellows say and
debate with each other about any problem. Consequently, communication skills,
listening skills and critical thinking are greatly improved. Secondly, peer
pressure can be a positive force which both motivate and challenge learners to
do their best. When learners know their performance and contributions affects
someone else in the company, they are likely to step up efforts so that they do
not their partners down.
On the other hand, people who go against learning in groups give many
arguments to support self- study. First of all, learners can be distracted by
unnecessary conversations if they study with their classmates. For example,
they may discuss their common interests or daily events happening around the
world. Therefore, they can not concentrate and waste their time. Moreover,
learners can actively arrange their timetable if they study alone, but they need to
depend on others when they studying in groups. As a result, students can work
out their own learning time that suits their busy schedule and ensure a promising
result.
In conclusion, each learner has a certain (nhất định) method that can suit
both their learning styles and schedules. Although there are strong arguments
for each study method, personally, I believe that group study is more effective
since learners’ understanding of the subject matter can be improved when they
exchange what they know with someone else.

group study = learning in group


individual learning = learning in their own = study alone = seft -study

ĐỀ 2:
“Love marriage and arranged marriage. Discuss both views and give your
opinion?”

Marriages play an important role in people’s lives. Some people think that
love marriage is beneficial for them. However, some others believe that
arranged marriage offers/brings several/various advantages/positive
effects/impacts. In this essay, I will discuss/examine both sides and state my
own opinion.

On the one hand, love marriage is widely- supported because of several


reasons. First of all, it is impossible to argue against the fact that love marriage
stems from true love. In particular, the love of these couples is a strong
emotional connection, in the big world, they find each other and feel happy
when enjoying life together. The second reason why is that a love marriage
helps people have a better understanding. In fact, before getting married,
couples have chances to get each other to understand their partner such as
habits, favorites, and dislikes. This allows them to build a strong partnership.

On the other hand, who go against love marriage have various arguments to
support arranged marriage. Firstly, it is true to say that families are deeply
involved in the process .To illustrate this point, they help choose their partner
which often means that the couple has strong support from family. Therefore,
ensuring a stable marriage. Additionally, arranged marriages increase
compatibility. This is because of the fact that families consider a marriage
based on the partner’s background, knowledge, behaviors, and character. For
example, their parents will examine fields such as jobs, economics, education,
etc which are also necessary for building a strong relationship. Last but not
least, one can not deny that arranged marriages assist couples to reduce
pressure. For instance, they are not too worry about dating, finding their own
partner. Consequently, they only focus on getting to understand each other.

In conclusion, these facts still cause arguments in the public. Although


people claim that arranged marriage brings several positive effects, I am leaning
toward love marriage offers various advantages. People should have further
consideration between both these aspects/ this issue.

EXAMPLE DẠNG 2:
BÀI 1: “It is believed that physical education should be compulsory at school to
prevent (ngăn chặn) childhood obesity. Do you agree or disagree ?”

Some people believed that physical education should be


essential/obligatory/compulsory at school to prevent/ avert childhood obesity. In my
opinion, I totally agree with this idea. In this essay, I will state several reasons and
examples to support my viewpoint.
Firstly, one important reason is that PE helps children stay active. In particular,
in PE classes, students take part in exercises and sports that get them moving. Regular
physical activity burns calories and builds muscle, which helps prevent weight gain
(tăng cân). Besides, when children enjoy activities like running, swimming or playing
team sports, they are more likely to continue being active outside of school.
Secondly, another reason should not be overlooked is that PE teaches children
about the importance of a healthy lifestyle. This is because of the fact that, in
addition to physical activities, PE classes often include lessons on nutrition and
healthy eating. By learning about the right foods to eat and how to balance their diet,
children can make better choices that support their overall health (sức khoẻ tổng
thể) (healthy: tính từ)
(bằng việc học tập về các thực phẩm đúng để ăn và cách để cân bằng chế độ ăn của
mình, trẻ em có thể đưa ra những lựa chọn tốt hơn để hỗ trợ cho sức khoẻ tổng thể của
mình).
Thirdly, it is true to say that PE encourages children to develop good habits
early on (ngay từ đầu). When children have a routine of regular exercise, they are
more likely to continue these habits into adulthood. This can help prevent obesity and
promote a lifetime of good health. (promote: thúc đầy, lifetime: trọn đời)

In conclusion, the fact that [physical education should be


essential/obligatory/compulsory at school to prevent/ avert childhood obesity] still
causes arguments in the public. Personally, I completely agree with this idea for the
above- mentioned information.

EXAMPLE DẠNG 2:
BÀI 2
It is suggested by some people that art subjects such as music, drama, and
creative writing are compulsory partS of education, and every school should include
them in its curriculum. In my opinion, I agree with this idea because of several
reasons.

Firstly, it is impossible to argue against the fact that these subjects can help
students reduce stress after studying natural science classes. STEM subjects are
complicated and require high concentration. Additionally, students often struggle with
the pressure of a large amount of homework while art subjects can provide students
with a way to relax and refresh their minds, making it easier and more efficient (a) for
them to understand and study for their next lesson.
Secondly, another reason is that art subjects improve performance in other
subjects. In particular, they enhance hand-eye coordination, problem-solving skills,
imagination, and creativity, all of which are necessary for success in other subjects.
For example, Geometry supports students to visualize and imagine the relationships
between points, lines, curves and surfaces. Consequently, it attains promising learning
outcomes.
Last but not least, it is true to say that art subjects strengthen the creativity
and flexibility of individuals. Nowadays, the age of (thời đại của)` automation and
artificial intelligence, human labor and office work will be replaced more and more.
Human creativity is more important, therefore art subjects help to make a difference
between individuals and computers.
In conclusion, art subjects should include them in its syllabus. I totally agree
with this idea because of the above- mentioned advantages.

- complicated: phức tạp


- attain (v) -> attainment (n): sự đạt được
- gain: lấy đc
- performance: hiệu quả, hiệu suất, năng suất = productivity = efficiency (n) =
effectiveness
- efficiency (n) -> efficient (a), productive
- effective (a): ảnh hưởng -> effectiveness : hiệu quả
- syllabus = curriculum : chương trình học, giáo trình học
- promise (v, n) : hứa/ lời hứa -> promising (a)

ROAD ACCIDENTS: CAUSE - SOLUTION


This problem is caused by several factors and several solutions should be
adopted by governments and individuals to improve this issue.
There are various reasons behind this situation. Firstly, road accidents result
from are caused by drivers’ distracted concentration when driving. For instance,
some people use mobile phones or even eat, drink while driving. This let they can not
react quickly when having sudden changes on the road. Secondly, drunk is responsible
for traffic accidents. In fact, some driver do not obey traffic laws and they drink
alcohol before engaging in driving. As a result, they do not think clearly and can not
solve sudden problems, too. An additional cause of road accidents is the poor
infrastructure conditions. Most of the roads in rural areas, especially in remote areas,
have uneven surfaces. Commuting in these ways, people are easily stuck in potholes.
There are two effective ways to deal with the problems. Firstly, enhancing the
awareness of people when participating in traffic is necessary. That's good behavior if
people only focus on driving, and do not use mobile phones, eat or drink. Especially,
drivers absolutely drink alcohol when taking part in it, this allows them to drive safely
and obey traffic laws well. As a result, drivers protect themself and road accidents are
reduced significantly. A second measure would be that governments need care and
have methods to solve poor facilities conditions. For example, fixing the old or
damaged roads or building some new widely streets helps citizens drive convenient
and easily.
In conclusion, there are various reasons causing traffic accidents. However, I
believe that if appropriate steps are taken, we will be able to solve the problem for a
better future.

DEFORESTATION: CAUSES - EFFECTS

This essay will discuss several reasons why this has occurred and examine the
consequences of this worrying trend.

There are various reasons behind this situation. Firstly, deforestation results are
caused by excessive logging by humans. In particular, trees are cut down for wood
and paper products. Even some people only because of their personal benefits. For
example, they can earn a lot of money from valuable wood trees, and design chairs
and tables to decorate their living room. Besides, illegal logging is a serious problem
in many countries where strict laws to protect forests are not enforced. Secondly,
farmers destroy forests to create fields for painting crops such as soybeans, corn, and
coffee are responsible for deforestation. In addition, these fields not only plant crops
but also make space for grazing cattle.
The impacts of this have been and will continue to be very serious. Firstly,
deforestation leads to climate change. Additionally, loss of biodiversity is also an
unavoidable consequence of this worrying trend.
