Topic 1: If you could change one important thing about your country, what would you

change?
Our world is changing everyday and we also have to change to catch up with the modernization
of it and to make our country better. If I could change one important thing about my country, I
will change our method of teaching in education.
Education is very crucial to everyone and every country. The future of one country depends on
the youth and the youth depends on the education. In my country, students still have to do too
much homework so they have less time to play and take part in other interesting activities. They
also have to learn by heart all of the contents in the textbook. Students feel tired after school and
of course, their results cannot as good as they want. Because of that, to have more excellent
students, we should decrease the exercises they must do at home and teach them how to learn
effectively so that when they work, they can organize everything properly and precisely.
Education not only decides the future of one country but it also decides the future of the whole
world. If the next generation receives a good schooling, they can contribute much for the society
with all of their responsibility. To do that, we have to make the students be interested in the
lessons not make them be bored when they look at a list of assignments to do. There are many
research proved that if the students are willing to learn, their score will be higher because they
pay much attention the lessons.
A good method of teaching and learning also express the care of the government in education to
develop the country. For example, when a group of professors from another country visit our
country and some of our schools, they will see how the teacher works in the class and how the
students react to the lessons with the support of modern equipment. If they see both of them well
co-operate, they can realize that this country invests a lot in education and the government takes
care of the next generation very carefully.
Therefore, if I have a chance to change one important thing in my country, my priority is to make
the method of teaching better.
Topic 2: How do movies or television influence people's behavior?
Currently,medias,such as televisions,radios,movies,internet etc.. are more impact in ours
behavior.
a) Good behavior:
-The best influence on our behavior is that movies and television reduce stress.
- sometime movies show positive ways to resolve problems we all face
- With the movies or television,you can be persuaded to do good thing such as as helping
people,capturing the robber,taking care his/her parent, and receive the good things too, like
award,peoples praise,love like the film.
- You will become fashionable, the clother you wear, the car you driver, etc..like superstar on TV,
and every body will admire you
b) Bad behavior:
- They make us less active. If we watch too much, we become unhealthy, both mentally and
physically.
- We stop using our own imagination when we see things acted out for us.
- we'd rather watch sports on TV than play sports ourselves.

- people is lazy to get more information in news papers, magazzines etc so they only turn on their
TV and watch only what people want to tell the audience
- many children watch TV too much without exercises.
- More and more violent behaviors are shown on TV today. As a result, they become persist
obsessions in peoples mental and gradually lead them to violence in real life.Many young
criminals are found to commit crimes due to the fact that they simply imitate what they have seen
on the screen
- Television is a very powerful means of communication ,and by it's power influence in many
ways people's behaviour . Sometimes in a positive way , sometime in a negative way , depends on
each of us what we pick up from television and movies and add to our behaviour.
Topic 3: In some coutries, teenagers have job while they are still student. Do you think this
is good idea ?
In my opinion, they both have disadvantages and advantages. I base my opinion on the
following points.I
From one side, a working student has many benefits. First of all, a person learns how to arrange
time to be able to combine his studding and earning money. Personally, I think it is a very
important benefit a person can get from this. Second of all, a student learns how to save money
and keep his budget. A person gains new experience and knowledge working with the new
people. He feels more independently and spends his or her money more careful.
From the other side, a person can have not enough time to meet his or her course requirements.
Sometimes it may result in a failure on an exam and a waste of money and time. From my
everyday experience and observation some people require more time to study new materials and
prepare for an exam. Others, at the same, can easy understand new materials. So, my point is that
a person should decide for himself whether he will be able to combine his studding and his
working. Another important aspect of getting a job is that a student most likely will have no time
for parties, movies and his friends. I think that he or she should understand this fact.
To summarize, I believe that a working experience will give a student more benefits in the future
than it takes from him or her in the present.
Topic 4: What is a very important skill person should learn in order to be successful in the
world to day ?
a)

Communication skill:

Upon the question that what is the very important skill a person should learn in the world today,
different people have differnt opinions. In my point of view, I perfer to think that communication
is the most impotant skill for almost every person. There are many reasons to support my view.
Firstly, communication is a bridge between people. Nobody is omnipotent; people depend on one
another in their daily lives. We all hope we can be become the person who masters every skills
and can complete every kind work by ourselves. However the real world tells us that this just is a
dream. Therefore, people are interdependant, no can can say that he does not need other people's
help. The society requires cooperation among people. Communication is the link. Communication
is the first step of successful cooperation among people. By communication, we exchange of
thoughts and information, and get other people understand our needs and ideas. For example, in a
company, big or small, a manager always has to communicate with his boss, coleagues and
subordinates.

Secondly, communication can help us keep friendship and make new friends. Friends need to
communicate to each other, so that they know each other's needs and feelings. Indeed, the most
important qualities of a friend is communication and understanding. If you are a good
communicator, it is very easy for you to keep your friendship and make new friends. If you do not
communicate with your friends, you will not only feel lonely, but also can eventually loss your
friends.
From all above, I think that communacation is the most important skill for people to survive in
this society. I hope everybody works hard to get the skill.
b)

Self-Learning:

With the development of science and technology, the world is no longer what it used to be.
Everyone should master one or more skills in order to survive and succeed in the world. As far as
I am concerned, the most important skill one should learn is to teach himself or herself.
To begin with, no one can depend on a teacher in the whole life. In high school and university,
several teachers can teach you physics, chemistry, biology and so on. But when you find a job
and leave school, few people will tell you how to solve the problem you encounter in the job.
What you can do is to read books and find the answers yourself. If you do not have the ability to
teach yourself, it is difficult to survive in the world.
In addition, what we have learned in the school is probably not enough. Nowadays new science
and technology develop very rapidly. Suppose you are majored in computer. As we all know, the
computer science is changing fast. New idea and concept may appear everyday. Once you stop
studying, you may probably leave behind and even lose your job.
Last but not least, keeping studying can lead you to a high salary job. If you understand the most
advanced knowledge, lots of companies may hire you, because the more science one can master,
the higher productivity he will have. Do you have a dream to have a good job? If you do, learn
how to teach yourself right now.
So from what has been discussed, one can reach only this conclusion that teaching himself or
herself is a very important skill a person should learn in order to be successful in the world today.
Topic 5: We all work in our jobs with many different kinds of people. In your opinion, what
are some important charactertistic of a co-worker ?
We spend most of our daily life with the people we work. I have met and worked with different
kind of people. And the general impression of what I have faced is that the best workers are very
adaptable, cooperative and very motivated to work.
A good worker is cooperative. He always helps the others with what he can. The weal of the team
is beyond the individual wishes. Basically everyone is satisfied working such kind of people. The
result of being cooperative is the job done. Essential ability to work in team is to be
communicative and always be in touch with the others. While working as smooth as possible
people tend to be more happy and pleased.
A good worker is adaptable. For example he always agrees to change his plans in order to get the
job done. The good worker assembles his skills and knowledge as to as to perform at the very
best. When changing the atmosphere, a quality employee manages to use various tactics and
strategy. His progression is a product of his will to be flexible.
A good worker is motivated at any time and at any circumstance. He never allows bad things to
fulfill his work and his goal to work harder. An employee of that kind always pushes himself to
the limit in order to complete the job. You will never see him being lazy or demotivated. For
example people around him will say he is the top worker at his position.

To summarize, to be the very best in your area requires more work than talent. In my opinion
being accepted as the greatest is a complex activity which requires different qualities gained and
developed over time.
Topic 6: In the future, we will have more and more leisure(rnh ri) time as machines
replacemany of the tasks we do at home and at work. Discuss the benefits this will bring
and alse the problems it will cause ?
Nowadays, with the developments of industry and technology, machines appear and replace many
tasks for human in all fields, both at home and at work. The reduction in daily activities helps
people have more and more leisure time. This essay looks at the benefits people have, besides,
points out some potential harmful effects they make with the machines help.
To begin with, people have a lot of time to enjoy life and improve themselves. In fact, in
supermarkets or factories, there are many machines which help people in house work such as
washing machine or microwave oven and support them in job like computer or printer. Therefore,
people can spend more in variety of relaxation than when they live without the helping of these
machines, for example listening to music, going out for coffee, shopping, or travelling. Moreover,
leisure time is an opportunity for everyone to improve their education, social skills, and even their
health. Time for house work will be replaced by time for researching, learning higher degree,
making friends, social programs, and sport as well as exercise. This helps not only to perfect
peoples knowledge, but it also brings benefits for them, both physically and mentally.
On the other side, machines helping leads to laziness and creative reduction. While many people
use their free time for positive purposes, others are lazy and dont want to do more. They are
dependent on machines anytime, anywhere and it seems that they cant do anything without
machines. Furthermore, creativity will be reduced when almost daily activities are done by
machines. According to scientists, creativity originates in labour and machine is the main reason
why people lost their new and innovative thinking. Moreover, machine environment can cause
potential harm for human in health. Particularly, many workers in plastic and silk factory can
make lung diseases easily, or some big computer machines when work usually born negative
wave and affect to peoples health.
In conclusion, machines as well as modern technologies have both advantages and disadvantages
to human lives. Each person should aware both sides of it to increase the quality of their lives.
Personally speaking, the scientists should research more to protect human from its harmful
impacts and develop its benefits.
Topic 7: In general, people are living longer now. Discuss the causes of this phenomenon ?
(Hin tng)
According many researchers show that people are living longer now in general. There are many
reasons to explain this phenomenon. In my opinion, people are greater access to health care.
Technology is becoming to develop. And they pay themselves more attention to this problem.
Health care is available to more people now. In the past few years, there were a few hospitals.
Cost was higher than nowadays. So, peoples health was not guaranteed. But this thing is different
now, you can easy to go to the public hospital, or doctors live near your house. Doctors and
nurses have been taught carefully. The numbers of them are available. Other facilities are
abundant to use. All of them make people increase as improve their healthy.
People also live longer because of developing of technology. Many serious diseases couldnt cure
in the past, such as, cancer of bone (xng), thyroid (tuyn gip), breast( v), skin and lung
(phi), or leukemia (bnh bch cu) By applying of technology, some of them can cure(iu
tr) and this can maintain peoples lives longer. A lot of machineries support for serious ill people

to avoid the dead. And there are a range of vaccines to fight an infection (ly nhim) of virus. It
brings more subsistence opportunities for people. That makes people can live longer.
Topic 8: Pollution is really doing harm on peoples lives. What are the causes and effects of
pollution
?
Nowadays, people use different methods of mass media to express their concern about which
sources cause the pollution, and which consequences will be lead from it. This essay will try
learning these causes and effects of the pollution.
There are different sources, which badly affect our environment. Different kinds of car, trucks on
street day by day not only cause the noise in cities, but also damage clean air. Industrial plants,
factories throw into the air huge amount of waste. Green forests in the past are being cut down for
producing wood production or for new areas of land. Dirty water from living buildings, from
industrial zones is soured directly into rivers. We now face different kinds of pollution: air, water,
noise and lack of green areas.
From reasons mentioned above, our environment is changing. The air become less clean than ever
before, many people now wearing mask when going on streets. Temperature becomes higher,
cities' air becomes hotter, and water in oceans becomes warmer. Many old green forests are like a
bald hill when looking from airplane.
The effects can not be good for the environment itself, as well as for the people. Floods are so
dangerous, but they are now very popular everywhere in the world and are mentioned daily on
TV. At the same time, some green areas return into death deserts. Just only these things are
capable to damage our world.
There are many efforts are begin held for environment protection. But there is one more
important thing must be cared about: we must stop harmful to our environment actions, before
taking any effort to protect it.
Topic 9: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present
Human Society is a long period of building and developing. From the time man lived in dank
caves to nowadays when he lives in such a modern life with a lot of excellent facilities. The
modern life, the excellent facilities was not a present from god. It was made by people of all
generations who always learned from the past and developed everything they had learned from it.
Thus, I totally disagree with the statement above that learning about the past has no value.
The first reason for this is that learning about the past brings us all the knowledge and
information in the past. Without yesterday, there is no today. A society can develop only when its
people inherit and understand the achievements of the precursors because the precursors'
achievements were the foundation for everything to develop.. For example, smartphones
technology is the development of traditional cellphone. Consequently our knowledge, success
today is the result of constant work of our ancestors before.
Secondly, learning about the past is very essential because it makes us doubt and take
consideration into earlier assumptions. For that reason, people will find out mistakes that were
made in the past. This will show us which roads not to ever go down again and put human in a
right way to develop. Learning about the past is not only learning about the history but also is
learning from our and the others' mistakes. By this way of learning, people will become more and
more experienced and never make the same mistakes again.
Additionally, without knowing the past, we don't know anyone who isn't interested in where they
came from, so there is an inherent value in history right there.

In a nutshell, the past is always a good teacher and we are still bad students who crave for
knowledge. Denying the past also means that we are destroying the present and our future
because no one can jump without ground to stand on.
Topic 10: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement ?
Theres nothing the young can teach older people
I have to totally disagree with the statement that there is nothing that young people can teach
older people. For several reasons, which I will mention bellow, I think that young people can
teach older people many things.
First of all, young people intend to learn new things faster. They faster learn new technologies.
Second of all, young people are more motivated (ng c). They aspire (thit tha) to succeed and
make a good career, which requires good knowledge and experience. So, they try to get more
knowledge and experience from different sources like Internet, books, newspaper, magazines and
of cause from conversations with other people. In addition to this young people bring many fresh
ideas to the team they are working in. For example, when my friend was hired as a software
developer he surprised everybody with his energy, a bunch of new and fresh ideas about what
could be done to improve the process. He was the youngest person in the team but everybody
listened to him and it was like a fresh air, an impulse, which made everyone work harder.
Finally, young people often know more about new technologies. For example, my husband is 26
years old and he is a good professional in software development. So, he is often asked to read a
lecture for different companies and audience. Needless to say, the majority of people who attend
those lectures are older than my husband.
To sum up, I think that young people have many things to teach older people. Moreover, I think
that people from every generation have something to learn from each other. People learn trough
their entire lives from books that hold the experience and the history of previous generations as
well as from their own experience and experience of the younger people.
