nhiều thay đổi mua sắm thập kỷ qua"
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view After finishing your speech, answer the following
questions:
What are your shopping habits?
Do you think online shopping will replace small shops in the future? Why? In recent years, there has been a growing trend that people tend to buy
things on the Internet This present both pros and cos, however, in my
opinion, its benefits are much more significant than the drawbacks On the one hand, shopping online brings consumers some disadvatages Initially, since people are unable to touch or to see the products they want to buy in reality, it is always hard for them to examine the quality of these products As
a result, they might purchase the items with poor quality In addition to that,
as consumers not feel happy with the items they had bought online, they tend to abandon these products or don't use them at all This is definitely a watse of money Moreover, buyings thing on the Internet often makes people confused since there are a great number of shops on the Internet On the other hand, I am of opinion that shopping online brings people a number of benefits First, shopping online allows consumers to browse for products and checking prices between these online shops Second, buyings things on the Internet helps people save a great deal of time That is to say, since people nowadays are often so caught up with work and study, shopping online is a wise choice which doesn't require them to go the the stores In conclusion, although buyings things on the Internet exerts some adverse aspects, the advantages can justify these My shopping habits are shopping online I think online shopping will replace small shops in the future because it is really convenient

Trang 64/ “There are many problems with education in Vietnam” "Có nhiều vấn đề với giáo dục Việt Nam" Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view After finishing your speech, answer the following questions:
What are the differences between the traditional and modern educational system in Vietnam?
What should be done to reduce educational problems in Vietnam?
It is clear that Vietnamese students frequently achieve successful
results in academic life However, these students might not a supply for the potential workforce due to the educational issues This essay will discuss Vietnamese educational problems and the measures that governments and individuals can take to address these problems There are some typical
causes that lead to the fact that an increasing number of students focus on academic performance and are not just focus on developing social skills
Firstly, traditional families have an obsessional achievement in academic
journey Secondly, myriad Vietnamese schools focus solely on theory and ignore social activities which dominate in gaining career prospect If students want to improve soft skills, they must study by themselves or go to another class or club after school
To tackle this issue, adults should not judge children through by the results and pay attention on balancing both skills In addition, the school should run social clubs as well as combine social activities with the lectures Another issue worth noting is that the education programs has not kept pace with job demanding and has lacked of applicability The lectures focus dominantly on the theory and lack of or no practice Supposed that, Vietnamese students calculate very well but not know how to use it in reality Or numerous
graduated students must take a training course before working due to the difference of theory and practice Educational programmers should gain the applicability of the lectures and decrease those theories which are unrealistic
In conclusion, Educational errors have ruined numerous youngsters as well
as the development of our country Unless taking urgent action, Vietnamese people would be struggle with applying for job in work market, especially when the world has gradually become globalized the differences between the traditional and modern educational system in Vietnam are that In modern education system, the learners are able to learn in flexible timings, whereas
in traditional education there is a fixed timing.Traditional education is costly, the course books, tuition fees, the classroom setup, etc sum up to a huge amount of money compared to online education The modern education
system doesn’t require any classroom setup, course books, etc hence it is comparatively low cost
Second, The government needs to find out educational problems so that
causes can be solved step by step

questions:
Are people more or less interested in attending the festival? Why?
What should be done to promote a regional festival?
Since I was a child the town has almost doubled in size and population It
used to consist of just one main street, but now there are many new housing developments and apartments next to the water Houses are designed
beautifully and have well- decorated facades There are fences or trees
around the house In the back of the house there is a big garden In some of house garages can be seen B With all these new people moving in, it has changed the character of the town a little bit, people are not as friendly as before People’s lives in my hometown are getting better This is a good sign It means that children can be in better living condition People are less
interested in attending the festival Because they have other interests such
as sports, movies, video games and etc The authorities should something to raise people’s awareness of traditional values
Trang 86/ “There are many changes in traditional festivals” “Lễ hội truyền
thống có nhiều thay đổi”
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view After finishing your speech, answer the following
questions:
Are people more or less interested in attending the festival? Why?
What should be done to promote a regional festival?
When we talk of festivals the one thing all of us enjoy is the festivities and
celebrations linked to it Every festival has had a historical while some are linked to seasonal changes Because the advent of globalization and a
booming economy has had an impact on the way of our festivals
celebrations, today people can afford to enjoy the luxury of buying new clothes, gadgets etc throughout the year rather than wait for the festivals to make such purchases Festivals have today become a time to flaunt your riches Festivals celebrations have become more self centered and moving away from its tradition It is more of instant gratification now Today you
wouldn’t be surprised to find people working on festivals and concentrating
on their careers rather spend time with their families It is this change that is unwelcome because at some point in future we would even forget the reason behind all these festivals We would be celebrating all our traditional festivals similar to Valentine’s day, Father’s Day, Mother’s day, etc all commercially driven The good old ways of festivals celebrations were far better than the ugly show of wealth that our festivals celebrations are getting transformed into People are less interested in attending the festival Because they have other interests such as sports, movies, video games and etc The authorities should something to raise people’s awareness of traditional values
Trang 97/ “Reading books brings many benefits” “Đọc sách mang lại nhiều lợi
ích”
Present your view with clear arguments and specific, real-life examples to support your view After finishing your speech, answer the following
questions:
Are children more or less interested in reading? Why?
What should be done to encourage children to read?
Nowadays, media development has many positive influences in human’s life
People have lots of sources to get information and take entertainment such
as television, radio, Internet, etc but nobody can deny the importance as well
as the benefits of reading books First, reading books helps us widen our knowledge Nowadays, not only does reading books costs less money but it is also more comfortable than taking a trip We just lie on the couch and
comprehensive what is happening in the books Thanks to the wide range of books such as science, literature, astronomy, archeology, biology, physics, etc we can get information focus on our own fields as well as the others Secondly, reading books helps us improve our expression ability like writing and speaking The writing style of some our favorite writers will affect ours Especially, when we read foreign literature, we will not only know more about that country but also have chance to improve our reading skill, learn new words which can be used to better our essays
Last but not least, reading books helps us relax after a hard-working day It is also an interest for everybody who does not like to visit crowded places at the weekend They like quiet atmosphere and not want to disturb anybody so they consider books as their close friend They meet their stories, their lives
in books and they feel extremely sympathetic with the characters’ situations Reading books makes them happy and relieve stress In conclusion, reading books is so important and has many benefits It not only help us become more clever but also bring us happiness Therefore, everyone should be
encouraged to read books as much as possible I think children are less
interested in reading Because nowadays, most of them prefer playing video games, watching films or going online Parents or teachers should encourage them to read books by buying them interesting comics with colourful covers
