More and more people want to buy clothes, cars and other products from well-known brands What are the reasons? Do you think it is a positive or negative development?(Đề thi ngày 02/02/2019)

Bài mẫu

Nowadays, purchasing items such as cars or clothes from famous brands is becoming increasingly popular among a large number of people The reasons behind this trend will be outlined in the following essay and, in my opinion,

it could bring both positive and negative consequences in equal measure

To begin with, the tendency of using large brand products mostly stems from people’s beliefs on

personal possessions reflecting wealth, social status, and appearance (1) More specifically,

many people associate clothes and accessories from popular brand names such as Nike or Adidas with high quality and fashionable designs

Therefore, these items are more suitable for

enhancing people’s appearance than the

products from smaller brands In addition, some types of goods like cars from luxurious brands are usually sold at exorbitant prices because

of their expensive materials or unique features(2.)

Hence, these items are often considered as a tool for the rich to show off their social status or their wealth

On the other hand, more people purchasing goods from famous brands can bring both merits and drawbacks to the business world Countries where famous brands are based are more likely

to have a strong and healthy economy For

Personal possessions reflect wealth, social status, and appearance: tài sản cá nhân phản ánh sự giàu sang, địa vị xã hội, và bề ngoài

To enhance people’s appearance: làm đẹp vẻ

bề ngoài

Luxurious brands: nhãn

hàng xa xỉ

To be sold at exorbitant prices: được bán với giá rất cao

To show off their social status or their wealth:

khoe địa vị xã hội hay sự giàu có

instance, the US - the home country of many large brands, such as Apple and Microsoft, has been the strongest economic superpower since

the late 20th century partly since the products of these enterprises are favored not only in domestic but also in foreign markets(3). However,

the rise of dominant brand names can be a

factor leading to monopoly as large companies will attempt to dominate and finally wipe out smaller rivals to maintain their positions

In conclusion, the tendency of consuming goods from famous brands largely comes from people’s perception of personal belongings showing their wealth, social status and appearance This trend can bring both positive and harmful effects to the business market and, therefore, should be well-considered by the government to prevent largescale monopoly.

To prevent large-scale monopoly: ngăn cản thế

Topic 2: Work

The world of work is rapidly changing and employees cannot depend on having the samejob or the same working conditions for life Why is it the case? Can you suggest some ways to prepare people to work in the future? (Đề thi ngày 02/03/2019)

Bài mẫu

These days, people’s workplaces are constantly

changing and evolving to meet the demands

of modern society Furthermore, the roles and

responsibilities of jobs are also undergoing changes to adapt to new ways of working and

living This essay will discuss the possible reasons for these changes, and suggest some ways that people can better prepare themselves for their future careers

Firstly, due to the developments in hi-tech machines and artificial intelligence, millions of

people all around the world are losing their jobs and being replaced by automated processes

For example, millions of factory workers have lost their jobs because they have been replaced by machines that are able to do their job quicker and more effectively(1). Furthermore, as a result of the ever-increasing desire to cut expenses and increase profits, many jobs are being outsourced to countries where the wages are

lower For instance, when a person calls a tech support help line in an English speaking country, they will most likely be connected to someone in another country, like India or Philippines, where the wages are lower(2)

However, there are a number of ways that people can prepare for changes in their workplaces in the

To change and evolve

to meet the demands of modern society: thay

đổi và phát triển để đáp ứng yêu cầu của xã hội hiện đại

To adapt to something:

thích nghi với cái gì đó

The developments in hi-tech machines and artificial intelligence:

những sự phát triển của máy móc công nghệ cao

và trí thông minh nhân tạo

Be replaced by automated processes:

The ever-increasing desire to cut expenses and increase profits:

nhu cầu tăng lên về việc cắt giảm chi tiêu và tối đa lợi nhuận

Outsourced: thực hiện

bởi một bên khác

future Firstly, students preparing to leave high school need to be advised about the sustainability of the career path they are choosing To illustrate, autonomous vehicles are

predicted to replace most delivery and taxi driver jobs in the very near future, so this is not a job that someone should expect to have for a very long time Furthermore, while some jobs are being replaced by technology, many jobs are simply

incorporating technology into their process,

and therefore people will need to be able to keep

up to date with these changes(3) To help achieve this, specific courses could be designed to help educate people on the use of modern technology

in their workplaces

In conclusion, although there are many changes

in the workplace these days, educating people to carefully choose their career and to keep up to date with modern technology, is the key to avoiding any major problems

To keep up to date with something: cập nhật với

Topic 3: Children & Computer

Games

These days, a great number of children prefer spending time on computer games rather than on sports Why is it? Is it a positive or negative development? (Đề thi ngày 04/05/2019)

Bài mẫu

Nowadays, many children spend the majority of their time playing computer games and hardly engage in any sport or exercise Overall, I believe this is definitely a negative trend and will discuss the reasons in the following essay

To begin with, most computer games these days are highly interactive and allow players to immerse in a complex storyline and control

characters at their own will For instance, Mortal Kombat 11 allows players to easily change the outcomes of the story based on the character chosen, which can trigger the imagination and curiosity of children, and encourage them to

spend the whole day playing to discover all the story endings(1) The second reason for the popularity of computer games over sports is the sedentary lifestyle favoured by a large number of children, especially those living in big cities

Compared to sports, computer games are less

physically demanding, and therefore draw

much more attention from these lazy, inactive children

From my perspective, computer games can have many detrimental effects on children Firstly, spending too much time on computer games without doing any physical exercise will reduce

children’s calorie expenditure as they only sit at

home and play games This can make children

Immerse in a complex storyline: hòa mình vào

một cốt truyện phức tạp

imagination and curiosity: khơi dậy trí

more prone to many health problems, such as obesity or cardiovascular diseases when they grow older Secondly, playing games excessively also causes children to lose their communication

skills As a result, it can be very difficult for addicted children to develop the ability to

game-establish connections with others in real life

which are normally developed through participation in team sports, like football or basketball(2)

In conclusion, playing computer games is becoming more popular than sports due to the interesting and interactive content, together with the low demand for physical strength I personally believe that this trend does more harm than good and should be prevented to ensure the proper development of children

Establish connections with others: thiết lập quan hệ với người khác

Cấu trúc câu

Câu (1): For instance, Mortal Kombat 11 allows players to easily change

the outcomes of the story based on the character chosen, which can trigger the imagination and curiosity of children, and encourage them to spend the whole day playing to discover all the story endings

 Cấu trúc cần lưu ý:

Cấu trúc “Mệnh đề chính, which + V”, trong đó đại từ quan hệ “which” thay thế cho mệnh đề chính, là cấu trúc câu phức với mệnh đề phụ đưa ra tác động của mệnh đề chính

Từ nối “for instance” = “for example” được sử dụng để đưa ra ví dụ

Cấu trúc “to encourage somebody to do something” mang nghĩa khuyến khích ai làm gì

Câu (2): As a result, it can be very difficult for game-addicted children to

develop the ability to establish connections with others in real life which are normally developed through participation in team sports, like football or basketball

Topic 4 : Tourism

Many developing countries are currently expanding their tourism industries Why is this the case? Is it a positive development? (Đề thi ngày 01/06/2019)

Bài mẫu

These days, many poorer countries are focusing their efforts on developing and promoting their tourism industries There are some reasons for this, and I believe this can be a positive development, despite numerous drawbacks that can arise

Personally, I believe that the primary reason for

developing tourism in a country is due to the economic benefits that it brings A well- developed tourism industry creates a lot of

new businesses and jobs for local people, and an influx of money from foreign tourists In addition

to this, promoting international tourism can help

to improve international relations with other countries, and to share a country’s customs and culture with people all around the world

Many people these days are interested in learning about different cultures and ways of living, and tourism helps to facilitate this experience.

However, there are a number of drawbacks that arise from the expansion of a country’s tourism industry For example, in many countries in South East Asia, tourism has been a major cause of environmental pollution and destruction(1) For example, most tourists generally drink bottled water when on holiday, and this creates

mountains of plastic waste every year Many

A well-developed tourism industry: một

ngành công nghiệp du lịch được phát triển tốt

An influx of money:

dòng tiền

international relations with other countries:

tăng cường mối quan hệ với các nước khác

To share a country’s customs and culture:

chia sẻ những phong tục tập quán và văn hóa của quốc gia

To help to facilitate this experience: giúp tạo điều

kiện mang đến trải nghiệm này

A major cause of environmental

destruction: một nguyên nhân chính gây ô nhiễm và phá hủy môi

trường Mountains of plastic waste: những núi rác thải

nhựa

developing countries do not have appropriate recycling facilities and do not know how to deal

with the waste, and therefore, it commonly ends

up littered throughout the countryside, rivers, seas, beaches and oceans Furthermore, the invasion of tourists into certain places can disrupt the local wildlife and ecosystems,

causing further environmental damage(2)

In conclusion, I would have to say that expanding the tourism industry in a country is a positive development if it is properly managed, and the environmental and cultural impacts are closely

monitored and minimised

Appropriate recycling facilities: những cơ sở tái

chế rác chuyên nghiệp, đúng cách

The invasion of tourists:

sự tràn ngập khách du lịch

To disrupt the local wildlife and eco- systems: phá vỡ cuộc

sống hoang dã và hệ sinh thái

Cấu trúc câu

Câu (1): For example, most tourists generally drink bottled water when

on holiday, and this creates mountains of plastic waste every year

Câu (2): Furthermore, the invasion of tourists into certain places can

disrupt the local wildlife and ecosystems, causing further environmental damage

Topic 5: TV channels

Today, TV channels show more men’s sports than women’s sports Why

is this the case? Should TV channels give equal time for women’s sport and men’s sport? (Đề thi ngày 04/01/2020)

Bài mẫu

These days, there is a significant difference between men and women’s sports coverage on television channels I believe that women’s sports should get just as much coverage as men’s, and will outline my reasons in the following essay(1)

To begin with, there are many reasons for the dominance of men over women’s sports programs on TV Due to a large proportion of

male sports viewers, TV channels tend to produce sports programs for men to maximize their ratings and profits Take football as an example

When entering a coffee shop, it is easy to catch groups of men having discussions about a recent

men’s football match, while women show greater preference for shopping or lifestyle channels(2) Besides, because men usually perform better than women in sports such as boxing and bodybuilding, they play at a much higher level, which makes men’s sports more exciting to watch

On the other hand, I am of the opinion that it is necessary for TV channels to provide equal coverage for both genders First, it creates gender equality in society and increases the

rate of women’s sports participation In fact, every time women go out on the field, they give it their all knowing that their best will likely go unnoticed Therefore, just like men, female

The dominance of men over women’s sports programs on TV: sự

chiếm ưu thế của chương trình thể thao nam so với thể thao nữ

preference for sports:

thể hiện sự ưa chuộng thể thao hơn

Play at a much higher level in most sports: thi

Create gender equality

in society: tạo sự cân

bằng giới tính giữa nam

và nữ trong xã hội
