Some people think that newspapers are the best way to get news However, others believe that they can get news better through other media platforms

Discuss both views and give your opinion

Bài mẫu tham khảo

Opinions diverge widely on the importance of different news sources While some people consider reading newspapers to be the most effective way to receive news, I would argue that

it is no longer the best way to get the news due to the proliferation of online news sources

On the one hand, there are good grounds for arguing that newspapers still are the most

popular among newsreaders even though we are living in a digital world Firstly, since

newspapers have existed long before the introduction of the internet, most senior citizens have developed a habit of reading a newspaper every day, and they do not want to change this habit (1) Secondly, newspapers are considered a more reliable source of information compared to other sources nowadays This is because newspapers are usually

written by professional journalists, and are thoroughly checked, edited and censored

prior to their publication

On the other hand, the Internet has become an increasingly dominant news source these days due to the benefits it offers (2) The first thing that attracts people to reading news online

is its easy access With the widespread presence of the Internet, people with portable devices, such as a smartphone, can access a huge storage of news in just a few clicks Furthermore, online news channels have brought a greater reading experience to readers, thanks to the

constant advancement in technology, which has made it possible to upload videos and audio

recordings online For instance, soccer fans these days can re-watch their favourite

matches whenever they want with only a laptop connected to the Internet, which a mere newspaper cannot do (3)

In conclusion, although I do agree that printed newspapers are very popular amongst certain groups of people, I disagree that it is the best way to receive the news as more and more people are drawn to using the Internet

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?

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 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 large-scale monopoly

In most successful companies, some people think that communication between employers and workers is the most important factor Other people say that other factors are more important

Discuss both views and give your opinion

Some people think that effective communication between managers and subordinate employees is the most important feature of an organization’s success However, there are other contributing factors to an organization’s success that may be more important I will discuss both sides of this argument in this essay

Managers make decisions about the direction of an organization and employees

implement those decisions Consequently, it is important that, when a decision is made, this decision can be communicated effectively to the workers (1) If the workers

misinterpret a decision, the consequences could range from a minor discrepancy, to a

serious setback for the organization Effective communication and implementation of

decisions will result in the organization running as the managers want it to be run

There are many other factors that contribute to a company’s success, some of which could be considered more important than effective communication (2) For example, the

competency of managers themselves contributes significantly to success It does not matter

if a worker can effectively employ a policy if the policy, created by the manager, is useless or detrimental to the organization’s success (3) Another contributing factor to

success is the reliability and availability of good workers An organization could have the best managers in the world, but if there is not a skilled and reliable work force available to

them, progress will be slow and success difficult to come by I believe that both of these factors are more important than communication between managers and workers itself

Communication between managers and workers is an important factor in an organization’s success However, in order for communication to be effective, an organization needs competent managers and a reliable, skilled workforce

Some people claim that public museums and art galleries will be no longer necessary

because people can see historical objects and works of art by using a computer

Do you agree or disagree?

In current times, we can read about and view images of artistically, culturally and historically significant works from anywhere with an internet connection Some people believe that the advent of the internet has made the existence of art galleries and public museums obsolete I personally disagree, and my view will be explained in this essay

The internet has brought us the ability to search for information and images about most things we consider to be historically or culturally significant (1) This information can be

found by using search engines like Google; video streaming sites like YouTube; or regular

information websites such as Wikipedia Some people claim that to obtain information

about art, history or culture through one of these channels provides us with sufficient understanding of that particular topic (2) Therefore, we no longer need museums and

galleries However, I believe the information regarding an object is different from the

experience of being in the presence of the object itself This experience is unique and should

be preserved

Furthermore, the designs of museums and art galleries are usually based on a country’s

architectural style People can enjoy viewing art works and artifacts and learning about the history and art of the country they are visiting while admiring the grandeur of these places (3) Millions of people visit The Louvre Museum every year not just because it exhibits a huge collection of priceless national masterpieces but also because it is a prime example of the aesthetic appeal of French architecture (4)

Information about almost any work of art or historical object can be found on the internet today However, the experience of knowing about something and the experience of being in the presence of that thing are two different ideas I believe both of them are important and therefore museums and galleries are still needed
