Some teachers think that international student exchange would be beneficial for all teenage school students Do you think that its advantages would outweigh its disadvantages?

Essay Plan:

experience

friendships

Essay:

It is true that some teachers consider that all their teenage

students would benefit from an international student exchange

scheme While such a scheme might not be a valuable

experience for every student, I think that for the great majority

its advantages would outweigh its disadvantages

On the one hand, there are a few potential drawbacks if schools

organise an international exchange programme for all teenage

students Firstly, there are considerable costs involved, and not

every family may have the money to spare for travel or other

expenses which would be incurred For example, in the UK

single-parent families are quite common, and they usually have

potential [adjective]: that can develop into something or be

developed in the future

to spare [verb]: to make something such as money or time available

to somebody or for something, especially when it requires an effort to

do this

to manage on a limited budget Secondly, some teenagers are

relatively shy and immature and may not be ready for the

challenge of living with a family overseas Not every

adolescent develops at the same pace in terms of confidence and

independence

On the other hand, there are enormous advantages to be

gained, which outweigh the disadvantages For teenagers

studying languages, an international exchange offers the chance

to immerse themselves in the language of their host family

They will make much more rapid progress than is possible in

the classroom However, not only language students would

benefit Experiencing a different culture really broadens the

horizons of all young people, exposing them to a culture shock

that will encourage them to develop critical thinking skills and

habits Sometimes, these students may even form lifelong

friendships as a result of such exchanges

to incur [verb]: if you incur costs or expenses, this means that you

have to pay for them

single-parent families [noun]: families in which one person takes

care of their child or children without a husband, wife or partner

to manage [verb]: to succeed in doing something, especially

something difficult

immature [adjective]: not developed, behaving in a way that is

typical of people who are much younger

to immerse oneself [verb]: to become completely involved in

something

host family [noun]: a family which offers their home for an

international student to stay

to broaden one’s horizons [expression]: to increase your knowledge

and experience

expose [verb]: to let somebody discover something by giving them

experience of it

culture shock [noun]: a feeling of confusion or anxiety that

somebody may feel when they live or visit another country

critical thinking [noun]: the process of analysing information and

experiences in an objective way, in order to make a judgement about

Trang 3

In conclusion, I believe that the vast majority of teenage

students would benefit from participation in international

exchange programmes, despite some drawbacks in individual

cases

them

lifelong [adjective]: lasting or existing all through your life

Individuals can do nothing to improve the environment; only governments and large companies can make a difference To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Essay Plan:

many actions to improve the environment

less and produce goods sustainably

Essay:

It is true that governments and big business have a critical role to play

in improving the environment While some argue that individuals are

therefore powerless to help combat environmental degradation, I

completely disagree with this view

On the one hand, both governments and large enterprises can and

should take steps to prevent an ecological crisis From a government

perspective, policies must be enacted and enforced internationally

These must cover a wide range of issues, such as the protection of

endangered species, a halt to habitat destruction, and funding research

into alternative energy sources, to reduce our dependence on fossil

fuels In terms of corporate responsibility, producers should not

discharge toxic chemical waste into rivers or the sea and they must cut

environmental degradation: the process or fact of the

environment becoming worse

ecological crisis: a serious situation which occurs when the

environment of a species or a population changes in a way that

threatens or endangers its continued survival

to enact [verb]: to put something into practice

to enforce [verb]: to make sure that people obey a particular law

or rule

Trang 5

down on emissions from factories to fight climate change They

should also aim to achieve sustainable development by not depleting

natural resources, for example by deforestation

On the other hand, there are many actions that individuals can take to

endangered species: plants or animals that only exist in very

small numbers, so that in future they may disappear forever

habitat destruction: the process that occurs when a natural

habitat, like a forest or wetland, is changed so dramatically by humans that plants and animals which live there die

alternative energy sources: refers to any energy source that is an

alternative to fossil fuels

reduce our dependence on fossil fuels: to decrease people’s

consumption of fossil fuels, like oil, coal or gas

corporate responsibility [noun]: the idea that a large company

has a duty to treat people fairly and to play a positive part in society

to discharge toxic chemical waste: to dispose of poisonous waste

products from chemical processes by putting them into rivers or oceans

to cut down on emissions: to reduce the amount of gases sent out

into the air

to fight climate change: To try to prevent harmful changes in

climate patterns, such as rainfall, temperature and winds

to achieve sustainable development: economic development that

is achieved without depleting natural resources

to deplete natural resources: to reduce the amount of natural

resources

Trang 6

care for the environment These include changing patterns of

consumption For instance, products which are environmentally

friendly, such as green detergent brands, are widely available in the

shops, so that it is easy to change buying habits Buying local

products is another option, reducing food miles A different type of

action is to join one of the organisations in the green movement, like

Greepeace Individuals can help these groups to raise funds to protect

plants and animals on the brink of extinction and to strengthen

campaigns for government interventions and initiatives

In conclusion, while governments and corporations carry a great

responsibility for alleviating environmental problems, individuals have

a significant role to play I therefore totally disagree that individuals

are powerless to contribute towards saving the planet

Many museums and historical sites are mainly visited by tourists but not local people Why is this the case and what can be done to attract more local people to visit these places?

ANSWER:

It is true that tourists from many parts of the world pay more

visits to museums and historical places than local inhabitants

There are many reasons for this, but this situation should be

addressed by attractinglocals in some practical ways

There are two main reasons why museums and historical sites

are preferred more by tourists than by local residents One

reason is that museums are too familiar to the locals If

pay more visits(tham quan nhiều hơn):to pay a visit just

means to go to some place, to make a visit, to visit

historical places(di tích lịch sử):places that have historical

value due to some important events in the past

local inhabitants(dân địa phương):the people who live in the

town

practical ways(biện pháp thiết thực):a way of doing something

that has practice value, that is rational or logical

rather hard(tương đối khó khăn):quite difficult, used express

that something is indeed hard

Trang 8

museums do not change anything, there will be nothing new for

the locals to discover Like eating the same dish every single

day, they feel bored with visiting the same places Furthermore,

entrance tickets at some historical sites are expensive for the

local inhabitants to afford For example, in Dien Bien, a

province in northwestern Vietnam, it is rather hard for the

residents to make ends meet, let alone to spend money on

visiting some famous historical attractions there

The government should take some measures/steps to tackle this

issue effectively Firstly, museums ought to be invested in more

by the authorities to refresh the exhibits The fresher the

exhibitions are, the more local residents will be interested in

them Secondly, historical relics need to be free for all the local

people Without worrying about additional expenditures,

residents will pay more to visit historical sites in order to

broaden their knowledge about their home towns

In conclusion, there are some known reasons for this trend

However, something should be done by the authorities to attract

more visitors from the local areas

make ends meet(kiếm ăn kiếm sống):to make enough money to

pay all the bills

take some measures/steps(có các biện pháp):to do something

to address an issue, like to create a rule, a law or a regulation

refresh the exhibits(cập nhật các hiện vật):bring in new works

of art or other to show to the public

additional expenditures(các chi phí phụ thêm):expenses that

are in addition to other basic expenses

broaden their knowledge about(mở rộng hiểu biết):to learn

more about something

known reasons(lý do quen thuộc):reasons that people already

know about, that they are familiar with

Trang 9

more people to come to visit
