A CÁC ĐỀ THI CÓ ĐÁP ÁN GỢI Ý KÈM THEO 1.Some people believe famous people's support towards international aid organizations draws the attention to problems, while others think celebrities make the problems less important Discuss both views and give your opinions
SAMPLE ANSWER – BAND 8.0
To raise public perception on social issues such as poverty reduction, plagues, international
organizations often borrow celebrities’ power as a key tool However, there is a fact that global campaigns are likely to be neglected or even boycotted due to illegible public figures In my opinion, celebrity-driven international aid might significantly change community awareness, providing that both associations and artists get on with each other
The main reason that organizations repose trust in famous people is due to their far-reaching influence They are paid attention by not only international fandom but also mass media all over the world; stories on the plight of the poor or devastating consequences of plagues might therefore make the headlines Thanks to celebrity involvement, public will mutually help the needy, patients
by fund raising as well as other contributions For example, Lady Gaga and her supporters donated
a large amount of money for an anti-cancer movement in very short time which most ordinary people find impossible because they are not as influential as superstars
However, not every famous person is worth an iconic figure Some artists lead an unhealthy
lifestyle such as sexual scandals, fraud indictment and thus worsen community campaigns that they participate in Take, for instance, Lindsay Lohan, who is NOTORIOUS FOR uncontrolled behaviors What if organizations present her in movements for children rights? The very high possibility is that public has a bad impression on what organizations impart to them As a result, she is likely to be CRITICIZED SEVERELY and this activity might also be unable to attract further attention
In conclusion, the importance of public figures in international aid is undeniable However, to ensure that movements are on track, associations had better consider whether celebrities’ record is clear enough to perform the role of a representative

2.Some people think that when young people use more computers and mobile phones, their reading and writing skills are effected To what extent do you agree or disagree?
SAMPLE ANSWER BAND 8.0
Digital literacy platform has gained currency due to the prevalence of advanced technology such as computers, smart phones Some people, accordingly, contend that these handset devices may pose hidden threats to young people’s writing and reading skills if they are technologically-inclined I strongly concur with this view for the following reasons
Multimedia content is implied as the first cause why today teenagers are not as eager for writing and reading activities as they used to be Indeed, a wide range of programs in electronic format such as action computer games, animated applications make their eyes glue to the screen for many hours rather than immerse themselves in textbooks This is likely to enhance their visual
intelligence, however, their imagination and creativity might be affected Additionally, the large amount of online information is not being controlled, which means that young people may read sexually explicit contents and other illegal materials whether they are unintentional or not
Apart from these, there is a growing cognition that regular phone texting may influence young learners’ academic writing performance When sending messages, instead of choosing formal style, many high schoolers tend to use unconstrained languages such as slangs, abbreviations, jargons to convey what they are thinking to receivers Take, for example, “btw”, which stands for “by the way” Another example is “brb” which is the contraction of “be right back” Some admit that they often COPYCAT THESE ABBREVIATIONS in their essays without realizing that their grammar and vocabularies are ruined due to such minor mistakes
In conclusion, the more addicted to mobile phones teenagers are , the more ERODED THEIR
LITERACY SKILLS will be Therefore, each young leaner needs to practice these two skills habitually and parents themselves should keep an eye on their children’s screen time

3.Some people believe that only students with best academic should be reward, some other people think it is more important to reward students with improvement Discuss & Give your opinion
SAMPLE ANSWER – BAND 8.0
Trang 5
Offering rewards to good scorers is one of incentive programs which schools often launch after exam to motivate students However, there is a suggestion that moderate achievers are worth being encouraged for their own endeavor, instead of straight A student From my point of view, young learners, in any circumstance, should be deserved well as long as they are improving little by little
The first reason is that this may cause mental breakdown to lower achievers, if their efforts are unappreciated For example, a student is likely to suffer from negative mood such as feeling inferior
or envious when he realizes that no matter how hard he tries, he is just like a runner-up in
tournament Therefore, it is necessary to pay compliments as well as monetary rewards to students even though their achievements are junior Not only will this inspire learners to be more creative in their study but also it creates equity in schools where each personal value needs acknowledging
On the other hand, without incentive grants for high-scorers, they would lack motivation to step further as a foreseen outcome In the long run, this may lead to BRAIN DRAIN referring to the emigration of intellectuals to other nations for better study environment Apart from these, praising high-scorers is a positive way to set a signing example for weaker students, which nurtures healthy competition in today schools
In conclusion, I am of stronger belief that any personal improvement, if modest, should be
appreciated More importantly, giving rewards needs to be due and well-prepared in order that each receiver realizes they should move forward rather than satisfy with their academic
performance

4.Young people who commit serious crimes, such as a rubbery or a violent attack should be punished in the same way as adults To what extent do you agree or disagree?
SAMPLE ANSWER – BAND 8.0
Nowadays, there is an increasing concern that there are many young people who commit crimes However, some people argue that these criminals should receive the same kind of punishment as adults I agree with the view that if they have done it more than once, there is little reason to protect them from harsh punishment
Firstly, it is obvious that some underage criminals do not have a clear understanding of the consequences of behavior when they make the mistake for the first time The main point of punishment to this group is to educate them the importance of obeying the law, rather than punishing them for being ignorant of the law Therefore, giving them a softer punishment could
be enough to prevent them from doing further harm to the society
Trang 6Moreover, the shortcoming in education is the root cause contributing to the growing juvenile delinquency Chances are that if children receive appropriate education in schools and families, they will get into trouble in the future So the favorable education must be available before children having habit of unacceptable behavior
That is not to say that if these underage criminals never learn the lesson and keep crossing the bottom line of the legal system, a severer treatment is still unnecessary in this case The law could not forgive a law breaker again and again, which can trigger people’s doubt on legal justice So no matter how young they are, breaking the law seriously for the second time
deserves the equivalent punishment as adults
In sum, I believe that those young people who have only committed a serious crime once deserve a less harsh and punishment and more rigorous education whereas those who keep ignoring the consequences of their wrong behavior should be treated the same as adults Only
in this way can the social justice be respected to a large extent
5.Some businesses prohibit smoking in any of their offices Some governments have banned smoking in all public places Do you agree or disagree that this is the right course of action? Give reasons for your opinion
SAMPLE ANSWER – BAND 7.0+
Most of the firms, organization and companies as well as governments impose restrictions to smoke in work places and public amenities It has become fashionable in the world today to blame smoking However, although I feel that smoking can be harmful, but I don’t think it should be forbidden completely I would also argue that people should have the right whether
or not they should smoke
Firstly, smoking certainly helps many people to relax For some, it even improves concentration
If someone is upset owing to debt or they have exam, like to smoke to reduce the pressure or tension Most of the people like to smoke when they are relaxing with friends Secondly,
governments throughout the world make huge profits from taxes on cigarettes The income obtained through taxes provides funds which are used for building school, hospital and public places such as parks, gardens, sports ground and foot paths Thirdly, tobacco industry also employs tens of thousands of people all over the world, particularly in poorer countries such as Zimbabwe or India Without cigarettes, these people would have no jobs
Despite these positive effects there are lots of negative effects to smoking too Initially,
smoking has been proven to be very dangerous for health As one cigarette contains more than
4000 chemical substances, therefore, it causes for many dangerous diseases such as heart attacks, asthma, bronchitis or lung cancer According to a recent report in Britain close to 3,500
Trang 7people are killed each year in road accidents and 120,000 are killed by smoking Furthermore, smoking costs governments millions of dollars because of the large number of people who need treatment in hospitals for smoking-related problems Moreover, passive smoking is also a major concern today Recent research shows that non-smokers can suffer from health problems if they spend long periods of time among people who do smoke In the UK children whose
parents are smoke are three times as likely to start smoking themselves
In short, I think the world would be a better place without cigarettes However, the decision of whether _ smoke or not to smoke should be for each individual to make I suggest that people should not smoke in a room or a place where there are non smokers, however they should be free to smoke elsewhere
6.Governments should focus spending only on public services, not waste on the arts To what extent do you agree or disagree?
SAMPLE ANSWER – BAND 8.5
The role of arts in modern life is unique, providing people with entertainment and yielding various psychological rewards, such as relief from stress Despite these benefits, the arts have been taken
as luxury goods in many cases It is suggested that public money of a city should be concentrated in projects like public facilities, which are more likely to bring immediate benefits to the public, rather than the arts There are a number of facts indicating that this position is right
Public facilities, widely accepted as one of the main precursors to a city's development, should be one of the highest priorities Those underdeveloped cities in particular, should direct sufficient funding toward public facilities While municipal office buildings, courthouses and post offices are essential components of public services, libraries, hospitals, parks, playing fields, gymnasiums and swimming pools are available to the public for social, educational, athletic and cultural activities By boosting spending on public facilities, cities are more capable to satisfy the needs of citizens and improve their standard of living
In addition to social benefits, there are economic merits that public facilities can offer to
communities An integrated transport network (maritime, land and inland waterways transport and civil aviation), for example, promises the smooth and speedy movement of goods and people in a city Industrial products, as well as agricultural produce of a city, can be delivered to other cities in exchange for steady income Of equal importance are public Internet facilities Providing access to information by improving Internet and other telecommunications facilities has relevance to the ease with which businesses in a city receive, process, utilize, and send information It is no
exaggeration to say that entrepreneurs, either from home or abroad, will first examine the
infrastructure of a city before deciding whether to pursue business opportunities there
Trang 8The arts, by comparison, although enabling people to see the world and the human condition differently and to see a truth one might ignore before, do not merit government spending The first reason is that the arts — referring to music, film and literature altogether—are more likely to attract the investment of the private sector than public facilities Businesspeople continue to invest
in the arts in the expectation of earning lump sum income and the arts in return, continue to
flourish without the government spending Meanwhile, the arts are a key component of a culture and naturally passed down from one generation to another Unlike public facilities, they require no money to survive
It is therefore clear that construction of public facilities should be given the foremost consideration The concern about the well-being of individual citizens and that of a city is more acute than the apprehension about the survival and prospects of the arts, something that businesses have a stake
in
7.Differences between countries become less evident each year Nowadays, all over the world people share the same fashions, advertising, brands, eating habits and TV channels Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages of this?
SAMPLE ANSWER – BAND 7.5 +
It is undoubtedly the case that the world today has become a global village One of the effects of this is that increasingly people in all corners of the world are exposed to similar services and products and adopt similar habits My view is that this is largely a beneficial process and in this essay I will explain why
The first point to make is that there are some downsides to this process of cultural globalization, but these are relatively minor The most significant of these disadvantages is that it can weaken national culture and traditions For example, if people watch films and television programmes produced in the United States, sometimes they adopt aspects of the lifestyle of the American characters they see on television Typically, however, this only affects minor details such as clothing and does not seriously threaten national identity
When we turn to the other side of the argument, there are two major points to make in favour of this process The first of these is that the more we share habits, products and services, the better
we understand each other and this reduces prejudice against other nations The other point relates
Trang 9to modernity It is a sign of progress in a society that people no longer are restricted to brands and advertisements from their own society but are able to access more international goods If, for example, there were unable to drink Coca Cola or wear Nike, then that would mean their society was not part of the international community
In conclusion, I understand the point of view of people who worry about cultural globalization because it is a threat to national traditions However, this is outweighed by its positive impact on international understanding and the fact that it represents progress within a society
8.When a country develops its technology, the traditional skills and ways of life die out It is pointless to try and keep them alive To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
SAMPLE ANSWER – BAND 7.5 +
Nowadays, technological advances and their rapid and wide applications are having a significant impact on a nation’s traditional skills and ways of life Some argue that such impact is so
extraordinary that it would make conventional skills and life styles obsolete However, I believe they would continue to thrive by providing alternatives to modern ways of life, and innovative ideas for modern technologies
First of all, traditional skills and ways of life are becoming an alternative solution to the
problems caused by “mainstreamed” ways of life which are greatly influenced by modern
technologies For instance, a cozy restaurant where traditional, home-brewed beer is served, offers another experience to people who are bored with branded beers that have the same flavor and come out of mass production with new technologies It is in such a venue where traditional skills are preserved, people become relaxed and educated Providing diversity and thus enriching modern ways of life, such traditional skills and ways of life would continue to have their place Furthermore, conventional skills provide innovative ideas to the development of modern
technologies For example, sparkled by how the word “Love” is traditionally knitted into a sweater by some ethnic minority women in some parts of Asia, some business managers from textile industry have developed some production lines by applying the traditional skills to
Computer-Aided Designs (CAD) The products have boosted the companies’ sales which in turn have increased their investment in preserving traditional skills for further developing their
technologies
To conclude, traditional skills and life styles are increasingly becoming a useful alternative to the homogeneity brought by global applications of modern technologies However, the evolution of technologies is a selection process, whereby some would become obsolete, but there is no doubt that some would thrive when their roles are appreciated
Trang 109.Many people believe that university students should pay tuition fees in full themselves, because they gain education for their own benefit and not for society To what extent do you agree or disagree?
SAMPLE ANSWER – BAND 8.0
There is a common belief that it is students’ responsibility to take care of their own tuition fees since they study for themselves, not for the good of society In my opinion, this idea is completely absurd from every perspective
From one standpoint, I believe that undergraduates should not have to pay the full cost of education This would be too expensive, especially in the UK or the US, hence deterring many young people from pursuing tertiary education It is because many talented students are the victims of their families’ financial predicament, which prevents them from furthering their study Furthermore, the provision of exemptions and scholarships for high achievers would motivate competent individuals to work hard during their college time If there were no
encouragement in terms of finance, they would feel unappreciated and demotivated
In addition, I think society does gain benefits from university undergraduates; therefore, it is reasonable to offer financial aids to those students Apparently, they dictate the future of a country since they would become the main workforce after graduation Without them, the entire economy would be destabilized owing to the lack of skilled labor On top of that,
university graduates make tremendous contributions to the prosperity of their community by paying taxes when they work Because of this, society could not deny its obligation to party assist students with their education cost
In conclusion, I strongly oppose the idea that society gains nothing from college students and that they should settle their own study fees at university
10.Some people think it is easier for adults to learn practical skills (such as computer skills)
by themselves while others believe it is better to learn with a teacher in classroom Discuss both sides and give your own opinion
SAMPLE ANSWER – BAND 7.0 +
No one can argue that education is a valuable asset for an individual in this competitive
