our lives in recent times

BAND

7+

The Internet has brought significant

changes to our lives in recent years

The Internet has dramatically altered our

lives over the past few decades

But people still disagree about whether

the effect of the Internet has been good

or bad

• Yet = However: tuy nhiên

• There remains some disagreement as to: vẫn có một vài sự bất đồng ý kiến về việc gì

Yet, there remains some disagreement as

to whether the overall effect of this

technology has been positive or negative

First, most people would agree that the

Internet has improved the way we

communicate

• Revolutionise (v): cách mạng hóa cái gì (=thay đổi cái gì cho tốt hơn)

• It is an indisputable fact that ….: Một thực tế không thể phủ nhận được rằng…

First of all, it is an indisputable fact that

the Internet has revolutionised the way

we communicate

It is true that spending too much time

using the Internet is dangerous because it

can cause social problems However,

email and internet chat programs like

MSN Messenger have helped most of us

• Despite + danh từ/cụm danh từ: mặc dù

• The risk of + danh từ/cụm danh từ: nguy cơ bị cái gì

• Social isolation: sự cô lập XH (do dùng internet nhiều thay vì đi ra ngoài gặp gỡ mọi người)

• Computer terminals: các thiết bị máy tính

• Have benefited greatly from…:đã hưởng lợi ích rất lớn từ cái gì

Despite the risk of social isolation – a

problem occasionally seen in people who

spend too much time at their computer

terminal rather than relating to people in

the real world – most of us have benefited

greatly from email and internet chat

programs like MSN Messenger

But I feel that this free movement of

information has been a very positive

trend

• Nonetheless = However: tuy nhiên

• The movement of … = the flow of …: sự chuyển động/ sự lưu thông của…

Nonetheless, I would contend that this

free flow of information has generally

been a very positive development

First, most people would agree that the

Internet has improved the way we

communicate

• Revolutionise (v): cách mạng hóa cái gì (=thay đổi cái gì cho tốt hơn)

• It is an indisputable fact that ….: Một thực tế không thể phủ nhận được rằng…

First of all, it is an indisputable fact that

the Internet has revolutionised the way

we communicate

TOPIC 2 FAST FOOD

Fast food is now much more widely

available than it was 50 years ago

• The past 50 years: 50 năm qua  dùng hiện tại hoàn thành

• 50 years ago: cách đây 50 năm  Dùng quá khứ đơn

• Have seen a dramatic increase in…: đã nhìn thấy sự gia tăng đáng kể trong …

The past 50 years have seen a dramatic

increase in the availability of fast food

Some people feel that this kind of food

plays a positive role in the world because

it is convenient and cheap

• Play a positive role: đóng 1 vai trò tích cực

• Have a positive role to play: có 1 vai trò tích cực

• Convenient (adj): tiện lợi

• Convenience (n): sự tiện lợi

• Cheap (adj): rẻ

• Low cost (n): chi phí thấp

Some people believe that this kind of

food has a positive role to play in the

world because of its convenience and low

cost

But I believe that this kind of food is bad

for the people who eat it and also for

society

• I would argue that: tôi muốn tranh luận rằng…

• Tobe detrimental to…: có hại cho…

• Eat = consume: ăn/tiêu thụ However, I would argue that this kind of

food is detrimental to both the individuals

that consume it and to society at large

As everybody knows, fast food is very

unhealthy

• It is an undeniable fact that: có 1 thực tế không thể phủ nhận được rằng…

• Unhealthy (adj): không lành mạnh

• To excess: quá mức

• Result in(v): gây ra

• Serious health problems: các vấn đề sức khỏe nghiêm trọng

It is an undeniable fact that eating fast

food to excess results in serious health

problems

Food like fried chicken, hamburgers and

chips contain large amounts of fat and

salt They cause illnesses like high blood

pressure, weight problems and heart

disease

• Contain large amounts of: chứa lượng …rất lớn

• Tobe incredibly high in…:có hàm lượng …rất cao

• illness = ailment(n): bệnh tật

• Weight problems:các vấn đề về cân nặng

• Obesity (n): béo phì

• High blood pressure: cao huyết áp Foods such as fried chicken, hamburgers

and chips which are incredibly high in fat

and salt are responsible for such ailments

as high blood pressure, obesity and hear

diseas

TOPIC 3 INTERNATIONAL TOURISM

International tourism has increased

considerably in the last 50 years

• Have seen a considerable increase in…: đã nhìn thấy

sự gia tăng đáng kể trong …

• International tourism = global tourism: du lịch quốc

tế

The past 50 years have seen a

considerable increase in global tourism

I now discuss two of the main problems

caused by international tourism

• The primary drawbacks: những hạn chế chính yếu

• associated with: gắn liền với Two of the primary drawbacks associated

with this trend are as follows

Because of only rich people have enough

money to travel overseas, poorer

countries like Thailand and Indonesia

have become the playgrounds of richer

ones

• Travel overseas/abroad: đi du lịch nước ngoài

• The playground: sân chơi

• Tourist (n): du khách

• More affluent: giàu có hơn

• Afford (v): có khả năng chi trả Since it is only the wealthy who can

afford to travel abroad, developing

countries like Thailand and Indonesia

have become the playgrounds of tourists

from more affluent ones

In many of these countries, this

increasing number of visitors (mostly

from western countries) has caused

problems like prostitution, alcoholism

and drug abuse

• The influx of…: làn sóng …

• Prostitution (n): mại dâm

• Alcoholism (n): nghiện rượu

• Drug abuse(n): việc lạm dụng thuốc (ma túy, các chất kích thích)

In many such nations, this influx of

mainly western tourists has brought with

it problems such as prostitution as well as

alcoholism and drug abuse

However, the damage that global tourism

has caused to the environment in many

places is even more worrying

• Even more disturbing, though, : thậm chí còn đáng lo ngại hơn nữa

• the environmental degradation: sự thoái hóa môi trường

Even more disturbing, though, is the

environmental degradation that

international tourism has caused in many

parts of the world

They are certainly not impossible to

overcome, but I believe that these

problems will probably continue for some

time

• Are by no mean insurmountable: không phải là không giải quyết được

• it is highly unlikely that: rất khó có khả năng…

• Resolve (v): giải quyết

• in the foreseeable future = in the near future Although they are by no mean

insurmountable, it is highly unlikely that

they will be resolved in the foreseeable

future

TOPIC 4 IMMIGRATION

First, if we want society to run smoothly,

immigrants must follow the rules of their

new country

• Follow the rule: tuân theo quy định

• Observe the laws: tuân thủ pháp luật

• Immigrant = newcomers: những người nhập cư/mới đến

• It is vitally important = it is very important

Firstly, it is vitally important that

newcomers observe the laws of their

adopted country

So immigrants should follow the rules in

their new country even if laws in their

home country are different

• Obey the law: tuân thủ pháp luật

• Regardless of: bất kể, không kể đến

It is, therefore, necessary for all

immigrants to ensure that they obey the

law in their new country regardless of

any differences to laws in their home

country

It is true that different cultures make a

country more interesting, but I believe

that too much difference makes it weak

by making people feel that they do not fit

in there

• Fit (v): phù hợp

• A mixture of….: sự kết hợp/hòa trộn…

• Vibrancy: sự sống động

• Cultural diversity: sự đa dạng văn hóa

• Undermine sth: làm suy yếu cái gì

• Alienate people from each other: làm người ta xa lánh nhau

Of course, having a mixture of different

cultures and traditions gives a country

colour and vibrancy; however, I would

contend that too much cultural diversity

undermines a society by alienating people

from each other

I believe that things we have in common

bring us together, but differences pull us

apart

• Unite (v): gắn kết

• Similarities (n): sự giống nhau

• Divide (v): chia rẽ

• Have in common: có điểm chung

• Pull s.th/sb apart: chia rẽ thứ gì/ai đó

• Bring s.th/sb together: mang cái gì/ai đó lại gần nhau

It is my belief that similarities unite

people, whereas differences have a

tendency to divide

I think this question will be even more

important in the future because the lines

between countries are slowly

disappearing

• Border (n): đường biên giới

• Blur (v): mờ đi

I believe that this issue is likely to

become even more important in the future

as borders between countries become

increasingly blurred

TOPIC 5 JOBS AND GENDER

There are many different opinions about

whether or not men and women are

equally good at all jobs

• Perspective (n): quan điểm, ý kiến

There are a variety of different

perspective on the question of whether or

not men and women are equally good at

all jobs

Some people with more traditional view

think that women should do some jobs

and men should do others, but I believe

that both men and women can do any job

well

• Hold to the conservative view that: giữ quan điểm bảo thủ rằng…

• Perform (v): thể hiện

• People of either sex: người bất kể giới tính nào

• Tobe capable of + V-ing: có khả năng làm gì While some still hold to the conservative

view that certain jobs are better

performed by men and others by women,

it is my personal belief that people of

either sex are capable of doing any job

effectively

First, we should not base our opinions on

traditional ideas about men and women

because these ideas are often wrong

• View (n): quan điểm

• It is a mistake to: thật sai lầm khi …

• Base A on B: đặt A dựa vào B

• Generalisations: những khái quát chung chung

• The characteristics of…: những đặc điểm của…

• Stereotype(n): khuôn mẫu

• Inaccurate (adj): không chính xác

First of all, I believe it is a mistake to

base our views on broad generalisations

about the characteristics of men and

women as such stereotypes are often

inaccurate

If a man wants to do a job which is

usually done by women or a woman

wants to do a man’s job, I think he or she

should be given a chance to show that he

or she can do it

• Persue a career: theo đuổi một sự nghiệp

• Be given a chance to… = be provided the opportunity to…: được cung cấp cơ hội để làm gì

• The opposite sex: người khác giới

• Vice versa: ngược lại

• Prove oneself capable: chứng minh mình làm được

If a woman desires to persue a career

which is traditionally reserved for the

opposite sex or vice versa, I believe that

he or she should be provided the

opportunity to prove him/herself capable

Instead of seeing these differences as

weaknesses, I believe we should see them

as chances to find new and better ways to

work

• See s.th as…=view s.th as…: xem xét/đánh giá cái gì như là…

• Chance = opportunity(n): cơ hội

• Innovation (n): sự sáng tạo, đột phá

• The discovery of (n): sự khám phá ra cái gì Rather than judging these differences to

be weaknesses, I feel that we should view

them as opportunities for innovation and

the discovery of more effective and

efficient work practices

TOPIC 6 CIGARETTE SMOKING

One thing that I think is very important is

that tobacco is a drug

• Absolutely pivotal: cực kỳ then chốt

One point which I believe to be

absolutely pivotal is the fact that tobacco

is a drug

This is especially true because doctors

could use some illegal drugs, like heroin

and marijuana, to treat sick people if they

were not banned

• Marijuana (n): cần sa

• Treat (v): chữa trị

• have legitimate medical applications: có các ứng dụng y tế hợp pháp

• illicit drugs : thuốc bất hợp pháp This is particularly so given the fact that

some currently illicit drugs – including

heroin and marijuana – have legitimate

medical applications while tobacco has

none

But may be the best reason to ban

smoking is that it is bad for our health

• cigarettes and other tobacco products: thuốc lá và các sản phẩm thuốc lá

• the strongest argument in favour of: Luận cứ mạnh

mẽ nhất cho việc gì

• public health: sức khỏe cộng đồng

However, perhaps the strongest argument

in favour of banning cigarettes and other

tobacco products is that of public health

It is a proven fact that smoking causes

lung cancer and other serious illnesses

• It is an irrefutable fact that: một sự thật không thể phủ nhận được rằng…

• Potentially fatal diseases: các bệnh có nguy cơ chết người

It is an irrefutable fact that smoking leads

to lung cancer and other such potentially

fatal diseases

So I think that there are a number of very

good reasons to ban smoking

• Ban = prohibit (v): cấm

• Be entirely justified: hoàn toàn hợp lý Hence, I feel that laws prohibiting

smoking would be entirely justified

Of course, the fact that smoking probably

will not be banned for many years to

come

• In reality: trong thực tế

• The widespread prohibition of…: lệnh cấm …rộng rãi

In reality, of course, the widespread

prohibition of smoking is unlikely in the

near future
