Answer)
1 Opinion:
Completely agree/disagree Partly agree/disagree
+ Topic
It is true that…
Trang 9 It is argued that…
Many people argue/consider/believe/content/claim/agree/accept that…
People have different views whether or not…
+ Basic Answer:
Completely agree:
Personally, I completely agree with the view
that…
Completely disagree:

believe that this is a very narrow
perspective, and I completely disagree with
the statement

because…

rarely the case

argue/believe/claim that…
While some argue that…, I only partly agree
with this view, because…

consider that…
To a certain extent, I agree that… However, I
also believe that…
Ex:
Partly agree:
- It is true that school children are at an impressionable age, and two strong influences on their intelligence and social development are teachers and parents While I accept that teachers may have more influence on the intelligence of their pupils, I would argue that parents probably exert a greater influence on the social
development of their children
- It is true that an increasing number of people have serious weight problems While some argue that raising the price of fattening foods might help to solve the problem, I only partly agree with this view

Completely agree:
- At present, scientific research across the world is carried out and controlled sometimes by governments,
sometimes by private companies While there are some arguments in favor of scientific research by corporations, I agree with the view that this should be funded and supervised by the state
Completely disagree:
Trang 10- It is true that in countries which are suffering from high rates of unemployment, it seems hardly worthwhile
to offer education beyond primary level to most pupils While I accept that this appears logical, I believe that this is a very narrow perspective, and I completely disagree with the statement
- While there is so much human suffering, the spending of resources to protect wild animals presents an ethical dilemma However, I disagree with the opinion given, because it is possible to allocate resources intelligently
to benefit both the animal and the human population
- Many people consider that the function of a building should be the primary consideration at the design stage The appearance of the building from the outside is a relatively unimportant factor While a building must serve its intended purpose, I disagree that this is necessarily the most important factor in the design
- It is true that stricter punishments will deter many motorists from driving dangerously or carelessly on the roads However, I strongly disagree that this is the only way to improve road safety, because there are
alternative measures which would also be effective
- It is true that nobody can escape the power of advertising these days, whether this is commercial or online advertising, or even telemarketing While some argue that it is a positive part of our lives, I believe that this
is rarely the case
- People have different views about whether or not governments should help senior citizens I completely disagree with the idea that elderly people should receive no support from the state

Successful sports professionals can earn a great deal more money than people in other important professions Some people think this is fully justified while others think it is unfair Discuss both these views
- It is true that succeeding in major sports teams offers greater financial stability than going into important jobs/careers like lawyers and bankers While some people think this is unfair, there are good reasons why
professional athletes deserve the money they make

- It is true that some minority languages may disappear in the near future Although it can be argued that governments could save money by allowing this to happen, I believe that these languages should be protected
and preserved

Trang 14Reasons and Effects
FAMILY
The tradition that the family gets together to eat meals is disappearing What are the reasons? What are the impacts?
1 Vocabulary:
It is true that the traditional family mealtime is becoming a thing of the past There are some reasons which can
be put forward to explain this changing pattern of behavior, and there are significant impacts on family life and
health
There are two obvious reasons why families no longer share mealtimes as they used to do in the past Firstly, children are often too impatient to eat at the table, and parents sometimes allow them to have their meal in front of the TV or sitting in front of the computer Secondly, the close-knit family is disappearing in the face of economic pressures In single-parent households, or in families with working mothers, it can be almost impossible to arrange regular times for meals when all the family is together
The consequences for family life and for children’s health are serious From the perspective of the family, meals taken together are an important feature of a stable family background This stability of family routine is an essential factor in shaping children’s personality during their formative years Family mealtimes are a time to share news, give guidance and to make plans together In terms of children’s health, family meals were an opportunity to provide all the family members with a healthier diet, based on wholesome home-made food Without this routine, children are sometimes left to have snacks, or to eat junk food at fast food chains Health consequences such as obesity and hyperactivity often result when youngsters fail to eat a balanced diet, such
as used to be provided at family mealtimes
In conclusion, some reasons can be identified for the decline in shared family meals and the impacts are
overwhelmingly negative
-
Nowadays, it seems that families tend to eat together less frequently This essay will put forward some
explanations for this trend and an analysis of the potential impacts
The fact that family members choose not to eat with each other can be attributable to two reasons Firstly, since people these days tend to have heavier workloads and more hectic schedules than in the past, sitting down to share a meal with their family members might not be a convenient choice Instead, these individuals usually eat out with their friends, colleagues or business partners near their workplace which can be more suitable for their timetable Secondly, the fast food culture of modern life can change people’s eating habits because fast food can be found everywhere and is usually an inexpensive food choice For instance, young people in Vietnam often grab a quick meal after a busy day at work or school, which leads them to skipping meals with their family when they go home
