number of children.

children, or the atmosphere in the house can become a complete chaos.

one toilet is much worse.

The individual nuclear family is a universal social phenomenon Duncan Mitchell in his ‘Dictionary of sociology has defined nuclear family as ‘A small group composed of husband and wife and immature children which constitutes a unit apart from the rest of the community.”
In simple words a nuclear family is one which consists of the husband wife and their unmarried children Soon after marriage, the children leave their parental home and establish their separate household Hence a nuclear family is an autonomous unit free from the control of the elders Since there is physical distance between parents and their married children, there is minimum interdependence between them Thus a nuclear family
is mostly independent Modern family is a typical example of nuclear
family.

Advantages and disadvantages of living in a city and in the countryside
A lot of people decide to move to the countryside nowadays However, there are still many people who prefer stay in the town and say that they couldn't live anywhere else So which place is better to live? Let's think about both of them
I would like to start with the advantages and disadvantages of the big city life Living
in such a big city has a lot of advantages There is a big offer how to spend free time There are a lot of theatres, concerts and other ways of entertainment There is always a lot to do and visit! There are a lot of possibilities of shopping In various shopping centres
and galleries you can buy whatever you want What is more, there are a lot of working places in a city Many big international companies have their locations in the cities, so it
is much easier to find a job in a big city Moreover, the public transport is developed quite well, so the commuting to work isn't a problem On the other hand, there are some
disadvantages of living in a big city Cities are very crowded Everywhere there are crowds:
on the pavements and in the buses What is more, the traffic is heavy and city's car parks are always very full Sometimes it is very difficult to get from a given place to another
It may take hours! Moreover, the other disadvantage is the safety in a city, but actually the lack of safety There is a big crime rates in cities So you have to be very careful
at nights when you leave your home
I think that in the country the problem of crime isn't so big There aren't so many people and they usually know each other well The possibility of robbery or other crime is relativelylower Life in the countryside is more peaceful and the life is also slower What is more, it is less stressful There isn't any time pressure and the traffic conditions are better A lot
of places you may reach on foot
The city offers a lot: there are huge buildings, skyscrapers or some historic monuments
On the other hand, in the countryside there are a lot of breathtaking sceneries, space and other amazing places such as forests, lakes or mountains Moreover, people in the countryside are quite different than people living in the city: they are relaxed, friendly and family-oriented People in the city are like ants They are always in hurry, busy and out
of time In the country people enjoy lives and take pleasure in their daily activities As a disadvantage of living in the countryside we may consider the commuting problems Peoplewho stay in the countryside often have to work in the nearest cities, so it may take a lot
of time to get to it However, the living costs in the country are much lower, the variety
of products in shops is smaller
To sum up I would like to say that both countryside and city have some advantages
and disadvantages Both city and country may be a good place to live However I will stay
in the city till I retire Then I would like to move to the country to have a rest I think that everyone of us will take into consideration all aspects before he decides to move to the country
The advantages and disadvantages of living in the country
Living in the countryside has a lot of advantages, but also many disadvantages As the advantage we can consider the fact that the country is less polluted and the traffic isn't
so heavy You are fit and you don't need to worry about your health condition, because
in the countryside the air and water are so clean In the country there are many plant species There aren't any huge blocks of flats, modern skyscrapers or bothersome traffic jams In the country you are free to admire the breathtaking landscapes such as huge meadows, peaceful hills or forests You can enjoy walking in the forest and picking
mushrooms or hunting Another advantage is that you may easily build a big house and the
Trang 7garden, because charges for ground are much lower than in the suburbs Moreover, living
in the countryside is cheaper than it is in the city, so you probably may afford many other things, because the prices are lower What is more, you can invite your friends to the
barbecue organized in your garden It would be great! The other positive side is the safety
In the rural area the crime rate is much lower There aren't a lot of housebreaks and the possibility of burglary is also lower In the countryside people usually and keep eyes
on neighbour's estates They always react when something strange is happening Country life is very peaceful and silent You will enjoy the feeling of peace
However, there are a lot of positive aspects of living in the country side, there are also somedisadvantages Living in the country is slower People don't need to hurry and have a lot
of time People in the country don't have to work so many hours as they do in the city
On the other hand, they don't earn so much money Moreover, there aren't such interesting things to do during free time The unemployment rate is also much higher than in the city The problem may be also the communication If you don't have your own car, you may haveproblem how to commute to work The same problem concerns the access to the hospitals, schools, police stations and shops, which are usually located far from the village Last of all, there are some dangers connected with country life such as heavy snowfall or rainfall
To sum up, I think that living in the country may have a lot of advantages such as fresh air, breathtaking landscapes and comfort, but a lot of people decide to stay in the city, due to the fact that the life in the town is easier The easy access to shops and other institutions are the great advantage

Trang 104 Advantages and disadvantages of shopping online.
In some countries, online shopping is replacing shopping in stores Do you think it is a positive or negative development?
Currently, people are increasingly doing their shopping on the Internet instead of going to stores I personally believe this tendency has both positive and negative effects, which will be discussed below.
On the one hand, there are some benefits of online shopping Firstly, it is a quicker and cheaper way to shop since people can buy products at home without having to go to stores
or shopping malls For example, Amazon and eBay are two popular websites that provide
a huge number of different products, and customers can visit those sites and make
purchases easily As a result, consumers can save time and the costs of travelling
Secondly, online shopping allows people to have a wider range of choices as they can compare different brands and products For instance, buyers can easily compare the shoes
of Converse and Vans, while it is difficult to do that at physical stores.
On the other hand, online shopping can be negative in several ways The first drawback is that customers cannot try products before making a purchase For example, a girl cannot try wearing a dress to see if it fits her body Furthermore, products sold online are often less reliable, and the product that people finally get delivered to their house might have a poorer quality than expected Finally, because online shopping is easier and cheaper, people tend to buy too much, which would lead to a large waste of money This is less likely to happen if shopping in stores is more popular.
In conclusion, I believe the fact that shopping on the Internet is replacing shopping in physical stores is both positive and negative.

Essay topics: The advantages and disadvantages of online shopping
Nowadays, more and more people prefer buying something via the internet to shopping
at traditional markets or supermarkets Nevertheless, in my opinion, shopping online has both negative and positive aspects
The first advantage of online shopping is that buyers save more time than other ways
of shopping For example, to buy a motorbike, if you go to shops, you can spend all day
on asking about price and information of the product Meanwhile, if you surf the
internet, you can get full information about the product in several clicks; especially, it can be sent fully by the selling staff as soon as you visit their websites In addition, the price of product bought online is usually lower than that of one bought in shops There are now a great number of website supplying price comparing functions; as a
consequence, customers can choose the same products with the best price, so they cansave a large amount of not only time but also money Lastly, people rarely buy low- quality products if they read carefully feedbacks from previous customers Today,
various websites public truly buyers’ comments about their goods, so customers often choose products having the largest number of good comments
On the other hand, people may buy low- quality products Many online stores usually hide bad characters of products, but they only show good sides aiming to attract
customers’ attention For instance, once my friend visited a fashion website in which a skirt that she was satisfied with was sold with a reasonable price She decided to buy it immediately; as a consequence, its length was so short that she could not wear it whenshe went out In addition, many people may waste their money on buying unnecessary items because many shops usually recommend customers to buy one more products through attractive advertisements Especially, buyers’ private information such as ID numbers or bank accounts can be stolen when websites are attacked by hackers
Consequently, their money in bank account can be stolen or their private lives can be annoyed
Indeed, buying in the online shops has many benefits such as saving time, getting lower prices and receiving high-quality product from reputable stores Nevertheless, this buying style have some disadvantages, and to avoid these negative points,
customers should find out carefully products, stores and payment methods
