with staying at home and are driven to reach their individual goals I also love my

profession and would not like staying at home and only doing homework But

nevertheless I think it is important to be conscious about what we eat It is also a fact that fast food can lead to difficult health problems In addition many people suffer from

obesity When I cook my own meals I can decide what ingredients I use Another reason why I prefer to prepare food at home is that there is time to sit together with the family It

is a fix time of day where we all sit together at the table In my opinion this daily routine

is very important for children and helps to rise a feeling for the family, Although I know that it is not always possible to prepare my own meals and we of course sometimes have lunch or dinner at a restaurant or a food stand, in generally I prefer to prepare food at home for this reason

Essay 134 Topic 14 Should university students be required to attend classes?

Have you ever written an essay overnight? Have you ever had to bear a sleepy body for a required class that needed you sign up the next morning? Have you ever depended on coffee to keep alert in a tedious lecture? If you have such experiences, you will find that for a university student, more options is serious needed So,in my opinion, I agree with that going to classes should be optional for students

First of all, the goal of university education is to help students gain some practical

knowledge that they interest in If attending some specific classes is a burden for

students, university education may be described as a failure to some extent So why not give more optional ways to students The more optional the better it is After all, there is

no the only way in our life

Further more, the valuable resources in university should be fully used In addition to attend classes, you can absorb what you really want in library, on Internet and so on I can still remember my roommate Lee He never attended a computer course in university But through sitting in the front of a computer, searching information of technology by networks, analyzing many practical cases, eventually he became a senior engineer in Legend company, the biggest computer company in our country When graduated from university, he receive both a bachelor degree and a good job In sharp contrast, some who even did never miss a class have not get a job now In conclusion, attending classes is not everything, especially for a university student

Though attending classes is the basic way by which students learn their subjects, more options is good or even better for studying As a result, I consider that going to classes should be optional for students

What are the desirable of a good neighbor? It is a matter of opinion From my

perspective, if you have a good neighbor should be warm-hearted, helpful, and well-bred

Trang 2

First, a good neighbor should be warm-hearted I used to live in an alley, where there are quite a few warm-hearted senior citizens Whatever they met me, they never failed to say hello to me I also enjoyed exchanging greeting with them, telling them how things were going with me Now having lived an apartment for several years, I even do not know who

my neighbors are How I miss my old neighbors` happy smiling faces and their voice

Second, a good neighbor should be helpful When you are in trouble, a good neighbor may be the night person turn to for help She give you a ride to work if your car was broken and let your children stay at her house in the evening if you got stuck working overtime You would do the same for her Both of you would help make the other`s life easier

Most important, a good neighbor should be well-bred She will not play music loudly at midnight to disturb your sleep She will not threw waste paper or banana skin from the balcony to your yard if you live on the first floor Nor will she come to your room

without knocking at the door You find yourself living in a quiet and clean environment suitable for your life, study, and work

From what has been discussed above, the major qualities I think a good neighbor should

be warm-hearted, helpful, and well-bred If you have a good neighbor like that, cheer your lucky If not, try to find one for yourself But do not forget to be a good neighbor yourself

In collages, students have more right to choose whether they need to attend classes or not Some students think that classes are not necessary for them since they can read any materials by themselves Others claim that attending classes is still vital because it cannot only increase student`s knowledge but also develop student`s personality In my view, I agree that attending classes is still important for student`s lives

First, while attending classes, students can get some extra knowledge that they probably cannot find in any books Teachers always add their own knowledge into their classes Some knowledge comes from their real experience while others come from reading various kinds of books Therefore, for students, attending classes seems to be a shortcut for them to learn and get much knowledge since they cannot get such large amount of knowledge from reading only one or even a few types of books

Moreover, attending classes is also a good way for students to practice their

responsibilities After student enrolled in some classes, they need to force themselves to

go to every class no matter what time the classes is Moreover, finishing any task and homework that students got from their classes can also improve student`s responsibility Therefore, attending classes can also be to good way for practicing student`s

Trang 3

responsibility which is very vital when they go to work

Finally, students who participate in classes can exchange their idea and knowledge with other friends For example, while I attended classes, teachers always asked me and my classmates to express our own idea in some particular topics Moreover, teachers also asked us to work in group which we can learn about teamwork Students who study alone

at their home or library may not be able to exchange and share their idea with others Therefore, even through not attending classes can probably give students as much

knowledge as they do while joining in classes, they may not be able to express and show their thought process as good as students who attend classes do

In short, even though some people said going to class is not necessary for them, I think that, excepted knowledge, students can get something more while attending class

I think attending all the classes should be doubtlessly required for all the university students This is in classes that one can get himself really involved in the discussions, which are completely relevant to the subjects covered in the course

Today, most of university teachers are complete masters of the subjects that they teach It seems also that presenting a monologue is not as effective as getting the students

involved in teaching by having an interactive environment in which students can think and present their thoughts without fear or disgrace So the classes are moving to having flat and interactive conditions So, I do not think it would be a good idea to ignore these optimal situations for learning, in favor of loneliness for having better focus on the

teaching materials or relative reading

One other reason I think will remove any doubt on the matter is the overall time spend for attending classes during one semester; as long as I know, each credit of a course is

equivalent to one hour of class attendance in a week So, for a regular 3 credit university course, a registered student is required to spend just three hours in potentially more than

30 hours of official university hours in one week Is this time really so much that a

student decides to save it for - in the best conditions - self studies? Does this student learn subjects as efficiently when he is studying by himself, as in a live class? What does he do when facing a contradiction or even when a question rises in his mind that hinders his normal progress?

Another benefit of attending the classes is that students have to get themselves with the class by reviewing the subjects covered in each session and ask their probable

misunderstandings or questions in the next session By being with the class, the amount

of materials to be studied at the end of the semester for the final exams, which are very common, is reduced and made easy in study

Considering these normal conditions, I think if a student really is to study and learn the

Trang 4

required subjects, the best way would include attending the official class sessions But if this is not the case and he need not get the best from his course, he can cram for the final exam just a few hours and hopefully get a pass mark!

Sometimes I feel that studying alone seem to be more effective than attending the classes, especially, when I have a strong interest in a certain subject However, I disagree with the point of view that the classes should be optional for university students, because the function of the classes is never replaced by studying alone

The main reason for my view is that we cannot learn all knowledge gained from the classes by learning the textbook alone Since the professor had studied his subject for many years and had spent much times to prepare the class There muse be some

knowledge that are distinctive and cannot be gained from the textbook Furthermore, the professor knew which knowledge was very important, which can be skipped, and

carefully arranged the schedule Studying as the schedule should be more effective

Another reason for my view is that we not only can learn some knowledge in the classes but also learn the team spirit, the discipline and routine In the classes, we often discuss with other students, sometimes we even cooperate with others to accomplish a project So

we have to learn to get along with others and train our team spirit Regular attending the classes also can let us used to routine and obey the discipline All these characters are very important for our coming jobs

So based on all these reasons and examples, I think university students should attend the classes and that cannot be optional

Most of universities in north America have no requirement for students attending classes,

so going to class becomes an option for students Some people believe there are a lot of advantages for the students who have competence in auto-education, however others oppose to this To clarify this issue, let us identify some advantages and disadvantages of attending classes

For most of students in the universities, class lectures is the most important way to gain knowledge especially when someone just enter a brand new study field As we know, each course has its own properties which means the way to understand and the way to remember are different For example, a math course is full of logical analyze, and the teacher`s lecture give student the best and concise ideas to understand it Furthermore, leading students to the right method of thinking Obviously, it will save much time In class lectures facilitate the study for some students with some difficulties

Trang 5

On the contrary, some advanced students want to launch their own schedule and

challenge themselves in order to develop their self-learning abilities which is useful in their future work environment Not attending class, which gives them more time to study alone and think alone, results in increasing their competence to work independently That

is what the best universities want to give to their students Since different courses have different configurations, students should study each course in the different way For example, English is a time consuming course We do not need lots of understanding, but

we need to use much more time on remembering and practicing A English textbook shows all of the detail and explanation, so it is easy to obtain each knowledge point Therefore, self study on this subject is advisable Attending classes have advantage and disadvantage, which mostly depend on the students` abilities and penchant The course character is another considerable factor Students need to balance their study life in the university, choosing the best way to study for their future In conclusion, I do not want to see the universities have the attending class requirement as a policy

Essay 140 Topic 15 What are the qualities of a good neighbor?

I believe that in every community very special relationships occur between neighbors After our family and friends, neighbors are the closest people we have around us In my opinion, the qualities of a good neighbor are helpfulness, tactfulness and lack of unsound curiosity

To begin with, many people expect their neighbors to be helpful or to do them a favor when they are in trouble In my opinion, a good neighbor would not refuse to keep an eye

on our house or apartment when we are away What is more, good neighbors would never leave us outside in the rain if we have lost our home keys In addition, they would always suggest using their phone if ours is disconnected Or they would never refuse to lend us some sugar for our morning coffee

Apart from latter mentioned, I consider that tactfulness is a quality as important as

helpfulness is I would expect that my good neighbor would not tell every one what the color of my dressing gown is Neither he nor she would call the police because of loud music on my birthday party, for example

Finally many people believe their neighbors display a lot of unsound curiosity What does

it mean? These people feel that their neighbors try to spy on every step they make To be watched twenty-four hours a day is not only uncomfortable but also very irritating

Sometimes many misunderstandings occur between neighbors As a matter of fact, to have a good neighbor around you could be a real bless And if we are polite, helpful and

if we show required respect to our neighbors, I believe that sooner or later they would treat us in the same way

Trang 6

What are the most important qualities of a good neighbor? It`s a matter of opinion From

my point of view, I think a good neighbor should be warm-hearted, helpful, and

considerate for others

Firstly, a good neighbor should be warm-heated I used to live in a small alley, where there were quite a few warm-hearted persons Wherever I come across them, they never fail to say hello to me I also enjoyed exchanging greeting with them, telling them how things were going with me, what`s new on me, and sometimes handling home-made refreshments for them to share with me Can you imagine what it will be like if you lived

in an apartment where people never said a word to each other or even didn`t know each other`s names? I will never forget granny Wang`s benevolent smiling face and uncle Lee`s deep loving voice

Secondly, a good neighbor should be helpful Everyone will encounter some

inconvenience in his or her life When you are in dilemma, a good neighbor may be the most helpful person to turn to for help Suppose you have to go on a long journey to Africa, and you need someone to look after your pet You may naturally think of Mr Zhang, a good neighbor who is always willing to help you when you are in such a

situation

Thirdly, a good neighbor should be considerate for others He or she will never dance or play music loudly at midnight Of course, he will never throw waste paper or banana skin from the balcony to your yard if you live on the first floor Nor will he stay in your house till very late in the night since he knows you have to get up early next morning You will find yourself living in a quite and clean environment suitable for your life, study and work

Finally, I would like to mention that do not forget to be a good neighbor yourself Your neighbor will treat you exactly the same way you treat them So be a good neighbor yourself first, and you will find other people are all qualified good neighbors

The above-mentioned are the major qualities I think a good neighbor should possess If you have some good neighbor like that, my congratulations!

In time, humans have learned to live in harmony with each other The creation of

neighborhood is the result of this situation So now, people who live near to each other are called neighbors For a person to incur the idea that a neighbor is good or bad, he must have a set of qualities to test with These qualities may differ from person to person since it is a matter of personal feeling

The first quality I set is; for a neighbor to be a good one, he must be ready to help and be helped He must have the will to try to me in awkward situations, as I would also do the

Trang 7

same for him For example if fire breaks out in my house at midnight and if he is at home, he should at least call the police This quality is not associated only with danger; it may also be connected to such cases in which I may seek advice from my good neighbor The second quality pertains to privacy Both of us should respect each other`s privacy Although a good neighbor should be sociable, he must be able to refrain himself from protruding in my private life He must also be able to keep the secrets I let him in on In relation to this, good neighbors should be able to get together and discuss on issues of practical importance

A good neighbor should fulfill the third quality by possessing a good behavior He must never disturb my peace by showing misdemeanor Moreover, he must never let his

private action influence or disturb me For example, if he listens to music aloud at

midnight, I would absolutely be disturbed A good neighbor must not only respect my rights but also be capable of using his own rights appropriately

Generally, a good neighbor is the one who would care for me and the society as a whole

He must also be gregarious and should frequently participate in social affairs In short words, I would say that a good neighbor is the one who is sociable and with good

manner

"Good morning", my neighbor Ann gave me a sweet smile with her greeting when she saw me out of home "Save your energy, I`ll keep the door for you " my neighbor Jim kept the door of the elevator when he saw me heading to the elevator Such small but friendly things happen to me everyday, because I am lucky to live in a friendly apartment building My neighbors are polite, helpful and responsible persons, and I have no doubt that they are good neighbors

A good neighbor is a polite neighbor When you meet her, for example, she will say hello

to you with a smile face When you walk after her, she will hold the door for you When your kids wave to her, she will begin a small friendly conversation with the kids Polite neighbors give you a good mood in your every day`s life

A good neighbor is a helpful neighbor For instance, when you take heavy grocery and try to keep yourself in balance, he will give you a hand When you left your laundry in the washing machine, he will remind you or post a note in the laundry room When your car is in repair, he will voluntarily give you a ride to shopping mall Helpful neighbors help you to solve some problems in your life

A good neighbor is a responsible neighbor She will not listen the loudly music in the midnight, because she know she has the responsibility to keep a quiet circumstance for her neighbors to sleep well She will call police when she sees something strange in the neighborhood, keeping a good security for the neighborhood She will actively involve in

Trang 8

the neighborhood`s affairs, bringing the best for the neighborhood Responsible

neighbors contribute to the neighborhood`s better future

All in all, politeness, helpfulness and responsibility are the essential characters a good neighbor must possess Many people hope to have good neighbors and one thing we must not forget is to make ourselves good neighbors in our neighborho

Today most of the people work in the companies in the towns or in big cities Because of they have to live in apartment in the block of flats in the big cities from where they could

go very quickly to work And they have a lot of neighbors around them Every one of them has different tastes and interests so they often disturb each other Only few have the chance to live in houses outside the town, away from the annoying neighbors, and go to work by car Apart from that I think that neighbors could be good have and in the

following essay I will mention some of the qualities of good neighbor

When people live close to each other in an urban environment, the quality of life is

directly related to the way they treat each other Consequently, one of the most obvious qualities for good neighbor is to be quiet, because when people are at home they want to relax calmly in front of the TV or to listen to the music For example, I have awful

neighbors from morning till night they listen music very loudly, so that I could not do my homework for school and sometimes I could not sleep And also when my neighbor`s dog barks, I get annoyed

What is more I think that they must also be tactful and reasonable Neighbors are people near you But when you choose an apartment to live in, you could not choose your

neighbors It depends on luck to have a good neighbor And it will be wonderful if you could rely on him/her For example a young couple which have to go out on business and have to leave his child alone at home And instead of doing that they could leave their child with their neighbor

Last but not least neighbors could become good friends When one of the neighbors make

a party and make a lot of noise, which disturb his/her neighbors, he/she could invite them

to the party In this way the reasonable neighbor could cancel their bust of indignation and make new friends

In conclusion neighbors are a piece of big puzzle called city, we could compare each of them but we could not change them All we have to do is to keep a positive attitude, respect neighbors` privacy, and be patient to your neighbors

Essay 145 Topic 16 Should a new restaurant be built in your neighborhood?

It is not strange that somebody will agree to this plan They may think that it would be convenient to take breakfast or supper But, if I hear of that there will be a restaurant built

Trang 9

in my neighborhood, I would definitely oppose the plan

Among countless factors there is only one aspect that I would never stand, it is the noise

My family used to live beside a restaurant, I could never bear the noise any more Every night, at about 3 am, they were importing material such as meat, rice and some other stuff that is used in restaurant My whole family was woken up by the noise they made

Besides, during the daytime there were always lots of guests talking And sometimes there were some drinkers shouting singing and maybe fighting There goes the sleeping

It is really a nightmare The noise was everywhere all the time For this single reason I would never support

However here is another reason which is dirty surrounding Whenever you went out of your house, there were only oil on the ground, used tissues and unfinished food

everywhere in your eyes All before your eyes was just a mess You were bound to feel terrible I do not want my house near a pile of garbage

From my point of view, a family should offer us a clean place to live, a suitable condition

to rest and a quiet room to study and work In short, I would not support this plan

Essay 146 Topic 16 Should a new restaurant be built in your neighborhood?

It has been announced that a new restaurant may be built in your neighborhood After pondering this plan from several aspects, I totally support this plan The reasons are presented below

There is no denying that a new restaurant gives me more options to have dinner I love delicious food My family will go out for dinner at least once every week And I often give a dinner for our friends So a new restaurant is a new choice for us I may try more and enjoy more Building a new restaurant is a piece of good news for me

Another reason why I support this plan is that a new restaurant is helpful to local

economy The new restaurant is required to pay taxes to the local government The local government may use the money to serve the local people At the mean time, a new

restaurant will improve the local economical climate, which can attract more

businessmen and more investment

Finally, the plan can create more employment opportunities The new restaurants and the new following enterprises the businessmen invest in need more employees Most of the positions can be obtained by the local people, which can directly improve the living conditions of the local people

Based on the above discussion, I support the plan to build a new restaurant in my

neighborhood

Essay 147 Topic 17 Do you learn better by yourself or with a teacher?

Trang 10

I understand that their is no one best way to learn, however, I believe that learning is more effective and efficient when a teacher is present

One of my past professors always said that “you simply cannot learn if you do not ask questions ” I agree with my professor completely No matter what you`re trying to learn,

it always helps to have an expert on hand to answer questions when you get to a

confusing aspect There is nothing more frustrating than studying for hour upon hour only

to become stumped Having a teacher present can alleviate this shortfall and make

studying more efficient and effective

A teacher`s assistance in learning material can also attribute to retaining learned material

I have noticed on numerous occasions that I am able to recall information much easier if

it was obtained through my auditory sense I can remember several test-taking situations where I have been able to recall a professor`s lecture, as if he/she were instructing me on how to complete the test

In the end, I understand that there is no one best way to learn Personally, however, I believe that learning is more effective and efficient in the presence of a teacher Having a teacher present will avoid the frustration caused by “sticking points” and will allow for easier recollection of concepts learned

Essay 148 Topic 17 Do you learn better by yourself or with a teacher?

Today, in our world, there are many ways of learning But all these ways can be generally grouped into two learning by oneself and being taught by a teacher The former could

be further classified into diverse ways of learning which are specific Reading books, making experiments and making researches can be cited as examples This kind of

learning would be what I prefer if I were to choose

If a teacher was to teach me, he would most likely make my knowledge confined to what

he knows This means that I will be fully dependent on his knowledge But if I learn by myself, I would make my own efforts to gain knowledge Through this, I could broaden

my knowledge since there is no limit to knowledge gained through practice (effort) For example in mathematics, if a teacher would show me a method of calculating a problem and that will become the only method I know to solve that specific problem But if I solve the problem myself by the knowledge I gained from other sources, I would be compelled

to search for other easier methods This may also be connected with memory; you never forget something you learn through the hard way

The other reason for my preference is that, if by any chance you come to hate (dislike)
