Mobile phones have brought mostly benefits to our personal lives. Do you agree or disagree?

INTRODUCTION In recent years, the world has witnessed a booming number of mobile phones. They are
dramatically changing the way people contact to each other. It is apparent that mobile phones
has had a profound influence on personal lives. However, not all the effects of them have
been positive.
5
POSITIVE To begin with, using mobile phones is one of popular methods for people to communicate, relax
ASPECT and do business. By using call or video phone, text message, we are able to keep in touch
together despite a long distance. These days, with the significant developement of cell phones,
they enable users to entertain such as surfing the internet, sending photos or downloading videos
and games. According to a research, the number of people accessing the web through mobile
phones is now accounting for well over 15% of worldwide internet usage. Furthermore, some
Office applications for mobile phones, for example, Miccrosoft Office are helping employees do
their business more effectively.

NEGATIVE Although it is true that people are now getting a number of advantages from mobiles, these
ASPECT communication technologies also have several negative impacts. Firstly, using cell phones too
much will probably be harmful for human's health as it can increase the risk of brain cancer. In
addition, children are spending a lot of their free time on using mobiles with the purpose of
chatting or playing games. This is time consuming and affect negatively on their studies. Lacking
of face-to-face communication is also the result of using mobiles. Instead of going out or dating,
many people prefer to stay at home and use their cell phones to connect to others.
CONCLUSION In general, mobile phones have both pros and cons to our society. They make the people's lives
and works become more convinient. Yet, mobile phones still impact badly on health, time and
communication of individuals. To advoid these problems, each person should manage the time of
using mobiles reasonably. Besides, the awareness of people about the disadvantages of mobile
phones should be improved.
The use of social media, such as Facebook, Twitter, is replacing face-to-face contact in this century. Do you
think the advantages of this way outweigh the disadvantages?

Gợi ý: Dạng bài Opinion, trong đó người viết PHẢI phân tích cả lợi ích và bất lợi của việc giao tiếp qua mạng
xã hội và các phương tiện truyền thông trước khi đưa ra quan điểm của mình. Bài gợi ý dưới đây thiên về
hướng tiêu cực của xu hướng này.

INTRODUCTION

6
Đoạn 1: Lợi ích của Ý 1: Media technologies lift up any geographical barriers as people are enabled to interact
việc giao tiếp qua 24/7 with more people than ever before.
mạng xã hội và các
→ E.g. Facebook and Twitter have become so popular that over 3 billion people around the
phương tiện truyền
world can be connected with a click of the mouse.
thông 
→ Old friends who have been out of touch for ages can be linked on an international social
network and exchange pleasantries.
→ One can effortlessly find others sharing the same interest and thoughts regardless of where
they are, which was previously rather intricate.
(Các công nghệ truyền thông phá bỏ bất kỳ rào cản địa lý nào khi mọi người có thể tương tác
24/7 với nhiều người hơn bao giờ hết. → ví dụ: Facebook và Twitters đã trở nên phổ biến tới
mức hơn 3 tỷ người trên khắp thế giới có thể được kết nối bằng một cú nhấp chuột. → Những
người bạn cũ đã mất liên lạc của nhau trong một thời gian dài có thể được liên kết trên một
mạng xã hội quốc tế và trò chuyện. → Một người có thể dễ dàng tìm thấy những người khác
chia sẻ cùng một quan tâm và suy nghĩ bất kể họ đang ở đâu, điều mà trước đây là phức tạp.)
Ý 2: Social networking sites are powerful tools to accelerate the flow of information
→ E.g. Breaking news is up to the minute and available for free.
→ Keeping abreast of what is happening around us has never been simpler.
(Các mạng xã hội là công cụ mạnh mẽ để đẩy nhanh luồng thông tin → ví dụ: Tin tức được
cập nhật đến từng phút và miễn phí. →Việc nắm bắt được những gì đang xảy ra xung quanh
chúng ta chưa bao giờ đơn giản hơn)

Đoạn 2: Bất lợi của Ý 1: A new set of communication barriers has been unexpectedly created by the employment
việc giao tiếp qua of social media.
mạng xã hội và các
→ A number of people in present age often interact via messages with icon showing their
phương tiện truyền
emotions rather than actual tone of voice
thông 
→ Misunderstanding is more likely to occur or anyone can hide behind the text.
(Một loạt các rào cản truyền thông mới đã vô tình được tạo ra bởi việc sử dụng các phương
tiện truyền thông xã hội. → Nhiều người ngày nay thường tương tác thông qua các tin nhắn
với biểu tượng thể hiện cảm xúc của họ chứ không phải giọng điệu thực tế → Sự hiểu nhầm
có nhiều khả năng xảy ra hoặc bất cứ ai có thể giấu mình phía sau những dòng tin nhắn.)
Ý 2: Social media equipment presents an unprecedented paradox. With all the powerful social
technologies at our fingertips, we are more connected and also potentially more disconnected.
→ As everyone is approachable online, it is no longer a demand for visiting friends and
relatives to get updated of one another.
→ An increasing number of people face loneliness in today’s widely connected world.
(Các thiết bị phương tiện truyền thông tạo ra một nghịch lý chưa từng có. Với tất cả các công
nghệ xã hội mạnh mẽ trên tay, chúng ta được kết nối nhiều hơn và cũng có khả năng bị tách
biệt hơn. → Vì mọi người đều có thể được tiếp cận trực tuyến, không còn nhu cầu đến thăm
bạn bè và người thân để cập nhật tin tức của nhau. → Ngày càng nhiều người đối mặt với sự
cô đơn trong thế giới kết nối ngày nay.)

CONCLUSION

SAMPLE WRITING

INTRODCTION Nowadays, the constant growth of technology has given rise to social media applications such
as Facebook and Twitter. Consequently, there is now considerable concern for face-to-face
interaction. However, I believe the benefits overshadow the drawbacks of the rise of
social media.

NEGATIVE POINT It is apparent that more time spent on social media equals less time for social interaction. In
other words, people whose social media’s usage is heavy face shortage of real human face-to-
face contact, which causes negative impacts to their emotional development. A recent
experiment from New York University has proven this. The experiment involved two starved
groups of people who frequently used social media apps and those who rarely used them.
7
 There was 35% of the people who constantly used social media apps refused to share their
assistance food to others, but there was 80% of the people who rarely used social media apps
agreed to share. This experiment should indicate that social media can negatively affect
people’s emotional intelligence, especially their sympathy and empathy.

POSITIVE However, the benefits that social media users earn are countless by eliminating the major
constraint the world has faced for a long time: geographical distance. First, people from over
the world are brought closer together, which is the base of relationship formation. For
example, Pew Research Center reported that in 2017, there were 40 million Americans using
online dating websites like Tinder and OKCupid. In economic context, social media promotes
online sales activities. Let’s consider Amazon, the company that is so successful with online
sales. It started with the social media habits of most people in America, encouraged online
shopping routines and generated a lot of profit.

CONCLUSION All in all, it is explicable to say that the advantages of the rise of social media outweigh the
disadvantages. Although there might be some negative influence on users’ social behavior,
but the benefits are tremendous and able to compensate that.

The users of social media, such as Facebook, Twitter, are replacing face-to-face contact in this century. Do you
think the advantages of this way outweigh the disadvantages?

INTRODUCTION Social media has long been regarded as the technological innovation in the mordern world.
Today, people tend to spend most of their time on social media and the way they interact with the
whole community may be altered. The following essay will discuss the pros and cons of this
phenomenon in depth.
ADVATAGES To begin with, depending too much on mass media may not totally free from drawbacks. The
primary problem is that lacking some essential skills such as communication and problem
solving may result from this tendency. To be more precise, when addicted to social media,
people may lose their interaction with the genuine world. As the certain result, people may have
difficulties in expressing their mind and emotion. On the other hand, this trend may also lead to
the meaningless life in the long run. In other world, hardly can people realize the true meaning of
their life without life experiences that virtual world cannot bring to them. Hence, although social
media is the great innovation with many convenience but it cannot replace the role of face-to-
face conversation
DISADVATAGE It is, however, evident that the mass media also brings enormouse benefits for us if used
properly. Firstly, media plays the vital role in helping people keep up with the wheel of life. In
fact, thanks to technological innovations as social media, people may not get into trouble with
the unceasing change in the fast changing world. Besides, social media has the ability to bridge
the gap between people. To be more specific, with these innovations, people can communicate
with each other in easier ways regardless of distance so that they can mantain long distance
relationship. Therefore, if using social media with adequate awareness, people can receive many
advantages from them.
CONCLUSION To sum up, all things contain within them both merits as well as drawbacks and social media is
not the exception but it seems that the disadvantages may far outweigh its advantages. No matter
what innovations appear, they cannot change the traditional method people use to communicate
9
 to each other. 
Mobile telephones have brought many benefits but they have also had negative effects.Do the disadvantages of
having mobile phones outweigh the advantages? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant
examples from your own knowledge and experience. You should write at least 250 words.

Introduction Nowadays, the development of mobile telephones gives people many advantages. However, there are a
lot of disadvantages brought when people use mobile phones. In this essay, I am going to examine
this question from both points of view and then give my opinion on the matter.
Positive On the one hand, there are several positive effects on using mobile phones. Firstly, the cutting-edge
technology like mobile phones can offer opportunities for people to be better educated. This is because
that people are able to study online subjects on websites in their domestic or another country. Besides,
documents can be found easily through the mobile phone connected the Internet. Secondly, some
functions on mobile phones can assist people to relax. People can listen to music or watch videos
whenever they desire.
Negative On the other hand, this idea has a few fundamental drawbacks. One problem is that the
concentration can be decreased. For example, the person who is working or studying cannot focus on
what he is doing if his phone bell ring many times. Another issue is that having mobile phones can
make people lonelier. This is due to that most people contact with each other through their phone.
Hence, the face-to-face communication is not usually used. In addition to this, many children and
teenagers who are addicted game online stay at their home regularly instead of meeting or going out
with their friends.
Conclusion In conclusion, having mobile phones does not only bring convenience but also negative influences.
Overall, I believe that there is a balance in benefits and drawbacks when people use mobile phones.

Introduction The world has witnessed a significant growth of mobile phones in the recent years, which changed the
way people contact remarkably. However, there has been much debate about the positive and negative
impacts of mobile phones on users. It seems to me that mobile phones have greatly affected its users
in both sides and this essay will grant us a chance to discuss both sides in detail.

Positve On the one hand, mobile phones increase the speed of communication, which allows people to get
connected, relax and do business with ease. As a result, cell phones users are able to keep in touch
with their relatives and friends at a great distance. Moreover, the significant development of
smartphones and its applications provide users with a plethora of entertainment such as, gaming,
surfing the Internet, along with listening to music. Last but not least, a further advantage of using
mobile phones in business is that its office application (Microsoft Office) helps employees do their
business more effectively and professionally

Negative On the other hand, it is acknowledged that mobile phones have numerous negative effects on users.
From a medical point of view, frequent exposure to radiation created by high frequency could be
harmful to human’s health, or particularly increase the risk of cancer. Also, it is believed that if
children spent more time on their phones to chat or play games rather than study, their performance at
school would drop notably. Finally, although mobile phones increase the speed of communication, the
lack of face to face communication due to the excessive use of mobile phones can worsen certain
relationships.

Conclusion In conclusion, mobile phones bring both pros and cons for the users. It is my belief that every phone
user should use them wisely to take full advantages.

THỰC HÀNH VIẾT BÀI LUẬN PROBLEM-SOLUTION

The internet has transformed the way information is shared and consumed but it has also created problems that did
not exist before. What are the most serious problems associated with the internet and what solutions can you
suggest?

INTRODUTION The enormous growth in the use of the internet over the last decade has led to radical changes to
the way that people consume and share information. Although serious problems have arisen as
a result of this, there are some effective solutions
PROBLEMS
One of the first hoac main problems of the internet is the ease with which children can

access potentially dangerous sites. For example, pornography sites are easily accessible to

them because they can register with a site and claim to be an adult. There is no doubt that this

10
 affects their thoughts and development, which is a negative impact for the children and for

society. Another major problem is the growth of online fraud and hacking. These days, there

are constant news stories about government and company websites that have been hacked,

resulting in sensitive information falling into the hands of criminals.

SOLUTIONS
It is important that actions are taken to combat these problems. Government should

ensure that adequate legislation and controls are in place that will prevent young people from

accessing dangerous sites, such as requiring more than simply confirming that you are an adult

to view a site. In addition, parents also have a part to play. They need to closely monitor the

activities of their children and restrict their access to certain sites, which can now be done

through various computer programs. Finally, companies must also improve their onsite its

security systems to make fraud and hacking much more difficult by undertaking thorough

reviews of their current systems for weaknesses.

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, the internet is an amazing technological innovation that has transformed
people's lives, but not without negative impacts. However, with the right actions by
individuals, governments and businesses, it can be made a safe place for everyone.
Traffic Problems
 Traffic congestion is caused by commuters travelling to work;
 Most people live in the suburbs outside city center;
 Commuters tend to travel at the same time of day;
 They tend to travel alone;
 Cars and road space are not used efficiently;
 This causes traffic jams during the rush hour.
Traffic Solutions
 In order to reduce traffic we should change our working habits;
 The internet can now be used to connect people;
 More people could work from home;
 Meetings can be held as video conferences;
 Workers could be given flexible timetables;
 Another solution would be to tax drivers;
 Workers should share their cars and travel together;
 In London, for example, there is a congestion charge;
 This helps to raise money for better public transport;
 Public transport needs to be reliable and efficient.

big cities
CAUSES There are many reasons for the popularity of fast food. One of the main reasons is the
change in lifestyle. In fact, many people in big cities are working long hours, shifts, or
extended school days. They, therefore, don’t have time to find ingredients or prepare good
food. Moreover, women are now starting to work in big cities, and this can result in less
time being available for preparing family meals.. Another factor is advertising. Big
cities are very modern, free market, with all forms of media, such as the Internet and
satellite televison, and people like to try new products and different kinds of fast food.

EFFECTS On the other hand, / However, this change in diet can have some serious effects. One
effect is on health. There is a fact that many individuals in big cities are becoming obese.
That is, these people will be less productive and have conditions, such as heart disease and
diabetes. A clear illustration is that children and adults rarely eat together now, and thus
get less opportunity to talk. A further impact is economic. Although fast food is not very
expensive, it is more expensive than cooking properly for yourself. In addition to this,
many of the fast food companies are franchisees of foreign cooperations, so profits leave
the country.

CONCLUSION In conclusion, fast food, although it is convenient and a tasty addition to a diet, can have
serious health and social effects. People should learn to choose fast food carefully and
remember the pleasure of eating good food in good company.
