TOPICS FOR THE FINAL EXAM

1. Advantages and disadvantages of studying far away from home and living in the
dormitory...
I'm going to talk about advantages of studying far away from home.
Studying far from home has both advantages and disadvantages.
However, I think studying away from home brings more advantages than
disadvantages. My presentation consisted of three main benefits. The
first advantage of studying far away from home is that people who living
far from home have more freedom. You can set your own rules, go to
bed late, invite friends to your place, have parties whenever, and you
don’t have to report to anyone. In conclusion, you can do what you
want. The second advantage that i would like to mention is independent.
Studying far away from home makes you lost the attention and cake of
your parents. That can help you become an independent
person. You're being able to manage your things by yourself that as
laundry, clean, cooking, reasonable spend. Last but not least, it is new
experiences. For example, If you live in Hai Phong and decide to go to
school in Ha Noi, you will likely be exposed to a variety of new people
and places. Studying far away from home exposes you to a new culture
that can let your chance to grow new understandings, ideas. To sum up,
studying far away from home offers you some major advantages as
mentioned above. I myself think that we should try to overcome the
difficulties of studying far away from home. It will make us more mature.

b) i'm going to talk about disadvantages of living in the dormitory. My

presentation consisted of three main drawback. The first disadvantage
of living in the dormitory is that it is quite small space. If you lived
in dormitory, you would sleep with a small bed and there are
small desks because you have to share the room with 6-10 students.
Living in the dorm means you won't get to bring along all your
belongings because there simply won't be room. The second
disadvantage that i would like to mention is less privacy. Since you must
share a room with someone else, each with their own lifestyle, there is
no privacy. Your roommates will hear your phone, see your bad habits. A
dorm room opens right into the hallway, meaning anyone who passes by
can see inside when your door is open. If you are a person who
likes privacy, dorm life maybe a challenge. Last but not least, it is
distraction. Dorm life is often noisy. It is also
interrupts your studies. For example, If you study to prepare for an exam,
but the music in the next room affects you. Or the noise of
your roommates, you will not be able to concentrate on studying if
friends stop by every few minutes. In conclusion, living in
the dormitory offers you some major disadvantages as mentioned
above.

2.Advantages and dissadvantages of traditional learning/online courses.

ONLINE LEARNING
Advan:
The traditional learning is the direct way of learning between teachers and students,
has been applied by our ancestors since time immemorial. However, due to the
influence of the CoVD19 epidemic, society has arisen a new learning method that
is online cources to help students keep up with lectures without having to go to
school to concentrate. This online cource have many advantages and disadvantages,
now I will talk about…of this method.
First, it will be easier to approach the course. We only need a smartphone , a laptop
with internet connection then study in our own house or everywhere that you are
comfortable. Besides, it will give you a better chance to manage your timetable
reasonably. So you will save a lot of traveling expenses, especially in the case you
can't go to school. Second, advantage of online course is that it's efficiency. Online
learning will help students listen to the lecture better, because the teacher will
speak or record the lecture through the mic and when listening to the lecture, the
sound will be very clear and easy to hear. This is much more beneficial than
listening to lectures in class because the teacher's teaching sound can be affected by
the noise of the students in the class, or the students sitting at the back will be
difficult to hear. teachers give lessons. Online learning also helps students to listen
and study anytime, anywhere. In addition to the lessons, teachers often record
lectures and upload them to the school's intranet, so students can easily review the
lectures anytime, anywhere.

Disadvan:
However there are also some disadvantages of studying online . For example , you
will be dependent on the electricity and internet . If the power is gone , you can't
take part in the course . Another disadvantage is that you will be more self -
discipline . Because nobody else will stand by you and help you with your study . If
you are neglect , you may lose the new knowledge . So you will be responsible for
yourself . Students will spend a lot of money on smart devices to study and
network, so 100% of students must have. For this learning method, teachers will
not be able to cover and control all students in the class, so they must be self-
disciplined and serious, otherwise the learning results will be very poor. Personally,
I find online learning makes my eyes very tired when I have to stare at the
computer screen for 2 to 4 hours, and in the process of studying I have to charge
and study so that the computer does not run out of battery. , however doing this is
very dangerous and can lead to an explosion, which is life-threatening. Therefore, I
hope the school can improve the lesson time reasonably so that both teachers and
students can feel secure in the process of teaching and accumulating knowledge.

There are many negatives, but regardless of the learning method, we need to have
self-discipline and independence in learning. At the same time, actively equip the
necessary knowledge for new lessons. Based on the advantages of each method and
try to overcome the disadvantages. Only then can we achieve good academic
results and be proud of ourselves.

TRADITIONAL LEARNING

Advan:
The traditional learning is the direct way of learning between teachers and students,
has been applied by our ancestors since time immemorial. So what are the
advantages and disadvantages of this learning method, let's find out below
Firsr, when studying directly at the lecture hall, teachers can cover all students.
Thus, the teaching will be more effective and more receptive. Students will not be
able to do other thing, out of position or talk during class, they will have to sit in
their correct positions to focus on the lecture. Second, This traditional learning
method will have its own rules, training students to be disciplined.
Disadvan:
The fact that students travel by moto easily leads to many risks when traveling on
the road. Traveling by motorbike also costs a lot because students have to fill up
gas. Students who are far away have to travel by public bus, they will have to stay
at school for many days to study. Having to stay at school also costs a lot because
they have to spend money to rent a hostel or dormitory, food, electricity, water, etc.
Beside the teacher's teaching sound can be affected by the noise of the students in
the class, or the students sitting at the back will be difficult to hear teachers give
lessons.

There are many <negatives/advantage>, but regardless of the learning method, we

need to have self-discipline and independence in learning. At the same time,
actively equip the necessary knowledge for new lessons. Based on the advantages
of each method and try to overcome the disadvantages. Only then can we achieve
good academic results and be proud of ourselves.

3.Advantages and disadvantages of a package holiday and a self–catering holiday.

PACKAGE HOLIDAY
Due to the epidemic, out contry’s tourism industry is being delayed, but it will
grow strongly again when the epidemic is under control. When it come to traveling,
everyone will be interesting, and we often wonder between two methods that are
package holiday and sefl-catering holiday.
Nowaday, Traveling tour is not too strange when more and more travel companies
appear. When traveling by tour, you will not to have a worry much about issues
such as accommodation, drink, food, but just order a reasonable tour package and
comply with the given time, you will have a trip right away ride. You also do not
need to be too concerned with cucumber some and time-consuming procedure, but
you just need to prepare documents and the travel company will take care of the
rest. At the same time, the cost of the tour will be cheaper because the company
have a linked with Hotel and restaurant, bought tickets in advance, so they will get
a more favorable price than if you go on your own. And not being too
knowledgeable or inexperience about the city where you come from will make
spending difficult and out of the control.
In addition to the above benefits, tour travel also has many limitation that make
people afraid. The most obrious drawback is that when you go on a tour you will
not have much free time,all must follow the tour schedule that you have paid for,
including visiting time within the specified range, dear time and need to prepare
mentally in the schedule will have some “boring” points. Traveling by tour, it is
necessary to have a collective spirit, when in a group there are a few individuals
who do not follow the time, the whole group has to wait. And so your trip will
depend A lot on other member of the group.
so, let’s considered for ourselves to to choose a suitable way when traveling and
find out in advance about survives and prices to have an Enjoyable and expensive
trip.
SEFL-CATERING HOLIDAY
Due to the epidemic, out contry’s tourism industry is being delayed, but it will
grow strongly again when the epidemic is under control. When it come to traveling,
everyone will be interesting, and we often wonder between two methods that are
package holiday and sefl-catering holiday.
If you are too knowledgeable about where you are going, it will be more
economical to go self catering, you can choose place to stay and vistit that are
suitable for your financial ability. This travel package is often chosen by people
who like to be independent, like to explore and experience on their own. You will
not be dependent on the tour schedule and you can go where you want can stay
where you like without being constrained by time. You can comfortably plan your
own route and the places you want go. Self-sufficient travel helps you grow up
improve your communication skills, make new relationship master your time, save
money and discover new lands.
So many benefits, but self catering travel also has many limitation that make u
afraid. With self planning and self travel, self sufficient travel will certainly bring
many difficulties, especially with trips abroad. You may have a trouble such as not
beingfluent in your language, getting lost, not being used to talking public
transport, having a high probability of being hacked, etc. Besides, you also have a
to do everything yourself- book flight tickets, book cars, find accomodation, eat
and drink,… without any guidance. So if it’s your first time coming to a new place
or a different country, you will surely encounter many difficulties.
So, let’s considered for ourselves to to choose a suitable way when traveling and
find out in advance about survives and prices to have an Enjoyable and expensive
trip.

4.Positive effects and negative effects of mass media and social networks on
individuals and society.
*Possitive Social media is a useful tool and has become an essential part of modern
life today. First of all, for individuals, it will be a great tool for learning in the most
effective way. You can study online or train remotely via the Internet. It saves you
a lot of time or can easily communicate with the teacher online when there are
questions that need to be answered. Not only that, it also helps you to introduce
yourself to others: We can introduce our personality, interests, and opinions on
social networks and it can help us to find to develop our abilities. Also, you can
receive information, learn knowledge and skills, learn a lot more knowledge, hone
skills to help you improve yourself even more. Moreover, it also helps you to do
business, work, ..... As for social aspects, social network is like a solid wire
connecting everyone in the world through networking sites such as facebook, zalo,
instagram,... Besides, it is also the guideline of education in the current covid
pandemic, online learning is the most optimal solution in the education industry. It
is also a tool to help people find jobs, enormous fundraising tool , useful in the
fight against increasing suicide rates..... In conclusion, social media has a very
important role in today's life.
*Negative Social media is a useful tool and has become an essential part of modern
life today, but besides the positive aspects, they still have many limitations. First of
all, for individuals, social networks make us waste time and distract from studying
and working. When we focus too much on social media, it's easy to forget the real
purpose of life. Instead of focusing on finding knowledge to prepare for the future
by learning the necessary skills, young people just focus on becoming "keyboard
heroes" and become famous online. For example, when there is a scandal, people
will not hesitate to spread fake news to drown the scandalous character and use
vulgar words to get views and like sentences. Social networks also contribute to
increasing competition, the non-stop competition to find likes and it will
significantly steal your time. . Not only that, it also increases the risk of depression,
recent studies show that the more people use social networks, the more negative
they feel, which can even lead to depression. Moreover, social networks make us
lose sleep, lack of creativity, lose the ability to control behavior, cyber violence.
For society, the Internet affects political security, social order and safety: In
addition to the positive aspects, the Internet contains many risks that threaten the
security and order of each country and each locality. Some websites are registered
to be established by organizations and individuals abroad. Taking advantage of the
Internet, hostile forces and criminals have violated local security and order for
personal purposes. Besides, there are many black websites that affect young
people's perception, it makes us increase virtual emotions, away from real
emotions.... It can be said that social networks are increasingly controlling their
lives.
5. Relationship between health condition and eating habits and lifestyle. (Describe
one of your health problem/benefit related to what you eat and how you live)
ADVAN
Eating habits play an important role in each of our lives. By following healthy
eating habits, the first advantage you can see is lowering the risk of heart diseases.It
will help you to boost your mood and reduce the stress levels, and also will help
you to perform all physical daily activities well.Food with good Combined with
physical activity will help you to lead a healthy weight and lifestyle and reduce the
risk of chronic diseases like cancer. Not only that, diets rich in fiber such as
vegetables and fruits may reduce the risk of obesity, health problems and type 2
nutrition diabetes. Healthy eating habits, overall, helps you gain the benefit of
weight loss, stroke prevention, building better mood, efficiency, and better
memory.
DISADVAN
Unhealthy eating habits have a very bad effect on our health. First, unhealthy habits
like; junk food regularly leads to the risks of obesity, Cardiovascular disease, type 2
diabetes, liver disease and certain types of cancers too.Moreover, Poor diet habits
can compromise the capacity to work and help develop and stress which contribute
further eating to the risk of being overweight, high blood pressure, tooth decay, and
some other illnesses.Moreover, processed or packed foods which are frozen or
canned contain much extra sugar, salt, oil, calories and preservatives which
increases the food's shelf life but collectively all these increase the risks of
hypertension, high sugar levels, heart disease etc... In short, each of us must have
the right diet for good health
6. Good points and harmful effects of processed foods/convenience foods.
GOOG
Convinient food is very popular and widespread all over the world. They
cause many negative/ positive things in people’s lifes. Socially, since people
can eat convenient food in their own country, this means that the government
allows people to conduct such business. The introduction of international
convinient food is not purely "alternative" to traditional diet. At the same
time8, the development of convinient food company can create many jobs,
which can drive economic development. With respect to the family, compared
with the traditional diet, it is more convenient, so that people can better
enhance the efficiency of work and life. Many people start to work or study
very early so they don't have much time to have a breakfast. So some of them
get up early to make meals and someone even don't eat. With the help of
convinient food, they don't need to get up so early but can also have a
breakfast. When people feel hungry when they are waiting for a bus or a train
but there is not much time left, they can go to a convinient store near the
station to have a quick meal. Then they won't be hungry any longer they won't
miss their trip, or we are in a shopping mall and we feel tired and hungry, we
could go to the convinient store to have a rest and fill up our belly and then we
will be refreshed to continue our shopping! Sometimes, we do not have much
time for us to have a meal. We may not have the time or the chance to go
home or go to a normal restaurant to have a formal meal. Then convinient food
is a good choice for us. The other aspect that shows the convenience of it is
that convinient food can be easy to carry and we don't need to eat at the
restaurant so we could save a lot of time spent in the restaurants when we are
really very busy during the meal time.
BAD
In 21. century everbody is too busy and everytime in rush. Generally you can
not see anybody just sitting in a cafe and having rest and talking with friends
but you can see peole eating fastly and not talking to anybody. This busyness
lead to born of convinient food. Beside the positives, CVN food has low
nutrients and causes many dangerous diseases for our health.
In that portion of food may be less meat, fish or cheese than you would
include in homemade versions. Cost per serving may be higher than
homemade.Not only that, convenience food are typically high in calories, fat,
saturated fat, sugar ,salt, and trans-fats, they tend to lack freshness in fruit and
vegetable.Nutrient maybe lost during processing and not replaced.Moreover,
the use of preservative for convenience food after containing BHA and BHT
causes alarming health effects. causing dieases related to the liver and nervous.
Beside, too many processed in the diet limit the intake of NSP.
There are many convenient benefits, but it also causes many negative effects
on health. Therefore, although its prepartion time is quick and cheap, we
should limit the use of these food to protect our health.Let's eat healthy foods.
7. Positive effects and negative effects of entertainment on individuals and society.
POSITIVE
Entertainment bring us many positive effects. On individual, entertainment, of
course help us relax. Suppose you have finished a long day with so much work or
deadline, what would you do next? Do you want to listen some jazz songs which
have sweet melodies? Obviously, we need entertainment because it help us relax.
This also include decreasing stress by suffering from any of pressure. One of the
benefits of entertainment that nowadays many student have gotten is it enhances
their learning ability. More and more students now are using many kinds of
entertainment on their study. They are interested in online course or learning on
YouTube. They are in a habit of listening chill songs while studying. And
moreover, they even have many opportunities to getting imformation, as well as
new knowledge just by watching videos on social network. So, what entertainment
brings is learning ability or getting knowledge easily and fast. And modern
entertainment are taking responsibility. As a result, entertainment and learning now
can doing at the same time. What about on society? The development of
entertainment industry leads to the establishment of many service company. This
can directly affects on decreasing unemployment rate. Since more and more service
company are established, more and more opportunities for us to get a well-paid job.
The development of entertainment finally plays an important role on driving
economic development. Another positive effects of entertainment on social is that it
will help a country spread out traditional culture. Then it will become a part of
remarkable features or symbol of this country. For example, the South Korea
entertainment industry is not stranger to us. They are really famous for K-Pop and
K-drama which most of us are all interested in. When we watch K-drama, we know
about Korea traditional custom - Hanbok, about their biggest holiday - the Mid
Autumn and so on. As a result, when metioning K-Pop or K-drama, the first thing
flashes through our minds is South Korea culture. This is a benefit of entertainment
besides that it can bring millions dollars for country economy and speed up GDP.
NEGATIVE
However, we can't deny that entertainment has negative effects. Firstly, if you have
used too much any kinds of entertainment, you are easily addicted. Instead of doing
important things, you maybe spend your times on entertainment. If this situation
last a long time, it could become a bad habit. Addicted entertainment is that you
can't stay away kinds of entertainment. You will feel very uncomfortable if the
internet aren't available or you always think that you don't have enough times for
entertainment. As a result, you have to pay a lot, both money and time only on
entertainment. Not only does it waste time and money, it even directly affects our
health. And this is a sign of unhealthy lifestyle. On society, the development of
exotic entertainment imported from foreign countries can run the risk of losing
traditional culture. Entertainment is a attractive things and easy to access so we can
be acquired all we saw, we listen, ect on it. When we approach exotic
entertainment, we know more about foreign countries but we can also lose our
traditional culture. For example, we love American Entertainment, we tend to be
interested in wearing jeans. We love Chinese Entertainment, we watch Chinese
historical film and understand Chinese history, as well as Chinese dynasties more
than Vietnam history. Many surveys point out Vietnam's teenager don't want to
study history because it is too boring! So why don't we use entertainment for a part
of educational plan?
8. Advantages and disadvantages of using public/private transportation.
a) I'm going to talk about advantages of public transportation. Nowadays, traffic
problems are becoming more and more serious, especially in big cities. One of the
solutions for this case is the application of public transport. My presentation
consisted of two main benefits. The first advantage of public transport that i would
like to mention is very economical. Taking buses and trains is cheaper than using
private cars. If you have your own car, you have to pay a lot of money for service,
repairs, and insurance. It maybe will cost all the money you earn. Moreover, there
are many discounts for some individuals, like students, old people, and children.
They can get cheaper prices by taking public transport. Students have to go to
school almost every day, and they usually take public transport to school and home.
It is more economical for students. Last but not least is that using public transport
can preserve the environment. It can reduce pollution, because there are fewer cars
driving on the road, and there are fewer fumes and also less traffic jams. Moreover,
it can increase the spaces in the city, because there are fewer cars parking. Taking
buses and trains is able to keep the environment green. In conclusion, public
transport offers you some major advantages as mentioned above. In my view, I
support using public transport because it is environmentally friendly.isadvantages
of using public/private transportation.
b) I'm going to talk about disadvantages of private transportation. Nowadays,
society develops, people's needs are increasing, along with more and more private
transport, which has led to many disadvantages. My presentation consisted of 3
main drawback. The first disadvantage of private transports is that it's
environmental pollution. It will increase the level of pollution such as air pollution,
land pollution and noise pollution in the city, causing many people to suffer from
respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases or maybe cancer. Not only that, the
consumption of fuel to drive cars is contributing to the increase in global warming
and affecting the ozone layer. The second disadvantages that I would like to
mention is very expensive cost. There are many costs associated with owning a car.
Other costs include insurance, road tax, MOT and servicing which all add up over
the course of a year. It is requiring extra cost to maintain and repair your car. Last
but not least, it will cause traffic jams, difficult travel and more importantly, it is
very easy to have an accident. According to statistics, every year, more very
patients are hospitalized due to traffic accidents. In conclusion, private transport
offers you some major disadvantages as mentioned above. I myself think that while
private transportation is a great option, it pollutes the environment. So we should
use public transport and limit the use of private vehicles.
9. Advantages and disadvantages of teamwork/working invidually
TEAMWORK
Advan:
Teamwork is the process of having two or more people working cooperatively and
collaboratively on a specific task. This is a very familiar learning method for
students. So what are the benefits and limitations of it? Let's find out together.
Talk about the benefits of teamwork First people will talk about the time to
complete the task. Teamwork will help members complete tasks more quickly than
individually. Because that big task will be divided into small jobs for each member.
And instead of one person having to manage all the exam tasks now each person
just needs to complete one of their small tasks. Therefore, teamwork will shorten
the completion time of the members. Second, teamwork creates brainstorming
opportunities. Since the work has been divided and assigned to each person,
everyone has to take responsibility to complete their tasks. Force members to
brainstorm and think to work. Therefore, this method is very effective in teaching.
Beside, working in groups will help poor students to work with good students. This
will help those students improve their understanding and knowledge because when
the students work together, they will help each other learn so that the whole group
can complete the task excellently.
In short, for the task to be completed quickly and excellently, teamwork is a perfect
choice. Therefore, this method is widely applied in all schools.
Disavan:
Teamwork is the process of having two or more people working cooperatively and
collaboratively on a specific task. There are many benefits, but teamwork also has
some limitations that we need to be aware of and overcome.
First, in the process of teamwork, there will be some individuals who depend on in
their group and do not think to work. there will always be some people who try to
take advantage of a team to get lost and do minimal work, not even work. Thus,
those members do not need to work but still have learning results because their
group has completed the task. This will make those students dependent. The
second, Teams can divide labor unequally in some situations. When an unequal
division of labor occurs within a team, then it might make it seem like one person
doing the most work is treated equally to the individual doing the least. When
everyone earns equal credit when only a couple of individuals are managing all of
the responsibilities, then it can adversely impact the unity and purpose of the team.
This disadvantage can also lead to some workers feeling annoyed and taken
advantage of. For individuals with low self-esteem and shyness, not being
encouraged to participate will make their opinions underestimated and they will
become even more self-deprecating, unwilling to contribute. This negatively
affects teamwork, becoming a major obstacle to their thinking.
To overcome these problem, unity among members is fist needed. Each person
need to be cissigned a certain and fair role so that every one can work together in
most effective way.
INDIVIDUAL WORK
Advan:
Working individually is a way to help us think independently and not depend on
anyone. So what are the benefits and limitation of this way of working, let’s find
out together bellow.
Talking about the benefits of individual work, first, people will mention helping
individuals to be more independent in the process of completing tasks. Thus,
individuals will learn how to manage tasks properly, how to manage time
effectively and how to build a plan to complete the task perfectly. Secondly, we
will not be influenced by the opinions of others but can confidently give our own
opinions and solve that problem according to our individual strength. This will help
us develop thinking, because it forces each of us to cultivate the necessary
knowledge to solve problems. In addition, individual work means that everyone has
to do it independently, without any division As well as competition. Everyone is
equal and has a responsibility to fulfill that task. Beside, since there is only one
person doing the job, one will find that things are more clear, as there is no
confusion. There will not be too many people to put in their ideas or thoughts on
how to complete the work properly. Lack of confusion also means better clarity for
the person to finish the work.
Because of these benefits, teachers often apply individual work in lessons with high
thinking. If we can apply this individual way of working in all our work, then
surely we can become a great leader.
Disadvan:
Individual work is a person who has to complete a certain task independently.
Aside from the advantage, there are some disadvantages.below are some of the
cons of working individual.
The fist is working individual will take a longer than working in group because
instead of doing a small division work, they have to do all that work to complete a
large task they are assigned. Individuals will take a long time to properly divide the
work and develop a plan to get the work done.
Second work individually will not receive any help from other members. They have
to do all the work themselves and take full responsibility for it. This will make it
difficult for those who are poor thinkers and do not know how to solve problems.
In addition, giving their own personal opinion without any help or advice also
makes shy people feel self-deprecating, not daring to give their own opinions.
Third, individual work will be limited in terms of ideas. While in group work
everyone gives their own ideas to make the project more diverse and creative,
individual work will only have one person's opinion. They will only have their own
limited ideas, Of course there will be inevitable shortcomings, lack of diversity.
In case, if the person is not able to complete the job on time or if one falls ill in
between job, there will not be anyone who can take up the job and complete it for
you. If in a group, someone else could take over for the person and do the job well.
However, since the person is working alone, that would not be possible.
To overcome these limitations, we need to practice independence, gradually get rid
of dependence on other people's opinions, learn how to manage time appropriately.
Only then will we be able to promote well when working individually.

10. Benefits of students’ working part – time while going to school

Working part-time jobs while in school is no stranger to students who like to be
independent. So what benefits does it have, let's find out together below.
First, working part time will help students become more independ, because they
can work to earn their own money without the help of their families. Some students
work to earn money to pay tuition fees, they want to help their parents relieve a part
of the economic burden and This is a sign of independence and maturity.
Second, working part-time while studying will help students learn how to manage
their time . Because those students also know how to arrange a reasonable time to
go to work, without affecting school attendance.
Besides, working part-time will also create many opportunities for students to learn
necessary life skills and work experiences. Especially students who are working for
companies or jobs related to their fields of study (such as accounting, teaching
assistants, tutors), they will be fostered with basic experience and knowledge.
writing about their future-oriented jobs, and creating job opportunities up to 99%
for students when they graduate.
Therefore, part-time work is gradually becoming popular among students who want
to earn extra income and be more independent in life.
