DẠNG 1: ADVANTAGE - DISADVANTAGE

Đề 1: In the past, most people worked for small businesses, while more
people now work for large businesses. What are the advantages and
disadvantages of working for large businesses?

Nowadays, people have a tendency to work for big companies. There are
both benefits and drawbacks of working for large business. In this essay, I will
discuss some reasons about this.
There are many advantages to working in big companies. They usually
have a better understanding of economic matters, which means that employees
are offered better salaries. Additionally, working in a big business provides
employees with better benefits such as sick leave, annual leave, and health care
insurance. Moreover, people could have opportunities to improve their abilities
and grow professionally.
In addition to the above benefits, several drawbacks do exist. This creates
some pressure on people when they work in big business. For examples, people
have to work overtime to finish deadlines due to the large amount of workload
which their companies require. This cause them to lack of sleep, headaches,
affecting their health very much. Furthermore, another disadvantage is a narrow
range of level and experience. Employees are to be assigned a specific type of
responsibility. In consequence, it is hard to have more experience and skill.
In conclusion, whatever the job is, when people work in large
corporations have also some advantages to people but there are some still
disadvantages which people have to face and resolve their problems.

Đề 1: Online learning
Nowaday, with the development of technology, online learning is
becoming more popular because it has many benefits. However, many people
think that it is also negative in some ways. This essay will discuss both
advantages and disadvantages of this way of learning.
On the one hand, learning online has many merits. First and foremost,
online learning is considered as a convenient way of learning. It enables
learners to have flexible learning hours; as a result, they can arrange time and
place to study at their convenience. In addition, it is very easy for them to take
overseas courses in another country and learn with the best teachers. The
second merit is that online learning is not only time-saving but also money-
saving. Because of not having to travel to classes, learners can save a great deal
of time and transportation costs. Also, they can take cheap or free online
courses because it is not necessary to rent equipment or classrooms. Last but
not least, e-learning allows a large number of learners to attend a course.
Online classes are easily accessible (dễ dàng tiếp cận) to a wide range (phạm vi
rộng) of learners, especially they are not limited to the number of students like
traditional classes.
On the other hand, there are numerous drawbacks of learning online.
The first one is that online learning can be harmful to people’s health. When
spending too much time using the Internet, people may get diseases such as
headache, overweight and so on. Furthermore, it causes reduced face-to-face
human interaction. In fact, students have fewer opportunities to discuss topics
with classmates or teachers directly, which has negative effects on their soft
skills such as communication skills and teamwork skills. The final demerits is
that students may easy get distracted (phân tâm) from their study. Many of
them tend to surf other websites such as Youtube, Facebook, etc. while learning,
which makes them not concentrate on study and get bad learning results.
In conclusion, online learning brings learners both benefits and
drawbacks. Learners should control the time they spend online suitable to learn
better.

Đề 2: Learning/studying abroad = learning/studying

overseas
Nowaday, more and more people have a tendency to move abroad to
study. Many people think that studying overseas brings students many benefits,
others believe that students have to face a lot of challenges. This essay will
discuss both sides of this trend.
On the one hand, studying abroad is beneficial to students in several
ways. First and foremost, foreign countries often provide students better
courses than their home country. Therefore, they can learn with better teachers
and more modern equipment. In addition, they can obtain an international
degree and have more chances to get a good job with a high salary. It also
means that they would have a higher standard of living in the future. Another
benefit is that students are able to develop independence. When living
overseas, they have to do everything on their own such as cooking, doing
housework and getting money. Therefore, they will become more mature
(trưởng thành) and gain more valuable skills (kĩ năng có giá trị). Last but not
least, students have more chances to broaden their knowledge and relationships.
They can make new friends and explore new destinations in a new country.
On the other hand, studying abroad has some drawbacks. The first one
is that living abroad causes homesickness. When living far from home, students
may feel lonely and bored, which affects their health badly and makes them not
focus/concentrate on study. Furthermore, learning foreign language is often
difficult, so if students do not speak the foreign language well, they cannot
communicate with other people. The final demerit is that studying abroad is
very expensive. Many students have to work part time to pay for living costs; as
a result, this causes a bad effect on the result of the final exam.
In conclusion, studying abroad has both merits and demerits. I believe
that people should be encouraged to study overseas to have a higher standard of
living in the future.

Đề 4: Homeschooling (giáo dục tại nhà)

Nowaday, homeschooling has become more and more popular in the
world. Many parents choose homeschooling for their children because it brings
them many benefits. However, this trend also causes several drawbacks. This
essay will discuss both advantages and disadvantages of this trend.
On the one hand, there are some plus points of homeschooling. First and
foremost, parents can decide children’s study program. They can have the
freedom to decide what, when and how children learn. Another benefit is that
homeschooling helps to improve the relationship between parents and children.
When parents teach children at home, they can spend more time enjoying life
together. As a result, they become close to each other.
On the other hand, schooling at home has several disadvantages. First of
all, parents need a lot of time and effort to do homeschooling. Clearly, they
have to spend much time preparing materials and lessons as well as teaching
children at home, so they can not go to work and do not get much money. They
also have to keep patient (giữ bình tĩnh) with their children in any case.
Furthermore, homeschooling badly affects children’s social life. When learning
at home, children do not have friends and do not take part in school activities.
Therefore, they cannot improve skills like social skills and communication
skills which are important for their future life.
To summarize, education at home brings people both merits and demerits.
Parents should consider homeschooling carefully to see whether it is suitable to
their children’s personality and abilities or not.

Đề 5: Extracurricular activities such as sport teams, special-interest club

and art groups are a vital element for student’s development.
Nowaday, more and more students tend to do a lot of extracurricular
activities besides learning school subjects. These activities bring them many
advantages, but they also contain drawbacks. This essay will discuss both sides
of doing outdoor activities.
On the one hand, there are advantages of joining outdoor activities.
Firstly, students can explore and develop their interests. For example, they can
do what they like such as dancing, singing and so on; therefore, they become
more confident. Besides, they can improve other skill such as managing time
and solving problems. Also, doing these activities helps students relax after
school. Secondly, extracurricular activities helps students improve their social
skills. When doing team sport such as volleyball and basketball, students can
communicate with more people and make more new friends. Hence, they can
broaden their relationship. Finally, outdoor activities improve student’s health.
Clearly, student become healthy and fit when playing sports.
On the other hand, extracurricular activities have various disadvantages.
First of all, it takes students a lot of time to do outdoor activities. Therefore, it is
difficult for them to arrange time for study and there activities suitably. Besides,
students may feel tired or stressed after doing these activities, which affects
their study and their health badly. The second drawback is that students have to
pay extra money for outdoor activities. For example, they have to pay tuition
fees for course and buy many things like equipment and clothes
In conclusion, although extracurricular activities have some bad points,
they are very good for the development of students. Students should balance
time between study and these activities to get the best results.
Đề 7: Public transport
Nowaday, more and more people choose to go by public transport. Many
people think that using public transport is good for them and the society;
however, it also brings them some drawbacks. My essay will describe both
advantages and disadvantages of public transport.
On the one hand, there are many benefits of using public transport.
Firstly, it helps to protect the environment. When more people use public
transport like bus and train instead of private vehicles, air pollution will be
reduced. This is also good for people’s health. Secondly, going by public
transport reduces traffic jams. If people choose to travel by public transport,
the number of private vehicles will decrease. Therefore, traffic jams and road
accidents will less happen and travelling will become easier. Finally, using
public transport helps people to save money. Bus fares and train tickets are
very cheap. For example, it costs only seven thousand dongs to buy a single bus
fare.
On the other hand, public transport has several disadvantages. First
of all, public transport has bad quality. For examples, the air conditioning
system does not work in some old buses; therefore, people may feel
uncomfortable. The second downside is that going by public transport is
unsafe. Because buses are often very crowded, people are easily stolen things
and money. Lastly, public transport is inconvenient. For example, sometimes
public transport like bus does not arrive on time, so people may go to school or
work late. This affects their study or work time badly.
In conclusion, there are both benefits and drawbacks of using public
transport. I personally think that the pros are more than the cons. Therefore, the
government should encourage people to use public transport.

Đề 8: Multitask
Multitasking is the ability to do many tasks at the same time. Many
people say that multitasking is useful for their work, however, others believe
that it has many bad points. My essay will discuss both advantages and
disadvantages of this skills.
On the one hand, there are many benefits of multitasking. First of all,
multitasking helps to increase efficiency. To be more specific (cụ thể hơn),
people can complete more task in less time; therefore, they can save a lot of
time to do many other things. Secondly, multitasking trains people’s minds. It
improves their mental focus because they have to concentrate on doing many
things at the same time. Moreover, they need to keep their brain active and
strong to complete all tasks well and face stress. Finally, multitasking helps
people to become more flexible because they can decide how and when to
complete each task suitably.
On the other hand, the drawbacks of multitasking are various. Firstly, it
decreases the quality of work. For example, when doing many things at the
same time, people easily make a lot of mistakes. Besides, they may sometimes
feel worried because of too much work; as a result, they cannot complete it
well. Moreover, multitasking is bad for people’s health. For example, having to
solve many problems at a time causes a lot of stress. Besides, people might feel
tired and bored to perform too many things at a time. Therefore, it is harmful to
both their mental and physical health
In conclusion, multitasking has both pros and cons. People should
consider multitasking if they can arrange time suitably

Đề 9: Public space like the parks and squares

Public spaces such as parks and squares are very important to people’s
life in cities. These spaces bring people several benefits such as improving their
health, social interation and knowledge about nature. This essay will discuss the
above advantages of public spaces.
First of all, public spaces are good for people’s health. For example, they
can join different outdoor activities in places such as parks or squares. Parks are
great places for everyone, especially old people to walk, do exercises, play
sports and enjoy the fresh air. Therefore, they can become healthier. Besides,
when doing activities and enjoying a green environment, people can feel relaxed
and comfortable after hard working hours.
Secondly, public spaces help people increase social interaction. When
coming to public places, people have more chances to meet up with their friends
and communicate with more new people. For example, when taking part in
social events like festivals, people become closer to each other and easily make
new friends. This also helps them broaden their relationship. Moreover, they
can improve social skills such as communication skill and sharing.
 Lastly, public spaces make people learn more aboun the nature. For
instance, people living in cities have opportunities to know more about animals
and plants when they go to the zoos and parks. When being close to the nature,
they are aware of its importance to their life. Therefore, they will try to protect
the environment.
To sum up, public spaces are good for people to improve their health,
their interaction with others and explore nature. The government should build
more public spaces to help people have a better life.

DẠNG 2: OPINION ESSAY

- Do you agree or disagree?
- To what extent do you agree or disagree?
- Is this a positive or negative development?
- How far do you agree or disagree?
- What are your view on this?

Đề 10: Learning foreign language: Write an essay to an

educated reader discuss what ages in your opinion are
more suitable to begin learning a foreign language.
These days, learning a foreign language has become more and more
important to everyone because of international business and study. Some people
think that it is essential (cần thiết) for children to begin learning a foreign
language at primary school while others believe it is better for students to start
learning it at secondary school. I totally agree with the first idea for some
reasons.
On the one hand, there are several advantages of kids starting learning a
foreign language at primary school. Younger children can learn fast. It is true
that kids can learn vocabulary and pronunciation of the language better than
older ones. Several studies show that at a young age, learners can copy things or
learn new things faster. Besides, they also feel less shy (ngại ngùng) to speak
the language; therefore, they can pronounce it more correctly and fluently.
However, the opponents (những người phản đối) argue (tranh cãi) that
beginning to learn a foreign language at an early age has several disadvantages.
Firstly, children have many subjects to learn such as their mother language,
science and art subjects. Therefore, learning a foreign language can be too hard
for them. Moreover, many people are afraid (e rằng) that children might get
confused (nhầm lẫn) with their native language. However, learning a foreign
language during childhood is a rather easy task as it contains many interesting
games and funny activities.
In conclusion, it is clear that starting learning a foreign language at
primary school brings children more benefits than drawbacks. Therefore,
children should be encouraged to start their foreign language learning at the
early ages of their life.

Đề 11: Some people believe that university students are required to attend
classes. Professionals view class attendance as an individual student
responsibility. However, many students want to be given the freedom to
decide which classes to attend. Therefore, going to classes should be
optional for students.
Class attendance is a debated (tranh luận) topic in education these days.
Many people say that students should be forced (bắt buộc) to attend all lessons
while others believe that going to class should be optional. In my opinion, class
attendance should be forced but some lessons are optional.
On the one hand, there are benefits of joining classes. First of all, students
can learn a lot from their teachers. Teachers can give students knowledge about
many aspects (khía cạnh) of life and help them understand subjects more
deeply. For example, they can explain the lessons in an easier way, give
examples and so on. Secondly, students can improve many skills when
attending classes. For example, when students work or discuss with their
classmates, they can improve soft skills such as group work skills and
communication skills. They can also make new friends and share problems with
each other. Therefore, they can understand the lessons more.
On the other hand, some lessons should be optional for students for some
reasons. Firstly, some students may be absent because they are sick or they have
some family matters. Besides, students are old enough (đủ lớn) to choose the
way they learn. For example, some students learn best in the library, in the
classroom or on the Internet. When they have freedom to choose the class they
want, they will feel more interested in learning and learn better. Finally, some
students want to have practical experience and they might take a part time job.
This is very good for their future job.
 In conclusion, students have to attend classes most of the time and can be
off school for some lessons for personal reasons.

Đề 13: Smoking should be banned?

Nowadays, more and more people, especially young people prefer
smoking. Many people think that smoking is bad for the health of both smokers
and people close by. I totally agree that smoking should be banned in public
places because of some following reasons.
The first reason is that smoking is not good for people’s health. cigarettes
constain a lot of toxic elements, so it causes a lot of diseases (bệnh) for
smokers. For example, lung (phổi) diseases, lung cancer and even death.
Besides, smoking affects non-smokers badly. For example, people around
smokers can get some diseases, especially children and pregnant women who
are easily affected by smoke. Moreover, most people feel uncomfortable when
being near smokers.
The second reason is that smoking is bad for the environment. Many
smokers throw (vứt) their cigarettes on the ground (đất) when smoking in public
places, so this makes the ground dirty. Besides, cigarette waste (chất thải từ
thuốc lá) pollutes the water and harms (gây hại) animals in the water. Also,
smoke is toxic and polluted, so it affects the air badly.
The final reason is that smokers set a bad example for children. When
children see an adult smoke, they can learn this wrong thing very quickly,
especially teenagers often learn to skome to show that they are cool. Therefore,
they have a bad habit and it is not good for their health.
In conclusion, smoking should not be allowed in public places because it
has a lot of disadvantages. I think that people should not smoke to be healthy
and live in a clean environment.

Đề 15: Opinion about satisfaction and high salary when

choosing a job.
Nowadays there are many factors for people to consider when they
choose a job. While some people think that job satisfaction is more essential =
important (thiết yếu) than a high salary, others do not think so. In my opinion,
both job satisfaction and high salary are equally important because of the
following reasons.
On the one hand, job satisfaction brings people many benefits. First of all,
people are in a good mood when working. When people can do a job they like,
they will concentrate more on their work. As a result, they can complete their
work better and achieve more goals in work. Another advantage is that
satisfaction in job makes people reduce stress. It is clear that some jobs are very
stressful and challenging, so if they are interested in their work, they will not
feel bored or stressed. Therefore, they will feel healthier and have a happier life.
On the other hand, high income is very important to people’s life because
of some causes. Firstly, people need a job with a high salary to pay for basic
costs of living. For example, they need money to pay for food, housing, bills
and so on. Moreover, they and their family can have a better life with a good
salary. For instance, they can get better healthcare services and their children
receive better education. This improves their quality of life. Finally, money
partly creates job satisfaction. When people earn more money, they feel more
pleased with their job
In conclusion, it depends on each person to choose job satisfaction or a
high salary when they apply for a job. I personally think that satisfaction is
more important because if people love their job, they will also earn more.

Đề 17: Nếu ý kiến về việc trẻ em có nên làm việc nhà ko?
Some people think that it is not necessary for children to cook or do
housework; however, others believe that they have to do these tasks when they
are able to do so. I totally agree with the latter idea because of some following
reasons.
First of all, doing housework helps children show their role (vai trò của
mình) in their family. It is true that every family member has their own duty
(nghĩa vụ riêng). When children do some tasks such as cleaning the house and
washing dishes, they can feel proud of (tự hào) finishing something and being a
part of their family. Besides, they become more responsible for their family.
Secondly, children can gain a lot of necessary skills to prepare for their
future life. For instance, they learn to care for themselves and family by
preparing meals and cleaning the house. Therefore, they become more mature
and independent. Moreover, they can improve personal skills such as
communication skills, group work skills when doing housework with family
members.
Finally, children doing housework helps their family become happier.
Most parents feel stressed and tired after hard working hours, so if children
share work with them, they will become happy and relaxed. Besides, parents
and children can spend more time and enjoy great moments together.
In conclusion, doing housework tasks is good for both children and their
family. Parents should give children tasks which are suitable with their age and
ability, and teach children how to do them.

DẠNG 3: DISCUSSION ESSAY

- Discuss both view and give your opinion

Đề 18: Video games

Negative effects of gaming, including addiction, depression and aggression.
Playing video games may boost children’s learning, problem-solving skills
and social skills. Discuss both view and give your opinion.
In recent years, playing video games has become a broad issue to
general public. Some people think that it is good for children’s learning and
developing many skills. However, the others believe that it also brings them a
lot of negative effects. In the following essay, both pros and cons of video games
will be analyzed in more detail.
On the one hand, there are several advantages of playing video
games. First of all, it helps children reduce stress after hard study at school.
When players play some interesting games and enter the online world, they can
feel relaxed and excited. Secondly, it improves children’s imagination and
creativity. While playing games, they have to try to solve problems, think
logically and become creative to get the highest point or win the games.
Finally, children can develop social skills. For example, children have a
chance to make new friends with other gamers and improve social relationship.
On the other hand, playing games has many disadvantages. The first
one is that it is bad for children’s health. When they play games for a long
time, they may get diseases such as headache, overweight and so on. Moreover,
video games distracts children from their study. They spend a lot of time
playing games, so they do not focus on study and may get bad marks. Lastly, it
affects their behaviors badly. There are violent actions in most games;
therefore, children might copy these bad things in their real life.
In conclusion, playing video games has both positive and negative sides.
In my opinion, the disadvantages of video games far outweigh the advantages.
People should have further considerations on this issue.

Đề 19: Quan điểm Tiếng Anh có thể và không thể thay thế
tiếng mẹ đẻ.
Nowadays English has become a global language. Many people think that
people should only learn English instead of their native language; however,
others believe that English will not replace the mother tongue. My essay will
discuss both views and give my personal opinion.
On the one hand, English should replace the native language because of
some reasons. First of all, English is widely used by both native and non-native
speakers all over the world. It is used as the first or second language in over 60
countries. Therefore, learning English is very important to communicate with
other people in the world. Secondly, English is used in many fields (lĩnh vực) of
life. For example, it is a communication tool for people in different cultures and
nations. Besides, it is a popular language in education, industries, technology
and so on. Therefore, learning English helps people gaim more knowledge and
become more successful in the futute.
On the other hand, English cannot replace the mother tongue due to some
causes. Firstly, the native languages is effective for communication among
native speakers. It helps them communicate with each other well. For example,
when travelling abroad, they can easily talk or make friends with people who
can say their first language. Moreover, the native language shows the culture
and history of a country. Because the origin of a native language is linked with
culture, it shows cultural identity of a country.
In conclusion, although English has special roles (vai trò đặc biệt) in
society, it cannot replace the native language. People should learn two language
at the same time to get their benefits.
DẠNG 4: PROBLEM-SOLUTION ESSAY
Đề 21: Ngày càng nhiều người muốn có con trễ, đặc biệt là ở những nước
phát triển. Một khảo sát cho thấy đa số phụ nữ Hoa Kỳ muốn có con sau 35
tuổi. Trình bày lý do, tác động và ví dụ cụ thể của xu hướng này.
In modern society, there are more and more people have a tendency to
become parents later. From my perspective, it gives more disadvantages than
advantages. In this essay I will discuss both sides of views.
On the one hand, there are two main point that people make a decision to
have babies later. Firstly, they have more time to enjoy their life when they are
young. It is understandable that when they have babies, most of time for
personal hobbies and passion usually decreases and instead they spend this time
raising their children. The second point is ensuring finance and support for their
children to live in a better condition. They want to focus on earning money until
they have strong finances enough to take responsibility for their children.
However, there are also a lot of drawbacks of having babies later to
family life and society. Firstly, having babies later might increased risk of
health problems for mother and the babies. In fact, it is hard for mothers over
the age 35 to ensure health to prenant. Because at that ages, the health and
physiology of women are not as good as when they were young. Therefore,
their babies being born may be less physically healthy (kém khỏa mạnh về thể
chất). In addition, the choice of having children later usually make an age gap
between two generations. This creates a barrier to unsdertand and communicate
with their children in parenting (nuôi dạy con cái).
In conclusion, there are some reasons why current people prefer to have
babies when being older, but I believe that this makes more negative than
positive impacts on family life. It seems to be that the negative are more than
positive. Everybody should consider carefully and make the right decision.

Đề 22: Computer (Technology) in education

Thanks to the ever-increasing use of technology, computers are being used
more and more in education. Some people say that this is a positive trend
because technology can benefit both teachers and students at the touch of a
button. There are others; however, who argue that it may deprive people of
real human interaction.
In recent years, technology in education has become a broad issue to
general public. Some people think that this trend is positive. However, the
others believe that it has several drawbacks. In the following essay, both pros
and cons of technology in education will be analyzed in more detail.
On the one hand, there are several advantages of technology in
education. First of all, learners and teachers can get a lot of information by
using the Internet. For example, students can look for information to improve
their knowledge or do their homeworks. Secondly, learners can take online
courses easily. It helps them save time and money. Besides, it is convenient
because they can learn every time and everywhere they want. Lastly, using
computers makes learners more interested in learning. Some teachers use
PowerPoint slides to make lessons more interesting.
On the other hand, using technology in education has some
disadvantages. The first one is that it decreases real human interaction. In
some online courses, students have less chance to discuss topics with classmates
or teachers directly; therefore, they do not improve their soft skills. Moreover,
using technology can distract students from their study. When spending too
much time using the internet, they do not focus on study and may get a bad
marks. Finally, learners can get wrong information on some websites. This
is because anyone can post information without being checked.
In conclusion, technology in education has both positive and negative
sides. In my opinion, the advantages of technology in education far outweigh
the disadvantages. People should have further considerations on this issue.

Đề 23: Căng thẳng STRESS

In recent years, more and more people face stress because of many
reasons. Stress has become a serious problem in modern life. This essay will
discuss effects of stress and suggest some solutions to this problem.
There are many bad consequences (hậu quả) of stress. First of all, stress
causes serious health problems. For example, people feel tired and have a
headache or skin problems. Therefore, they lack focus on everything and this
affects their work or study badlly. Secondly, stress has bad effects on people’s
behaviors. When feeling stressed, some people tend to have bad habits such as
using drugs or drinking alcohol. This is not good for their health. Besides, some
others become violent or easily get angry, so they may have bad actions. Lastly,
stress affects people’s relationships badly. Stressed people often do not want to
communicate with others, so they become less close to each other.
 This problem can be solved in many ways. Firstly, people should do
exercise regularly. For example, when joining some activities like playing
sports and going jogging, they can feel relaxed and comfortable after hard
working day. Moreover, people need to have a good diet. Eating healthy food
and drinking enough water help them have a good health to reduce stress. The
last solution is that they spend time relaxing. They should have a full sleep or
read their favorite books to relax their mind.
In conclusion, although effects of stress are serious, there are some steps
to manage it. Each person should have a good lifestyle to reduce stress in
modern life.

Đề 24: Internet addiction

One of the growing areas of concern is that of Internet addiction (Nghiện
Internet). An Internet addict is someone who is unable to control his or her
own use of the Internet and whose behaviours threatens his or her normal
life. Internet addiction can result in many problems including a lack of
sleep, bad performance at work or school or reduced family or social
interaction.

In recent years, Internet addiction has become a broad issue to general

public. The following essay will discuss the problems related to Internet
addiction and suggest solutions to improve the situation.
It is true that Internet addiction has many bad effects. First of all, it
is bad for children’s health. When using the Internet too much, people may
get diseases such as headache, overweight and so on. Secondly, the Internet
affects children’s study badly. For example, they spend a lot of time in the
internet instead of hard studying, so they do not focus on study and may get bad
marks. Finally, the Internet makes children spend less time with their
family and friends. As a result, they become less close to each other and even
do not have chances to improve social relationship.
There are several ways to solve Internet addiction. The first one is
that parents should limit children’s use of the Internet. They should
encourage children to do outdoor activities such as playing sports instead of
using the Internet. They can also set time limit for using the internet each day.
Moreover, schools should teach children about the disadvantages of
Internet addiction and how to use the Internet suitably. Lastly, children
should spend more time with friends and family. They can do many things
together. As a result, they can develop social skills and improve their
relationship.
In conclusion, there are many effects of Internet addiction. However,
parents, schools and children can take some actions to solve it. People should
have further considerations on this issue.

Đề 25: Obesity (béo phì)

In recent years, obesity has become a broad issue to general public. The
following essay will present the causes for this problem and suggest solutions to
improve the situation.
There are some causes of becoming obesity. One of the main reason is
that children have an unhealthy diet. Kids tend to enjoy eating a lot of fast
food and sugary drinks. Besides, parents are too busy to cook healthy meals.
Therefore, they might choose take away food. This is bad for children’s health
and children may get diseases such as overweight. The second reason is that
kids have an inactive lifestyle. For example, many children spend a lot of time
sitting in front of computers or TV and become too lazy to do exercise. Children
also like playing computer and mobile games or chatting online instead of
taking part in outdoor activities. This easily makes them become overweight.
There are several methods to solve this problem. The first solution is
that parents encourage children to have a healthy diet. For example, parents
should try to cook healthy meals at home so that children can limit eating fast
food and sugar. Besides, children could eat more fruits, vegetables and drink
more water to become healthier. The second solution is that children should
have an active lifestyle. Parents should encourage their children to go outdoor
to play sports, do exercise and take part in social activities which help them
keep fit and lose weight.
In conclusion, there are many causes of obesity. However, parents,
schools and children can take some actions to solve it. People should have
further considerations on this issue.

Nowadays more and more people want to travel around the world. This
trend is positive to many fields, especially tourism. This essay will discuss some
reasons for the rise in international travel.
The first reason is that travelling all over the world has become more
convenient. With the development of science, airlines provide safer airplanes
and more international flights for people. Besides, plane ticket become cheaper.
Therefore, more and more people can travel abroad than before. Moreover,
there are many websites providing information about places, people, food and
so on, so people can get information about trips and book flights easier.
Secondly, there is a rise on middle class income. In the past, people in
middle class had fewer chances to travel overseas, but now, because of the
development of economy, they can get more money to pay for international
travels. Besides, when the quality of life is higher, people find out some new
ways to spend some time and money. For example, travelling to famous
destinations in other countries is a common way.
The final reason is the growth in international trade (thương mại quốc tế).
In today’s world, many big companies tend to open their offices in different
countries. Therefore, when working for these companies, people have more
chances to travel abroad. For example, when I work in a multinational
company, I will go on business trips and also travel to many countries where my
company has an office.
In conclusion, there are some main reasons why international travel
becomes more popular. If the economy continues to grow, there will be more
and more people travelling abroad.

Đề 27: Youth Crime: Tội phạm vị thành niên

Nowadays, it is true that the youth crime rate is increasing very quickly
all over the world. Violent crime is very common among young people under
the age of 18. My essay will discuss some reasons for this problem and suggest
some measures to solve it.
There are some reasons for violent crime among youngsters. Firstly, the
young lack attention from their parents. Nowadays, most parents are too busy at
work to get money, so they do not have time to communicate with their children
and teach their children about good behaviors. Secondly, teachers do not care
about students’ social and emotional learning. In fact, tẻacher have to focus on
teaching school subjects such as Maths and Literature instead of helping them
know about qualities to become a good person. Therefore, they might be easily
involved in crime without the care of teachers. Finally, the young use social
media too much. They might see violent images or videos and play violent
games on the internet. As a result, they copy violent actions and do bad things
in real life.
This problem can be solved in some ways. Firstly, parents and teachers
care more about youngsters. They should spend more time teaching children
about which behaviors are good or bad. Besides, they should let them know
about the serious result of violence. Moreover, parent’s need to limit their
children's use of social media and control the content children see. The other
solution is that the government gives stricter punishments to violent criminals.
By doing so, fewer people will get involved in violent crime and the crime rate
in cociety can be reduced.
In conclusion, there are some causes of violent crime among young
people including the lack of attention from their parents and teachers, and the
use of social media. However, parents, teachers and the government could take
some actions to solve this problem.

Đề 29: Cách giúp các bạn trẻ phát triển kỹ năng cảm xúc và xã hội
(emotion skills and social skills)
It is true that many students find it hard to get a suitable job after leaving
university because they lack necessary skills such as communication, social and
emotional skills. My essay will suggest some measures to help young people
improve these skills.
First of all, the young should do many extracurricular activities. For
example, at high school or university, students can take part in some activities
such as playing team sports and joining a club. When doing these activities,
they can meet more new people and make new friends. This helps them to
develop social skills and broaden their relationship. Another example is to do
voluntary activities. When helping people in need, the young can feel
sympathetic (thông cảm) to those people. Learning sympathy is good for their
emotional development. Volunteering also connects them to others in the
community (cộng đồng) and improves their social skills.
Secondly, schools should organize soft skill training courses. When
attending these courses, students can learn different soft skills such as solving
problems, working in a team and so on. These soft skills are important for them
to get a good job with a high salary in the future. Moreover, joining a
communication skill course helps students improve their communication skills.
Therefore, they can know how to communicate with others at the workplace
well and increase the quality of work.
In conclusion, there are some ways for young people to develop
emotional and social skills. If they take these methods, they can easily get a
good job after graduating from university.

Đề 30: Nêu nguyên nhân và giải pháp hiện tượng chảy

máu chất xám.
In recent years, Brain drain has become a broad issue to general public.
The following essay will present the causes for this problem and suggest
solutions to improve the situation.
There are several reasons why educated and skilled workers move to
and stay in developed countries. One of the main reason is that developed
countries have better conditions. There are many modern facilities with high
quality for people to have a comfortable life there. The second reason for
brain drain is that people want to get higher education in developed
countries. Going to these countries, they can get better education and learn with
qualified teacher in famous universities. Finally, skilled workers have more
chances to develop their career in developed countries. For example, they
can work in big companies and get a good job with a high salary. As a result,
they can have a better life with their family.
There are several methods to solve this problem. The first solution is
that the government should invest in improving living conditions,
educations and so on to limit brain drain. For example, they open more
institutes for research and higher education. The second solution is that the
government could encourage companies to improve working conditions
and create more jobs for skilled workers. For example, skilled workers
should receive a fair salary according to their lever of skills and knowledge.
In conclusion, there are many reasons why highly educated people move
to other countries. However, the government can take some actions to solve it.
People should have further considerations on this issue.
Đề 10: nguyên nhân vì sao giới trẻ thích coi chương trình game show,
movies and comedies nhiều hơn so với education programs or news.
Nowadays, it is true that many people, especially the youngsters, tend to
choose entertained TV programs such as shows or sitcoms, so that other
informative or educational TV series which help people to gain knowledge are
decreased. There are many reasons for this trend and several measures should
be taken to improve the popularity of TV programs on education.
On the one hand, there are many reasons why youngsters choose to see
entertaining TV programs instead of educational programs. Firstly, people
consider TV as a way to reduce stress after a hard working day. For example, in
a TV show, which has the participation of celebrities or people with good sense
of humor can relax viewers’ brain as well as be attractive and emotional.
Besides, there are such shows on youtube in Viet Nam always go viral and get
top trending rather than educational programs. The second reason is that the
educational programs are designed for people with a higher level of education.
Some education programs required the audience to have certain background
knowledge or skills to be able to understand and absorb this knowledge; as a
result, people tend to be feel uncomfortable with such academic programs.
On the other hand, there are some solutions to improve the popularity of
TV programs on education. The first solution is that these educational programs
should be transformed into new formats in order to catch the concern of people.
For instance, educational programs usually provide knowledge one way, but
educational game shows allow players to discuss together and give questions to
professionals. The other measure is that inviting famous people like idols or
influencers to join education game shows to catch the attention of youngsters.
In conclusion, there are many reasons why youngsters choose entertained
TV programs instead of educational programs and several measures to catch the
attention of people could be taken place to turn around this situation.
Đề 11: opinon, children especially the girls do not to need know how to
cook and do house works.
In recent years, with the increasing participation of women in the
workforce, many families have resorted to hiring domestic workers or eating
out. However, this makes some people believe that children, particular girls, do
not need to learn to cook or do housework. Although I admit the convenience of
hiring helpers or eating out, I think children should be taught some basic life
skills for some reasons.
 Firstly, learning to cook and do housework is an essential life skill that
every child should acquire. It equips (trang bị) them the knowledge and ability
to take care of themselves and their homes. Children who grow up without these
skills may have difficulty when they leave home and move into their own
residences.
Secondly, cooking and doing housework provides an excellent
opportunity for parents to bond (gắn kết) with their children. These activities
can be fun and enjoyable, which allows parents to teach their children valuable
lessons about working hard and being responsible. These are qualities that will
serve children well throughout their lives.
Thirdly, by assigning housework to both boys and girls, parents can break
down gender and promote equality. When girls are expected to do all the
cooking and clearing, they may hold a belief (giữ 1 niềm tin) that these tasks are
solely a woman’s responsibility. Similarly, when boys are exempt from doing
housework, they may grow up believing that it is not their duty.
In conclusion, while hiring help or eating out may provide convenience,
parents must not forget their duty (nhiệm vụ) to teach their children essential
life skills. Learning to cook and do housework is very important for
independence, promoting family bonding, and breaking down gender.
Therefore, parents should teach their children to cook and do housework,
regardless of their gender (bất kể giới tính).
Đề 12: Advantages and disadvantage of building sky train
Sky train is one of the most modern transportations in Vietnam
nowadays. This has both advantages and disadvantages. In this essay, I will
discuss both views of this infrastructure (cơ sở hạ tầng) in terms of commuting.
On the one hand, there are numerous advantages of sky trains that should
be taken. Firstly, commuting by sky trains help solve the traffic jam in urban
areas (khu vực đô thị). When this kind of transport is applied, there will be a
number of travelers commuting by it, so it will reduce a large number of
vehicles in the cities. Moreover, commuting by trains is much faster than any
vehicle because they have their own overhead tubes (đường ống trên cao riêng).
This means commuters will not get stuck (mắc kẹt), especially in rush hour, so
they can save a lot of time. Another benefit of sky trains is that it does not cause
pollution. Because it does not release gas when operating, it will not do harm to
the environment.
On the other hand, there are a few disadvantages of sky train. One evident
drawback is the large cost it takes to build overhead tubes. Materials to
construct this infrastructure is expensive, so the government needs to spend a
large budget to build it. In addition, many people are worried about the safety of
the sky train when it has been operated in Vietnam before. They are afraid of
accidents that sky trains may cause.
In conclusion, sky train has both benefits and drawbacks but I think its
advantages are more than disadvantages. Therefore, this means of transportation
should be encouraged to be used for the present time.
