UNIT 6

1. Why preserving cultural heritage is important?

Good morning. Today, I would like to talk about why preserving cultural heritage is
important.

First of all, cultural heritage includes things like traditional music, costumes, cuisine, festivals,
historic buildings, and customs. These things reflect the identity and values of a country or a
community. When we preserve cultural heritage, we protect our history, our roots, and our
unique traditions. It helps us understand where we come from and what makes us special.

Secondly, cultural heritage plays a big role in education. When young people learn about their
culture, they gain a better understanding of their background. It also helps them become more
open-minded and respectful toward other cultures. Learning about traditions and festivals can
help students feel more connected to their nation and feel a sense of pride.

Another important reason is that cultural heritage supports tourism. Many tourists are interested
in visiting historical sites, museums, and traditional festivals. By preserving these places and
events, we can attract more visitors. This can bring economic benefits and create more job
opportunities for local people.

Moreover, cultural heritage helps to connect generations. For example, grandparents can share
stories and teach traditional customs to their grandchildren. This helps families stay close and
keeps the culture alive and meaningful.

However, nowadays, many traditions are at risk of being lost due to modern lifestyles and
technology. Young people often forget or ignore traditional values. That’s why it’s important to
take action. For instance, schools and communities can organize cultural activities, protect old
buildings, and encourage young people to learn traditional crafts.

In conclusion, cultural heritage is extremely valuable. It helps us remember the past, teaches us
important lessons, and brings people together. We should all do our part to protect and respect it,
so that future generations can also enjoy and learn from it.

Thank you very much for listening.

2. Think of a form of cultural heritage(such as tradition, a festival, or a form of music) and

discuss ways to preserve it
Good morning. Today, I would like to talk about a form of cultural heritage in Vietnam – the
traditional costume called the Ao Dai – and some ways we can preserve it.

The Ao Dai is a beautiful long dress, usually worn by Vietnamese women on special occasions
like Tet, weddings, or national ceremonies. It is a symbol of elegance, grace, and Vietnamese
identity. In the past, both men and women wore Ao Dai, but nowadays, it is more common for
women. Many people still wear it in schools, especially female students, and during festivals or
important events.
However, in modern life, the Ao Dai is not worn as often as before. Young people prefer casual
clothes like jeans and T-shirts. Because of this, the Ao Dai could slowly be forgotten if we don’t
do something.

So, what can we do to preserve this beautiful tradition?

First, schools should continue to encourage students to wear Ao Dai at least once a week or on
special school events. This helps young people feel proud of the tradition.

Second, we can organize fashion shows, Ao Dai festivals, or design competitions to make the Ao
Dai more popular and exciting, especially among young people. These events can also encourage
designers to create new, modern versions of the Ao Dai that still respect traditional values.

Third, social media can be a powerful tool. We can share pictures, videos, or short stories about
the Ao Dai on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok. When young people see others
wearing Ao Dai in creative or stylish ways, they may feel inspired to wear it too.

Finally, we should include more lessons about the history and meaning of the Ao Dai in school.
When students understand its cultural importance, they are more likely to respect and protect it.

In conclusion, the Ao Dai is not only a traditional costume – it is a symbol of Vietnamese beauty,
culture, and pride. If we take action now through education, media, and community events, we
can preserve this wonderful heritage for the future.

Thank you for listening

3. About problems and solutions in a tourist attraction in your neighborhood

Good morning. Today, I would like to talk about some problems and solutions at a famous
tourist attraction in my hometown – the Heroic Mother Statue in Tam Kỳ City.

This statue was built to honor Vietnamese heroic mothers, especially Mother Nguyễn Thị
Thứ, who lost many children and family members during the war. It is the largest mother
statue in Southeast Asia, and it is a meaningful place for both local people and tourists.

However, although this place is very special, there are still some problems that affect the visitor
experience.

First, one big problem is littering. Some visitors still throw trash on the ground, especially
during holidays when many people come. This makes the area look dirty and disrespectful to the
memory of heroic mothers. To solve this, we should put more trash bins around the site and
organize clean-up activities with the help of students and volunteers.

Second, there is not enough shade or resting areas for visitors. On hot days, it can be
uncomfortable for the elderly or children. I think the local government can build more benches,
trees, or small shelters to make the place more comfortable.
Third, the area around the statue is sometimes too quiet and not very attractive to young people.
To solve this, we can organize cultural events or historical exhibitions to help visitors learn
more about the lives of Vietnamese mothers and the local history.

Also, the signs and information boards are sometimes only in Vietnamese. To attract more
foreign visitors, we should add English translations or even audio guides to explain the
meaning of the statue clearly.

In conclusion, the Heroic Mother Statue is a very important place in Tam Kỳ. If we improve
small things like cleanliness, facilities, and information, we can make it more respectful and
interesting for everyone.

Thank you for listening.

4. About ways to preserve heritage sites

Good morning. Today, I want to talk about ways to preserve heritage sites. These places, such as
historical buildings, monuments, and natural landscapes, are important because they represent
our culture, history, and identity. It’s essential to protect them for future generations.

First, we need to do regular maintenance and restoration. Over time, weather and human
activity can damage these sites. For example, old temples or monuments might wear down.
Restoring them carefully can help keep their original beauty and make them safe for visitors.

Second, raising awareness is key. People need to understand the value of heritage sites.
Schools, museums, and local communities should organize programs to educate people about the
importance of preserving these places. The more people know, the more they will care about
protecting them.

Third, government protection is necessary. Governments should create laws to prevent damage
from construction, pollution, or over-tourism. They can also set up protected areas or grant
heritage status to special sites, which ensures they are safe from harm.

Fourth, we should encourage sustainable tourism. Too many tourists can harm heritage sites,
so it’s important to manage tourism well. Limiting the number of visitors and making sure
tourists follow the rules can help protect these places.

Lastly, we can use technology to help preserve heritage sites. 3D scanning and digital
photography can record details of a site, so if it’s damaged, we can restore it based on accurate
records.

In conclusion, preserving heritage sites is crucial for our culture and history. By maintaining
them, educating people, protecting them with laws, promoting responsible tourism, and using
technology, we can keep these sites safe for future generations.

Thank you for listening.

 UNIT 7

1.Some people believe that a college or university education should be available to all
students. Others believe that higher education should be available only to good students

In my opinion, higher education should be available to all students, not just good students. I
have a few reasons for this.

First of all, everyone has the right to learn. Education helps people to have more knowledge,
better jobs, and a better life. If we only allow good students to go to university, we are not giving
others a chance to improve. Some students may not be very good in high school, but they can do
well in university if they try hard.

Secondly, people learn in different ways. Not all good students get high grades, and not all bad
students are lazy. Some students are smart, but they may have family problems, health issues, or
other difficulties. If we give them a chance, they can still be successful in the future.

Another reason is that university is not only about studying. It is also a place to grow, make
friends, and learn life skills. Even if a student is not very good at studying, they can still learn
important things and become a useful person in society.

However, I also understand the other opinion. Some people think that only good students should
go to university because they work hard and have better skills. If we let everyone go, universities
may be too crowded or the quality of education may go down.

But I think we can solve this by having different types of universities or colleges. Some schools
can focus on academic subjects, while others can teach skills like cooking, repairing machines,
or designing. This way, every student can find a place to learn what they are good at.

In conclusion, I believe that higher education should be available to all students. Everyone
deserves a chance to learn and become better. We should help all students, not just the best ones,
because everyone can succeed in their own way.

Thank you for listening!

2.After you finish upper secondary school, which one do you choose: go to university or
vocational school?

Hello everyone,
Today I want to talk about my plan after finishing upper secondary school. I think I will choose
to go to university.

There are a few reasons why I choose university.

First, I want to get a good job in the future. Many companies require workers to have a
university degree. If I study at university, I will have more chances to find a good job with a
good salary.
Second, I want to learn more about the subject I love. At university, I can choose a major like
education, business, technology, or science. I love [insert your favorite subject here, for example:
English or biology], and I want to study it more deeply. I also want to do research or maybe
become a teacher in the future.

Third, I think university is a good place to meet new people and grow up. I will live away from
home, take care of myself, join clubs, and make new friends. These things help me become more
confident and independent.

However, I understand that vocational schools are also a good choice. They are usually shorter
and teach useful skills like cooking, repairing, or designing. Many people who go to vocational
school can find jobs quickly. But for me, I want to continue my academic study and learn more
knowledge, so university is a better choice.

In conclusion, after upper secondary school, I will go to university. I believe it will help me
have a better future, improve my knowledge, and grow as a person.

Thank you for listening!

3. "What do you want to do after graduating from high school?"

Hello everyone,
Today I’d like to share my plans for the future — more specifically, what I want to do after I
graduate from high school.

Personally, I plan to go to university. I believe that continuing my education will give me more
opportunities to achieve my goals. I want to gain deeper knowledge in the field I’m interested in
— for example, [insert your interest: English, IT, medicine, economics, etc.]. At university, I can
learn not only from books but also from real-life experiences, group projects, and internships.

Another reason I want to go to university is to become more independent. I want to live on my

own, manage my time and money, and learn how to solve problems by myself. I think this is an
important step in becoming a responsible adult.

After high school, I also want to take a short break before starting university. Maybe I will
travel with my family or spend more time with my friends. It’s important to relax and enjoy life
after many years of studying hard.

In the long term, I hope that university will help me find a job that I love and that allows me to
support my family. I want to work in a place where I can grow, learn more every day, and feel
proud of what I do.

Of course, I know that the future is not always easy to predict. Plans can change, and sometimes
life goes in a different direction. But for now, going to university is the path I choose, and I will
do my best to prepare for it.

In conclusion, after graduating from high school, I want to enter university, become more
independent, and start building my future step by step.
Thank you for listening!

4. The benefits of academic study & why I choose it

Hello everyone,
Today I’m going to talk about the benefits of academic study and explain why I personally
choose it.

First of all, academic study helps us gain deep knowledge about a subject. At university, we
don’t just learn the basic facts — we learn how to understand problems, think critically, and find
solutions. This kind of thinking is useful in many jobs and in everyday life.

Secondly, academic study teaches us important skills such as doing research, writing reports,
giving presentations, and working in teams. These skills are necessary for many careers,
especially if we want to work in fields like education, business, science, or technology.

Another benefit is that academic study gives us a better chance to get a good job. Many
companies require employees to have a university degree. With a degree, we can apply for
higher-level positions and receive a better salary.

Also, academic study helps us become more independent and responsible. When we study at
university, we have to manage our own time, plan our work, and take care of ourselves. This
helps us grow as a person and prepare for real life.

Besides that, I think university life is also a great experience. We meet new people, join clubs,
and maybe even study abroad. These things help us open our minds and understand more about
the world.

That’s why I choose academic study. I believe it can help me follow my passion, achieve my
goals, and build a better future for myself and my family. I know it may be hard sometimes, but
I’m ready to work hard for it.

In conclusion, academic study brings many benefits: it gives us knowledge, skills, better job
opportunities, and personal growth. That’s why I choose this path after high school.

Thank you for listening!

5.The benefits of vocational study & why I choose it

Hello everyone,
Today, I’d like to talk about the benefits of vocational education and explain why I choose
this path after high school.

First, vocational education focuses on practical, hands-on training. Instead of only studying
theories, students learn real-world skills that are directly applicable to specific jobs. For example,
if you want to become a mechanic, chef, or electrician, vocational schools provide the exact
training needed for those careers.
Second, vocational programs are usually shorter and more affordable than traditional
university degrees. Most programs take between six months to two years to complete, allowing
students to enter the workforce sooner and start earning money. This can be especially helpful
for those who want to avoid large student debts .

Another benefit is that vocational education often leads to high-demand and well-paying jobs.
Many industries, like healthcare, technology, and skilled trades, are looking for trained
professionals. Graduates from vocational schools are often job-ready and can find employment
quickly .

Additionally, vocational education provides targeted career preparation. The curriculum is

designed to meet the needs of specific industries, ensuring that students acquire the competencies
required to excel in their chosen fields .

Now, let me share why I personally choose vocational education. I have a strong interest in
[insert your chosen field, e.g., culinary arts, automotive technology, graphic design], and I want
to start working in this field as soon as possible. Vocational training offers me the opportunity to
gain the necessary skills and experience in a shorter time frame.

Moreover, I prefer a learning environment that emphasizes practical application over

theoretical study. Vocational schools provide a more hands-on approach, which suits my learning
style better.

In conclusion, vocational education offers numerous benefits: practical training, shorter and cost-
effective programs, high employability, and targeted career preparation. For these reasons, I
believe it's the right choice for me after high school.

Thank you for listening!

6. Disadvantages of university (academic) education

Hello everyone,
Today I’m going to talk about some disadvantages or negative sides of university education.
Although academic study brings many benefits, it also has some problems that we should think
about.

First of all, university education can be very expensive. In many countries, students have to pay
a lot of money for tuition fees, books, and living costs. Some families cannot afford this, and
many students have to take loans, which they have to pay back for many years after graduation.

Second, academic study takes a long time. Most university programs last from three to five
years. During that time, students don’t earn money and may become dependent on their families.
Meanwhile, students who go to vocational school can finish earlier and start working sooner.

Another problem is that some students don’t find a job after university. Even with a degree, it
can be hard to get a good job, especially if their major is not in high demand. This can be very
stressful, and some people feel disappointed or even regret choosing academic study.
Also, university focuses more on theory than practice. Some students graduate with a lot of
knowledge but not many real-life skills. This can make it difficult for them to adapt to the
working environment, where practical experience is very important.

Finally, some students feel lost or unmotivated at university. Without proper support or
guidance, they may not know what they really want to do, or they may struggle to keep up with
the lessons. This can lead to stress, pressure, or even dropping out.

In conclusion, university education is not always the best choice for everyone. It can be
expensive, time-consuming, and not always useful if the student is unsure about their path.
That’s why it’s important to think carefully before choosing academic study.

Thank you for listening!

7. Disadvantages of vocational study

Hello everyone,
Today I’d like to talk about some disadvantages of vocational study. Although vocational
education has many good points, it also has a few limitations that we should think about.

First of all, vocational training often focuses on one specific skill or job. This can be a problem
if the job market changes. For example, if someone trains to become a certain type of technician
and that job is no longer needed in the future, it may be hard for them to switch careers.
Academic students usually have more general knowledge, so they can change jobs more easily.

Secondly, vocational qualifications may be seen as less valuable than university degrees in some
places. Some people still believe that academic study is better or more respected. Because of this,
vocational graduates might not get the same salary or promotion opportunities as university
graduates.

Another disadvantage is that vocational schools may not teach many theoretical or soft skills
like critical thinking, writing, or advanced communication. These skills are important if someone
wants to become a manager, start a business, or work in a job that requires more than just
technical skills.

Also, vocational study is sometimes limited in career growth. Many vocational jobs are at the
entry level. If someone wants to move up to a higher position, they may need more training or
even go back to university later.

Finally, some vocational programs may not have enough modern equipment or good teachers,
especially in small schools or rural areas. This can affect the quality of learning and make it
harder for students to compete in the job market.

In conclusion, while vocational education is very practical and useful, it also has some
disadvantages, such as limited career options, less flexibility, and lower social recognition in
some cases. It’s important to think carefully and choose the path that fits your goals and
strengths best.
Thank you for listening!

UNIT 8

1.Daily tasks

Today, I’m going to talk about my daily tasks and how they help me become more
independent.

I believe that doing daily tasks is important for becoming independent, especially when you start
living on your own. In the morning, I wake up at around 6:30 a.m. and the first thing I do is
make my bed. This small task helps me feel organized and ready to start the day. After that, I
brush my teeth, take a shower, and prepare my breakfast. I usually make simple meals like toast
with eggs or oatmeal. Cooking my own meals not only saves time but also teaches me how to be
self-sufficient.

Once I’ve had breakfast, I pack my bag for school, making sure I have everything I need: books,
laptop, and notes. Preparing ahead like this helps me stay organized and reduces stress. When I
get home from school, I focus on my homework. I try to finish it early so I can relax later. Time
management is crucial to being independent, so I follow a schedule to stay on top of things.

In the evening, I help my family with household tasks like washing dishes or cleaning the
kitchen. These chores teach me responsibility and help me contribute to the household. Even
though I enjoy doing things on my own, I’ve learned that being independent doesn’t mean doing
everything alone. It’s about working together with others when needed.

Before bed, I take some time to relax and prepare for the next day. I organize my clothes and
check my schedule so I’m ready for the morning. This small routine helps me feel in control and
calm.

In conclusion, doing daily tasks is a key part of becoming independent. From waking up early to
managing my time and helping around the house, these tasks help me develop important life
skills. I believe that the more I practice these habits, the more capable and confident I will be in
handling life’s challenges.

Thank you for listening!

2. Choose a life skill teenagers need to develop in order to become independent

Today, I’d like to talk about an important life skill that teenagers need to develop in order to
become independent: time management.

As teenagers, we often face many different responsibilities like school, family, hobbies, and
social activities. If we don’t learn to manage our time properly, it can be very easy to feel
overwhelmed and stressed. Managing our time well is not just about getting things done; it’s
about achieving a balance between all areas of our lives. And that’s why time management is a
key skill for independence.

One of the main benefits of time management is that it helps us become more responsible. When
we plan out our day and prioritize tasks, we take responsibility for our actions. For example,
when I have a big project or assignment, I break it down into smaller steps and set aside specific
time each day to work on it. By doing this, I avoid rushing at the last minute and make sure
everything is finished on time. It also keeps me from feeling stressed or anxious because I know
I’m managing my time effectively.

Another important reason why time management is essential for independence is that it allows us
to make time for self-care. Many teenagers are so busy with school and other activities that they
forget to take care of themselves. However, managing our time well gives us the chance to rest,
exercise, and spend time doing things we enjoy. For example, I make sure to set aside time in my
schedule for exercise, whether it’s going for a walk or doing some yoga. This helps me stay
healthy and also makes me feel refreshed and ready to tackle other tasks.

Good time management also gives us freedom. When we have control over our time, we can
decide what we want to do with it. This includes making time for things we’re passionate about
or spending time with friends and family. This kind of freedom is empowering because it makes
us feel like we are in control of our lives. By organizing our day, we create more opportunities to
enjoy life without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.

Time management also helps with decision-making. When you manage your time well, you
become more confident in your ability to make good choices because you’re not constantly
rushing to finish tasks or worrying about what’s next. For example, if you have a test coming up,
you can choose to spend more time studying the subjects you find difficult, knowing that you’ve
planned your time wisely.

In conclusion, time management is an essential life skill for teenagers who want to become
independent. It helps us stay responsible, allows for self-care, gives us freedom, and helps us
make better decisions. By practicing good time management, we can lead a balanced and
successful life while preparing for the challenges of adulthood.

Thank you for listening!

3. Pros and cons of self-study

Hello everyone,
Today, I want to talk about self-study and discuss the pros and cons of learning on your own.

Let’s begin with the pros.

First of all, one of the biggest advantages of self-study is that it gives you flexibility. When you
study by yourself, you can decide when and where to study. This means you can choose a time
that works best for you, whether it’s early in the morning, late at night, or during the weekend.
You can also study in a place that makes you feel comfortable, whether it’s at home, in a library,
or in a café.
Another major benefit of self-study is that it helps you become independent. When you study on
your own, you take full responsibility for your learning. You have to plan your study schedule,
find resources, and solve problems without much help from others. This encourages you to
develop problem-solving skills and become more self-disciplined.

Self-study also allows you to learn at your own pace. In a traditional classroom, everyone
follows the same schedule and moves at the same speed. But when you study alone, you can
spend more time on the topics you find difficult and skip over things you already know. This
means you can focus on your own strengths and weaknesses, making your learning more
effective.

However, self-study also has some cons.

One of the main drawbacks is that it can be isolating. When you study by yourself, you may
miss out on the opportunity to discuss ideas and share knowledge with others. Group discussions
and interactions with teachers can help you understand difficult concepts better, but self-study
can sometimes feel lonely because you don’t have the same support system.

Another downside of self-study is that it requires strong self-discipline. Without a teacher or

classmates to motivate you, it can be easy to procrastinate or get distracted. You might find it
difficult to stay focused on your studies without a structured routine or deadlines. This is
especially true if you don’t have good time management skills or if you’re easily distracted by
social media or other activities.

Additionally, self-study can be less effective for some people. Some subjects or skills may
require more direct guidance and explanation, which self-study can’t always provide. For
example, practical subjects like science experiments or languages with complex grammar might
be harder to learn alone without hands-on practice or feedback from experts.

Finally, self-study can sometimes lead to lack of motivation. When you study by yourself, it’s
easy to lose interest or feel discouraged if you don’t see immediate progress. This is something
you might avoid in a classroom setting where the teacher provides encouragement and rewards
for achievements.

In conclusion, self-study has both pros and cons. On the positive side, it offers flexibility,
independence, and the ability to learn at your own pace. However, it can be isolating, requires
strong discipline, and might not be the best method for everyone, especially for subjects that
need direct guidance. To make the most of self-study, it’s important to stay motivated, set clear
goals, and know when to seek help when needed.

Thank you for listening!

4. The pros of being independent

Hi everyone,
Today, I’d like to talk about the benefits of being independent, especially for teenagers.

First, when you are independent, you learn how to make your own decisions. For example,
instead of asking your parents what to do every time, you start thinking for yourself. You learn to
choose what’s best for you – like managing your time, choosing your subjects, or planning your
future. This helps you become more confident and responsible.

Second, being independent helps you solve problems on your own. Life is full of challenges –
big and small. If you can’t always rely on others, you need to find solutions yourself. This makes
you stronger and more creative. For instance, if you forget your homework, you’ll learn how to
fix it without waiting for help.

Third, independence gives you a sense of freedom. You don’t need someone to tell you what to
do all the time. You can do things your way – like organizing your study schedule or doing daily
tasks like cooking or shopping. You feel proud when you can take care of yourself.

Another benefit is that independent people often have better self-discipline. They know how to
manage their time and set goals. For example, if you are independent, you might create your own
study plan and follow it without needing a teacher to remind you. This skill is very useful not
only at school but also in the future when you have a job.

Also, independence helps improve your self-confidence. When you do things on your own and
succeed, you feel more capable and sure about yourself. Even when you fail, you learn from your
mistakes and try again. Over time, you trust yourself more.

In conclusion, being independent has many advantages. It helps you make decisions, solve
problems, manage your time, and build confidence. It also prepares you for adult life, where you
will need to take care of yourself. That’s why I think every teenager should learn how to become
more independent, step by step.

Thank you for listening!

5. About life skills you need to be independent,

Hi everyone,
Today, I’d like to talk about some important life skills we need to become independent.

First of all, I think one of the most important skills is time management. When you can manage
your time well, you can plan your day, do your homework, help your family, and still have time
to relax. For example, if you have a test next week, you can create a study plan and prepare step
by step. This skill helps you become more organized and less stressed.

Second, we need decision-making skills. Independent people must make their own choices,
from small ones like what to wear, to big ones like what career to choose. If you can think
carefully and choose the best option for yourself, you become more confident and responsible.
Sometimes, making decisions can be hard, but it helps you grow.

Another very important life skill is communication. Even when you are independent, you still
need to work with others – like friends, teachers, family or later, your co-workers. If you can
share your ideas clearly and listen to others, you can solve problems, avoid conflicts, and build
good relationships. Good communication is not only about speaking, but also about listening and
understanding people.
We also need financial skills. When you start living on your own, you need to know how to
manage money. That means saving money, not spending too much, and planning your budget.
For example, if you get a part-time job or pocket money, you should know how to use it wisely.
This helps you avoid money problems in the future.

In addition, self-care skills are important. Being independent means you have to take care of
your health and well-being. You need to know how to cook simple meals, clean your room, and
take care of your body and mind. These small things help you stay healthy and happy.

Finally, we need problem-solving skills. Life is not always easy. Sometimes, things don’t go as
planned. If you can stay calm, think clearly, and find solutions, you will become stronger and
more confident. For example, if you miss a bus or forget your homework, don’t panic – just think
of a way to fix it.

To sum up, there are many life skills we need to become independent. Some of the most
important are time management, decision-making, communication, financial skills, self-care, and
problem-solving. These skills help us take care of ourselves, make good choices, and be ready
for adult life.

Thank you for listening!

UNIT 9

1. The impact of social issues on teenagers

Hi everyone,
Today, I’d like to talk about some social issues that affect teenagers. These are problems in
society that can have a strong impact on our mental health, emotions, or daily lives.

The first issue I want to mention is peer pressure. Many teenagers want to fit in with their
friends, so they sometimes do things they don’t really want to do – like skipping class, smoking,
or using social media too much. Peer pressure can make teenagers feel stressed, anxious, or even
change their behavior in a negative way. I think it's important to learn how to say “no” and be
confident in our own choices.

Another serious issue is bullying, both in school and online. Cyberbullying, for example,
happens when someone receives mean messages or is embarrassed on social media. This can
hurt someone’s feelings, damage their confidence, and even lead to depression. Teenagers who
are bullied may feel afraid to go to school or talk to others.

Academic pressure is also a big problem for many teens. Parents and teachers often expect high
results, and students feel they must study all the time. This can cause stress, poor sleep, and
even burnout. I think it’s important to balance studying with relaxing and enjoying hobbies.

One more issue is family problems. Some teenagers live in homes where parents argue a lot, or
where there is not enough support or love. This can make them feel lonely, angry, or hopeless. It
also affects their performance in school and their behavior with others.
Finally, I want to talk about social media addiction. Many teenagers spend hours on TikTok,
Instagram or YouTube every day. While social media can be fun, using it too much can cause
problems. Teenagers may compare themselves to others and feel unhappy with their appearance
or life. It can also reduce time for studying, sleeping, or real-life relationships.

So, in conclusion, there are many social issues that affect teenagers today – like peer pressure,
bullying, academic stress, family problems, and social media addiction. These issues can impact
our mental and physical health. I think we should talk more about these problems, support each
other, and ask for help when needed. Being aware is the first step to solving them.

Thank you for listening!

2. Ways to use the Internet safely for teenagers

Hi everyone,
Today I’d like to talk about how teenagers can use the Internet safely. The Internet is very
useful – we use it for studying, entertainment, and talking with friends. But if we are not careful,
it can also be dangerous.

First, teenagers should protect their personal information. That means never sharing private
things like home address, phone number, school name, or passwords online. On social media, it's
better to keep your profile private, so only your friends can see your posts.

Second, be careful when talking to strangers online. Sometimes, people pretend to be someone
else. They may ask for personal info or send bad messages. Teenagers should never meet online
friends in real life without telling parents or a trusted adult.

Another important way to stay safe is to think before posting. Once you post something, it can
stay online forever, even if you delete it later. So before sharing photos, videos or opinions, ask
yourself: “Is this okay if my teacher or parents see it?” It’s always better to post kind, respectful
content.

Next, teenagers should learn how to recognize fake news and scams. Not everything on the
Internet is true. If you see strange ads, emails offering free money, or websites asking for your
info, be careful – they might be scams. Use trusted websites and double-check information.

Also, spending too much time online can affect your health. Teenagers should learn to balance
screen time and real life. For example, don’t use your phone all day. Take breaks, go outside,
play sports, or talk to people in real life. It helps your mind stay healthy.

Finally, if you ever feel unsafe or receive something strange or scary online, talk to an adult
you trust – like your parents, teachers, or school counselor. Don’t try to deal with it alone.
Adults can help you handle the situation safely.

In conclusion, the Internet is an amazing tool, but we must use it wisely. To stay safe, teenagers
should protect personal information, avoid talking to strangers, think before posting, watch out
for fake news, manage screen time, and ask for help when needed. If we do these things, we can
enjoy the Internet without danger.

3. "Share your ideas about anti-bullying at your school

Hi everyone,
Today I’d like to share my ideas about how to prevent bullying at school. Bullying is a serious
problem. It can hurt students emotionally, mentally, and even physically. So, I think we need to
work together to create a safe and friendly school environment.

First, I think schools should have clear rules about bullying. Students need to know what
bullying is – for example, making fun of someone, spreading rumors, pushing, or cyberbullying
online. The school should explain that bullying is not okay and will have consequences. These
rules should be shown on posters or talked about in class.

Second, we can organize anti-bullying campaigns. For example, we can have a “No Bullying
Week” where students wear the same color, make posters, or write messages to support victims.
We can also perform short plays to show how bullying hurts people and how we can stop it.

Another good idea is to create a student support team. These students can help others who are
being bullied. They can listen, give advice, and tell teachers if the problem is serious. When
students support each other, it makes the school a safer place.

Also, I think schools should teach students about empathy and kindness. This can be done in
class, during club activities, or through games. When we understand other people’s feelings, we
are less likely to bully them. We should learn to accept differences in appearance, background, or
personality.

Cyberbullying is also common now, so we need to teach students how to stay safe online and
how to report online bullying. If someone receives a mean comment or message, they should
save it, block the sender, and tell a teacher or parent.

Finally, teachers and parents need to work together. They should listen to students and notice
signs of bullying, like when someone becomes quiet or scared. When adults pay attention, it’s
easier to stop bullying early.

In conclusion, bullying is a big problem, but we can stop it if we work together. We need clear
rules, student support, kindness education, and more communication. I hope our school becomes
a place where everyone feels safe, happy, and respected.

Thank you for listening!

4.How does body shaming affect students

Hi everyone,
Today, I’d like to talk about how body shaming affects students. Body shaming means
criticizing or making fun of someone’s appearance, like their weight, height, skin color, or
body shape. It happens a lot at school, especially among teenagers. Even small jokes or
comments can hurt someone deeply.
First of all, body shaming can make students feel bad about themselves. When someone says,
“You’re too fat” or “You look weird,” the student may feel embarrassed or ashamed. They start
to believe that they are not good enough or not beautiful. This can hurt their self-confidence.

Second, body shaming can cause stress, anxiety, and even depression. Some students become
afraid to go to school or talk to others. They may feel lonely, avoid social activities, or cry in
secret. If this continues for a long time, it can seriously affect their mental health.

Another problem is that students who are body shamed may try to change their body in
unhealthy ways. For example, some may stop eating to lose weight quickly, or take strange diet
pills they see online. These actions are very dangerous and can lead to eating disorders like
anorexia or bulimia.

Also, when students feel ashamed of their body, they may stop doing the things they love. For
example, they may quit dancing, swimming, or even speaking in public because they are afraid
people will judge their looks. This stops them from growing and enjoying life.

Besides, body shaming can create a toxic school environment. When students make fun of
others, it spreads negativity. Others may laugh or stay silent, and the person being hurt may feel
like nobody cares. This makes school feel like a scary place instead of a safe one.

In conclusion, body shaming has many bad effects on students. It can damage their confidence,
mental health, physical health, and relationships. I believe we should respect all body types and
learn to be kind with our words. Everyone is different, and that’s what makes us special.

Thank you for listening!

5. A proposal against cyberbullying

Hi everyone,
Today, I want to talk about how we can prevent cyberbullying in our school. Cyberbullying is
a serious issue where someone uses the internet to hurt or embarrass others. This can include
spreading rumors, posting mean comments, or sharing embarrassing photos. It can affect the
mental health of students, making them feel sad, anxious, or even depressed.

To address this issue, I suggest we do a few things. First, we should raise awareness about the
effects of cyberbullying. Many students may not realize how harmful their actions online can be.
We can have workshops or discussions in class to help students understand the importance of
being kind online and how to recognize bullying.

Second, we need to create a safe and easy way to report cyberbullying. Students should be
able to report bullying anonymously, without fear of retaliation. This could be done through an
online form or email. If students know that they can report bullying safely, they might feel more
comfortable speaking up.

We also need to involve parents and teachers in this process. Parents should know how to
monitor their children’s online activities, and teachers should be trained to recognize signs of
bullying. This way, we can have a support system both at school and at home.
Lastly, we should promote kindness. We can have campaigns encouraging students to be kind
and respectful online. When we focus on kindness, we create a safer environment for everyone.

In conclusion, by raising awareness, creating safe reporting systems, involving parents and
teachers, and promoting kindness, we can reduce cyberbullying in our school. I hope everyone
will help make this change. Thank you for listening!
