Bài làm :

In today’s world, television is the main source of entertainment and is a necessity of life like

meals, clothing, and home. Watching time gradually increases and people become addicted

to it after all. People, those watch television more than 30 hours a week, are considered

television addicts by some psychologists. However, television abuse and addiction may cause

numerous harmful consequences in our health and life style as follows.

The first and the most dangerous effect of watching too much of television is mass physical

degradation in society. People, who spend hours and hours in front of the television, are

under very high risk of diabetes and obesity. While watching television, people usually

consume a lot of fast food and fizzy drinks with high calorie and out of doing exercise. A

recent research study conducted at the Harvard School of Public Health indicates that

watching too much television can significantly increase the risk of developing obesity and

type 2 diabetes.

In addition, another adverse effect, which can be caused by television addiction, is related to

possible mental disorders or depression. After hours of watching television, most people fall

in constant feeling of tiresome and weariness. Some researches show that through bringing

the effects of relaxation into their minds, television actually disturbs human brain and makes

it tired even within the first minutes of television watching session. Moreover, watching

television for long time has been linked to depression. This depression may prevent people

from being able to stop watching television as they may feel miserable when they are stopped

from watching. Thus, a cycle of depression and television addiction is developed.

Other problem of those people, who addict television, is lack of concentration, insomnia,

restlessness, negative thoughts, etc. Watching television steals a lot of free time for activities

they might find more usefulness, namely talking to friends and family, traveling, playing

sports, or joining a political or community group. Besides, television addiction may affect

children by the negative sides of watching television such as violence or sexual abuse which

lead to failures in schools, slow-down in intellectual development, lack of social skills, etc.

Many people are out of controlling their direction since they watch all programs and channels

that they see.It can result in wrong perception of the life and its realities.

To conclude, the problem with television addiction is that it might not appear as dangerous as

nicotine or drug addiction but when taking a deeper look, people will find out numerous

damaging impacts on their life namely health problem, cognitive ability and emotional

problem.

WRITING TASK 23

Television plays a major part in the majority of people’s lives; soap operas, sports programs, music

programs, everyone has their favorites.Television addict may show some of the following symptoms.

They may not be selective in what they watch; in other words, they will watch anything. They may

feel a loss of control when viewing. They may feel angry with themselves for watching so much, but

are not able to stop watching, and they may feel miserable when they are stopped from watching. In

my opinion, if we limit the amount of television we watch, we can also enjoy our free time.

Television in some ways is a device that allows the viewer to relate to what is happening on the

screen. We choose our favorite music from videos, get news, watch our preferred football teams,

connect to the characters in the family drama and watch educational documentaries. We discuss our

preferences with friends and co-workers when we talk to them so it can be said that TV enriches our

emotional and cultural selves.

On the other hand, television has negative effects on the body, as well as social interaction. Doctors

tell us that too much time sat down can lead to weight gain and heart disease and if we are sitting in

front of the TV all the time it means we are not going out to meet our friends. I believe, if we watch

television in moderation, we can enjoy our favorite programs as well as have an active social life.

In conclusion, watching television can take up a lot of spare time which could be used for social or

leisure activities. As a child, my parents insisted that I only watched one or two programs a night.

Today I captain my local football team and enjoy talking about the previous week’s programming

after a match on Saturday. It is my opinion that, if we sit at home all the time watching television and

do not go out, then it will have an unhealthy effect on our bodies, minds and friendships. However, if

we regulate how much we watch and get on with other things, then TV can be an important part of our

social lives.

Bài làm 3:

Television addicts exist everywhere. Those people watch television on daily basis

for three hours or more and sometimes have to drop important activities just to be

able to watch television for few more hours. The dangers of television addiction are

really bigger than what you could imagine and the following few examples will

show you what television addiction can do to your life.

Firstly, it Programs your mind. Just as watching Jackie Chan’s movie programmed my

mind the movies that you watch will program your mind too whether you want or not.

Watch a lot of drama and you will become a cry boy, watch a lot of action movies and

you might become violent or watch a lot of horror movies and you might start to

believe in ghosts.

Secondly, it Changes your beliefs about life : Why do so many people want to get rich

in two weeks? Why are keywords such as “How to become a billionaire over night”

are among the popular search keywords? Why do people feel really bad when they

get rejected for the first time?? Movies have taught us that good guys fail, face

Thirdly, accessibility of public transportation is good in large cities so that we would not worry about waiting for long hours. It could save time by using public transportation, because private transportation, such as cars need time to find a parking space. Comparing with the cars, trains, buses, and airplanes usually have the better accessibility in major cities in the world. Therefore, we should use the public transportation if we want to have good accessibility.

In conclusion, we should use public transportation, because it is good for environment, it is cheap, and it has better accessibility. We might spend for other things, such as gifts or services by saving the cost of transportation.

Bài làm 2: While some people choose to use public transportations, others prefer to use their own cars. It is believed that the excessive usage of personal cars has caused congestion problems in big cities and therefore people should use public transportations more often. However, public transportations have their own positive and negative sides and the following essay will discuss about them in details.

It is undeniable, that public transportations have some weaknesses. Some people still choose to use their own private vehicles, though the government has encouraged them to use public transports. It is because public transportations are not as safe as private cars and some criminal activities in public buses or trains such as pocket thieves are still being reported. And then public transportations are not reliable in terms of preciseness and accuracy. Many people have complained about the preciseness and the consistency of these public transportations schedules, which impacted to their work or study time. Despite of its weakness points, public transportations brings a lot of benefits for individuals and societies. Firstly, it is clear that the existence of public transportations will automatically reduced traffic problems. Secondly, if the utilization of public transportations increased, it means that there will be a reduction in the consumption of fossil fuels. Consequently, it will reduce air pollution and global warming issues. Therefore, the governments should encourage their residents to use public transportations. In conclusion, people have different opinions about public transportations. Some people enjoy using them, while others choose to use their own personal vehicles. Although public transportations have some weaknesses, I do believe that the benefits outweighed the drawbacks. I also suggest that the government should improve the public transportation services, therefore more and more people are attracted to use this kind of transportation.

Writing Test 21

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

Read the following text from an article about famous people.

Famous people of various kinds, including movie stars and royalty, are often closely followed by the press. There have been stories of journalists digging through garbage bins to find little bits of information on the private lives of the rich and famous. Some press photographers try to take photographs of famous people in their most private moments to sell to the world’s media.

Now, write an essay to an educated reader to discuss your opinions about challenges of being famous. Include reasons and any relevant examples to support your answer. You should write at least 250 words.

Bài làm:

It is widely believe that being famous guarantees a comfortable life without worrying about money or anything else. If so, why are there many articles about celebrities’ suicide because of pressures in life? Is it true that being famous so easy?

We could not negate the fact that famous people could earn ton of money through their careers such as: business, advertisement and so on. They spend their life in luxurious villas, expensive cars, travelling around the world… They always appear in well-known brand clothes or jewelry. It can be said that, celebrities have easier life than many other people.

However, being recognized by everyone causes many problems. First, famous people have no privacy for real. Every minute they step outside would be captured on the cover of some newspaper which could ruin their image immediately. Take Miss Vietnam- Ky Duyen for an example. A picture of her sleeping in the airplane with a strange posture was posted on the Internet. For that reason, many people criticized her that she did not know what she should do in public; or that she did not keep the image of a Miss Vietnam. The fact turned out that she was so tired during her promotion as a Miss Vietnamese, so she tried to take a break on the airplane. How poor she was! Problems does not only come from the paparazzi but also come from the fan. They follow them to everywhere, asking them for a picture or autograph… This somehow must be really annoying.

Second, fame also brings a serious problem that celebrities have to worry about their own safety and the safety of their family. Last month, properties in a private house of a well-known singer in Vietnam were stolen. She was so stressful and took a long time to recover after that. This is the reason why some famous people have to equip modern system or security to protect their life. Moreover, some fans have negative behavior that they even threaten their idol if he or she does not accept their proposal.

In conclusion, being famous would be nice but not an easy way to live. If you are interested in being recognized by everyone, you should accept its negative sides and find the way to deal with it.

Bài làm 2:

People often believe that brightness and success provide them with advantages and drawbacks as

well. I strongly Support the idea that the positive part outweigh the negative ones.

On the one hand, being film star or a bright sportsman lead people to be well known, loved and have

a lot of people attracted to them. They also find themselves to be admired and respected from a

wind. Hence, they sometimes would rather stay away from the media in order to keep

them secured and not to worry about being bothered by people even though they feel

admired by some fans.

To sum up, being famous and successful is like a sword having two sharp edges that

we cannot escape of. However, celebrities should get the most of their position and

always consider the disadvantages.

WRITING TEST 30

Read the following extract from an article:

Smoking is the biggest cause of preventable deaths in England, accounting for more than 80,000 deaths each year. One in two smokers will die from a smoking-related disease. It can also cause fatal diseases such as pneumonia, emphysema and lung cancer. It causes 84% of deaths from lung cancer and 83% of deaths from chronic obstructive lung disease, including bronchitis. As a result, some people agree that world governments should conduct serious campaigns against smoking.

Write an essay to an educated reader to show you opinion about the consequences of smoking and possible solutions. Include reasons and any relevant examples to support your answer. You should write at least 250 words. Bài làm: Smoking remains as a recurring topic on the list of the main issues around the world.The causes and effects of smoking are being discussed frequently among our society, and more and more solutions to resolve this issue are being brought up worldwide. This essay will discuss the consequences of smoking and possible solutions.

Firstly, smoking is harmful to one’s health over a long-term period. Smoking causes many different types of cancer including lung, oral, and kidney as well as esophagus cancers. Smoking also results in chronic bronchitis, and many types of breathing disorders. In England, smoking accounts for more than 80,000 deaths each year. Secondly, there are more harms in smoking then just the long-term effects. There are facts about the harm it does to others that breaths secondhand smoke, along with the chemicals that make up a cigarette. The chemicals alone are enough to make anyone want to quit. These chemicals are in small amounts, but still are hazardous to the health of both smokers and non-smokers. We need to stop this problem with some particular solutions. One way people can stop dying from cigarettes is to stop selling them. People will get a benefit because they can save money and their own life. It will be really helpful. It also gets and saves stamina for work or playing with their kids. Saving money can go to your kids for college or for clothes. So stop smoking can help your whole family. Also, cigarettes should be switched to electric ones. This will also be a cheaper solution because smokers just have to buy them once and charge them. So it will save lots of money. Smokers can also smoke wherever they want because it will not affect the people around. It will save the body because they will just get pleasure without the harsh chemicals.

In short, smoking is very harmful to smokers themselves and to all people around. In order to stop people dying from cigarettes, we need to stop selling them, or switch to the electric version.

Bài làm 2: Smoking is an issue with growing concern and several actions are expected to work in place. It has now been prohibited by some governing bodies to smoke in public and many organizations have restricted its use in offices. I am in favor of the changes implemented by the authorities however this essay intends to view both sides of the issue.

It is generally agreed and even proven with scientific studies, that smoking is injurious to health. Health problems that smoking can induce are numerous. Cancer is among the major detrimental effects of smoking on one’s health. As it is rightly displayed on the cigar packets, smoking is one of the primary factors leading to cancer. Furthermore, effect of smoking on the systemic and peripheral circulation in human body is appalling, as put forward by medical experts. The havoc of this insane habit is so horrifying, that research points towards its possible harmful effects on unborn child, even. Smoking is considered as a culprit among the many, behind the congenital birth defects and anomalies.

Another factor significant to this context would be the financial constraints imposed by smoking. In many developing countries, where people work on daily wages, habit of smoking has an atrocious impact on their quality of life. In majority of the mediocre families, around the world, smoking drains the significant part of their family budgets. For example, I witnessed many problems with reference to my father being a chronic smoker and the financial crisis it caused.

The amount of carbon and other toxic elements exhaled to atmosphere by active smokers has reached such dizzy heights that its effect on passive smokers is more or less a reality now. In fact, the effect of first hand smoke is seen permeable to even the second and third hand smokers in the spectrum. The significance of the public ban on smoking is not just justifying but a necessity as it calls for. As a result, it is widely banned in some offices and institutions. Awareness programs are being conducted all around the world against this habit.

Though the public ban on smoking is an individual constraint to one’s freedom, considering the passive effects of smoking I would strongly accord win the ban. In my view, this would be a punitive measure to safeguard the health and wealth of the public or the society.

WRITING TEST 14

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

Read the following text from an education magazine.

By playing, children are able to study many things around them. Children by nature want to

discover all things surrounding their houses and their playgrounds. When we force them to

spend their time on formal education, we accidentally build the walls that separate them from

the beautiful world outside. Moreover, children often find knowledge in books boring. In

contrast, when playing, they can observe the natural phenomena which attract their attention.

During this process children gain the knowledge.

Furthermore, playing helps them in developing physical conditions. When they play in the

gardens, or parks, they can breathe fresh air and be provided vitamin D obtained from

sunlight. Running and laughing also help in strengthening their muscles. Additionally, they

will have better immune systems that can protect them from many diseases. On the other

hand, if they stay at home and study too much, they may have the risk of getting obese.

Finally, when playing, children are able to gain many skills. They can learn how to cooperate with their team-mates to beat the opponents in games. Sometimes, there are arguments between the children. These are chances for them to practice problem-solving, negotiation skills. In reverse, when children study for most of their time, they become passive. In addition, they find difficult to communicate with other people. In short, young children should spend most of their time playing rather than just studying. By playing, they are able not only to learn many useful things, but also to develop comprehensively.

Bài làm 3:

Education is fundamental for both youth and older persons and it the most potent mechanism for the

advancement of human beings. In today's society, many persons believe that a child should commence

to focus on his study since an early age, others instead feel that the children need to invest their time

by playing. From my view, I honestly agree with the latest for several reasons.

Primarily, forcing children to begin study will lead negative outcomes in attitude as well as behavior,

as in such age they are more concentrates in enjoyable activities. To be specific, their brain is

programmed to have fun with others their peers for a certain age, thus imposing them to undertake a

formal education would be neither attractive nor productive. Hence, instead of putting pressure on

children to learning, parents should change their own methods and provide some educational games

which undoubtedly can prove to be a potential opportunity to prepare the young persons for a

scholastic career. To illustrate, a toddler generally tend to lose any sort of information as his mind has

not the strength to accumulate such material, yet involving education with enjoying activities can help

the youngsters to apprehend more easily certain arguments. Thus, it must be acknowledged that trying

to educate early a child has a negative impact besides of loss of time.

In addition, the childhood is the most enjoyable period in a human life, and so the children should not

be deprived of this life blessing by encouraging them to start learning in infancy. Kids commonly in

this term, seems to be contented by spending some time with their peers in pleasant activities rather

than allocate their attention on education itself. Moreover, the desire of learning can be compromised in a near future by beginning an educational journey early as in a later age they could realize they have wasted their childhood on the books. For instance, my cousin has recounted me that he feels repentant to have loose the infancy on books alone, instead of investing valuable time with his friends. Therefore, starting to learn beforehand can lead to adverse consequences in a long term.

To conclude, as an overall judgment, youth should use their infancy in amusing exercises, and unlike spending time on subjects, having some entertainment moments can leave them marvelous memories.

WRITING TEST 24

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

Read the following extract from a book chapter.

Young people have the highest rates of arrest for reported crime. Almost half of all people arrested are under the age of 25. Young people are more likely to be involved in crime because they have fewer relationships that encourage them to follow conventional behavior.

Now, write an essay to an educated reader to discuss your opinions about the reasons for violent crime among youngsters. Include reasons and any relevant examples to support your answer. You should write at least 250 words

Bài làm:

It has been indicated by the latest researches that there is a significant increase in

number of violence crimes in the youngsters under 25 years old. The reasons for this

phenomenon are believed to be lack of good encouraging to behave conventionally

from their parents and teachers and not able to find the best ways of educating their

own children in this age group.

The biggest mistake of educating people in this age is their parents and teachers treat

them in serious ways during the learning process. First of all, they observe that this

age group of children do not need emotion and softness as younger children, and they

really pay attention just to their academic study and how to pass successfully from the

school. As a result, the relationships between parents, teachers and students become

extremely hard without any love. Secondly, once the circumstance at the school or

home is getting worse and under pressure for students, they start to hate everyone and

act negatively and violently against innocent. Consequently, teachers and parents

cause people at age of 25 to be dangerous criminals in the society.

Additionally, parents and teachers feel embarrassed in finding their own method of

teaching people in this group. Although there are several of resources that teach

people the intelligent approaches of emotional and social learning for adult, it doesn’t

seem really effective to these teachers and parents. In Canada for instance, in

Chapter- the famous library there are a lot of the newest and easiest books of dealing

their families and schools. From my perspectives, however, those immature violent

criminals not only get insufficient learning but also are negatively affected by

computer games.

Apparently, the fact that adults leave children get away with themselves is one of the

factors that causes youngsters get involved in violent crime. In practice, many couples

of parents often shift their responsibility of teaching their children on teachers'

shoulders though a large fraction of time children spend at home. Such parents'

irresponsibility is likely to get children exposed to social evils including violence. In

addition, at schools, not a few lecturers emphasize on students' academic performance

but their morality. As a result, students appear to encounter no barrier to involve

fightings.

Similarly, the indulgence in computer games poses untold hidden mental hazards in

children's mentality in various aspects. In fact, nowadays numerous computer games

contain brutal shots. Such violent elements seem to get teenagers accustomed to

disturbances, thereby excite their uncontrollable behaviors. Besides, violent games are

prone to create both actual and potential rivals among players. Consequently, young

players who are hungry for success will fall out and even fight to each other

eventually.

In sum, violence crime among youngster seems to become an increasingly annoying

issue nowadays. Both parents and teachers should take proactive measures to curb this

problem by paying more attention to nurture their children and hindering them from

getting access to violent computer games.

WRITING TEST 19

Task 2:

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

Read the following text from an article about mass media.

While most of us make use of some form of the media on a daily basis, we may not think about the functions or purposes the media serves in our society. One important function is entertainment. On television, in particular, the variety of entertainment programs is extensive, ranging from soap operas, to comedy, to talk shows, to sports.

Now, write an essay to an educated reader to discuss your opinions about the purposes of mass media. Include reasons and any relevant examples to support your answer. You should write at least 250 words.

Bài làm

Mass media come in many forms, such as television, radio, the internet, newspaper or public events. As it encompasses a significant part of our life, it also have a powerful influence in shaping our lives. As such, we should be aware of the capabilities of such powerful tools, and from my perspective, mass media have four main purposes: To entertain, to educate, to inform and to influence.

Most people watch television for the entertainment and news. If we think about the time when there is to TV or radio, a good singer could never easily distribute their songs to the audience. Only aristocrats and powerful businessmen could afford going to soap operas or musical events. People got news largely through words of mouth, which also made it inaccurate. Nowadays, a song can be easily downloaded with one click, and there are always some hundreds of movies to choose from on cable TV.

Because entertainment and information are available everywhere and often more noticeable than other types of contents, we tend to misunderstood that these are the only purposes of mass media. However, with the ability to reach millions of people, they can also be used to educate and influence. Take advertising for example: we see ads everywhere in our life, and all they are trying to do is to persuade us to buy something. Likewise, if the message of an ad is to educate people about an important social issue, it immediately carries a different purpose.

To conclude, mass media have various purposes that can greatly benefit the community. Governments, businesses and individuals should embrace the power of such communication channels, while aiming at making positive impacts in order to improve life quality, both spiritually and educationally.

Bài làm 2 :

The mass media have a powerful influence in shaping our lives. We have come to depend on them for

information and entertainment, and in doing so we let them affect important aspects of our lives.

The undeniable usefulness of the media in almost instantly providing information about events around

the world is largely taken for granted. But in our dependence on the media we have allowed them to

creating our notions and opinions of events, places and people. Though few of us probably think

about it, our conceptions of, say, our elected official spring from television images and newspaper

stories. Most of us will never meet prime ministers or presidents, but anyone who is regularly exposed

to the media will have an opinion of them. When it is time to cast our vote, we will make our decision

based on how the media portray the candidates. We are similarly swayed by coverage of wars. The

media, representing the values of their owners, societies and governments, tend to report wars with a

bias; which is the 'good' side and which the 'bad' is determined for us by reporters, editors and

commentators, and sure enough the public begins to form opinions that reflect the coverage they see,

hear and read in the major media.

The media are also influential in the way they facilitate the spread of culture and lifestyle. The so-

called 'global youth culture', in which one finds young people around the world displaying a common

interest in music, clothing styles and films, is an example of the media's enormous sway in this

like quizzes and discussions, which may encourage learners to get more involved and

excited in the lectures, and as a result keep them sitting in class to the end.

To conclude, personally I would suggest the universities focusing on improving their

main factors such as quality, accommodation, even competitiveness and successfully-

employed-after-graduation rate; instead of minor things like the compulsion of class

attendance.

Compulsory attendance in university has always been a highly debated subject. Professors view class

attendance as an individual student responsibility. However, many students want to be given the

freedom to decide which classes to attend. Due to the difficulty of regulating a school-wide

attendance policy, most colleges and universities give professors the authority to set their own

attendance rules. Some people believe that university students should be required to attend classes.

Others believe that going to classes should be optional for students.t. From my point of view, I agree

with the former opinion that student must to go class no matter whether they want or not.

Students who do not like to go to campus have their own reasons. The main reason is their self-study

ability. With the material available on internet and library, they can search and learn by themselves

without attending class. In addition, if they do not go to campus, they will have more spare time.

Accordingly, they can spend it on other activities like getting a part-time job, joining clubs in their

university or sleeping.

In spite of some reasons above, I insist that the benefit of attending to class may be not attending.

Firstly, students can learn plenty of valuable knowledge that probably is not found on books or on the

Internet, the information is very helpful for their studies because they are formed by their teacher’s

research and experience. Therefore, students can understand lectures easier in class than learn by

themselves at home. In addition, students who attend class can be directly given useful advices from

professors. This may help their methodologies to surpass quickly during their studies. Students cannot

do it unless they attend university. Furthermore, group discussion in class can help student improve

their social skills. In class discussion, they must converse each other about a topic with their

classmate or team-mate, then they protect idea of their groups against their teacher and other groups.

As a result, teamwork skill, presentation skills and communication skill could be developed

accordingly.

Now in many universities, attendance to classes is so poor that the regulation of class attendance is issued to solve that problem. That means the students are obliged to attend the class if they do not want to get bad grades or even get expelled. In my opinion, university students are all adults, so they are mature enough to make their own decision and they should be given the right to choose to attend

the class or not. However, I think that it would be more beneficial for them to perform a regular attendance

To begin with, when students choose to attend classes, they will have better connection with professors and their classmates. It is a high possibility that the friends they have now at the university can help them a lot in their future life. And it is undeniable that having a good relationship with the teachers can be beneficial. For example, the professors can help the students to find a job by introducing them or writing a letter of recommendation. Or at least, they can give their students proper advice about their future career

What is more, the students can learn numerous lessons they can not learn from text books. When attending classes, they can be shared experience or advice from the professors. I know sometimes the lectures can be boring because some teachers just base the presentation completely on the textbooks, but generally, the lectures at universities are informative because the professors are very experienced

In clusion, I think the students should try to attend their classes regularly to gain knowledge. Nonetheless, as they are old enough, they can have their own decision about this matter.

For each student, perhaps nobody is strange with attendance policy in their university. Because most schools expect students to attend all of their classes, they may give teachers and professors power to set their specific attendance rules. While some people hold the opinion that students should attend classes, others believe that students have right to decide to go to shool or not. As far as from my view points, I totally agree with the opinion that students should required to attend classes due to the following reasons.

First, attending classes fully help stundents get comprehensive knowledge. As science becomes increasing develop, students can study while they are staying at home via internet or learn by themselves. However, knowledge in text books is only the fundamental knowledge and self-study require student to learn hard and strictly. Nevertheless, in the class, teachers and professors with their deep knowledge and experience can answer questions that the students are confuse and teach them to develop more skills based on basic knowledge.

Second, attending classes is a good way for stundents to improve their responsibility. In attendance policy, students are permitted to be absent for a few classes because of appropriate reasons like illness or emergency situation. For example, students cannot claim for sleeping late to skip class. If students can not to attend a certain class, they have to notify their teacher before class about situation and try to find out what they missed and to complete all home work assignmentscarefully. By complying with rules in class, Students are raising their responsibility and discipline in order to prepare for their future.

Finally, as students attend classes, they have opportunities to interact with other students and people. They can exchange their opinions and knowledge. By participating the grooup activities, they can get more soft-skills such as problem solving, team work, and group management, those are necessary for their career in the future.

To conclude, students should attend classes because of above positive aspects, namely knowledge, responsibility and interaction opportunity. That will help students gain successful in their craeer and their life.
