Topic 1: Does the use of technology in the classroom make learning more

effective. What is your opinion?

The grows of using technology in the classroom nowadays is more and more
developing. For example, many class now are having big smart television to help
teachers to teaching or students can use smartphones to record the learning
documents. So is the use of technology in the classroom make learning more
effective? In my opinion, using technology in the classroom can make learning
more effective.
In nowadays developing society, use of technology is considered as a necessary
part of life. So that, the way people use it in learning, teaching methods can be
seen as a very necessary way.
First, use technology in teaching can help students feel more easily to learn.
Interactive tools such as smartboards, educational apps, and videos help capture
students’ attention and make complex topics easier to understand.
Second, technology enables personalized learning. Some teachers can tailor their
content to each student’s skill level, which means students who don’t understand
the old lesson can revisit to learn by their own, it helps developing their self-
educated skill.
Moreover, technology removes gaps in education. Online systems help students
all over the world receive the same quality of education. Students in remote areas
can study more easily by using the Internet. They can have the same chance to
study as students in urban places.
In conclusion, technology can make learning more effective by improve
interaction, enabling personalization and increasing reachability. Despite that, it
should be seen as a tool to support traditional teaching, not as a replacement. By
addressing its limitations, we can maximize the benefits of technology in
education.
Topic 2: Do you believe that advanced technology in homes, like smart
devices, makes life easier or more complicated. Explain your opinion?
In my opinion, advanced technology in homes, like smart devices generally
makes life easier by automating everyday tasks, saving time, and increasing
convenience. However, it can also cause problems if the devices are not set up
correctly or if people having difficult in using them. So, while smart technology
can be helpful, it’s important for users to use it carefully and thoughtfully.
Firstly, smart devices greatly enhance convenience and efficiency. For instance,
smart devices can automatically adjust the temperature based on your preferences,
saving energy and reducing costs or smart voice assistants can manage many
tasks like playing music, setting reminder, controlling appliances just by saying
commands. These devices help us in saving time and effort, making household
management much smoother.
Secondly, smart devices improve safety and security for your home. Home
automation systems with smart locks, cameras, and sensors allow homeowners to
control their property safety remotely, offering peace of mind. For example, you
can check your home's security camera from your smartphone, no matter where
you are.
However, there must be some challenges if you want to rely on advanced
technology in homes. Because the technology is always developing, so some
programs’ setup is very complex. Not everyone is a technology engineer so
sometimes the modern technology will make the owner confused about using it.
In conclusion, advanced technology in homes makes life easier by
increasing convenience, efficiency, and security. However, it can also complicate
life for those unfamiliar with technology or concerned about privacy. To truly
benefit from smart devices, users need to balance convenience with an awareness
of potential risks
Topic 3: Do you think advertisements influence teenagers’ decisions about
what to buy? Explain your viewpoint.
Advertisements play a big role in our daily life. Over time, it has become
more and more personal and powerful, influencing what we buy and how we
think. Today ads are not just about selling products - they try to connect with
teenagers, and shape their opinions, and even start some trends. I believe
advertisements have a strong influence on teenagers' decisions about what to buy.
Firstly, one of the key reasons advertisements affect teenagers is their desire to fit
in with their equals. Ads often highlight how certain products, like clothing or
beauty products, which can help teenagers look cool or be part of a popular trend.
For example, seeing an influencer or celebrity wearing a specific brand of clothes
can make teenagers feel that they need those items to be accepted by their friends
or feel confident.
Secondly, teenagers are more impressionable because they are still developing
their sense of identity and may be more likely to be swayed by the messages in
advertisements. Advertisers know this and target their messages carefully to
appeal to their interests, making them more likely to want to buy what’s being
advertised.
However, not all teenagers are equally influenced by ads. Some may be more
critical and aware of the tactics used in advertising, but overall, ads play a
significant role in shaping what teenagers want to buy.
In conclusion, advertisements greatly influence teenagers' buying choices by
appealing to their emotions and desire to fit in. While some may be less affected,
ads play a major role in shaping trends and preferences.
Topic 4: Do you think driverless cars will be the cars of the future? Why or
Why not?
Self-driving cars have been the subject of much discussion in recent years,
with many experts predicting that they could shape the new future of the
transportation sector. As the technology continues to advance, the question is
whether self-driving cars will become the norm in the future or whether
challenges still exist that prevent them from replacing traditional vehicles. In my
opinion, self-driving cars are the cars of the future for a few interesting reasons.
First, they could represent the future, as they have the potential to make driving
safer. Self-driving cars rely on advanced technologies such as sensors, cameras
and artificial intelligence, so they can react faster than human drivers and reduce
accidents caused by mistakes and distractions, potentially saving lives and
reducing traffic-related injuries. Another reason is convenience: autonomous cars
give passengers time to relax, work or enjoy the ride without having to focus on
the road. They also help people who can't drive, such as the elderly or disabled,
regain their independence.
However, there are still some problems. One is ensuring the technology is fully
safe and reliable. While driverless cars have shown promise, they still face
difficulties in handling unexpected situations, such as bad weather or complex
traffic conditions. In addition, there are concerns about the loss of work in the
implementation of sectors such as truck drivers and taxi drivers, and questions
regarding confidentiality and safety when using these technologies.
In conclusion, unmanned cars can become a future car, but it takes time to
solve these problems. As technology improves and problems are solved, self-
driving cars may become an integral part of our daily lives.
Topic 5: Do you think social media makes people feel more connected or
more isolated? Explain your thoughts.
Social media has become central to our lives, influencing how we
communicate, share experiences, and build relationships. While social media has
benefits such as helping us stay connected with friends and family, it has also
raised concerns about its impact on our mental health. In my opinion, social
networks can connect and are more isolated to people, depending on how they are
used.

Social network, on the other hand, can help people in contact with distant and
important beings, help people find a community with similar interest and
experience. For example, someone facing a personal challenge can connect with
others in online groups who understand their situation.

On the other hand, social media can also foster feelings of isolation, especially
through unhealthy comparisons. Many users only share the best moments of their
lives, which can create unrealistic standards that they feel others cannot live up to.
This can lead to feelings of inadequacy, especially in teenagers and young adults
who are still developing their identity. Additionally, social media can provide a
false sense of connection: While users may have hundreds, or even thousands, of
"friends" online, these digital relationships often lack the emotional depth of face-
to-face interactions, leading to feelings of loneliness and disconnection.

In conclusion, social media has the potential to both unite and isolate people.
It allows for connection and finding supportive communities, but can also
contribute to feelings of loneliness due to unrealistic portrayals of life and the
pressure of online validation. How we use social media and the nature of our
interactions play a key role in how it impacts our well-being. It is important to use
social media mindfully in order to improve real-life relationships.
Topic 6: Do you think small talk is a good way to make a good first
impression? Explain your viewpoint.
Small talk is casual conversation about simple topics like the weather or
current events. Small talk is often regarded as superficial conversations, which
play an important role in creating positive first impressions. I believe small talk is
an effective way to build rapport and demonstrate approachability, which are
important traits in academic and social interactions.

Small talk acts as a great icebreaker and eases tension when meeting new people.
In universities, students may often start talking with professors, classmates, or
new acquaintances. Simple topics such as weather, campus events, and classical
experience in class can help eliminate the first discomfort. This informal
interaction creates a comfortable environment for deeper conversations, whether
academic or personal.

In addition, casual conversation is a sign of openness and friendliness. In a

university environment where networking and collaboration are important,
accessibility makes it easier to connect. Small talk shows interest in others and
helps you build relationships with your colleagues and professors, creating a
positive impression that can lead to future collaborations and friendships. In
addition, Small Talk makes it possible to find a common language. When
discussing topics such as university events or interests, people can reveal common
hobbies or academic hobbies, which leads to more significant discussions. This
connection often lays the foundation for stronger relationships and future
interactions.

In conclusion, small talk is an effective way to make a good first impression

in college. This helps break the ice, communicate social interactions, and build
connections that can lead to new opportunities for personal and academic growth.
