Sample 1: Chủ đề Advertising
Advertising is becoming more and more common in everyday life. Is this a positive or negative
development?
Advertising has become increasingly prevalent in our daily lives, Vocabulary
permeating various aspects of society. In my opinion, this trend
can have both positive and negative consequences.
On the one hand, advertising can beneKt both consumers and
producers in several ways. It allows for increased accessibility
to information about products, services, and events. Advertising make informed choices (verb
helps individuals become aware of new products and services phrase): đưa ra lựa chọn đúng
that they may not have known about otherwise. It can enhance đắn
consumer knowledge and enable people to make informed
choices. In addition, advertising can stimulate consumer stimulate consumer demands
demands, create awareness, and generate interest in products (verb phrase): kích thích nhu cầu
and services. This can lead to increased sales and higher tiêu dùng
revenues for the retailers and manufacturers.
On the other hand, it is also important to acknowledge some
potential negative aspects of advertising becoming more discomfort (noun): sự không thoải
common. An abundance of advertising can lead to a sense of mái
discomfort and overload in everyday life. For example, many
people now often feel annoyed or even irritated with the manipulative techniques (noun
constant exposure to advertisements while browsing the phrase): kỹ thuật thao túng
internet or watching TV. Moreover, some advertisers may
employ manipulative techniques to inZuence consumer exploit psychological
behaviour, exploiting psychological vulnerabilities and creating vulnerabilities: khai thác điểm yếu
artiKcial needs. This can lead to impulsive purchases, wasteful tâm lý
:
consumption, and dissatisfaction among consumers, especially impulsive purchases: mua sắm
when their expectations are not met. không kiểm soát
In conclusion, the prevalence of advertising can bring people
useful information about the available products on the market
and help companies increase their sales. However, we should
also be aware of the negative aspects of advertising, including
the discomfort it brings to people and the manipulative
techniques from advertisers.

Sample 2 – Chủ đề Transportation
Some cities have vehicle-free days, when private cars, trucks, motorcycles are banned in the
city centre. Public transportations like buses, taxis and metros are advised.
Do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
Some cities now ban private vehicles from entering the city Vocabulary
centre on certain days and allow only public transportations.
Although this can have certain drawbacks, I believe the beneKts
are much more signiKcant.
imposition (noun): sự áp đặt, bắt
The imposition of vehicle-free days can cause inconvenience to buộc
people and affect certain businesses. Many people, especially
the disabled (noun): người
the disabled or elderly, often rely on private vehicles in their daily
khuyết tật
travels, so the banning of private vehicles is certainly
inconvenient for them. This is also the case in cities where public underdeveloped (adjective):
transport systems are still underdeveloped, as buses, trains, or chậm phát triển, chưa thực hiện
even taxis in these cities may lack the capacity to serve people’s được tiềm năng trong phát triển
travel demands. In addition, businesses in city centres may kinh tế (về một nước..)
experience reduced sales due to decreased accessibility on capacity (noun): sức chứa
vehicle-free days.
accessibility (noun): khả năng
However, the advantages that this policy brings far outweigh the tiếp cận
disadvantages mentioned above. First, when private vehicles are
not allowed in the city centre, the level of carbon emissions and, carbon emissions (noun): lượng
along with that, air pollution will be reduced. This can beneKt khí thải carbon
people in the long run, as air pollution is a major contributor to respiratory (adjective): thuộc về
respiratory problems and other health issues. Second, with fewer hô hấp
vehicles on the road, tragc congestion is reduced, leading to
pedestrians (noun): người đi bộ
smoother tragc Zow, reduced travel time, and increased safety
for pedestrians and cyclists. Thirdly, by promoting public cyclists (noun): người đi xe đạp
transportation and cycling, vehicle-free days can encourage
:
people to use these modes of transportation more often,
reducing their dependence on private vehicles.
In conclusion, though the policy of vehicle-free days in some
cities can have unwelcome consequences for some people and
businesses, I believe it is a beneKcial trend in the long run. This
policy can help reduce air pollution and tragc congestion in city
centres, as well as encourage more people to use public
transport on a daily basis.

Sample 1 – Chủ đề environment
The increase in the production of consumer goods results in damage to the natural
environment.
What are the causes of this?
What can be done to solve this problem?
The increased production of consumer goods poses a threat to Vocabulary
the natural environment. This essay will point out the causes of
this problem and suggest solutions to deal with it.
The detrimental impact of increased consumer goods production
on the natural environment can be attributed to two primary minerals (noun): khoáng sản
factors. Firstly, the manufacturing of consumer goods
timber (noun): gỗ
necessitates the extraction of valuable natural resources, such as
minerals, metals, fossil fuels, and timber. Consequently, depletion (noun): sự cạn kiệt,
heightened production places greater demand on these Knite sự suy giảm
resources, resulting in their overexploitation and depletion. This
can disrupt ecosystems and lead to habitat destruction. Secondly,
many manufacturing processes involved in the production of
solvents (noun): chất dung môi
consumer goods release a range of pollutants into the
environment, affecting the air, water, and soil. For instance,
chemicals commonly employed in manufacturing, such as
solvents, acids, and dyes, often Knd their way into water bodies
through improper disposal or accidental spills, giving rise to water
pollution. This pollution, in turn, inZicts harm upon ecosystems environmental footprint (noun
and impairs biodiversity. phrase): ảnh hưởng về môi
Both individuals and authorities should take action to address the trường (của các cá nhân hoặc
environmental issues associated with increased production of tổ chức)
consumer goods. To begin with, individuals can signiKcantly impulse buying (noun phrase):
reduce their environmental footprint by adopting conscious việc mua sắm bất ngờ, không
consumption practices. This involves avoiding impulse buying, suy nghĩ kỹ trước khi mua
planning ahead and considering the necessity of each item.
Quality should be prioritised over quantity, encouraging the
selection of durable, long-lasting products. Furthermore,
authorities can enforce regulations to limit pollution and resource non-compliance (noun): đối
depletion from manufacturing processes. This includes setting tượng vi phạm, không tuân thủ
emission standards, waste disposal regulations, and sustainable dnes (noun): tiền phạt
resource management practices. It is imperative that these
regulations are coupled with penalties for non-compliance. Fines,
legal action, and even facility shutdowns may be necessary
consequences for companies that violate environmental
regulations.
:
In conclusion, the adverse effects of heightened consumer goods
production on the natural environment are rooted in resource
overexploitation and the discharge of pollutants during
manufacturing processes. To effectively tackle these
environmental challenges, a collaborative approach involving both
individuals and regulatory authorities is essential.

Sample 2 – Chủ đề health/ social issues
An increasing number of people are choosing plastic surgery.
Why do people want to change the way they look?
Is this a positive or negative development?
Vocabulary
Many people nowadays opt for plastic surgery to enhance their
appearance. This essay will point out the reasons behind this
trend, and I believe this is a negative development.
The choice of plastic surgery stems from social pressure and medical issues (noun phrase):
some people’s medical issues. The media have constantly Vấn đề ý tế
promoted certain beauty standards, such as ideal body shapes,
beauty standards (noun
height, and trendy skin tones. As a result, many people feel the
phrase): Tiêu chuẩn sắc đẹp
urge to conform to those standards and eventually undergo
plastic surgery to achieve their desired appearance. In addition, urge (noun): Sự thúc giục
some other people may have birth defects or physical injuries and birth defects (noun phrase): dị
decide to correct these with plastic surgery. For example, some tật bẩm sinh
people feel inferior to others in terms of appearance because they
are born with an unusual nose shape, so they seek plastic surgery
as a solution.
perpetuation (noun): sự kéo dài
While plastic surgery can help people enhance their appearance, I
still believe that it is a negative trend in general. One major stereotypes (noun): Định kiến
negative inZuence is the perpetuation of unrealistic beauty khuôn mẫu
standards. Plastic surgery can reinforce stereotypes about certain discrimination and prejudice
physical traits, such as thinness or a certain facial structure, as (noun phrase): phân biệt đối xử
being more desirable or attractive. This can perpetuate và định kiến
discrimination and prejudice based on appearance, which can
anaesthesia (noun): Sự gây tê
adversely affect people's mental health and well-being.
Additionally, plastic surgery can be expensive and come with dnancial strain (noun phrase):
signiKcant health risks, including infection, bleeding, and adverse Sự khó khăn về tài chính
:
reactions to anaesthesia. Some people may become addicted to
plastic surgery, undergoing multiple procedures to chase a
perceived ideal appearance, which can lead to physical and
emotional harm, as well as dnancial strain.
In conclusion, social pressure and physical deformities are the
two main reasons why more people undergo plastic surgery. This
is a negative trend because it can create unrealistic perceptions of
beauty and involve several health consequences.

Sample 1: Chủ đề Technology
Some people think that the increasing use of computers and mobile phones for communication
has a negative effect on young people’s reading and writing skills.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Vocabulary
Some people believe that young people’s reading and writing
abilities are deteriorating because of the frequent use of mobile
phones and computers for communication. I completely agree
with this statement for the following reasons.
As mobile phones and computers become more popular, reading
erode (verb): ăn mòn, huỷ diệt
is among the Krst skills to be affected. Digital communication
dần dần
often involves reading short bursts of information, such as social
media posts and text messages. This can make young people comprehension skills (noun
less likely to read longer, complex texts in print form, which could phrase): kỹ năng hiểu/ lĩnh hội
erode their comprehension skills and ability to analyse complex constant notidcations (noun
arguments. In addition, the constant notidcations and phrase): thông báo liên tục
distractions that come with digital communication can make it
inability (noun): sự không có
digcult for young people to focus on reading tasks. This can lead
khả năng, sự bất lực
to a lack of deep reading skills and an inability to concentrate for
long periods of time. hamper (verb): cản trở, ngăn trở
Young people’s writing skills can also be hampered due to
modern communication methods. Mobile phones and computers
often include autocorrect features, which can lead to a become accustomed to...
dependence on technology to correct spelling and grammar (phrase): Trở nên quen với...
errors. This can harm young people's ability to recognise and
frequent spelling errors (noun
correct mistakes on their own and may lead to poor writing skills
phrase): lỗi chính tả thường
in the long run. Moreover, digital communication often relies on
xuyên
abbreviations and slang, which means young people would rarely
use proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation when texting. For shallow (adjective): nông, cạn,
example, young people may become accustomed to using "u" không sâu
instead of "you" or "lol" instead of writing out "laugh out loud".
Gradually, this can turn into a habit and cause young people to
make frequent spelling errors and reduce their writing ability.
In conclusion, I agree with the idea that communication on
computers and mobile phones can reduce young people’s reading
:
and writing skills. The popularity of digital communication can
lead to shallow reading, reduced attention spans, and more
frequent writing errors.

Sample 2: Chủ đề Workplace
Some people think that employers should not care about the way their employees dress,
because what matters is the quality of their work.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Vocabulary
Some people believe that employers should pay no attention to
how their staff dress because their work quality is what matters. I
partly agree with this statement since it is only true for certain
occupations.
A person’s way of dressing has no connection with the nature of software engineers: kỹ sư phần
many job roles and therefore should not be a concern for mềm
employers. For example, most software engineers can work
anywhere they feel comfortable. They can wear whatever they
want since the only important thing in their job is their
performance, such as whether they meet their deadlines or solve superiors: cấp trên
digcult problems. Similarly, what matters in accountants’ jobs is
how they deal with business Kgures, and this is what their real estate agent (noun
superiors should pay full attention to, rather than how they dress. phrase): nhân viên môi giới bất
However, many other jobs require people to appear in public or động sản
work directly with their clients, and this is when their way of bank credit consultant (noun
dressing becomes an important part. A real estate agent or a phrase): nhân viên tư vấn tín
bank credit consultant needs to maintain a polite and dụng ngân hàng
trustworthy appearance in front of their clients, as they represent
trustworthy (adjective): đáng
the whole organisation in the eyes of the public. Therefore,

employers should ensure that their staff follow the company’s
dress code and never dress too casually at work. Teachers should
also dress suitably because they are the model for their students
to follow. School administrators should impose regulations to relaxed (adjective): nới lỏng
make all teachers dress properly in classes.
In conclusion, whether employers should care about how their
staff dress depends on certain job roles. The dress code should
be strictly regulated in jobs that require public appearance, like
:
Knancial consultant or teacher, while it can be relaxed in other
jobs, like software engineer or accountant.

Sample 1: Chủ đề Happiness
:
Some people think that people are responsible for their happiness. Others feel happiness
depends on other factors in their life.
Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Vocabulary
Opinions differ as to whether happiness depends on people
themselves or other factors in life. I believe that both personal
responsibility and external factors play a role in determining an
individual's happiness.
On the one hand, individuals are responsible for their own
happiness. Happiness primarily depends on an individual's cultivate a positive outlook: xây
mindset and attitude towards life, as people have control over dựng một góc nhìn tích cực
their thoughts, emotions, and reactions, and can choose to
cultivate a positive outlook. For example, upon facing a challenge,
one can consider it a learning opportunity, and such a mindset
can help them feel more satisKed once the challenge is overcome. mindfulness (noun): chánh
In addition, people also have the freedom to take good care of niệm
themselves by maintaining physical health, pursuing hobbies, and
practicing mindfulness. These activities lie within their external circumstances (noun
responsibility and can lead to increased happiness and [Link]): những tình huống xảy
However, one’s happiness also depends on the environment, as ra bên ngoài
there are factors that lie beyond their control. External socioeconomic status: tình hình
circumstances, such as socioeconomic status and access to kinh tế xã hội
resources, signiKcantly impact an individual's happiness, but
people can hardly inZuence any of these factors. For instance, an economic crisis (noun phrase):
economic crisis can send many people into poverty and make khủng hoảng kinh tế
them unhappy, and this hardly be overcome by personal efforts trauma (noun): sang chấn
alone. Moreover, happiness can be affected by signiKcant life
events and how individuals cope with adversity. Factors such as
loss, illness, or trauma can be challenging to overcome solely
through personal responsibility.
In conclusion, while personal mindset and self-care are essential
to one’s happiness, we cannot ignore the impact of external
circumstances and signiKcant life events. It is crucial to focus on
what is within our control while also recognizing that external
factors can shape our happiness.

Sample 2: Chủ đề Sports
:
Some people think that the government should ban dangerous sports. Others think that people
should have the freedom to do any sports they want.
Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Vocabulary
People have different views about whether extreme sports should
be banned or are a matter of personal choice. Personally, I think
people should have total freedom in which sports to engage in,
including extreme sports.
It is understandable why many people think extreme sports should
be banned. Among the top reasons is the concern for players’
health and safety. Many extreme sports like skateboarding or
mountain biking involve high speed, while others like ice climbing strenuous training (noun
and skiing are sometimes performed in extreme weather phrase): sự đào tạo vất vả
conditions. Although players of these sports may be in good
health and have been through strenuous training, the risk of fatalities (noun): tử vong
injuries or even fatalities is still high since these sports are not a controlled environment
performed in a controlled environment. Therefore, many people (phrase): một môi trường an
think banning extreme sports is necessary. toàn, được kiểm soát
On the other hand, others argue that the decision to engage in personal preference (noun
these sports can totally depend on the players since it is just a phrase): sở thích cá nhân
matter of personal preference and choices. For many athletes,
dull (adjective): nhàm chán
conventional sports appear to be dull, but extreme sports, which
involve intense physical activity, give them a ‘feel-good’ fatal incidents (noun): sự cố
experience. Such thrills keep these players pursuing these sports chết người
despite the risk of fatal incidents. In other cases, people who aim harsh (adjective): khắc nghiệt
to test their physical and mental capacities may opt for extreme
sports. For these people, sustaining the harsh conditions of
dangerous sports or not having complete control of the
environment is a challenge they want to face.
In conclusion, I think that people should have complete freedom
on which sports to engage in and that the government should not
have control over their decisions.
