that life in the countryside is more suitable for them. What are the advantages and

disadvantages of both places. - yêu cầu dưa ra cả hai mặt lợi và hại - không cần nêu ý

Sample:
Some individuals believe that raising children in the country is an ideal option, while

others think that cities provide a much better living opportunity. In this essay, the

advantages and disadvantages of both places will be discussed.

Firstly, the countryside allows children to be in touch with nature, taking care of

animals and helping with gardening. As a result, children can learn to protect the

environment and live without modern conveniences. Additionally, they are able to

play outside without being concerned about their safety as when they are in the city,

where they are kept inside and driven towards using smartphones and computers. On

the contrary, schools in the city typically offer lower-quality education and it can be

challenging to find extracurricular activities. Children can encounter many challenges

when participating in extracurricular activities outside of the classroom.

However, schools in metropolitan areas tend to have better quality and offer all kinds

of activities. It is still feasible to find a sport or art course in the city. As a result, it can

be much simpler for all kids to discover their abilities and hobbies at an early age. On

the other hand, parents constantly have to be conscious of the security, pollution, and

lack of access to nature. Therefore, a city where kids could play in parks and gardens

would be a preferable choice.

To sum up, growing up in the countryside can be very positive for someone’s

childhood, but the city will usually offer better opportunities for their talents’

development.

Đề bài: In most countries, fast food is becoming cheaper and more available.

Do the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?

Sample:
It is widely witnessed that fast food is becoming more and more popular in many

countries. I hold the belief that the drawbacks of this development are far more

significant than the benefits involved.

The fact that the prices of fast food are reducing and its availability is increasing.

Having more affordable fast food options available bring many benefits to both

individuals as well as the society. Delicious foods are offered at low prices and

delivered in a short amount of time. Some chains, like McDonald's, have opened

several drive-through restaurants selling foods less than one dollar, so people no

longer need to leave their car. This can allow people to save money and time, which is

suitable for working people with a busy schedule. On the societal level, when more

people go to fast-food outlets for their regular meals, fast food businesses can quickly

expand and thus increase the sales volumes. This expansion of fast food chains might

create more job opportunities for local people and result in higher employment rates.

Despite the aforementioned benefits, this trend can have several major downsides.

Chief of these is that traditional dinners that serve as a bonding activity among family

members in the past are now less common as a result of the growth of fast food.

Long-term negative effects on family dietary patterns may result from this trend.

Another reason worth mentioning is that eating too much fast food may actually

increase one’s chance of developing a wide range of chronic conditions, such as

diabetes or obesity. Additionally, chemical components included in convenience food,

such as saturated fat and food coloring, can hasten this process.

In conclusion, the fact that fast food is becoming much more affordable and popular

can bring certain benefits for some individuals and the economy. However, I believe

that this development is more disadvantageous due to the negative effects on familial

bonds and health.

International tourism has brought enormous benefits to many places. At the same

time, people are concerned about its impact on local inhabitants and the environment.
 ●​ Is This A Positive Or Negative Development?
●​ Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your
own knowledge or experience.

Sample:
People have different views about the effect of international tourism. While I accept

that international tourism has some positive impacts on our lives, I believe that it has

more negative impacts compared to positive ones.

On the one hand, International tourism has many advantages. First, from my

perspective, travel is a very common pastime. By exploring a new location, travelers

can unwind and enjoy themselves. Additionally, traveling stimulates their minds and

broadens their horizons by exposing them to various countries and traditions. Second,

from an economic standpoint, the tourism industry is crucial to the development of

many nations. Tourism is one of the major sources of income for some people.

Additionally, the tourism sector generates numerous job openings in industries like

hotels and restaurants. International travel consequently raises the standard of living in

some local communities.

On the other hand, I believe that International tourism has more negative impacts on

the environment and local cultures. First, from an environmental standpoint, there are

three ways that tourism could harm the ecosystem. First, the tourism industry's

demand for excessive construction might ruin natural habitats and potentially cause

the extinction of several species and plants. Additionally, waste and pollution are

increased by international tourists. Finally, the tourism industry demanding constantly

natural resources like water and energy could result in a shortage of some basic human

needs. Second, from a cultural standpoint, tourism could have a negative impact on

local cultures. Farming and fishing may become obsolete as a result of people being
forced to work in tourism-related industries, which could lead to the loss of many

cultural traits and values.

In conclusion, in my opinion, the potential dangers of international tourism on the

environment and culture are far more significant than the benefits on personal and

economic sectors. Governments should impose laws to protect the environment and

local cultures.
