The line graph presents the birth, death and the population growth rates of Scotland from
1940 with projections towards 2020. The most prominent feature was that the country's
population was on the steady decline since 1955 and stopped growing altogether by
around the mid-2000s.
23
The birth rate of Scotland dropped from 2.5 per cent in 1940 and never returned to that
mark ever since. Except for two brief periods of very modest recovery (1945-1950, 1965-
1968), the country's birth rate plunged to roughly one per cent in 1960. Since the 70s, the
birth rate of Scotland was on a continuing downward trend to well below one per cent
around the 2010s. The trend is forecast to remain unchanged towards 2020.

bi: In some countries the average weight of people is increasing and their levels of
health and fitness are decreasing. What do you think are the causes of these problems
and what measures could be taken to solve them?
V d v vic vit lan man (Ct mi m g khng cht)

First of all, one of the reasons to discuss is the development of fast food or convenient
food. It can easily be seen that there are many fast food stores on the high streets in
Western countries. People usually choose to go to these stores instead of cooking a
healthy meal at home. The reason for it is that fast food might be cheaper than a healthy
meal with vegetables and it is also really convenient for working people who are really
busy. However, fast food has a negative effect on peoples health because it increases
the .in your body and makes them become fatter and fatter. For example, the number of
people in Western countries is higher than in Eastern and Asian countries because Asians
usually have more vegetables in their meal and there are just a few fast food stores, such
as KFC and McDonald, in these countries.
Moreover, exercising might also be a reason that lead to the increase in the average
weight of people. Exercising plays a really important role in level of health and fitness
because it makes people become more active, healthier and keeps them fit. Nowadays
everything has been becoming more developed, which means people have more activities
to do. This might lead to the fact that they do not have time or they prefer to do another
36
activity instead of exercising. (229 words)

Convenience food has been considered one of the most important causes for the
increasingly popular overweight issue, for its high levels of calorie and cholesterols. What
exacerbates the situation is the decreasing popularity of physical activities, which is
especially true to the white-collar workers who spend most of their time sitting in the office
instead of exercising. (57 words)

Bn gc: Firstly, as the cities develop, the road for getting a job is likely to become tougher
and severer, the employment market become more and more competitive. Newly
graduates do not have experience that meets the demand of employers.
Bn sa: Firstly, as the labour market gets more competitive than ever, many fresh
graduates fail to meet employers expectations and end up without a job.
Nm cu rt thnh hai cu
Bn gc: First of all, it is not easy for young people to find jobs. The growth of major city
brings more job opportunities to habitants and attracts well-training people. This makes
labor market becomes more competitive and thus young people find it difficult to have a
job due to lack of experience. Newly graduates do not have experience that meets the
demand of employers. Some graduates holding bachelor degrees have to find blue-collar
37
jobs so as to earn their livings.
Bn sa: While the growth of cities brings about a world of employment opportunities, the
ever tougher competition leaves many young people without jobs. This means many have
to accept handy or poorly paid jobs; in many cases, what they are offered to do totally fail
to match their qualifications and academic achievements.
Tm dng thnh ba dng

Bn gc: Secondly, the society's morality in the fast growing cities is corrupting which is
having bad effect on the young generation. In those cities, where there is huge demand of
foods, in order to earn more money, some people use the decayed raw materials like died
pork to make foods or use the forbidden chemical substances to make vegetables and
fruits, like durians to grow bigger, ripen faster, look and smell better. As a result, the young
living there will withdraw a lesson that to achieve our target, any price can be paid, without
a certain care about others' safety or interest, which can lead to a very bad and dangerous
effect on their characteristic building.
Bn sa: The decreased social morality in fast growing cities has direct negative effects on
young people. For example, unethical ways of doing business can be copied by young
people who are desperate to find shortcuts to success.

on sa: Space tourism has become a reality for the following reasons. Firstly, as this
type of tourism can give people many unique experiences such as seeing the earth from
space or floating in zero gravity, it has always attracted people who have an adventurous
spirit, especially those who can afford such a trip. In this case, space tourism is simply a
response to the market demand. Secondly, as commercial space tourism is a totally new
concept, it has huge potential and few competitors. This makes space tourism attractive to
investors who are willing to pour money in to explore the business potential.

Increased globalization would lead to an integration of economy among countries. People,

companies and organizations in different countries can live and work together. We can
exchange goods, money and ideas faster and cheaper than ever before. This integration
creates more job opportunities, which rescue people from unemployment and

Its true that every great entrepreneur is first and foremost a designer. The greatest thing
(Steve) Jobs designed was his business. Apple imagined and executed definite multi-year
plans to create new products and distribute them effectively. Ever since he started Apple in

Your favourite movie (IELTS Speaking Part 2)
Let me tell you about a film I watched recently, Matchpoint by Woody Allen, starring Scarlett
Johansson. The beginning is not very interesting/appealing; in fact, the first ten minutes was boring, but
after that, the film waslikemagic, it held me spellbound to the very end.
About the film, it's a complicated relationship between a man and two of his lovers. One he got married
with and became his wife. And another who was desperately in love with him but the affair was totally a
secret.
But there were twists which made the film unpredictable and made me love it. That was when the man
killed his secret lover, he was so consumed by the wealth of his wife's family. But after many twists and
turns, he went through all safe and sound, even when his crime was nearly discovered, he made a
unthinkable escape.
The film maker did a brilliant job in conveying a message of life and luck. Sometimes things happen,
and we need to accept it. It's just a matter of luck orbad luck. Like a line I learned from the film:
moments in a match when the ball hits the top of the net, and for a split second, it can either go forward
or fall back. With a little luck, it goes forward, and you win. Or maybe it doesn't, and you lose.

The most important life lesson Ive have learnt is
value today for what you have and for the opportunities it brings. Now is more precious
than you know and the future is less certain than you imagine.
My biggest regret is
that I was a little too focused and serious when I was a university student. If I had my
time again I would work a touch less, play a touch more, and been more educated as a
result.

Internet users can now see online advertisements which match their personal interests in
different ways. I believe the benefits of this trend are outstripped by its potential harms.

However, these advantages are eclipsed by foreseeable disadvantages. Firstly, there is a

very thin dividing line between targeted advertising and spamming. For instance, in
Vietnam today, if a person searches online for a specific apartment to buy, chances are
pop-up advertisements will appear in bulk to advertise other apartments which he or she
does not even want. In this case, users time is wasted and so is advertisers money. More
importantly, online consumers run the risk of damaging their health when buying and using
unreliable health-related products (e.g. diet pills or weight loss drugs) that they find online
via targeted advertising. Finally, children may be exposed to online advertisements which
match their personal interests rather than their age. For example, online games packed
with violence or sexual content can find their way to childrens computer screens only
because games were listed among their interests.

Task 2: Childrens education is expensive. In some countries, the government pay some of
or all of the costs. Do the advantages outweigh its disadvantages?
Body 2
Despite above considerations, I am convinced that supporting families in paying for their
children' education offers more good than bad. Firstly, this will promote the education-for-
all agenda and improve equality among school children. To explain, since many families
cannot afford to pay for their children's schooling, their children may not be able to go to
school without government's financial support. This leads to an inequality in access to
basic education that children have to experience from an early age. Furthermore,
governments' subsidies for children's education herald their far-sighted vision when they
invest in future generations. Since many talents can come from a poor background,
missing the opportunity to get them to school equals a missed opportunity to nurture a
talent who can make a great contribution to the country later on.

However, others also have reasons to believe that sex education should be included in the
primary school programme/curriculum. From an educators perspective, sex education is
no different from other academic subjects as it also provides the learner with necessary
knowledge. Since a child is taught to understand the bodies of many other species, he or
she should be given an equal chance to know their own bodies better. Furthermore, as
child molestation/sexual abuse becomes increasingly popular, it would be best if children
are taught to protect themselves. Taking this into account, self-defense against sexual
assault can be an element of sex education if it is integrated into the primary school
curriculum.

Enabled by highways/superhighways and public transport, employees of companies and
industries can avoid jams commuting to work while more green space can be created in
cities. More importantly, ports and main arteries which are often located nearer to the
outskirts of cities; therefore, the relocation helps boost business productivity because of
the eased process of supply and delivery. Last but not least, regional areas offer a
significantly larger space for building clusters and hubs. For example, in India, giant IT
service companies cluster in Bangalore outskirts to create their own Silicon Valley, more

However, I believe that poverty only makes people stronger. To begin with, poor people are
often left with no choice but to fight, be it a fight for hope or, simply, food. While unfortunate
people in rich countries can live on social security benefits, citizens of poorer countries
often have to work harder to survive. Furthermore, endless struggles can teach people
survival lessons that they normally do not find anywhere else. Japan offers an excellent
example of how poverty and sufferings were turned into dreams and aspirations when the
Japanese magically transformed their country into a superpower after the Second World
War. Last but not least, living in a poorer country, people are constantly required to change
and adapt as change and adaptability are exactly what it needs to get them out of poverty.
In contrast, living in a well developed society, people may feel complacent and less
motivated to strive for success.

Bi mu: ch Vertical or Horizontal City

Some people think that it is best to live in a vertical city (mean that people work and live in
high buildings) while others think a horizontal city is better. Discuss both view and give
your opinion.
A sample answer (275 words)

While many believe in vertical cities as the best choice for urban living, others think that a
city which is horizontally developed is much better. Although I agree with the latter position,
this essay will analyse both views.
There are reasons why many opt for vertical cities. To begin with, they feel a sense of
community when sharing a space with others. Further, many people now prefer living in a
home where everything is laid out on a single floor plan as they see managing an
apartment is less stressful than a house. Finally, many countries simply do not have space
to build horizontal cities. Singapore is a prime example; in this city state, people see high-
rises as an optimal option that marries the needs of both residence and green spaces.
However, I am convinced that horizontal city is better for a number of reasons. Firstly, this
way of urbanisation is more sustainable as it frees people from the stress of living in a
concrete jungle (i.e. a vertical city). Secondly, developing a horizontal city helps minimise
the level of destruction when a city is hit by manmade or natural disasters such as
September 11 attacks or earthquakes. Thirdly, if megacity and skyscrapers become
nothing but an obsession, it is certainly not a good trend. Environmentally speaking, this
trend poses an immense pressure on the world's increasingly scarce resources when
resources are consumed in massive amounts to power these glass walled buildings, let
alone the greenhouse gas emissions during the building process.
In conclusion, though developing vertical cities is an inevitable trend, I would campaign for
horizontal cities as a sustainable future for urban development.

A small number of languages have gained massive/widespread popularity in the world,
namely Chinese, English and Spanish while many others are dying. I believe this trend has
both negative and positive impacts.
Regarding positive effects, as fewer languages are spoken in more countries, international
communication is eased, which helps boost multilateral trade and cultural exchange. Time
for translation and interpretation activities is reduced and misinterpretations can be
avoided. Furthermore, by acquiring languages which are commonly used in business,
science and technology, researchers, academics and entrepreneurs from less developed
countries can accelerate the process of learning from more developed countries. For
example, Singapore and India achieved such incredible growth partly by making English
their official language.
Despite the benefits, this trend has potential drawbacks. It took a country thousands of
years to develop its own language, hence it is sad to see this integral part of a civilisation
disappear. If a Vietnamese person in the future has to resort to translation to understand
literary classics written in their own language, it would be a worst/pessimistic scenario as
they fail their own mother tongue. More importantly, cultural diversity will be lost altogether
with the disappearance of minority languages. Folk songs, for instance, can hardly survive
if future generations are no longer able to read the lyrics and understand their meanings.
In conclusion, though I believe the trend is inevitable in the era of globalisation, every
country needs to have measures in place to protect their cultural identity of which
language is an integral part.

bi: In recent years, more and more people tend to live individually. What are the
causes of this trend? Does this have a positive or negative effect on society?

Many people now choose to live individually, which I believe has only negative impacts on
the society. This essay will present some causes for this phenomenon before analysing the
negative influences.
First, as some traditional values of family and marriage have been lost, many do not see
the point of sharing lives. For example, family gatherings can be a burden rather than a
cherished present that life brings about. Second, many blame the hectic modern life. The
truth is that people today are just too busy to settle down with a family and all sorts of
responsibilities. Last but not least, thanks to the sharing frenzy on social networking sites,
many successful and seemingly happy individuals became much-trumpeted role models of
this lifestyle. As stories of their wonderful life go viral, many simply consider living a single
life a very fashionable choice.
I do not believe this trend is doing any good for the society as it pulls people away from
one another, weakening them psychologically long before they are aware of it. Now that
the concept of having a family fades away, people are more vulnerable than ever as they
have no home to return in times of sickness or hardships. If a person decides to become a
single parent, it is even worse as their child grows up without care and attention from both
parents. Finally, from a demographic perspective, the trend takes a toll on the development
of a countrys population as it slows down the process of producing new generations to
replace the dying or ageing generations.
Although individuals have every right to decide how they want to live their lives, I still
believe in family as a place to form the wholesomeness of a human being.

To begin with, almost everyone is attracted to famous people in different ways; within a
family a father may adore Lionel Messi while his daughter is crazy about Lady Gaga, never
wanting to miss any news about the Fame Monster. To some extent, it is acceptable to
glue to the TV box sometimes, watching the star world, if doing so helps one handle the
stress of school work. Further, many celebrities can be a source of inspiration for the
children as they exemplify remarkable efforts in life and work. Finally, celebrities have
seemingly become a popular topic in childrens conversations; failing to get updated can
mean failing to mix with other guys.
But the advantages as presented above sound trivial, compared with the disadvantages.
Everyone is given an equal share of time to spend per day; if a child spends more
watching news about celebrities, he or she will inevitably/unavoidably spend less doing
exercises and reading books. More importantly, celebrities-related news is often packed
with drugs, sex, other bad habits, which hardly/barely does any good for the children. Last
but not least, as they watch stars squander money in what seems to be an easy life, the
immature souls can be lured to risk everything to do the same. The Idols series provides a
79
very interesting example of how young people with zero singing talent are manipulated in
such a puppet show. In this case, reputation, or to be accurate, bad reputation will haunt
them, possibly for the rest of their lives.

Bi mu: ch Ngi gi
bi: Longer life spans and improvements in the health of older people suggest that
people over the age of sixty-five can continue to live full and active lives.
In what ways can society benefit from the contribution that older people can make?
Vit mu mt on Thn bi: on ny ni v nhng li ch ca vic ngi gi sng vui

sng khe.
As the elderly manage to live healthy lives, they will not become a burden on the social
welfare system. Firstly, it releases the pressure which would otherwise be put on a nations
health care system. More importantly, senior citizens are regarded as the living legacy of
wisdom and experience; therefore, the longer and healthier they live, the more they can
pass on to younger generations. In the medical profession, for example, a seasoned
surgical doctor would have a world of knowledge to share with younger colleagues though
he or she may not physically conduct operations after a certain age. Last but not least,
longer and healthier lives of the old people are the most powerful evidence of healthy
lifestyle, which helps inspire young people to do the same. To be more specific, in a family
of heavy drinker and chain smoker, their offspring could find it hard not to drink and smoke
as they may feel it natural to copy those bad habits. The opposite holds true to families of
which older generations set a better example.

Bi mu: ch Ti phm v thnh nin
bi: In many parts of the world, children and teenagers are committing more crimes.
Why is this happening? How should they be punished?
A sample intro + body 1

Juvenile delinquency has increased in many parts of the world. This essay will analyse
several causes for this and present some ways to deal with young offenders.
One of the most important reasons for the phenomenon is that children and teenagers are
now exposed to more bad contents than ever; sex and violence are excessive on
television, video games, films, online and print media. School shootings in the United
States, for example, have been blamed on the lax regulations on possession of personal
weapons. Another reason can be the lack of parental care, which results in a child feeling
lonely, upset and tempted to do something that can win his or her parents attention; in
many cases, doing something bad was sadly a choice. Last but not least, the
surrounding environment plays a very important role in honing a childs behaviour.
Therefore, growing up in a crime-ridden community, a child would find it natural to acquire
bad behaviours they have seen every day.
