To begin with, many traditional customs are damage: gây ra những

modified for commercialization, and eventually
lose their originality and value. For example,
Vietnamese traditional dances such as the lion
dance, which were traditionally performed only
by martial artists during special occasions, are
now often poorly performed by amateurs at
tourist sites across the country. Such changes not
only give foreign visitors a false impression,
but can also make the dance less meaningful to
the local people(1). Also, many traditionally sacred
sites are heavily damaged by the irresponsible
behaviors of tourists. For instance, a well-known
Youtuber named Logan Paul visited Japan and
filmed himself dumping a bag of coins into a
sacred well, where people often drop coins for
luck, and did permanent damage to one of
Japan’s most famous iconic traditions(2).

ceramic products, and thus are able to continue
one of the oldest traditions in Vietnam. Secondly,
by putting cultural traditions on public display,
the government could heighten people’s
awareness of preserving these traditions(3). For
instance, the Vietnamese government has built
several museums around the country that solely
exhibit examples of ethnic minority cultures in an
attempt to protect cultural values without
affecting the lives of these ethnic people, yet
successfully gathering much public attention
and support.

In conclusion, using cultural traditions as money-


making attractions has both positive and
negative impacts on the preservation of such
traditions.

Câu (2): For instance, a well-known Youtuber named Logan Paul


recently visited Japan and filmed himself dumping a bag of coins into a

damage to one of Japan’s most famous iconic traditions.

 Cấu trúc cần lưu ý:

Từ nối ”for instance” được dùng khi người viết muốn đưa ra ví dụ minh hoạ
cho thông tin trước đó.

Từ “where” là trạng từ quan hệ chỉ nơi chốn. Ở trong câu này dùng để đưa
ra một thông tin thêm về cái giếng linh thiêng ở Nhật để nhấn mạnh sự

Cấu trúc “do permanent damage” mang nghĩa gây ra những tổn thương

Câu (3): Secondly, by putting cultural tradtions on public display,


governments could heighten people’s awareness of preserving these
traditions.

 Cấu trúc cần lưu ý:

Từ “secondly” là từ nối thường đường dùng để mở ý thứ hai trong bài.

However, several individuals advocate a later

reasons. It is believed that commencing school at

things via their parents at home. As a result, these
children will become more mature and integrate

Some people think that sports play an important role in the development
of society. Others think they are nothing more than a leisure activity.
Discuss both views and give your opinion. (Đề thi ngày 28/5/2020)

Bài mẫu
There are different views about how sports may
Physical nature: bản

understand why some people regard sports
purely as a recreational activity, I firmly believe Disparaging sport: coi

that sports are a significant contributor to a
healthy and affluent society. Life expectancy: tuổi

On the one hand, many think that sports have a
minor role in their lives because they tend to focus
on other aspects of life that they deem more
important. Many adults usually spend a large
proportion of their time working and earning
money; they only engage in activities that are of
physical nature during their free time. They may
think that playing sports consumes too much
time which can be better used for work. Another
reason for many people disparaging sports is
that they may not see the connection between
improving physical health and increasing mental
strength, preventing illness, and enjoying longer
life expectancy. This is perhaps because many
people still find it difficult to access the
knowledge about the benefits that sports can
bring to their lives.

On the other hand, I entirely agree with people


who consider sports to be a prominent factor in
the development of society. Playing sports
regularly is associated with better physical and
mental health and contributes to boosting

consequently, better career prospects. That is
why many successful business figures, no matter
how hectic their schedules may be, still adhere to
regular exercise routines. Another thing to point
out here is that the sports industry has been
generating tremendous financial wealth through
sports events. Those events also facilitate tourism
and commercial activities that lead to more
employment opportunities.

In conclusion, many people disregard sports


largely because they do not see the benefits of
playing sports in their lives. However, I side with
those who value sports as one driver of societal
development.

Cấu trúc câu
Câu (1): There is of course some mental conditioning needed, but
without strong legs, you cannot compete at a high level.

 Cấu trúc cần lưu ý:

Đây là một câu ghép được nối với nhau bởi từ 'but', trước 'but' cần có dấu
phẩy. Một số người học thường thiếu dấu phẩy trước từ nối này. Trong
câu ghép, tùy mục đích sử dụng, ngoài từ nối 'but', người viết có thể dùng
các từ nối khác thuộc nhóm FANBOYS như: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so.

Trong văn viết học thuật, từ phủ định của 'can' là 'cannot'.

'Do something at a high level', cụ thể: 'compete' hay 'work at a high level':
nghĩa là làm việc gì với một cường độ cao hơn, cần nhiều sức lực về thể
chất hoặc về tinh thần hơn.

Câu (2): For example, maintaining composure whilst being surrounded


by thousands of screaming fans when trying to kick the winning penalty
kick in a football match would be extremely difficult, and this is where
mental strength is highly important.

 Cấu trúc cần lưu ý:

Câu trên là một câu phức ghép, bao gồm hai mệnh đề độc lập được nối
với nhau qua từ nối ‘and’, cụ thể:

Mệnh đề độc lập thứ nhất: For example, maintaining composure whilst
being surrounded by thousands of screaming fans when trying to
kick the winning penalty kick in a football match would be extremely
difficult.

Mệnh đề độc lập thứ hai: this is where mental strength is highly
important.

Câu (3): Although physical strength and ability are highly important in
sports performance, mental strength and focus also play an important
role, particularly when it comes to elite athletes and high levels of
performance and competition.

 Cấu trúc cần lưu ý:

Cụm từ ‘when it comes to’ phải theo sau bởi một danh từ/ cụm danh từ:
mang nghĩa là khi đề cập đến vấn đề gì đó. Công thức tổng quát:

When it comes to + Danh từ/Cụm danh từ, Subject + Verb

Ví dụ:

When it comes to advertising, companies should be innovative.
