CÂU TRẢ LỜI MẪU 1

In some countries young people are encouraged to work or travel for a year
between finishing high school and starting university studies.

Discuss the advantages and disadvantages for young people who decided to do
this.

Before embarking on college many young people are advised that a year
working or travelling may be a good option. This essay will suggest that saving
money is the biggest advantage of this and a reduced motivation to study is the
primary disadvantage.

Third level education is very expensive and lots of students decide to work for
12 months and save up money before they begin their studies. This allows them
to pay for their living costs, tuition fees and accommodation and focus on their
studies, rather than struggle financially or have to get a part time job on top of
their academic work. The Times recently reported that the average student at a
UK university requires over $12,000 per annum just to survive and many drop
out because they cannot afford to stay.

Despite these advantages, many students often get used to working or travelling
and don’t want to return to a life of study after a year off. This short term view
can cause some to bypass university altogether and go straight into a job that is
beneath their capabilities or may not offer the same prospects their future career
might have done. For instance, a recent survey by the British Government found
that 26% of students who take a gap-year never enter tertiary education.

In conclusion, taking a break from studies can be advantageous if it allows

people to gather up savings, however, they should also be careful that it does not
lead to disillusionment with education altogether.
BÀI 3 :

Some students work while studying. Discuss the advantages and

disadvantages of this trend and give your opinion?

There are lots of youngsters who work part time while they are still at school.
Working part-time early on helps students to gain real world experiences but this
also prevent them from getting involved in various extra-curricular activities at
school. This essay explores the advantages and disadvantages of working part
time.

Working while in high school offers various advantages to the students. They
gain real world experiences very early on and learn how to manage the time
between work and school, which is a very important skill to master for future
successes. The exposure to the workplace helps them build their character and
discover their strengths. Working outside gives them an opportunity to meet
with various people and handle difficult circumstances.

On the flip side, there are an equal number of disadvantages to working part
time. Working part time means students have to manage both work and studies.
This may hurt their focus and affect their performance. For example, they might
have an important exam at school and a stressful situation at work
simultaneously. In such situations it becomes very hard to concentrate on either
of them. By contrast, a student who does not work part time is more likely to do
better in their exam. Students who work also regularly miss out on various extra-
curricular activities or playtime with friends. These can impact social bonding
with their peers.

To conclude, working while studying definitely has advantages that help

students to succeed in life; however, these children also miss out on a lot of
activities that their peers engage in. It is recommended that children should
understand both sides of the situation before choosing to work while they are
still at school.
