In this age of massive media coverage, the media is believed to media coverage: Độ

One of the primary reasons, in my view, is the disproportionate profound (adj): sâu
reporting of disheartening news on various media platforms that sắc
can arouse negative emotions in viewers. The majority of these

which explains why these news stories tend to be over-reported (adj): không cân đối,

these traumatic events, it is only natural for the viewership to take
a gloomy view of the world around them. Over time, this could disheartening news:

More heartening stories, therefore, deserve wider coverage. The sensational news:
main justification is, as opposed to bad news, good news can tin giật gân (giật tít)
evoke positive emotions, and these sentiments, however subtle,

It is indisputable that international tourism is now one of the TỪ VỰNG

leading businesses in the world. Some people, however, put indisputable (adj):
forward the view that this development would heighten the không thể bàn cãi
existing friction between people from different cultural
backgrounds. I disagree with this view for the following reasons. leading businesses:
doanh nghiệp đi đầu
The first one is that even though there are culture clashes when
people from different countries come into contact, these clashes friction (n): xích mích,
can be resolved with ease, and are therefore likely to have no mâu thuẫn
detrimental impact. Most, if not all, of these incidents result from
cross-cultural misunderstandings, which can be attributed cross-cultural
more to a lack of pre-departure research about the host misunderstandings:
country than to deliberate disregard. Even with some research hiểu nhầm giữa các
done, it would still be challenging for tourists to grasp every nền văn hóa
intrinsic element of a well-established culture. Their failure to
conform to these sorts of cultural norms, as a result, can be pre-departure
empathized with. It is also sometimes suggested that since research: nghiên cứu
tourists come and go, their stay at the home country is just trước khi khởi hành
temporary, which means any offence made by tourists would
then be forgotten and would not be taken too seriously. offence (n): sự xúc
phạm
Another significant reason is that cross-border tourism is more
likely to foster harmony between people from different cultural cross-border
roots. First-hand experience with a culture would render a tourism: du lịch nước
more holistic and unbiased view towards its people, which ngoài
may be far from what we are often led to believe by the mass
media. For example, upon making a visit to Vietnam, many

21
American tourists are astonished by the warm hospitality of the First-hand

locals, who, to some individuals’ misconception, should be experience: trải
bearing a grudge over their war enemies in the past. Another nghiệm thực tế
illustration is a visit to a mosque would enlighten foreign tourists
about the good cause of Islam, which is sometimes mistaken as holistic and unbiased
extremism. view: cái nhìn tổng thể
và không phiến diện
To conclude, although conflicts as a result of inter-country
tourism do exist, they can be successfully managed, and more bearing a grudge: ôm
often than not, international tourism is a contributing factor to an mối thù (để trong lòng)
enhanced understanding of people from different cultures.

In many parts of the world, economic development has been of TỪ VỰNG

great importance in solving famine and raising living famine (n): nạn đói
standards. While some people believe that the economic
progress itself could eventually put an end to poverty and living standards: điều
hunger, others are more wary of the associated threats posed kiện sống
to the environment. This essay will discuss both sides of the
argument before a conclusion is drawn. put an end to
poverty: chấm dứt đói
On the one hand, it is true that economic development has a nghèo
crucial part to play in eliminating famine and poverty. A strong
economy, at its simplest, means a high employment rate for wary (adj): thận trọng,
the people, which provides them with a good income to feed đề phòng, cảnh giác
themselves and their families. In the long run, as the economy
thrives, living conditions can be improved, and people will no employment rate: tỷ
longer suffer from the lack of basic necessities. This can be lệ người lao động có
seen in the case of Viet Nam, an under-developed country in việc làm
Asia in the early 2000s. After joining the WTO in 2007, the
country’s economy was given a strong boost from trading goods economy thrives: nền
and services with many more developed countries, which lead kinh tế phát triển
to the people’s living standards being greatly raised and millions

Nevertheless, economic progress is probably not the solely way dùng thiết yếu
to fight poverty as there remain other alternatives such as
investing in the education system or encouraging poor people to under-developed

On the other hand, the side effects that an economy developing industrial wastes: rác

industries and factories are needed to produce goods, the
discharge of industrial wastes of various kinds would soar the degradation of

habitats such as rivers, the seas and air. Another major threat suy tàn của môi trường
is over-exploitation of natural resources for industrial purposes, sống tự nhiên
which could lead to irreversible damage to the ecosystem
since some species may never recover and develop. Therefore, irreversible damage:

laws regarding industrial activities in order to protect the sửa chữa, bù đắp

My opinion is that there must be harmony between the luật nghiêm khắc hơn
environment and the proliferation of economic activities. Despite
the obvious benefits that a strong economy could bring about in
terms of solving the issue of poverty and raising people’s living
conditions, I do not believe that it can make up for the
environmental consequences mentioned above.
