Question 1

l. Summarize the text using your own words

Every day new inventions are made which are making our lives easier and more comfortable.
Agriculture is totally different from the past because many advanced technologies are used in it.
Thanks to that, products achieve a higher output as well as quality than before. In the field of
transportation, innovation has made people’s lives more convenient. Crops can be transported
effortlessly from one place to another. Furthermore, people can quickly travel large distances in
a short time. This has increased human productivity and opened new educational and
employment opportunities. One of the evident advantages of the latest technology is that it has
virtually brought the world closer to each other. On the contrary, new developments are causing
numerous issues in contrast to advantages. However, current innovations have more cons than
pros.

2. Do you agree with the writer's views on the value of modern inventions

From my perspective, I strongly agree with the writer's views on the value of modern
inventions. Technological breakthroughs are critical for humanity's growth and improvement.
Every day, new inventions are created that make people's life easier. There are several reasons
to support my views. Firstly, the internet has made the world a global village. People can now

stay virtually connected with their friends and relatives, irrespective of geographic location.
Secondly, advancements in medicine have come as a boon for mankind. People are receiving
greater health-care options. Finally, innovations in the transport industry have made it easy and
fast to get from one place to another. Airplanes are a great example of this, we can travel to
various nations in a matter of hours utilizing them. In conclusion, it is impossible to dispute that
modern inventions have brought a lot of great value to humans.

3. How can technology change our lifestyle in the future? What can we do to lessen negative
side effects of technology?

Technology is growing by leaps and bounds. This list of current and future technologies
certainly has the potential to change our lifestyle even more. To begin with, modern technology
will greatly influence people’s way of entertainment. People can enjoy all sorts of activities at
home and without the need to splash out loads of money as they might when going out thanks to
new games consoles, computer technology, and high-speed broadband. Second, advancements
in technology will help improve almost every aspect of the home environment, including
household chores. Cleaning, washing clothes, cooking and much more work can be easily done
by modern machines and robots. Last but not least, people will spend most of their time on the
internet instead of relatives and friends. Therefore, lack of emotion is inevitable.

It is crucial to lessen the negative side effects of technology. In fact, whether technology is good
or bad totally depends on how people use it. We should use technology safely by keeping
personal information professional and limited. In addition, don't rely on technology but use it as
a tool to make life more convenient.

Question 2

Dear Jackson,

I’m sorry that I couldn’t respond to your email soon because of the different time zone. I’m very
happy to hear that you and your wife will visit Hanoi for the first time, therefore, I’m delighted
to introduce some interesting information about my capital as well as some travel tips.

I'm sure you did a lot of research about Hanoi when you chose it as your destination. So there
are a few pointers I'd like to share with you that you won't be able to find on Google. First and
foremost, you should bring plenty of warm clothing because the weather here is extremely cold.
Then, because traffic in Hanoi is extremely congested, you should rent a motorbike to move

around easily. Finally, you can employ an interpreter or utilize a virtual assistant like google
translate to eliminate communication problems caused by linguistic disparities.

Hanoi is famous for a lot of delicious and cheap street food. You will come across many street
food stalls and street vendors with the same quality of food as restaurants. Pho Thin, Bun Cha
Hang Quat, Vietnamese bread, and Trang Tien ice cream are must-try dishes when visiting
Hanoi. There are also many famous dishes, which I will send to you after you have arrived.

One of the nicest souvenirs from here is silk. Hanoi has the best silk village and textiles. Its
well-known Van Phuc silk village with a thousand years of history is where all the finest quality
silk is brought to life. Ao Dai, the beautiful tight-fitted dress with long stylish pants, has been
the national costume of Vietnam since the 18th century, is also a great choice, bearing the
imprint of Vietnam.

I wish you a pleasant trip to Hanoi.

Best regard

---Hết---
