In their professional and personal lives, humans will eventually encounter circumstances that require them
to take risks. In my perspective, hazardous actions might give decision-makers more advantages than
disadvantages.
Granted, risk-takers may face certain fundamental disadvantages. In terms of one's work life, such
hazardous decisions might end in financial failure. For instance, many recent grads are inclined to start
their enterprises instead of working for a particular organization. These people might fail to manage their
29
organizations and be saddled with bad debt due to a lack of work experience. In addition, individuals
might be penalized as of taking unnecessary risks in their personal life, such as pursuing the incorrect
career route. Some international school leavers take a gap year before pursuing collegiate education to
travel, which is considered a dangerous choice. This move might diminish their high school knowledge, a
prerequisite for college studies. Therefore, they may become disillusioned in education and refuse to return
to college, resulting in a flawed growth plan.
However, I believe the benefits of taking risks can exceed the negatives. Taking calculated risks can lead
to the discovery of unexpectedly profitable employment prospects. Bill Gate, the founder of Microsoft, has
made several adventurous decisions. Notably, the technological genius left Harvard University, an
exceptional educational institution for elite students, to build his own firm, which eventually became one
of the world's largest. This indicates that his bold action contributed to his massive success. A further
advantage of taking risks is that it equips an individual with fully developed abilities and competence. This
is based on the premise that individuals can only grow by leaving their comfort zone, leading to more
unthinkable life events and insights. Therefore, people may improve their lifestyles and become better
members of society.
In conclusion, colossal career options and the requisite life experience to take calculated chances might
exceed any potential disadvantages. (309 words)

To encounter something/ somebody: to meet somebody, or discover or experience something, especially

How often do you watch TV programmes about history now?

I used to spend a lot of time on watching history Buried in work: to spend all your time doing and
documentaries on TV, However, currently I watch thinking about a particular activity
history programmes just only twice a week
because I have been buried in work these days
What period of history would you like to learn more about?

Honestly, That’s a tough question, I love to learn Colonized: to send people to live in and govern
all period of history, but if I had to choose, I another country
would choose to learn about the Vietnam war Independent: not influenced or controlled in any
when Vietnam was colonized by the American way by other people, events, or things
because I want to know how Vietnam won the
war and be independent

I had been lived in a low-income neighbourhood Amiable: pleasant and friendly
before settled in a posh area. It was in the suburban The needy: poor people
area where the residential area was surrounded by low-income neighbourhood: means any
factories. As a consequence, People in this area household which has an income of 80 percent
suffered from bad air quality. However my neighbours or less of the area median

basic necessities for the needy. We spent a lot of time home

so lucky to live in that neighbourhood. Although I had building is where people live

from my perspective, they are the best neighbours that shelter and clothing
I have ever met.
Part 3
Neighbours
What sort of things can neighbours do to help each other?

From my point of view, I would say that, there are To give someone a hand: to help someone
plenty of ways to give our neighbourhood a Underprivileged: without the money,
hand. possessions, education, opportunities, etc. that the
Firstlly, people in are living in the same area can average person
support each other financially by donating money
to the underprivileged one
How well do people generally know their neighbours in your country?

Well, In Eastern Asia culture, particularly in Vietnam, Spectating: to watch an activity, especially
people do care about each other, especially when people a sports event, without taking part
living in the same neighbourhood. Due to the fact that Easy-going: relaxed and not easily upset or
the houses in Vietnam are quite close to each other, so worried
spectating another person’s action is quite easy. Open-minded: willing to consider ideas
Moreover, Vietnamese people are easy-going and open and opinions that are new or different to

How important do you think it is to have good neighbours?

From my perspective, I would say that, living in a Decent: socially acceptable or good

Lend an ear: to listen to someone with sympathy
Pessimistic: to listen to someone with sympathy
Facilities in cities
Which facilities are most important to people living in cities?

As far as I see, one of the most essential Essential: important
amenities is the parking lot. It is due to the fact Amenities: something, such as a swimming pool
that the number of vehicles is increasing day by or shopping centre, that is intended to make life
day, as a result, traffic congestion is getting worse more pleasant or comfortable for the people in a
town, hotel, or other place
Congestion: a situation in which a place is too
blocked or crowded, causing difficulties
How does shopping in small local shops differ from shopping in large city centre shops?
From my point of view, I would say that shopping Tremendously: to a very great amount or level,
in a rural area is tremendously different from or extremely well
shopping in a mall for these reasons. First of all, Downtown: in or to the central part of a city
Downtown shops will have better service by Warranty: a written promise from a company to

Do you think that children should always go to the school nearest to where they live?
As a student, I think it is not necessary for children benefit from: If you benefit from something or
to go to the school that is closest to where they are if it benefits you, it helps you or improves your

So first of all,
I’m not sure
how much
information we
should include
in our reviews.
GEMMA:
Right. Well, I
don’t think we
need to
describe what
happens.
Especially as
Romeo and
Juliet is one of
Shakespeare’s
most well-
known plays.
ED: Yeah,
everyone
knows the
story. In an
essay we’d
focus on the
poetry and
Shakespeare’s
use of imagery
etc., but that
isn’t really
relevant in a

43
supposed to
focus on how
effective this
particular
production is.
GEMMA:
Mmm. We
should say
what made it a
success or a
failure.
ED: And part

of that means
talking about
the emotional
impact the
performance
had on us. I
think that’s
important.
GEMMA:
Yes. And we
should
definitely
mention how
well the
director
handled
important bits
of the play –
like when
Romeo climbs
onto Juliet’s
balcony.
ED: And the

fight between
Mercutio and
Tybalt.

Yes. It would
also be
interesting to
mention the

• Tiền từ tất cả các nguồn cung cho ngân sách cảnh sát đều tăng.
• Nguồn cung từ chính phủ là cao nhất.
Biểu đồ hai

Đoạn detail 1: Biểu đồ 1: Nguồn thu cho ngân sách
• Đóng góp đáng kể nhất cho ngân sách cảnh sát là từ chính phủ quốc gia trong hai năm,
175,5 triệu bảng trong năm 2017 và 177,8 triệu bảng vào năm 2018.
• Tương tự, số liêu cho “thuế địa phương” bắt đầu ở mức 91,2 triệu bảng, sau đó tăng lên
102,3 triệu bảng.
• Các nguồn khác, chẳng hạn như trợ cấp, chứng kiến một bước nhảy vọt nhẹ từ 38 triệu
bảng lên 38,5 triệu bảng.

Regarding the table, the most significant contribution to the police budget was from the national
government in two years, 175.5 million pounds in 2017 and 177.8 million pounds in 2018. Similarly,
the “local taxes” figure started at 91.2 million pounds, after which it rose to 102.3 million pounds.

Today's society has witnessed a significant increase in children's smartphone usage. I believe such a
predisposition is the repercussion of the low prices of the devices and lack of parental interaction and
can be a negative development.
Competitive market prices of smartphones can be the first attribution to the high frequency of children's
daily smartphone use. This is predicated on the fact that the technological and gadget industry have
drastically developed, leading to increasingly intense competition amongst veterans and new entrants.
These companies launch new products continuously at reasonable prices to compete with their rivals and
attract as many customers as possible. Therefore, parents and children can easily afford their smartphones
with a modest budget. Another reason is the limited family interaction for young children. Modern parents
are usually occupied with work to pay household bills, rendering them constantly busy. Therefore, they
68
tend to give their offspring smartphones to entertain, resulting in their children's addiction to smartphones
and using such gadgets more frequently.
I would opine that the development is harmful as it can impact children's health and schooling. Daily
exposure to smartphones can cause many illnesses, especially in children. This is because smartphones are
scientifically proven to transmit harmful radiation and light, potentially undermining children's memory
and vision. In addition, wandering on their phones every day could worsen their study. Millions of available
video games, social apps, and cyber relationships appeal to youngsters and occupy a disproportionate
amount of their time. This renders them less focused on their study, leading to a potential poor academic
performance.
To conclude, the affordability of smartphones and the shortage of interaction with parents are the primary
cause of children spending hours and hours with their smartphones, making them unhealthy and less
concentrated on school matters. (292 words)
Useful Vocabulary

To transmit: to send an electronic signal, radio or television broadcast, etc.
To be occupied with something: To be very busy with something
Rival (n): a person, company or thing that competes with another in sport, business, etc.
Predisposition (n): (to/towards something) | predisposition (to do something) a condition that makes
somebody/something likely to behave in a particular way or to have a particular illness

Whether competent professionals should be required to work where they received their first training or
have the freedom to work elsewhere has been the subject of several discussions. Everyone should be
allowed to pick their nation of the profession, in my opinion.
Opponents of this practice argue that professionals owe a debt of gratitude to the site where they received
their education. Professionals as diverse as physicians, engineers, and educators depended heavily on local
government and educational resources at some time in their careers. Therefore, it is natural for talented
people to stay in the same nation and offer their abilities to improve society. For instance, a doctor who has
benefitted from excellent schools and government funding might be invited to assist their fellow citizens
in the United States.
However, the freedom to select one's place of employment and residence is fundamental. As a result of
the likelihood that many professionals will stay in the location where they received their training, this is
seldom a severe issue in the majority of countries. Given this fact, employees' mobility and choice of the
living environment should not be limited. Those relocating to a new location will likely need to validate
their qualifications and certifications and get familiar with the nuances of operating in a new country.
These are unique obstacles and should not be utilized as standard counter-arguments. Preventing persons
from working in other nations would also significantly hinder the worldwide exchange of knowledge and
culture.
In conclusion, notwithstanding the need to meet specific requirements, all professionals should be permitted
to work overseas. This policy is already in effect for the majority of vocations. (272 words)

Writing Task 2

Mở bài: Giải thích về Y học thay thế ( Alternative medicine), viết lại đề bài và khẳng định đây là phương
pháp chưa bệnh tiêu cực
Thân bài 1: Một trong những lợi ích của y học thay thế là rẻ hơn so với việc gặp bác sĩ truyền thống. Tuy
nhiên nếu chữa sai cách sẻ gặp tác dụng ngược lại
Luận điểm: Dùng phương pháp Y học thay thế có thể tiết kiệm được tiền
- Ví dụ: Phương pháp châm cứu tốn ít tiền hơn so với chi phí thăm khám và kê đơn của bác sĩ tốt ở Việt
Nam.
Phản đề: Phương pháp này chưa được giới khoa học công nhận nhiều trên thế giới về sự đảm bảo về kết
quả chửa bệnh. Suy ra, chưa chắc đã có lợi về tài chính nếu bệnh nhân không khỏi
Thân bài 2: Phương pháp Y học thay thế có thể gây ra những tác dụng phụ nguy hiểm
Câu chủ đề: Phương pháp Y học thay thế có thể gây ra những tác dụng phụ nguy hiểm
- Ví dụ: Nhiều người dùng các loại thảo dược để chưa bệnh thông thường cũng như bệnh ung thư. Tuy
nhiên các loại thảo dược dễ bị nhầm lẫn cũng như gây ra các triệu chứng như dị ứng, kinh nguyệt không ổn
định, suy nhược cơ thể.
- Chốt lại: Nhiều người bệnh tình càng ngày càng nặng
Kết luận: Phương pháp trên không tối ưu và bệnh nhân nên đi gặp bác sĩ nếu có bệnh.

Alternative medicines are described as new approaches to medical treatment instead of mainstream ones,
such as chiropractic medicine or energy therapies, and an increasing number of patients would rather
139
such methods than visiting doctors. I would opine that predisposition is rather hazardous than beneficial to
the users.
Granted, some may prefer alternative treatments thanks to their relatively cheap expense compared to
traditional methods. For example, an acupuncture experience costs significantly less in Vietnam than a
consultation and prescription from a well-trained and experienced doctor. Therefore, many would attempt
the former medicines for the sake of financial benefits. Nevertheless, this action can potentially cause a
counterproductive effect. Complementary medicines are often not scientifically proven to alleviate or
solve a person’s illness, leading to unclear results. Therefore, the amount of money spent on complementary
medicines would not be guaranteed and can be wasted.
Another line of reasoning to explain why alternative medicines are disadvantageous is their probable side
effects. For example, herbal medicine, a currently famous method, is used by many patients to cure
common diseases, such as fever to chronic illnesses, such as cancer. Besides their outstanding functions in
Eastern medicine, herbs usually cause allergy, premenstrual syndrome, and chronic fatigue if not
properly used. Noticeably, there are several victims whose illnesses become aggravated after using such a
medical approach without instruction from the doctor. Therefore, the pursuit of alternative treatment
would adversely impact the practitioners given that they defy the intervention of doctors.
In conclusion, despite some advocacies of alternative treatments, I believe that the medical approaches
would be harmful regarding financial and health uncertainty. (264 words)
Useful vocabulary:
Herbal Medicine: Products made from botanicals, or plants, that are used to treat diseases or to maintain
health
Energy Therapies: A form of complementary and alternative medicine based on the belief that a vital
energy flows through the human body.
Chiropractic Medicine: is based on the link between the alignment of the spine and the function of the
body
Acupuncture: involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body
Alternative medicine= Complementary medicine: is a term that describes medical treatments that are
used instead of traditional (mainstream) therapies. Some people also refer to it as “integrative,” or
“complementary” medicine.
Prescription: the act of prescribing medicine
Allergy: a medical condition that causes you to react badly or feel ill when you eat or touch a particular
substance
Premenstrual syndrome: has a wide variety of signs and symptoms, including mood swings, tender
breasts, food cravings, fatigue
Chronic fatigue: a complicated disorder characterized by extreme fatigue that lasts for at least six months
and that can't be fully explained by an underlying medical condition
