Task 2 :

I. Cause – (effect, solution)

[TOPIC], a pressing global issue that includes Vietnam, is the subject of the ensuing discourse, where I
will explore its primary causes and (propose potential remedies (solution) / potential effects (effect) ).

To commence with, the main cause related to deforestation is [REASON 1]. The reason for this is that
[EXPLAIN REASON 1]. In addition, another undeniable cause is [REASON 2].[EXPLAIN REASON 2]. Another
factor which contribute to [TOPIC] is [REASON 3]. [EXPLAIN REASON 3]

There are many short- and long-term effects that deforestation may have. The first effect of [TOPIC] is a
significant contributor to the [EFFECT 1].[DETAIL OF EFFECT 1]. Furthermore, another result of [TOPIC] is
[EFFECT 2]. [DETAIL OF EFFECT 2]

In my opinion, the best approach to overcome [TOPIC] is that [SOLUTION 1]. For example, [DETAILS OF
SOLUTION 1]. Furthermore, [SOLUTION 2]. For instance, [DETAILS OF SOLUTION 2]. Besides, [SOLUTION
3].

To conclude, [TOPIC] has become a crucial part of our lives. It has now been shown that the main causes
related to [TOPIC] are [REASON 1], [REASON 2], [REASON 3] (and it results in [EFFECT 1], [EFFECT 2],
[EFFECT 3]. Personally, I believe that society in general and each individual should take some action to
deal with the problem as soon as it emerges.), (but the best solution to overcome that is [SOLUTION 1],
SOLUTION 2], [SOLUTION 3]) The anticipation is that this trend will persist in its upward trajectory in
the times to come. )
II. Opinion
In contemporary society, the necessity of [OPINION 1] or [OPINION 2], a topic of increasing

discussion globally and notably in Vietnam, is under scrutiny. The question of whether

[OPINION2 which agree or disagree] is a subject of widespread debate Personally, I strongly

[agree, disagree] with that opinion. This essay will provide some reasons and relevant

examples to support my arguments.

First and foremost, it should be recognized that [REASON 1].[EXPLAIN 1]. Therefore,

[REASON 2]. One example that supports this view is that [EXPLAIN 2]. This clearly

demonstrates that [TOPIC] has a positive impact on (students' career pathways.)

Another interesting point is that [REASON 1 ><]. This is because of the fact that [EXPLAIN 1

><]. Therefore,[DETAIL ><] . For instance, [EXPLAIN ><]. This evidence suggests that

[OPINION 1] ,[DETAIL <> ]

In conclusion, this discourse posits that the benefits of [OPINION 1] are manifold. Nonetheless,

every scenario has its dichotomies, and this context is no different. Consequently, the judicious

utilization of [OPINION 1] ought to be advocated, while any misuse should be unequivocally

denounced

II. Advantage, Disadvantage

Engaging in [TOPIC] has emerged as a pivotal aspect of the escalating discourse in today’s world,
inclusive of Vietnam. While some factions champion the benefits of this [TOPIC], others
vehemently oppose it, citing potential detriments. This essay will delve into the merits and
demerits of this circumstance and subsequently formulate a conclusion.

Another good point would be that [ADVAN 2]. Thirdly, [ADVAN 3].

On the other hand, critics may point out that one of the most significant disadvantages of

[TOPIC] that [DISADVAN 1]. Another problem is [DISADVAN 2]

of [TOPIC] has become an integral facet of our existence. Consequently, the judicious
