Write a paragraph about 130 -150 words to discuss the advantages AND/OR

disadvantages of living in a big city

1) Topic sentence

2) Advantages / Disadvantages

3) Concluding sentence

Nowadays, people tend to choose to live in the city instead of the countryside.
Therefore, I will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of living in the city in
this paragraph.

Living in the city has a lot of benefits. We will have many opportunities to
approach the developing science and technology. That means we will have more
job opportunities and expand our knowledge more easily. In addition, people have
the opportunity to receive the best possible healthcare and enjoy entertainment
options. Furthermore, the public transportation system in big cities is a good
alternative to driving and dealing with traffic and parking problems,…

However, urban life still has many shortcomings. A higher cost of living is the first
disadvantage that people often think of when considering moving to the city.
Additionally, pollution is the biggest problem in the city. There are many types of
pollution in cities such as air pollution, noise pollution, light pollution, water
pollution,… In particular, because many people want to rush to the city to find
jobs, they put pressure on food, water and a place to live.

In conclusion, although living in the city has many disadvantages, I believe that
many people want to live there because there are many opportunities for
development.
Write a paragraph about 130 - 150 words to describe the holiday you’ll never
forget

1) Topic sentence

2) When /where you went on this holiday/what you did

3) Concluding sentence (why you’ll never forget)

One of my most memorable vacations was a trip to Quang Ninh beach with my
family. At that time I was about 3 years old and it was also the first trip away in
my life. That journey lasted 3 weeks. It was the first time I experienced life in the
countryside of Northern Vietnam. I was able to see with my own eyes the lotus
pond, the bamboo fence at the beginning of the village, and the buffaloes... In
addition, I also ate lotus seeds and traditional dishes there. All of them were so
delicious and attractive. Moreover, that was also the first time I went to the beach
with my family and relatives. On that journey, it helped me get to know more
people and see a lot of beautiful sights. In particular, the village scene there was as
peaceful as in a painting of the homeland. Besides, the people there were
hospitable. That trip with my family made me happy and brought me many new
experiences. That's also the reason why I never forget that wonderful vacation.
