ĐỀ 01

Read the following extract.

Some people believe that developments in the field of artificial intelligence will have a
positive impact on our lives in the near future. Others, by contrast, are worried that we are
not prepared for a world in which computers are more intelligent than humans.

Write an essay to an educated reader, to discuss the benefits and drawbacks of artificial
intelligence. Include reasons and any relevant examples to support your answer. You should
write at least 250 words. Your response will be evaluated in terms of Task Fulfillment,
Organization, Vocabulary and Grammar.
Answer

It is true that artificial intelligence has many positive and negative aspects that need
considering. In this essay, I am going to discuss some of the benefits of artificial intelligence
and then I will present some of its drawbacks.

On the one hand, it is obvious that artificial intelligence is beneficial in some ways.
One of the most appealing positives is that artificial intelligence helps improved safety by
reducing the likelihood of human errors. Our quality of life will increase steadily. For instance,
we already have cars with sensors and cameras that drive themselves, helping reduce traffic
accidents. Another plus point of artificial intelligence is that artificial intelligence can
do many jobs better than humans, especially in areas that require a high level of accuracy and
large amount of data. For example, robots can perform surgery more than a human doctor.

On the other hand, it is believed that artificial intelligence has some downsides. It is
quite reasonable to think on this side because artificial intelligence can replace workers in
various industrials. So, the unemployment rate can increase significantly. For example, self-
driving vehicles will make driving jobs redundant. Many lorry drivers, taxi drivers or bus drivers
will become jobless. Another concern is that artificial intelligence leads to make humans
lazy with its applications automating much of the work. Humans tend to be addicted to these
inventions which can cause problems for future generations.

To sum up, every coin has two sides. artificial intelligence has become more and
more popular. Therefore, its merits should be promoted. However, its downsides should be
condemned. From my point of view, I believe that its advantages outweigh its disadvantages.

Write an essay to an educated reader, to discuss the benefits and drawbacks of Extracurricular
activities. Include reasons and any relevant examples to support your answer. You should write
at least 250 words. Your response will be evaluated in terms of Task Fulfillment, Organization,
Vocabulary and Grammar.
Answer
These days, extracurricular activities have many positive and negative that need
considering. In this essay, I will discuss some of the reasons why extracurricular activities
are beneficial and some of the challenges to be overcome.

On the one hand, extracurricular activities have many benefits. The first one is that
taking part in extracurricular activities students can explore and develop their interests and
talents. For example, students can do what they are interested in such as joining a dancing club,
art club or a football club. So that they will develop their self-confidence and other skills such as
time management and problems-solving. The second merit is that extracurricular activities
enable students to improve their social lives. For instance, they can make more friends when
joining different clubs. And they will have a chance to broaden their relationships.
On the other hand, extracurricular activities cause some disadvantages. First of all,
taking part in extracurricular activities students may find it difficult to arrange time to both
study and do outdoor activities. Their academic performance can be negatively affected. In the
second place, taking part in extracurricular activities students have to pay extra money for
extracurricular activities. There are many expenses such as tuition fees, accommodation, learning
equipment and clothes that students have to pay. Paying for activities outdoor the class will be a
burden for some students, especially those from low-income families.
To sum up, there are both benefits and negatives of extracurricular activities.
Personally, I believe that the benefits of extracurricular activities outweigh its disadvantages.

Answer
These days, aging population has become one of the most pressing issues
that human beings have to face. In this essay, I will examine some of its effects and
then propose some solutions to tackle its problem.
The impacts of aging population can be severe and far-reaching. One of the
most significant effects of aging population is that it will increase the demand for
healthcare. For example, government have to spend more money improving their
healthcare system to meet the demand. Aging population can also have a long-
term impact on economic challenges. For instance, there will be more people at the
retirement age who are eligible to receive a pension. Governments will receive less
money in taxes in relation to the population size. Working adults will face greater
tax burdens.

động của nó và sau đó đề xuất một số giải

The reasons behind this issue are
various. One of the main causes of aging
population is increased life expectancy. For
example, advances in medicine and healthcare
systems have led to increase life expectancies.
quality of life has been improved. Another
factor leading to aging population is that the
low birth rate. For instance, women may have
a few babies than in the past. Both men and
women tend to stay single. They do not tend to
have a child in a relationship.
The impacts of aging population
can be severe and far-reaching. One of the
most significant effects of aging
population is that it will increase the
demand for healthcare. For example,
government have to spend more money
improving their healthcare system to meet
the demand. Aging population can also
have a long-term impact on economic
challenges. For instance, there will be
more people at the retirement age who are
eligible to receive a pension. Governments
will receive less money in taxes in relation
 to the population size. Working adults will
face greater tax burdens.

Những lý do đằng sau vấn đề này là
khác nhau. Một trong những nguyên nhân
chính dẫn đến già hóa dân số là tuổi thọ tăng
lên. Ví dụ, những tiến bộ trong y học và hệ
thống chăm sóc sức khoẻ đã làm tăng tuổi thọ.
chất lượng cuộc sống đã được cải thiện. Một
yếu tố khác dẫn đến dân số già là tỷ lệ sinh
thấp. Ví dụ, phụ nữ có thể sinh ít con hơn
trước. Cả đàn ông và phụ nữ đều có xu hướng
sống độc thân. Họ không có xu hướng có con
trong một mối quan hệ.
Tác động của dân số già có thể
nghiêm trọng và sâu rộng. Một trong
những tác động đáng kể nhất của dân số
già là nó sẽ làm tăng nhu cầu chăm sóc
sức khỏe. Chẳng hạn, chính phủ phải chi
nhiều tiền hơn để cải tiến hệ thống chăm
sóc sức khỏe của họ để đáp ứng nhu cầu.
Dân số già cũng có thể có tác động lâu dài
đến những thách thức kinh tế. Chẳng hạn,
sẽ có nhiều người ở độ tuổi nghỉ hưu đủ
điều kiện nhận lương hưu. Chính phủ sẽ
nhận được ít tiền thuế hơn so với quy mô
dân số. Người trưởng thành đang đi làm
sẽ phải đối mặt với gánh nặng thuế lớn
hơn.

Some actions should be taken to solve the problem of aging population. One of the
most effective measures is to increase the retirement age for working adults from 55 to 60
or 65. Thanks to a better healthcare and nutrition, people of those ages can be healthy
enough to continue working. Another practical method to tackle this issue is to provide
incentives for having children by reducing costs for childbearing and child rearing, and
extending maternity leave and paternity leave.

Cần thực hiện một số hành động để giải quyết vấn đề già hóa dân số. Một trong
những biện pháp hiệu quả nhất là tăng tuổi nghỉ hưu cho người trưởng thành đang đi làm
từ 55 lên 60 hoặc 65. Nhờ được chăm sóc sức khỏe và dinh dưỡng tốt hơn, người dân ở độ
tuổi đó có đủ sức khỏe để tiếp tục làm việc. Một phương pháp thiết thực khác để giải quyết
vấn đề này là khuyến khích việc sinh con bằng cách giảm chi phí sinh con và nuôi con,
đồng thời kéo dài thời gian nghỉ thai sản và nghỉ sinh con.

To sum up, aging population is a serious problem. It can arise from different
factors; however, actions should be taken immediately to mitigate its consequences.

Tóm lại, dân số già là một vấn đề nghiêm trọng. Nó có thể phát sinh từ nhiều yếu tố
khác nhau; tuy nhiên, cần phải thực hiện ngay các hành động để giảm thiểu hậu quả của
nó.

Answer

These days, air pollution has become one of the most pressing issues that
human beings have to face. In this essay, I will analyze the reasons behind this
issue and then propose some solutions to tackle its problem.
The reasons behind this issue are various. One of the main causes of air
pollution is industrial emissions from factories and plants. For example, these
factories relieve harmful pollutants into the air, such as CO2, SO2 and NO.
Another factor leading to air pollution is that burning fossil fuels. For instance, the
more cars hit the road, the worse the air quality. In addition, deforestation reduces
the number of trees to absorb CO2 and other pollutants.
Some actions should be taken to solve the problem of air pollution. One of
the most effective measures is that government should introduce laws to limit
emissions from factories or force companies to use renewable energies, such as
solar wind, or water power. Another practical method to tackle this issue is that
government should promote the use of electric vehicles, so that it can reduce the
emissions of harmful pollutants into the air.
To sum up, air pollution is a serious problem. It can arise from different factors;
