1. As well as making money, businesses also have social responsibilities. To what
extent do you agree or disagree?

INTRO

Vi t m bài 2
 [1] Businesses have always sought to make a profit, but it is becoming
increasingly common to hear people talk about the social obligations that
companies have. I completely agree with the idea that businesses should do
more for society than simply make money.
[2] I will never forget the time a major clothing retailer was exposed for using
child labor in their factories. This scandal demonstrated to me that businesses
cannot operate solely for profit - they also have a social responsibility. There is
an ongoing debate surrounding the extent to which companies should prioritize
profits versus ethical obligations. While some argue that generating revenue
should be the prime goal of any enterprise, I believe businesses must also fulfill
certain social duties.
[3] In recent years, public pressure has been mounting globally for corporations
to move beyond just making profits and fulfill social responsibilities as well. Some
argue that maximizing shareholder returns should remain the prime goal of any
business enterprise. From my perspective, while revenue generation is
important, businesses must balance this with fulfilling certain social
responsibilities in today’s world.

2. In many countries, a small number of people earn extremely high salaries. Some
people believe that this is good for the country, but others think that governments
should not allow salaries above a certain level. Discuss both these views and give
your own opinion.

INTRO
[1] People have different views about whether governments should introduce a
maximum wage. While in some ways it may seem reasonable to allow people to
earn as much as companies are willing to pay, I personally believe that employee
remuneration should be capped at a certain level.
[2] The issue of executive pay and income inequality has become a hotly
contested topic in many nations. Some argue that extremely high incomes are
good for driving economic growth. However, others believe it is unethical for a
few to earn exponentially more than average. From my perspective, excessive
pay disparities are detrimental for society and reasonable restrictions may be
warranted.

3. In some countries, many more people are choosing to live alone nowadays than
in the past. Do you think this is a positive or negative development?

INTRO

Vi t m bài 3
 [1] In recent years it has become far more normal for people to live alone,
particularly in large cities in the developed world. In my opinion, this trend could
have both positive and negative consequences in equal measure.

[2] "No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a
part of the main." The famous words of poet John Donne underline the human
need for connection. However, in recent decades, there has been a shift with
more people than ever before choosing to live alone. In my perspective, the
impacts of rising single-person households are complex, though policies
strengthening communities may help mitigate potential alienation.

4. More and more people are migrating to cities in search of a better life, but city life
can be extremely difficult. Explain some of the difficulties of living in a city. How can
governments make urban life better for everyone?

INTRO

[1] Cities are often seen as places of opportunity, but there are also some major
drawbacks of living in a large metropolis. In my opinion, governments could do
much more to improve city life for the average inhabitant.

[2] Many envision city life as glamorous and full of opportunities. However, the
reality for most urban dwellers worldwide involves myriad difficulties. This essay
will discuss some of the main troubles faced in cities and potential measures to
alleviate problems.

5. News editors decide what to broadcast on television and what to print in

newspapers. What factors do you think influence these decisions? Do we become
used to bad news, and would it be better if more good news was reported?

INTRO
It is true that editors have to make difficult decisions about which news stories
they broadcast or publish, and their choices are no doubt influenced by a variety
of factors. In my opinion, we are exposed to too much bad news, and I would
welcome a greater emphasis on good news.

6. Colleges and universities should abolish tuition and accept students regardless
of their background. To what extent do you agree or disagree.

INTRO

Over the past several decades, countries around the world, especially the United
States, have seen rising tuition rates that have dramatically impacted the
financial health of millions of students. The prompt attempts to address this issue

Vi t m bài 4
 by proposing that tuition be free for all students entering university and college. I
mostly agree with this position for two reasons, but I do concede that the policy’s
exorbitant costs are sure to be an issue.

1. Increasing travels between countries enable people to learn different cultures or
to increase tension between people from different countries?

Intro

The dramatic increase in transnational travel in recent years has sparked

controversy over the potential impacts of this trend on individual countries,
especially those new member states of globalisation. Some people are
concerned that the upsurge in new arrivals will promote local hostility against
visitors, instead of promoting their understanding on mutual cultural background.
This notion should be rejected as one can see many facts in favour of this
development between countries.

2. When international media (including movies, fashion shows, advertisements and

other TV programmes) convey the same messages to the global audience,
people argue that the expansion of international media has negative impacts on
cultural diversity. What is your opinion?.

Intro

As international media companies expand across the world, the growing

popularity and uniformity of some media programmes (such as TV shows,
movies, fashion shows) is causing worldwide concern. Many people have strong
views toward this trend. In my opinion, international media is closely linked to
cultural globalisation and cultural homogeneity

 3. There is a disagreement on the impact of increased business and culture contact
between countries on a country’s identity. What is your opinion? .

Intro
One of the most conspicuous trends in the 21st century is a closer connection
between countries, in both economic and cultural aspects. There is a widespread
worry that this will lead to the gradual demise of countries’ identities. This issue
should be viewed and analysed from multiple perspectives.

4. Some people believe that culture will be ruined if it is used to earn tourism
revenue, but others consider that tourism is the only way of protecting a culture.
Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.

Intro

There is little room for doubt that tourism is one of the fastest-growing industries
in the world. However, its impact on culture remains a source of constant debate.
This essay will elaborate on both positive and negative effects of tourism from a
cultural perspective.

5. Some people argue that immigrants should adopt the local culture when
immigrating to a new country. An alternative view is that they can adapt to a new
environment by establishing a minority community. Discuss these two views and
give your opinion.

Intro
The world in the 21st century is marked by high population mobility. When an
increasing number of people have chosen to leave their motherlands and resettle
in a new country, they are at crossroads whether to blend in with the local culture
or to cherish their own cultural heritages by establishing a minority community. In
my opinion, the convergence of different cultures does not require one culture to
yield to another.

6. Aircrafts have been increasingly used to transport fruits and vegetables to some
countries where such plants hardly grow or are out of season. Some people
consider it a good trend, but some people oppose it. Discuss both views and give
your opinion.

Intro
There has been a steady increase in the demand for imports throughout the
world in recent years, including those perishable items, such as fruits and
vegetables. Despite the boom in this business, importing agricultural products is

Vi t m bài 6
 very often criticised as unnecessary and extravagant, especially when air freight
is involved. The criticism was correct in the past, but at the present time, there
are indications that this trade activity has brought various benefits.

7. Millions of dollars are spent on space research every year. Some people argue
that the money should be spent on improving living standards on Earth. Do you
agree or disagree?

Intro

In recent years, there have been more and more countries involved and
interested in long-term space projects. Because of the enormous research
expenditures incurred, the value of space projects has been disputed. Some
people suggest that government funding should be diverted toward improving the
living standard of ordinary people. In evaluating the merits of space ambition,
one should adopt a broader perspective. The investment in space research can
be paid off someday in the future.

8. Space travel to the Moon is often cited as one giant leap for mankind. Yet some
people argue that this achievement made little difference to our daily lives. What
is your opinion?

Intro
The idea of travelling through space, even living and working on other planets,
has fascinated people for centuries. Despite numerous setbacks and daunting
expenditures, travelling in the outer space has never failed to attract people’s
attention and provoke controversy. Sixty years after the first Moon landing,
people question whether die feat, previously thought of as a giant leap for
mankind, has substantially benefited people’s lives. In my opinion, landing on the
Moon has enormous relevance for the quality of life, albeit not always explicit.

9. Some people argue that the government should spend money on public services
and facilities, but not on the arts. Do you agree or disagree?

Intro
The role of arts in modern life is unique, providing people with entertainment and
yielding various psychological rewards, such as relief from stress. Despite these
benefits, the arts have been taken as luxury goods in many cases. It is
suggested that public money of a city should be concentrated in projects like
public facilities, which are more likely to bring immediate benefits to the public,
rather than the arts. There are a number of facts indicating that this position is
right.

 10. Some people argue that the government should spend money only on medical
care and education but not on theatres or sport stadiums. Do you agree or
disagree?

Intro

Where public money goes is an issue of broad interest to the general public.
Some people advocate that the government should fund the sectors that bring
tangible and immediate benefits to the public, such as medical care and
educational systems, while opponents suggest that those large urban
developments, such as stadiums and theatres, are worth government funding. In
my opinion, the possibility remains that the two opinions can be reconciled and
the government can coordinate budgeting to meet the needs of both.
