I have itchy feet, so I always have a detailed plan for the next holiday trip in mind.

This time, I am going to wait for my children’s summer vacation so that I can take the whole family on a trip
together. I am a family person and I love to travel with my loved ones. And, you know, summer won’t be complete
without sun tan and beach snapshots. Therefore, my destination must be a seaside city and Vinh Hy bay is my ideal
place. I have heard about this place a long time ago, a friend of mine highly recommended this place after her trip
there. It is known for natural scenic beauty and delicious fresh seafood at an affordable price.

I was curious, but couldn’t find time to travel there due to my tight working schedule. But this summer we are
going to make it. It’s only a 4-hour ride from our city to the bay, so I am going to go by bike, as if I were going
backpacking. One reason luring us to this place is that it’s a pristine island, which means it won’t be crowded with
tourists and the food here won’t be overpriced. Unlike other beaches which offer a variety of water sports like
canoeing, scuba-diving, water-skiing and skydiving, there will not be many activities to do in Vinh Hy bay apart
from sun-bathing and eating seafood. But this is going be a family time, and to me, spending time together is
already enough.

In case my children get bored, so I am going to bring some family games like UNO and castle-building tools to
enjoy time on the beach together. I am in dire need of this vacation as I want to escape from a stressful workload
and pressure from city life for a while with my kids and my spouse. Also, I think it is a good idea to reward my
children with a trip after studying hard throughout the school year

Từ vựng:

 Have itchy feet: have a desire to travel; don’t want to stay in one place.
 Destination: a place that you want to travel to.
 Natural scenic beauty: a beautiful landscape or view characterised by trees, flowers, hills and other natural
things.
 Pristine: picture perfect

Young people’s behaviour is often influenced by others in the same age group. Some argue that peer
pressure is important for personal growth, while other people feel that it has distinct disadvantages.
Discuss both views and state your opinion. Write between 250 and 300 words. (15 points)
Stress that peers have exerted on juveniles can be the main contributor to the changes in their demeanor.This
essay argues that the benefits are eclipsed by the drawbacks involved because such pressure, despite facilitating
behavioral and academic progress, can create detrimental impacts on adolescents’mental health.
The main advantage is that being influenced by those who belong to the same age group or social group could
play a crucial role in
reinforcing positive habits and attitudesin social and scholastic terms. Some may say that young people usually
take others, especially with whom they have close intimacy, as role models. Therefore, if peers can set a good
example for their counterparts, they will probably achieve improvement
in both academic and social aspects. For example, watching someone of the same age completing the Road to
Mount Olympia successfully promoted the desire to be more goal-oriented and fulfill one's own dream of such
intellectual accomplishment.
Nevertheless, I believe that the disadvantages of peer pressure are more significant because of mental issues
arising from this tendency. It is worth mentioning that the stress originating from comparison among children
would make them feel inferiorto others, which leads to the fear of expressing themselves as well as potential self-
distancing from family and friends. This can be an alarming issue as the worst consequence that may follow is
suicide. The dramatic increase in youth suicide in Japan can be a good illustration of this as it is recorded that in
2019, 70% of suicide was among men aged 20 - 44.
In conclusion, although peer pressure may be beneficial as an encouragement in promoting personal
development, paramount consideration should be taken into account towards the adverse influence, namely mental
problems.

Dear Sir or Madam,
My name is T.H, and I am a journalist for the Dân Trí Newspaper. I am researching for an article about the wind
farm off the coast of Ninh Thuận. I am writing to ask for more information about the project.
I would like to know how long the project is going to take. There are many unemployed people in Ninh Thuận, and
more jobs would help a lot. People would be happy to hear that the project will finish quickly, and jobs will be
available soon.

I would also appreciate you telling me about how electricity prices may change. The prices are very high here. It
would be great to report that the prices will decrease.
Finally, I would like to know about how the windmills will look. Ninh Thuận is a very beautiful town, and people
travel here for tourism. People want to know that the windfarm will not make fewer people want to travel here.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Dear Samantha,
I heard that you are having some problems communicating with other team members
at the company. I am writing to tell you that I completely understand what you are going
through and I hope I can help you with my advice.
I was in the exact position last year when I first started working at the company. My
communication styles were not compatible with my coworkers and most of the things I said
either got misunderstood or ignored. It was such an uncomfortable experience to me and I even
considered quitting the job.
However, I soon realised that the communication improved tremendously when I started
giving more specific examples while explaining my ideas and opinions. I also started using
concept checking questions to make sure that my message was successfully conveyed. I think
this method can also do wonders to you and I highly recommend that you give it a try.
I hope this helps and please keep me updated on the issue.

Many people believe that reading books is far more beneficial for children than watching
television or playing computer games. Personally, I completely agree with this opinion and will
analyze the issue in the following essay.
To begin with, children can better improve their imagination through reading books as
opposed to watching television or playing computer games. By reading stories, children have to
use their imagination to visualize(1) all the events described in the book. While reading, they
will create images, thoughts and opinions in their mind, and therefore enhance their imagination
and creativity(2). Meanwhile, this can hardly be the case for(3) watching television, as it already
provides the viewers with vibrant colourful images and sounds. Consequently, it is reasonable to
say that reading books helps to improve children’s imagination compared to watching television
or playing computer games.
Additionally, reading stories from a book also develops children’s verbal abilities(4)
more so than watching television or playing computer games. Children are exposed to a wide
range of vocabulary and sentence structures when reading, and therefore reading books can
provide great opportunities for children to advance their ability to(5) describe things, which leads
to better writing skills. Meanwhile, rather than text, sound and image are the two key elements(6)
of television and computer games, which does little to improve children’s vocabulary.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that the advantages of reading books far outweigh those of
watching television or playing computer games as this activity helps to enhance both imagination
and language ability.

These days, a large amount of advertising is aimed at children and some people feel that it should
be banned. While advertising can have several negative impacts on children, I believe it should
not be completely banned.

On the one hand, commercials aimed at children can have a detrimental impact, particularly on
the relationship between parents and their children. Many children are easily manipulated to
want things they see in advertisements, and this may cause conflicts between parents and
children if parents deny their children of something they want. In addition, advertising targeted at
children can have negative effects on their health, as many fast food and junk food companies
these days direct their marketing strategies towards children, making their products appear to be
healthy and appealing. Unfortunately, most children do not understand the concept of advertising
and are easily persuaded to purchase these unhealthy foods, and as a consequence, can be at risk
of many serious health issues, such as obesity and diabetes.

On the other hand, I feel that there should not be a ban on advertising aimed at children because
advertising is one of the key aspects of a prosperous economy. If bans were to be placed on
commercials, many companies would suffer from a decrease in sales and profits, which would
eventually affect unemployment rates and the economy. For example, Coca Cola provides
thousands of employment opportunities in advertising throughout its branches across different
regions around the world. If advertising was banned, a large number of workers, such as
marketers, may become unemployed, and as a result, the government will have to provide
temporary financial support for those unemployed people.

In conclusion, although advertising aimed at children may have certain negative impacts
regarding family relationships and health, imposing a prohibition on it is unreasonable.
