Bài 1: Nowadays the way many people interact with each other has changed
because of technology. In what ways has technology affected the types of
relationships that people make? Has this been a positive or negative
development?
It is true that new technologies have had an influence on communication
between people. Technology has affected relationships in various ways, and in
my opinion there are both positive and negative effects.
Technology has had an impact on relationships in business, education and
social life. Firstly, telephones and the Internet allow business people in different
countries to interact without ever meeting each other. Secondly, services like
Skype create new possibilities for relationships between students and teachers.
For example, a student can now take video lessons with a teacher in a different
city or country. Finally, many people use social networks, like Facebook, to
make new friends and find people who share common interests, and they interact
through their computers rather than face to face.
On the one hand, these developments can be extremely positive. Cooperation
between people in different countries was much more difficult when
communication was limited to written letters or telegrams. Nowadays,
interactions by email, phone or video are almost as good as face-to-face
meetings, and many of us benefit from these interactions, either in work or
social contexts. On the other hand, the availability of new communication
technologies can also have the result of isolating people and discouraging real
interaction. For example, many young people choose to make friends online
rather than mixing with their peers in the real world, and these virtual
relationships are a poor substitute for real friendships.
In conclusion, technology has certainly revolutionised communication
between people, but not all of the outcomes of this revolution have been
positive.
Bài 2: People are consuming more and more sugar-based drinks. Why?
What can be done to reduce sugary drink consumption?
It is true that the consumption of drinks with added sugar is increasing
globally, even in less developed countries. While a number of factors explain
this trend, some countries have taken measures to reduce the intake of sweetened
drinks.
Heavy marketing is the principal reason why the consumption of
sugar-based drinks has increased rapidly. This trend is of concern to the World
Health Organisation because it carries health risks, including life-threatening
conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and certain types of cancer.
The soft-drinks manufacturers advertise their products to a target audience of
young children and adolescents. This strategy encourages youngsters to form the
lifetime habit of buying these drinks, as they are soon addicted to the high sugar
content. They put on weight, are prone to obesity and find it difficult to keep
their teeth healthy.
There are three measures that would be effective in tackling the rise in the
popularity of sugary drinks. Firstly, governments should raise taxes on the sales
of soft drinks. This has been done in France, for example, and could be
implemented by other countries, too. Secondly, vending machines must be
removed from public places, discouraging the consumption of sugary drinks in
schools, bus stations, cinemas and hospitals. Finally, health awareness
campaigns on TV and the internet could help in combatting the promotion of
soft drinks by marketing agencies, including the compulsory addition of health
warnings on labels, as in the case of tobacco products.
In conclusion, although the promotion of soft drinks has resulted in
increased sales, effective steps can be taken to reverse this trend.
