         <description><![CDATA[<div>Many people believe that studying academic knowledge for exams is the most important thing that a student needs to learn at school, and such skills as cooking and dressing should not be taught. In my opinion, there should be a balance between studying academic knowledge and fundamental skills at school.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>On the one hand, studying academic knowledge is necessary in many ways. Firstly, studying academic knowledge provides students with&nbsp; a wide range of useful information about the world in which they are living. At school, students have chances to broaden their horizons in different subjects like Literature, Maths, History. and there’s no better place to help them than schools. Secondly, studying academic knowledge for exams is necessary due to the importance of exams’ grades. Passing the exams with excellent scores is also an advantage for students’ future to choose a good career or have a chance to study abroad. Moreover, big companies hire employees who have good academic results.

Firstly, cooking and dressing skills are what we all need when growing up. Being an adult means staying away from our parents, standing on our own feet.It is when we need to do everything by ourselves. If we just spend our pupilage studying and forgetting other soft skills, our time will be wasted and worthless. Knowing how to cook and dress ourselves, we are able to stay independently, prepare healthy and affordable meals on our own instead of eating out at restaurants - which is a waste of time and money.Secondly, having these fundamental skills also boost our confidence in front of the public. When having to introduce ourselves, we can proudly discuss our abilities: cooking, playing sports, singing. Moreover, when choosing to go to other countries to study, students with fundamental skills will be able to take care of themselves.&nbsp; Being taught at school how to dress appropriately for special occasions wil; be very useful for students in many situations in daily life. We can choose beautiful and suitable clothes which fit us to make an impression on employers or people positively, effectively when attending an interview or joining a party. Last but not least, learning life skills also gives students more chances to choose jobs and have their dream career. For example, if I have the ability to cook well, I can become a chef or open a restaurant to serve food for customers. Someone with dressing skills and a good appearance can become a fashion model. A person who has a good voice can make up her mind to become a singer. People's abilities are different from each other. A person who likes academics can choose to do brainwork like becoming a professor, a lawyer, a doctor. Some who are not good at or fond of studying can choose other careers related to practical skills like singing, dancing, dressing,... for their future life.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>In conclusion, not only should students study academic subjects at school but they should also be taught soft skills such as cooking, dressing and other life skills to be able to live independently when growing up. Both two areasaspects of: fundamental skills and academic knowledge should be balanced due to their importance and necessity to students’ future.<br><br></div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I ate omelet for breakfast today. Personally, it is a brilliant breakfast. In cuisine, an omelet is a dish made from beaten eggs, fried with butter or oil in a frying pan, without stirring as in scrambled eggs. It is quite common for the omelet to be folded around fillings such as chives, vegetables, mushrooms, meat (often ham or bacon), cheese, or some other. The major health benefits of omelets are that they are packed with protein and healthy fats. Omelet helps improve eyesight since they are high in Vitamin A. Furthermore, omelettes keep you active all day long since they are loaded with rich vitamins and minerals which energise human body for the long day ahead. Not only are omelets delicious but they are also healthy. Because of that, trying omelet once may be a good choice.&nbsp; &nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>As children get older, more responsibility is placed on them to complete their homework and get good marks at school. While some students have the encouragement to complete their work on time, other students struggle to get started. Encouraging children to find motivation in a positive way is important for helping them study well at school. There are various ways to motivate teenagers to study seriously. Firstly, parents should&nbsp; understand how their children feel and think.Teenagers are emotional and sensitive so it is important to understand why our young teenager does not want to do his or her work. Talking and trying to understand their points of view, parents can know exactly how their children feel and what is stopping them from studying. Our child may be finding it difficult to cope or understand what is being taught in class. Talking to our teen will help us empathize and identify the source of the problems. Secondly, parents should go along with their children through their studies. When finding what subjects our children are not good at, parents can have the best method to help them. Parents can look for a tutor who is capable of teaching and assisting their teenager with studies. Encouragement is also a great method to boost children’s moods in studying. Teenagers usually get tired after a long day and can be lazy when being asked to do their homework. Sitting with our teenager and helping them find solutions to their homework and sort out tasks that they might find difficult. Thirdly, trying to discuss with our teenagers instead of spanking or yelling. Shouting at our child for the smallest errors does not sound effective.Being shouted at for everything by their parents, teenagers&nbsp; will distance themselves from their parents and may stop listening to them as they protest. Intead, parents should find a more effective way to deal with their children’s studying. Parents should be kind, calm and soft and make teenagers understand the importance of studying. It is more effective than yelling, shouting and spanking them, especially if teenagers do not want to. Being forced to do things that they do not like, teenagers will find many ways to protest and will not do anything that their parents tell them. Last but not least, parents should not raise expectations toward their teenagers. High expectations can cause pressure and stress on teenagers. Often, when being asked whether being stressed or not, teenagers may answer no while they really suffer from high stress or worries. Moreover, the higher parents’ expectations are, the more depressed they feel when their teenagers fail. The solution to the fourth problem is teaching teenagers to find a goal to small success and to the bigger one. In conclusion, motivating teenagers doesn’t mean getting them to do what their parents want, the best method to motivate teenagers to study is to make them want to study by helping them see how easy it is and what rewards it can bring them.</div><div>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Nowadays, since our new world depends on how much money an individual makes, many people fall into an obsession with their careers. This process is called workaholism, which is another word for addiction to work. Nowadays, there has been a slight argument about the effects of overworking on ourselves. Workaholics are often not aware of being addicted to their job or do not want to talk about them. However, with the rise in the number of workaholics, society needs to be aware of all the trouble relating to the problem.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Inspiring children to find an inclination to study in a conclusive studying method is imperative for boosting their confidence in studying well at school. There are various ways to encourage teenagers to study seriously. Firstly, parents should&nbsp; understand how children feel and think. It is neccessary that teeneagers’ thoughts are understood adequately due to their impassionate and sensitive feelings. Talking and trying to understand their orientations, parents may know exactly their children’s true feelings and what is putting their studies to an end. These children may be finding it difficult to cope or understand what is being taught in class. Talking may be the most helpful way of understanding and identifying sources of the problems. Secondly, parents should go along with their children through their studies. When finding what subjects teenage children are not good at, parents can have the best method to help them. For example, parents can look for a tutor who is capable of teaching and assisting their teenage children with studies. Encouragement is also a great method to boost children’s moods in studying. Teenagers usually are tired after a long day and can be lazy when being asked to do their homework. Sitting with them and helping them find solutions to their homework and sort out tasks that they might find difficult provide the exact support they need. Thirdly, it is great to try disucssing with&nbsp; teenagers instead of spanking or yelling. Parents shouting at children for the smallest errors does not sound as effective as talking freely to understand what teens actually think.&nbsp; The action of yelling really distances teenagers themselves from parents,&nbsp; resulting in teens’ refusal to listen to parents as a sign of light protest. In preference, parents should find a more adequate way to deal with children’s shortcomings. Being kind, calm and helpful can help teenagers understand the importance of studying. That really sounds&nbsp; more efficient than yelling, shouting and spanking, especially if teenagers do not want to. Being compelled to do prejudices, teenagers will act terribly so as&nbsp; to dissent and refuse doing anything they are told to do. Last but not least, parents should raise reasonable expectations toward their teenagers. High expectations can cause pressure and stress on teenagers. Expectation is a double-edged sword which encourages students to study well but it is also harmful to teens. Generally, it is common to hear teenagers share that they did not suffer from any hardship and worries while the truth is different. It is unpredictable to know whether teens really deteriorate from acute burden or not. Moreover, the higher parents’ expectations are, the more depressed they feel when their children come to naught. The solution&nbsp; is teaching teenagers to find a goal to small success and to the bigger one. In conclusion, motivating teenagers does not mean getting them to do what their parents want, but the best method to motivate teenagers to study is to make them want to study by helping them see how easy it is and what rewards it can bring them when studying</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Studying over the Internet is an advantageous way of completing studying courses at a college or university by just staying at home. Although there is no need for online learners to attend classes on a physical campus, there are, in fact, many striking similarities between online classes and traditional classes. First, whether students are in online or offline classes, they still have to complete their assignments before the next lessons. The key reason why assignments are so essential is that they are such necessary materials for students to revise after class and for teachers to test students’ understanding. The second notable similarity between online and offline studying courses is the requirement for the students to have a textbook to examine along with&nbsp; the key words the teacher says . Even though a course may be taken online, textbooks which store indispensable knowledge, are still important .

The first difference is in the studying location. Learning online allows learners to study wherever they want. When studying online, all students need to do is choose a comfortable place and sit in front of their devices studying. However, offline learning consumes a great amount of students’ time when they have to travel in traffic and long-distance from their house to school. The second difference is in the needed amount of students’ concentration when studying. Online learning allows students to study effectively only with a focused mind in their rooms. With a focused student, studying online is efficient because there are no unnecessary distractions in online courses and students can remain concentrated on their own. In contrast, students whose minds are easily distracted will find studying online a great opportunity to play and do everything they like while studying.&nbsp; For such kinds of students, offline learning is more effective under teachers’ management. The third difference regards the interaction in the class. While studying online, it is difficult for teachers to manage students’ attention so it is likely that students interact inactively. In contrast, learning offline allows having face-to-face interactions so teachers can easily manage their students and collaborate effortlessly. The next difference is the difficulty when students miss a lesson. In this situation, studying online is convenient thanks to the usage of recorders as students who miss a lesson can watch the recorded video of the lesson and can understand it more easily. However, when studying offline, missing a lecture or class can lead to massive difficulty in doing follow-up exercises. The fifth difference between online and offline classes relates to the tutors’ teaching techniques. Learning online leads to the availability of interactive videos, lectures, and slides. Those technological teaching methods help students stay updated with the newest teaching ideas, hence, learning smartly through new digital ways. In contrast, when students learn offline, the teaching methods are quite traditional, and students mostly study by writing or using chalk and board. The last but most recognizable difference between direct learning and online learning is the number of soft skills gained through studying. Through online learning, hardly any soft skills that students can learn because they just stay in front of the computer screen listening. On the contrary, offline learning develops all students’ soft skills such as communication skills&nbsp; and social intelligence. In conclusion, studying online and offline not only have some fundamental similarities but also have major differences.</div><div>&nbsp;<br><br></div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>(LATEST VERSION) People are living in a throwaway society, using things for a short time and then throwing them away. What are the causes of this? What problems does it lead to?</title>
         <author>daophuonganhnshn123</author>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Recently, there has been an in-depth discussion on the topic of “throwaway society”. It is said that people all over the world are now living in a straightforward culture, where a particular product is used for a short period and is then discarded whether it still works well and smoothly. This essay will look at some basic reasons leading to this problem and the impacts that it could have on individuals and the environment.</div><div><br></div><div>In my opinion, there are several reasons which make up the throwaway society and advertising could be the first and the most important reason leading to. Nowadays, it is common to see advertisements on buildings’ screens, on programs, on the walls of our houses. Advertisements encourage people to purchase goods and services that they do not really need by sending them a message which engages them to offer them great prizes or showing untrue videos that arouse human’s desire to be beautiful and so on. Because of advertisements’ attractions, many of today’s teenagers spend a large amount of money on latest-version items in order to show their wealth and fashion even though the old one is still in good condition and perfectly functional. For instance, every year phone companies launch a new model of smartphones. Even though it has the same performance as the preceding one, people are absorbed in the advertising and decide to buy it on the spur of the moment. Maybe the buyers do not need a new one but they buy it just because they want to show off.<br><br></div><div>Another cause is the assembly-line production of non-durable goods which are used just once and thrown away. Mass production - the result of breakthroughs in science and technology, is making new products increasingly cheaper while continually developing living standards facilitates people to have more excessive income. Since these products are much cheaper and more convenient than durable ones, they attract a large number of buyers.<br><br>Here comes the last reason for this phenomenon - human’s busy lifestyles. Nothing can stay perfectly. There will be times when things get broken or fragmented heavily. Hardly is there enough time for busy people to fix stuff that has been shattered, they need time to do what is important to them. Actually, the best solution is buying new stuff, which is much faster than renovating them.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>The free-and-easy way of thinking has had a great impact on individuals. The buyers could easily get indebted cripplingly if they get into the habit of buying the latest-version items. Many teens are being depressed with a large amount of money in debt for their inappropriate acquisition, which could induce despondency and anxiety.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>Not only does throwaway society damage individuals but it only destroys the environment severely. The more regularly people purchase new products, the more goods are manufactured and therefore, the more natural resources are destroyed. While the throwaway culture satisfies the need for more materials, the earth’s proficiency is not inexhaustible, which makes our next generations on the verge of resource depletion. Exorbitant production of stuff leads to the deficiency of natural deposits.&nbsp; For instance, many trees are cut down to produce assorted ordinary items. The need for people to replace their furniture more frequently would result in the destruction of forests and trees. The more green trees are cut down, the more serious impacts that natural disasters do on a human's life. That means humans destroy their life just to satisfy their desire. Moreover, the more products are made, the more garbage is produced. Many consumer goods are non-biodegradable which will remain in the soil forever. That can harm the trees, pollute the soil and the vegetables that we eat every day. To such a degree, by throwing away goods we are unintentionally causing malicious damage to the water and to wild animals which accidentally swallow them. Hence, every action humans take is affecting their life seriously.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>To conclude, the throwaway culture is a contemplation of our object-oriented personality. Many people love objects more than their life. People also have little observation of natural resources. Just when individuals consider the heavy destruction that a throwaway lifestyle would cause to the environment, they will force themselves to stop living in that unproductive conduct. If only the government takes necessary action to harm this lifestyle, the problem of wasting things can be solved effectively.<br><br></div><div><br><br></div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br>For the time being, more parents set high goals for children, wishing that they gain high prizes and qualifications in their studies. Many people identify that such desire motivates children to study better. However, the high expectation is a double-edged sword that acts as motivation on the one hand and causes stress on the contrary. The massive stress being caused by this expectation has composed the young scholars’ isolation and created a remarkable impact on their school adjustment. This essay will point out some efficient solutions to this tremendous problem.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Before pointing out solutions to this problem, I will take a brief view of students’ stress all over the world. Loneliness is a widespread and significant problem impacting the mental health and success of college students. Take the U.S as an example, according to recent surveys, 79% of GenZ youth (18-22) are lonely. These survey data, compared with data from previous years, show dramatic increases in college students reporting moderate and severe depression, attempting suicide, and leaving college due to mental health issues.&nbsp;</div><div>Not only is the isolated child given the opportunity to learn the skills necessary to develop and maintain friendships, but their schoolwork can also be affected as his attention drifts to social concerns. It isn't surprising that children who feel isolated from their peers tend to have increased social and academic problems as they get older. &nbsp;</div><div><br>The first thing that can be done to combat the effects of loneliness and isolation for youngsters is to use technology to stay in touch. The world is our oyster when it comes to ways we can stay connected to friends and family digitally. This can make us feel comfortable and eliminate the feeling of being isolated. Also, staying in touch with family and friends is a good opportunity for students to receive motivation, encouragement, and support from family and friends, which is an effective way of boosting youngsters’ mental health.</div><div><br>&nbsp;</div><div><br>Another effective solution is managing stress levels. Students are the only ones who can adjust and find the best method to reduce their own stress levels. Learners can balance the time of their studies. Besides spending time learning favorite subjects, they should plan to study other subjects to balance the knowledge in all studying fields. Moreover, they should also spend time for themselves, doing their favorite hobbies as a relaxed mind helps them study most effectively. It is also recommended that teenagers spend time playing sports to improve their physical health.&nbsp;</div><div><br>&nbsp;</div><div><br>Thirdly, it is also effective that teachers pay attention to their students and finds out what problems the students are suffering from, then find the most suitable way to coach them. Teachers can begin by helping isolated scholars improve their social skills. They can guide social things that students could encounter and provide tips to deal with those situations. These exercises may be as easy as encouraging the students to create eye contact with others and to be friendly, or encouraging them to talk more in class. The last goal is to urge students to create an attempt to make friendships and relationships with others, to eliminate students’ isolation in society.</div><div><br>&nbsp;</div><div><br>Last but not least, parents and teachers can arrange opportunities for children to interact with other people. This means&nbsp; to encourage students to participate in activities matching their interests and skills that provide them with a chance to socialize with others. , which&nbsp; are smart opportunities for scholars to socialize. Another choice is to develop outdoor projects which require students to stay outside. Teachers can place the isolated students in a group with friends who are sure to welcome them . Then, teachers can follow and check the group’s progress to make sure that everything is moving smoothly. By doing this, teachers are taking the chance to assist these students to recognize their strengths and abilities while learning social skills.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><br>Facing stress and high expectations, students can easily suffer from stress and feel isolated from society. Therefore, teachers, parents, and students themselves should support the social and emotional well-being of students with strategies emphasizing the importance of connections and compassion as discussed above.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>For the time being, there has been an endless increase in the abundance of individuals and institutions appropriating social networking websites, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram.&nbsp; Social networking sites are adopted by individuals to stay in touch with friends and relatives, and for relaxation. They are used by businesses and organizations to elevate commodities, trademarks, individuals,&nbsp;events, and also for advertising. Social networking sites declare humans with such recognizable profits, but also shortcomings. This essay will point out the main advantages and disadvantages of social networking sites.</div><div><br></div><div>Social networking sites serve humans with many benefits. Firstly, these sites bring people together. Internet users can easily stay in contact with each and everyone by using those media platforms. For instance, users can keep in touch with comrades and relatives easily. Just by engaging in some conversations, having a video call, users can know briefly how their friends and relatives get along day by day. thanks to the applications, it will be easy for most users to stay up to date with what people around us are doing, and also let them know what is proceeding in their daily routines. As another instance, users can also network with other people having the same characteristics and socialize with them. Social platforms make it easy to join groups and make friends online with those who share particular passions. Even more attractive to users, with social platforms, connections with others can be made over long distances and across international boundaries.</div><div><br>Secondly, with social media services, users can catch up with news and find out about local events. Provided the source is reliable, social networking sites can be a massive source of information, whether it is international news, details of the latest bargains at the local store, or reviews of restaurants. A large number of people can be contacted quickly in the event of an emergency event, such as a hurricane, wildfire, or terrorist attack. Therefore, they can find the best methods to help those people and encourage them.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>However, I personally believe that when it comes to communication, social media does more harm than good.&nbsp; The most negative effect is that people, especially the young, are addicted severely to social networking. Nowadays, we can easily see young people on the streets staring at their smartphones surfing Facebook or Viber. At home, many young people spend hours a day in front of a computer screen, checking for upcoming messages, which wastes a massive amount of time.&nbsp; Many pupils take online studying time to surf the Internet, chatting for hours and forgetting their homework. Students even spend the time studying online chatting and phoning friends without listening to lectures. Due to the addiction to social platforms, many teenagers nowadays gain low test results and low-quality degrees Another problem of social media is the aggression of privacy. When logging in to accounts on social platforms, users must provide their private and personal information such as date of birth, and their ID card. Although the social network owners commit not to reveal users’ profiles, hackers still find it easy to take that information from users any time they can. Furthermore, some people use social networks for bad purposes such as offending someone or spreading wrong information. Many people using social media websites without awareness can easily be tricked and lose private information and a large amount of money.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>Last but not least, the overuse of social media decreases the quality of communal communication. Many people are so addicted to social networking sites that they stare at their screens during dinners with their families without actually paying attention to the people around them.&nbsp; The frequent use of social media also affects the style of speaking and writing, especially among young people. These days, many teenagers have a habit of using abbreviated words, which are frequently used in text messages or in posts on social media, in their academic essays, or in formal emails. Using social media also affects humans’ moods and thinking. Many people become impatient and hot-tempered, and their thinking is affected by the way people on social websites think.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>In conclusion, social networks are beneficial when we make good use of them. We should take responsibility for what we do and protect our privacy by being careful with our posts and treating others as if we were in a face-to-face situation. Social websites are a double-edged sword that can benefit users and also handicap them at once.</div><div>&nbsp;<br><br></div><div><br><br><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The past fifty years have seen increasingly rapid advances in the field of education. However, due to the dramatic impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic, this system has remained unprecedented. Therefore, many students are concerned that studying overseas seems toilsome and hopeless since the Vietnamese government limits the amount of expatriates. Luckily, universities in developed countries can support students with online classes. As a result, many Vietnamese students choose to follow higher education at home while others still continue online education with a destination university in a developed country. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of both sides and discuss my opinion.&nbsp;</div><div><br><br></div><div>Facing the complicated development of the Covid-19 epidemic, many students have chosen to continue studying in the country. Sincerely, this decision has had a discernible welfare on Vietnamese students since the pandemic seems hopeless to end. Firstly, students can avoid unimaginable chances of being infected which result from traveling abroad during the pandemic. Moreover, students studying in their homeland can have better treatment from hospitals and better offers from schools than those who study overseas, especially countries with high rates of infected people, namely the US, India,… Another notable benefit of studying at home universities is that students can keep in touch with their friends and families - who are ready to help them in case of emergencies, namely lack of money, illness, … rapidly. Additionally, Vietnam has many traditional and qualified domestic universities which are listed in top universities all over the world. The Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST) which is in the top 60 is a good illustration. It has been existing for 65 years coinciding with many certified and experienced teachers, with over 30 years of training and teaching. Therefore, students do not need to worry about good universities to study in.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>On the other hand, continuing online education with a destination university in a developed country still benefits students in many visible aspects. Firstly, students study online so all they need to do is sitting in one place, sticking their eyes to the square screen and studying. Although students have to travel overseas, they are not allowed to go to school, which means the risk of being infected is not too high. Also, students can have a chance to learn up-to-date academic fields and latest techniques, skills which Vietnamese universities can not provide them. Additionally, studying in a developed country gives students high job opportunities. It is undeniable that those with such chances to study abroad are proficient, are able to accumulate knowledge and experiences, as well as learn new working techniques from developed countries. Moreover, the aim of big companies is to hire such gifted people like them, therefore, it is likely that international universities could provide pupils with better job opportunities after graduation.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Taking everything into consideration, it seems undoubted that the benefits brought by studying online in developed countries outweigh that in Vietnam, since the Vietnamese education system lacks innovation and modernity. Despite the massive impact of the pandemic on education, after all, international online education still appears attractive without actual day-to-day social and on-campus interactions.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>(VERSION 1) When a new town is planned, it is more important to develop public parks and sports facilities than shopping centers for people to spend their free time in. To what extent do you agree or disagree?</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br>There is always&nbsp; a heated argument on the development of new towns on plan. Many factors should be considered, including the percentage of each type of building. The majority of people believe that health facilities like public parks and sports centers should be developed more than shopping malls. However, I support the opinion that both sides should be balanced. This essay aims to discuss the ideas and states my opinions.<br><br></div><div><br></div><div><br>On the one hand, health facilities&nbsp; benefit them with some advantages which will be pointed out below.&nbsp; First, it is necessary that parks are built with green trees in order to eliminate air pollution and create a modern but green environment for citizens. Next, in-door sports centers in towns would be ideal places for busy people to practice. This is important as the world keeps changing day by day, making people busier with their jobs and have less time for staying in shape. In addition, green spaces in parks play a vital role in helping people to have a relaxing mind.The green color of tree leaves, which comes from chlorophyll has been proved scientifically to be capable of keeping people calm and releasing stress. Moreover, parks can also be places for families and elderly people. Parents can take their children to parks for a short walk and relaxation, letting them run freely with their friends on Sunday mornings. Elderly people can do morning exercises in parks together, keeping them healthy and fit.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div><br>On the other hand, the benefits of commercial centers should not be neglected. It is likely that shopping centers play a vital role in urban life. Hardly a day goes by without humans buying things for their living. Hence, the more shopping malls there are in a town, people do not need to go to nearby-town markets but can have a short walk from home to nearby groceries and shopping centers and the more convenient life in towns is. &nbsp; Those shopping centers are also helpful places for shoppers in case of an emergency.Thus, shopping malls can attract people to come to live in a town. Many people prefer living in places which provide them with utilities like shopping malls, sports centers, cafes because of their convenience. Shoppers do not have to travel long-distance for their demand because everything is sold nearby their house. Just by some steps of walking, people can buy whatever they like. Last, shopping malls offer humans some choices of jobs, such as&nbsp; in retail sales, so that fewer people have to be on the verge of unemployment. In conclusion, not only do shopping malls create convenience for local people but they also solve two severe problems in a developing area: the problem of poverty and unemployment.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div><br>All things considered, there should be a balance between shopping malls and health facilities. Parks, playgrounds and shopping centers have their own benefits in urban life, therefore, rather than outnumbering one side, an equal amount of importance should be given.</div><div><br>&nbsp;</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>As things stand at present, university tuition fees have been one of the most typical challenges in society. While some people agree to renounce tutelage due to commercial backgrounds, others dramatically detest the free-college policy. This essay will briefly discuss both views and emphasize my opinion.<br><br></div><div><br>On the one hand, I wholeheartedly agree that the government should let students pursue college without fees because of the following reasons. Firstly, the free-college policy benefits students individually to be entitled to university. No one was born different from the other, perhaps the only difference is the financial backgrounds. With the provision of free-of-charge education, all students have a chance to be acquired in a good university by their own ability. Undoubtedly, the underprivileged are likely to have great efforts to overcome their backgrounds, therefore, many of them are talented and their talent should not be discarded. Thus, with this policy, everyone can take the chance to get the acquisition of a tertiary degree, regardless of different socio-economic backgrounds. All students stand a chance of being given an ideal opportunity to land a high-paid job and overcome their background to have a better-qualified life. Secondly, the policy of making university education free substantially improves life quality, since more talented people are overtaken. Many talents are found and nurtured so as to bring a more-educated workforce. The world would change faster and people have more chances to access higher technology levels, which rapidly improves living standards.<br><br></div><div><br>On the other hand, I strongly disagree with the policy of letting all pupils have access to university education freely because of the reasons below. Firstly, pursuing all students to go to college for free decreases rates of unemployment. Finding a high-paid job has always&nbsp; been an endless competition. The more people search for work, the less chances of employment are left for normal-qualified students. Many workers would be made redundant or become unemployed to be replaced by talented one.Unemployment would put a strain on the government, reduce welfare and create shabby living conditions like slums. Another drawback is that students lose their desire towards studying. As joining a course without having to pay money, many students will regard the course as useless and does not bring them anything, because they may think free things are helpless. Having such thinking like that, many pupils lose their efforts towards studying courses. Students will not be prepared enough to study earnestly in order to broaden their horizons, in fact, they study because of their parents’ desire and force. Afterall, this method of studying has no meaning and takes a toll on students’ future career since they no longer have motivation to study.<br><br></div><div><br>Taking everything into consideration, I last come to the conclusion that since the abolition of university tuition does more harm than good, I would contend that the discussed drawbacks do not make it a worthwhile choice.<br><br></div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

Teachers are trained carefully, as well as having experiences in teaching and helping students understand the subjects. Teachers are ready to answer all the questions students have in their mind about one subjects, which can not be done when students just read books to study. Moreover, teachers are important in the classroom because of their role. They have the responsibility in managing the class and making sure that it happens fluently without any mistakes.

The fewer students listen to teachers’ lectures, the less interesting it becomes. The absence of some scholars can also create a desire for the others to eliminate the lessons, since many students detest having to study. Moreover, freshmen can study without teachers’ guidance, although the quality can not be as good as that with teachers’ help. Nowadays, there are many valuable books, as well as useful websites who contain treasures of information which support students’ studies. Thus, it now becomes unneccesary with some scholars, especially European that courses and lectures at school can be replaced by self-studying at home.

Self-studying can create more passion, as well as love in studying for students, since they are able to choose what to study freely.

Without teachers’ guidance, undergraduates cannot comprehend the precise studying method to attain high marks and have any exposure to competitions.

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br>It is undeniable that humans have an inextricable relationship with nature and cannot live without nature’s help. However, for the time being, humans are degrading the environment catastrophically, which takes a heavy toll on their life. Thereby, humans, including governments and individuals, should take action now in order to reduce the damage that they are causing to the planet. This essay will discuss some environmental problems and the measures that governments and individuals can take to address these problems.<br><br></div><div><br>&nbsp;It goes without saying that nowadays, the environment is alarmingly contaminated and is likely to disappear forever. Firstly, humans destroy the environment to have enough materials for manufacturing. Due to overpopulation, humans’ needs to cut down trees to make furniture, build wooden houses and produce paper rise continuously. These activities result in the loss of big tropical forests; big timbers, such as: iron-woods, jacquards and oaks. According to a survey, about 13 million hectares of tropical forests disappear each year, which can cause soil erosion when there are no trees to preserve the soil. In addition, humans will have to bear the unpredictable consequences of nature when a flash flood happens, due to the loss of protection from trees. Secondly, individuals nowadays damage the air and water through industrial activities in factories, which causes air pollution and water pollution. However, during production steps, factories discharge sewage into the ocean and exhaust fumes in the air because the processes of making goods need to release waste materials, which has adverse effects on the natural environment. Moreover, the more factories and companies appear, the fewer natural lands there are, including forests or villages. The most recognizable example for this problem can be seen in rural areas of Vietnam, where thousands of trees are demolished every year to provide materials for factories’ manufacturing processes. Hence, a large amount of oxygen from trees will be lost and air pollution will happen unexpectedly.<br><br></div><div><br>To save nature, humans must take action now to reduce the serious impacts that they do to the environment. There are some possible solutions that the governments and the individuals should do to keep the Earth green. Firstly, the governments should impose strict laws lessening the discharge of waste from factories to the river. If the amount of waste and fumes from a factory is higher than the acceptable amount of wastes, the factory will have to be punished or be made redundant. Moreover, the governments can encourage the inhabitants to use eco-friendly products, such as electric cars, public transports or using leather bags instead of nylon ones. Additionally, the residents should grow more plants and young people should volunteer to help recover blank spaces to change them into green forests. Therefore, the amount of empty areas will diminish and the world would be greener and fresher with pure oxygen from trees.<br><br></div><div><br>Taking everything into consideration, various factors are causing the destruction of the environment, namely by humans’ action of producing consumer goods, destroying forests, which takes a heavy toll on their health mentally and physically. Therefore, the governments and the inhabitants should rethink the problems and put up some convincing measures to tackle this issue.<br><br></div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>It is undeniable that conventional energy like coal, oil, and natural gases has become a norm all over the globe. However, some countries nowadays are trying to adopt alternative energy sources since they are pollution-free and cheap. Personally, this trend could have both advantages and disadvantages, as now will be discussed.</div><div><br><br></div><div>On the one hand, there is compelling evidence that renewable energy is undeniably an onward step in the future. Firstly, it is apparent that renewable energy is limitless, while fossil fuels will soon exhaust due to the increasing demand and overpopulation today. Therefore, pivoting non-renewable power cannot warrant long-term sustainability. Thus, humans should pursue additional energy sources that are more reliable and sustainable afterward. Secondly, the combustion of fossil fuels creates heavy environmental pollution through the production process. When humans burn fossil fuels, they release large amounts of carbon dioxide - a greenhouse gas - into the air. Exhaust fumes from vehicles that run on oil or petroleum can also initiate greenhouse gases and global warming. On the contrary, an eco-friendly power, namely solar energy, can make the world fresher and improve humans' health physically and mentally. Therefore, it is crucial that renewable energy gains individuals' traction nowadays to reduce the usage of non-renewable ones.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Despite the good impacts mentioned above, I assert that using alternative energy can be counterproductive to some degree. Firstly, some renewable power can be weaponized, creating a global security threat. The escalating tensions surrounding uranium enrichment in countries such as Iran and North Korea are evident to the risks of renewable sources. Secondly, this type of energy primarily depends on the weather, which may cause interruptions in the power supply. For example, it is almost impossible for people to use solar power on cloudy days. The use of nuclear energy can put human life in danger. The radioactive tragedy in Japan is an exemplification, which has led to numerous destructive effects of renewable energy sources on individuals and disasters to the surrounding environment.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>In conclusion, although the benefit of alternative sources is indisputable, its downsides should not be overlooked. Consequently, governments should take serious deliberation before coming up with the most suitable type of energy for their countries.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Write an essay of 300 words on the following topic: The increase in the production of consumer goods results in damage to the natural environment. What are the causes of this? What can be done to solve this problem?</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The world’s natural environment is now being destroyed severely due to humankinds’ endless pursuit of economic growth. The more consumer goods are produced, the more damage humans cause to the Earth in order to satisfy individuals’ needs. If this phenomenon happens continuously, our natural environment will suffer from long-term destructive effects. In this essay, I will point out some direct causes of the problem and outline several immediate solutions toward it.</div><div>Firstly, humans destroy the environment in order to have sufficient materials for manufacturing. Due to overpopulation, humans’ needs to cut down trees to make furniture, build wooden houses and produce paper have risen continuously. These activities result in the loss of massive tropical forests with perennial trees having solid timbers such as iron-woods, Jacques and oaks. According to recent surveys, each year, about 13 million hectares of tropical forests disappear every year to serve humans’ needs, which may cause soil erosion as/since there are no trees to keep the soil. In addition to this, humans may have to bear the unpredictable consequences of nature when flash floods happen because of the loss of protection from trees. Secondly, humans nowadays damage the air and water through industrial activities in factories, which causes air pollution and water pollution. During the producing process, factories discharge sewage into the ocean and exhaust fumes in the air because the processes of making goods need to release waste materials, which has adverse effects on the natural environment. Moreover, the more factories and companies appear, the fewer natural lands there are, including forests or villages. The most recognizable example for this problem can be seen in rural areas of Vietnam, where thousands of trees are demolished every year to provide the materials for&nbsp; manufacturing processes.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title> In the 21st century, schools should not be the places for students to learn only academic knowledge. To what extent do you agree or disagree?</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In the 21st society, the subjects for students at school has always been highly debateable. Some people argue that schools should provide students with academic knowledge for the purpose of passing exams and&nbsp; ignore other life skills like cooking or dressing. Personally, I totally disagree with that idea and think that educators should take a balanced view on both academic understandings and fundamental skills to ensure the balanced development for the young generation. This essay will discuss reasons to back up this view.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>On the one hand, there are some reasons why educators should pay attention to impart the academic information for students. Firstly, studying academic knowledge provides students with a wide range of useful information about the world in which they are living. At school, students have chances to broaden their horizons in different subjects like Literature, Maths, History, and there’s no better place to help them than schools. Secondly, studying academic knowledge for exams is necessary due to the importance of exams’ grades. Passing the exams with excellent scores is also an advantage for students’ future to choose a good career or have a chance to study abroad and apply for the prestigious education, such as Harvard University, Oxford university, and the University of Cambridge. Last but not least, by teaching academic knowledge, schools may make a contribution to a successful career path of learners. For instant, when it comes to high competitions, recruitment in a company, a person who have the larger knowledge in school than others will be able to obtain intensive works.</div><div><br><br></div><div>On the other hand, training learners' life skills at school have a wide range of benefits. It is worth considering as a useful way to orient students early what they would have to become in the future. For example, some students find their talent in other aspects such as dressing or cooking besides studying subjects at school, so that practical skills can be considered as a choice for those who are disconcerted to occupations. Additionally, apprentice lessons assist students acquiring more diverse information in life. To illustrate, when learners are trained practical skills, those will be taught delicious recipes which can be cooked for their family, and guided how to use the sewing machine.</div><div><br></div><div>In conclusion, it is true that teaching academic subjects have obvious advantages for students, I believe that practical skills have an important role in the orientation of learners.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>With the speedy growth of technology, computers are now the most important tools in many aspects of everyday life for many reasons. Firstly, computers enable users to access various information on the internet. For example, a computer system has enough storage capacity as they can store hundreds or thousands of books and files. Movies, pictures, songs and documents can also be stored digitally on computers’ disks, so users can find data effortlessly in just one click and share information between devices through apps such as Zalo, Viber, ... Additionally, the stored books on the computer can be organized into alphabetical order, or can be sorted by date added, which makes it easy for people to find out what they now need. Secondly, computers enable users to contact their friends, family, or long-distance relatives via e-mail and social networking sites. Users can use various apps such as Teams, Zooms on computers to easily connect with thousands of people on a webinar, sharing ideas, feelings, and keeping in touch with them. Thirdly, computers provide users with answers to almost all questions and teach them valuable knowledge, which are summed up by lots of experienced scientists. When using computers, users are kept up-to-date with the latest news, weather, and stories around the world. More importantly, computers and their attached language learning programs could provide second language learners more independence from classrooms and allow learners to work on their learning material at any time of the day. However, it is&nbsp; expected that the cost for computer technology is considerably lower than for face-to-face classroom teaching, and when with the help of computers, students can study more independently when being able to save all documents from the classroom for revision. In general, computers can cater to almost every aspect of our lives, from desire to learn to desire to read books, listen to music and to be in touch with people all over the globe.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br>Nowadays, the&nbsp; majority of grown-ups are engaged in entrepreneurial activities, in &nbsp; preference to being employed for the following reasons. Firstly, people think of starting their own business as an enjoyable journey. Having difficulties following instructions from managers, some people detest having to work as an employee and determine to initiate business. A company of their own enables them to work independently at their own pace, without having to listen to instructions. Additionally, a private business can provide employers with flexible working hours. Being the owner of their company, entrepreneurs can work to their own routine. Moreover, when individuals open their own business, they are likely to have more chances to participate in local and international events. Although attending events is still possible while people work for a company, this would be at the discretion of the employer. In contrast, being an employer enables matures to have complete freedom to visit as many events as they like, where they can make a lot of connections with other competitors. Undoubtedly, nowadays, starting a private business is an extremely attractive occupation to grown-ups, for it is enjoyable, with flexible working hours and opportunities to join local events.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Paragraph 1 – Causes of smoking &amp; Paragraph 2 – Effects of smoking</title>

         <link>https://padlet.com/daophuonganhnshn123/e6chkfzzs7q9tsos/wish/2161351903</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div><br><strong><em>Paragraph 1:&nbsp;</em></strong></div><div><br>Smoking is injurious to health, and the habit of smoking originates from several factors below. Firstly, smoking stems&nbsp; from tobacco addiction and lack of&nbsp; awareness. Since tobacco, the main ingredient to produce cigarettes, contains addictive substances / compounds, smokers are likely to grow dependent on cigarettes.&nbsp; . Therefore, even when the smokers understand the dangers of smoking , they are unable to give up smoking because of the fear of suffering without cigarettes. Another reasonable cause is the inappropriate information on the internet. Nowadays, the tobacco industry spends billions of dollars each year to advertise smoking and try to persuade individuals that smoking is good, through many platforms, such as: Games, TV programmes,... The aforementioned sources may&nbsp; make people believe that smoking is good for health; therefore, many people try&nbsp; smoking&nbsp; and easily become addicted to it.</div><div><br><strong><em>Paragraph 2:</em></strong></div><div><br>Smoking has a bad impact on human’s health as presented below. Firstly, smoking leads to disease, disability and harms nearly every organ of the body. The more humans smoke, the weaker their body becomes, and the more diseases they suffer from. For example, research shows that smokers are at greater risk for diseases that affect the heart and blood vessels. Therefore, it goes without saying that smoking reduces humans’ life expectancy, and brings death to every addict. Secondly, cigarette smoking seriously affects other individuals in the surroundings. Not only does&nbsp; smoke from cigarettes make them unpleasant, but they can severely harm their health at the same time. It is likely that people who breathe smog from cigarettes get the same diseases as smokers, including lung cancer and heart disease. Smoking is also considered a crime&nbsp; since it causes birth defects when pregnant women are exposed to toxic smoke for a long time . Moreover, smoking creates financial pressure, since smokers’ family members struggle to earn to satisfy smokers’ endless needs. It is reported that families of smokers are under pressure or have conflict as they struggle to earn enough for holidays or gifts for children. Additionally, the price of smoking has increased over the years, and the money spent on tobacco can become a financial burden. To summarise, smoking has a bad impact on individuals’ health, on the environment and on society; therefore, smoking should be banned strictly all over the world.&nbsp;</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Should art classes be made compulsory at school? </title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Personally, I totally agree that art classes are important and should be made compulsory at school for&nbsp; the following reasons. Firstly, it is undeniable that drawing or painting develops students’ creativity. When children participate in art classes, they will be taught how to imagine as well as&nbsp; how to express their ideas using patterns, colors and other artistic / abstract methods, which definitely contribute to their creativity. Furthermore, art classes in high school can help students relieve stress. For example, when students are under pressure with their academic workload, an hour in art classes listening to music pieces or being immersed in the world of colors will help them relax and recharge their batteries. Moreover, arts lessons can provide an alternative career path for pupils. For instance, when children fail repeatedly in mainstream subjects like chemistry, biology or mathematics, they tend to lose self-confidence. However, studying painting and drawing subjects, helps students regain their lost confidence. Thus, students can&nbsp; have more opportunities to explore a career in arts when such classes are made compulsory in the syllabus of schools. To conclude, art classes&nbsp; should be made compulsory in the curriculum&nbsp;</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br>Smartphones have a majority of upsides and should be carried to schools for the following reasons. Firstly, smartphones enable students to access more information rapidly. With smartphones, students are able to research more about a topic while having class discussions. There are many educational apps available in a wide range of subjects for all kinds of learners. Nowadays, there are numerous helpful websites that help students increase their studying efficiency. Some examples supporting this idea are Oxford Dictionary or Grammarly - useful websites which boost students’ writing efficiency. Moreover, with the support of smartphones, students can get answers quickly from online websites. In addition, smartphones also allow for social learning. They allow students to work in groups on projects, sharing information and discoveries. Students can use cellphones to move toward a common in a format they are comfortable using. Last but not least, gadgets can keep students interested in class and encourage them to participate in the discussion. Some teachers create online boards and quiz games that students can use during class discussions to share thoughts and ideas. This can be especially helpful for students who find speaking in class uncomfortable. In conclusion, cell phones have many notable benefits, and increase the effectiveness of studying.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>As things stand by, young people are progressively spending their free time at the shopping mall rather than playing sports or participating in outdoor activities. I whole-heartedly agree that this is an extremely inappropriate behavior and a misuse of leisure time. In this essay, I will point out some reasons why I support the idea that overusing much time at shopping malls is pointless and negative.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>One of the significant harms of the shopping habit is that it prompts youngsters to buy products which they did not intend to buy at first. Many shops in malls intentionally display arresting pictures and use virtual merchandising to make buyers consume more. There are also several discounts which strongly attract young people who have weaker self-control than maturities. Young shopaholics are also likely to lack money-management skills, since they are attracted by everything they come across; and are willing to spend all the fortune in order to satisfy their demands. Thus, if immaturities waste days in e-commerce plazas, it will be extremely hard for them to keep being rational on consumption.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Another disadvantage of overshopping is that juveniles can quickly become withdrawn and isolated. Instead of going outside and meeting new friends, several teenagers used their leisure time over weekdays and weekends in the shopping centers. As a result, adolescents will become less socialized and are likely to suffer from more stress, which negatively impacts their physical and mental health.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Last but not least, spending too much can deplete teenagers’ awareness about the importance of money. Nowadays, almost all teenagers are given money by their parents to prevent emergent cases. It is undeniable that most of them will think that money is nothing, since they do not work but still have money in reality. Therefore, they will become dependent on what their parents give them, and it comes to their mind that they still have money without having to work. Thus, overshopping changes teenagers’ thinking about the value of money, so they do not know how to manage to spend it effectively.</div><div><br></div><div>In conclusion, I fully disapprove of the idea that teenagers waste their youth purchasing to fulfill their requirements. The disadvantages of the idea should be reconsidered carefully by teenagers to avoid unworthy long-term effects in the future.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>For the time being, many young people in Vietnam like to order fried chicken from KFC or Lotteria for lunch and many parents organize parties for their children at such eateries. However, the disadvantages of this trendy industry seem to overpower the advantages. From my point of view, I strongly agree with this statement and will present it in detail through this essay.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>There are multiple reasons why the fast-food industry harms society. Firstly, it has risked human health by causing depressive illnesses. According to a recent survey, since quick-lunch counters serving high fat and calories increased, health problems such as high blood pressure and diabetes have risen significantly by 40 percent. The more quick-service restaurants there are, the more people face these diseases in recent years. Junk food also creates ugly appearances for many consumers by increasing their weight, thus creating isolation due to society's beauty prejudice. Therefore, it comes to my mind that consuming junk food negatively impacts individuals’ health physically and mentally.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Secondly, the appearance of junk-food industries also has significant impacts on an environmental level. Specifically, the appearance of non-renewable materials in the packaging of fast food corrupts and harms the atmosphere. In addition, the production of these foods at a large hierarchy also generates a massive amount of&nbsp; wastes and other unwanted products which are discarded in rivers, posing a great threat again to the environment. The choice to support the food industry can mean an attack towards the environment and human health.</div><div><br></div><div>In conclusion, there are various threats by junk-food industries in terms of the public health, environment, and eating habits of the people. I believe that the threat to the environment could be managed and improved by employing the latest technology in industries.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>For the time being, it has been vitally witnessed that the Internet plays a crucial role as a substitute for books in maintaining and disseminating knowledge. Whereas storing intelligence in books is adopted by some people, I strongly believe that online storage would be profitable. This essay will discuss both views and the reasons under my understanding.</div><div><br></div><div>On the one hand, it is undoubted that the Internet is beneficial to humanity in several aspects. First and foremost; the Internet provides humans access to a wide source of information that has been collected for thousands of years. In this modern era, individuals can be exposed to news and erudition with merely a simple mouse click indicating that the internet has maximized the quality of information exchange. Online websites have made accessing knowledge faster and more convenient with up-to-date news and events. Furthermore, the internet also provides humans several opportunities to buy and sell commodities, in other words, shopping online. This type of trading is liable to be the leader in commercialization in the future; since it saves time and much money. During the outbreak of the Covid-19 Pandemic, e-commerce had played an inevitable part that maintained the global supply chains when flights and ocean shipping were prohibited. With online shopping, people can easily get medical supplies, hunt for a job as an online seller, or buy food and clothes online. Without a doubt, the Internet is vital for the well-being of human beings.</div><div><br></div><div>On the other hand; since every rose is accompanied by thorns, the network also has its drawbacks. The most negative effect is that people, especially the young, are addicted severely to social networking. These days, it is easy to encounter young people on the streets staring at their smartphones surfing Facebook or Viber as well as hours at home in front of a computer screen, checking for upcoming messages, which wastes a massive amount of time.&nbsp; Moreover, many pupils take online studying time to surf the Internet, chat for hours and forget their homework, as well as some even phoning friends without listening to lectures. Due to the addiction to social platforms, many teenagers today gain low test results and low-quality degrees. Besides, the aggression toward privacy is another problem of social media. Specifically, when logging in to accounts on social platforms, users must provide their private and personal information such as date of birth, and their ID card. Although the social network owners commit not to reveal users’ profiles, hackers still find it easy to take that information from users any time they can. Furthermore, some people use social networks for bad purposes such as offending someone or spreading wrong information. Therefore, users without awareness can easily be tricked and lose private information or a large amount of money. As a result, it might arouse a number of bad behavior potentials among citizens.</div><div><br></div><div>As mentioned above, digital knowledge's abundance and permanent accessibility are alluring upsides that hardly pale in comparison to the disadvantages; namely the reduction in reader's retention of information and limited physical authenticity. However, each person should make a careful decision based on their prior experience with both methods of storing knowledge.</div><div><br><br><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Today many children spend a lot of time playing computer games and little time on sports. Why is it the case? Is it a positive or negative development?</title>
         <author></author>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Nowadays, it can be clearly witnessed that most children prefer playing computer games to engaging in sports activities. With easy access to electronic gadgets, a plethora of children nowadays are addicted to video games and spend most of their time gazing at the devices’ screens. This is undeniably a sheerly unwholesome development. In this essay, I will present several main factors that lead to this phenomenon, as well as prove why it is a negative advancement.</div><div><br></div><div>There are several factors leading to the addiction of youngsters to video games. First and foremost, a majority of youngsters nowadays develop to be game addicts due to effortless access to low-cost electronic devices, which are commonly seen in every household. Therefore, lounge children staying at home will fritter time away by playing computer games as their graphical contents are impressive. Moreover, as long as adolescents are hooked to the machine, they will no longer be disturbed. Hence, the overuse of computer games can develop children’s addiction to computers and make them no longer favor taking up some sports. Thus; outdoor activities will be considered tiring and require enormous physical effort as games have made the young generation idle and lazy. Furthermore, the colorful graphics and attractive sound effects also make video games addictive to youngsters. Thus, the attractive content affects the players and keeps them playing for long periods. In other words, the variety of attractive effects with levels in video games may result in children staying in the same position for continuous hours to pass level after level without feeling that time is passing by. Thus, young game players may neglect sports activities, which leads to deterioration in their health.</div><div>However, the mentioned phenomenon has certain negative impacts too. Firstly, because of the time consumption in playing virtual games, students rarely get a chance to study and complete their homework. Hence, this may lead to absenteeism from school. For example, game addiction makes students get up all night and ruin their precious time of sleeping while playing worthless games. The other repercussion is detrimental health effects. These digital sports are also harmful to children's health as they may lead to a sedentary lifestyle. For instance, a kid while playing an arcade game, needs to sit for many hours to complete different levels. This will lead to obesity and complications in later life. Overall, these applications may have enormous negative consequences on children’s lives.</div><div><br></div><div>Thus, to conclude the topic, it can be commented that in recent times, children are more inclined towards virtual games instead of playing physical sports. This may be due to addiction to the latest gadgets and socialization. However, this attraction may have certain drawbacks like health problems and absenteeism. Hence, there should be a balance between physical workouts and playing video games.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>The best way to solve the world’s environmental problems is to increase the cost of fuel for cars and other vehicles. To what extent do you agree or disagree?</title>
         <author></author>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>For the time being, it can be witnessed that environmental problems are <strong>provoking ripple effects</strong> on our planet Earth. It has been argued that a rise in fuel prices is <strong>thriving</strong> to <strong>diminish</strong> the problem of the environment. I partially agree with this idea since the best approach is to make the most of alternative sources of energy.</p><p><br/></p><p>On the one hand, it seems undeniable that Earth’s pollution can be solved by <strong>increasing</strong> the cost of fossil fuels and private transportation. In other words, the soaring cost of petrol may be considered an appropriate measure to tackle extreme, and <strong>impending</strong> environmental problems. Recent research suggests a strong link between fossil fuels and global pollution. Reportedly, the PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America) has shown that fossil-fuel-related emissions account for about 65% of the cause of air pollution, and 70% of the cause of climate change. Therefore, taxing and increasing fuel prices help lessen the use of those contaminated energy sources, thereby <strong>addressing</strong> the <strong>substantial losses</strong> from pollution. What can be inferred from this is that this method can solve a side of pollution.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>On the other hand, raising fuel costs is undeniably not the best solution. Environmental problems are too tremendous to be tackled by just raising fuel costs. Another solution suggested is to promote clean energy sources. It can be clearly witnessed that renewable sources such as wind, solar and nuclear are alternatives to solve the world’s environmental problems as they don’t produce much greenhouse gas. Some countries in the world are completely dependent on renewable power to meet their needs and they are doing their part to solve global environmental problems. To be more specific; Japan; America, and British governments are now investing their money on fresh and green alternative sources of energy such as: solar energy; nuclear energy and so on. In more details; in 2020, the investment in clean energy in Japan amounted to around 18.2 billion U.S. dollars. In green energy; Japan will aim for 14-16% to come from solar, 5% from wind, 1% from geothermal, 11% from hydropower and 5% from biomass. The investment of developed countries into green energy will play a vital role in making the Earth greener and less polluted than ever before.</p><p><br/></p><p>In conclusion, raising fuel costs alone isn’t the best solution to solving the world’s environmental problems. Therefore, alternative solutions such as promoting clean energy should be taken at the same time as raising fuel costs. Once those solutions are taken, the global environment can slowly improve.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>]]></description>

         <title>Some people think that the main purpose of school is to turn children into good citizens and workers, rather than to benefit them as individuals. To what extent do you agree or disagree?</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Truth be told, the criteria of schools has become <strong>propagated</strong> in recent time. Some people assert that students are taught to become beneficial city dwellers while some others are convinced that profiting scholars individually is the critical role of campuses. I whole-heartedly support the viewpoint that the benchmark of <strong>scholastic </strong>places is to make learners great citizens.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Firstly, making students advantageous citizens is undeniably the key purpose of schools. In other words, the benchmark of schools has been thought to produce helpful individuals who enhance country development since their first opening in 2100 BC in Egypt. On a daily basis, all students approach a <strong>well-rounded education</strong> with math, literature and economics that are presented in the curriculum of most schools. Therefore, it is a <strong>conformity</strong> that scholars <strong>undertake</strong> the same moral standards which require the same knowledge and skills; without any <strong>social differentiation</strong>. Indisputably; if society were to have such criteria of making juveniles advantageous citizens, it would receive stability since youngsters are aware of their roles and will do their best to help preserve and develop the country.</div><div><br></div><div>Moreover, offsprings being taught to get careers with community spirit receive sooner training than those of other academies. In other words; the youth being involved in vocational schools early are likely to gain more confidence; as well as becoming <strong>resourceful</strong> against the worst situations when searching for a job. Take the situation of students in Bangladesh, America as an illustration to the viewpoint.&nbsp; In this city; the employment rate of candidates who graduated from vocational training centers is 30% higher than those who just enter fundamental courses. What can be inferred from this phenomenon is that students with training and early preparation to become helpful citizens gain more job opportunities than the general public. Thus, it is understandable why schools’ main responsibility is to produce good members of society.</div><div><br></div><div>While I support the point of educating youngsters to be useful city dwellers; some people are still convinced with the idea of schools benefiting the young individually. This is undeniably trustworthy, since children who are taught to take up a job by themselves can have more motivation to study; thereby gaining a high-qualified studying certification. However; the fact that schools producing good natives indisputably contribute to the environment; the country’s economy; as well as giving reputation to the whole national didactic system; since everything is done by high awareness and <strong>discipline.</strong></div><div><br></div><div>To summarize, it is argued that an institution should set the main goal to make children good people. Therefore, this will benefit society as a whole to live a peaceful life; as well as maintaining and developing it. It is predicted that if the academy can implement the role discussed above, the community will live in peace.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Young people believe that they live in a better world than older generations. To what extent do you agree or disagree?</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Truth be told, the life quality of different generations have provoked much controversy. When debating about this problem; youngsters emphatically assert that their lives are much more comfortable than those dating back one hundred years ago; with the importance of electronic devices. I partially support this viewpoint and will present my personal arguments below.</div><div><br></div><div>Nowadays; juveniles are living more amicably than the aged owing to several recognizable reasons. Firstly; it is undeniable that the backup of electronic gadgets has helped the young generation approach the wide cyber world which was far inaccessible a long time ago. Scientific advancement has equipped us with many luxuries that were unprecedented throughout the days of our forefathers. With electronic gadgets; the young can easily keep up with a friend or distant relatives by utilizing connective social platforms; namely Messenger; Zalo; Viber; to name just a few. Moreover; the latest modern transportation also enables humans to commute easily on the street; thereby saving up much time and energy. Conversely; with no vehicles; the aged was were incompetent to track rapidly since only bicycles and carriages were plausible at that moment. Take the time people now and a century ago spent traveling from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh city as an illustration. Modern citizens just spend two hours commuting by air; whilst our ancestors wasted 40 hours on old and slow bicycles. Undoubtedly; living with the help of advanced technology is much more beneficial than staying in a backward era.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>However; the aforementioned paragraph can not assert that humans of the past did not live a happy and satisfactory life. In some aspects; it cannot be denied that our ancestors are somewhat luckier than us; since their lives were much easier than ours. Our forefathers unquestionably had no other accommodations and facilities. There has been little higher education and vocational training in schools, colleges, and institutions of higher education, but at the same time, they have not suffered from the many ills and evils of contemporary civilization. They had their soul and in all their actions and thoughts were always motivated by ethical, spiritual and human ideologies. Take the Hakkas’s notion as an illustration. The Hakkas were afraid of losing positive values of their cultural roots, so they kept a more in-depth record of their clan and family culture than most other Chinese ethnic groups. Since they carefully preserved cultural values; including customs, food and spoken language, some of these values can still be traced to a history of more than 2200 years ago. On the contrary; a modern man is now living in the domain of materialism and possession. The human ideals like love, emotion, and kindness have gained much ignorance in this world of scientific advancement. Humans are becoming money-minded and it seems that a plethora of them live for money and wealth. Thus; in some aspects; life a long time ago may be more beneficial. Despite having to struggle to live due to lack of technological supportance; the ancestors still live more comfortably and relaxingly compared to our modern life.</div><div><br><br></div><div>All in all; it can not be denied that youngsters are now living a better and higher-qualified life than their ancestors centuries ago. However; in the world which fully emphasizes money and material; hardly is there a space for love and independence; since humans are now over relying on advanced technology. Both two lifestyles contain their advantages and the counter sides; so it is hard to decide which generation lives better: the young or the ancestors.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Art classes, such as painting and drawing, are as important for children&#39;s development as other subjects, so it should be compulsory in high school. Do you agree or disagree?</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Truth be told; the importance of artistic subjects has gained much controversy. Some people assert that every subject, whether related to arts or science, is identically vital for youngsters’ advancement. However; a plethora of grown-ups are still convinced that artistry is nowhere near as important as other subjects because they do nothing to enhance students’ intellectual level and it is accepted for getting the reputed jobs too. I partly agree with this opinion, but I think that it is impractical for everyone to attend art courses.</div><div><br></div><div>It is undoubted that visual arts, such as painting and drawing play an important role in benefiting youngsters. Firstly, it is undeniable that drawing flourishes youngsters’ dexterity; as well as artistry. The young joining in philosophy classes will be provided with imagination techniques on how to imagine as well as how to express their ideas using patterns, colors and other artistic methods, which definitely contribute to their creativity. Furthermore, art classes in high school can help students relieve stress. For example, when students are under pressure with their academic workload, an hour in art classes listening to music pieces or being immersed in the world of colors will help them relax and recharge their batteries. Moreover, arts lessons can provide an alternative career path for pupils. For instance, when children fail repeatedly in mainstream subjects like chemistry, biology or mathematics, they tend to lose self-confidence. However, studying painting and drawing subjects, helps students regain their lost confidence. Thus, students can&nbsp; have more opportunities to explore a career in arts when such classes are made compulsory in the syllabus of schools.</div><div><br></div><div>While art courses have a lot of merits, their demerits should not be ignored. Firstly, as the majority of students can not be an artist in the future, art classes are a waste of time. Compared with these classes, they prefer to spend time learning scientific classes such as math or physics, which seems to be more pragmatic for improving their academic score and attending college. Besides, for those less talented students, the painting class may make them feel difficult to handle and once they cannot get the ideal performance, they tend to be frustrated. Therefore, it is reasonable to set the art class as an elective. Those who are interested in painting could get professional direction there.</div><div><br></div><div>In conclusion, art class is indeed important to cultivate well-rounded high school students, but it should not be made compulsory and a must-study subject at school.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>For the time being, there has been an endless increase in the abundance of individuals and institutions appropriating social networking websites, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.&nbsp; When it comes to the usefulness of the Internet, a majority of humanity supports the viewpoint that it does no harm and benefits users completely, while others assert that social media has a tremendous impact on society. I fully support the idea; and will substantiate my viewpoint in this essay.&nbsp;</div><div><br><br></div><div>When it comes to communication, social media has severely affected the way humans exchange information. The most negative effect is that people, especially the young, are addicted severely to social networking. Nowadays, we can easily see young people on the streets staring at their smartphones surfing Facebook or Viber. At home, many young people spend hours a day in front of a computer screen, checking for upcoming messages, which wastes a massive amount of time.&nbsp; Many pupils take online studying time to surf the Internet, chat for hours and forget their homework. Students even spend their time studying online chatting and phoning friends, distracting them from lectures. According to a 2019 survey from Common Sense Media, kids and teens spend a lot of time on social media; from five to seven and a half hours a day. Due to the addiction to social platforms, it is undoubted that many teenagers nowadays gain low test results and low-quality degrees. For another illustration; students who used social media had an average GPA of 3.06 while non-users had an average GPA of 3.82. Social media users also score 20% lower than normal students on tests. What can be inferred from this is that social platforms have tremendously impacted the way students study; thereby lowering their studying quality on campus.</div><div><br></div><div>&nbsp;Another problem of social media is the aggression of privacy. When logging in to accounts on social platforms, users must provide their private and personal information such as date of birth, and their ID card. Although the social network owners commit not to reveal users’ profiles, hackers still find it easy to take that information from users any time they can. Furthermore, some people use social networks for bad purposes such as offending someone or spreading wrong information. Many people using social media websites without awareness can easily be tricked and lose private information and a large amount of money.&nbsp;</div><div><br><br></div><div>However, this is not to say that social media is completely disadvantageous. While it provides humans with several demerits, its merits should not be ignored. Firstly, these sites bring people together. Internet users can easily stay in contact with each and&nbsp; every one by using those media platforms. Thanks to the applications, it will be easy for most users to stay up to date with what people around us are doing, and also let them know what is proceeding in their daily routines. Social platforms also make it easy to join groups and make friends online with those who share particular passions. Even more attractive to users, with social platforms, connections with others can be made over long distances and across international boundaries. Secondly, with social media services, users can catch up with news and find out about local events. Provided the source is reliable, social networking sites can be a massive source of information, whether it is international news, details of the latest bargains at the local store, or reviews of restaurants. A large number of people can be contacted quickly in the event of an emergency, such as a hurricane, wildfire, or terrorist attack. Therefore, they can find the best methods to help those people and encourage them to lessen the use of Internet-based websites.</div><div><br></div><div>Considering both sides, it is undeniable that social networking sites are a double-edged sword which substantiates global development and harms society at the same time. However, since their disadvantages are predisposed to overshadow the advantages, individuals can draw alternative plans to cut down time on the social platforms for outdoor activities. One of the most effective methods is to set screen time and turn off notifications from social apps, which lessen the distraction and reduce the tendency to go online. By adapting plans and methods, Internet users can alleviate the problem of social-websites addiction and avoid all technological issues relating to online apps.</div><div><br></div><div>In conclusion, social networks are beneficial when being made good use. Humans should take responsibility for what they do and protect their privacy by being careful with their posts and treating others as if they were in a face-to-face situation. Social websites are a double-edged sword that can benefit users and also handicap them at once.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Despite improvements in vehicle technology; there are still large numbers of road accidents. Explain some of the causes of these accidents; and suggest some measures that could be taken to address the problem.</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>On a daily basis; it can be witnessed that road accidents occur everywhere; at any time; causing an incremental amount of injured victims; as well as death cases. This issue has been recorded to tear away the lives of numerous individuals; thereby gaining much social concern along with public interest. In addition to several factors causing this dilemma; its solution will also be presented in the following paragraphs.</div><div><br></div><div>It is undeniable that there are multiple determinants provoking automobile accidents. First and foremost; environmental problems are a direct factor that leads to vehicle collisions. Natural disasters such as landslides; blizzards and drought; to name just a few; can wreak havoc on physical infrastructure, destroying roads and tunnels which quickly disrupts normal shipping routes and speeds. In less extreme cases, bad weather can still affect drivers’ visibility and ruin vehicles; thereby hampering manipulators from using the roads. Moreover; increasing speed limit also plays an indispensable role in provoking traffic wreck. Indeed, there is robust evidence that a slight increase in speed results in a higher likelihood of killing a pedestrian or car passenger. In Russia, for example, last year, 40% more people were killed because of cars than in 2019.&nbsp; It is also acknowledged that lack of awareness about traffic rules can also bring about extensive fatalities. With no consciousness about accidents; drivers are likely to get traffic violations; break traffic laws and cause fatal accidents.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>However, governments could easily impose some rules to tackle this alarming situation . Given the clear evidence in favor of decreasing speed limits, governments could contribute to this problem by simply setting more strict policies that decline the average speed of cars in the area. Also, immense investments are needed in order to adjust roads and infrastructure in general. Thus, reorganizing some dangerous areas, where probably many accidents have already happened, a pedestrian death count could decline significantly.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>In conclusion, even though the increasing quality of cars on the road can not completely prevent collisions since they are mostly associated with unbelievably high car speeds and adverse road systems, governments are able to help;&nbsp; therefore, by introducing new rules and financing some additional work for the road systems, many lives could be rescued.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>For the time being, although recognizable improvement in health care has been recorded, the physical criteria of fitness and health is now deteriorating in a plethora of flourished nations. This essay will present the factors leading to this phenomenon and also point out several measures that can be taken to overturn the issue.</div><div><br></div><div>There are several factors that contribute to dwindling traditional health benchmarks. Firstly, the contaminated surroundings play an indisputable role in causing physical illnesses and disease; thereby causing terminal illnesses and deaths. To be more specific, when humans drink contaminated water, their well being is seriously damaged; as polluted water sources harbor viruses and bacterias. Suppressing minor viruses, polluted water streams are prone to bring humans terminal diseases such as cholera, dysentery, and polio; to name just a few. According to the UN, 297,000 toddlers die from diseases due to poor hygiene and unsafe drinking water annually. Moreover, the shortage in appropriate diet schedules also results in bad well-being. This phenomenon can be mostly seen in employees since they do not have enough time to enjoy their meals as well as preparing a healthy diet. Hence, eating fast foods has become an alternative choice for busy workers. Last but not least; the lack of exercises and practice should also be blamed for providing individuals with unfitness and several physical illnesses. People with lack of exercises are more likely to develop a number of potentially serious health problems, including heart disease and strokes. According to the survey released by WHO; at least 2.8 million people each year die as a result of being overweight or obese.When the consumption of energy increase, it is important that there should be an equal increase in physical exercises,to avoid an increase in weight.The shortage in physical activity also leads to energy imbalance and leads to weight gain.</div><div><br></div><div>There are several methods that can be mentioned to tackle the issue of low physical-health benchmarks. First and foremost, several fitness channels or tv shows should be established by the politicians to educate people about illnesses and reinforcing their well-being. Take “Athlean-X” which is a fitness youtube channel as an example, most Americans suffering from high obese are encouraged to be in shape by watching this channel and practice fundamental gym exercises. As a result, the number of obesed individuals in the US decreased fastly in just five years; which is a remarkable amount of time. Furthermore, environmentally friendly parks with flora and gym centers should be built around the countries for individuals to do morning exercises. Individuals should also invest more private money in fitness centers and also raise several campaigns to raise social awareness about healthiness and fitness. By adapting these methods; the amount of obesity will be reluctant fastly in a short amount of time.</div><div><br></div><div>To sum up, in spite of improving efficiency in health care in the most prosperous countries, the overall standard of physical health is decreasing nowadays. Accordingly, steps must be taken by both individuals and governments to prevent problems.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In the high-tech era, the benefits of advanced technology have gained global attention and controversies. As it has made detrimental support for humans’ developments, some people assert that youngsters should be encouraged to get access to more Internet-based platforms such as games and TV programmes. However; some people hold a belief that these activities are not beneficial to a child's mental development because it does no good to the young's body. I partially support two viewpoints and will explain my convictions in the following paragraphs.</div><div><br></div><div>On the one hand, it is undoubted that web-based sources provide youngsters with various benefits. Firstly, games and TV programmes are able to develop a child’s strategic thinking skills and discretion when facing difficulties. To be victorious and gain prizes, a child must find out all approaches that can overcome seemingly insurmountable situations. In other words; games make children cope with dilemmas to gain victory, thereby training them to have a rounded and overall view of all life problems. Although children watching TV just have to sit in one place and stare at the screen, television programmes can also enhance children’s prudence. Through various programmes, the young can broaden their mind about inevitable situations as well as distinct manners to solve them. Take the multicast television network “True Crime Network” as an illustration. Since this programme combines of criminal and justice-related cases, its viewers - the young - can raise more awareness to pickpockets, thieves and murderer. Furthermore; Internet-based platforms can educate teenagers about defeat and victory. It is acknowledged that games are all about losing and winning. Therefore, by playing video games, children can experience failure when underachieving goals and also excitement when gaining success. Lost battles also educate children to carry on practicing and avoiding the previous mistakes to succeed. They are also valuable lessons for teenagers to regain energy after losing and adjust their mental states to try harder next time. Without a doubt; video games and TV programmes are helpful when it comes to educating the young about winning and losing, strategic thinking and wisdom.</div><div><br></div><div>On the other hand, games and TV programmes also have a tremendous impact on individuals. Firstly; children playing games or watching thrilling movies can become more depressed and violent due to crime-related content of murdering. Therefore; practices of games and the overuse of televisions can influence the youth to do offensive activities. Additionally, several fighting games create virtual tasks for gamers to complete and gain prizes. Being unable to complete such tasks; the young will show their deep depression and try various methods to obtain the awards. There was even an 11-year-old child who stole $4,000 of his mother’s hard-earned cash within three months to spend on mobile games.</div><div>Furthermore, the over-addiction of games and TV also make children's lifestyle more sedentary; and the lack of physical activity might impact their well-being. According to a recent survey; two third of under-sixteen video-game-addicts are suffering from obesity; since they just spend a day in front of the screen for their enjoyment. Hence; games and TVs bring youngsters degradation in emotional and physical health; as well as unforeseen disasters in the future.</div><div><br></div><div>In conclusion, electronic gadgets have several tremendous effects on the child’s wellbeing, but would also provide numeral merits. Therefore; the best approach is that students balance their time studying and going online to both satisfy their demand for enjoyment but still maintain prosperity in their studies.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>In some countries, there are fewer young people who listen to or play classical music these days. Why is this? Should young people be encouraged to play or perform classical music?</title>
         <author></author>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>On a daily basis, it can be clearly witnessed that a minority of youngsters show interest in playing and listening to classical music. This traditional music genre has been blamed for its&nbsp; melody since it creates less enthusiasm in the young generation due to slowness and complexity. This essay will argue why the young should not be forced to perform the classical melody, instead, they might be given the freedom to play according to their preference.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>To begin with, several primary reasons relating to the society’s ignorance toward classical music will be presented below. Firstly, it is undeniable that enhancing knowledge about classical music seems to be extremely sophisticated. In other words, since learning and performing classical tunes is difficult and requires great patience, young learners do not find any encouragement to be trained in it. For example, classical musicians have to learn “Etudes”- a type of music written specifically to be difficult - to develop their skills in a certain area. Compared to classical, pop music is relatively simple. Classical music has a wider range in basically everything - dynamics, pitch, note value, so it is undeniably difficult to play. Secondly, high requirements for being fluent in classical performance is an extensive barrier for performers. Classical musicians and performers have to be professional and independent financially since musical instruments cost a fortune, as well as training courses are time-consuming. That is why not so many young people can tolerate and spend eight to nine hours a week practicing this traditional music genre repetitively. Undeniably, there are tremendous employment opportunities as well as benefits or earnings that players of modern music can obtain from the public.</div><div><br></div><div>After analyzing the difficulty of learning traditional music, it comes to my mind that youngsters should not be forced to learn or play classical music as it can not brighten their future. To be more specific, as classical melody does not provide a stable future career, as well as recreatures to both performers and audiences, performing it will not create any opportunities to earn money or fame. Therefore, young learners should be given the independence to choose music according to their own desire rather than forcing them to play the classical melody.</div><div><br></div><div>In conclusion, classical music has lost its popularity among the young generation owing to its learning complexities and unpopularity to the listeners. For this reason, it is argued that there is no necessity for pursuing youngsters to learn this obsolete classical music.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Math is too difficult and should be dropped from the school curriculum. To what extent do you agree?</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Truth be told, the importance of Mathematics has provoked much controversy. All didactic subjects on campuses have their own necessity, which facilitate scholars’ skills in the most well-rounded way . However; when it comes to Maths; multiple individuals are convinced that programs of Maths should be kept as alternative as they are excessively laborious. I am fully against the aforementioned viewpoint and think that more emphasis should be given on Math due to its crucial importance.</div><div><br></div><div>To begin with, Mathematics is undeniably a foundation subject which bridges numerous different fields, from physics and chemistry to the internet and modern medicine. Scientists of those fields are required to calculate and measure the appropriate methods to alleviate problems; and this skill stems from Mathematics. Moreover, all of our materials advanced in the 20th and the 21th century could not have appeared without Math, since manufacturers could not calculate and find out their regulations. Take the invention of computers as an illustration to the viewpoint. The computer is the greatest, incomparable invention belonging to the 20th century. There is no single inventor accredited with the invention of the computer, as it was born out of many scientists’, researchers’ and mathematicians’ contribution. What can be inferred from the aforementioned example is that Math plays a vital role in the development of society. To be sure, Mathematics is&nbsp; necessarily important in helping humanity meet challenges like global warming and space travel, to name just a few; in the future.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Moreover; Maths is one of the most important curricula for any pupil. It enhances&nbsp; youngsters’ analytical and critical thinking skills; which are undeniably essential to their future careers. Moreover; a logical math scholar will be able to add its value in society as he will have an option to become engineers, scientist which will ultimately help the country and the world. A pupil who has not taken math education will find it really difficult to do calculations which are required in day to day life. Thus, leaving math as a choice in primary, secondary level is not a good idea; since it is a fundamental subject where everything lies under its core.</div><div><br></div><div>To conclude, it is true that math is difficult, if compared with different subjects, but it should not be dropped in options as it plays a key role in the development of attitude, aptitude, critical thinking, which are of more importance in career as well as for the future life.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>For the time being, many young people in Vietnam like to order fried chicken from KFC or Lotteria for lunch and many parents organize parties for their children at such eateries. However, the disadvantages of this trendy industry seem to overpower the advantages. From my point of view, I strongly agree with this statement and will present it in detail through this essay.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>There are multiple reasons why the fast-food industry harms society. Firstly, it has risked human health by causing depressive illnesses. According to a recent survey, since quick-lunch counters serving high fat and calories increased, health problems such as high blood pressure and diabetes have risen significantly by 40 percent. The more quick-service restaurants there are, the more people face these diseases in recent years. Junk food also creates ugly appearances for many consumers by increasing their weight, thus creating isolation due to society's beauty prejudice. Therefore, it comes to my mind that consuming junk food negatively impacts individuals’ health physically and mentally.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Secondly, the appearance of junk-food industries also has significant impacts on an environmental level. Specifically, the appearance of non-renewable materials in the packaging of fast food corrupts and harms the atmosphere. In addition, the production of these foods at a large hierarchy also generates a massive amount of&nbsp; wastes and other unwanted products which are discarded in rivers, posing a great threat again to the environment. The choice to support the food industry can mean an attack towards the environment and human health.</div><div><br></div><div>In conclusion, there are various threats by junk-food industries in terms of the public health, environment, and eating habits of the people. I believe that the threat to the environment could be managed and improved by enhancing the latest technology in industries. However, some other threats would not be reduced to the desired level.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>In developing countries, children in rural communities have less access to education. Some people believe that the best way to solve the problem is by providing schools and teachers. Some others think that it is better to provide computers and Internet access. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. </title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>These days, it is acknowledged that a didactic curriculum is still out of reach for youngsters born in impoverished parts of developing nations. Therefore, when it comes to the solution to this phenomenon, there exist conflict options. While some people argue that children should be provided chances to go on campuses, others hold a notion that the young should approach electronic devices to deplete illiteracy. In this essay, I will discuss both viewpoints and present my opinions to alleviate the problems.</div><div><br></div><div>On the one hand, Internet-connected gadgets are beneficial to penniless juveniles in several aspects. Firstly, computers allow underprivileged children to approach the progressive schooling system. With merely a single click, adolescents can broaden their horizons in diverse fields of study, from social to natural sciences. Electronic widgets offer students access to online platforms where they can forage and disburse for online courses, and web-based forums to accumulate knowledge in several dimensions: Maths, English, Literature, and Philosophy, to name just a few. Electronic gizmos facilitate study efficiency since scholars can connect to software or recorded tutorials of prestigious teachers, or communicate with experts to enhance their terminology mastership via Skype or Zoom. Furthermore, learners can take up and rehearse playing a musical instrument via YouTube without hiring personal instructors, which costs a large fortune. Moreover, the affordable price also makes computers a worthwhile method to educate insolvent teenagers. As owning a computer just involves the installation fees and maintenance expenses, it is far less costly than hiring teachers, repairing schools, and so on. Besides, since fundamental computer skills are easy to learn, freshmen can effortlessly discover them on their own, which is time and money efficient. Undoubtedly, computers are beneficial to impecunious youngsters who have difficulty accessing a well-rounded curriculum since it is affordable and helps children access advanced learning programs at the same time.</div><div><br></div><div>On the other hand, schools and teachers can help solve the situation of children having less access to proper education. It is undoubted that the facilities in rural regions are not adequate compared to those in city centers, leading to high rates of callowness between children of poor economic backgrounds. According to UNESCO, in 2016, 264 million juveniles were denied access to education, which is relatively an outstanding amount of illiteracy. The construction of schools and provision of high-qualified educators is beneficial in raising poor children’s education level as when it comes to learning, nothing can be compared to teachers’ roles on campuses. In a classroom, students can learn the importance of collaborating and socializing with each other by co-working on assignments, on team presentations and research on a particular topic. Even though self-study is wholly feasible with the supportance of technology, scholars in rural areas are unlikely to learn on their own effectively without tutors’ careful guidance. Educators can investigate students’ inadequacy to help them modify themselves by giving persuasive explanations, handing out suitable practices, or even tutoring them privately after schooling hours. Furthermore, it is the trust and bond between tutors and learners that creates the healthy learning environment which remote learning simply cannot do. Traditional learning method has created a two-sided communication between teachers&nbsp; and pupils.&nbsp; Therefore, needless to say, trainers and scholastic campuses play a pivotal role in solving the problem of students lacking access to a well-rounded education.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>From the above viewpoints, I conclude that a merge between traditional learning stereotype and modern study method is the most effective and generous clarification to impoverished juveniles. With the help of advanced technology and skillful tutors at the same time, necessitous minors have the opportunities to approach the developing education system like what urban children do. As long as this method is affordable to volunteers and the government, it can create justice among all teenagers and bridge the gap between the poor and wealthy adolescents. All children have chances to go to school, to join online courses and receive well-qualified studying courses. Undoubtedly, a country with an even development of all teenagers is prominent to remain long-term prosperity. For example, Finland is a fully-developed country which has the highest rate of literacy in all aspects: problem-solving, numeracy and proficiency. According to Finnish author Aki Ollikainen, the Finnish school system has libraries which have very versatile collections available to all. Thus, high literacy rate has made Finland the happiest and well-developed country in the world.</div><div><br></div><div>Taking everything into consideration, I eventually conclude that the provision of schools, teachers and computers at the same time is sheerly important. Hence, a mixture of both sides is the best solution to this phenomenon since it creates fairness among all teenagers and helps maintain the country’s development.&nbsp;</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>These days, taking a gap year before the commencement of tertiary education has gained much popularity among youngsters in many countries. Although this trend has several upsides, I believe its disadvantages are more significant.</div><div><br></div><div>On the one hand, delaying tertiary education is beneficial to several extents, since it helps freshmen develop communication skills when socializing and discover new cultures in an alien environment. First, a gap year gives new graduates time to travel and immerse themselves in alien cultures. When students take time to travel, they have an opportunity to focus on outside events to learn about new cultures and events, which will practically enrich their life experiences and skills. For example, when living abroad, students will have to adapt quickly to their independent lifestyle and pick up the foreign language, which is beneficial to their mental development. Moreover, the gap year option also helps students accumulate social relationships during work and travel by meeting new friends, coordinating with new colleagues. That practical amount of time has created valuable opportunities for students to socialize and interact with international pupils, thereby enhancing communication skills.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Although the gap year is beneficial to certain extents, its drawbacks should not be ignored. The first adverse impact is the difficulty to re-adapt to an academic lifestyle. With a life focus shifted to travel-related issues, such as itinerary planning and relaxation, or occupational tasks at work, gap-year freshmen might struggle academically as a result of lacking time to revise their knowledge and academic skills, hence underachievement. Moreover, gap-year students may lose momentum, finding it hard to resume their education after a long time being distracted from formal schooling. Therefore, they could also suffer from some psychological problems such as peer pressure and perhaps, lower self-confidence. Another risk for gap year taking students is that they might not cultivate relevant job skills as the jobs available to high- school leavers are mainly entry-level ones.</div><div><br></div><div>In conclusion, while taking a gap year is not without certain benefits, I would contend that the given disadvantages make it an unworthwhile path to choose.</div><div><br><br><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Do you think people have become more health-conscious in recent years?</title>

         <description><![CDATA[Health is one of the most crucial aspects of our lives. Although we tend to ignore it more often than not, it remains the backbone of everything we achieve in our lives. Nowadays, many people have become health conscious, which is an extremely positive sign. In this essay, I will present the importance of being switched on and point out how to be conscious of your health .
 
Being conscious of one’s food choices and being aware of one's health is what health consciousness is all about. The constant know-how of one’s well-being, healthful food, and proper lifestyle is part of health consciousness. It is a great way to build a strong mind and body. This also includes taking care of oneself and making conscious choices that may lead to a healthier person. Not only that, there are several other significant reasons too, which are listed below. Firstly, when people pay attention to their fitness and body, they are likely to have more pleasing health and living habits. Health awareness paves the road to better habits and improved health. This is because being conscious of our diet and lifestyle can have a positive impact on our overall wellness. Some of these healthy habits may include the elimination of overly processed food or sugary drinks. Another habit might be incorporating a healthy and nutritionally rich diet as well as being physically active. Cultivating good habits like these may even lead you to abandon your harmful and unhealthy habits altogether. Moreover, when spending time-fighting health problems, people can keep infections away. Being health-conscious and relinquishing a balanced diet can assist us in avoiding excruciating disorders. Because healthy foods are essential sources of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients for the human body. These may include high fiber, calcium, and vitamin D content which are building blocks for improved wellbeing. Last but not least, exercise and health care can improve moods and promote calmness. The feeling of calmness is one of the most important benefits of awareness for your health. When people start living healthier, they tend to have better clarity of what's great for them and their well-being. This can be reflected in the incorporation of a healthy diet, the inclusion of a form of physical exercise be it running or swimming, and other practices that are beneficial for you. An unhealthy diet can lead to mood disorders as well as poor mental health. 
 
 
If people are in good health, they are among the wealthiest people on the planet. But many people suffer from chronic and short-term health problems because they simply lose focus on living a healthy lifestyle. From the way consumers eat to how they take care of their body, here are some tips on how to become health-conscious. Firstly, we should eat lots of fruits and vegetables to strengthen our immune system. Becoming health-conscious should start with observing healthy nutritional habits. Eating fruits and vegetables is one of the best ways one can improve and sustain overall health. Fruits and veggies are low in fats, salts, and sugars naturally. They contain essential vitamins and minerals, which help fight inflammation, prevent disease, and keep our body healthy and strong. They help in maintaining a healthy weight, lowering cholesterol, reducing blood pressure, and preventing stroke, and some types of cancers. While these vitamins and minerals are plentiful in whole fruits and veggies, they can also get them from nutritional supplements. In line with the folks from Integrative Therapeutics supplements, supplementing is one way to achieve daily nutritional needs. Nowadays, most meals may not contain an adequate amount of the minerals and vitamins needed for optimal health. Science-backed supplements can help fill in the gap left by the ordinary diet. Moreover, getting enough quality sleep also benefits our health and body. Sleeping is a golden chain that ties humans’ health and bodies together. A satisfactory rest will make a positive impact on our body throughout the entire day. Additionally, getting enough quality sleep is crucial as far as our overall health is concerned. It ensures our body is alert, refreshed, and rejuvenated to perform well the next day. Sleep helps the body heal damaged cells. 
Being conscious of our health will help improve our quality of life if not prolong it. It can help slow down aging and will spare us from the hefty hospital bills many people encounter. After all, we only live once, and we deserve a happy life free from agony, pain, and suffering because of avoidable mistakes and poor choices.

         <title>The importance of independence</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>The importance of independence</strong></div><div><br></div><div>Doctor Maria Montessori once said: “The only true freedom for an individual is to have the opportunity to act independently - there is no such thing as individuals until people can act themselves.” Undeniably, independence is a necessity in humans’ stamina because it gives them complete freedom and nurtures their maturity. Self-reliance is an inextricable factor that determines the future of one person and makes up for their success. This essay will present the benefits of independence and suggest how to be independent.</div><div><br></div><div>Being independent is worthwhile to individuals in several aspects. Firstly, independence boosts humans’ self-confidence and self-esteem. Individuals with high self-reliance have high qualities and elevated trust in their skills, as well as capabilities to handle any situation. As a result, this builds up their self-esteem and gives them inner values by gaining social respect. Therefore, independent people are more likely to have a positive outlook on life. Secondly, independence reduces stress and also promotes enjoyment. Susan B. Anthony once said, “Independence is happiness.” This sentiment is undeniably true. When humans are emotionally independent and have achieved some confidence, they know that they can better manage their emotions and problem-solving skills. Additionally, not having to wait for someone else to solve our problem also diminishes our anxiety. This is because life is mentally draining since there is too much to handle, and waiting for someone else for their decisions can add additional stress. Being able to self-solve strict problems can sharpen our abilities, and be more knowledgeable in handling stress, especially when the weight of the world is on our shoulders. Being independent also allows humans to help others, as it gives them the ability to care for themselves either emotionally or physically, giving them a better situation to provide support to others. In return, this creates more relationships between different people, promotes a sense of belonging, and increases life satisfaction. Moreover, humans are not narcissistic when they can manage to adapt to an independent lifestyle well. Instead, they are more concerned about their needs, so there is hardly any unnecessary or uncontrollable work. Most importantly, independence gives humans milestones for their&nbsp; plans and goals. By the time people have figured out how being independent has helped them, they can then go further than their plans, because there are numerous opportunities overhead. A self-disciplined person can make certain aspirations, and try their best to achieve them. Independence opens individuals up to new places, new adventures, more creativity, and more freedom. By challenging themselves to go through difficult tasks, people will benefit from unmeasurable advantages.</div><div><br></div><div>However, no one is born with independent-living skills. When people are struggling with their independence, there are some measures to be taken to help them develop themselves mentally. Firstly, people can stay motivated by writing to-do lists and tracking their progress. By setting clear goals, people can stay away from useless complications and have a valuable life, with the ability to achieve what they look up to. Detailed timetables also cut down unnecessary moments, and help people complete their work in time. Becoming active through hobbies and physical activities is also an effective method. When individuals manage to complete their hobbies by themselves, they acquire more skills to live independently without supervision. More importantly, people should not be afraid to speak up and voice their opinion. Speaking out loud develops confidence and sets a clear basis for people to live independently. The most important thing is to start doing small things without supervision. Each day, you can do something for yourself, even if it scares you a little. For instance, go grab a coffee on your own or go for a 30-minute hike. You can use these as building blocks to develop your independence.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Taking everything into consideration, it can be concluded that independence is extremely necessary for each individual. An independent lifestyle is full of freedom, satisfaction, and happiness since people can stand on their own feet to complete everything without each others’ interference.&nbsp;</div><div><br><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The busy and modern life has drastically altered the community's attitude toward leisure activities. There is an opinion that people can satisfy their hobbies only when they face complications and manage to overcome them. I partially agree with this statement and will fully present my point of view in the following essay.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>To begin with, the majority of people use their avocations to de-stress and leave the world's negativity and complexity behind. To put it differently, one of the main targets of leisure activities is to let people consolidate their feelings and emotions by shifting their attention from negative thoughts and difficulties, which they meet at work daily. Thus, hobbies should be engaging and not too challenging to give humans complete enjoyment. Individuals do not tend to do something they do not like or are not interested in. In other words, without interest, it is almost impossible to do a certain thing in the pastime regularly. Hard challenges waste humans’ energy and even make them more stressed or suffer from accidents. They release participants’ interest in such leisure activities. For example, bungee jumpers have to face a strong possibility of suffering from a crash and falling from a high distance, which threatens their life dramatically.&nbsp; Moreover, recreations are meant to arouse humans' attention and last for a long time, as well as help individuals forget about difficulties in the outer world. Nevertheless, not only are challenges unable to help humans reduce stress, but they also give them more stress and tiredness when taking part. Recent studies revealed that those who devote more time to their obsession tend to have more hormones of happiness in their bodies. This leads to increased life satisfaction and, also, positively affects the quality of life.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Secondly, an effortless and moderate pursuit is more appropriate as it maintains a sufficient amount of energy to be spent. It means that the human psyche is less likely to resist upcoming requests and will be ready to react as expected. Hard difficulties usually require physical or mental resources, resulting in an exhausted state. Thus, such activities are likely to be abandoned or avoided due to the excessive release of valuable energy. As a result, a vast number of people stop doing sporty activities and cannot make them a hobby because they over practiced at the early stages and exhausted their energy.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>On the other hand, for a group of people, the achievement of brilliant results and tackling problems are the only way to be satisfied. In other words, they prefer to always be in a situation, which requires effort from their side, and mere and quiet tasks cannot enjoy them. To illustrate this point, in a recent interview, a famous Russian tennis player mentioned that even though her job is continuous competition and physically hard-working, she could not accept and fully enjoy a hobby, which is not based on complex tasks. As a result, it is evidence that for some people satisfaction can be achieved only by performing complicated actions.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>In conclusion, we are all familiar with the fact that hobbies play an important role in our life. While some humans believe that only complicated activities can make us happy, I can only partially support the same point of view, as I think that for some of us hobbies are a way to relax emotionally and physically.</div><div><br><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Some employers want to be able to contact their staff at all times, even on holidays. Does this development have more advantages than disadvantages?</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In this competitive time, there is hardly enough time for humans to unplug during vacations, especially when they are obliged to stay in touch with employers during holidays. This social phenomenon is a multi-faceted problem with certain upsides and certain downsides, which will be mentioned below.</div><div><br></div><div>On the one hand, working during holidays provides both employers and employees with several benefits. Firstly, staying in touch with the boss all the time can help workers manage to handle all tasks on time without unpunctuality. Being informed of upcoming assignments in advance can give employees adequate time for completeness and cultivation regardless of their resting at home. An advance-reminder of work can give staff enough time for research and preparation, it can help us to avoid panicking and abruptness while working. Hence, the work will be handed in punctually with no rush and high quality. It also gives workers substantial trust and beliefs for their bosses, creating a high chance of promotion and a bonus to our salary. Moreover, in some specific fields, managers are entitled to contact their staf f for schedule adjustment and unforeseen meetings which will enhance the proficiency of the work. Additionally, following up with the workers will establish better communication and prevent any possible issues from taking place. As a result, problems can be detected and mitigated ahead of time. For instance, when an incident occurs on the weekend, communicating with the staff can result in resolving the issue without aggravating the situation.&nbsp;</div><div><br><br></div><div>On the other hand, monitoring the staff during holidays also creates numerous drawbacks to the companies. Firstly, being made to work during holidays makes employees lose their leisure time, which can result in a lack of motivation and disrupt their work-life balance. Undoubtedly, no employee likes to be contacted by their employer when they are at home or on holiday. This may&nbsp; lead to overworking, which may further lead to health risks and other related issues. It also invokes a feeling of resentment towards the employer, since some individuals are forced to work overtime outside working hours. The workers are likely to suffer from depression and anxiety because of having to overwork daily,have extreme feelings at the workplace, or may even consider seeking job opportunities elsewhere. No employer benefits from an unhappy workforce as it may affect the growth and success of an organization. As a result, companies have to face serious consequences related to employee retention and the losses that it may incur due to low productivity.</div><div><br><br></div><div>In conclusion, connectivity with employees during vacations has some positive development, but there are more negative impacts with employers reaching out to their resources related to work. Therefore, it is necessary for companies to interact with their employees restricted to work hours only as this will benefit both organization and staff.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Advantages and disadvantages of working abroad</title>
         <author></author>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Nowadays, working abroad is gaining lots of popularity because of several advantages that it provides us. It’s&nbsp; an outstanding opportunity for someone who is adventurous and loves to travel. However, since the foreign working environment is a double-edged sword and requires much adaptability, it is exhaustively challenging to work abroad. In this essay, I will present many of the difficulties and benefits that working overseas requires.</div><div><br></div><div>There are several hardships that overseas employees have to overcome to&nbsp; thrive. Firstly, workers may encounter language impediments and cultural shock when traveling overseas. While technology aid makes language less of a barrier, a lack of fluency adds additional challenges to living in a foreign country. While language difference barely exists in several countries, culture shock is one thing foreigners may have to overcome. Some individuals thrive on change, while others find it laborious to make adjustments. As StaffingSoft points out, culture amazement is a typical phenomenon many people experience. Adapting to a new culture, learning a new language, and a new way of doing things can be stressful, even when expatriates think they have prepared to deal with it. Once the excitement of an overseas move disappears, they can feel isolated. Workers will start missing family, friends, and even familiar places such as their favorite supermarket or neighborhood sandwich shop. One of the more significant problems is financial issues, since only a minority of students can afford travel expenses, accommodation, and visas. In addition, people may have to take low-income jobs if they are not fluent in the local language, so they may struggle to cover their expenses. However, family matters are also things that expats have to face. It is one thing to go overseas on your own, but if workers are accompanied by a spouse, partner, or other family members, there are additional disadvantages to working abroad. As Inc. points out, a family member may have spent years building a career but can not duplicate their situation overseas. Some individuals may also have to take a leave of absence from their current job or find other work, perhaps something that does not pay well. Therefore, working abroad is formidable and challenging but can be rewarding for adventurous and active workers.</div><div><br></div><div>Despite the previous challenges, working overseas also provides expatriate workers with certain benefits. Firstly, living abroad allows people to acquire a wealth of knowledge and cultivate more soft skills. They can get the opportunity to explore and immerse themselves in a new culture or to meet people from all over the world. People living overseas can also boost their confidence and learn to become independent. Undoubtedly, in unfamiliar surroundings, everyone is forced to adapt quickly and venture outside of their comfort zone. Any job can be found abroad, as long as the individual has sufficient experience and specific knowledge and can communicate in a foreign language. In Vietnam, manicurists are among the most common jobs among youngsters who decide to work overseas. The reason may be that this job does not require any academic knowledge or special skills. People may only have to take&nbsp; short vocational training before doing the job. However, the salary is still high as there is always a high demand for beauty in most European countries, and skilled workers are seriously lacking. Last but not least, when individuals spend time traveling abroad for employment, they can focus on outside events to learn about new cultures and events which enrich their life experiences and skills. For example, when living abroad, workers have to adapt quickly to their independent lifestyle and pick up a foreign language that supports their cognitive maturation.&nbsp;</div><div><br><br></div><div>Therefore, we should make it easier for individuals to work overseas as it provides certain benefits. As individuals, we can organize charity that supports foreigners traveling to our motherland for accommodation. Localists volunteer money to create campaigns that hire foreigners as main working resources. For first-year foreign workers, local employers can treat them in the most hospitable way and train them carefully to make careful training to help the workers acquire vocational skills. In Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam, there exists an organization called the Hanoi Union of Friendship Organizations that supports expatriate labor. On September 27, 2021, the organization cooperated with the Vietnamese government to hand out a total of 270 gifts to foreigners who were in desperate need of support. Politicians can deplete limitations on workers' age to broaden the number of varied employees. In Australia, only workers under 30 can easily get a visa, and those who are over a limited age struggle to start a business. Therefore, by letting workers of all ages start their career in a foreign country, the government will increase the influx of foreign laborers coming for employment.</div><div><br></div><div>In conclusion, working abroad is not for the easily frazzled. Individuals need self-determination and to not give up when it gets challenging. It is better if people are not afraid of the disadvantages of working overseas and don’t let them get the best of them.&nbsp;</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>When the topic of women's equality comes into view, there exist conflict options. While some people believe that females should play an equal role as males in the national police force or army, others hold the notion that women are unsuitable for these types of jobs. In this essay, I will present both perspectives and discuss my point of view.</div><div><br></div><div>There are several reasons why women are irresponsible in military work. First and foremost, females enclose corporal limitations and cognitive health to face a warfare atmosphere. In the past, women just held a supportive role in the military as nurses or food providers after the war. Moreover, women in the past were taught just to live and serve their family members and are unable to go to school, as a result, they did not have enough knowledge to write or read, especially being a part of an army. Moreover, countries with female leaders are no more peaceful on the whole. The reason for this is that politics is a tough life. For a woman to gain respect and power, she has to be aggressive and tough, even tougher than most men. Therefore, in the end, the decisions she makes are not likely to be any different from those of a man.</div><div><br></div><div>However, with technological advancement, there is no necessity to agonize about the capability of women as police or soldiers. Equipped with state-of-the-art technical devices and experienced training, women can portray as skillfully as men in catching lawbreakers, glimpsing drug smuggling, and combating in battles. Additionally, it is undeniable that some women have got the highest reward in sports or knowledge contests. It provides more real demonstrations of females' abilities on every side. Nevertheless, even though giving equal access to two genders is necessary, most are taking part in the military. They also have shown off how quickly they can get into a new environment, specifically the army lifestyle.&nbsp; Moreover,&nbsp; history has also shown that women play a significant role as men in wars. For example, they are the nurses and doctors who heal the soldiers in time or liaison people who keep contact between units. Concerning the emotional factor, females, in general, are more patient and sympathetic than males, which facilitates cooperation at work.</div><div>Hence, in the end, if we are serious about achieving world peace and reducing violence, we should focus on the root problems but not the gender of our leaders. What we need is for our citizens to become more involved in making societies better instead of just relying on leaders to solve our problems for us.</div><div><br><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Gender discrimination is one of the most alarming problems worldwide. While it has been actively revolutionized, gender inequality still exists in several parts of the world. In this essay, I will present some persistent phenomena and suggest some measures to alleviate the problem.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Representative phenomena of gender inequality exist in distinct fields in different parts of the world. This problem mostly happens to women in impoverished countries, where backward stereotypes exist. In developing nations such as India, South Sudan, and Afghanistan, females are still prevented from going to school. According to the UN, in 2017, nearly 130 million girls are illiterate due to a lack of education. In poor nations, the governments do not invest in females’ studies since they hold old stereotypes that girls are born to be housewives to support their families. Moreover, as discriminatory laws and social norms are not strict enough, women continue to be underrepresented at all levels of political leadership. Although women are allowed to join in the military and politics, hardly are there female supreme leaders held de facto. Moreover, since women are considered weaker folks, they can easily receive bullying and harassment. According to PeaceCorps, one in every five women and girls between the ages of 15 and 49 report experiencing physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner within 12 months. In actuality, not only women, but men can receive criticism and can easily commit suicide due to the effects of old stereotypes. Males feel pressure to be a ‘real man’ to be physically and emotionally strong, and be the main income earner. In relation to that, many workplaces don’t offer men extended parental leave or flexible hours. They are less likely to seek professional help or talk about their problems with friends or family. Undoubtedly, gender inequality exists in all genders, and a noticeable reason is the stereotype and traditional beliefs that make people fogyish and old-fashioned.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Gender disparities are not only a fundamental human right but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world. There are several methods that humans can follow to lessen the impact of gender discrimination. Firstly, the government should invest money in opening schools and reconstructing roads to give more women access to education. There are 130 million girls in the world who are not in school. Although there has been a significant boost in girls’ enrollment in schools, there is still much progress to be made. Although there are countless boys and girls worldwide who face barriers when trying to receive an education, there are several specific forms of discrimination that only affect girls. These include forced marriages at a young age, gender-based violence in school settings, and certain cultural or religious norms that restrict girls’ access to education. Thus, education is an extremely valuable resource for girls. According to the World Bank, better-educated women tend to be healthier, participate in formal labor markets, earn higher incomes and marry at a later age. By receiving an education, girls can develop fundamental skills and gain invaluable knowledge that allows them to thrive in their careers and simply make decisions that will improve their lives. Secondly, the governments can enact strict laws and rigorously control the execution. An unprecedented number of countries have laws against domestic violence and sexual assault. However, these laws often go ignored, jeopardizing women's and girls’ rights to their safety and justice. According to the UN, 47,000 women and girls worldwide were killed by their intimate partners or other family members in 2020. This means that, on average, a woman or girl is killed by someone in her own family every 11 minutes. Where trends can be calculated, they show that the magnitude of such gender-related killings remains largely unchanged, with only marginal increases and decreases over the past decade. The extent of sexual violence toward women and young girls is an extreme violation of human rights.&nbsp;</div><div>	</div><div>In conclusion, gender inequality is an astonishing problem that the whole world is facing. Humans should use solidarity to help prevent this negative phenomenon to maintain peace and happiness for all people.</div><div>&nbsp;<br><br></div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>How does culture change over time?</title>
         <author></author>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br>One universal thing about the nature of cultures is that they all change over time, although not to the same degree or at the same speed. The fact that cultures change is ingrained in what precisely culture is, and it is for the reason that humans know what it means for a culture to adapt. This essay will present the illustration of culture and culture change, and furnish how it changes to adapt to new technological advancements.<br><br></div><div>Culture and culture change are familiar terminologies that have been in use for epochs. Culture is a critical aspect of social life. It is at the base of the beliefs that inform people about distinct lifestyles, create religions, and even trigger conflicts between communities. This expression is also the combination of language, symbols, values, and artifacts that identify members of society. On the contrary, sociologists use cultural change to denote the manner and extent of change in society. As society experiences, cultural change, new behavioral patterns, social traits, norms, and values emerge to create new social structures. Innovation, invention, and contact with other societies can trigger cultural adaptation.<br><br></div><div>Cultural shifts can occur through new philosophical ideas or technological advancements. When people rebel against decrepit ideologies or find new theories for a problem, culture revolutionizes. For example, the heliocentric theory discovered by Galileo changed humanity’s beliefs about geocentric theory, and step by step opened a new world for cosmography. Another illustration of this is the discovery of the necessity of washing hands. In the 19th century, Ignas Semmelweis discovered that washing hands can help prevent illness better than performing a ritual. It formed new social norms for humans to wash their hands rather than pray to prevent diseases. A shift in norms and ideologies can result in changes in culture, and humans’ attitudes towards natural phenomena.&nbsp; Moreover, invention, the process of creating new cultural elements also leads to changes in culture. Inventions potentially can affect all cultural institutions. For instance, in the 1950s, televisions in American homes affected how family members interacted with each other as less time was available for direct conversation. Additionally, the size of houses in more affluent areas of the U.S are now usually 2-3 times larger than they were in the 1950s. As a consequence, family members often have their rooms and become even more isolated. Similarly, the introduction of effective birth control measures in the early 1960s allowed people to limit the number of children they had and space their births further apart. This affected the relationships between parents and their siblings.&nbsp; When there were fewer children, parents could give more attention to each one.&nbsp; Likewise, more money per child is available for clothes, entertainment, gifts, and education. The interrelated nature of cultural institutions can also be seen by the effects of changing roles for American women since the mid-20th century.&nbsp; Since more women moved into the workforce, they have been given financial independence and have altered traditional roles within the family. Men are less essential as breadwinners and less accepted as patriarchs. They have begun to take on more child rearing and other domestic household responsibilities previously defined as "women's work."&nbsp; Divorce has become an economically viable alternative for women in unpleasant marriages. Undoubtedly, several outer factors force culture change to thrive, including discoveries, inventions and so on.<br><br></div><div>Understandably, all cultures change through time and no culture is static. However, most cultures are conservative in that they tend to resist change. Some resist more than others by enacting laws for the preservation and protection of traditional cultural patterns while putting up barriers to alien ideas and things. For example, the French government has forbidden the commercial use of English words for which there are French equivalencies.&nbsp; This is a reaction, particularly to the widespread use and popularity of terms such as "sandwich" and "computer" among young people. More recently, Starbucks has found it very difficult to become established in France even though it is becoming successful elsewhere in Europe.&nbsp; In contrast, some cultures are extremely open to changes and adaptations. Over the last two decades, the People's Republic of China has been rapidly adopting western technology and culture in everyday life.&nbsp; This can be seen in their wide acceptance of everything from cell phones to American television shows and fast food.&nbsp; McDonald's has already established 560 of their restaurants in China and soon will be adding 100 more.&nbsp; The KFC fried chicken franchises have been even more popular.&nbsp; There are 1000 KFC outlets throughout the country with more than 100 in Beijing alone.&nbsp; In 2003, the Chinese government decided to require all children in their country, beginning with the 3rd grade of elementary schools, to learn English.&nbsp; This adaptation is likely to accelerate westernization.<br><br></div><div>Taking everything into consideration, it is acknowledged that culture changes over time, depending on historical events, the appearance of new inventions, and a shift in social norms and ideologies. However, since culture is the core of a country, it should not be lost fully by outside factors. Although some aspects of a culture can be adjusted to fit modern lives, its core is still irreplaceable and represents the characteristics of a specific country.&nbsp;</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>&nbsp;The busy and modern life has drastically altered the community's attitude toward leisure activities. There is an opinion that people can satisfy their hobbies only when they face complications and manage to overcome them. I partially agree with this statement and will fully present my point of view in the following essay.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>To begin with, the majority of people use their avocations to de-stress and leave the world's negativity and complexity behind. To be more specific, one of the main targets of leisure activities is to let people consolidate their feelings and emotions by shifting their attention from daily negative thoughts and difficulties to felicity and delight. Thus, hobbies should be engaging and not too challenging to give humans complete enjoyment. Individuals do not have the motivation to do something they do not like or are not interested in. In other words, without interest, it is challenging to do a certain thing in the pastime regularly. Hard challenges waste humans’&nbsp; energy and even make them more stressed or depression-prone. They lessen&nbsp; participants’ interest in such leisure activities. For example, bungee jumpers have to face a potentiality&nbsp; of suffering from a crash and falling from height , which threatens their life dramatically.&nbsp; Moreover, recreations are meant to arouse humans' attention and last for a long time, as well as help individuals forget about difficulties in the outer world. Nevertheless, not only are challenges unable to help humans reduce stress, but they also give them more stress and tiredness when taking part. Recent studies revealed that those who devote more time to their activity of choice tend to have more dopamine&nbsp; in their bodies. This leads to increased life satisfaction and, also, positively affects the quality of life.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Secondly, an effortless and moderate pursuit is more appropriate as it maintains a sufficient amount of energy to be spent. It means that the human psyche is more susceptible to&nbsp; requests and will be ready to react as expected. Hardships&nbsp; usually require physical or mental resources, resulting in a depleted state. Thus, such activities are likely to be abandoned or avoided due to the excessive release of valuable energy. As a result, a vast number of people stop doing sporty activities and cannot make them a hobby because they over practiced at the early stages and exhausted their energy.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>On the other hand, for a group of people, the achievement of brilliant results and tackling problems are the only way to be satisfied. In other words, they prefer to always be in a situation, which requires effort from their side, and a mere and quiet task can not fulfill their demand for satisfaction. To illustrate this point, in a recent interview, a famous Russian tennis player mentioned that even though her job is continuous competition and physically demanding, she could not accept and fully enjoy her job, which is not based on complex tasks. As a result, it is evident that for some people, satisfaction can be achieved only by performing complicated actions.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>In conclusion, we are all familiar with the fact that hobbies play an important role in our life. While some humans believe that only complicated activities can make us happy, I can only partially support this stance , as I think that for some of us, hobbies are a way to relax emotionally and physically.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>It is a widely-held notion in this day and age that technological advancements, particularly in the previous century, have affected how simple our lives used to be. It is generally acknowledged that as technology has advanced, our way of life has become more complex. Recently, it has been proposed as a solution to this issue that individuals might live simpler lives by avoiding technology.</div><div><br></div><div>Since there was no advancement in facilities worldwide, in the beginning, everyone had a simple existence and lived thoroughly. To further clarify, owing to the lack of any kind of transportation, individuals must walk great distances on foot. People used to exist without cell phones, which made it impossible for them to contact their loved ones in case of an emergency. Additionally, women used to do their usual daily chores by hand, like sweeping, combining spices, and cooking food over coals. All of the aforementioned examples unambiguously demonstrate that early life was not easy and that people had to endure more hardship and labor than those in the current generation.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks to technology, lives nowadays are more pleasant and exciting. Firstly, with the existence of technology, people may access and use the power of the Internet and the World Wide Web whenever they need assistance. Individuals can now learn how to manage their anxiety and sadness through the Internet, enabling them to lead happier and more fruitful lives. Through playing online games, users can also learn how to use their imagination and creativity. Games like video games and role-playing games have been launched by gaming websites to assist people to relax when they need a break from their daily lives and to help them plan their winning strategy. In addition, technology enables us to live fuller and richer lives. The complexity of life makes it harder for us to get by using simple manual labor. We can now plan and construct a living and working space simultaneously thanks to technology. Our way of life has improved, and people now have more free time and options for enjoyment and education. By using technology, people may browse through many platforms and apps for fun and feel a sense of contentment and independence they never would have imagined possible. But technology can also have detrimental effects on people's lives. As a result of technology, an increasing number of people develop an addiction to the Internet and find it difficult to function without electrical appliances. Children now spend more time playing games and browsing the internet, leaving them with less time for their academia . Adults waste their time and money online conversing and reading magazines that appear trivial, much like teenagers.</div><div><br></div><div>To sum up, I believe that modern automation has made life so simple that anything is at your fingertips. However, I also think that people shouldn't completely rely on these technologies because doing so could have a negative impact on the future generations' health. Everyone should arrange their schedule appropriately and complete some manual work to keep themselves more active.</div><div><br></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Young people are now spending more and more time and money following fashion trends. What is your opinion? Is this a positive or negative development?</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>These days, it is increasingly common for the youth to keep up with the latest fashion trends. Fashion is becoming an important tool for individuals to pass their message across. From my standpoint, this trend entails both positive and negative effects on the youth.</div><div><br></div><div>On the one hand, catching up with the latest hot trends brings about several upsides. Firstly, no sooner do juveniles pursue stylish items than they can immensely promote their self-confidence and leave a pleasing impression on others. Accordingly, a good-looking appearance can bring them several miracles in their personal life and pave the way for their career prospects, especially if they want to work in the fashion industry. Furthermore, wearing a pleasant aesthetic is deemed to demonstrate the wearer’s financial standing and taste. As a result, they are likely to attract more attention from people with similar looks, which creates a favorable condition for them to mingle with like-minded people and expand friendship circles.</div><div><br></div><div>On the other hand, this phenomenon may have several negative impacts on young people. The most noticeable one is its adverse effects on juvenile minds. Instead of investing in books and studying, teenagers spend a lot of energy searching for trendy clothes and try to imitate fashionistas and celebrities. This will make them more materialistic, thus being judgmental about other people’s clothes and fashion sense. Furthermore, being fashionable has financial repercussions on families. Since the world of fashion is always changing, keeping up with trends constantly is astronomical. This phenomenon can cause conflicts and tensions between parents and their financially dependent children.</div><div><br></div><div>In conclusion, my view is that although following trends is beneficial in terms of meeting the needs of novelty and boosting confidence, it is essential to consider that they also harm young people’s cognitive development and put a financial strain on their families.</div>]]></description>

         <title>Many countries now face an economic downturn so it is better for each country to focus on its own problems rather than helping other countries. To what extent do you agree or disagree?  Use specific reasons and examples to support your position.</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>There is an on-going economic crisis across the globe and several countries are more badly affected than others. Some argue that stabilizing one’s own economy should be prioritized instead of lending a helping hand to other countries. In this essay, I will discuss how the sharing of resources can change the fortunes of a country and the importance of adherence to world order, along with relevant examples to support my point.</div><div><br></div><div>To begin with, one nuance which should be taken into consideration when it comes to this debatable question is the fact that some countries do not have possibilities to tackle their complications by themselves. To put it differently,&nbsp; specific areas of our world always suffer from the environmental disasters which entail issues for people living in these locations, and the problems cannot be solved without the aid from different parts of the planet. For instance, Georgia has a harsh climate, and every year its residents suffer from drought. Thus, people who reside in the countryside of Georgia do not have possibilities to grow their crops, and only with help from other countries can they tackle the problems. Moreover, coexistence has come into prominence since the advent of globalization. Sharing of resources such as knowledge and artillery has become a norm with many countries benefiting along with the resurrection of the global economy. During an economic crisis, a country cannot isolate itself from the world and try to get its economy back on track. The trade has to be carried out with multiple countries and knowledge has to be shared with others. To illustrate this, an Oxford University research states that foreign direct investments were instrumental in getting the Greek economy up to 6.5% growth with FDI (foreign direct investment)accounting to 20% of revenue. Therefore it is conclusively clear that countries have to mutually assist one another during a crisis.</div><div><br><br></div><div>In addition, by supporting other regions, countries can obtain some brilliant benefits. For instance, two or more countries can organize a community which could potentially help to resolve the difficulties of each other. As an example, Russia and Belarus have recently signed an agreement where they promised to protect and respect each other, and they have decided to share some resources between them. As a result, in this complicated period of time, both governments could maintain stability in some spheres of their citizens' life.</div><div><br></div><div>In conclusion, we are all too familiar with the drastic situation which takes place in many countries nowadays. While some people argue that governments should prioritize the resolution of their own issues, I totally believe that they must aid others as this movement has a multitude of positive aspects.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Marketing and promotion are the key for a successful business. To what extent do you agree?</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Marketing, in association with promotion, plays a crucial role in any company's competitiveness in the market. Although these factors are quite reasonable, the quality of the product and staff competence are the most significant key factors.</div><div><br></div><div>There are several benefits that marketing provides individuals. Firstly, marketing and promotion are essential to building brand awareness. It is vital as every business aims to attract consumers to purchase their products. Campaigns and advertisements are part of the activities that ensure that consumers acknowledge the brand's presence and the goods they offer in the very first place. Hence, marketing strategy should be thoroughly planned, because attractive advertisements will draw the public’s initial interest in trying the product. For instance, The Body Shop has been promoting its environmentally-friendly body products to draw the public’s initial attention and to give assurance to first-timer customers that their products are safe. Therefore, these constant engagement activities can gain people's initial preference for brands. Secondly, marketing strategy is vital for a company to maintain its presence in society. Although many companies work in relatively similar industries, marketing and promotion activities assure that the brand's image and products are well distinguished and embedded in the memory of the consumers. Companies should continue to engage their customers, as it is important to ensure that the customers are still buying the products to boost the company's revenue. For instance, Dunkin Donuts continuously sends text messages containing promotions to people around the store, which reminds the nearby customers that they should buy a doughnut with the promotion available, and the method has been proven effective. With constant reminders, customers' loyalty is more likely guaranteed.</div><div><br></div><div>Meanwhile, the adequate quality of a brand together with exemplary staff services is key to success for any entrepreneur.&nbsp; Initially, if the commodity is of poor quality, no matter how much money is spent on advertising, it will not rectify the situation immediately. As a result, it will exacerbate the reputation and income of the company. Besides, the services that are provided by massive corporations equally influence its prosperity. For instance, among various car brands, Lamborghini is the most well-known due to its excellent quality and after-sales service, which presents the loyalty of a group towards their customers.</div><div><br></div><div>In summary, marketing and promotion, without dispute, affect consumers, yet they should be adequately strategic and constantly subsidized. However, if funds are more employed in quality and staff development it will boost the profitability of a company along with its reputation.</div><div><br><br><br><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Some people think the spread of multinational companies and globalization produce positive outcomes for everyone. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Nowadays, everyone is part of an intensive global village. Globalization has opened various opportunities for both national and international companies in developed and underprivileged states, paving the way for a different world. In the past, the term globalization attracted much criticism, especially from economists. However, slowly, it got accepted by everyone and now; the whole world believes this trend is pivotal for constructive development. I completely agree with this statement and will discuss the same in the below essay.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>To start with, globalization flagged multiple groups to check on openings available in weak nations. A plethora of establishments started their businesses under such a regime, creating numerous employment opportunities and the need for infrastructure development in that area. Local business ports also benefited from this change as they got to provide much-needed raw materials for construction and hence entered the global market for their products. For example, Tata Steel is renowned worldwide for supplying steel to many industries. The Starbucks coffee brand, established by an American, allows various pupils to get part-time jobs since they have several branches covering all parts of the world. Consequently, Many individuals at a young age can generate wages, which sometimes requires an inexperienced person.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Furthermore, the invasion of multinational corporations brought wealth and foreign currency to much-needed small regions. This adds to the country's overall budget and is used further for healthcare, education, infrastructure, etc. Many job prospects build up the realm's economy as people tend to spend money and pay taxes for the money earned and spent. This added income can be used again for the well-being of citizens. Take some Asian countries such as India and China as an example. India is now the most sought-after country for any company's investment due to its cheap labor and government support.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>On the flip side, the spread of multinational companies has some drawbacks too. Firstly, international companies do not give much importance to the environmental effects that they are causing in the host countries. In addition, increased competition from multinational companies may affect the local industries and result in the closure of some decades-old local businesses. Furthermore, these so-called companies are powerful in terms of finance and influence, which might result in controlling the resources of a country. That eventually creates a monopoly and unfair trade practices.</div><div><br></div><div>In conclusion, globalization provides a lot of positive effects if we think in wider terms, but we can not generalize these effects as positive to everyone. Just like every system, it also has some negative effects. Therefore, governments should keep an eye on everything when they open their economy to the world market.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Some think scientists should be allowed to send messages into space to communicate with other life forms while others believe this is too dangerous.Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Space exploration has always been a fascinating thing for scientists and the general population in this contemporary era. While some people speculate that experts should be permitted to transmit messages into outer space to search for another living creature in the cosmos, others believe it could lead to&nbsp; disastrous or catastrophic consequences. This essay asserts that researchers should search for other life forms for the welfare of humankind.</div><div><br></div><div>Nowadays, scientists believe that 99% of the area in space has been explored, and they do not know if life exists beyond mother earth. To acknowledge life's existence on other planets, humans must have a strategy in advance. Until now, individuals have sent unmanned space objects to gather data from the universe. In previous decades, people had already replied to the incoming waves and it was considered safe. Hence, it becomes empirical that life exists beyond the planet, and people must find the source of those strong frequency messages.</div><div><br></div><div>Searching for extraterrestrials brings individuals certain advantages. First and foremost, forwarding messages into space to initiate a conversation with the alien living entity by scientists undoubtedly helps to expand human knowledge. For example, if experts understand aliens' survival through interplanetary communication, it unquestionably helps researchers learn newer dimensions of the lifestyle of an extraterrestrial civilization. Besides, demographers believe that research into outer space could lead to vital discoveries that can aid humans and bring about innovative growth. For instance, it is believed that the latest 5G technology was brought to light as a result of research carried out in outer space. Additionally, discovering new planets can be beneficial to us when it comes to finding an alternative planet to live on. At the moment, climate change has affected us in diverse negative ways. For example, research has shown that more bushfires have occurred in the last few years than before, destroying both trees and soil resulting in air pollution and poor health. Exploring space and sending messages across it gives human beings a better idea of what is out there and to find out whether space is habitable so that if our planet eventually becomes destroyed we would have another home for survival. Needless to say, all these merits stand out in good stead, as far as augmenting the chances of prosperity and excellence is concerned.</div><div><br><br></div><div>However, some individuals argue that communicating with unknown living beings might commence unprecedented repercussions. For instance, if they feel intimidated by humans, they may initiate war with planet earth. In addition, aliens will come to invade people and nature alike and steal our precious bodily fluids. Moreover, it is also believed that interaction with other life forms could lead to the invention of dangerous and unknown harmful illnesses which could pose a threat to human existence. For example, people believe that if the recent COVID-19 epidemic was a result of an experiment with a monkey, worse diseases can arise from a species in another area of space. This research is also eating deep into the world's finance. Moreover, since we have not fully understood the composition of the elements in space, it would be far too dangerous to communicate with them. Space is still a gray area so it is still uncertain whether its constituents are harmful to mankind or not. For instance, to travel there requires much effort and takes years to prepare. Many people who have attempted to go to space have died in the process, so it would be detrimental to continue in this part.</div><div><br></div><div>In conclusion, although having a two-way conversation with outer territory living extraterrestrials leads to innovation and discoveries in a newer realm of science, its shortcomings can be negotiated. It appears that it explores new ideas and creativity for the benefit of human beings.</div><div><br><br><br><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>To survive in this competitive world, the company manager needs to make numerous strategic decisions by considering the company’s strengths and weaknesses. While some individuals assert that firm managers ought to make the necessary decisions alone, others argue that staff should be included in any important decision-making process. I wholeheartedly support the former point of view as I deem that involving employees during the time of management decisions is conducive to getting a deeper insight into the company’s external and internal factors.</div><div><br></div><div>On the one hand, decisions taken by the managers or directors alone are considered to be beneficial in that they know better about the overall mechanisms as well as the financial position of their firm, which is not always known to all employees. That is why when experienced managers set goals for a company, it is neither unrealistic nor unachievable because the top has acknowledged fully the whole company’s scenario. Therefore, bosses can make adjustments and changes to the goals in order to fit the whole company’s capability. To cite an example, an empirical survey conducted by Oxford University reveals that in China, 95% of companies’ goals have been achieved in 2010 down to following guidelines and instructions received from the top management.&nbsp; Therefore, it should be noted that to increase productivity, managers should make up their minds alone.&nbsp;</div><div><br><br></div><div>On the one hand, staff should be given the right to speak out their thoughts and comments before companies’ important decisions. There can be an immense number of favorable outcomes if the company’s personnels are added in the decision making process. Although the top management has a better idea about the position of a firm, it is worth arguing that employees should be included during the decision-making time. This is because employees not only have ideas about the organization’s internal day-to-day tasks and challenges but also know better about the competitors’ products, and policies; to name just a few. Due to their subject matter expertise, the engagement of workers in policy-making can be a significant contributory factor towards the success of the organization. For example, they can easily explain the loopholes in the system, whether it is customer satisfaction or the demand and supply section. Moreover, the more people contribute their opinions on one problem, the more the bosses have to reconsider their choices, therefore making appropriate adjustments to the company’s important decisions.&nbsp; Thus, if management does not include staff in a decision-making meeting, there is a high chance of overlooking some critical factors, leading the company to face a huge financial loss. For example, in 2010, Nokia lost the market share in Bangladesh due to not having an idea about the competitors’ move that was known to their employees very well. Furthermore, when the staff becomes a part of decision-making, it eventually raises their sense of accountability. This is because it makes them feel like playing a prominent ride for the welfare of their workplace. Finally, all the work done with co-operation will definitely make the work environment more conducive and hence there will be a surge in productivity of the staff. Therefore, it is necessary that the leaders consider workers’ opinions and let them freely express their thoughts about the company’s big choice.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>&nbsp;In conclusion, even though management knows some facts better than employees, it cannot help to gain competitive advantages. Hence, I unequivocally buttress the stand of involving staff in the decision-making process.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Should advertisements be regulated?</title>
         <author></author>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Nowadays, it can be easily witnessed that advertisements strongly influence people since it is altering their buying desire for products. The spread of advertising worldwide is one of the fundamental factors leading to a rise in companies' profits, so they resort to alternative methods to expand their earnings, even by using rebellious ones. Therefore, promotions must be rigorously regulated to preclude the spread of false information about products and maintain their innate qualities.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>One of the significant determinants of billboards is that they prompt youngsters to purchase products without a deliberate intention in advance. Many shops in malls intentionally display arresting pictures and use virtual merchandising to make buyers consume more. There are also several discounts which strongly attract people who have weaker self-control. Young shopaholics are also likely to lack money-management skills since they are attracted by everything they come across and are willing to spend all their fortune to satisfy their demands rather than their needs. For instance; when young girls go shopping; they first plan to buy a new pair of jeans for the summer holidays, but are attracted by the latest Dior lipstick; so they change their minds and waste all their money on the lipstick; until they realize they have not got any jeans. Thus, if the immaturities waste days in e-commerce plazas, it will be extremely hard for them to keep being rational in consumption. However, advertisements should also be under control to avoid the spread of false information urging consumers to purchase disqualified services and goods. The government should intervene in the trading market and impose strict laws managing the quality of the information in advertisements. Nowadays, there are fake accounts that provide artificial information about services or house commodities, which should be censored rigidly. Additionally, the regulation of advertising can lessen the appearance of several buildups that jeopardize human safety. For example, companies should not use billboards that contain video or flashing images because they may lead to distractions and road accidents for drivers. Preventing companies from placing their ads everywhere can avoid chaos and visual distortion for citizens and tourists. The government must specify a specific place where billboards and other forms of advertising are allowed. For example, the Chinese government decided that billboards cannot be placed within 500 feet of stadiums, gardens, and forests to protect these areas from advertising and not to distort their appearance. Moreover, managing advertisements is capable of protecting consumers from fake offers, whether online or offline, to avoid losing money.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>In conclusion, the government should promote regulations in advertising to regulate their usage and prevent wrong information from being provided. By taking practical actions, the government can prevent the appearance of billboards on illegal sites and infract companies that are against the laws of advertising.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><br><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Many old buildings protected by law are part of a nation&#39;s history. Some people think they should be knocked down and replaced by new ones. Do you agree or disagree</title>
         <author></author>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>At the time being, the topic of replacing old buildings defended by the government with modern constructions has provoked much controversy. As historical objects and construction sites are considered to be essential cultural heritage, I believe they should not be knocked down. This essay will thoroughly discuss the importance of keeping old buildings and the downsides of devastating them.</div><div><br></div><div>Without a doubt, old walls provide humans with several benefits. Firstly, exploring old buildings allows individuals to uncover aspects of recorded roots and consequently boost cultural knowledge. It is worth saying that all objects from the past consist of meaningful messages defined as priceless for the whole society. Additionally, many old buildings have become the witnesses of some special or tragic moments in a particular country. One of the examples would be the Hoa Lo Prison in Vietnam. It is an old building erected during the French colonial era in the 19th century and was formerly used as a prison to punish communists who fought for independence. Nowadays, it is maintained as a museum to commemorate people who had sacrificed their lives for the country. Besides, preserving historical infrastructures also mirrors our ancestry and culture, and maintaining it will depict how we give importance to our heritage. For instance, the Ifugaos in the Mountain Province live in their old Nipa lodges and refuse to adopt the modern style of houses. They argue that doing so will be a simple way to prove their love for their culture.</div><div><br></div><div>Furthermore, knocking down old construction sites also produces more carbon footprints. Demolishing an old energy-consuming building and constructing a well-insulated replacement was believed to be better for the climate. This is now considered wrong due to the amount of carbon emitted during the construction of a new building. To be more specific, cement, concrete's key ingredient, has a massive carbon footprint. According to the estimation brought about by The Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors, 35 percent of the lifecycle carbon from a typical office development is emitted before the building opens, and the figure for residential premises is 51 percent. What can be inferred from these calculations is that it will be decades before some new buildings pay back their carbon debt by saving more emissions than they created - and these are decades when carbon reduces. Therefore, wrecking ancient constructions is disadvantageous on countless sides.</div><div><br></div><div>Although building modern skyscrapers have recently played a pivotal role in urban innovation, it does not mean that people have become more careless toward historical sites. When constructing new sites, people constantly refer to their history to compare or emulate past examples. Coinciding with saving ancient architecture, renovating old parts of the cities is also increasing among different countries. Nowadays, historical buildings maintained by the state government are standing along with the new skyscrapers. Many people believe that the combination of these old and modern buildings has made the city fascinating and attractive. As a result, they become tourist destinations. To exemplify, in Moscow, ample ways of development are combined with cultural aspects to demonstrate historic periods of the country so more than thousands of people come to visit this metropolis city annually.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>In conclusion, retaining the historical buildings is an important thing, because they have become eye-witnesses to some important events. And it is a fact that the combination of old and modern buildings brings a lot of benefits for the city and the country as well.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Over the past few years, space exploration has been one of the most discussed topics in today's society. While some people suggested that studying space is crucial for humanity, others argued that it is somewhat of a waste of resources. In this essay, I will discuss both sides of the argument, while strongly opining on the advantages.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Despite the current trend of investing in scientific research to explore space, some people oppose the idea and believe that the government should rather deal with the ongoing problems on Earth before going to outer space. This is because the survival of humanity should be the priority and the enormous spending on space exploration has achieved little except for a slight advancement in technology that can instead be used to improve the living conditions of the human population. Not to mention the excessive consumption of resources and energy that can be utilized for other means. To exemplify, according to the New York Times, the expenses of the NASA moon landing which cost over 1 billion dollars can be used to put Americans out of poverty.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>On the other hand, space research is considered to be an essential finding to address the fundamental questions about the planet's existence and the universe. Investigating the galaxy allows us to discover new findings of the potential danger beyond our planet and opens endless possibilities to learn about other territories that are habitable. Moreover, space exploration stimulates new scientific discoveries and the evolution of technology. For instance, the Chinese authority was able to detect possible incoming asteroids and predict the location of impact. Though the existing issues in our world should indeed be prioritized, the funds put forth to space science can favor the development of advanced technology that is advantageous to our lives. &nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;Moreover, nowadays, there has been an Internet service called Internet Starlink, which was created by the billionaire Elon Musk. He put thousands of satellites into space connecting the Internet to millions of users across the globe. With Starlink, users can engage in activities that historically have not been possible with satellite internet. Therefore, it is undoubted that exploring space opens a bright future for humanity.</div><div><br></div><div>In conclusion, although there are certain opinions against space exploration, from my perspective, I believe that exploring the expanse beyond Earth can be beneficial in many ways.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br></div><div>Nowadays, we are living in an information age, when online networks are in full swing. Artificial Intelligence has emerged as a formidable tool that restructures the education sector by enhancing learning’s efficiency and accessibility. As a double-edged sword, technology has both positive and negative impacts on education worldwide, which will be discussed below.</div><div><br></div><div>On the one hand, worldwide access to Internet has been credited with numerous educational benefits. Firstly, it has proven to be an endless source of regularly-updated information that can be accessed via a simple mouse click. Thus, it enables learners across the globe to access a fortune of knowledge shared by a plethora of online learning pages and groups. Reference materials, for example, IELTS-related ones, appear numerously on Facebook, which can assist learners in enhancing their skills. Secondly, it also provides users with an enormous range of educational sites online, where the majority of lessons are not only free but also beneficial for learners. A fine example of such sites is TedEd, a massive provider of Internet-based lectures, which are free and helpful to learners. Moreover, thanks to the widespread use of the Internet, any request for assistance can be transferred quickly, fulfilling its purpose immediately. For example, with just a mouse click, pupils can go online, seeking suggestions for whatever problems they cannot solve, or discussing their viewpoints for the most appropriate answer. Furthermore, besides entertainment, videos on social platforms may inspire viewers in their educational courses. Specifically, several clips act as an advising function, offering tips on how to prepare for crucial exams or sailing through significant tests such as IELTS or SAT. Finally, communication technology helps tackle the difficulties in long-distance relationships. With the advancement of technology, students in remote areas can access a wide range of information via online classes or remote-learning programs.</div><div><br></div><div>Nevertheless, Artificial Intelligence also brings about several recognizable problems. Firstly, cell phones distract students from their schoolwork. Studying without the strict supervision given to students conventionally, learners with electronic gadgets may be more vulnerable to the various distractions on the Internet. Thus, only self-disciplined individuals can fully benefit from going online, since they acknowledge the necessity of learning. Furthermore, online research can be time-consuming. But for teachers’ supervision, teenagers might surf the Internet, following Tiktok trends, which lowers the amount of time that is supposed to be dedicated to other useful academic and extracurricular activities. Reduced study time is equivalent to lowering academic performance, which would be detrimental to their application to universities during high-school graduation in the long term. In addition to distracting students in class, phones may also damage pupils’ cognitive and critical thinking skills. With the various tools and resources provided by phones, formerly challenging tasks now become effortless. For example, instead of focusing on a lecture to identify its key points, students equipped with smartphones can simply record the lecture entirely. This feature of the cellphone may lead students to become overdependent on the device and lose the ability to think by themselves. Undoubtedly, in cases where numerous students tap on the screen at once, teachers may struggle to supervise what students are doing in class. Whether teachers can ensure all students, focus on the same subjects without being inattentive is a monumental challenge due to its functionality as an entertainment device.</div><div><br></div><div>Taking everything into consideration, it can be acknowledged that the advantages and disadvantages of artificial intelligence are equivalent. Therefore, there should be a balance between using electronic gadgets and self-studying in classes to maintain learning’s efficiency.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br></div><div>Nowadays, there has been an increase in the demand of using batteries. This demand stems from the fact that billions of people use electronic gadgets that consume electricity. These gadgets include cell phones, laptops, and digital cameras, which are powered by batteries by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. However, to complete the work fluently, each battery contains hazardous and toxic materials like cadmium, lithium, and lead. Morally, once running out of energy, batteries should be depleted appropriately. Nevertheless, due to the lack of awareness, millions of tons of batteries are tossed into bins by consumers every year. While throwing away batteries may seem harmless, it can have detrimental effects on the environment, which will be discussed alongside the recycling processes below.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Depleting batteries into the environment can create toxic pollutants that severely affect the environment and human health. Firstly, when depleted batteries are thrown into the bins, they end up in landfills where they decay and leak. As batteries corrode, their chemicals soak into the soil and contaminate groundwater and surface water. Our ecosystems, which contain thousands of aquatic plants and animals, will be heavily polluted when filled with battery chemicals. As a result, when drinking tap water, humans could be ingesting dangerous metals. Moreover, improperly-disposed batteries are dangerous pollutants. For example, lithium batteries can cause landfill fires that can ignite for many years. As a result, the toxic chemicals released into the air negatively affect our lungs and contribute to global warming. The liquid form of exposed metals in batteries also gets trapped in the atmosphere and pollutes lakes and streams as acid rain. Moreover, improperly-disposed batteries negatively affect human health. When throwing batteries into the environment, we are exposed to burns and dangers to our eyes and skin caused by the harmful acids found in batteries. Toxic metals like nickel and cadmium in batteries can also cause cancer in our bodies. When these agents interact with our air and water, we risk developing cancerous disabilities. Another toxic metal found in batteries is lead, which causes medical issues like developmental damage and inborn disabilities. Therefore, despite their harmless appearance, small batteries can wreak havoc on human health detrimentally.</div><div><br></div><div>Because of the harmful effects of batteries on human health, a plethora of people nowadays acknowledge the importance of recycling batteries. They collect batteries and store them in their homes, then they bring their collection to battery-processing destinations weekly. In battery-precessing places, the process usually starts with chemists sorting different types of metals contained in batteries. Each distinct metal is placed in prepared boxes for different types of recycling. Then, chemists have to remove the easily-burnt material with a thermal oxidizer. Contaminants created by the burning process are also eliminated before the gases are depleted into the atmosphere. The remaining parts of the batteries are clean cells with metal materials. The cells are then chopped into small pieces and heated until the metal melts. Non-metallic substances are burnt off, leaving black ashes in the laboratory, which are removed by protective gloves. The metallic parts left by recycling batteries are liquified, having their surface removed. When all melting metals are extracted, they are gathered to remake a new battery. Then the remade batteries are sold again in trading markets, working efficiently again. However, recycling batteries is not always easy, since they are explosive and combustible. Apart from nickel; lithium, cadmium, and other heavy-metal substances require intensive recycling processes. Nowadays, despite several impediments, there has been an advancement in chemical recycling techniques, making the battery recycling industry more promising and environmentally friendly.</div><div><br></div><div>Battery recycling provides mankind with recognizable merits, which will be presented below. Firstly, it helps protect the environment from battery pollutants and protects soils. It is acknowledged that batteries depleted carelessly into the environment can erode hectares of soil, affecting agricultural development. Thousands of crops cannot be harvested due to soil erosion and lack of farming lands. When recycling batteries, people can reduce the frequency of acid rain, land, and water pollution that seriously contaminate the ecosystem. Moreover, by recycling old batteries, people can make the best of reused batteries without needing to make new ones with raw materials from mining. Therefore, they can save natural resources, especially when the world suffers from inadequate natural supplies. Overexploiting natural fuels acts as a key factor in causing global warming and resource deficit. Additionally, recycling batteries can decrease the harmful impacts of heavy metals on human health. Not exposed to toxic substances through drinking water faucets, mankind can avoid suffering from congenital disabilities and cancer. Therefore, recycling batteries can bring about undeniable advantages to the ecosystem, generate overall well-being and protect agricultural farming lands.</div><div><br></div><div>Taking everything into consideration, it can be concluded that batteries are toxic contaminants to the environment and act as health destructors. Therefore, there should be a raised awareness among citizens to collect batteries to recycle. However, all processes should be done in laboratories or factories where efficient pieces of equipment and protective clothing are provided to ensure safety and bring about protection.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>VIETNAM - SINGAPORE TRADE</title>
         <author>daophuonganhnshn123</author>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Singapore is one of the most important foreign investors in Vietnam, contributing largely to the country’s economic development. According to economists, the Vietnam-Singapore trade is likely to flourish, since Singaporean investors have begun investing in potential fields.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>During the first week of July, several Singaporean organizations attended the Singapore Regional Business Forum, which took place in Hanoi. The event is expected to open new opportunities for Vietnamese and Singaporean potential fields, awaiting an upcoming investment ahead. It served as an ideal chance for Vietnamese companies to unlock new opportunities and pave the way for successful businesses in the nation. With the aim to strengthen regional collaboration for sustainable growth, the event has connected leaders, government officials, academics in the region to enhance regional partnerships and explore sustainable business opportunities. It also accelerates economic relations and boosts industrial links between Singapore and Vietnam.</div><div><br></div><div>Several chairmen of Singaporean organizations have different intentions to invest in the Vietnamese market, but all have a willingness to seek new opportunities in high-potential fields. While the chairman of the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry insists on developing the food industry, urban infrastructure and environmentally friendly industries, the executive co-chairman of VSCC demands investing to promote the urbanization in Vietnam by integrating regions and enhancing smart urban planning. Receiving all these optimistic investments, Vietnam is likely to attract more attention from developed Asian nations, namely South Korea, Japan or Singapore. Furthermore, Singaporean organizations have succeeded in traditional fields in Vietnam, and are looking forward to raising capital for the real estate, banking and finance in Vietnam. Until now, the Singaporean firm COT has worked on a venture in Hung Yen to develop a project on electronics, electro-optics and VR. In banking and finance, UOB was the first bank to set up a foreign direct investment advisory unit in Vietnam, helping over 250 firms expand into the nation, making an investment of billions of dollars. Elsewhere, in real estate, several Singaporean firms have focused on Ho Chi Minh city infrastructure development, making Singapore the biggest foreign investor in this Vietnamese city.&nbsp; &nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>For the time being, Singaporean organizations have noticed a potential in investing in two major cities: Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. It has been said that Ho Chi Minh City’s growing population, high economic growth, skilled workforce and competitive trading market attributed Singaporean firm’s interest. The city specializes mainly in IT, finance, banking, retail and healthcare. Like Ho Chi Minh city, Hanoi is one of the most appealing cities for Singaporean investors. Thanks to the robust investment, Hanoi is making infrastructure preparation to await new investment waves in production plants from Singaporean investors.</div><div><br></div><div>Undoubtedly, Singapore was the largest foreign investor in Vietnam in 2022, with capital up to 6 billion dollars, making one fourth of the country’s total foreign investment. However, to control the Vietnamese market effectively, it is compulsory to have a local agency resourceful in the investment landscape. This approach is likely to enhance efficiency and practicality when it comes to the Vietnamese market. In fact, the year 2022 witnessed the signing of five agreements and numerous MOUs between Singapore and Vietnam, forging closer ties between the two nations in terms of trade, digital economy, cyber-security and clean energy. Gradually, Singapore ranks among the top investors in Vietnam. It remains the top position among ASEAN countries and the second nation among the 141 countries investing in Vietnam. Singapore’s investments take place in 51 out of 63 cities and provinces in Vietnam, and conversely, Vietnam boasts 140 investment projects in Singapore with the total capital of 586 million dollars.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Apart from the notable advantages of Vietnam-Singapore trade, Vietnam also encountered and overcame significant challenges within Vietnam’s investment landscape. These include impediments such as restrictions on foreign capital, investment conditions and government’s interference.</div><div><br></div><div>Although Singapore is a relatively small country, it plays an indispensable role in connecting investments and facilitating trade in the investment impact of Singapore in Vietnam has never cooled down. Since the 1990s, Singapore has been positioned among the four pioneering ASEAN countries in exploring Vietnam’s investment market. However, due to the worldwide economic decline in 2023, sustaining the growth of investment value between the two countries at equivalent level faces huge challenges. It is difficult to increase the trading value between the two nations or surpass the impressive result of 2022.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Taking everything in consideration, it can be concluded that the investment of Singapore and its massive benefits cannot be ignored, since the investment contributed largely to the industrial growth of Vietnamese markets.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Nowadays, there is a widespread acknowledgment among Vietnamese companies to adopt innovation and understand the importance of catching up with the time. The demand for innovating and improving has been witnessed clearly through a ceremony to announce the Top 50 Innovative Enterprises in Vietnam.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>The ceremony is where enterprises were ranked based on key economic sectors. These sectors include processing, manufacturing, logistics, banking, insurance, construction, and so on. According to the director of Viet Research, the industry structure of VIE50 enterprises focuses on some main groups: processing and manufacturing, technology and communications, and healthcare, to name just a few. These industries are at the forefront of promoting innovation, creativity, and efficiency. It is noteworthy that the Top 50 companies also acknowledge some other sectors such as innovation, product development, and service enhancement. In a survey among awarded companies, nearly 85 percent of them consider innovation an important key to improving products, services, and processes, whereas 70 percent of businesses expect to increase their budget for innovation for at least the next two years.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Undoubtedly, many businesses are experiencing achievements and progress through adapting innovation to their businesses. Several enterprises have developed innovative processes, and solutions and manufactured eco-friendly products to meet customer’s demands in the trading market. It is believed that technological achievements will help companies reduce their dependence on raw materials, releasing the impact on the environment. They also enable enterprises to reduce the activity of urban mining, waste depleting and start recycling raw materials to create new products. By doing this, Masan Hightech Materials (MHT) Company has gained 95 patents worldwide and countless advancements in technology. Meanwhile, Vietcombank - the largest banking company in Vietnam, has promoted innovation for 60 years and is expertise in providing online payment services and developing card services in Vietnam. As a result, Vietcombank’s network had 650 branches and offices in five countries. Elsewhere, the largest enterprise in the dairy processing industry in Vietnam, Vinamilk, has operated 16 factories and 14 farms both at home and abroad.</div><div><br></div><div>It is likely that without innovation, Vietnam will struggle to develop and flourish. To fully accomplish the goal of being a top middle-income country in 2030 and a developed country in 2045, innovation and harmonious cooperation with nature and the society are the golden factor. However, in recent years, Vietnam's innovation and productivity have been slow due to the pandemic, the decline of the global economy, and climate change. It aims to tackle immediate challenges, in coincidence with catching up with global trends. Gradually, to successfully control changes, companies must focus on several key factors of innovation, namely efficiency, effectiveness, and adaptability. There is an urgent need for the nation to generate an environmentally-friendly trading market by using technological support and foreign investment.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Taking everything into consideration, it can be concluded that innovation is necessary for companies to adapt and overcome the challenges of change. It fosters growth and is key to staying developed in today's highly competitive world.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>As technology and in-door entertainment expand across the world, the young generation’s inclination to a sedentary lifestyle<strong> </strong>is causing worldwide concern. Regarding this problem, it has been suggested that parents should advise their offspring to spend more time on outdoor activities, sacrificing part of their time studying. While outdoor time is doubtlessly inevitable to teenagers’ well-being, I believe teenagers should mainly focus on their study, and should set aside a certain amount of time practicing physical activities to ensure work-life balance.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>To begin with, studying is undoubtedly an indispensable part of a student ’s success, and that it seems insensible to sacrifice valuable time studying just for some exercises. With proper studies, individuals can ensure a better future, and can allocate their budget on top health care services, including gym practice and relevant services that provide direct benefits to individuals’ well-being in their later life. Moreover, as students, there is no need to be dementedly concerned about health problems due to overtime learning, as it is a norm that schools design their curriculum to develop both youngsters’ mind and fitness.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>However, this is not to say that teenagers completely spend their time studying without any exercises. One thing to be considered is that health has always been a golden part of a person’s well-being, and without health, all time and efforts scholars brought about to improve their academic performances may be valueless. This is mainly because physical activities provide more opportunities for individuals to release energy, gain flexibility, and improve fitness whilst also assisting their mental development. As a result, it allows students to study more effectively, and enhances their health. Even if students have an excellent academic performance, their grades may be affected if they suffer from several health problems. Therefore, it is essential to maintain physical fitness to perform better at work and in everyday life.</p><p><br></p><p>In conclusion, it is a fact&nbsp; that some children struggle with intense academic schedules and, therefore, need support and proper time division to shorten study sessions and increase break time, which can be used for work outs or relaxing times in a green environment. Meanwhile, others seem to become inactive due to spending time indoors on valueless activities, and this problem needs other approaches than cutting down study durations, as it seems improper to cut down on study time just for some exercises when students fully acknowledge about time allocation.</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>The convenience of advanced technology has greatly interfered with humankind's traditional way of receiving information, which stays in the form of newspapers. Humans’ chief means of reading shifts from paper-based to Internet-based, where the information is conveyed faster and more efficiently/ is conveyed with greater speed and efficiency. Despite the convenience provided by the internet, relying solely on the Internet for news can be a negative development.</p><p><br></p><p>&nbsp;Observing news on the Internet can facilitate the dissemination of misleading information. As online bases lack a scheme of censorship , people are free to share information regardless of its authenticity. Consequently, individuals are more likely to be misled by false news due to lack of censorship. In fact , there are numerous conspiracy theories online, which rely on misinformation, half-truths, and unfounded claims, which can spread rapidly through online platforms. For example, there are numerous websites about stars and celebrities, whose photos and private lives are being leaked by paparazzi or extreme fans, which can wreak havoc on their own career by creating scandals.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>&nbsp;Moreover, the digital landscape has disrupted the traditional revenue models of newspapers and TV programs as many outlets are struggling to generate sufficient income through online advertising. As a result, companies have to reduce staff, cut back on investigative reporting, or compromise journalistic integrity in order to attract clicks and generate revenue. This decline in quality journalism can have negative implications for society, reducing the public's access to in-depth, well-researched information that is essential for making informed decisions. For example, nowadays, when it comes to generating ideas or finding information, the young generation, who depend heavily on artificial intelligence, resort to ChatGPT as the most important web-based system. Along with the advancement of technology, the young generation is becoming more dependent, less willing to think on their own, which can deter their cognitive development.</p><p><br></p><p>In conclusion, while the internet offers convenient access to a vast array of news sources, relying solely on the Internet for news consumption can be a negative development.</p><p><br></p><p><br/></p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>In a world where technological advancement is widely applied in the healthcare industry, individuals’ concern about health and fitness is escalating, with more people worrying about their health status. The question of whether it is society's duty or each person's obligation to take care of their own health is being fueled by a contentious viewpoint. While each side has its own merits, I contend that it is optimal if people can fulfill both.&nbsp;</p><p>On the one hand, it is necessary that humans look after their health as one way of self-catering, especially when health is a precious part of individuals’ lives. In particular, everyoneIn particular, everyone might develop a thorough plan to keep excellent physical health, which would enable them to fend off serious illnesses and increase their own life expectancy. For instance, engaging in physical activities like cycling, walking, athletics, or active recreation lowers the risk of several dangerous diseases, including cancer, heart attacks, and deadly diseases. Without a doubt, prioritizing one's health benefits their lives tremendously, since without health, all time and efforts are meaningless. Health and fitness grant individuals opportunities to release energy, gain flexibility, and improve fitness whilst also assisting their mental development.&nbsp;</p><p>On the other hand, although safeguarding one's health is widely recognized, it would be unfair to neglect the broader importance of self-protection to the community, which stays in the form of social responsibility. For that reason, a sick person could be a hazard to a large population in terms of harmful communicable viruses and could therefore hinder the progress of a country. For example, the COVID-19 outbreak in Vietnam in 2019 began with a small number of cases before spreading quickly throughout the nation, posing a strain on society and the economy due to the escalating number of infectious cases. What can be inferred from the illustration is that individuals who lack the ability to self-care can be one important factor leading to the outbreak of diseases, therefore causing healthcare system overload, triggering detrimental impacts on the economy. Therefore, when considering their individual health conditions, people must consider the needs of the entire community.</p><p>To sum up, taking care of personal health plays an essential role in one’s well-being. However, it also impacts the nation's tremendous benefit. Adopting a healthy lifestyle would alleviate pressure from the medical insurance budget which can be used to develop other aspects of a community.</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>The escalating number of wrongdoings in the society , ranging from domestic abuse to manslaughter, is ringing an alarming bell. Increasing social delinquency not only afflicts every person’s life, but also poses a strain on the security of the community. Notwithstanding the remarkable effort brought about to alleviate the severity of the problem, the results are&nbsp; far from expectations. This essay aims to explore the causes of those antisocial activities and address&nbsp; suitable individuals in charge of this conundrum.</p><p><br></p><p>Without a doubt, the reasons for the increasing number of rebellious offenses are variable. The most justifiable answer to the growing negativities is the widespread use of the world wide web. Indeed, the lack of proper legislations online gives rise to uncensored dark webs where social misdeeds are discussed freely, nurturing individuals’ appetite to commit&nbsp; crimes. The Blue Whales, for example, a notorious, harmful website has been reported to dare users to death by offering non-stop missions. Moreover, the outburst of crimes&nbsp; can also be owed to a disadvantaged family environment. It can be witnessed that most grown-up violators usually come&nbsp; from single-parent families, or those with frequent domestic violence. Take Ted Bundy, an infamous US serial killer in the 1980s, as an illustration. He was born as an illegitimate child, and was cruelly persecuted by his grandfather at his early childhood. Growing up in such an environment, he was soon led astray, resorting to manslaughter as a recreational activity. What can be inferred from this is that family background is one pivotal factor leading to&nbsp; crimes and antisocial activities.</p><p><br></p><p>Considering the severity of the problem, it is high time justifiable measures were carried out to alleviate its adverse impacts on the society, whose mission belongs to both the authority and each family. Most importantly, the government should impose a strict legal framework to censor brutal content&nbsp; or close deep websites that may trigger antisocial behaviors. More emphasis should be laid down on educational programs to awaken individuals’ dignity, therefore deterring them from illegal activities. Whatsoever, the government should invest in education, job creation, and social programs to reduce the impact of socioeconomic factors, as education plays a pivotal role in changing one’s mindset. Besides, Stronger family support and counseling services should also be available to provide guidance and in-time support for individuals suffering from psychological problems, which are rooted from the&nbsp; lack of family’s care during childhood .&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>In conclusion, the increase in antisocial personal behavior can be attributed to factors such as family breakdown, early exposure to violence, and external influences like mass advertisements, or access to unsupervised online webs. The responsibility for addressing this issue lies with the government, families, and the media, each playing a crucial role in prevention and rehabilitation efforts.</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Technological advancement has brought about significant improvements in humans’ lives, raising the social living standard, and easing the lives of variable individuals. Concerning this phenomenon, it has been argued that mankind living in the 21st century enjoy a superior quality of life compared to their predecessors living in earlier centuries. I whole-heartedly agree with this viewpoint, as I believe the unstoppable advancements in technology and community standards have significantly elevated our way of living.</p><p>The first reason for the enhanced quality of life is the unprecedented progress in healthcare. Indeed, modern medical innovations have not only increased life expectancy but also improved the quality of life through effective treatments and preventive care. For example, advancements in medical physics, including the use of X-ray in CT scan, and a more humane approach detecting diseases or drug experimenting, have made complex procedures safer and&nbsp; more accessible, drastically reducing recovery times and improving outcomes. Undeniably, These medical breakthroughs, unavailable in previous centuries, have provided us with a level of health and well-being that was previously unimaginable.</p><p>Besides, the digital revolution has remarkably revolutionized our daily lives by marking a milestone in various sectors, which interrelate with individuals’ living standards. Most importantly, the iInternet and smartphones have provided mankind with a democratic virtual environment&nbsp; online, where individuals have the freedom to express their opinions and live true to their innate characteristics, without having to worry about violating all normal norms. Variable comments about one problem are invaluable in providing readers with an overall layout of the phenomenon.&nbsp; Additionally, with full access to information, Internet-users have the ability to connect with people across the globe, while being empowered by treasures of knowledge and resources. This has led to an informed and engaged society of people, capable of making better decisions for both countless personal and professional lives. The convenience and efficiency brought about by these technological tools, such as online banking, e-commerce, and telecommuting, have significantly improved our standard of living, making everyday tasks more manageable and less time-consuming.</p><p>To conclude, the 21st century offers a higher quality of life, mostly thanks to groundbreaking advancements in healthcare and the impact of digital technology. These developments have not only prolonged our life spans but have also enriched our daily experiences, making modern life more convenient, connected, and comfortable than ever before.&nbsp;</p><p><br/></p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>The uprising demands for continuous industrial revolution is associated with the severe breakdown of the world’s entire ecosystem. In the context of environmental destruction, it can be discerned that mitigation efforts are of paramount importance, and is widely believed to be the responsibility of solely the government, as they have the authority and the utmost power to call for effective actions. While the politicians play an indispensable role in tackling environmental breakdown, individuals’ roles should not be ignored when it comes to natural conservation.</p><p>Without a doubt, regarding environmental protection, the government<em> </em>plays a significant factor, as they possess critical power and paramount authority to impose formidable legislative framework upon safeguarding the nation’s biodiversity. Being the head honcho of a nation, the authorities could strictly supervise the daily practice of all corporations and factories to efficiently diminish their amounts of fuel emission, thereby lessening their impacts on the ecosystem. To illustrate, the authorities could facilitate the carbon credit market, a potential method to be harnessed in the context of mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions, to lessen the negative impacts of air contamination. In reality, This practice has been utilized in developed nations such as the UK and all members of the EU, where technology and social awareness are of the main priority, and are currently under preparation in flourishing nations, thriving to attain the goal of net-zero carbon emission and economic success at the same time.&nbsp; What can be inferred from this is that the intervention of politicians plays a decisive role in lessening detrimental damage to a nation’s ecosystem, mainly on a corporation basis.</p><p>Notwithstanding the potential roles of the authorities, the role/duty of individuals should not be ignored when it comes to tackling the problem of environmental destruction. Undoubtedly, citizens' daily lives are the main practice that directly interfere with a nation’s environment, as they take up the main proportion of a nation’s population. Therefore, there should be sufficient campaigns and calls to raise the social awareness about the interconnection between their day-to-day activities and the degradation of the environment. Moreover, ordinary people, through small, everyday actions, can also greatly contribute to protecting the environment. For example, a plethora of students from coastal cities of Vietnam spend nearly their whole summer vacation, keeping the beaches of their hometown clean by collecting all the trash from tourists, and even banning foreign visitors from entering certain areas, to prevent them from littering.&nbsp;</p><p>In conclusion, in the context of environmental safeguarding activities, I whole-heartedly believe that politicians alone cannot deal with all environmental issues;, therefore, individuals should also make a contribution to protecting our environment. This can be attributed to the fact that each individual’s minor activity can make remarkable progress in environmental protection as a whole.</p><p><br/></p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Humans’ interference to nature's law, mostly in the form of over-exploitation and greenhouse emission, has triggered detrimental impacts on their own lifestyles. As a result, there is an escalating demand for nations to pursue both green energy transition and develop an eco-friendly economy, while the minority still casts doubt on its feasibility. From my perspective, this idea is practical and is beneficial as a whole. This essay will provide an overview of both viewpoints, while presenting my support towards the former perspective.</p><p><br></p><p>Without a doubt, opponents of the belief might cast doubt on a simultaneously developed economy and environment because of several factors. Most importantly, the call for a successful green environment and economy implies that the authorities have to allocate a large amount of money on energy transition, so as to bring about the most pleasant result. Let alone all shiny achievements, the renewable-energy industry is just an immature, developing sector, where one justifiable evidence is that it costs around $300 for the installation of a 400W solar panel. As a result, the high demand for successful installation of green energy sources is somehow causing financial burden on nations’ top leaders, especially in developing countries, where the transition to industrial development requires a large amount of fuels and coal. Moreover, a financially successful economy and a well-catered environment seems to strike a conflict. This is because in traditional belief, for a country to be economically successful, it must operate on the burning of fuels, which eventually emits exhaust fumes, and generates more greenhouse gasses to destroy the air quality.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Despite the aforementioned suspicion, it is feasible for a nation to successfully generate an eco-friendly-oriented economy and ecosystem. This is actually a breakthrough rather than a breakdown, as several individuals have ignored the long-term profits that this lucrative industry is likely to bring about. To be more detailed, a cap-and-trade programme, the one which operates by setting limits on carbon emission, and letting corporations exchange their carbon credits, is successfully installed in numerous developed countries, including the EU, the United Kingdom, parts of Asia and Africa. Take Vietnam, a developing country in southeast asia, as an illustration. Despite myriad challenges, this nation is making progress on its way to complete its commitment to net-zero carbon emission, mainly by operating the carbon credit market, which can be done by trading the carbon offsets generated through forest-planting campaigns. Without a doubt, strict legislations and a clear mindset about environment protection are of the utmost importance which let a nation accomplish this mission.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>In conclusion, although there is a common belief that successful economic progress is always accompanied by bad environmental conditions, I believe that the government can take urgent measures to tackle its adverse impacts, mainly by operating a carbon credit market, which can not only boost the economy, but also help protect the environment.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>The higher the growth of social awareness, the more attention is drawn to the investment on social well-being and impoverished individuals, not only nationally, but also on an international scale . Concerning this heated topic, several individuals agree that governments should not be investing in foreign aid, while they still have their own underprivileged citizens, such as those who are homeless or jobless. Personally, while investing in the increased living standard of impoverished citizens is an inevitable goal , contributing to foreign aid is also principal . <br><br></p><p>On the one hand, the government should allocate a justifiable budget for their own citizens due to several reasons. Firstly, citizens are the core of a nation; therefore, the government should allocate more money for raising living standards nationally and&nbsp; safeguarding the welfare of their own citizens. In reality, along the streets of even the most developed metropolitans, hardly do individuals commute without catching the sight of homeless people lying on the pavements, begging for some money or food. According to the International Labour Organisation, the rate of unemployment in 2023 nationwide is 5.1%, with 4.1% in the US, a remarkable number to consider. This figure implies that even the most flourished nation like the US also has a strong rate of unemployment, and it would take a large sum of money to help them all climb their way out of poverty. Moreover, investing in the lives of struggling individuals in a country promotes its own economic growth. When unemployment is eliminated and more people have a chance to work, a nation’s GDP can flourish, marking an advancement in the economy. As a result, more job opportunities can be created, facilitating revenue growth.&nbsp;</p><p>On the other hand, providing foreign assistance is also of utmost importance when it comes to maintaining the relationship of the two nations and contributing more to the social well-being on an international basis. First and foremost, international aiding programmes can ensure the welfare of each individual nation. When all countries can thrive&nbsp; independently, the overall well-being&nbsp; of all nations are safeguarded. Otherwise, a problem in one country can result in both direct and indirect consequences for other countries.&nbsp; Take the war between Russia and Ukraine as an illustration. This war not only interferes with the daily lives of the citizens from two countries, but also detrimentally impacts other related nations. To be more specific, as NATO nation members put a trade embargo on Russia, it led to the shut down of the largest oil industry in the world, which severely impacted European nations hinging on Russia for oil provision. As a result, oil prices escalated, and all nations have to resort to America for further guidance. Secondly , a country which receives&nbsp; assistance of any kind from others in times of difficulty would likely recognize their goodwill actions&nbsp; and reciprocate their favor, fostering cross-border friendship. For instance, due to the financial support of the Russian government for Vietnam in the Vietnam War, these two nations have intensified their friendly relations. As a result, they have become strategic partners in terms of the global economy, leading to favorable trade programmes from which the donating country would financially benefit in another way.</p><p>In conclusion, I whole-heartedly believe that countries should assist each other for humanitarian purposes as well as flourishing their own development, while allocating a justifiable budget for tackling its own problem of unemployment.</p><p><br/></p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Nowadays, there is an escalating trend among the young generation to frequently change&nbsp; occupations . Whether this practice is beneficial to those young, inexperienced workers or not has been a subject of much controversy. While it might be believed that changing jobs equips young people with a broadened skill set, I contend that it is more likely to impede one’s career . This essay will present arguments to support my viewpoint, while explaining&nbsp; several reasons leading to this growing trend.</p><p>To commence, there are several underlying reasons leading to the uncertainty&nbsp; of young people towards their&nbsp; career. Remarkably, one major reason behind the rise of this phenomenon is that young people are still seeking their passions, constantly changing jobs to find their best fit. As many individuals are uncertain about their career path, they tend to try out many jobs to discover what they would enjoy pursuing professionally. As a result, if young employees encounter dissatisfaction with their given position in such a particular sector, they can easily give up due to loss of incentives, and find alternative jobs that might better suit them. Another key reason is that young people, when pursuing a wide range of careers, want to be equipped with a diverse skill set, which would certainly provide them with solid skills for their future, permanent job. As different working sectors utilize different knowledge bases, young people might find it advantageous to acquire a wide-ranging variety of professional skills to be well-prepared for any position in the future.&nbsp;</p><p>However, this phenomenon has direct negative effects on those inexperienced workers, as companies are reluctant to hire those with low commitment. Indeed, employers often hold a prejudice against those who frequently change<strong> </strong>occupations as they think a person who does so will not be able to contribute to their company in the long run. Moreover, employers might also believe that if someone cannot promise to remain loyal to their company,&nbsp; it would be counterproductive to hire and commit resources to them. It means that those employees are unable to develop their experience, knowledge and skills in whatever careers they temporarily work for, and are likely to be redundant&nbsp; in the future. Even when they later find a suitable job for their own interest, they are less likely to become a permanent employee. As a result, it is justifiable to claim that constantly changing jobs can hinder a person’s career.</p><p>In conclusion, young people change jobs to acquire multiple skills and address their desirable career path . However, I contend that the drawbacks are much more substantial since this might impede one’s career opportunities. Nonetheless, it can be predicted that young people’s careers will continue to change in their search for true passions.</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <title>Art classes, such as painting and drawing, are as important for children&#39;s development as other subjects, so it should be compulsory in high school. Do you agree or disagree?

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Truth be told, the importance of artistic subjects has gained much controversy. Some people assert that every subject, whether related to arts or science, is identically vital for youngsters’ advancement. However, a plethora of grown-ups are still convinced that artistry is nowhere near as important as other subjects because they do nothing to enhance students’ intellectual level, nor provide students with a chance of pursuing reputed jobs in the future. I partly agree with this opinion, but I think that it is impractical for everyone to attend art courses.</p><p>It is undoubted that&nbsp; arts, such as painting and drawing, play an important role in nurturing&nbsp; youngsters. Firstly, it is undeniable that drawing advances&nbsp; youngsters’ dexterity as well as artistry. Specifically, the young joining in artistry classes will be provided with imagination techniques on how to be innovative, as well as how to express their ideas using patterns, colors and other artistic methods, which definitely contribute to their creativity. Furthermore, art classes in high school can help students relieve stress. For example, when students are under pressure with their academic workload, an hour in art classes listening to music pieces or being immersed in the world of colors will help them relax and recharge their batteries. Moreover, arts lessons can provide an alternative career path for pupils. For instance, students who are not scientifically-inclined can pursue arts as one potential career path in the future, instead of feeling pessimistic about themselves being an useless individual with no capabilities. As a result, those who are artistically talented can be granted more opportunities to explore their passion and career in arts, especially at artistic schools.&nbsp;</p><p>While art courses provide students with myriad merits, the drawbacks of them being compulsory should not be ignored. Firstly, among all students at school, the number of those pursuing arts as a major subject is merely a minority. As a result, if arts become mandatory subjects in the school curriculum, those majoring differently&nbsp; will be at a disadvantage, finding that the subject is a waste of time. Additionally, with those who are not naturally artistically-inclined, studying art as a compulsory subject is a complete injustice. Regardless of all the time and efforts they spend on improving their performances, it is a real challenge to catch up with all gifted arts students at school . Being forced to study arts, a subject that requires passion and time devotion , students would be more overwhelmed by the heavy workload at school, and suffer&nbsp; more stress in their studies on campus.</p><p>In conclusion, art class is indeed important to cultivate well-rounded high school students, but it should not be made compulsory and a must-study subject at school. It is reasonable to set the art class as an elective, and those who are interested in painting could get professional direction there.</p><p><br/></p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>At the heart of the importance of happiness lies a notion that it is an intangible asset of one’s life, an ultimate goal that all human beings aim for. Dissecting the concept reveals that as individuals are born with distinct personalities and career paths, the terminology of “happiness” is somewhat troublesome to define. This essay presents a brief description of happiness, the reason why it is challenging to define, and the key factors contributing to happiness.</p><p><br></p><p>Breaking down the topic of happiness into its constituent parts, it is vital to investigate the true definition of happiness. Happiness, being an indispensable factor of a person’s life, is hard to define, mainly because of its complexity. In fact, when being placed in juxtaposition with other similar feelings, it can easily dissolve and trigger confusion, as happiness is a combination of a myriad of emotions: euphoria, pleasure, and satisfaction, to name but a few. Moreover, as each person holds their unique vision of a fulfilled life, the meaning of happiness is distinct, and authorised to each human-being. Indeed, various ideas on the true definition of happiness - a multifaceted, emotionally-based term - make the invisible existence of happiness become even more confusing.</p><p><br></p><p>By virtue of its multifaceted nature, the problem of happiness necessitates a nuanced explanation on the decisive factors that are believed to provoke a mental wellbeing. Most importantly, processing a growth mindset is a key factor for a person to achieve success and attain happiness coincidently. Undoubtedly, a growth mindset helps individuals gain confidence, and regard hardship as chances to grow. As a result, those ecstatic individuals can lead a joyful life, as optimism grants them strength and determination in life. Moreover, happiness can be created when individuals lend a helping hand to support the unfortunate. Helping other people is proven to surge oxytocin, dopamine and serotonin, all of which create satisfaction. A case in point is a reference to a Harvard research study, employees who helped others were ten times more likely to stay focused at work, and gained 40% of being promoted, climbing higher on the social ladder. What can be inferred from this is that being open-hearted helps maintain happiness for a long time period.</p><p><br></p><p>In conclusion, happiness is a sophisticated term to define, but if simply put, it is a satisfaction that is gained when chasing a dream. Although the road to ultimate is filled with thought-provoking decisions, a growth mindset and a helping hand can prolong the euphoric moments of happiness at presence.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

Fortune provides individuals with opportunities to embark on their journey, as with such unprecedented chances, people are offered intangible incentives, such as support and self-confidence, which motivate them to progress further in their journey. Without a doubt, luck grants individuals a sense of confidence, as they experience the feeling of being supported ritually.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>By virtue of its multifaceted nature, the problem of success’s components necessitates a nuanced explanation on the side of more superior factors defining success. Undeniably, hard work, self-confidence, and determination are decisive traits of triumphant individuals. To be more specific, while each successful individual has their own unique personality, they all share the same confidence in face of hardship. An optimistic vision offers high-achievers a brighter insight into every single challenge they encounter. Continuously seeking motivation in pursuing their own passion, successful people can easily overcome failures, and consider difficulties as an opportunity to thrive. A case in point is the illustration of Thomas Edison, a renowned 19th century inventor. He succeeded in inventing the first light bulb after 1000 failed attempts, but managed to turn the whole world onto a new page, full of light and promises. The case study of Thomas Edision is a convincing reason for the importance of determination to one’s success, where luck is merely supplementary.</p><p><br></p><p>In conclusion, success is made up of a myriad of constituent parts, where luck, passion, confidence, and self motivation are of the utmost importance</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>At the heart of business performance lies a notion that marketing and promotion are integral tools for a successful business. Dissecting the concept reveals that although the process of promoting products plays an indispensable role, their quality should be regarded with the same importance. This essay presents arguments to support my belief that a successful company cannot ignore the effectiveness of both mentioned factors to become a power entity.</p><p><br></p><p>Breaking down the topic of a business’s success into its constituent parts, it is vital to investigate the role of marketing in stimulating business performance. To begin with, marketing campaigns and promotion events with discount codes play an indispensable goal in strengthening corporations’ financial capacity and brand affinity. In particular, marketing initiatives draw the attention of potential target customers through its visual digital content and catchy jingle, while these also inform suitable products to provide more selection in a diverse range of prices to appropriate buyers. In addition, marketing strategies not only help corporations portray specific traits of their products, but also allow their potential customers to test and make comparisons to those lineup products. Through advertisement campaigns, companies’ images will get increasingly acknowledged by the general public as they appear ubiquitously on digital boards or television. A case in point is the iPhone publishing event, where reputed media makers and loyal customers prioritise the privilege of using the latest products, which ultimately generated a plethora of hearsays in the virtual forums before the launch date. As a result, these events have promoted the total sales volume of iPhones around the globe and converted Apple into a global brand.</p><p><br></p><p>By virtue of its multifaceted nature, the problem of business’s success necessitates a nuanced explanation on the side of quality guaranteeing, as effective marketing is insufficient to reach success in any business. Doubtlessly, a company having a myriad&nbsp; of advertisement campaigns, while manufacturing low-quality products, lacks chances to succeed. The lack of quality control, consequently, makes companies lose their credibility and social status. To put it simply, it would be impossible for any firm or company to rule the market without a good product even if they have the best marketing and promotion among competitors. In contrast, products with higher quality have an inclination to succeed and become popular among customers.</p><p><br></p><p>To sum up, despite the fact that marketing and promotion are integral tools for business, I reaffirm that the combination of both&nbsp; high-quality products and the right strategy promotion is more likely to lead to better results.</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>At the heart of business’s success lies a correlation between a successful company and the overall performance of its workforce. This essay presents the ultimate solutions for corporations to foster their employees’ performance, mainly by helping their personnel maintain a work-life balance, recognizing their capabilities, and rewarding them properly.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>First and foremost, promoting a harmonious working environment is of paramount importance when it comes to fostering employees’ performance. A justifiable working hours, which ensures a fair division between working and resting time, would be an ideal approach. This is attributed to the escalating demand among job hunters for a balanced working schedule, which would prevent the adverse impacts of indoors working in the long term. Undoubtedly, the amount of stress and pressure that staff suffer from, whether on a professional or personal basis, is endless, and companies that acknowledge these situations are rare. The increasing demand for enhanced working speed and advanced responses in this fast-paced corporate culture longs for an increased sacrifice among employees. As a result, an increase in vacation leave for employees or the implementation of flexible working hours would be a blessing for workers, which would eventually lead to increased productivity. In a nutshell, if a worker is well-rested and able to spend time on their private life, they will be more motivated to improve and work more effectively.</p><p><br></p><p>Not only acknowledging the importance of a balanced working environment, business leaders should recognise the performance of their staff, and have the right attitudes towards employees’ working qualities. Being recognised for hard work and indispensable efforts would incentivise workers to progress more on their assigned tasks, and dedicate themselves to the companies. As a result, acknowledging staff performance would guarantee their work’s productivity, consistency, and innovation. A case in point is the provision of rewards for employees with vacation trips, which will motivate them to improve their work output, and could eventually benefit employers. A promising outcome is what guarantees the company’s top position and competitiveness in the eyes of job seekers.</p><p><br></p><p>In conclusion, it is the effort and long-term commitment of an employee which takes companies to height. Therefore, staff productivity should be increased by keeping the workers motivated, which can be done by appreciating their work, and rewarding them with raises and promotions.</p><p><br/></p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Many are highly concerned about their career growth, however, different people have their own opinion about the path for achieving success in their profession. Concerning the topic of seeking job promotion, there is an escalating trend among individuals to frequently change organisations, while the others remain loyal to only one working place. Both these views will be evaluated before reaching a conclusion.</p><p><br></p><p>On the one hand, there are a group of individuals who prefer working at the same workplace throughout their career span. One major reason behind this phenomenon is that they have a sense of attachment to the organisation and are willing to have a long-term commitment with the company. Furthermore, these individuals might undoubtedly obtain a thorough understanding of the existing systems in their organisation and, thereby, can be regarded as the most knowledgeable employee within the company. As a consequence, there will be higher chances of them being selected for rewards and recognitions, as well as for promotions. Therefore, it is apparent that these employees can expect stable progress in their professional life.</p><p><br></p><p>On the other hand, several individuals consider changing corporations as a means of promoting career advancement. This may be attributed to their belief that getting an opportunity to gather information about various applications across different organisations would make them multi-talented. Undoubtedly, the knowledge gained from variable companies will not only help them attract employers, but also help them achieve a higher call for increased wages, thus enhancing personal life standards. However, this phenomenon can adversely impact workers’ career path, as companies are reluctant to hire those with low commitment. Indeed, employers often hold a prejudice against those who frequently change organisations as they are deemed unable to contribute to the company in the long run, and that it would be counterproductive to hire and dedicate resources to them. As a result, it is justifiable to claim that constantly changing working environment can hinder a person’s career.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>After analysing these two outlooks, it can be assumed that sticking to one company for one’s entire career can offer professional growth, while altering companies can grant them chances of acquiring promotions. However, I contend that the drawbacks of shifting workplaces are much more substantial, since this might impede one’s career opportunities. Thus, it is expected that people will opt for remaining in one organisation for having a prosperous life.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;Our days are filled with a constant stream of decisions, some of which have repercussions that can last a lifetime. Concerning the power of choices in individuals’ lives, the topic of children’s autonomy in making their own choices on daily problems provokes much controversy. While it has been argued that allowing youngsters to make decisions independently would render them selfish, others believe that those preparatory skills are of utmost importance. Both these views will be evaluated before reaching a conclusion.</p><p>On the one hand, that selfishness can be triggered through early approach to decision-making is not baseless. As youngsters lack awareness and ability to differentiate between the wrongs and rights, they naturally live with emotions, and make judgements with uncertainties. As a result, children having a chance to self-decide on their own would practise the habit of demanding, as they are supplied with things that they desire. This would eventually develop their habit of a satisfying life, where children’s demand can be fulfilled effortlessly. Being nurtured in a world of their own, youngsters can eventually grow into selfish individuals, due to the unfamiliar experience of sharing.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;On the other hand, early exposure to decision making can foster children’s competence in weighing up different conditions. Several advocates assert that making choices plays a key role in fostering responsibility for children, as they may consider carefully before making a decision and avoid impulsive behaviours. As a result, this practice not only improves youngsters’ critical thinking, but also fosters a level of independence, both of which are pivotal components in their later stages of lives. Moreover, in the process of making choices, children also discover their preferences and hobbies, thereby gaining a deeper understanding of themselves.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>In conclusion, while children making their own choices in daily life may exert certain concerning issues, it is essential for them to develop decision-making skills, gain insight into their inclinations, and build a foundation of responsibility, all of which pave the way for becoming thoughtful and capable adults, giving them the ability to portray a meaningful and enjoyable life.</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>There has been a long-standing debate on the nature of intelligence, as to whether it is an inherent quality or can be improved through learning and experience.

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Personalities play a crucial role in shaping our character and influencing our behaviour. At present, there is an ongoing debate regarding the extent to which genetics predetermines our personalities, with some opining that our personality genes solely determine our traits. However, I strongly believe that while genetics contribute to our personalities, environmental factors also play a substantial role in moulding our character for several reasons.</p><p>To start with, personalities are undoubtedly hereditary, as humans not only take after their parents’ appearances, but also inherit some of their characteristics innately. Those personalities are the biological traits that pre-exist in each individual, creating social differentiation and uniqueness in the future. As there is an intangible bond between family members, youngsters are inclined to emulate the traits and behaviours of their parents, as they naturally aspire to those traits, hence reflecting familial personalities in their own character.&nbsp;</p><p>While personalities are somewhat a born character, or that learnt from family members predominantly, it can be influenced by external factors. It is the early exposure to family members, mostly parents, that plays an indispensable role in shaping personalities. As infants, human beings are primarily exposed to family members, who impart fundamental values and behaviours on them. The ethical guidance received from families, such as the importance of honesty and altruism, ultimately shapes our perspectives as individuals mature. Notwithstanding the importance of biological traits in deciding one’s character, the formative years spent in educational institutions also significantly contribute to shaping individuals’ personalities. This is because, within the academic environment, interactions with peers and guidance from teachers play a pivotal role in refining one’s character. Teachers, in particular, not only impart knowledge but also provide essential life lessons, while friendships developed during this period leave an unforgettable mark on children’s character. The choice of friends reflects our values and desires for companionship, and these friendships can lead to either positive or negative changes in our character, shaping our attitudes and behaviours in significant ways.</p><p>In conclusion, while genetic inheritance may lay a foundation for certain aspects of our personalities, it is essential to recognize that environmental influences also have substantial impacts on our characters. As we navigate through life, our behaviours evolve, and our character undergoes transformations, influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Therefore, the notion that our personalities are solely predetermined by genes overlooks the significant impact of environmental factors in shaping our characters.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>In an advancing digital world, there is a prevailing argument that the role of books as the primary source of information and knowledge is diminishing with the rising prominence of the Internet. As the Internet has revolutionised information accessibility, I firmly agree that physical books are still dominant at present, but are alarmingly threatened due to the prosperity of technology.&nbsp;</p><p>Undoubtedly, books, the most traditional, man-made way of storing knowledge, play an indispensable role in individuals’ daily lives. One important trait brought about by books is stability and long-term preservation. Since the internet cannot be a substitute for libraries, the most reliable scholarly information is only available via books and journals. As a result, once the internet fails, there is a huge risk of losing the world’s valuable knowledge. Moreover, as information published in books is the most reliable, observing news on any other means of communication can facilitate the dissemination of misleading information. This is because printed books undergo a scheme of censorship, prohibiting authors from sharing false information. Consequently, by reading books, individuals are less likely to be misled by false news due to lack of governance.&nbsp;</p><p>Notwithstanding the existing appetite for reading books, the existence of books is increasingly threatened on a daily basis. This is because enhanced technology will soon be able to meet all present needs, which would finally lead to the destruction of the book’s predominance. Indeed, printed media used to be the main source of conveying information, however, in this era of technological boom, every information is being uploaded onto the cloud, and it is a fact that the publishing industry is suffering. One contributing reason for this phenomenon is that online-based entertainment and information provision are speedy and readily interactive. Before the internet was available, we used to flock to the library to search for suitable books that contained relevant information. For readers, travelling time was quite a waste, and for librarians, they wasted time sorting out books based on categories continuously. However, thanks to the internet, those works have been done much faster, as it proves efficiency in retrieving information. With the multimedia assistant, we are more motivated and inspired to learn, and different types of learners can also find the most proper way to capture knowledge. Additionally, the Internet has far greater storage capacity as it is a space saver compared to books, so the infinite amount of knowledge can be accessible from the webs.&nbsp;</p><p>In conclusion, although books are irreplaceable at present due to the reliability and stability they bring about, its role is likely to be threatened in the future, when the development of the Internet covers all advantages that books can bring to humanity.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>At present, there has been a long-standing debate on the survival of traditional books in the era of technological boom. Despite the sense of familiarity provided by paper-based reading, I believe Internet-based books will be predominant, ranked at the top place for providing information in the near future.</p><p><br></p><p>In the era of cyberspace, the Internet has diverted the mind of individuals towards e-books, which leads to a doubt that hard print demand will be reduced due to several reasons. One contributing reason for this phenomenon is that online-based entertainment and information provision are at high speed and readily interactive. A case in point is that before the Internet was available, humans used to flock to the library to search for suitable books that contained relevant information. At that moment, travelling time was quite a waste for readers, while for librarians, they wasted time sorting out books based on categories continuously. However, thanks to the Internet, those works have been done much faster, as it proves efficiency in retrieving information. Moreover, e-books are a boon for endless writers and readers. Specifically, factors like technological convenience and environment are worth considering. As everything is available with one click, readers can have access to a vast variety of books in an online library. Moreover, with deforestation at its peak, cutting down more trees for publishing books can be harmful to the environment. Without a doubt, e-books are pocket-friendly, eco-friendly and convenient to use.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>However, this is not to say that printed books will be threatened to extinction, as the habit of reading traditional books has been rooted in the elderly’s mindset for a long time. Despite the unprecedented growth of technology, traditional books are still favourable due to their reliability. This is because paper books undergo strict supervision from the publishers, leading to the decrease in the number of ingenuine books released into the market. Moreover, using printed books express respect and gratitude to the writers’ time and effort, as they are sold with authority, while online books are much easier to be hacked and released freely online. Those illegal cyber crimes might wreak havoc to the sales of those books, which could eventually impede the author’s career path. Last but not least, paper books, even though might be regarded as time-consuming, are preferable, as they give readers a sense of presence. Undoubtedly, numerous readers love the smell of paper and the feeling of flipping through pages, which generate mindfulness, and make them easily concentrate on their contents.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>In conclusion, although traditional books are irreplaceable at present due to the reliability and stability they bring about, I believe their dominance will be threatened in the future, when technology is developed to the extent that it can cover all the advantages of paper books.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>At the heart of present language diversity, while a minority of languages reign supreme in most countries, the usage of many others have declined. Notwithstanding the tremendous benefits brought about by this phenomenon, the long-term consequences of cultural erosion are comparatively more detrimental.</p><p><br></p><p>On the one hand, it is not baseless that the dominance of several lingual francas urges economic upturn. Undoubtedly, the upsurge in the use of common languages is a facilitator of cross-cultural communication, especially between people from different economic backgrounds. In different areas of global communication, such as science and news, recognising a common language removes communication barriers, and increases convenience. A prime case in point is English - the global language which in many formal occasions, boosts efficiency, and prevents misunderstanding. Likewise, the exchange of essential information like know-how and technology has been tremendously facilitated. Moreover, as a result of globalisation, more people are learning the languages of world-leading economies, which leads to a greater overall increase in global GDP. This is because being bilingual boosts employment opportunities drastically for prospective employees, since they can bridge the gap between two different cultures and economies, which thereby result in the rise of the economy.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Despite tremendous benefits brought about by the development of common languages, the imbalance in languages’ preference is rather a negative development. In this modern era, it could be posited that if individuals cannot communicate using their mother tongue, they cannot form a collective identity, which would result in the gradual erosion of their nation’s culture. To be more specific, some words in many languages cannot be translated to others precisely as they are specific to a cultural context, which implies that the decline of a language would also mean the decline of a culture. A case in point is the demanding preservation of the Welsh language, which is barely spoken due to the long-term colonisation of British people, who sought to replace Welsh culture. As a result, learning Welsh has been considered a pivotal way to preserve the nation’s tradition, which could be threatened to extinction. In brief, speaking native languages boosts a sense of solidarity, patriotism, as it reminds individuals of their origin, and the struggling times that their nations have managed to overcome.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>In conclusion, whilst I argue that although the use of only a few languages over the many can lead to more economic development, it is still more important that people preserve their individual cultures, thus, the aforementioned trend has been an unwanted one.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to time’s value, Benjamin Franklin, the beloved founder of the United States, once said that: “Time is Money”. Indeed, time is precious and priceless, as we all get a limited amount of time in our own lives. I whole-heartedly agree that time is equivalent to money in value, or even somewhat higher to a certain extent. This essay presents several ideas supporting my viewpoint.</p><p><br></p><p>To start with, it is not baseless to say that time outweighs money, even though they differ in form of existence. While time is intangible and invisible, money directly correlates to human-beings. Despite being two completely different concepts, time and money are considered the most fundamental needs of mankind. Undoubtedly, time is moving ahead continuously, making the present become past in one eye’s blink. As a result, individuals must respect time more than anything else, as time passes without any chances to regain or fulfil all regrets. Time provides individuals chances to accomplish their goals, to make progress on their career path, and ultimately, to make money through income and trading. Specifically, a loss in time implies a loss in chances of training and development, which can later be converted into money. Take Apple, a blue-chip company globally as an illustration. If this corporation wasted merely one second of their operation, they would lose about a billion dollars through the selling of latest Iphones, Mac Books, or Ipads. One second gone can be a billion dollars lost, in this case study specifically, however, it also implies that a small amount of time can prove to be significant on a monetary basis.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Notwithstanding the monetary value of time, it also helps individuals to achieve success, which also involves the existence of money as a promising outcome. Undoubtedly, acknowledging the value of time practises individuals' sense of mindfulness, as they focus on the presence, and take actions to later gain their achievements in life. With time, opportunities can be identified and harnessed timely to experience success, and climb high on the social status. This is because understanding the true time value is essential to taste success in life, mostly when life is uncertain and our time is predefined and limited. As&nbsp; a result, a moment gone never comes back, as it is lost forever. Therefore, we should not be careless with our time.</p><p><br></p><p>As a result, time management is an indispensable skill to increase efficiency and effectiveness. In order to manage our time, we must have certain goals to attain by preparing and following a schedule of planned activities to accomplish aforesaid target. In this way we can make our actions goal-oriented and less time consuming.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>To conclude, unlike money, time can neither be earned nor saved for future use. Time and life are completely inseparable. We have no control over time but we can control our actions. By taking the right actions at the right time, we can make our life more satisfactory. People who waste their time wandering aimlessly tend to suffer. We can either make the best use of the time or just repent afterwards.</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <title>Some people find following a strict routine allows them to feel more in control. Others, however, think that constant changes to the routine make life more interesting and less predictable. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

         <description><![CDATA[<p>At present, the maintenance of routine has become a controversial topic, with both advantages and disadvantages. While many people think that having a fixed routine allows them to manage their lives easily, others hold a firm belief that spontaneous changes to their daily basis make life more curious and exciting. While a flexible routine is more motivational, I believe practising a fixed routine is with more benefits.</p><p><br></p><p>On the one hand, a routine with spontaneity can provide individuals with an interesting life full of experience and new practice. Undoubtedly, the nature of humanity all includes unexpected changes in every moment of life, as volatility gives human-beings a chance to be more innovative when they have to come up with fresh plans for the day. Even though it might be struggling to adapt to changing plans, this experience can motivate individuals to accomplish their daily goals without exhaustion and boredom.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>On the other hand, notwithstanding certain benefits brought about by a volatile lifestyle, it is better to take precautions and stick to one’s concrete routines. Most importantly, unchanged routines help individuals maintain self-discipline. This is because when a person manages to keep a permanent daily routine, they have a strong motivation to force themselves into the plans. As a result, those people are able to split their life equally, maintaining work-life balance between their jobs and their families. This eventually leads to a balance in one’s mental and physical health, capable of managing their life in the most well-rounded way. Additionally, changes and fluctuations sometimes produce stress, as they cause confusion and uncertainties. Indeed, successful people would rather be patient and wait for the appropriate time to change their life rather than constantly changing their routines without any self-discipline and order.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>In conclusion, while people may vary in their opinions, practising a strict routine is wholefully advantageous, from honing individuals’ self-discipline, to helping them reduce stress and focus more on their jobs. If better living conditions and more progress are what one is looking for, it would be better to set up an effective routine.</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <title> Nowadays parents put too much pressure on their children to succeed. What is the reason for doing this? Is this a negative or positive development?</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>In today's competitive world, many parents place considerable pressure on their children to excel academically and socially. This essay will present the reasons behind this phenomenon, followed by an explanation of the negative impacts of this development for children.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>One of the primary reasons for increased parental pressure is the desire for their children to succeed and secure a bright future. Parents often believe that pushing their children to excel in various aspects of life will increase their chances of gaining admission to prestigious universities and eventually securing lucrative careers offers. Furthermore, societal expectations and comparisons with peers may also contribute to the pressure parents place on their children. In many cultures, a child's achievements are seen as a reflection of the family's social standing, leading parents to push their children to outperform their peers in order to maintain or enhance their family's reputation.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>While parents may have good intentions in putting pressure on their children, this approach can have several negative consequences. Excessive pressure can lead to high levels of stress and anxiety in children, affecting their mental health and overall well-being. This stress can manifest in various forms, such as sleep disturbances, eating disorders, and depression. Moreover, constant pressure to excel can hinder a child's intrinsic motivation to learn and explore their interests, as they may begin to associate learning and achievement with environmental distraction, and peer pressure, rather than personal satisfaction and curiosity. In the long run, this can hinder their personal and professional growth.</p><p><br></p><p>In conclusion, increased parental pressure primarily stems from the desire for children's success and a bright future which is also influenced by societal expectations, peer comparisons, and the belief that achievements reflect a family's social standing. This is ultimately a negative development as it has significant consequences on children's mental health and motivation to thrive on their study path.</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <title>Most modern families have both parents working and as a result children spend less and less time with their parents. What is the reason for this? What problems can this cause?

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This modern era has witnessed an escalating number of double-breadwinner families. This phenomenon, as a result, leads to inadequate time of family union in common households, as both parents go to work and rarely have time for their children. This essay will present a reason for this phenomenon, followed by an explanation of the negative impact caused by this development.</p><p><br></p><p>One of the primary reasons for this status quo lies in the presence of gender equality, when more women desire financial independence. Consequently, a myriad of women travelling to work these days are responsible for positions that were once only granted to men. Along with the blessing of abolition of gender discrimination, the traditional role of women - homemaker - gradually disappeared. Rather than devoting the whole time for family, women have become career oriented, which keeps them busy with work.&nbsp; As a result, children lack bond and affection from their parents, and&nbsp; do not get proper attention from them. Another contributing factor for the inclination of working parents is high living expenses, which leaves many people with no other option than working. This is because as parents desire to offer better necessities to their offspring, they are willing to work overtime to earn extra. However, this might have a negative impact on kids' well-being as they cannot spare free time to spend with them, which leads to the isolated environment at home.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Spending little free time with children causes severe emotional distress and behavioural problems. Most importantly, children who lack parental attention are likely to feel emotionally neglected. This may lead to lower self-esteem and antisocial behaviours, including delinquency, illegal drug use, and unsafe sexual relationships. Additionally, this may adversely shape those children’s personalities and perception of life when they enter adulthood.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>In conclusion, due to expensive living expenses and the call for women’s independent financial status, parents hardly have time for their children. This lack of parental presence does more harm to children than it does to parents.</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>In this day and age, there has been a significant debate over the superior approach to building design when it comes to urban planning. Some individuals argue that residing in a sprawling, low-rise city is ideal, while others advocate for settling in cities characterised by high-rise buildings. Although there are advantages to living in a city with predominantly low-rise structures, I argue that cities with skyscrapers and tall buildings provide even greater benefits.</p><p><br></p><p>On the one hand, a horizontal city has its own benefits in terms of safety and a sense of privacy. In fact, in emergency events, for example, an unpredictable fire, escaping from those tall towers becomes more challenging. Firefighters may find it difficult to enter the building when the elevators are broken and thousands of lives of its residents would be at stake. Additionally, some vertical structures may be vulnerable to natural disasters and unable to withstand extreme ones such as earthquakes or hurricanes. The potential collapse of these tall buildings could lead to devastating consequences, causing severe damage to the surrounding areas.</p><p><br></p><p>However, in the context of overpopulation, I firmly believe that adopting a vertical approach to city planning is a more viable solution for the future. The density of the population leads to many considerable problems, including housing shortages, and the pricey expenditure of owning a place. Skyscrapers offer a highly efficient use of limited urban space, accommodating a significantly larger population within the same land area that low-rise buildings would require. On top of that, high-rise buildings also help create a friendly living community, where residents can easily access the things they need within the same building or apartment, thus significantly reducing excessive travel and promoting an environmentally sustainable lifestyle.</p><p><br></p><p>In conclusion, while there are certain benefits to living in a low-rise city, the advantages associated with residing in a city defined by skyscrapers make high-rise urban living the more appealing choice in my opinion.</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <title>Some cities create housing for growing populations by building taller buildings while other cities have opted to build on wider areas of land. Which solution is better?

         <description><![CDATA[<p>With the increasing population in urban areas, many cities have opted for either developing vertical housing or horizontal housing. While the authorities in several cities decide to construct high-rise buildings to provide housing for their citizens, others opt to expand their housing areas horizontally. In my opinion, building a vertical city is a better option since it makes better use of land, a limited resource on the planet, and it is also more eco-friendly than a horizontal one.</p><p><br></p><p>First and foremost, a vertical city can better optimise the land use because land on earth will not grow any bigger, while the human population is ever-increasing. If tall apartments are erected and chosen as a place of residence, a unit of land can accommodate a larger number of residents. For instance, instead of allocating 100 miles square of land for the construction of houses for a population of only 100 households, the government can provide accommodation for ten times as many when constructing a ten-story apartment. Then, more land can be available for other purposes, such as cultivating crops to meet the growing food demands or expanding streets to alleviate traffic congestion, which can address critical issues associated with overpopulation.</p><p><br></p><p>Meanwhile, housing areas enlarged in a horizontal direction place a high pressure on the environment and people’s life. As a result of the increasing population of humans, wildlands may be encroached to make room for residential areas. For example, in Brazil, a major part of forests are cleared to build more houses for citizens, which not only endangers wildlife but also puts human civilization at higher risk of natural disasters. With narrowed forests, floods and droughts have taken place more often, damaging the agriculture, the economy and other important sectors of this country.</p><p><br></p><p>In conclusion, employing the same area of land, vertical cities can house more citizens than horizontal cities which are not only environmentally damaging but also unsustainable in the long run. Personally, municipal leaders should develop their city in a vertical way as soon as possible.</p><p><br></p>]]></description>
