There are many different types of music in the world today. Why do we need music? Is the traditional music of a country more important than the international music that is heard everywhere nowadays?

You should write at least 250 words.

Use your own ideas, knowledge and experience and support your arguments with examples and relevant evidence.

Answer

-->

Music is becoming an essential part of human life nowadays. We can hear the music in the street, in a restaurant or in a shopping mall. It could help us to entertain after hard working hours, to cheer up an upset friend or to express our emotions. Today there are various kinds of music in the world, however, the international music that can be heard everywhere cannot replace the traditional music of each nation for a number of reasons. 

First of all, traditional music nurtures one's patriotism as it represents history, beliefs, and traditions of any given country. One person has got into music since he was little by his mother or grandmother's lullabies or in the music lesson at school. It makes him become patriotic to his own country and people. Secondly, the traditional music displays the beauty of a culture that what makes a culture unique and outstanding from the others. You can never find another music that has the same tone as Vietnamese traditional music like Tuong, Cheo.

On the other hand, some people believe that international music is as important as traditional one is. Through international music, one can get closer and familiar to other nations. Furthermore, as the world is getting more and more civilized and developed, international music is up to date with current needs. Even though we cannot refuse the charm and entertainment of international music, it cannot prioritize the traditional music because traditional music has its roots in and historical and geographical associations with a culture.

In short, music is frankly inseparable and will continue to be a fundamental part of our life though out time. However, the unique culture of a nation will be alive only when people, especially young generation, get connected to the traditional music.

Answer

As I always fantasize about my own stunning and unforgettable future wedding, today I will write about the similarities and differences in the ways Vietnamese people and American people celebrate their wedding :)) tada

Beautiful in white :*

All countries in the world are unique. Obviously, countries are different from one another in location, size, language, climate, lifestyles and culture. Vietnam and America are also in this cycle. Due to the tremendously differences in culture, they have their very own ways to celebrate their wedding. 

The significant similarity between American weddings and Vietnamese weddings is that event is a milestone in everyone's life. It marks their maturity as the bride and groom are going to build their own family with a lot of responsibilities. In addition, it is a time when family, relatives and close friends reunite to congratulate on their new life and bless the brides and grooms.

However, Vietnamese weddings and American weddings are various in location, time, and how they hold the ceremony. While American people, who believe in God, often arrange their wedding in church, Vietnamese weddings usually take place at home or in a luxurious hotel. Another difference is the way they conduct the wedding. In America, after the brides walk through the aisles, everyone will listen to the toasts given by the best men or bridesmaids. Then the bride and groom will make their vows, put the rings on one another finger and share a kiss. After the ceremony, the American newly-wed couples will go on a honeymoon. On the contrary, the most fundamental etiquette in Vietnamese weddings is praising their ancestors. Afterwards, the bride will be taken to groom's house for the other similar etiquette. Unlike weddings in America, which often last for few hours, Vietnamese weddings may take place in one or even two days. 

Although Vietnam and America have something in common, there are remarkable differences that make each country unique and creative. That is what make the world extraordinary.

Topic

Present a written argument or case to an educated reader with no specialist knowledge of the following topic:

Leaders and directors in an organisation are normally elder people. Some people think younger leader would be better. Do you agree or disagree?

You should write at least 250 words.

Use your own ideas, knowledge and experience and support your arguments with examples and relevant evidence.

Answer

It is said that leaders and directors in an organisation are normally elder people. However, in modern society, it is no longer unusual that one becomes leader at his very young age. As far as I am concern, young leaders can definitely do their job as good as, or even better than the elders. 

First of all, young leaders are often highly educated, highly skilled and open-minded. Definitely we could not judge a person’s ability based on his qualifications only but somehow these things display a huge part of his quality. Moreover, the youngsters would be willing to change or adapt to fit in the modern conditions while elder people are sometimes rigid with their antiquated attitude. Besides, younger leaders tend to be more ambitious and active than the older ones. Because they just start to build their career, they would be more likely to contribute and have a lot of plans in their mind to develop their career and the organisation.

Certainly in comparison to elder people, young leaders appear to be lack of experience, immature and even risky. However, sometimes, dare to take the risk is the key factor to succeed. There are many people who have the same qualifications and skills but not every one could dare to take the risk.    

Although it is doubtful that young leaders would be completely better than older ones, how nice it would be to give those youngsters the chances to prove themselves and blow a new air into an organisation.

Show how the world has changed since the invention of the cell (mobile) phone. How did people communicate before its invention? How easy or difficult was it to get in contact with someone?

You should write at least 250 words.

Use your own ideas, knowledge and experience and support your arguments with examples and relevant evidence.

Frankly I can't live without you :3

Answer

As a result of the technological development, many kinds of modern technology have been invented to facilitate human life. Cell phone is a typical example. We cannot say that is totally beneficial or harmful, however, the world has changed in many aspects due to this invention. Before cell phone was invented, people used to communicate by letters. Every idea can be shown clearly by written words. Nonetheless, it is not a convenient way because writers have to wait for quite a long time to receive the response and there may be a risk of loss while delivering. Another disadvantage of communicating by letters is that words sometimes cannot express truly one's feelings. Moreover, when communicating by letters, you cannot see the others' attitude. If they misunderstand your words, it will be hard to explain. 

The invention of mobile phone has made things so much easier. Using cell phone, people can contact any one at any time and anywhere they want by a variety of application like messenger, viber or zalo. For example, when you are in emergency, you just have to call your family or friends and they will be there for you immediately. Besides, it will decrease the chance of misunderstanding when people talk to each other. However, we cannot ignore some disadvantages that cellphone has brought to our life. First of all is the addict to this device. Many youngsters, even children, are stuck to mobile phone all day. They use their phone everywhere and every time that can be harmful to their health and study.

To conclude, the invention of cell phone has made our communication more simple and convenient. Nevertheless, every thing has two sides. This invention is good or bad depends deeply on the users.

Topic: 

Present a written argument or case to an educated reader with no specialist knowledge of the following topic:

Should wealthy nations be required to share their wealth among poorer nations by providing such things as food and education? Or is it the responsibility of the governments of poorer nations to look after their citizens themselves?

You should write at least 250 words.

Use your own ideas, knowledge and experience and support your arguments with examples and relevant evidence.

First draft:

Beside many wealthy countries in the world there are also a lot of poor nations who cannot look after their citizens themselves for essential issues of life such as food and education. However, it is not a good idea that rich nations have to share their wealth among poorer countries.

First of all, it may be harmful to generously provide everything that poor countries need because that can make them too dependent on the aids. They will not want to improve their economy, agriculture or education when good things are given for free. 

Secondly, wealthy nations already have to take responsibility for their citizens life. It will be a pressure, or even a risk to make them care for the others countries. This one way relation is fragile and not good for any sides in general.

Last but not least, when a government cannot look after their citizens for such basic things as food and education, they will lose their citizens' faith and then their power. That can lead to commotion or even worse, war.

In short, if a poor country wants to get rid of poverty and become developed and prosperous, it has to stand on its own foot to make the change.

Second draft:

--> Among many wealthy countries in the world there are also a lot of poor nations who cannot look after their citizens themselves for essential issues of life such as food and education. However, I think that it is not a good idea that rich nations have to share their wealth among poorer countries.

First of all, it may be harmful to generously provide everything that poor countries need because that can make them too dependent on the aids. They will not want to improve their economy, agriculture or education when good things are given for free. It is only good when these nations facilitate their economy, finance or education based on the aids, which can be money or material facilities, from wealthy ones.

Secondly, wealthy nations already have to take responsibility for their citizen lives. It will be a pressure, or even a risk to make them care for the others countries. This one-way relation is fragile and not good for any sides in general. Their citizens may also feel unfair when the taxes they paid are used for other nations.

Last but not least, when a government cannot look after their citizens for such basic things as food and education, they will lose their citizens' faith and then their power. That can lead to commotion or even worse, war.

In short, if a poor country wants to get rid of poverty and become developed and prosperous, it has to stand on its own foot to make the change.

Some collected samples: 
Sample Answer 1:
Some school of thought believe that strong economies should aid the poor countries in terms of supporting them in their primary needs, while some others think it is due to the local governments to deal with such internal problems. Although both the parties have some strong justifications to support their ideas, I personally agree with the first group more because of several key factors including lack of resources in such poor economies, the fact that we are living in a global society.

The first important point I would like to mention is the fact that most of poor economies are suffering from lack of having enough facilities and resources in the fields such as education and food. As the first may lead to making them even poorer and also increases the amount of criminal actions and even worse in some cases potentially making some people to join terroristic groups. While the latter causes several unpleasant result such as children disability and death.

Another important thing is we should not forget all the people in the world are part of one community, the human being. Regardless of all the things makes us different, we all share the same biology. Therefore, as a human everybody should try his/her best to do what he can to make the world more pleasing place for the others. Moreover as it mentioned above, some of the negative results such as terrorism may directly affect the other nations including first world countries.

To put everything in a nutshell, supporting the poor countries to make a better life for their people will cause several pleasant results not only domestically but in some cases internationally and more importantly, it all is justified by humanity.

Sample Answer 2:
Although there is wide disparity in the resources  available to the people living in different countries, but,  still I would argue that the government should be accountable for fulfilling its citizens day to day needs.

It is imperative that the government in each country is held responsible for providing its citizen basic needs. Firstly, if help is always at hand, some governments may not put in all their efforts to meet both hands, while, few others are going an extra mile to cater for their own as well as the other nations demand. Poor nation can borrow money from world bank to set up , for instance , short scale industries to create employment for its people and  boost the economy in long run. Various other steps can always be taken by venturing in trade and commerce for well- being of the nation.

 

Secondly, it may seem unfair to the citizens of the nation providing support that the taxes paid by them for the development of their own nation are being used towards others. Furthermore, it is also a herculean task to categorize all the nations into rich and poor, and then to select a criteria to decide the priority among nations seeking help. Despite all that, we all should be ready to offer help to a nation in times of crisis that arise due  to unforeseen circumstances, for instance , floods, earthquake, hurricanes.

 

In conclusion, the common needs of a man should be looked after by the ruling government he chose for himself  while in times of  calamities, we all  should stand united for each other.

Sample Answer 3:
There is a considerable debate over charity and aid system in first world countries. This essay is about the necessity of providing life supplies and education to nations which can’t stand on their feet and why these nations should be responsible for providing aid to poor countries.

First of all, it all started with the invention of steam power. Human kind's exploration chances have risen enormously with this invention and as a result of this colonization became a real deal. While masters increased their wealth, slaves' life standard decreased tremendously. Because of this decrease in life standards, many of the former colonies don't have the power to provide their own nation with even basic requirements. From another point of view, living and education is a birth right of humanity and these shouldn't be a concern normally. Wealthy nations should also take responsibility to provide suitable life needs it most. For instance, anyone who seek for justice should have right to escalate their case to European Court of Human Rights and similar processes should be available for people who are seeking for their born rights such as foods and education.

On the other hand, the main reason why people favor the idea not to share their wealth's with others is because the end of colonization worldwide. They believe that they had plenty of time to improve their economy. As a result of this, it was the poor nations' problem to take care of their mess.

In conclusion, my personal view about charity and aid to poor nation is a responsibility of both parts. Wealthy nations should provide local governments with aid and guidance to offer their nation with better life standards.
