Many women are choosing to have children later in life. Why is this?

Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

Presently, there is a growing trend among the females of opting to deliver

children at a later stage of life. This essay will attribute this movement to
several prominent grounds and explain why the drawbacks are eclipsed by
its benefits.
There are several major reasons that having children early is not the choice
of many women. One of them is that they want to pay full attention to their
work and themselves. Nowadays, the constant development of the world has
put a lot of strain on female employees when they have to work hard so that
they do not fall behind and earn for living. Another thing is that they worry
about the burdens that they have to shoulder when taking care of a child. To
nurture a child in the most optimum way, it requires parents to have
sufficient child-rearing knowledge as well as a stable financial status after
the child is given birth. For example, Singaporean women need to graduate
from universities or colleges if they want to have [Link] policy is enacted
in order to prevent any premature deliveries, which, in the long term, affect
the development of the children as the parents were neither equipped with
parental knowledge nor the financial means.
delayed parenthood could exert both positive and negative effects; however,
it seems very likely that the advantages it provides far outweigh
disadvantages. First of all, this trend helps improve the living standard of
women. For the most part, Giving birth to a child is often associated with
many problems. For example, the child-rearers would be more susceptible to
stress and fatigue if they somehow fail to resolve, say, their children's tuition
fee or health problems. Having delayed their parenthood, couples will have
more opportunities to pursue their passion and career path, be closer with
families and tighten social relationships without children will be given more
space to pursue their career and strengthen the ties/bonds with their family
members or social circles. In addition, this trend contributes to reducing
overpopulation. The fertility rate worldwide is increasing substantially and, in
the near future, humans will be faced with shrunken living space and housing
shortages. Thus, having children later is also a suitable solution to
accommodation issues.
In conclusion, modern women have two main reasons for giving birth later:
the attention to work and the hope of a thorough preparation for children.
Although this choice can potentially have some drawbacks, it is likely to have
more benefits for females’ own life and withholding the population boom.
Some people think history has nothing or little to tell us, but others
think that studying the past history can help us better understand
the present. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

There is a difference of opinion when it comes to defining the significance of

history. While it is supposed that history plays a crucial role in helping
humanity reflect on the past and better the present, the opposing faction
tends to denigrate it. Personally, I subscribe to the former view.

On the one hand, it is said that studying the past is quite impractical. In
many countries, history is not added to the curriculum, but the core subjects
such as science, maths, languages or biography were widely incorporated
because of their higher practicality for humankind’s advancement in the
future. Furthermore, history is still a rather ambiguous concept to a number
of countries. There have been several newly-developed and nascent
countries emerging; thus, the treasure of past knowledge would be
considered minuscule when put into comparison with that of other countries.
Instead, I believe it will be more prudent to rule out the subject of history and
resort to other subjects which prove vital to the development of science and
technology.

On the other hand, I maintain the importance of history should be further

emphasized due to the numerous merits it has to offer. First of all, history
lovers can gain a deeper appreciation of their current life. Presently, a lot of
countries in the world have regained their independence after hundreds, or
even thousand years of wars. When it comes to Vietnam, the students are
taught about the Vietnam war at schools, they will know how much their
ancestors had sacrificed for the current independence. Thus, they will
become more respectful about what they have now and strive to study. What
is more, preserving cultural identity is another great application of history
study. Traditional customs such as dance, instruments, and buildings are
priceless intangible treasures of a nation. Therefore, so long as every citizen
equips themselves with history knowledge, the generations to
come/succeeding generations will always remember these values. This would
at the same time instigate a sense of national pride and solidify our belief in
the face of continuous gaslighting from the hostile sides

In conclusion, Although there are several drawbacks of history that affect

people’s experience about history such as its attraction and existence, I still
opt to study history since it encourages me to treasure my life as well as the
well-being of my nation.
An increase in the production of consumer goods results in damage
to the natural environment. Why is the case, and what solutions are
possible?

Presently, there has been a growth in the production of consumer goods.

However, this is taking a heavy toll on the natural surroundings There are
several prominent reasons for this, and measures should be taken.

To begin with, the environment is harmed both directly and indirectly. Firstly,
there is a positive correlation between the amount of goods used and waste
released. Although governments and organizations are striving to invest in
waste treatment systems, the amount of released materials is too much to
handle. As a result, a lot of rubbish is buried or thrown into lakes or rivers,
whose chemical leak leads to land and water contamination. Secondly, for
the past few decades, the demand for possessing luxury items made from
elephants’ tusks and crocodiles’ skins has been gaining in popularity. Many
people, in turn, are incentivized by this commercial opportunity .
Consequently, the more common poaching is, the more animal population
declines, which not only causes the disappearance of some endangered
wildlife in the future, but also disrupts the food chain in habitats.
Consequently, the practice of poaching has led to the dwindling population of
rare species, leading to their future disappearance and a disruption of food
chain .

Fortunately, there are several ways to approach these problems . First, the
government should provide more funding for recycling systems. Presently,
with advances in technology, it is possible for many kinds of materials to be
recycled and reused. Besides, to make this measure more effective, it is
essential to raise people’s awareness of recycling. In some countries, using
monetary rewards is one of the popular choices local authorities follow to
encourage people to recycle. Second, tax should be levied on consumers of
luxury goods made from animals' body parts. This will help subjugate the
desire for such products. What is more, governments should enact stricter
laws in the environmental legislation to punish those illegally hunting
animals for business.

In conclusion, when the production of consumer goods increases, disposal

systems for enormous amounts of waste are not enough and a danger of
extinction of some species is impending. Thus, by recycling and introducing
green policies, our planet can avert a potential ecological disaster.
Many people go to university for academic study. More people
should be encouraged to do vocational training because there is a
lack of qualified workers such as electricians and plumbers. To what
extent do you agree or disagree?

Due to a shortage of skilled craftsmen, the appeal of higher education is

reduced as more people are considering opting out of universities and
gravitating towards vocational training schools. Personally, I believe
university is still the better option for individuals and the society.

Firstly, some individuals believe that the tuition spent for vocational training
is more reasonable than higher education, so it helps the youth with poor
finances to have jobs. However, the knowledge universities provide helps
open up employment opportunities with better salaries. To illustrate, some
jobs such as doctors or lawyers are paid with high salaries and can only be
applied for by those with related certificates and expertise. Thus, in my view,
even though vocational training streamlines the job searching process, it is
the ultimate knowledge derived from university that will help learners
achieve a higher salary.

Secondly, the pressure on evolution is intense. Every nation is making an

effort to educate future generations through higher education policy so that
they are able to translate the hard-earned knowledge into practical values.
For example, Vietnamese and some nations’ universities are prioritizing the
delivery of language courses with the hope that those, equipped with
expertise, skills, and capabilities, are able to integrate into the foreign
market more easily and effectively. As a result, this movement would
promote economic development and cultural integration internationally.
Therefore, a country with promising graduates will eventually be a priceless
treasure for its development.

In conclusion, I would argue that students should take academic study at the
universities for their own and nations’ long-lasting benefits in general.
All fathers should be entitled to time off from work when their
children are born. What is your opinion?

It is believed that all fathers should be given parental leave when their
children are born. In my view, this should be encouraged considering the
possible mental conditions mothers have to suffer after delivery and a
healthy relationship within a family.

First of all, after giving birth, women are susceptible to depression and
insomnia caused by long days of taking care of babies. If the situation
persists, it is very likely that mothers will lapse into a serious state where
their psychological and physical well-being is shattered. This can be even
worse when mothers with low endurance have thoughts of committing
suicide. Therefore, to prevent the worst scenario, companies should give
male employees the right to have days off so that they are able to share the
burden with their wives as well as comfort them. More importantly, with the
help of the husband, the wife is given the necessary time to navigate
themselves back into the new normal pace of life.

Moreover, having quality time with the wives can help to strengthen family
bonds. In contemporary families, the value of sharing and empathy has
become so crucial when the connection between the husband and wife is
becoming increasingly severed due to hectic schedules. This is particularly
true upon delivery where the wife would need constant consolation from the
husband. Therefore, Understanding how much the other half has sacrificed
helps to protect the families from unexpected conflicts and a dysfunctional
family, thereby ensuring children’s healthy development.

In conclusion, I totally agree that fathers should have some days off because
it not only helps mothers to be free from depression, but also builds a loving
family.
Many people believe that increasing levels of violence on television
and in films is having a direct result on levels of violence in society.
Others claim that violence in society is the result of more
fundamental social problems such as unemployment.

How much do you think society is affected by violence in the media?

There is a difference of opinion as to where the rising level of violence in the

society is sourced from. While one side argues that this is closely associated
with the increasingly popular violent footage, the other thinks it is largely
due to the on-going social issues. Personally, I subscribe to the view that
both arguments contribute to the increase of social violence.

To begin with, the broadcasting of violent images in the media affects the
cognitive development of the young viewers. This is because young people
are at the age where they have less life experience and an immature
mindset to filter out the bad influences. Furthermore, if children are exposed
to unsuitable or improper movies for their age without being conscious
raised the awareness of its impact by parents and older people, they will
form a habit of imitating the violent behaviors. This will sow the seeds of
aggressiveness, and, over the course of time, fully develop into destructive
characteristics in the future.

On the other hand, I argue that the rise of violence rate is attributed to
fundamental social problems such as unemployment. Given the increase of
unemployment rate, the overall well-being of citizens is deteriorating rapidly.
Many people are suffering from poor quality of life and cannot afford bare
necessities. The pressure of earning a living has driven many people to
become dissatisfied and impulsive, eventually forming an anti-social belief
that the world is so harsh on them.

In conclusion, I am of the opinion that both the media and social issues
contribute to the ever-increasing violent occurrence. I do wish the
government will call for a more healthy and friendly content sharing system
for media, and, if possible, take into consideration the role of unemployment
in this problem.
People say that it is a waste of time for high school students to
learn literature such as novels and poems. Do you agree or
disagree?

Literature has long been regarded as one of core subjects in the curriculum.
However, not until recently, this long-standing notion is opposed greatly as
people are expressing certain reservations concerning its importance to the
children’s development. Personally, I believe the role of literature should not
be belittled like this.

Firstly, publications in literature books will nurture the mental world of

highschool students. The process of composing and editing requires
tremendous resources of the authors. As a result, literature books contains a
huge treasure of humankind’s knowledge. Therefodre, through reading
novels and poems, this will facilitate readers to gain access to new
information, which helps enrich students’ knowledge in the near future.

Furthermore, literature will bring about a sense of patriotism among the

youth. In our country, to reflect how painful our ancestors had fought and
died for peace, many patriotic writers have been incorporating these
patriotic values into their work. Being the generation that fully inherits the
fruits of our predecessors, besides the great mission of preserving and
cherishing this hard-earned peace, literature may be the tool for students to
reconnect to the past and reflect on themselves, on the way they are
treating their country.

In conclusion, even though some individuals suppose that learning literature

is useless, I still believe it is necessary for developing the students’ mindset.
As a young teacher in the future, I will encourage my learners to build the
habit of reading novels and poems.
In many countries, more and more young people are leaving school
and unable to find jobs after graduation. What problems do you
think youth unemployment will cause to the individual and society?
Give reasons and make some suggestions.

In contemporary society, there has been a marked increase in the number of

graduates remaining unemployed. This has given rise to various
consequences that directly affect the economic growth of a country and the
well-being of an individual. This essay will discuss these problems and
provide corresponding solutions.

Regarding individuals, they would suffer from the loss of motivation and
hope if they are not able to find a job. Students tend to be eager to graduate
from school. At the point of graduation, all of them feel that they are
touching the maturity thresholds which drive them to nurture/harbor the
thoughts of leading an independent life. Sadly, not all of them can apply for
their ideal jobs, or receive the invitation of interview from recruiters. As a
result, such depression due to unemployment demotivates young students
and makes them feel doubtful about their own capability. More significantly,
the trend of youth unemployment can put a strain on families and
authorities. For example, many parents have to continue to financially
support their offspring even though not all households have a sufficient
financial condition. When it comes to governments, they also have a
particular concern about juvenile delinquency such as pickpocketing or theft
whose part of the motive is a lack of money for daily needs. In addition, this
will tamper with social order. A particular concern about the rising
emergence of juvenile delinquency such as pick-pocketing or burglary has
caused quite a social unease.

Generally, there are two major grounds for this recent trend. The first one is
the lack of effort. Although the higher education system is geared towards
the enhancement of student’s theoretical and practical knowledge, the
element of effort plays a vital role in successfully applying for a job. Unless
they exert themselves to enrich their expertise, businesses and companies
will opt for more excellent and skillful candidates. In addition, negligence in
their job finding process is another reason. Presently, there are many high-
performing students who graduate from prestigious schools, and get high
degrees and different certificates, but cannot seek a job. This is because
they do not consider the job description seriously while each business has
their own requirements. Thus, it is essential to guarantee that their students’
abilities personalities match with the firm’s requirements.

Fortunately, there are certain approaches we could adopt to address these

issues. Firstly, parental education is considered no less important in this
respect. Though indirectly, parents, with their accumulated experience,
should be the most suitable career advisor for their children. This will in turn
reduce the possibility of children taking up a wrong profession or one that is
incompatible with their own strengths and weaknesses. Inadequately, the
interference from the government is demanded. The increased provision of
vocational training and rotational language courses should be the most
viable option to improve the employability of the unemployed youngsters. In
Vietnam, especially the rural or underdeveloped areas, there have been
many non-profit educational units who traveled to these places in the hope
of providing access to education to the local people. And, as a result, the
economic growth recorded in all provincial areas has witnessed a positive
trend in the last decade, something that is initially considered impossible in
such a limited span of time.

In conclusion, I believe that a lack of effort and carelessness impact the

future career of newly postgraduates, which then demotivates them.
Therefore, the two solutions I want to suggest to
Some people think that governments should ban dangerous sports,
while others think people should have freedom to do any sports or
activity. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

There is a difference of opinion as to extreme sports. While it is thought that

they should be forbidden, others argue that freedom of choice is better.
Personally, I subscribe to the latter as long as the safety of the participants is
ensured.

There are several reasons why dangerous sports should be banned. Perhaps,
this helps restrain children from imitating athletes’ dangerous movements.
With the aid of digital devices and the mass media, sporting events are now
launched worldwide and attract the attention of any age, especially children.
These immature youth, with limited knowledge, are susceptible to curiosity,
thereby giving these sports a try without the permission of adults. As a
result, because of a lack of skills and physicality, they are more likely to be
injured than skillful players.

Nevertheless, I still believe that prohibiting extreme sports is redundant.

Firstly, these will train the resilience of the participants. Adventure sports
such as skydiving or surfing require a high degree of skills which every
enthusiast has to strive for if they want to be more competent. The
difficulties they face during the journey provide an opportunity for
participants to enhance their tenacity. In addition, training courses are set in
place as prerequisites for any adventurous-seekers. Thus, any participants
before performing are already trained to deal with any unexpected
circumstances. The whole idea of prohibiting dangerous sports is merely a
myth made by over worried adults without looking at the true benefits of
playing them.

In conclusion, even though extreme sports can cause serious wounds,

parents and schools can prevent these by raising their awareness of how
dangerous some sports are. Thus, such sports still should be public for
boosting players’ willpower as long as they possess sufficient experiences
and a deep understanding of the sport.
Advertisements are becoming more and more common in everyday
life. Is it a positive or negative development?

Presently, commercials are gaining in popularity in every aspect of our lives.

From my observation, this could do wonders for society as a whole.

First, the existence of ads streamlines the purchasing decision of customers.

Many decades ago, before the advent of the Internet, which facilitated the
emergence of the media, Buyers had to make decisions based on limited
choices supermarkets offered. Nevertheless, with the aid of televisions,
social media, and E-commerce, commercials of countless products are
launched, thereby helping customers to gain insights into the various
options, and get the most out of their money.

Second, if we look further into the whole advertisement and media industry,
certainly, this has created abundant job opportunities. For example, since
the advertising industry was discovered, a range of positions including
content creators, market analysts, cameramen, sound and effect makers,
etc.. have been birthed. Workers in these jobs are now the ones dominating
the business world as their products, advertising videos, billboards, analysis,
are occupying an irreplaceable position in the heart of the customers. Thus,
the popularity of advertisements helps generate more employment
opportunities for citizens who have an interest in the creative attribute of the
advertising market.

In conclusion, I contend that with the benefits of the convenience in shopping

choices and the increase in job opportunities of advertisements, we should
develop this industry for the greater well-being of humans.

Nowadays young people are admiring media and sports stars, even
though they do not set a good example. Do you think this is a
positive or negative development?
The youth blindly idolizes the media and sports icons despite their dismal
failure in becoming a good role model. This blind worship must be stopped
immediately considering the time wasted and the unscrupulous methods of
stars in endorsing products.

Firstly, when young people idolize celebrities, they tend to spend a lot of
time on surfing the Internet to be updated with idols’ daily life, their hobbies
as well as events they will participate in. Nevertheless, this unintentionally
wastes the quality time spent for family members and friends, which
negatively impacts relationships in the long term. Moreover, many young
students travel to other countries just to take part in the idols’ performances,
which occupies the time which could instead be used for studying, thus
resulting in a poorer academic performance.

Secondly, celebrity endorsement can manipulate the young and immature

viewers into forming a false perception of products. There have been cases
where avaricious stars would deliberately exaggerate the usefulness of the
goods they are selling and conceal the side-effects or harmful chemicals
used. Beauty enthusiasts, mainly the young, will spring to the cosmetics
outlets to obtain such products. As a result, many have encountered serious
facial degradation due to the incompatibility with the ingredients of the
product, or, more precisely, the deliberately hidden ingredients.

In conclusion, with the influences above, young people should spend less
time on looking up to stars, pay attention to the real rapport and search
thoroughly the products celebrities recommend before consumption.

The expansion of multinational companies and increase in

globalization produce positive effects to everyone. To what extent
do you agree or disagree with this statement?

The increasing globalization, facilitated by international companies striving

to extend their influence, is believed to be beneficial universally. I concur
with this view considering the huge economic, cultural and social advantages
gained.

up more employment opportunities for the local people. In many corners of

the world, a lot of people are still suffering from unemployment. Their
inability to afford necessaries due to limited resources leads to many
ongoing social issues increasing burglary, bank robbery, unsafe
neighborhood, threatened social order. However, this circumstance can be
reduced with the growth of multinational businesses in their countryside. As
firms expand their cooperation into different countries, they will need to
recruit a large number of employees to run the business. This will provide
the window opportunity for the natives to apply for jobs and earn an income.
In some provinces of Vietnam like Binh Phuoc, millions of poor workers are
able to financially support themselves and their families thanks to the
recruitment of Korean and Chinese factories.

Moreover, the rise in globalization brings many benefits to worldwide

nations. Firstly, when people in different regions have the chance to
understand cultures, the cultural gap is shortened, thereby helping them to
share and communicate more effectively. As a result of improved
intercultural communication, the overall knowledge of humanity will certainly
see a positive change through the process of constant integration in the
absence of assimilation. Presently, universities in Vietnam are making an
effort to create more meetings for native and international students. This
step is expected to help future generations to enrich their growing mindset
and become more creative and confident Secondly, not all countries can
produce enough commedities to meet their residents’ demand. Thus,
importing more goods from other countries helps to tackle this problem and
create more shopping choices besides domestic goods.

In conclusion, with more job opportunities for the native workers, an ideal
environment for personal development, and abundant supplies, I believe
every government should allow multinational companies to enter the
national market for a prosperous future.

People think that government should increase the cost of fuel for
cars and other vehicles to solve environmental problems. Give your
opinion.
It is clear that fuels play a crucial role in transportation. However, It is
believed that an increase in the price of fuel could prove to be vital to the
well-being of the environment .Personally, I agree with this view.

First of all, the rising cost of fuel is likely to discourage drivers from using
their personal vehicles. In many countries, traveling by motorbikes or cars
has always been popular for its convenience and privacy. Nevertheless, this
has taken a heavy toll on the Earth since the gasoline that vehicles burn
release a great volume of into the atmosphere, thereby exacerbating global
warming. Consequently, the frequent occurrence of natural catastrophe such
as heatwaves, severe drought, and extreme precipitation has pushed the
authorities to levy fuel taxes in the hope of citizens opting for a less polluting
alternative.

Furthermore, it will help to form a greener lifestyle for residents if the

government do decide to increase the price of fuel . With the alarming rate
of extreme weather phenomenon, it is now so urgent for all people to deal
with it, especially younger generations because they will be the future
inhabitants of the planet. For example, the latest rise in petrol rice in British
has encouraged many British families to commute by bikes or public
transportation and restrain from using personal vehicles. In the near future,
these positive habits can be passed on to and inherited by our descendants.

In conclusion, increasing fuel cost not only raises people awareness of

prioritizing public transportation because of enormous impacts of fossil fuel
combustion, but motivates individuals to protect the environment.

Some people think that people should be given the right to use
fresh water as they like. Others believe governments should strictly
control the use of fresh water. Discuss both views and give your
own opinion.
There are two different views of using fresh water. While some believe that it
is essential for the governments to offer people an endless amount of pure
water, others think a restriction should be prioritized. From my observation,
water should be used without any restriction as it will benefit the well-being
of the citizens.

On the one hand, limitless access to clean water can offer citizens great
comfort and healthy living conditions. For example, in cities with a high
population density, water demand is at its utmost priority. Given the
availability of water, people will no longer worry about whether their bare
necessities will be affected. By contrast, if the restrictions on water
consumption were imposed, people would resort to ground and river water,
which involves a high level of risk and harmful bacteria, thereby putting their
health in jeopardy.

On the other hand, I still maintain that governments should give people more
opportunities to consume pure water regardless of the amount. This is
because fresh water is strongly associated with our health. Particularly, using
fresh water helps to alleviate skin-related diseases and prevent households
from consuming polluted water. In some developing countries, due to a lack
of clean water supply, underprivileged residents are still resorting to water
from nearby rivers and lakes covered with a bunch of domestic waste and
bacteria. As a result, this adversely impacts people’s health in the long term.
Thus, unless national authorities do limit the amount of water citizens use,
they will no longer have to resort to alternative resources.

In conclusion, while it is irrefutable that people can enjoy a pleasant and

healthy living environment if authorities let them use water as much as they
desire, I opine that the implementation of restrictions on water consumption
is of great importance. This policy can not only help preserve the water but
also benefit the underprivileged.
