Lesson 2: Discussion question
Case 1: Opinions
+some people….However, others….
(hai quan điểm này có thể đối lập nhau hoàn toàn,hoặc chỉ đơn thuần là 2 quan
điểm khác nhau xoay quanh 1 chủ đề)
+discuss both views and give your opinion
Sample Question (4/2/2023)
Governments should ban dangerous sports. Others think that people should have
the freedom to do any sport activity.
Step 2: Paraphrasing

 dangerous sports = high-risk / perilous sports / activities = extreme sports

 to ban something = to prohibit / prohibition = to forbid = ST is illegal = ST is not
allowed = to impose a(n) (outright) ban on ST
 to have the freedom to do something = to allow individuals the liberty to ... = personal
freedom / independence / autonomy to ... = to be given full rein to ...
 examples of dangerous sports: parachuting, wave surfing, car racing, scuba diving, ...
=>nói về quan điểm của người khác trước rồi mới bàn đến quan điểm của mình
Type 2: (mang tính balanced view)

Type 3: cả 2 quan điểm đều sai

Đề bài:
Some people say that economic growth is the only way to end world poverty and hunger. Others
say that economic growth is damaging the environment and should be stopped.
Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Mở bài:
It is widely acknowledged that many parts of the world are still struggling with abject poverty
and hunger. While a school of thought holds that these thorny problems are best dealt with by
developing the economy prosperously, others claim that this solution is synonymous with
wreaking havoc on the environment and thus it should come to a halt.
This essay would discuss both views before drawing a reasoned conclusion.

Thân bài 1 – Ủng hộ tăng trưởng kinh tế:

Economic growth is irrefutably central to lifting a country out of austerity and hardship.
Obviously, the rapid development of the national economy could markedly boost disposable
incomes and living standards of citizens. Increased life quality aside, economic progression
could go a long way towards addressing pressing social issues such as crime and unemployment,
which is instrumental in turning poverty-stricken countries into more livable and affluent ones.
However, there exist other ways to cope with poverty and hunger.
In particular, education and healthcare could provide a more educated and physically adequate
workforce to elevate a nation out of poverty.

Thân bài 2 – Tác động tiêu cực đến môi trường:

The aforementioned benefits notwithstanding, the rapid development of the economic situation
could inevitably do the environment a disservice.
In fact, manufacturing and transportation activities have been releasing a staggering amount of
carbon emissions and effluents, triggering serious air and water contamination.
Regardless, instead of curbing economic growth, the government can impose more stringent
punishments on individuals and organizations that are advertently doing harm to the
environment. For example, in South Korea, the state has administered more stringent
punishments on factories and plants that deliberately discharge an excessive amount of harmful
chemicals into the air and water sources, resulting in improved environmental quality in this
nation.

Kết luận:
In conclusion, growing the economy is not the only way to address pressing issues like poverty
and starvation as educational and healthcare support are also critical.
The government should develop the economy in a more sustainable way that could effectively
safeguard the environment rather than halting it.

Case 2

+Fact(trend/development)

+Discuss both sides(negative/positive side) and give your opinion

+Do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages

Question: some people think that good health is a basic human need, so medical services should
not be run by profit-making companies. Do the advantage sof private healthcare outweigh the
disadvantages

=> Solution: I think the disadvanatges> advantages

Body 1: some people>advantages

Body 2: However, I think>more disadvantages

Step 2: Paraphrasing

good health = Well-being = Wellness = Robustness = Vitality = Healthiness

a basic human need = Fundamental human requirement = Essential human necessity = Core
human prerequisite = Primary human demand = Indispensable human essential = Inherent human
necessity

medical services should not be run by profit-making companies =

Private healthcare = Privatized healthcare = Non-governmental healthcare = Commercial
healthcare = Non-public healthcare = For-profit healthcare = Non-state healthcare

Mở bài:
Good physical well-being is considered a fundamental human necessity, so it is suggested that
healthcare services should not be run by non-governmental companies. While there are notable
advantages to private healthcare, I contend that the disadvantages seem to outweigh these
benefits.

Thân bài 1 – Lợi ích của private (non-public) healthcare:

On the one hand, the non-public healthcare system renders several favorable implications.
Firstly, private healthcare is often associated with higher levels of innovation and efficiency. The
profit-driven nature of these institutions encourages the development of cutting-edge treatments
and technologies. Secondly, private healthcare facilities tend to go the extra mile in terms of
patient comfort and experience. This includes amenities like private rooms, personalized care
plans, reduced waiting times and complementary therapies. These additional services can
significantly enhance the overall patient experience.

Thân bài 2 – Bất lợi của private healthcare:

However, I believe that the downsides of the non-state healthcare system eclipse the above-
mentioned benefits. The most prominent drawback of private healthcare is the significant cost
associated with it. High premiums, out-of-pocket expenses, and the overall expense of treatments
can be prohibitive for a large section of the population. This exacerbates existing healthcare
disparities as those with higher incomes receive superior care compared to those with limited
resources. Moreover, profit-making companies may sometimes prioritize financial gains over the
well-being of patients. This can lead to situations where unnecessary procedures or treatments
are recommended, solely for financial gain. This profit-oriented approach can potentially
compromise the ethical standards of healthcare.

Kết luận:
In conclusion, while private healthcare brings commendable advantages in terms of innovation
and additional services, I opine that its drawbacks are substantial. The formidable cost barriers
and the potential for profit-driven motives to override patient welfare are significant concerns.

Question (21/10/2023)

Many students find it harder to study when they are at university or college than when
they were at school.
Why is this? What can be done to solve the problem?

(CHỈ TẬP TRUNG VÀO KHÍA CẠNH HỌC TẬP-> ĐỪNG LAN MAN SANG KIỂU XA
NHÀ, NHỚ PARENTS NÀY KIA..)

Step 2: Paraphrasing

find it harder to do something= to find something challenging= to struggle with something / to

struggle to do something= to face / encounter challenges / difficulties to do something= to hinder
/ hamper something

they are at university or college= tertiary education= higher education

SAMPLE:In recent years, the transition from grade school to university or college has presented
students with heightened academic challenges. This essay will explore the reasons behind the
increased complexity of study at the higher education level compared to school and discuss
potential solutions to alleviate this challenge.

Thân bài 1 – Nguyên nhân:

Difficulties when transitioning from upper-secondary to tertiary education can be attributed
to several key factors. The first culprit is the intensified academic demands at university or
[Link] the more generalized curriculum at school, higher education delves deeper into
specialized areas, necessitating a heavier [Link], changes in the learning
environment, such as larger class sizes and reduced one-on-one interaction with lecturers,
further hinder the learning process. This shift places a greater onus on students to possess
essential skills like self-discipline and time management, and for those lacking these skills, it can
result in poor academic performance.

Thân bài 2 – Giải pháp:

To address the challenges faced by students in higher education, universities and colleges should
take several measures. Firstly, implementing comprehensive orientation programs can be
crucial. These programs should focus on equipping students with vital skills, such as time
management, effective study strategies, research methods, and academic writing.
Secondly, universities should foster a supportive learning environment. Small group discussions,
peer tutoring, and faculty office hours can provide students with opportunities for personalized
assistance.
Also, creating clubs or forums that encourage students to connect and share their academic
difficulties can increase a sense of community and collective problem-solving.

Kết luận:
In conclusion, the challenges encountered by students in higher education result from elements
such as increased academic demands and a distinct learning atmosphere. To tackle this issue,
educational institutions should prioritize comprehensive orientation initiatives and cultivate an
environment that supports learning.
