CONNECT IDEAS:
There are some beneficial effects of studying in together with others
1. Firstly, in a group study, there are lots of people which different abilities and knowledge, so they
can help each other improve their weaknesses. For example, when learning English in groups, I
can help my friends to correct their grammar mistakes. Otherwise, students who study alone
may not receive support and feedback from anyone.
2. Secondly, because group members have to discuss and solve problems together, students who
learn in groups can improve their teamwork skills. For instance, when doing group
presentations, group members need to divide tasks for each student. This helps them have to
benefit from their future career.
CONCLUSION:

TOPIC 7:
(+) The local people make money from travellers
Ex: The increase of travellers -> tourism services will develop -> creating employment and wealth for
local people -> higher living standard
(+) globalization
Ex: When tourist travels to isolated, they had participated in traditional pursuits -> promoted local
culture -> make the culture more widely known
(-) The environment can be damaged by some travellers
Ex: Having some travelers who lack common sense -> littering -> environmental pollution -> ecosystem
have changed
(-)
These days, it is easier for people to travel to remote areas. This can have positive and
negative effects.
Many positive effects can be gained from travelling to remote regions. Firstly, the
traveller can gain a deeper understanding of the cultures and customs of the regions
they are visiting. This could help them become more open-minded. Secondly, because
of the development of tourism, more job opportunities such as selling souvenirs and tour
guides can be created for the locals. This is the opportunity for the locals to earn more
money from tourists and improve their standard of living.
On the other hand, this trend can bring certain negative implications. Firstly, the
environment can be damaged by some travellers. For example, an influx of tourists,
who lack cultural and environmental awareness, usually litter everywhere. As the result,
changing the ecosystem and causing annoyance to local people. Furthermore, when
cultural values are assimilated, the culture can be exchanged. This made losing their
cultural distinction.
In conclusion, the increasing number of people travelling to remote areas can be
beneficial, but it also has several drawbacks.
In the developed world, average life expectancy is increasing. What problems will
this cause for individuals and society? Suggest some measures that could be taken to
reduce the impact of ageing populations.
Nowadays, many issues are created by the increase of average life span, which may have effects on
personal or communities, especially in developed countries. The population age can result in many
issues, which call for possible solutions to be adopted.
The ageing of populations can lead to several problems. Firstly, it is difficult for the economy to develop
strongly because the working-age population will significantly reduce in the future. For instance, many
companies in developed countries such as America and Japan have to hire employees abroad to work,
which can cause the decline of the industries. Secondly, as age increases, the percentage of elderly
people with poor health will rise. As a result, the government must spend a large amount of money to
help cure diseases This has weighed on social welfare costs and severely damaged the economy
There are several measures that can be adopted regarding this issue. Firstly, the government needs to
give suitable solutions for the retirement of the employees. For example, instead of retiring, healthy and
energetic old people can subscribe to return to work in familiar positions, which they used to do, this
might lead to losing the pressure on the well-being of society. Secondly, young people can be supported
by the government when they have two to three children. If many families have lots of children, the
young population might be increasing, and the issues of the ageing population will be resolved.
In conclusion, population ageing can lead to several problems and several actions can be taken to
address this issue.
Some people think that newly built houses should follow the style of the old houses in
the local areas, while others think that people should have the freedom to build
houses of their styles. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
People have many different views about the style of the new houses. While some who support the
house should be built like the old house in their local places, I firmly believe that it is better when
individuals ought to have the opportunity to creative freedom about the style of their house.
On the one hand, there are several reasons why people tend to argue that recently built houses ought
to take after the characteristics of the ancient houses within their regions. Firstly, areas, where
there are many old buildings, can turn this into an attractive tourist destination. Hoi An - an ancient
town, that has many houses with classical architecture from the 17th century, for example, has
attracted thousands and become one of the places attracting the most tourists in Vietnam. It can help
the local people improve their standard of living.
On the other hand, I am more convinced that everyone should be able to create a distinct style for their
house. Firstly, some people might dislike when living in an ancient house. For instance, these houses
usually do not have modern technologies such as air-conditioning, which might make teenagers who
were born and live in the digital world feel uncomfortable. Furthermore, being allowed to decide the
way their own house will be built helps people can balance their house construction costs by self-
chosen. Because building an old house always requires skilled workers it makes the construction cost
extremely high.
In conclusion, despite acknowledging why people think the house ought to be built just like the
traditional house, I hold the belief that individuals should be allowed to choose the way was built for
their houses.
(Firstly, the old house usually has enormous spaces such as gardens and playgrounds for the activity of
life. It might make the children in these houses can have beautiful childhood memories of spending a lot
of time playing together in the garden and people in these families can have a better relationship.)
Too much emphasis is placed on going to university for academic study. People should be encouraged
to do vocational training because there is a lack of qualified tradespeople such as electricians or
plumbers. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It is true that education is the most vital part of our life, however, people usually focus on learning to go
to academic study at university rather than vocational training while both are necessary. I agree that
people should be encouraged to choose vocationally instruction, but I do not think that academic
training is not important.
On the one hand, I would agree that people should increase their educational qualifications at the
academy. Firstly, we must be academically trained for special professions such as doctors and lawyers at
university. People will not be able to become a doctor if they do not have qualifications which leads to
people who want to be a doctor usually choosing to study in an academic environment. Secondly,
several companies also ask about a college degree when applying for any job today. Students can have a
higher salary job and get work easier because they acquired professional knowledge for a particular type
of work when they go to university.
On the other hand, I also think that people should be encouraged to do vocational training. Firstly, the
time of a course of education vocational usually shorter than a course in an ordinary college or
university. For example, an electric vocational takes 2 years while we need less than 6 years to complete
a medical course. Secondly, vocational education teaches students about self-employment and
increases their skills. If students do not want to learn vocationally instruction, the lacking qualified
workers could happen in some countries. This leads to qualified tradespeople such as electricians or
plumbers.
In conclusion, while academic education seems to be more valued, I believe that vocational training also
helps people to acquire knowledge and create a stable income for life in the same way.
1.1/ In 1979, the amount of beef consumed was highest, at more than 200 grams per person per week,
while the figure for fish was significantly lower, at over 50 grams. At the same time, there were 150
grams and nearly 150 grams eaten lamb and beef by each individual in a week respectively.
1.2/ From 1979 to 2004, there was a rise of 140 grams to 250 grams in the weekly consumption of
chicken, making it the most popular type of meat. Meanwhile, the amount of lamb that Europeans eat
per week decreased by about 150 grams to around 70 grams. By contrast, the consumption of beef
dropped by about 100 grams while the figure for fish remained stable at 50 grams for each person.
2.1/ In 1940, the percentage of people over 65 years old in the US was highest, at around 10% while the
figure for Japan was slightly lower, at 5%. At the same time, more than 7% of Sweden’s population was
over 65 years old.
2.2/ In 2040, Japan is expected to witness a dramatic increase of 5% to over 28% in the population over
65 years old. The figure for the USA is projected to a slight rise of about 10% to nearly 25% while the
proportion of Sweden people between 65 and over is likely to stand at around 23%.
3.1/ In 1981, the number of teacher salaries in the UK’s schools was highest, at 40% while the figure for
insurance was significantly lower, at 2%. Meanwhile, 28% of the total school budget was spent on other
workers’ salaries, compared to 15% on resources and furniture respectively.
3.2/ From 1981 to 1991, the salary of teachers rose by 40% to almost 50% of the total school spending.
By contrast, the figure for insurance experienced a slow decrease of 3% while the annual payment for
resources was a slight increase, at 20%. There was a dramatic drop of 28% to 22 % and 15% to 5% for
other workers’ salaries and furniture, equipment respectively.
Some people say patriotism causes problems and is negative overall. Others feel that
it is beneficial for society at large. Do the advantages of patriotism outweigh its
disadvantages?
People have different views about the effects of patriotism on the community. Although doing this has
several drawbacks, its advantages of it are far more significant.
On the one hand, several disadvantages can be gained from loyalty. Firstly, they can bring serious
drawbacks such as war for their countries. For example, World War II started due to the fact of
patriotism. People in Germany believed that they were the strongest people in the world, and they
decided to start the world war. Secondly, people who put on their love heavily could do whatever to
protect their country and they might think that it is not necessary when having access to other cultures
and exchanging them. As a result, the development of the tourist is inhibited. Although this issue is slit
significant, it can be easily solved by the government. It can be done through the establishment of
proper patriotism education programs.
Nevertheless, people who love their countries can have several upsides which outweigh these negative
impacts. First, the patriots can bring lots of knowledge from other developed countries when they go
abroad to study. If overseas students with no patriotism, all of them will choose to stay in the country
where they are learning, and the countries should be faced with a brain drain. Furthermore, history has
proven that many wars have been extinguished by patriotic people in the world. For instance, with
patriotism - 54 people in Viet Nam have gone together to protect their countries from many mighty
empires such as France and China.
In conclusion, despite the disadvantages that patriotism can bring, it still does better than good.

The given pie chart gives information about the percentage of the average money that people spent on
the household in the two years 1950 and 2010 in the country.
The percentage of money for health care in household expenditures was by far the lowest during the
research period. Additionally, the proportion of housing payments experienced the most dramatic
change.
In 1950, there were 11,2% and 3,3% of household expenditures used for food and transportation,
respectively. At the same time, the percentage of housing payments was highest, at 72,1%, while the
figure for health care was significantly lower, at 2,4%. Meanwhile, 6,6% of the money is spent on
education.
In 2010, food spending witnessed a remarkable rise from 11,2% to 34,0%, while the figure for housing
significantly decreased from 72,1% to 22,0%. In contrast, there was a slight drop of 6,6% to 6,3% in
education expenses. At the same time, the percentage of transportation payments experienced a
dramatic increase of 3,3% to 14,0%, whereas healthcare spending was a slight rise from 2,4% to 4,5%.

The given line chart illustrates how many tonnes of the commodity are linked motion by various ways of
transport in the UK from 1974 to 2002.
Overall, the numbers of goods transported by road, water, rail, and pipeline all increased during the
research period. Additionally, the figure for the road was by far the highest in these years.
In 1974, the number of commodities tonnes transported by road was highest, at over 70 million tonnes,
while the figure for the pipeline was significantly lower, at around 4 million tonnes. At the same time,
there were nearly 38 million and 40 million tonnes of goods using rail and water respectively.
Between 1974 and 2002, there was a rise of 70 million to nearly 100 million tonnes of commodity
imparted by road, making it the most popular mode of transport. Meanwhile, the number of goods
tonnes by water experienced a dramatic increase of over 38 million to 65 million. At the same time, the
transported by rail remained fairly stable at 40 million tonnes.

The line graph illustrates how many commuters use public transport such as bus, car,
and train daily in the UK from 1970 to 2030.
Overall, the number of commuters using the car was by far the highest during the
research period. Additionally, travel by bus decreases while the figure for car and bus all
increases between 1970 and 2030.
In 1970, the number of workers travelling by car was highest, at around 5 million while
the figure for the train was significantly lower, at over 2 million. At the same time, there
were 4 million commuter bus users each day in the UK.
Between 1970 and 2030, the car users daily are predicted to witness a remarkable rise
from 5 million to 9 million, while the number of commuters using the bus is projected to
drop from approximately 1 million to 3 million. Meanwhile, train users are expected to
grow to nearly 6 million.
Nowadays, many people choose to be self-employed, rather than work for a
company or organization. Why might this be the case? Is it a positive or negative
development?
It is true that people are more likely to work for themselves than become an employee in a
company or organization. This happens due to some reasons, and I believe it is a positive trend.
There are several factors responsible for people who tend to start up. Firstly, working in a
company or organization makes some people feel uncomfortable. They are usually facing many
arguments from others, working together with them. As a result, some should spend more time
dealing with these arguments rather than doing employment, this leads to people feeling bored
and they might decide to open a company for themselves. Secondly, people were not paid
enough for these jobs, so they decided to start their businesses. For example, a self-employed
person tends to earn a higher salary than individuals who perform the same work in other
organizations.
Being self-employed can be positive for the development of the country. Firstly, people who
choose the open company for themselves can be independent in their work. They can work
wherever, whenever they want. Their parents will relieve some of the pressure. If they earn a lot
of money, they will care for their parents better. Furthermore, a large revenue source means they
will have to pay a high amount of tax to the government. As a result, the country will have more
conditions for improvement and development. For example, the USA has become one of the
most developed economies in the world by encouraging people to start their businesses.
In conclusion, choosing to be self-employed results in some reasons, I still argue that this
development is positive.
The given diagram illustrates the process of making leather goods.
The process of producing leather goods includes eleven stages. The first step of the process is
drying animal skin, and the final step is creating various goods of leather products.
In the first stage, animal skin is hung on a rope and dried by the heat of the sun. The process
continues with the truck moving this dried skin to the factory where it is washed in the water and
lime mixture. Subsequently, the skin is soaked in lime and is brought into a machine to flatten.
In the following step, the animal skin is again soaked into the tannin which is the mixture of
water and vegetable matter. The next step is polishing it with a machine, and it is transported to a
factory by a lorry. The process concludes with making different kinds of goods leather such as
shoes, bags, and balls.
Maintaining public libraries is a waste of money since there is
computer technology. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Some people believe that traditional public libraries are not necessary, and it is a waste of money
because there is already a digital library. I completely disagree with this view.
There are many reasons why people think maintaining traditional libraries is not necessary.
Firstly, because of the development of digital technology, we can have lots of information thanks
to a computer. For example, teenagers tend to search in Google, the most used search engine on
the Internet, when having a hard question in homework, instead of going to the public libraries
and looking for their answer. This leads to these libraries will not have the user soon. Secondly,
there are many books in a public library, and it does not incapability to find a book quickly.
People usually spend at least 15 minutes finding an enjoyable book for themselves, but computer
technology can be done in one minute.
However, I think that several benefits can be gained from public libraries. Firstly, there are many
resources with false information on the internet, so we usually face the choice between correct
and incorrect information. For example, people usually choose to translate in gooledich, but
sometimes it is not correct due to having a lot of specialized words. Instead, the public libraries
always provide readers with correct answers. Furthermore, there are various values cultural and
traditional, which are saved in the book. Without these books, we would have lost a large amount
of knowledge that has been preserved from the past to the present
In conclusion, I do not believe that it is not worth the money to keep up public libraries.
The given maps illustrate the development of Youngsville in New Zealand between 1980 and
2005.
It is clear from the maps that the most significant change being happened in Youngsville was the
construction of more factories on the southwest side of Youngsville. Additionally, houses and
trees on the east side had completely disappeared by 2005.
In 1980, there were many trees to the north of the river, but those trees were demolished in 2005
to make way for parks and other sports. Houses and trees in the southwest of Youngsville were
also destroyed and replaced by four factories and a warehouse, while the airport and park in the
southwest remained.
On the east side of Youngsville, skyscrapers and warehouses were built in the south and the
railway was lengthened. Meanwhile, houses in the north were demolished and were replaced by
a large stadium and a park. A new Marina was constructed to the north of the railway station.
