📝 Structure 1: Để đạt mục tiêu A, cần làm điều gì

1. In order to tackle the problem of lack of focus of students, schools should

not allow them to use smartphones.
Tackling the problem of lack of focus of students may require a ban on the use of
smartphones at school.
Improving the attention span of students, which have been effectively shortened
recently, may require a widespread ban on the use of smartphones at school.
Due to the ability of smartphones to instill a lot of mental stimuli at the same time,
the attention span of students could only be improved once a complete ban on
smartphones is established at school.
2. In order to decrease the population sizes of urban areas, we must create
more jobs in rural or remote areas.
Decreasing the population sizes of urban areas could be accomplished effectively if
more employment opportunities are made available for people in rural or remote
areas.
A reduction in urban areas’ population sizes could be achieved if more jobs are
made available for people who live in rural or remote areas.
Given cities attract a lot of people who migrate there for job opportunities, a
reduction in their population sizes could only be accomplished once the job
markets in rural and remote areas become more dynamic.
3. In order to improve the quality of healthcare for senior individuals,
accessibility to insurance must be enhanced.
Improving the quality of healthcare for senior individuals would necessitate an
enhancement in accessibility to insurance.
4. In order to create a perfect world, we must have better healthcare and
improve accessibility to it.
Creating a perfect world would necessitate improvements in healthcare as well as
accessibility to it.
Improving our world from its current state or perfecting it would require
prominent changes in our healthcare system and giving better accessibility to
ordinary individuals.
 5. In order to create a perfect world, we must decrease the crime rate.
Creating a perfect version of our world would necessitate a reduction in the
current crime rate.
Given the destructiveness of high crime rates in the social welfare of human beings,
perfecting our world would inevitably require a massive reduction in crime rate
around the world.
6. In order to alleviate traffic jams, we should ban motorbikes.
Alleviating traffic jams could be achieved if a ban on motorbikes is widely
established and adopted.
Given the massive number of motorbikes on our streets and how dangerous
travelling on them could be, alleviating traffic jams and protecting travellers’ safety
could be concurrently achieved under a total restriction on the use of this
particular vehicle.
7. In order to control your weight, you must exercise.
Controlling a person’s weight would require regular exercises.
Given the impact of physical exercises on burning excessive calories and
preventing weight gain, weight control inevitably requires enough time allocation
for these activities.
8. In order to protect the environment, we must ban plastic bottles.
Protecting the environment could be achieved if a ban on plastic bottles is
established.
Given how persistent and enduring plastic bottles are, the protection of our
environment could only be achieved under a total ban of these temporary
containers.
Plastic bottles, with the nature of being extremely resilient against any
environmental damage, could exist for thousands of years, polluting the
environment and endangering many species. Given these detrimental
characteristics, the goal of protecting and preserving the environment could only
be achieved if a total ban on these temporary containers is established widely
around the world.
9. In order to reduce the rate of traffic accidents, cars must be banned.
Reducing the rate of traffic accidents could be achieved if cars are banned around
the world.
Given the high accident rates caused by car users due to their high maximum
speed, a reduction in accident rate could be achieved if these dangerous vehicles
are no longer used around the world.
Cars, while being used widely due to their convenience and high maximum speed,
could simultaneously increase accident rates as collisions with them occur
frequently and often lead to devastating consequences. As a result, a complete ban
on these problematic vehicles should be established or else accident rates would
continue its increasing trajectory.
10. In order to help students focus better, smartphones should not be used at
school.
Helping students focus better could be achieved if smartphones are not allowed in
school.
[Antithesis-thesis] Given the ability of smartphones to instill mental distractions,
students’ attention span could only be lengthened if these distractive portable
devices are no longer used widely at school.
Smartphones, while helping people access information around the world and
connect with others effortlessly, could simultaneously be a highly distractive device
as they provide overloaded mental stimuli. As a result, enhancing students’
attention span could only be achieved if these devices of potential negative
implications could be banned completely.

📝 Structure 2: Pro & Con

1. Although many medical breakthroughs have revolutionised healthcare,
many people still do not have access to them.
Medical breakthroughs, while transcending the landscape of healthcare for the
better, still have restrictive boundaries that prevent people’s general accessibility to
them.
2. Social media can distract people. However, it can still help us connect with
others.
Social media, while providing unprecedented comfort in communication, can
simultaneously distract people by providing them with too much mental stimuli
from the external world.
3. Social media can help us make more friends. However, they may make our
relationships more superficial.
Social media, while helping people increase the size of their social circles, may add
a degree of superficiality to our relationships.
Given the ability of social media platforms to help users communicate with anyone
across the globe, they can definitely enlarge our social circles and increase the
number of relationships, yet a degree of superficiality may be added to our bonds
as our mental attention dilutes.
4. Smartphones can help us entertain effectively. However, they can lead to
lack of focus.
Smartphones, while elevating entertainment experiences, could simultaneously
lead to a decrease in our attention span.
Smartphones, while assisting individuals in entertainment, could simultaneously
disrupt our concentration. (Given that the ability of smartphones is to entertain
people, yet they could cause distraction.)
Given the ability of smartphones to give access to a wealth of information online,
they can be ideal devices to provide entertainment features, yet their attractiveness
could keep our attention on trivial matters, distracting us from important matters
in our lives.
5. Smartphones may help us have better entertainment. However, they can
lead to addiction.
Smartphones, while helping us with novel entertainment features, can
simultaneously lead to addiction.
Smartphones, while helping us with novel entertainment features, can provide too
many mental stimuli that keep users in an extensive hook, constituting the
manifestation of addiction.
6. Doing physical exercises could help improve our fitness. However, it can
also lead to injuries.
Doing physical exercises, while helping improve our fitness, could lead to injuries
once over-exertion occurs.
Given that our physical capabilities are limited to an extent, doing physical
exercises, while helping improve our fitness, can lead to injuries if over-exertion
occurs.
Physical exercises, similarly to many other activities of human beings, are a double-
sworded aspect as they can be beneficial yet posing some drawbacks under specific
conditions. With the physical constraints that every individual experiences, pushing
our bodies through intensive exercises could improve our endurance and stamina.
Nevertheless, once overexertion occurs and our body fails to sustain the pressure,
severe injuries could happen, which detrimentally interrupts our daily lives.
7. Social media, while helping us enlarge our social circles, can
simultaneously add a superficial quality to our bonds as our mental
capacity is further divided and diluted.
Social media, while having an enlargement effect on its users’ social circles, can
simultaneously add a degree of superficiality to their bonds as their attention
assigned on each bond becomes further diluted.
Given the ability of social media to grant universal access to almost every individual
on a global scale, it has a massive enlargement effect on users’ social circles, yet
posing a risk of diluting their attention and making their bond superficial.
8. Living in apartments could help people save costs. However, they can have
problems with privacy.
Living in apartments, while providing a type of affordable accommodation, could
simultaneously put residents at a risk of compromised privacy.
The sharing nature of apartments is behind its benefits as well as its drawbacks.
These types of accommodation, while providing an affordable housing option for
many individuals, can simultaneously compromise people’s privacy.
9. Social media can help people connect with each other. However, it can lead
to invasion of privacy.
Social media, while helping people connect with each other effortlessly, can
simultaneously put users under the risk of having their personal data leaked and
used illegally.
As social media connects people across the planet using their personal information,
it can broaden our social circles, yet putting users’ highly private content under the
risk of being leaked.
10. Social media can help users have more friends. However, it can make our
relationships superficial.
Social media, while helping us expand our social circles, can add a superficial
quality to many people’s relationships.
Social media, amidst their positive implications of our expanded social circles, may
simultaneously dilute our mental capabilities, leading to superficial relationships
with even the closest individuals in people’s lives.
11. Eating sugary food could alleviate stress. However, it can lead to weight
gain.
Eating sugary food, while having a positive impact on stress alleviation, could
simultaneously lead to weight gain.
Sugary food consumption, while temporarily alleviating our stress due to improved
satisfaction, can simultaneously lead to many health concerns, including a high
potential for weight gain.
12. Smartphones cause distractions, so they must be banned.
Smartphones, while helping students access the internet easily, could
simultaneously cause distractions as students may use them during classes for their
private matters. As a result, banning them could be beneficial, helping students
concentrate more on learning.
13. Smartphones should be allowed because they help students learn better.
Given the positive impacts of smartphones on the ability of students to gather more
information for their lessons, schools should allow these useful devices, which can
eventually improve students’ learning outcomes.
Smartphones, while providing access to information, can be a distractive tool if
students use them incorrectly, and can simultaneously be beneficial if surfing on
the internet for extra knowledge is the primary goal. As a result, using them in
appropriate circumstances at school under the supervision of teachers could
maximise their potential.
14. As people exercise too little, they start gaining weight.
Given how limited the frequency of exercising of modern individuals has become,
the potential for weight gain has become more prominent.
It is of paramount importance that people must exercise regularly to avoid weight
gain, as these activities burn a lot of calories. Nevertheless, our lives have become
burdened with a lot of modern tasks and obligations, making it very hard to assign
enough time for physical exercises. As a result, people’s weight starts
uncontrollably increasing, eventually leading to obesity.
Modern work and study environments, while giving people more financial rewards
and opportunities to progress, may simultaneously restrict the available time that
people have for physical exercises. Given how important these activities have on
weight control, a lack of them could directly cause the accumulation of excessive
calories, leading to weight gain and eventually obesity.

The aim of any school is to provide a comprehensive teaching of all necessary skills,
including theoretical and practical ones. Although schools are highly skilled at
teaching theoretical knowledge, they lack an environment that can provide children
with real-life interactions. As working for communal projects requires a lot of
interactions with many people, children can develop pragmatic approaches to
issues in their lives, strengthening a major weakness that they may have at school.

increased. The reason is that the sizes of cars are often large, and they
often do not use their maximum capacities.
Having too many cars on the street could increase the chance of traffic jams due to
their large sizes and the under-maximum-capacity usage of seats.
Cars, with their large sizes and the under-maximum-capacity usage of seats, can
lead to traffic jams if too many of them are present on the street at the same time.
The overreliance on cars, universally having larger sizes and transporting limited
