tips below and add one tip of your own.
1. Don’t skip sleep.
2. Add nuts to your diet.

4. Your own ideas
=>GỢI Ý: Tips for a Longer and Healthier Life
Everyone wants to live a long and healthy life, and the good news is that small daily habits can make a big
difference. First of all, don’t skip sleep. Getting enough rest helps your body recover, reduces stress, and improves
your mood. For example, sleeping 7–8 hours every night can make you feel more energetic and focused the next
day. Besides, you should add nuts to your diet. Nuts like almonds and walnuts are rich in protein and healthy fats
that protect your heart and brain. Moreover, remember to stay active. Doing exercises such as jogging, cycling, or
even walking for 30 minutes a day keeps your body strong and flexible. Finally, try to stay positive. Smiling more
and spending time with supportive friends can reduce stress and make life happier. In short, healthy habits lead to
a longer and more fulfilling life.

GỢI Ý : Living with Extended Family Helps Bridge the Generation Gap
I agree that living with an extended family helps bridge the generation gap. First, family members can share
ideas, values, and experiences with one another every day. For instance, grandparents can teach life lessons,
while young people can show them how to use new technology. Moreover, living together helps different
generations understand and respect their differences. Although some disagreements may happen, they also
give family members a chance to communicate better. In short, living with extended family strengthens bonds
and promotes mutual understanding.

Writing an Opinion Essay
Topic: Limiting teenagers’ screen time. Use the outline below.
Introduction: ..............................................................
First of all, ..............................................................
In addition, ..............................................................
In conclusion, ..............................................................
GỢI Ý : Limiting Teenagers’ Screen Time
Nowadays, many teenagers spend too much time on their phones and computers, so I believe limiting their screen
time is very important. First of all, spending too long in front of screens can harm their health. For example, it can
cause eye strain, poor sleep, and even obesity because they sit too much. In addition, too much screen time can
reduce face-to-face communication and make teenagers less focused on studying. Limiting screen use encourages
them to join outdoor activities and build real friendships. In conclusion, controlling teenagers’ screen time helps
protect their health, improve their learning, and create a more balanced lifestyle.
In about 85-120 words, write an paragraph about the advantages and disadvantages of living in an
extended family.

“Living in such a family has both advantages and disadvantages.”
II. THÂN BÀI
[Link] (Ưu điểm)
- Support and care:
o Firstly, one of the biggest advantages is the emotional and practical support family members give
each other.
o For example, grandparents can take care of the children while parents are at work.
o This helps save money and strengthens family bonds.
- Learning and sharing experience:
o Moreover, living with older people allows the young to learn valuable lessons and traditions.
o For instance, grandparents can teach children about family history and cultural values.
2. Disadvantages
- Lack of privacy:
o However, one major disadvantage is the lack of privacy.
o With many people living in the same house, it is difficult to have personal space or private time.
- Generation gap & conflicts:
o In addition, there may be conflicts because of differences in opinions and lifestyles between
generations.
o For example, young people may prefer modern ways of living, while the elderly stick to
traditional rules.
3. KẾT BÀI
“In conclusion, living in an extended family has both advantages and disadvantages.”
“Personally, I think it is a good idea if family members respect and understand each other.”

Advantages of roof gardens:

=> GỢI Ý : The Advantages of Roof Gardens
Roof gardens bring many benefits to both people and the environment. First of all, they help improve air quality
by absorbing carbon dioxide and producing more oxygen. For example, in big cities, roof gardens can reduce air
pollution and make the atmosphere fresher. Besides, they create habitats for birds, butterflies, and other small
animals, helping to protect urban biodiversity. Finally, roof gardens allow people to interact and connect with
nature, even in crowded cities. In short, roof gardens make our lives greener, healthier, and more relaxing.

ideas below to help you.
Advantages Disadvantages
- improving air quality - being expensive

GỢI Ý : The Advantages and Disadvantages of Roof Gardens in the City
Roof gardens are becoming more popular in modern cities because they offer both benefits and challenges. On
the one hand, they help improve air quality by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. They also
create habitats for birds and insects, and allow people to relax and connect with nature. For example, many
buildings in Singapore use roof gardens to make the city greener. On the other hand, roof gardens can be
expensive to build and maintain. They also increase the weight on the building’s structure and can be difficult
to repair. In conclusion, although roof gardens have some disadvantages, their environmental and health
benefits make them a valuable addition to city life.
