Writing task 1
Process ( cheese production)
The diagram illustrates the process of producing soft cheese from milk and water through several stages involving temperature control and transformation.
Overall, the procedure consists of five main stages, beginning with mixing the raw ingredients and ending with cooling the final product. Notably, the mixture gradually changes from a liquid into a thicker substance through fermentation and evaporation.
With regard to the initial stages, milk and water are first combined in a mixing tank. This mixture is then cooled at a temperature of 5°C for two hours. Following this, salt is added before the substance undergoes fermentation, during which it is kept at 37°C for six hours. This stage is crucial as it allows the mixture to thicken and develop its characteristic texture.
In terms of the later stages, the semi-solid mixture is subjected to evaporation at a much higher temperature of 100°C for eight hours, during which excess moisture is removed in the form of steam. Afterward, the product passes through a filter to eliminate waste water. Finally, the cheese is cooled again at 5°C for eight hours, resulting in the finished soft cheese ready for consumption.

Map ( Huntingdon transformatio)
The maps illustrate the current layout of Huntingdon and the proposed changes in the future.
Overall, the town is expected to undergo significant redevelopment, particularly in terms of road infrastructure and land use. Notably, a new roundabout will be constructed, the airfield will be replaced by an industrial estate, and the built-up area will expand considerably.
With regard to the present layout, Huntingdon features an airfield located to the northwest, adjacent to the A1 road. A curved road connects this area to Brampton Road, which leads towards the town centre in the southeast. The railway station is situated south of Brampton Road, while a ring road surrounds the town centre. Additionally, a relatively small built-up area lies to the east of the main road.
In terms of the future developments, the airfield will be converted into an industrial estate, indicating a shift towards economic activity. The road system will be upgraded with the addition of a roundabout at the junction near Brampton Road, improving traffic flow. Furthermore, the built-up area will be substantially expanded, occupying a much larger area to the east. While the railway station and ring road will remain largely unchanged, the overall layout will become more urbanised and better connected.

Static ( potatoes - 2006)
The tables illustrate the consumption and production of potatoes across five regions worldwide in 2006.
Overall, Europe recorded the highest level of potato consumption per capita, whereas Asia/Oceania was the largest producer. Interestingly, there is no clear correlation between consumption levels and production output across the regions.
With regard to consumption, Europe ranked first, with 96.1 kg per person, which was substantially higher than all other regions. North America followed at 57.9 kg, while Asia/Oceania and South and Central America consumed significantly lower amounts, at 25.8 kg and 23.6 kg respectively. Africa recorded the lowest figure, at just 14.1 kg per person, highlighting relatively limited demand in this region.
In terms of production, Asia/Oceania led the world, producing 131.2 million tonnes, closely followed by Europe at 126.3 million tonnes. By contrast, North America’s output was much lower, at 24.7 million tonnes. Africa and South and Central America produced the least, with 16.4 million and 15.6 million tonnes respectively. This demonstrates a clear disparity between regions in terms of output, which does not necessarily mirror consumption patterns.

Process ( olive oil production)
The diagram illustrates the process of producing olive oil, from harvesting olives to distributing the final product to stores.

Overall, the procedure is a linear, multi-stage process that involves both mechanical and physical treatments. It begins with collecting and storing olives and culminates in bottling and transportation, with key transformations occurring during crushing, pressing, and separation.

With regard to the initial stages, olives are first harvested from trees using a rake and then stored in a vat for approximately two to three days. Following this, they are thoroughly washed with cool water to remove impurities. The cleaned olives are subsequently crushed using a hammer in a machine, during which olive stones are separated and discarded. This stage results in the formation of olive paste, which serves as the primary input for the next phase.

In terms of the later stages, the olive paste undergoes pressing and filtering using a hydraulic press, enabling the extraction of liquid. This liquid is then transferred to a centrifuge, where it is spun rapidly to separate oil from water. After this crucial separation, the refined oil is bottled in containers. Finally, the bottled olive oil is transported to stores for distribution, marking the completion of the process.
Từ vựng nâng cao

Writing task 2
Outweigh ( fossil fuels)
Task 2: While fossil fuels are still the main source of energy for most countries, others have started to rely on renewable options such as wind and solar power. Is this an advantageous or disadvantageous trend?
Although fossil fuels remain the dominant energy source for most nations, an increasing number of countries are shifting towards renewables such as wind and solar. I contend that this trend is, on balance, advantageous, provided policy-makers address its technical and social challenges.
Primarily, renewables contribute directly to decarbonization and public-health gains. Replacing coal and oil with low-carbon alternatives reduces greenhouse-gas emissions and the long-term economic burden of climate impacts. Moreover, the sector stimulates job creation and industrial innovation, enabling energy diversification that enhances national security and reduces exposure to volatile fossil-fuel markets.
Nonetheless, the transition is not without difficulties. Wind and solar are inherently intermittent, so large-scale integration demands substantial investment in storage and grid upgrades, which can strain budgets—especially in developing economies. There is also a risk that benefits concentrate in wealthy regions unless distributional policies are implemented; poorly planned deployment could exacerbate inequality. Encouragingly, advances in battery technology and decentralization of generation can mitigate these problems, increasing grid resilience and making clean energy more ubiquitous across urban and rural areas.
In conclusion, the move towards renewables is broadly beneficial if governments couple ambition with realistic investment in infrastructure and fair policies; with those conditions met, advantages clearly outweigh drawbacks.

    Example: Decentralization of generation allows villages to access electricity without relying on a distant grid.
  • resilience → khả năng chịu đựng / phục hồi (hệ thống).
    Example: Microgrids improve the resilience of communities during extreme weather events.
  • ubiquitous → phổ biến khắp nơi, có mặt ở đâu cũng có.
    Example: Small rooftop panels are becoming ubiquitous in many suburban neighborhoods.
Agree/Disagree ( extreme sports)
Some people believe that extreme sports like skydiving and skiing are too dangerous and should therefore be prohibited. Do you agree or disagree with this belief
Some people argue that extreme sports such as skydiving and skiing are excessively dangerous and should be prohibited. I strongly disagree: while these activities carry risks, outright bans are unnecessary and counterproductive when risks can be mitigated by sensible regulation and education.
To begin with, forbidding extreme sports would deny individuals important opportunities for personal growth and resilience. Facing controlled risk fosters confidence, problem-solving and emotional stability—qualities that translate into everyday life and work. Moreover, these pursuits generate significant economic value through tourism and specialised employment; banning them would therefore inflict collateral damage on communities that rely on outdoor recreation.
That said, safety concerns are legitimate and demand robust responses rather than prohibition. Governments and operators can impose stringent licensing, mandatory safety briefings, and equipment standards to reduce accidents. Advances in technology—improved parachute design, avalanche forecasting, certified helmets—have already reduced severe incidents substantially when combined with trained supervision. Where activities are properly regulated, the incidence of catastrophic outcomes is low relative to the social and personal benefits involved.
In conclusion, extreme sports should not be banned; prudent regulation, education and technological improvements offer a balanced way to preserve both safety and individual freedom.Vocabulary (từ in đậm → nghĩa tiếng Việt + ví dụ tiếng Anh)

Why + Solutions ( buying food overseas)
In many parts of the world, a growing proportion of the population is buying food from overseas instead of locally sourced products. What explains this trend? What actions can be taken to motivate consumers to choose local food?
In many regions, an increasing share of consumers purchase food imported from abroad rather than locally produced goods. This essay explains the causes of that shift and argues that a mix of policy, market, and education measures can incentivize people to choose domestic food.
Several factors explain the trend. First, globalization and improved logistics make exotic or out-of-season products ubiquitous and often cheaper because of economies of scale enjoyed by large exporters. Second, modern lifestyles prize convenience and variety; supermarkets that stock foreign items cater to busy shoppers who value one-stop shopping. Third, aggressive marketing and perceived prestige associated with imported brands lead some consumers to equate foreign origin with higher quality or status, even when local alternatives are fresher.
To encourage local purchases, governments and businesses should act together. Public policy can provide temporary subsidies, tax breaks or procurement rules favouring local suppliers, while labeling and traceability schemes reassure buyers about origin and safety. Retailers can feature local produce through dedicated sections, year-round storage and e-commerce channels that match the convenience of imports. Educational campaigns highlighting environmental benefits, seasonal eating and the economic multiplier effect of buying local will shift preferences over time. Finally, support for local producers to improve packaging, cold chains and branding will make domestic products more competitive.
In short, imported food fills important gaps, but targeted interventions can make local food a practical and attractive choice for most consumers.

    Example: Spending on local food has a higher multiplier for regional employment.
Discuss both views low-cost air travel
Low-cost air travel has dramatically expanded in recent decades, enabling many people to fly who previously could not; while this democratisation of mobility brings clear social and economic benefits, it also imposes environmental costs that policymakers must address. I believe low-cost flights should be supported but regulated so that their benefits are retained while negative externalities are limited.
First, budget airlines democratize long-distance travel by improving accessibility for middle- and low-income households, stimulating tourism and cultural exchange. Cheaper fares expand markets for regional airports, create jobs and produce a significant economic multiplier in host communities. For many families, affordable flights make reunions and educational opportunities possible, and discount carriers often operate with higher load factors, which can mean lower emissions per passenger-kilometre compared with near-empty legacy flights.
Nevertheless, the environmental argument is compelling: aviation emissions contribute to climate change and local pollution, effects that are currently underpriced. Governments can introduce targeted measures — for example a modest carbon surcharge, investment in sustainable aviation fuels and research, and incentives for rail alternatives on short routes to encourage a modal shift. A well-designed frequent-flyer levy would discourage excessive travel by the affluent while protecting occasional travellers who benefit most.
In conclusion, promoting low-cost air travel is desirable for equity and economic reasons, provided it is paired with fair pricing of environmental costs and strategic investment in greener alternatives.
Vocabulary
  • supported → được ủng hộ, khuyến khích.
    Example: I supported the proposal to expand regional rail links.
  • externalities → tác động phụ (ngoài chi phí trực tiếp).
    Example: Pollution from factories creates negative externalities for nearby residents.
  • democratize → làm cho ai cũng có thể tiếp cận (phổ cập hoá).
    Example: Internet access has democratized information.
  • accessibility → khả năng tiếp cận.
    Example: Improved transport accessibility helped the town attract visitors.
  • multiplier → hệ số nhân (tác động kinh tế lan toả).
    Example: Tourism spending has a high multiplier for local jobs.
  • surcharge → phụ phí.
    Example: Airlines added a small surcharge for baggage handling.
  • modal shift → chuyển đổi phương thức (ví dụ từ máy bay sang tàu).
    Example: A reliable high-speed train encourages a modal shift away from short-haul flights.
  • affluent → giàu có, thượng lưu.
    Example: The affluent tend to fly more frequently for leisure.
Agree/ Disagree ( housing is basic human right?)
Housing is considered a basic human right, and some believe the government should provide free housing to all citizens who are unable to pay for it. Do you agree or disagree with this belief?
Housing is widely regarded as a basic human right, and some insist the state should provide free homes to everyone who cannot afford them. I partly disagree: while government intervention is essential to secure subsistence housing, universal free provision is unsustainable and prone to inefficiency; a targeted, multifaceted approach better balances equity and fiscal responsibility.
Firstly, providing free housing to all non-payers would impose enormous budgetary pressures and create moral hazard. Unlimited entitlement discourages personal responsibility and may disincentivize work if benefits are overly generous. Moreover, blanket programs often allocate resources to households that do not need them, producing waste and undermining public support. Instead, means-tested subsidies, social housing for the most vulnerable, and time-limited rental assistance ensure aid reaches those in genuine need without bankrupting public finances.
Secondly, the state still has an indispensable role in guaranteeing affordability and decent living standards. Strategic public investment in social housing, incentives for affordable private developments, and robust tenant protections can expand supply and stabilise rents. Complementary services—job training, childcare and targeted cash transfers—help beneficiaries regain independence, making the safety net incremental and rehabilitative rather than permanent dependency.
In conclusion, while housing should be protected as a right, governments should avoid blanket free provision; targeted support combined with supply-side measures better secures both dignity and sustainability.

  • basic → cơ bản.
    Example: Access to basic services like water and shelter is essential for health.
  • partly disagree → không hoàn toàn đồng ý.
    Example: I partly disagree with the proposal to cut all subsidies immediately.
  • subsistence → đủ sống, sinh kế tối thiểu.
    Example: Many policies focus on ensuring subsistence income for the poorest families.
  • unsustainable → không bền vững về lâu dài.
    Example: The current rate of spending is unsustainable without tax increases.
  • targeted → nhắm đúng đối tượng.
    Example: A targeted program delivers vouchers only to qualifying households.
  • moral hazard → rủi ro đạo đức (gây hành vi rủi ro khi được bảo hiểm).
    Example: Generous guarantees can create moral hazard by reducing incentives to save.
  • disincentivize → làm giảm động cơ (không khuyến khích).
    Example: Poorly designed benefits may disincentivize employment.

You should say: What park it is and where it is;
how you know about it;
why you want to go there;
what it is like?
I’d like to describe Yosemite National Park, which is located in California in the western part of the United States. It is a vast national park famous for its giant trees, mountains, and natural landscapes. Overall, it’s a place I’ve been dreaming of visiting for quite a long time.
To begin with, how I know about this place, I first learned about Yosemite through travel documentaries and nature photography on social media. Later on, I also read a few travel blogs written by hikers who had explored the park in depth. Their personal experiences made the destination feel even more appealing and realistic to me.
Moving on to why I want to visit it, I’m someone who enjoys quiet environments, and being surrounded by trees helps me relax. I feel that spending time in such a natural setting would allow me to disconnect from daily stress and reset my mindset. If I had the opportunity, I would definitely go hiking and spend hours simply walking among the trees.
Finally, in terms of what it is like, Yosemite is known for its towering pine trees, wide valleys, and breathtaking scenery. The atmosphere is said to be peaceful yet powerful, especially in the early morning when the park is covered in mist. All in all, it seems like a perfect blend of serenity and natural beauty.

Friend of yours who likes to sing
Describe a friend of yours who likes to sing

  • how you know this person;
  • what kind of songs this person likes;
  • why this person likes to sing
I’d like to describe a close friend of mine named Daniel, who has a real passion for singing. We first got to know each other at university, where we were in the same study group and quickly became friends because we shared similar interests. Over time, his love for music became something I noticed almost immediately.
To begin with, who he is and how I know him, Daniel is an outgoing and creative person who always brings positive energy to the people around him. We’ve been friends for several years now, and during that time, I’ve seen how naturally music fits into his daily life. Whenever there’s a gathering, he’s usually the one asked to sing.
Moving on to the kind of songs he enjoys, he mainly listens to pop ballads and acoustic songs. He especially likes tracks with emotional lyrics, because they allow him to express feelings more deeply. Occasionally, he also sings classic songs, which shows how wide his musical taste is.
Finally, as for why he likes to sing, singing helps him release stress and express himself in ways that words alone cannot. He once told me that when he sings, he feels completely present and forgets about his worries. If he hadn’t discovered singing earlier in his life, he might not be as confident as he is today.

Telling the truth
Describe a time when it was important to tell your friend the truth
  • You should say: who your friend is;
  • what the truth was;
  • what your friend's reaction was;
  • why it was important to tell the truth
I’d like to talk about a time when it was really important for me to be honest with a close friend of mine called Anna. We’ve known each other since high school, so our friendship has always been built on trust and openness. That’s exactly why this situation mattered so much to me.
To begin with, who my friend is and what the truth was, Anna was preparing for an important scholarship interview and asked for my opinion on her presentation. The truth was that although her ideas were strong, the way she delivered them was quite unclear and rushed. I had initially hesitated, but I eventually told her honestly that she needed to work on her structure and confidence.
Moving on to her reaction, at first she looked a bit disappointed and went quiet for a moment. However, after reflecting on what I said, she thanked me for being straightforward instead of just saying something nice. Later on, she even asked me to help her practise for the interview.
Finally, regarding why it was important to tell the truth, I knew that giving her false reassurance would only harm her chances in the long run. Real friends shouldn’t sugar-coat the truth when it genuinely matters. If I hadn’t been honest at that moment, I would have felt guilty knowing I failed to support her properly.

Wild animal you want to know more about
Describe a wild animal that you want to know more about
  • You should say: what it is;
  • when you saw it;
  • where you saw it;
  • why you want to know more about it
I’d like to describe a wild animal that I’m extremely curious about, which is the snow leopard. It’s a rare and elusive big cat that lives in high-altitude mountain ranges. Even though I’ve never seen it up close, it has left a strong impression on me.
To begin with, when and where I saw it, I first saw a snow leopard a few years ago in a wildlife documentary on television. The programme focused on animals living in the Himalayas and showed short but powerful clips of these animals moving silently across snowy cliffs. That was the first time I realised how unique and mysterious it was.
Moving on to why I want to know more about it, what fascinates me most is how well the snow leopard adapts to such harsh environments. It can survive freezing temperatures and blend perfectly into its surroundings. I’ve always admired animals that rely on intelligence and adaptability rather than strength alone.
Finally, in terms of my overall interest, the snow leopard is also endangered, which makes me even more eager to learn about it. If people understood this animal better, they might be more willing to protect it and its habitat. For me, learning about the snow leopard isn’t just interesting, but also meaningful.

Speaking part 3
Parks, nature
Are natural views better than city views?
In my opinion, natural views are generally more beneficial than city views, especially in terms of mental well-being. Looking at trees, mountains, or rivers tends to reduce stress and help people feel calmer almost instantly. City views, on the other hand, are often associated with noise, crowds, and constant movement, which can be mentally exhausting. However, city views can still be inspiring for people who enjoy energy, ambition, and modern architecture. That said, if people are feeling overwhelmed, natural scenery usually offers deeper relaxation. Overall, it depends on personality, but nature often has a more restorative effect.
  • Do all people need some nature?
I strongly believe that all people need some level of contact with nature, even if they don’t realise it. Spending time outdoors can improve mood, concentration, and overall physical health. Without nature, people may feel disconnected or emotionally drained over time. Even small forms of nature, such as plants on a balcony or short walks in a park, can make a noticeable difference. While some individuals prefer indoor or urban lifestyles, they still benefit psychologically from natural elements. In that sense, nature plays a universal role in human well-being.
  • Are people hard-wired to protect the environment?
I don’t think people are naturally hard-wired to protect the environment, but they do have the potential to care deeply about it. Humans tend to prioritise convenience and short-term benefits, especially in modern society. However, when people are educated about environmental consequences, their attitudes often change. Emotional connections to nature, such as growing up near forests or oceans, can also strengthen environmental responsibility. If environmental awareness were encouraged from a young age, protective behaviour would feel more natural. So, it’s less instinctive and more learned.
  • Why do people like visiting places with trees or forests?
People are drawn to places with trees or forests mainly because these environments feel peaceful and refreshing. Being surrounded by greenery helps people escape from pressure and constant digital stimulation. Forests also offer a sense of space and privacy that cities often lack. In addition, natural sounds like birds or wind can be surprisingly calming. Many people also enjoy physical activities such as walking or hiking in these areas. As a result, forests provide both mental relaxation and physical benefits.
  • Why is it important to have parks in the city?
Parks are essential in cities because they balance out fast-paced urban life. They provide residents with accessible spaces to relax, exercise, and socialise without leaving the city. Parks also improve air quality and reduce the urban heat effect. For families and elderly people, parks offer safe and inclusive environments. Without green spaces, cities would feel far more stressful and unhealthy. Therefore, parks are a vital part of urban planning.

What benefits can a park bring to a city?
A park can bring a wide range of benefits to a city, both socially and environmentally. From a health perspective, parks encourage physical activity and reduce stress levels among residents. Socially, they create shared spaces where people from different backgrounds can interact. Environmentally, parks support biodiversity and help regulate temperature and air quality. They can also increase the attractiveness of a city, which benefits tourism and property value. Overall, parks contribute significantly to a city’s quality of life.
Music
  • Should every child learn to play a musical instrument?
I don’t think every child must learn to play a musical instrument, but it should definitely be encouraged. Learning an instrument can be highly beneficial, yet not all children enjoy or connect with music in the same way. For some, forcing it may actually reduce motivation and creativity. That said, exposure to music at an early age helps children discover whether they have an interest or talent. If a child shows curiosity, parents should support it rather than impose it. Ultimately, choice matters more than obligation.
  • What are the benefits of children learning a musical instrument? (added on 1 September 2025)
Learning a musical instrument offers both cognitive and emotional benefits for children. It improves concentration, memory, and discipline because regular practice requires focus and patience. At the same time, music allows children to express emotions that they may struggle to put into words. It can also boost confidence, especially when they perform in front of others. In addition, playing an instrument teaches children how to handle mistakes and improve gradually. Overall, it supports well-rounded personal development.
  • What kinds of music do you like to listen to?
I enjoy listening to a variety of music, depending on my mood and situation. Most of the time, I prefer acoustic or soft pop music because it helps me relax. When I need motivation, I usually choose upbeat pop or light electronic tracks. I also appreciate instrumental music when I’m studying, as it improves my concentration. Although my taste is flexible, I tend to avoid music that feels too noisy or aggressive. For me, music is mainly a way to regulate my emotions.
  • What habits should children have?
Children should develop habits that support both learning and emotional growth. One important habit is time management, such as balancing study, play, and rest. They should also learn to take responsibility for small tasks, like tidying their space or finishing homework on time. Reading regularly is another valuable habit, as it improves language skills and imagination. In addition, habits related to health, such as sleeping well and exercising, are essential. These habits form the foundation for a stable adult life.
  • What should parents do to teach their children good habits?
Parents play a crucial role in shaping their children’s habits through daily behaviour. First of all, they should lead by example, because children often imitate what they see rather than what they’re told. Consistency is also important, as habits take time to develop. Parents should encourage effort instead of perfection, so children don’t feel pressured. Positive reinforcement, such as praise, can make habits more enjoyable. Over time, this approach helps habits become natural rather than forced.
  • Why do some habits change when people get older, and how do people change their habits?
Habits often change as people get older because their responsibilities and priorities shift. For example, adults may replace playful habits with more practical ones due to work or family demands. Life experiences also influence habits, especially failures or health issues. To change a habit, people usually need strong motivation and clear goals. Small, gradual changes are more effective than sudden ones. In most cases, habit change is a conscious process rather than an automatic one.
Old things
  • Do you think that keeping old things in a family is a great way to connect with the past?

Yes, I strongly believe that keeping old things in a family is an effective way to stay connected with the past. Objects like heirlooms or letters carry personal stories that history books often cannot capture. They remind family members of their roots and shared experiences. These items also help younger generations understand where their family came from. Without such objects, the past can feel distant and abstract. Therefore, old belongings serve as emotional bridges between generations.
  • Why do grown-ups hate to throw away old things?
Many grown-ups dislike throwing away old things because of emotional attachment. Objects are often linked to memories, people, or important life stages. Letting go of them can feel like losing a part of one’s identity. In addition, older people may value practicality and believe items could be useful again in the future. Cultural attitudes also play a role, as wasting things is often seen negatively. As a result, sentimental and practical reasons combine to make it difficult to discard old possessions.
  • As well as family photographs, what are some other things that people keep in their family for a long time?
Apart from photographs, families often keep items such as jewellery, watches, or traditional clothing. Personal documents like handwritten letters or diaries are also commonly preserved. In some cases, furniture or household objects are passed down because they are durable and meaningful. Awards, medals, or certificates may also be kept to honour achievements. These objects usually represent important moments or values in a family’s history. Over time, they become symbols rather than just physical items.
  • In your culture, what sorts of things do people pass down from generation to generation?
In my culture, people often pass down practical and symbolic items. Jewellery and family-owned houses are common examples. Some families also pass down recipes or cooking traditions, which are just as meaningful as physical objects. In addition, values such as respect for elders and family responsibility are taught across generations. These traditions help maintain a sense of identity and continuity. Overall, what is passed down reflects both cultural values and family priorities.
Scenic spots, buildings
  • Should all scenic spots charge an entry fee?
I don’t think all scenic spots should charge an entry fee. While fees can help maintain facilities and protect the environment, some natural or cultural places should remain freely accessible. Charging for every scenic spot could discourage low-income visitors. A mixed system would be more reasonable, where popular or high-maintenance sites require tickets, but public spaces stay free. Governments can also subsidise important heritage sites. This approach balances preservation with accessibility.
  • Is visiting scenic spots the best choice for us while travelling?
Visiting scenic spots is a popular choice, but it’s not always the best option for everyone. Scenic spots offer iconic views and cultural value, which is ideal for first-time visitors. However, some travellers prefer exploring local neighbourhoods to experience everyday life. Personal interests, travel style, and time constraints all play a role. In many cases, combining scenic spots with local experiences creates a more balanced trip. So, it depends on what travellers are looking for.
  • Why do some people like to live in big cities?

Many people are attracted to big cities because of the opportunities they offer. Cities usually provide better job prospects, higher salaries, and access to quality education. In addition, urban areas have more entertainment, healthcare, and cultural events. Some people also enjoy the fast-paced lifestyle and social diversity. Although city life can be stressful, the convenience often outweighs the disadvantages. That’s why big cities remain appealing.
  • Is it necessary for tourists to visit landmarks when travelling in a place?
It’s not absolutely necessary, but visiting landmarks can enhance the travel experience. Landmarks represent a city’s identity and history, which helps tourists understand the place better. That said, some travellers prefer less crowded locations. If time is limited, landmarks are an efficient way to get a sense of the destination. However, skipping them doesn’t mean the trip is less meaningful. Again, it depends on personal preference.
  • Which do most people prefer, living in a bungalow or in a tall building?

Most people today seem to prefer living in tall buildings, especially in urban areas. High-rise apartments are more practical due to limited land and high population density. They are often located close to workplaces and public transport. However, some people still prefer bungalows for privacy and space. In general, preference is influenced by lifestyle, income, and location. Urban residents tend to favour tall buildings, while suburban families lean towards bungalows.
Toys, kids and ads
  • How does advertising influence children?

Advertising has a strong influence on children because they are still developing critical thinking skills. Bright colours, catchy music, and cartoon characters easily capture their attention. As a result, children may believe that owning certain products will make them happier or more popular. Advertising can also shape their preferences and behaviour at a very young age. Over time, repeated exposure can normalise excessive consumption. This is why children are particularly vulnerable to marketing messages.
  • Do you think advertising that targets children should be banned?
I don’t think all advertising targeting children should be completely banned, but it should be strictly regulated. Some advertisements, such as those promoting educational toys or healthy products, can be beneficial. However, ads that encourage unhealthy habits or materialism can be harmful. Clear rules are needed to limit misleading or manipulative content. Parents should also have control over what their children are exposed to. A balanced approach is more realistic than a total ban.
  • What toys are popular with boys and girls in your country now?
Nowadays, many children enjoy toys related to technology and creativity. Building blocks, remote-controlled toys, and educational games are popular with both boys and girls. Girls also tend to enjoy dolls or craft sets, while boys often prefer toy cars or action figures, although this gap is becoming smaller. Digital toys and interactive learning devices are increasingly common. Overall, toy preferences are becoming more diverse and less strictly gender-based.
Topic 5: Scenic spots, buildings
  • Should all scenic spots charge an entry fee?
