Do you think only old people have time for leisure?

Bạn có nghĩ chỉ người già mới có thời gian rảnh rỗi không?

[POINT]Point

No, leisure is important for people of every age, not only older adults.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Students and workers may face more free-time pressure, but they still need to make time for rest, hobbies and relationships.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A young employee may exercise or meet friends after work even with a busy schedule.

[EXTEND]Extend

All work and no play is unhealthy at any age, so the amount of leisure may differ, but the need for recovery and enjoyment remains universal.

Do you think students need to wear school uniforms?

Bạn có nghĩ học sinh cần phải mặc đồng phục trường học không?

[POINT]Point

I think school uniforms can be useful, especially for younger students.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

They create visual equality, strengthen school identity and reduce daily clothing pressure.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Students do not need to compete over brands or decide what to wear every morning.

[EXTEND]Extend

Uniform rules should still be comfortable, affordable and flexible enough for weather and personal needs, because discipline should not come at the cost of practicality.

Part 3Topic 9 - Shopping & MoneyEasy-Intermediate

What kinds of clothes should people wear at work?

Mọi người nên mặc loại trang phục nào khi đi làm?

[POINT]Point

People should wear clothes that match the practical and professional requirements of their job.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Office workers may need neat work attire, while factory, medical or construction staff require safety clothing or uniforms.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A designer may dress casually, whereas a lawyer meeting clients usually needs a more formal professional image.

[EXTEND]Extend

The best workplace clothing supports comfort, safety and credibility rather than following one dress standard for every occupation.

Part 3Topic 9 - Shopping & MoneyEasy-Intermediate

Do you think people should wear formal clothes in the workplace?

Bạn có nghĩ mọi người nên mặc trang phục trang trọng ở nơi làm việc không?

[POINT]Point

People do not need formal clothes in every workplace because dress should reflect the job and workplace culture.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Client-facing roles may require formal wear to signal professionalism, while technical or creative teams can often dress down without affecting performance.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A banker meeting customers may wear a suit, whereas a software developer may work effectively in casual clothing.

[EXTEND]Extend

Clear but flexible standards are better than requiring formality simply for tradition, especially when comfort improves productivity.

Part 3Topic 9 - Shopping & MoneyEasy-Intermediate

Why should students wear uniforms?

Tại sao học sinh phải mặc đồng phục?

[POINT]Point

Students should wear uniforms because a clear school dress code can reduce distraction and create a shared identity.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Uniforms can level the playing field by making differences in fashion brands and family income less visible.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Students may feel a stronger sense of belonging when everyone wears the same school colours.

[EXTEND]Extend

Uniforms are most effective when they are affordable and comfortable, because rules that are too expensive or impractical can create the inequality they are supposed to reduce.
