Part 3Topic 2 - Study, School & LearningEasy-Intermediate

What qualities do you think a good teacher should have?

Theo bạn, một giáo viên giỏi nên có những phẩm chất gì?

[POINT]Point

I think patience is one of the most important qualities of a good teacher.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Students learn at different speeds, so teachers need to give clear explanations and stay calm when someone does not understand immediately.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For example, a patient teacher may explain the same idea in a different way and build trust instead of making a student feel embarrassed.

[EXTEND]Extend

Good teachers also know how to bring out the best in learners by combining high expectations with encouragement.

Part 3Topic 2 - Study, School & LearningEasy-Intermediate

Who do you think can learn better?

Theo bạn, ai có khả năng học tốt hơn?

[POINT]Point

I do not think one group can always learn better than another.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Learning ability depends on motivation, prior knowledge, health and the learning environment, not simply on age or personality.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, an adult who is highly motivated may learn a language faster than a teenager who has little interest, while the teenager may remember new sounds more easily.

[EXTEND]Extend

So the better learner is usually the person whose goals, methods and environment fit the task well.

Part 3Topic 2 - Study, School & LearningEasy-Intermediate

What do you think is the best age for children to go to school?

Theo bạn, độ tuổi tốt nhất để trẻ em bắt đầu đi học là bao nhiêu?

[POINT]Point

I think around five or six is a suitable age for most children to start formal school.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

By then, many children have enough school readiness, social skills and attention span to follow simple lessons and routines.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For example, they can usually sit for short activities, listen to instructions and cooperate with classmates more easily than very young children.

[EXTEND]Extend

However, emotional development differs, so schools should allow some flexibility instead of assuming every child is ready at exactly the same age.

Part 3Topic 2 - Study, School & LearningEasy-Intermediate

What courses/subjects will be helpful in future work?

Những khóa học hoặc môn học nào sẽ hữu ích cho công việc trong tương lai?

[POINT]Point

Subjects such as digital literacy, communication, basic finance and problem-solving will be especially helpful for future work.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

These areas help people keep up with changing technology and understand practical workplace demands.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, someone who can use digital tools, explain ideas clearly and manage money has useful skills across many careers.

[EXTEND]Extend

No course can completely future-proof a person, but broad practical skills make it easier to adapt when jobs and industries change.

Part 3Topic 2 - Study, School & LearningEasy-Intermediate

Do you think students should choose subjects they like?

Bạn có nghĩ học sinh nên chọn những môn học mà mình yêu thích không?

[POINT]Point

Students should have some freedom to choose subjects they like, but not complete freedom.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Personal interest can increase motivation, while curriculum balance ensures they still study core subjects such as language, mathematics and science.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, a student who loves art could take more creative courses without dropping every academic subject.

[EXTEND]Extend

A mixed system is probably best because it respects individual strengths while keeping a broad foundation for future study and work.
