Why do adults still have to read books?

Tại sao người lớn vẫn phải đọc sách?

[POINT]Point

Adults still need to read because learning does not end when formal education finishes.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Reading supports lifelong learning, critical thinking and mental stimulation, and it helps people keep up with changes in work and society.

[EXAMPLE]Example

An adult may read professional articles to improve at work or books to understand finance, health or parenting.

[EXTEND]Extend

Reading also provides relaxation and deeper concentration, so it remains valuable even when people can get quick information from videos or social media.

How do you think reading habits will change in the future?

Bạn nghĩ thói quen đọc sách sẽ thay đổi như thế nào trong tương lai?

[POINT]Point

Reading habits will probably become more digital, flexible and mixed in the future.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

People may move between e-books, short-form texts and audiobooks depending on time and purpose.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Someone might read a long novel on a tablet at home but listen to an audiobook while travelling.

[EXTEND]Extend

The main challenge will be protecting reading attention, because constant notifications and short content can make sustained reading harder even though access to written material becomes easier.

Where do people often like to take photos?

Mọi người thường thích chụp ảnh ở những địa điểm nào?

[POINT]Point

People often like taking photos at scenic places, tourist attractions and special occasions.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

These locations or moments feel worth remembering and usually provide attractive backgrounds.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Travellers may take many pictures at a famous viewpoint, while families photograph birthdays, weddings or graduations.

[EXTEND]Extend

Social media also encourages people to search for picture-perfect places, although meaningful photos do not always need beautiful scenery because ordinary moments can become valuable memories later.

Do young people take photos more than old people?

Giới trẻ chụp ảnh nhiều hơn người lớn tuổi phải không?

[POINT]Point

Young people probably take more photos than older people on average, mainly because smartphones and social sharing are central to their daily habits.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

A smartphone camera is always available, so taking pictures costs almost nothing.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Young users may photograph meals, friends and everyday activities, and some also show off experiences online.

[EXTEND]Extend

The difference is getting smaller, though, because many older people now use smartphones confidently and take plenty of photos when travelling or spending time with family.

Part 3Topic 14 - Media, Music & EntertainmentEasy-Intermediate

Why do so many people spend money to take photos?

Tại sao nhiều người lại bỏ tiền ra để chụp ảnh?

[POINT]Point

People spend money on photos because certain moments feel important enough to preserve professionally.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Memory preservation matters for weddings, graduations, family portraits and major trips, where people want better image quality than casual phone photos.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A family may pay for a professional shoot so everyone can appear in well-composed pictures together.

[EXTEND]Extend

The cost is easier to justify when photos will be kept for many years, although ordinary daily memories usually do not require expensive equipment or professional services.
