What advantages and disadvantages come along with changing jobs?

Những lợi ích và hạn chế nào đi kèm với việc thay đổi công việc?

[POINT]Point

Changing jobs can create fresh opportunities, but it also involves risk.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

A career change may lead to better pay, new skills or a healthier workplace, yet people may lose stability and have to start over socially or professionally.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, moving to a new company could bring a promotion but also a probation period and unfamiliar colleagues.

[EXTEND]Extend

I think changing jobs is useful when there is a clear reason and realistic plan, rather than simply leaving whenever work becomes temporarily difficult.

Is socialisation important for children?

Việc hòa nhập xã hội có quan trọng đối với trẻ em không?

[POINT]Point

Yes, socialisation is very important for children because it teaches skills that cannot be learned only from books.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Through peer interaction, children practise cooperation, communication and handling small disagreements.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For example, during a group game they need to share, wait for turns and respond when another child has a different idea.

[EXTEND]Extend

These experiences gradually build social confidence and help children understand boundaries, so regular contact with other children is an important part of healthy development.

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

What skills can young people teach old people besides technology?

Người trẻ có thể dạy người lớn tuổi những kỹ năng gì ngoài công nghệ?

[POINT]Point

Besides technology, young people can teach older adults newer communication styles, workplace habits and sometimes languages or fitness routines.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

They may share a fresh perspective on teamwork, travel or social expectations that have changed over time.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, a younger colleague might show an older worker a more collaborative way to organise a project.

[EXTEND]Extend

The idea that you cannot teach an old dog new tricks is unfair; learning can go in both directions when each generation respects the other's experience.

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

How can we know what to do when we want to learn something new?

Làm thế nào để chúng ta biết nên làm gì khi muốn học một điều gì đó mới?

[POINT]Point

The first step is to define a clear learning goal and find reliable sources.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

People can look up beginner guides, ask experienced learners or compare courses before choosing a method.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, someone who wants to learn photography could first decide whether they need basic camera skills or editing, then choose a short course and practise each week.

[EXTEND]Extend

A simple learning plan prevents people from collecting too much information without actually practising, so knowing the goal should come before choosing materials.

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

Do you think 'showing' is a better way than 'telling' in education?

Bạn có nghĩ rằng "làm mẫu" là cách tốt hơn "nói suông" trong giáo dục không?

[POINT]Point

In many practical subjects, showing is more effective than only telling.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

A demonstration or worked example lets learners see the process step by step, which reduces confusion and supports visual learning.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, a maths teacher can solve one problem on the board while explaining each decision before students try a similar question.

[EXTEND]Extend

However, showing should not replace explanation completely; the strongest teaching combines a clear demonstration with reasons, questions and independent practice.
