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

Does your country provide a good public school system?

Đất nước của bạn có hệ thống trường công lập tốt không?

[POINT]Point

Overall, I think the public school system is reasonably good because most children can access basic education.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

The main strengths are broad access, a national curriculum and a large network of schools, although teaching quality and school resources can vary between areas.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, urban schools may have better facilities than schools in remote regions.

[EXTEND]Extend

So the system works, but improving equality in resources and teacher support would make it stronger.

What improvements does the school system need?

Hệ thống trường học cần những cải tiến gì?

[POINT]Point

I think schools need better teacher training, smaller class sizes and more equal digital access.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Large classes make individual support difficult, while outdated training can limit how effectively teachers respond to different learners.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For example, bringing down class size in crowded schools could give teachers more time to check understanding.

[EXTEND]Extend

Technology also matters, but new devices should come with teacher support and reliable internet rather than being treated as a solution on their own.

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

Which subjects do you think should be optional and which should be compulsory?

Bạn nghĩ những môn học nào nên là tự chọn và môn nào nên là bắt buộc?

[POINT]Point

I think language, mathematics and basic science should remain compulsory, while arts, advanced sciences and some social subjects can become more optional later.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Core subjects give students basic literacy and numeracy, but elective subjects allow more subject choice based on interests and future plans.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, an older student who wants to study design may benefit from choosing more art classes.

[EXTEND]Extend

A balanced system should keep a broad foundation while giving teenagers increasing freedom as they become more certain about their goals.

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

How do you feel about the modern biological technology?

Bạn cảm thấy thế nào về công nghệ sinh học hiện đại?

[POINT]Point

I think modern biotechnology is a double-edged sword.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

It can improve medicine, agriculture and disease prevention, but genetic research also creates ethical concerns about safety, privacy and how far humans should alter living organisms.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, gene-based treatments may help patients with serious inherited diseases, yet they need careful testing and regulation.

[EXTEND]Extend

So I support biotechnology when it solves clear problems, but I think strong ethical rules are necessary.

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

What do you think parents should teach their children?

Bạn nghĩ cha mẹ nên dạy con cái những gì?

[POINT]Point

Parents should teach children practical values as well as everyday skills.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Personal responsibility, respect for others and social-emotional learning help children manage relationships and behaviour as they grow up.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, parents can teach children to apologise, keep promises, manage small amounts of money and help with household tasks.

[EXTEND]Extend

Schools can reinforce these lessons, but families are especially important because children observe daily behaviour at home and often copy what adults actually do.
