Do you think computers can control humans in the future?

Bạn có nghĩ máy tính có thể kiểm soát con người trong tương lai không?

[POINT]Point

I do not think computers will simply take over and control humans, but poorly designed systems could influence people strongly.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Artificial intelligence can shape information, recommendations and automated decisions, so human oversight is essential.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, an algorithm may decide what news people see or how applications are ranked, which can affect behaviour indirectly.

[EXTEND]Extend

The main risk is not machines suddenly becoming rulers, but humans giving too much system control away without transparency, limits or accountability.

Where do children learn skills in your country?

Trẻ em ở nước bạn học các kỹ năng ở đâu?

[POINT]Point

Children learn skills in several places, especially at school, at home and through community activities.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

The school environment teaches academic and social skills, while family learning covers practical habits and values.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, children may learn teamwork in class, cooking at home and confidence through sport or music clubs.

[EXTEND]Extend

Many skills are best learned by doing, so children benefit from a mixture of formal instruction and real situations where they can practise independently.

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

What are the differences between learning skills on your own and from others?

Sự khác biệt giữa việc tự học các kỹ năng và học từ người khác là gì?

[POINT]Point

Learning on your own gives more control, while learning from others provides guidance and feedback.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Self-directed learning lets people move at a personal pace, but guided learning can prevent misunderstandings and save time.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, someone can teach themselves basic guitar chords online, yet a teacher may quickly correct poor hand position.

[EXTEND]Extend

I think the strongest approach combines both: independent practice for repetition and expert feedback for difficult points or mistakes that learners may not notice themselves.

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

What important skills should a child learn?

Trẻ em nên học những kỹ năng quan trọng nào?

[POINT]Point

A child should learn basic self-care, communication and problem-solving skills.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

These abilities help children become safer and more independent in everyday situations.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, they should know how to ask for help, follow basic safety rules, organise simple belongings and solve small problems before immediately calling an adult.

[EXTEND]Extend

Academic skills are important too, but practical independence gives children confidence and makes it easier for them to handle school, friendships and daily responsibilities.

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

What skills do you think teenagers should have?

Bạn nghĩ thanh thiếu niên nên có những kỹ năng gì?

[POINT]Point

Teenagers should develop digital literacy, money management and self-management before adulthood.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

These life skills help them study independently, use technology safely and make sensible everyday decisions.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, a teenager should be able to manage a small budget, organise deadlines and judge whether online information is reliable.

[EXTEND]Extend

Communication and basic household skills are also useful, because independence is not one single ability but a group of habits that gradually prepare young people for adult responsibilities.
