whether salaries for jobs that involve helping people are generally too low

Liệu mức lương cho các công việc liên quan đến việc giúp đỡ người khác nói chung có quá thấp hay không?

[POINT]Point

Salaries in helping professions are often too low compared with the responsibility involved.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Care work, teaching and social services create high social value, yet workers may face stress, long hours and limited pay.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Low salaries can also cause staff shortages when experienced people leave for better-paid jobs.

[EXTEND]Extend

Fair pay is important not only for workers themselves but also for the quality and stability of services that communities depend on.

Part 3Topic 6 - Friends, People & PersonalityEasy-Intermediate

some people not wanting to help other people

Một số người không muốn giúp đỡ người khác.

[POINT]Point

Some people do not want to help others because they have different priorities or limited emotional energy.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

They may be busy, distrustful, or feel that a problem is not their responsibility.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, someone may turn away from a request because they are already dealing with family or financial stress.

[EXTEND]Extend

Helping behaviour is positive, but it should not be forced in every situation; people are more likely to help when the request is clear and manageable.

Part 3Topic 6 - Friends, People & PersonalityEasy-Intermediate

governments have a responsibility to help people

Chính phủ có trách nhiệm giúp đỡ người dân.

[POINT]Point

Yes, governments have a responsibility to help people, especially when basic needs are at risk.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

A social safety net can provide healthcare, education, housing support or temporary income to vulnerable groups.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, unemployment benefits may help a family cover essential costs while someone looks for work.

[EXTEND]Extend

Government support should be targeted and sustainable, because helping people effectively also means encouraging long-term independence where possible.

Part 3Topic 6 - Friends, People & PersonalityEasy-Intermediate

whether some people deserve help more than others

liệu có phải một số người xứng đáng được giúp đỡ hơn những người khác hay không

[POINT]Point

Some people may deserve priority because their needs are more urgent, but help should not depend on personal popularity.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Fairness means considering risk, need and available resources rather than simply using a first come, first served approach in every case.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, emergency healthcare should treat the most serious patient first.

[EXTEND]Extend

So priority can be justified, but the criteria should be transparent and consistent so that support does not become unfair.

Part 3Topic 6 - Friends, People & PersonalityEasy-Intermediate

Do children nowadays have too many toys, electronic games and so on?

Trẻ em ngày nay có quá nhiều đồ chơi, trò chơi điện tử, v.v. không?

[POINT]Point

Many children probably have more toys and electronic games than they really need.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Consumer culture encourages frequent buying, and too much choice can create toy overload rather than deeper enjoyment.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Children may quickly lose interest in one toy because another new game or device appears.

[EXTEND]Extend

A smaller number of well-chosen toys can encourage more creativity and appreciation, especially when balanced with outdoor and social activities.
