Why do you think some people like adventurous activities?

Theo bạn, tại sao một số người lại thích các hoạt động mạo hiểm?

[POINT]Point

Some people seek out adventurous activities because they enjoy excitement and personal challenge.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

An adrenaline rush can make an experience feel intense, while overcoming fear creates a strong sense of achievement.

[EXAMPLE]Example

For instance, completing a difficult hike may prove to someone that they are stronger than they expected.

[EXTEND]Extend

Others also enjoy the social side, because challenging activities can create memorable experiences with friends.

Should the government pay for the cost of rescuing adventurous people who find themselves in need of help?

Liệu chính phủ có nên chi trả chi phí cứu hộ những người ưa mạo hiểm đang gặp nguy hiểm hay không?

[POINT]Point

Governments should usually provide emergency rescue because protecting life is a public service.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

However, personal responsibility also matters when people deliberately ignore safety rules or enter restricted areas.

[EXAMPLE]Example

In those cases, a partial rescue cost or fine may be reasonable.

[EXTEND]Extend

Emergency response should never be delayed because someone may not be able to pay, but clear penalties can discourage reckless behaviour without weakening public safety.

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

What do you think are the advantages and possible disadvantages of facing challenges?

Bạn nghĩ sao về những lợi thế và bất lợi tiềm tàng của việc đối mặt với thử thách?

[POINT]Point

Facing challenges can support personal growth, but too many challenges can also create stress.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

When people step outside their comfort zone, they often build confidence, skills and resilience.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A difficult project may teach someone how to solve problems under pressure.

[EXTEND]Extend

The disadvantage is the risk of failure or burnout, so challenges are most useful when they are demanding but still manageable.

Do you think old people and young people can share interests?

Bạn có nghĩ rằng người già và người trẻ có thể có chung sở thích không?

[POINT]Point

Yes, older and younger people can share many interests.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

A generation gap affects some preferences, but hobbies such as music, cooking, gardening, sport or travel can bring people together.

[EXAMPLE]Example

A grandparent and teenager may bond over football or photography even if their daily routines are very different.

[EXTEND]Extend

Shared interests are useful because they create common activities and make conversation between generations easier.

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

What can old people teach young people?

Người lớn tuổi có thể dạy gì cho người trẻ?

[POINT]Point

Older people can teach younger people practical wisdom that comes from long life experience.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

They often have a stronger long-term view of work, relationships and financial decisions.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Grandparents may also explain family history or describe how they handled difficult periods in the past.

[EXTEND]Extend

Their advice should not be treated as automatically correct, but it can give younger people useful perspectives they have not experienced themselves.
