TASK 2:

Many believe printed media will soon become obsolete due to technological
advancements. E-books, digital newspapers, and online magazines have changed how we
access information, offering convenience and quick access to vast numbers of readers,
leading to concerns about the future of traditional print.

Conversely, some believe print media will persist. Many cherish the tactile experience of
physical books and newspapers, as print offers a sensory quality that digital cannot
replicate. Additionally, printed materials are more durable and don’t rely on technology
or internet access, making them accessible in various situations.

The emotional ties of reading a physical book can enhance the experience. People enjoy
the smell of paper, the sound of turning pages, and the ability to annotate text, which
fosters a deeper connection with the material.

While print media usage may decline, it won't vanish entirely. Certain groups, like
collectors and researchers, will continue to value printed items, ensuring they coexist
alongside digital formats, each serving unique purposes for different audiences.

Ultimately, the future will likely be a blend of print and digital media, allowing printed
works to retain their significance in an increasingly digital world.

TASK 2 :

More people, especially in developed countries, are choosing to have children later due to
factors like career goals and financial stability. Many women are prioritizing education
and careers, which delays family planning. Improved healthcare allows for safer
pregnancies at older ages, contributing to this trend.

This shift has its pros and cons. Older parents typically have more financial security and
emotional stability, enabling them to create strong environments for their kids and
provide quality experiences. Conversely, they may spend less time with their children as
the age gap narrows over time. Additionally, older parents face increased health risks
during pregnancy, affecting both their health and that of the child.

On a societal level, postponing parenthood could lead to lower birth rates, worsening
issues related to an aging population and potential workforce shortages. While there are
benefits to having children later, it also poses serious challenges for individuals and
society. Balancing career, personal health, and family goals will be important as this trend
progresses.

TASK 1:

Hi Alan,
Congratulations on placing second in the art competition! That’s an amazing achievement,
and I’m so proud of you. I hope you enjoy your summer visit to my country, with warm
weather around 25 to 35°C.

I recommend visiting coastal cities like Nha Trang and Da Nang for beautiful beaches,
perfect for swimming and sunbathing. If you're into history, Hanoi and Hoi An offer stunning
old architecture and markets that showcase our rich culture.

Don't miss trying the local cuisine it's a must! Let me know what activities you and your
mother are interested in, and I’ll suggest more ideas.

TASK 2 :

I support encouraging young people to engage in unpaid community service. This

involvement benefits society and enriches teenagers' lives. Firstly, volunteering instills
responsibility and compassion in them, teaching the value of giving back while helping
shape their character.

Additionally, teens gain essential skills like teamwork, communication, and leadership
through these activities. These abilities are vital for their future personal and professional
challenges. For instance, coaching younger kids or participating in neighborhood
improvements helps them learn to collaborate and manage tasks efficiently. Such
experiences can also enhance their resumes, making them more appealing to potential
employers or schools.

Furthermore, the community as a whole gains from these efforts. By contributing to

environmental improvements or local events, young people enhance societal well-being,
fostering stronger community ties and bridging generational gaps. They also develop
empathy by understanding others' challenges.

In summary, unpaid community service benefits both youth and society. It supports
personal development and contributes positively to communities. Thus, these activities
should be promoted, as they are crucial for nurturing responsible and engaged citizens.
The skills and values gained through volunteering will be beneficial throughout their
lives.

TASK 1 :

Hi Susan,

Sorry for taking so long to return your book. I intended to do it sooner, but I got
sidetracked. I recently finished Lady Susan and really enjoyed it; the characters and story
were intriguing, which explains why it's important to you.

I can bring the book back this weekend at our regular café and we can catch up. I'm eager
to hear what you've been doing and any new books you've discovered since we last
talked. Your suggestions are always helpful, and I'd like to add to my reading list. Just let
me know if Saturday works for you.

Looking forward to seeing you!

Dear organizing committee,

My friend and I are thrilled about attending the Coldplay concert. Since it's our first large
event, we have some questions.

We need details on ticket purchases: can we buy them online, at the venue, or have them
shipped? What is the price per ticket? Please inform us of the concert’s time and location.
We would also appreciate any information on parking and accessibility options.

We look forward to your quick response to help us prepare for the show. Thank you for
your help!

Best regards, [Your name]

TASK 2:

Choosing between an extended family and a nuclear family is a personal decision based
on one’s preferences and situations. Extended families provide community and support,
while nuclear families offer more independence and privacy, each with its own pros and
cons.

I lean toward a nuclear family setup because it encourages closer relationships and a more
supportive atmosphere. This intimacy enables better communication and emotional
backing during tough times. Nuclear families also allow for greater lifestyle flexibility
and quicker decision-making, as there's no need to accommodate a larger group.

On the other hand, living in an extended family has its benefits too. Having multiple
generations around can impart valuable lessons and provide solid support, especially for
kids. For instance, grandparents contribute wisdom and care that enhance family life.
However, differing opinions can lead to conflicts, particularly about parenting or
household choices.

In summary, both family types have their advantages, but I feel a nuclear family aligns
better with my lifestyle and values. The chance to build strong connections with my
immediate family while maintaining independence is essential for me. Ultimately, the
choice should reflect one's personal beliefs and preferences.

TASK 1:

Dear Manager,
Thank you for reaching out about service enhancements at the sports center. I've enjoyed
being a member for six months, particularly the variety of equipment and classes. The
swimming pool serves as a great spot for both relaxation and exercise. I chose your center for
its convenient location, friendly staff, and inviting atmosphere.
That said, I see potential for improvement. The locker rooms could be cleaner and better
organized. Additionally, increasing yoga class and personal training session options would
benefit many members in their fitness journeys.
Overall, I'm happy with my experience and wish to maintain my membership. Thank you for
considering my feedback.
Best regards,
Trang
