## :one: Visiting Hanoi
Hi Anna, 
I hope you are well.
I am glad to hear that you are interested in visiting Hanoi, the city where I am living. It's wonderful choice, and I'd be thrilled to share some information to help you plan the trip. 
Firstly, getting around in Hanoi is very convenient. You can use mobile apps like Grab or Xanh SM to book a ride. However, in my opinion, the most economical and environmentally friendly way to travel is by bus.
In addition, HN has many places to vitit such as Hoan Kiem Lake, West Lake or Hanoi Old Quarter. Those are beautiful sites where you can relax and take photos as souvenirs. You should also visit the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, the person who enlightened and secured independence for the Vietnamese people.

It is frightening that many land and sea animals are facing extinction due to human activities. Firstly, human interference with nature has caused significant changes, making it harder for animals and plants to survive. Destruction of habitats, whether on land, in the air, or underwater, has become widespread due to human actions like building and farming. This has led to an unprecedented rate of species extinction. Moreover, human activities, whether industrial, agricultural, or everyday actions, result in the release of harmful waste into the air, water, or landfills. Incidents like oil spills have devastating effects on aquatic life. In addition, each individual also needs to voluntarily raise awareness and try to reuse as much as possible to reduce the amount of waste released into the environment. In conclusion, urgent actions are needed to slow down the current rate of extinctions. Governments, international organizations and individuals must work together to enforce strict laws and promote responsible environmental practices.
## :five: Gia tăng dân số nhanh (Effect - Solution)
The rapid growth of the world population has resulted in significant impacts on our planet. The rapidly growing population in the world has led to the problem of food scarcity and heavy pressure on land resources. Additionally, generating employment opportunities in vastly populated countries is very difficult. The development of infrastructural facilities is not able to cope up with the pace of a growing population. So our roads, communication, houses, schools, and healthcare can't keep up with more people. To address these challenges, preventive measures are crucial. Governments and various non-governmental organizations need to enhance awareness about family planning.Morever, education plays a vital role in population control, especially in developing countries. Resource management and urban planning can accommodate the growing population without compromising the quality of life.

## :one: Globalization
### :accept: Do quá trình toàn cầu hóa, bạn không thể thành công nếu không nói được một ngoại ngữ. (Agree - Disagree)
- In our increasingly interconnected world, the ability to communicate across borders and cultures is essential. Although some may argue that not everyone needs to learn a foreign language, I believe that mastering at least one foreign language is crucial for personal development, career success, and global understanding.
- Firstly, learning a foreign language broadens our horizons. Language is a key component of culture. By learning a new language, individuals gain insights into the values, history and traditions of the people who speak it. This cultural competence is essential not only in professional settings but also in personal interactions, promoting mutual respect and reducing the likelihood of misunderstandings.
- Additionally, from a practical standpoint, knowing a foreign language opens doors to career opportunities. In the competitive job market, employers often prioritize candidates who can communicate with international clients, partners, and colleagues. Multinational companies, in particular, seek employees who can contribute to the organization's global strategy. Therefore, speaking an additional language can make you stand out from other candidates and opens doors to opportunities that would otherwise be inaccessible.
- While some may argue that advancements in technology, such as translation apps, reduce the necessity of learning a foreign language, these tools cannot replace real language and cultural skills. They can help with basic communication, but they cannot provide the deep understanding and strong connections that come from speaking a language fluently.
- In conclusion, it is highly recommended for everyone to learn at least one foreign language to  maximize their potential in today's interconnected world.
### :accept: Toàn cầu hóa (Advantage - Disadvantage)
- Globalization has significantly reshaped the world over the past few decades, leading to increased interconnectedness and interdependence among countries. While globalization offers numerous benefits, it also presents several challenges.
- One of the most significant benefits of globalization is the economic growth. By opening up markets and allowing for the free flow of goods and services, globalization has enabled countries to specialize in the production of goods and services in which they have a comparative advantage. Additionally, globalization has expanded access to international markets, providing businesses with new opportunities for growth and consumers with a greater variety of goods and services at lower prices.
- Another major advantage of globalization is the cultural exchange. Through travel, communication, and trade, people from different parts of the world are exposed to new ideas, lifestyles, and traditions. This cultural exchange promotes mutual understanding and appreciation, helping to break down stereotypes and foster global cooperation. Moreover, the spread of technology and innovation across borders contributes to improvements in healthcare, education, and infrastructure worldwide.
- However, globalization also has its drawbacks. One of the most notable disadvantages is the exacerbation of income inequality. In many cases, the rich have become richer, while the poor have seen little improvement in their living conditions. It can lead to social unrest and political instability. 
- In conclusion, globalization is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon with both significant benefits and considerable challenges. To maximize the benefits and minimize the drawbacks, it is essential for policymakers to implement strategies that promote inclusive and sustainable globalization.
## :two: Education
### :accept: Ảnh hưởng của công nghệ đến giáo dục (Advantage - Disadvantage)
- Technology has revolutionized nearly every aspect of our lives, and education is no exception. It has brought many benefits to teaching and learning but also presents some challenges.
- Firstly, technology has improved teaching methods. Teachers can now use modern tools such as interactive whiteboards, educational software, and videos to make lessons more engaging and effective.

### :accept: Giáo dục đại học nên miễn phí (Agree - Disagree)
- Over recent years, more and more people have been attending university and arguments have persisted as to whether students should pay for this privilege not. Although there are convincing arguments on both sides, I strongly believe that it should be free.
- Firstly, it will encourage more people to attend and this will benefit society. This is because it will lead to a more productive and educated workforce. Research has generally shown that those countries that have a better educated population via university have higher levels of innovation and productivity. In addition, there is the issue of equality of opportunity. If all students are required to pay, those on a low income may be dissuaded from attending, thus making it unfair.
- However, one argument put forward in favour of charging students is that education is becoming more expensive to fund as universities grow in size. Consequently, making students pay may maintain standards and ensure the quality of the teaching. In addition, it is argued that most students benefit from university in terms of higher paid jobs, so it is fair that they pay for at least some of the cost, especially given that the majority of students attending university are from the middle classes.
- In conclusion, I am of opinion that all education should remain equally available to all regardless of income. This is not only fair, but will also ensure that countries can prosper and develop into the future with a well-educated workforce.
### :accept: Ngày nay, giáo dục đại học được coi là rất quan trọng đối với tương lai của con người. Tuy nhiên, có rất nhiều người thành công mà không học lên cao. Bạn có nghĩ rằng giáo dục đại học là cần thiết để thành công trong cuộc sống? (Agree - Disagree)
- Today, higher education is often seen as very important for a person's future. While some may argue that university education is not essential for success, I strongly believe that higher education plays a crucial role in shaping individuals' futures and contributing to society.
- Firstly, higher education provides individuals with specialized knowledge and skills. Universities offer a wide range of programs in various fields, allowing students to gain in-depth understanding and expertise in their chosen areas.This specialized knowledge is essential in today’s knowledge-based economy, where advanced skills are highly valued. 
- Additionally, higher education opens doors to career opportunities. Many professions require a university degree as a basic qualification, and employers often prefer candidates with higher education credentials. A degree not only enhances employability but also provides access to better job positions and higher salaries. Moreover, higher education fosters critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills, which are essential for career advancement and success in the modern workplace.
- However, one argument against the importance of higher education is that success does not necessarily depend on having a university degree. There are many examples of artists, creators and innovators who have achieved significant success without higher education. These individuals often rely on practical skills and creativity to success. They can be just as beneficial as a university degree, especially in fields such as arts, technology, and business, where innovation and the ability to start one's own ventures can play a more crucial role than academic credentials.
- In conclusion, higher education equips individuals with specialized knowledge and skills, opens up numerous career opportunities, and promotes personal growth. While there are alternative paths to success, higher education remains a key factor in achieving professional and personal goals. Therefore, I strongly believe that higher education is essential for success in today’s world.
### :a: AI ra đời thay thế con người (Agree - Disagree)
- The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has sparked widespread debate about its impact on the workforce. While some believe that AI will replace human jobs, I stronhly believe that AI will complement human efforts, create new job opportunities, and enhance overall productivity.
- Firstly, AI can automate repetitive tasks, allowing workers to focus on more complex and creative aspects of their jobs. By automating routine tasks, businesses can operate more efficiently, leading to cost savings and increased output. This boost in productivity can result in economic growth and the expansion of businesses, which, in turn, can create more jobs. 
- It's true that the rise of AI will lead to the creation of new job opportunities. AI may drive the growth of industries that do not yet exist, much like the advent of the internet created jobs that were unimaginable a few decades ago. These new fields will require a human touch such as problem-solving or ethical decision-making.
- Last but not least, there are aspects of human work that AI cannot replicate. Human jobs often require emotional intelligence, creativity, and the ability to build relationships—skills that AI lacks. These elements are crucial for fostering trust, understanding, and collaboration, which are essential in many professional fields.
- In conclusion, while AI will undoubtedly transform the job market, it will not replace human jobs. Instead, AI will serve as a complementary tool that enhances human capabilities, creates new job opportunities, and boosts productivity.

### :a: Thuốc lá nên bị cấm hoàn toàn (Agree - Disagree) 
- Tobacco use has long been a contentious issue in public health, prompting debates over whether it should be completely banned. I firmly believe that a total ban on tobacco products is necessary for several compelling reasons.
- Firstly, tobacco is undeniably harmful to health. Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death globally, contributing to millions of deaths each year due to diseases such as lung cancer, heart disease, and respiratory disorders. 
- Additionally, tobacco use imposes significant economic costs on society. Healthcare expenditures related to tobacco-related diseases strain public health systems.
- Moreover, the tobacco industry has a long history of unethical practices. It has targeted vulnerable populations, including youth and low-income communities, with aggressive marketing strategies. Therefore, education and awareness campaigns would play a crucial role in shifting societal norms away from tobacco use.
- While some argue for personal freedom and choice, the negative externalities of tobacco use outweigh individual rights. Secondhand smoke poses risks to non-smokers, especially children and pregnant women.
- In conclusion, implementing a total ban on tobacco would not only save lives but also reduce healthcare costs, improve public health outcomes, and create environments free from the harms of tobacco.

- In today's fast-paced urban lifestyle, obtaining adequate physical exercise has become increasingly challenging for city dwellers. This essay will explore the primary causes of this issue and propose potential solutions to help urban residents overcome the obstacles to maintaining an active lifestyle.
- The first cause of the difficulty in getting enough physical exercise in cities is the lack of free time. Many urban residents work long hours and have lengthy commutes, leaving little time for physical activities. For instance, the sedentary nature of most office jobs usually contributes to the problem by discouraging regular movement during work hours. Another significant factor is the limited availability of green spaces and recreational facilities in densely populated urban areas. The scarcity of parks, sports facilities, and open spaces make it difficult for city dwellers to engage in outdoor activities and maintain a regular exercise routine.
- There are several possible solutions to address the lack of physical exercise in cities. Firstly, employers can contribute to this effort by offering flexible work schedules, telecommuting options, or on-site fitness facilities to help employees balance their work and exercise routines. Secondly, there should be more public spaces designed for recreational activities. By investing in parks, sports facilities, and bike lanes, city planners can encourage urban residents to engage in physical activities during their leisure time. These spaces can also serve as venues for community events, such as fitness classes and sports leagues, providing additional motivation for city dwellers to stay active.
- In conclusion, the difficulty of obtaining sufficient physical exercise in urban environments stems from a combination of time constraints and the limited availability of recreational spaces. To tackle this issue, city planners and employers should work together to create accessible public spaces for physical activities and raise awareness about the importance of maintaining an active lifestyle.
## :seven: Risk
### :accept: Động vật trên bờ tuyệt chủng (Problem - Solution)
- Rapid human developments, both on land and under the ocean, are driving many wildlife species to the verge of extinction. In this essay, I will outline several reasons for this, and put forward some feasible measures to address this issue.
- There are two main reasons behind animal extinction, with the first one being loss of natural habitats from human activities, for example, deforestation on land, or marine debris in the ocean. When a habitat is destroyed, the plants and animals occupying the habitat will have reduced breeding capacity, thus populations decline, and extinction becomes more likely. Apart from habitat losses, illegal trafficking and wildlife trade is another driver of global animal extinction, especially that of threatened species. This is because when threatened species are involved, any poaching of such species to supply illegal wildlife trade will further enhance the risks of that species becoming extinct.
- Actions must be taken immediately to minimize the negative impacts of animal extinction on the environment and human life. As habitat loss is the main driver of animal extinction, it’s important that we protect animals' habitats, especially those of endangered species. Governments and environmental organizations can identify and prioritize wildlands in need of increased protection, as well as provide support for native habitat restoration, like reforestration, that assists in the recovery of once degraded ecosystems. Furthermore, it’s also necessary for everyone to join hands to stop the illegal trade of endangered species. Governments can enforce stricter laws against wildlife trade, and also implement extensive media coverage of the issue to raise environmental awareness.
- In conclusion, natural habitat losses and illegal wildlife hunting, trafficking are the two main drivers of animal extinction. To address this issue, governments must protect and restore the natural ecosystems, and everyone should join hands to stop the illegal trade of endangered species.
