them a great sense of satisfaction to work towards their goals and gradually achieve them. -

try a variety of professions; starting out on a completely new career path can be a reinvigorating experience. -

Another benefit of not changing occupation is that one is able to gain a lot of
experience and expertise in his specific profession, thus enhancing job security. -

employers might be reluctant to hire and invest training in them.

amount of motivation, discipline, and self-awareness.

sadism and violence, which might establish wrong concepts among the audience,
mainly on children, that influence them into having negative behaviors. -

individuals both mentally and physically.

outdoor sports. They prefer sports channel as part of entertainment rather than
encouragement for their sportsmanship skill development. -
television may alter the teenagers' interests because of the widespread coverage of sports programmes.
Against: - one of the main reasons for which many young people are not taking part in sports
these days is fatigue. Today's educational system tends to have a toll on their health by
keeping them busy throughout the day. -
The fact that numerous teenagers make their favourite star their role model and
often tries to imitate their behaviour, playing style and fashion sense, supports the
argument that they also motivate those kids to play like them as well.
17. Popular icons such as sports or movie stars play an important part in shaping the
character of young people because they may act as role models. Các bi u t ể ng n ượ i tiễống nh ổ th ư thao ha ể y ngôi sao đi n ệ nh đóng v ả ai trò quan tr ng trong ọ vi c đ ệ nh hình tnh cách c ị a gi ủ i tr ớ v ẻ ì h có t ọ h đóng vai trò l ể à hình mẫễu. For Against

27. Universities should not accept equal numbers of male and female students in every subject. 1.
Individual choice and aptitude: It is important to recognize that men and women
may have different interests, preferences, and aptitudes when it comes to academic
subjects. Equality should not be equated with uniformity. By allowing for variations
in the number of male and female students in different subjects, universities can
better accommodate the diverse interests and abilities of individuals, allowing them
to pursue fields that align with their passion and strengths. 2.
Fostering specialization: Different subjects require different skill sets and talents. By
accepting varying numbers of male and female students in different subjects,
universities can create an environment that promotes specialization and expertise.
This can lead to a more balanced and well-rounded academic community, where
individuals can contribute their unique perspectives and strengths to their respective fields. 3.
Addressing societal needs: By allowing flexibility in the admission process based on
the demands of different subjects, universities can better address societal needs. For
example, in fields where one gender is traditionally underrepresented, such as STEM
(science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), a targeted effort to admit more
students of that gender can help bridge the gender gap and foster diversity within those fields. 4.
Encouraging choice and autonomy: A key aspect of higher education is empowering
individuals to make choices that align with their interests and aspirations. By
accepting equal numbers of male and female students in every subject, there is a risk
of limiting students' autonomy and choice. Allowing for variations in admission
numbers can provide students with the opportunity to explore their interests,
pursue their passions, and choose academic paths that best suit their goals. disagree 1.
Gender equality and equal opportunities: Promoting equal representation of male
and female students in every subject helps ensure gender equality and provides
equal opportunities for all individuals. Universities have a responsibility to create an
inclusive and diverse learning environment where everyone has a fair chance to
pursue their interests and excel in their chosen field, irrespective of their gender. 2.
Overcoming stereotypes and biases: By actively striving for equal numbers of male
and female students in all subjects, universities can challenge societal stereotypes
and biases. Encouraging diverse participation in traditionally male-dominated or
female-dominated fields can help break down barriers, dismantle gender
stereotypes, and promote a more inclusive society. 3.
Nurturing collaboration and diverse perspectives: Having an equal mix of male and
female students in every subject promotes collaboration and fosters a range of
perspectives. Diverse groups with varied backgrounds and experiences contribute to
richer discussions, innovative problem-solving, and holistic learning. Equal
representation can help minimize the risk of a skewed perspective and create a more
balanced educational environment. 4.
Addressing underrepresentation and empowering minorities: Certain subjects may
suffer from underrepresentation of one gender due to historical biases or societal
expectations. By actively seeking to admit equal numbers of male and female
students in those subjects, universities can address these imbalances, empower
underrepresented groups, and create more opportunities for individuals who may
have faced systemic barriers in the past.
28. Children who are taught to co-operate rather than compete become more useful adults. 1.
Enhanced Social Skills: Cooperation teaches children how to effectively
communicate, collaborate, and work harmoniously with others. These social skills
are invaluable in adulthood, as they enable individuals to build positive relationships,
resolve conflicts, and contribute to group efforts. Cooperation fosters empathy,
teamwork, and the ability to navigate diverse perspectives, all of which are highly
beneficial in personal and professional settings. 2.
Strengthened Problem-Solving Abilities: Cooperative activities often require children
to work together to find solutions to challenges. This encourages critical thinking,
creativity, and the development of problem-solving skills. As adults, individuals who
have learned to cooperate are more likely to approach complex problems with an
open mind, seek input from others, and explore collaborative solutions. This mindset
contributes to their usefulness in finding innovative and effective ways to address various issues. 3.
Empowered Leadership Qualities: Cooperation fosters leadership qualities that are
based on empathy, inclusivity, and a focus on collective success. Rather than seeking
personal gain at the expense of others, cooperative individuals tend to prioritize the
needs and strengths of the group. These leadership traits are highly valuable in
professional environments, as they inspire trust, foster team morale, and facilitate
the achievement of shared goals. Useful adults who embrace cooperative values
often become effective leaders who promote collaboration and bring out the best in others. 4.
Improved Interpersonal Relationships: Cooperation nurtures positive relationships by
emphasizing mutual respect, support, and shared responsibility. Children who learn
to cooperate develop the ability to build and maintain healthy connections with
others. This extends into adulthood, where individuals with strong interpersonal
skills can form meaningful relationships, establish professional networks, and
navigate social dynamics effectively. Cultivating cooperative behaviors in childhood
sets the foundation for lifelong positive interactions, making individuals more
valuable contributors to their families, communities, and workplaces. disagree 1.
Realistic Preparation: While cooperation is important, the world we live in is highly
competitive. Teaching children to compete can prepare them for the realities of
adulthood, where competition exists in various aspects of life such as education,
career advancement, and personal achievements. By learning to compete, children
develop resilience, drive, and a strong work ethic, which can make them more
adaptable and successful in competitive environments. 2.
Individual Development: Competition encourages individuals to strive for personal
excellence and reach their full potential. It can motivate children to set ambitious
goals, push their boundaries, and continuously improve themselves. By focusing on
personal growth, children who learn to compete can develop unique skills and
talents that set them apart, making them valuable contributors to society as adults. 3.
Performance-Based Rewards: Competition often comes with a system of rewards
and recognition based on individual achievements. This can foster a sense of
meritocracy and motivate individuals to excel in their endeavors. In contrast, an
excessive emphasis on cooperation may downplay individual achievements, leading
to a lack of motivation and complacency in adults. Recognizing and rewarding
individual accomplishments can drive innovation, productivity, and specialization,
ultimately benefiting society as a whole. 4.
Preparation for Adversity: Life is full of challenges and obstacles that require
individuals to be resilient and self-reliant. Competition teaches children to face
adversity, overcome failures, and learn from setbacks. These skills are essential for
navigating the complexities of adult life, where individuals must often rely on their
own abilities and persevere through difficult circumstances. By learning to compete,
children can develop the determination and tenacity necessary to overcome
challenges and become useful adults who can handle the demands of the real world.

Embracing and effectively integrating technology in education can lead to better academic
outcomes, increased student engagement, and a more comprehensive learning experience. write disagree ChatGPT
While modern technology has undoubtedly brought advancements to the field of education,
I respectfully disagree that it has improved education standards considerably. Here are four
points to support my disagreement: 1.
Overdependence on Technology: One of the downsides of modern technology in
education is the risk of overdependence. Relying too heavily on technology can
hinder critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Students may become reliant on
quick internet searches for answers instead of engaging in deeper analysis and
research. Additionally, technical issues or lack of access to technology can disrupt the
learning process, creating inequities among students and hindering their educational progress. 2.
Distraction and Reduced Attention Span: The presence of technology in classrooms,
such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones, can lead to distractions and reduced
attention spans. Students may be tempted to engage in non-educational activities
like browsing social media, playing games, or messaging friends, which hampers
their ability to focus on the lesson. This can negatively impact learning outcomes and
undermine the effectiveness of educational technology in improving standards. 3.
Quality and Reliability of Online Information: While the internet provides a vast
amount of information, it is essential to critically evaluate its quality and reliability.
With the ease of publishing content online, misinformation and inaccuracies can
proliferate. Students may struggle to discern credible sources from unreliable ones,
leading to potential misunderstandings or the acceptance of false information.
Traditional educational resources, like textbooks and peer-reviewed journals, often
undergo rigorous scrutiny and quality control, ensuring a higher level of accuracy and credibility. 4.
Equity and Accessibility Concerns: While technology has the potential to enhance
education, it also exacerbates existing inequities. Not all students have equal access
to technology and reliable internet connections outside of school. This digital divide
creates disparities, with some students having limited exposure to educational
resources and opportunities. As a result, standards of education may not improve
uniformly across all socioeconomic backgrounds, perpetuating educational
inequalities rather than bridging the gap.
30. Formal examinations are the only effective way to assess a student's performance. 1.
Standardization and Objectivity: Formal examinations provide a standardized and
objective way of evaluating students. They typically follow a predefined structure,
testing students on a consistent set of knowledge and skills. This uniformity allows
for fair comparisons among students, ensuring that everyone is assessed on the
same criteria. Moreover, objective assessment criteria, such as multiple-choice
questions or structured marking schemes, minimize the potential for bias in evaluation. 2.
Content Coverage and Depth: Examinations often cover a wide range of topics and
subject matter, allowing educators to assess students' comprehensive understanding
of a subject. They can test knowledge, comprehension, application, and analytical
skills, providing a holistic evaluation of a student's performance. Formal
examinations are designed to assess the depth of knowledge and critical thinking
abilities by presenting challenging questions that require higher-order thinking skills. 3.
Preparation for Real-Life Challenges: Formal examinations simulate the pressure and
time constraints that students may encounter in real-life situations, such as
professional examinations or job-related assessments. By undergoing these
examinations, students develop essential skills like time management, decision-
making under stress, and the ability to organize their thoughts coherently. The
experience gained from formal examinations can better prepare students for future
challenges they may face in their academic or professional pursuits. 4.
Standardized Evaluation for Educational Institutions: Formal examinations provide a
standardized way of evaluating the performance of educational institutions, helping
to maintain accountability and quality control. By comparing results across different
cohorts and institutions, policymakers, administrators, and parents can make
informed decisions about curriculum development, teacher training, and resource
allocation. Formal examinations serve as a measurable benchmark for assessing the
overall effectiveness and performance of educational systems. disagree 1.
Limited Scope: Formal examinations often focus on testing students' ability to recall
and regurgitate information within a constrained time frame. This approach neglects
the development of important skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving,
creativity, and collaboration. Assessing students solely through formal examinations
overlooks their holistic growth and potential, as it fails to capture the breadth of their abilities. 2.
Stress and Anxiety: Formal examinations can create immense stress and anxiety for
students, potentially impacting their performance. The pressure to perform well in a
high-stakes, time-sensitive environment may hinder students' ability to showcase
their true capabilities. Some students may experience test anxiety, which can affect
their cognitive functioning and lead to suboptimal performance. Alternative
assessment methods that provide a more relaxed and supportive environment can
yield better results by allowing students to demonstrate their knowledge and skills more effectively. 3.
Limited Authenticity: Formal examinations often rely on artificial scenarios that do
not mirror real-world situations. In many professional fields, success depends on
practical application and the ability to solve complex problems, rather than the
ability to answer questions under exam conditions. Assessments like project work,
presentations, and simulations can better reflect the authentic challenges students
will face in their future careers, providing a more accurate measure of their abilities. 4.
Individual Differences: Students possess unique learning styles, strengths, and
weaknesses. Relying solely on formal examinations may disadvantage certain
