At the present time, the population of some countries includes a relatively large number of
young adults, compared with the number of older people.
Do the advantages of this situation outweigh the disadvantages?
Bài mẫu tham khảo
Nowadays, while some countries reveal the increasing ageing population, several ​nations
show the opposite trend when young people make up a higher proportion in the population
pyramid in comparison with the elderly. This status brings about several undeniable benefits,
but it is quite obvious that young population triggers more drawbacks.
There are certainly some positives coming together with the accelerating growth of the young
in demographic status. Firstly, well-nourished and well-educated young women and men can
bring unprecedented levels of growth and social progress to the region. They are physically
healthy and willing to work under a high pressure, which recently become the prerequisites
for outstanding productivity at work. Secondly, the young are born with willingness to learn
new things, encouraging them to adapt to non-stop changes in the world. For that reason, the
nation with a high number of youngsters will never lag behind technological revolutions.
However, I believe there are more potential repercussions when the young occupy a too high
proportion. If we do not invest enough in education for children and young people, criminal
activities will prevail. For instance, the adolescents and youth population in African countries
are increasing, but most of them are not offered enough education, explaining the booming of
drug smuggling or violence recorded there. Furthermore, young people are either financially
dependent on parents or at working age. This transition in demography puts more pressure on
IELTS THANH LOAN - ETRAIN ENGLISH CENTER
the economy because governments have to give financial support for children under 18 years
old or create enough employment opportunities for people at working age.
In conclusion, the domination of young people in population comes with several benefits, my
opinion is this demographic transition leads to more drawbacks.

“Many university students live with families while others live away from home because their
universities are in different places.”

or experience.

While some ​undergraduates living within short distances from the ​campus continue to
enjoy the comfort of their own home during higher education, ​outstation students have to
adapt to a new environment when entering university. From my own perspective, the
drawbacks of living with parents are ​overshadowed​ by its benefits.
On the one hand, living with families means that an undergraduate has to experience certain
disadvantages. First, it is an undeniable fact that the ​cocoon of a caring family may ​deter the
development a youngster’s ​autonomy​. Due to the ​meticulous care of their parents by
accommodating all the needs and assisting them to do all housework, students living with
their parents never learn how to take care of themselves or to be financially independent.
Second, they are less likely to be placed in situations that favor the development of
interpersonal skills and learning of harmony preservation between different personalities.
IELTS THANH LOAN - ETRAIN ENGLISH CENTER
This is because they have no chance to learn to ​acclimatize to a new living environment with
people of ​diverse​ characters.
On the other hand, I would ​contend that these demerits are offset by substantial benefits.
Firstly, a student is less ​susceptible to financial burden thanks to parental support. While
some students living away from home have to work part-time in order to pay for food and
rent a flat or a ​dormitory​, ones living at their own home have more time to study, which
facilitates them to achieve a higher ​attainment at university. Secondly, living with families
lowers the risk of falling victim of ​frauds and ​deception as parents are always willing to give
valuable advice and guide their children through difficulties.
In conclusion, although the comfort of living with families brings both advantages and
disadvantages for university students, I am of the opinion that being close to parents and
siblings creates a more favorable environment for university students to develop in
comparison with living outside.

Research shows that business meetings, discussions and training are happening online
nowadays. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
Bài mẫu tham khảo
It is true that there are an increasing number of businesses nowadays having their conferences
and training sessions held online. This trend has some potential drawbacks, but I believe that
these disadvantages are overshadowed by many positive impacts, as now will be discussed.
On the one hand, holding company conferences and staff training programmes on the Internet
can be disadvantageous in some cases. Firstly, this form of meeting relies heavily on the
strong connection of the Internet. Any breakdown or network congestion can interrupt the
discussion, resulting in the poor quality and outcome of the conference. Secondly, when it
comes to training courses of an enterprise, due to the lack of face-to-face communication and
the limited functions of some web conferencing software, trainees may encounter the
IELTS THANH LOAN - ETRAIN ENGLISH CENTER
difficulties in understanding online guides and instructions. Moreover, in some cases, the
engagement of trainees in the course cannot be guaranteed. As a result, the productivity and
improvement of the staff can be very limited.
On the other hand, I believe that the advantages of this trend can vastly outweigh its
disadvantages. The first benefit is that it can help businesses save unnecessary expenses on
arranging physical meeting rooms, training venues, conference papers or conference halls.
This budget can be better invested in other vital fields, turning into a profit for the company.
The second benefit of this trend is that it can help save time on traveling, especially when it
comes to multi-national corporations. Distance discussions undoubtedly help to save waiting
time on long-haul flights from one nation to another for a conference.
In conclusion, despite some adverse impacts, I still hold the opinion that virtual conferences
and online training courses can trigger more positives.

Some people think that good health is very important to every person, so medical service
should not be run by profit-making companies. Do the advantages of private health care
outweigh the disadvantages
Bài mẫu tham khảo
It is believed that the key to lead a happy life is to possess a good health, so healthcare
services should be provided by private hospitals or clinics rather than public ones. Despite
some positive impacts, I think that the domination of private medical services brings about
more adverse effects.
On the one hand, patients themselves benefit much from the policy of running profit-making
medical service. The initial point is that doctors and nurses in private ones cater for patients
more carefully and meticulously. Patients do not have to pass a long waiting list before being
medically examined and diagnosed. Also, private hospitals can offer more specialized care
and treatment and an excellent doctor-to-patient ratio. Another argument is this trend can also
IELTS THANH LOAN - ETRAIN ENGLISH CENTER
lead to a higher-quality healthcare service. In order to compete with others to make more
profit, those money-makers will employ well-qualified doctors and apply cutting-edge
medical equipment, and therefore, patients can make a quicker recovery from ailments or
severe diseases.
On the other hand, I would argue that the aforementioned advantages are overshadowed by
disadvantages. There still exist some immoral private hospitals or clinics that are driven by
the incentives to gain money rather than save people’s life. The employment of unskilled
doctors or careless nursesreduces their spending on salaries, but it may either put patients’
health in danger or even deprive their lives. For example, the Today News program on TV
informed many circumstances dying after minor operations due to over-dosed anesthesia in
some clinics. In addition, the private healthcare centres are often accused of overcharging, so
patients living in poverty are incapable of paying for this exorbitant fee. If medical care is all
run by non-public companies, many people have to live with diseases.
In conclusion, albeit positive to some extent, the domination of private hospitals has more
negative consequences.

People in the community can buy cheaper products nowadays. Do advantages outweigh
disadvantages?
Bài mẫu tham khảo
Currently, consumer goods become more ​affordable in many countries. Although the
proliferation of ​low – price goods has some advantages for both customers and national
economy, I believe that these positive impacts are ​overshadowed by many ​adverse
influences​, as now will be discussed.
On the one hand, the popularity of ​inexpensive products on market ​is of benefit​. Firstly,
people, ​regardless of their income or social class, can enjoy a more comfortable life since
they are able to own whatever they need. For instance, some kinds of ​cutting-edge
IELTS THANH LOAN - ETRAIN ENGLISH CENTER
smartphone such as Iphone, Oppo F5 or Galaxy S7 cost only under 10 million dong, so either
affluent or ​low-income people can possess one. Secondly, the production of more cheap
goods also ​boosts economic development since it encourages customers to buy more. The
higher consumer spending is allocated for ​purchasing​, the quicker the expansion of
companies or factories is to meet the increasing demands of consumers.
On the other hand, I believe that the disadvantages of affordable products’ ​inundation
outweigh its advantages. The initial drawback is that this trend will ​entail the decrease in
quality. To ​charge an ​undercutting price​, producers have to utilize inferior materials, and
buyers may suffer from its consequences. For example, hotdog, which is a common
inexpensive fast food, is believed to be made of ​rotten meat that endangers eaters’ health.
Another ​repercussion of this trend is the ​escalation of ​consumerism​. People ​chase after the
latest products released on market and are willing to throw usable ones away. Consequently,
many countries ​squander​ a ​tremendous​ amount of money for ​waste disposal​.
In conclusion, albeit beneficial to some extent, I argue that the ​omnipresent appearance of
inexpensive products has more ​detrimental​ effects on its quality and buyers’ behaviors.
