Topic: Modern Technology & Internet - part 3

Sample answer

(Liệt kê một loạt món đồ công nghệ, sau đó nói cụ thể về một món)

In most workplaces, people use equipment such as computers, phones, printers, fax machines and photocopiers. I think the computer is probably the most essential piece of equipment because we rely on it for almost everything: communicating by email, writing reports, organising data, and finding information on the Internet.

Sample answer

(Nói về các điểm tích cực, VÀ sau đó các điểm tiêu cực)

Technology definitely helps workers because it makes many tasks so much easier. For example, email is such a useful tool for communication between employees in different offices, or even in different countries. On the other hand, technology can make life more difficult, especially when it goes wrong. It causes a lot of stress when the Internet is down or when a computer is broken.

Sample answer

(Nói về các tác động tốt VÀ sau đó nói đến các tác động xấu)

I think technology is often responsible for people losing their jobs. Machines have replaced people in areas like manufacturing and agriculture, and whenever a new technology is introduced, there are redundancies. At the same time, jobs might be created thanks to a new technology; there would be no computer programmers if the computer hadn't been invented.

Sample answer

(Áp dụng phương pháp tư duy theo khía cạnh để brainstorm ý tưởng cho câu trả lời)

Personal perspective (khía cạnh cá nhân):

I think the Internet will have a huge impact on our lives. More and more people are using social websites to keep in touch with friends. I think the Internet will probably replace TV because most channels are already available online.

Economic perspective (khía cạnh kinh tế):

Also, I think we'll do more online shopping. Web-based companies like Amazon are already really successful. In the future, there will probably be more companies that only sell via the Internet, and I expect we'll spend more money online than in traditional shops.

Educational perspective (khía cạnh giáo dục):

Schools and universities might also use the Internet to provide courses, so online learning will probably become a normal part of life.

Sample answer

I can tell that most households in Vietnam have at least one computer. It is clear that nowadays everyone needs to go online. Although the level of dependency on the computer will vary in different jobs and personal needs, this piece of equipment has become very fundamental. Also, the price of a basic computer is not expensive so a household from the lower middle class can afford to buy one. 

Sample answer

No, I don't think so. The Internet is a very open world in which everyone can post anything that they want other people to see. So, the information showed on the internet can be incorrect or subjective. In addition, there is no general online mechanism for information verification so people should be very sceptical when they read any information on the internet.
