Câu 2: Have your say! Today’s complaint is from Mr P. K. Lipton in Somerset and concerns news bulletins. News bulletins How often should we be given news updates on TV? Traditionally the viewing public has had fairly regular news updates on most major channels in comprehensive hour or half hour long programmes that bring us a range of different information and opinions about important newsworthy events from our own country and around the world. We all know the times of these programmes so we can choose what and when we want to watch. In addition to these news programmes there are, of course, the channels dedicated to 24-hour news coverage. What is putting my back up at the moment is a new supplement to the regular programmes – 60 second news bulletins, hourly during the evening. I imagine this has come about because the news bosses think we shall all be thrilled to get a news update every hour but I have to say that not everyone is enamoured of the new system – myself included! There are several reasons why I feel this way. Firstly, 60 seconds is a very short length of time and there are usually several major points they wish to tell us about. However talented the news presenters are, they cannot avoid sounding rushed as they try to read everything within the time limit. Because of this speed of delivery, you usually find that there is no time for any space between items. The result of this is that one item follows on immediately from another and there is no pause to indicate that one item has finished and another has begun. This can be both confusing and slightly amusing! Secondly, most evenings the news doesn’t change radically within an hour so the bulletins end up repeating the same items again and again. Sometimes there is a change in presenter in order to give the illusion of new news but in effect it is the same bulletin as an hour ago. Why bother? Thirdly, I consider this an intrusion into my evening’s viewing. Yes, news is important and I choose when I wish to watch it. When I sit down to watch a film or a soap opera, I want to relax. I do not want to be interrupted in this way. Even now, when I should be expecting it, the bulletins still come as a surprise and I half expect some terrible breaking news. Maybe I am a grumpy old man but in my opinion news has a time and a place and it’s not every hour while I’m trying to relax! Are the sentences true or false?

Do you agree? Why / Why not? Use the writing guide to help you. Paragraph 1: Introduce the topic. Paragraph 2: Outline your first argument.

Paragraph 3: Outline another argument. Paragraph 4: Give some of the arguments against your point of view. Paragraph 5: Summarise your opinions. Trả lời: Nowadays, making changes in society has always been a major concern for every nation. People think that it is never possible for an individual to influence change in society. In my opinion, I agree that these changes cannot be made only by an individual. Firstly, in order to enact a law, it endures many stages for a long time and it is formed from conducting all citizens’ opinion not from an individual. Therefore, it is the government of every nation that can make important changes in society. Secondly, a person is not powerful enough to do what he or she wants if there are not the others’ help. For example, when he wants to protect the environment, there are a lot of things to do such as planting trees, collecting garbage…Then, how can a person do all things by himself? Some people think that an individual can make changes. A youngster attains higher education and set an example in a society for others who have been demoralized in their life. Besides, a person should be helpful and kind to others and especially to those who are needy. In conclusion, in my opinion, it should be the prime responsibility of the government in making important changes in a society. The individuals should also be responsible in order to help society emerging from worse conditions and to make it a better place.
