TOPIC 1. THE INTERNET BAND 5+ BAND 7+

CÂU The Internet has dramatically changed our lives in recent times The Internet has brought significant changes to our lives in recent years.

• • • •

The Internet has dramatically altered our lives over the past few decades

TỪ/CỤM TỪ CẦN HỌC Change = alter (v): thay đổi Have brought significant changes to…: đã mang lại những thay đổi lớn cho… In recent years: trong những năm gần đây Over the past few decades: trong suốt vài thập kỷ trở lại đây

But people still disagree about whether the effect of the Internet has been good or bad. Yet, there remains some disagreement as to whether the overall effect of this technology has been positive or negative

• •

Yet = However: tuy nhiên There remains some disagreement as to: vẫn có một vài sự bất đồng ý kiến về việc gì.

First, most people would agree that the Internet has improved the way we communicate. First of all, it is an indisputable fact that the Internet has revolutionised the way we communicate.

•

Revolutionise (v): cách mạng hóa cái gì (=thay đổi cái gì cho tốt hơn). It is an indisputable fact that ….: Một thực tế không thể phủ nhận được rằng…

It is true that spending too much time using the Internet is dangerous because it can cause social problems. However, email and internet chat programs like MSN Messenger have helped most of us. Despite the risk of social isolation – a problem occasionally seen in people who spend too much time at their computer terminal rather than relating to people in the real world – most of us have benefited greatly from email and internet chat programs like MSN Messenger.

• • •

But I feel that this free movement of information has been a very positive trend. Nonetheless, I would contend that this free flow of information has generally been a very positive development.

•

• •

Despite + danh từ/cụm danh từ: mặc dù The risk of + danh từ/cụm danh từ: nguy cơ bị cái gì Social isolation: sự cô lập XH (do dùng internet nhiều thay vì đi ra ngoài gặp gỡ mọi người). Computer terminals: các thiết bị máy tính Have benefited greatly from…:đã hưởng lợi ích rất lớn từ cái gì.

Nonetheless = However: tuy nhiên The movement of … = the flow of …: sự chuyển động/ sự lưu thông của…

TOPIC 2. FAST FOOD Fast food is now much more widely available than it was 50 years ago. The past 50 years have seen a dramatic increase in the availability of fast food

•

Some people feel that this kind of food plays a positive role in the world because it is convenient and cheap. Some people believe that this kind of food has a positive role to play in the world because of its convenience and low cost.

• • • • • •

Play a positive role: đóng 1 vai trò tích cực Have a positive role to play: có 1 vai trò tích cực Convenient (adj): tiện lợi Convenience (n): sự tiện lợi Cheap (adj): rẻ Low cost (n): chi phí thấp

But I believe that this kind of food is bad for the people who eat it and also for society. However, I would argue that this kind of food is detrimental to both the individuals that consume it and to society at large.

• • •

I would argue that: tôi muốn tranh luận rằng… Tobe detrimental to…: có hại cho… Eat = consume: ăn/tiêu thụ

As everybody knows, fast food is very unhealthy. It is an undeniable fact that eating fast food to excess results in serious health problems.

•

It is an undeniable fact that: có 1 thực tế không thể phủ nhận được rằng…. Unhealthy (adj): không lành mạnh To excess: quá mức Result in(v): gây ra Serious health problems: các vấn đề sức khỏe nghiêm trọng.

Food like fried chicken, hamburgers and chips contain large amounts of fat and salt. They cause illnesses like high blood pressure, weight problems and heart disease. Foods such as fried chicken, hamburgers and chips which are incredibly high in fat and salt are responsible for such ailments as high blood pressure, obesity and hear diseas.

The past 50 years: 50 năm qua  dùng hiện tại hoàn thành. 50 years ago: cách đây 50 năm  Dùng quá khứ đơn Have seen a dramatic increase in…: đã nhìn thấy sự gia tăng đáng kể trong ….

Contain large amounts of: chứa lượng …rất lớn Tobe incredibly high in…:có hàm lượng …rất cao illness = ailment(n): bệnh tật Weight problems:các vấn đề về cân nặng Obesity (n): béo phì High blood pressure: cao huyết áp

TOPIC 3. INTERNATIONAL TOURISM International tourism has increased considerably in the last 50 years The past 50 years have seen a considerable increase in global tourism.

•

I now discuss two of the main problems caused by international tourism Two of the primary drawbacks associated with this trend are as follows

• •

The primary drawbacks: những hạn chế chính yếu associated with: gắn liền với

Because of only rich people have enough money to travel overseas, poorer countries like Thailand and Indonesia have become the playgrounds of richer ones. Since it is only the wealthy who can afford to travel abroad, developing countries like Thailand and Indonesia have become the playgrounds of tourists from more affluent ones.

• • • • •

Travel overseas/abroad: đi du lịch nước ngoài The playground: sân chơi Tourist (n): du khách More affluent: giàu có hơn Afford (v): có khả năng chi trả

In many of these countries, this increasing number of visitors (mostly from western countries) has caused problems like prostitution, alcoholism and drug abuse. In many such nations, this influx of mainly western tourists has brought with it problems such as prostitution as well as alcoholism and drug abuse.

• • • •

The influx of…: làn sóng …. Prostitution (n): mại dâm Alcoholism (n): nghiện rượu Drug abuse(n): việc lạm dụng thuốc (ma túy, các chất kích thích)

However, the damage that global tourism has caused to the environment in many places is even more worrying. Even more disturbing, though, is the environmental degradation that international tourism has caused in many parts of the world.

•

Even more disturbing, though, : thậm chí còn đáng lo ngại hơn nữa. the environmental degradation: sự thoái hóa môi trường

•

•

7

Have seen a considerable increase in…: đã nhìn thấy sự gia tăng đáng kể trong …. International tourism = global tourism: du lịch quốc tế

[email protected] They are certainly not impossible to overcome, but I believe that these problems will probably continue for some time. Although they are by no mean insurmountable, it is highly unlikely that they will be resolved in the foreseeable future.

https://www.facebook.com/ieltsfocusmode/ • • • •

8

Are by no mean insurmountable: không phải là không giải quyết được it is highly unlikely that: rất khó có khả năng…. Resolve (v): giải quyết in the foreseeable future = in the near future

TOPIC 4. IMMIGRATION First, if we want society to run smoothly, immigrants must follow the rules of their new country. Firstly, it is vitally important that newcomers observe the laws of their adopted country.

• • • •

Follow the rule: tuân theo quy định Observe the laws: tuân thủ pháp luật Immigrant = newcomers: những người nhập cư/mới đến It is vitally important = it is very important

So immigrants should follow the rules in their new country even if laws in their home country are different. It is, therefore, necessary for all immigrants to ensure that they obey the law in their new country regardless of any differences to laws in their home country.

• •

Obey the law: tuân thủ pháp luật Regardless of: bất kể, không kể đến

It is true that different cultures make a country more interesting, but I believe that too much difference makes it weak by making people feel that they do not fit in there. Of course, having a mixture of different cultures and traditions gives a country colour and vibrancy; however, I would contend that too much cultural diversity undermines a society by alienating people from each other.

• • • • • •

Fit (v): phù hợp A mixture of….: sự kết hợp/hòa trộn… Vibrancy: sự sống động Cultural diversity: sự đa dạng văn hóa Undermine sth: làm suy yếu cái gì Alienate people from each other: làm người ta xa lánh nhau.

I believe that things we have in common bring us together, but differences pull us apart It is my belief that similarities unite people, whereas differences have a tendency to divide.

• • • • • •

Unite (v): gắn kết Similarities (n): sự giống nhau Divide (v): chia rẽ Have in common: có điểm chung Pull s.th/sb apart: chia rẽ thứ gì/ai đó Bring s.th/sb together: mang cái gì/ai đó lại gần nhau

I think this question will be even more important in the future because the lines between countries are slowly disappearing.

• •

Border (n): đường biên giới Blur (v): mờ đi

I believe that this issue is likely to become even more important in the future as borders between countries become increasingly blurred.

TOPIC 5. JOBS AND GENDER There are many different opinions about whether or not men and women are equally good at all jobs. There are a variety of different perspective on the question of whether or not men and women are equally good at all jobs.

•

Perspective (n): quan điểm, ý kiến

Some people with more traditional view think that women should do some jobs and men should do others, but I believe that both men and women can do any job well. While some still hold to the conservative view that certain jobs are better performed by men and others by women, it is my personal belief that people of either sex are capable of doing any job effectively.

• • • •

Hold to the conservative view that: giữ quan điểm bảo thủ rằng… Perform (v): thể hiện People of either sex: người bất kể giới tính nào Tobe capable of + V-ing: có khả năng làm gì

First, we should not base our opinions on traditional ideas about men and women because these ideas are often wrong. First of all, I believe it is a mistake to base our views on broad generalisations about the characteristics of men and women as such stereotypes are often inaccurate.

• • • • • • •

View (n): quan điểm It is a mistake to: thật sai lầm khi …. Base A on B: đặt A dựa vào B. Generalisations: những khái quát chung chung The characteristics of…: những đặc điểm của… Stereotype(n): khuôn mẫu Inaccurate (adj): không chính xác

If a man wants to do a job which is usually done by women or a woman wants to do a man’s job, I think he or she should be given a chance to show that he or she can do it. If a woman desires to persue a career which is traditionally reserved for the opposite sex or vice versa, I believe that he or she should be provided the opportunity to prove him/herself capable.

• •

Persue a career: theo đuổi một sự nghiệp Be given a chance to…. = be provided the opportunity to…: được cung cấp cơ hội để làm gì The opposite sex: người khác giới Vice versa: ngược lại. Prove oneself capable: chứng minh mình làm được.

• • •

Instead of seeing these differences as weaknesses, I believe we should see them as chances to find new and better ways to work. Rather than judging these differences to be weaknesses, I feel that we should view them as opportunities for innovation and the discovery of more effective and efficient work practices.

https://www.facebook.com/ieltsfocusmode/

• • • •

12

See s.th as…=view s.th as…: xem xét/đánh giá cái gì như là…. Chance = opportunity(n): cơ hội Innovation (n): sự sáng tạo, đột phá The discovery of (n): sự khám phá ra cái gì

[email protected]

TOPIC 6. CIGARETTE SMOKING One thing that I think is very important is that tobacco is a drug. One point which I believe to be absolutely pivotal is the fact that tobacco is a drug.

•

Absolutely pivotal: cực kỳ then chốt

This is especially true because doctors could use some illegal drugs, like heroin and marijuana, to treat sick people if they were not banned. This is particularly so given the fact that some currently illicit drugs – including heroin and marijuana – have legitimate medical applications while tobacco has none.

• • •

Marijuana (n): cần sa Treat (v): chữa trị have legitimate medical applications: có các ứng dụng y tế hợp pháp illicit drugs : thuốc bất hợp pháp

But may be the best reason to ban smoking is that it is bad for our health. However, perhaps the strongest argument in favour of banning cigarettes and other tobacco products is that of public health.

•

It is a proven fact that smoking causes lung cancer and other serious illnesses. It is an irrefutable fact that smoking leads to lung cancer and other such potentially fatal diseases.

•

So I think that there are a number of very good reasons to ban smoking. Hence, I feel that laws prohibiting smoking would be entirely justified.

• •

Ban = prohibit (v): cấm Be entirely justified: hoàn toàn hợp lý

Of course, the fact that smoking probably will not be banned for many years to come. In reality, of course, the widespread prohibition of smoking is unlikely in the near future.

• •

In reality: trong thực tế The widespread prohibition of…: lệnh cấm …rộng rãi

•

• •

•

13

cigarettes and other tobacco products: thuốc lá và các sản phẩm thuốc lá the strongest argument in favour of: Luận cứ mạnh mẽ nhất cho việc gì public health: sức khỏe cộng đồng It is an irrefutable fact that: một sự thật không thể phủ nhận được rằng… Potentially fatal diseases: các bệnh có nguy cơ chết người

[email protected]

TOPIC 7. ENDANGERED SPECIES Some people say that we should let these animals die out just like the dinosaurs did because they are not useful, but I think they should be saved. Despite the arguments of some people that such animals serve no useful purpose and should be allowed to die out just as many othes (including the dinosaurs) have in the past, it is my personal belief that they should in fact be preserved.

• • •

When an animal disappears or a new one is introduced, it disturbs the balance of nature and negatively affects other plants and animals by breaking the food chain and changing their natural environment. The disappearance or introduction of any animal species disrupts the balance and adversely impacts other plants and animals by breaking the food chain and altering the habitat in which they live.

• • • • • • •

The disappearance of…: sự biến mất của… The introduction of….: sự xuất hiện của…. Disrupt the balance: làm gián đoạn sự cân bằng Negatively affect … = adversely impact…: ảnh hưởng tiêu cực đến… Break the food chain: phá vỡ chuỗi thức ăn. Change = alter: thay đổi Habitat (n): môi trường sống

Imbalances like this often come back and cause unexpected problems in the future. Such imbalances frequently return to haunt us in unexpected ways.

• • •

Imbalance (n): sự mất cân bằng Haunt (v): làm ám ảnh Unexpected (adj): bất ngờ, không đoán trước được

Clearly, we should save endangered species because environment change is dangerous to us and also to the world we live in. Since ecological change constitutes a potential risk to us and our environment, it is clearly our own interest to protect endangered species.

• •

Ecological change(n): sự biến đổi sinh thái Constitute a potential risk to…: gây ra các nguy cơ tiềm ẩn cho… Save = protect(v): bảo vệ

•

•

14

Die out = disappear (v): biến mất Dinosaur (n): khủng long Serve no useful purpose: không có mục đích hữu ích nào Preserve (v): bảo tồn

[email protected] Also, because we are destroying the homes of many rare animal species, we should try to save them. Further, given that humans are responsible for destroying the natural habitat of many endangered animals, we should make every possible effort to save them

https://www.facebook.com/ieltsfocusmode/ • • •

15

Be responsible for: chịu trách nhiệm cho việc gì Natural habitat (n): môi trường sống tự nhiên Make every possible effort to…: thực hiện mọi nỗ lực để…

TOPIC 8. RURAL DEPOPULATION It is surprising to note that cities often experience the most serious effects of migration away from the country. Surprisingly, the most serious consequences of rural depopulation are often felt in urban areas.

•

Cities everywhere are having more and more environmental problems like air, water and noise pollution because they are overcrowded. As a result of overcrowding, cities throughout the world today are increasing prone to environmental issues such as air, water and noise pollution.

•

Overcrowding in cities also caused problems like high unemployment and crime. Further, the uncontrolled growth of cities also gives rise to social problems such as high unemployment, crime and in less affluent countries, the creation of slums.

• • • • •

Give rise to = cause: gây ra The uncontrolled growth of…: sự phát triển không kiểm soát của… Less affluent countries: những nước kém phát triển The creation of…: việc tạo ra…. Slum(n): nhà ổ chuột

If we want to prevent people from moving to the city we must resolve the causes of the problem. In order to stem the tide of rural depopulation, I believe we must first address its root causes.

• • •

Stem the tide of….: ngăn chặn dòng chảy của…. Root cause: nguyên nhân gốc rễ Resolve = address(v): giải quyết

The main cause of the problem is that services and facilities in the country are different from services and facilities in the city. At the heart of the matter is the disparity between services and facilities in the country and those in the city.

•

At the heart of the matter is…: trọng tâm của vấn đề là… The disparaty between A and B: sự chênh lệch giữa A và B Services and facilities: các dịch vụ và tiện ích

One other way to get people to live in the country would be for the government to give money to companies and workers who move to the country One further method of attracting people to the country would be for the government to provide financial

•

16

Surprisingly = it is suprising to note that: đáng ngạc nhiên là Consequence (n): hậu quả Rural depopulation: sự suy giảm dân số nông thôn urban areas: các khu vực thành thị.

Tobe increasing prone to: ngày càng bị ảnh hưởng bởi As a result of…: bởi vì

Provide financial incentives to…: cung cấp các trợ cấp về tài chính cho…. Willingly (adv): sẵn sàng làm gì Rural areas = the countryside (n): khu vực nông thôn

[email protected]

https://www.facebook.com/ieltsfocusmode/

incentives to businesses and professtional workers who willingly relocate to rural areas.

UNIT 9. DISTANCE WITHIN MODERN FAMILIES Divorse and family breakdown were very unusual in the past. Divorse and family breakdown were virtually unheard of just 100 years ago.

• • •

Be virtually unheard of: hầu như chưa từng xảy ra Divorse (n): cuộc chia tay Family breakdown (n): sự tan vỡ gia đình

The modern way of life is the main cause of this problem. Chief among the causes of this problem is the modern lifestyle.

• •

Way of life = lifestyle: lối sống Chief among the causes of this problem is: nguyên nhân chính yếu của vấn đề này là….

However, double income families have become more common recently. Recently, though, double income families have become the norm.

• •

Double income families: gia đình có hai nguồn thu nhập Become the norm = become more common.

So more and more children grow up without their parents at home. Consequently, an increasing number of children now grow up in a parentless environment.

• •

Parentless environment: môi trường không có cha mẹ Consequently: hậu quả là

So it is not surprising that they do not feel close to their families. Little wonder, then, that they feel alienated from their families.

• •

Little wonder: ít thắc mắc rằng feel alienated from their families: cảm thấy xa lạ với gia đình

One other cause of this problem is modern entertainment. Another contributing factor is the passive and solitary nature of many modern forms of entertainment.

• •

Another contributing factor is: một yếu tố khác là…. The passive and solitary nature of….: tính thụ động và cô lập của…. modern forms of entertainment: những hình thức giải trí hiện đại.

TOPIC 10: DECLINING EDUCATIONAL STANDARDS The falling quality of education is a very important matter in the world today. The issue of falling educational standards is of great importance in the world today.

• • •

Education standards: những tiêu chuẩn giáo dục The quality of education: chất lượng giáo dục Tobe of great importance: cực kỳ quan trọng

If students spend more time learning to paint, they spend less time learning to read. The more time a student spends learning how to paint, the less time they spend learning how to read.

•

The more time sb spends V-ing, the less time sb spends V-ing: thời gian càng nhiều dành cho việc này, thời gian càng ít dành cho việc kia.

Many people in the world today believe that the quality of education is falling. There is a widely held perception in many parts of the world today that educational standards are in decline.

• •

There is a widely held perception that…:có 1 nhận thức rộng rãi rằng… Tobe in decline: đang bị suy giảm

In my opinion, what prevents students from learning in schools today is that they are not disciplined. From my perspective, one of the most significant obstacles to learning in schools today is lack of discipline.

• • •

prevent sb from V-ing: ngăn cản ai đó làm gì lack of s.th: việc thiếu cái gì obstacle (n): chướng ngại, thử thách

These subjects are interesting. However, they just prevent students from concentrating on more important and practical subjects like mathematics and English. Interesting though they may be, these subjects simply serve to distract students from more important and practical subjects like mathematics and English.

• •

Concentrate on: tập trung vào cái gì Distract sb from…: làm sao nhãng ai đó khỏi cái gì
