Writing Task 2 (essays) Topic: Love and Marriage

I wrote this entry on Yahoo 360 one year ago. This is just kind of discussion, not an essay. However, you can learn from the way I brainstorm ideas.

Topic 1: Marriage In some countries, marriages are arranged by the parents but in other cases, people choose their own marriage partner. Discuss both systems and give your own opinion. (Lu : y l thi tht)

Bn c th bo v hn nhn t nguyn ca mnh bng cch bi bc, ch bai, thm ch chi ra phe kia (just kidding): One of the usual questions against an arranged marriage is that how can you get married with somebody you do not know. Knowing somebody before marriage allows partners to have better respect and understanding for each othes's needs and desires. This way they are better adjusted in the marriage. Therefore, love marriage is usually thought to be suitable with today's society and human's right. , t nhin qun vit ting Anh lun k. Thui k, cng d hu m hn.

Writing task 1 (lesson 1)
________________________________________________________________
Task 1 requires you to write at least 150 words to respond to a particular graph. There are five types of graph: Line graph, Bar chart, Pie chart, Table and Process (Diagram). You should spend no more than 20 minutes on this task.
When you do the Writing Task 1, you should follow these steps: Step 1: Read and understand the task in 2 minutes. Step 2: Plan what you are going to write within 5 minutes. You should make notes in this step. Step 3: Write your anser on the Answer Sheet within 12-13 minutes. Step 4: Check your writing .only if you have time left In fact, most of you do not have enough time to do this step. However, if you do, only check grammar and vocabulary.
Most of students have trouble with writing the introduction. Here are some phrases you can use to write your introduction: The graph/table illustrates/reveals/represents/indicates ...
You should include your overview of the graph in the introduction too. Some students may write the overview of the information in the conclusion. I'm afraid that you do not have enough time to write your conclusion, so why don't you put it in the introduction? Following are some phrases to start your overview sentence:
It is clear form the graph that...
As can be seen from the graph, ...
As is shown by the graph,...
Note that you should not use personal pronouns in your writing task 1 and avoid using the phrase: 'according to the graph.

Argumentative essay
Outline - Introduction - Body 1 : first point (better side) + supporting sentences + example - Body 2 : second point + supporting sentences + example - Body 3 : contrary side + attack + example for explanation - Conclusion
Introduction : Raise topic + Your view Starting paragraph : Rephrase the topic and State what is required - There is an increasingly growing popular idea that Rephrase the topic. - There is a popular claim that Rephrase the topic.
- I believe this contention (s tranh lun) makes sense .. - I believe in the truth of this statement .. - I strongly support the idea that .. - It is my firm belief that .. - I am of the opinion that ..
- .. for reasons I will outline below. - .. and this essay will tackle the most important reasons why .. - .. and I will give the reasons to prove so in this essay.
OR
- Asking a question (the very simplest)
Eg 1 : Should university students be obligated/required to cover the whole cost of their studies ? In my opnion/view, this level of education should/shouldnt be free for the following reasons.
Eg 2 : Do all the technologies available to individuals today have greater advantages than disadvantages ? I firmly believe if properly used/exploited (khai thc), all of them have much greater benefits than harms.
OR - Criving relevant or Striking or Sensational facts/statistics Cch m bi gy n tng mnh m, git gn
Eg : In Germany, Finland, and some others European countries, higher recent years, three countries have seen drops in their academic standards. It is, therefore, suggested that student should be obligated to pay for their own studiess. I agree/disagree this statement/opinion for several reasons.
OR - whether or not
Eg 1 : Whether or not good quality products could sell themselves without advertising is a controversial question. Some people would say yes, arguing that quality is of paramount importance. Others, however, claim that quality alone is not enough to ensure in large quantities. Personally, I am better convinced of the latter/former view.
Eg 2 : Whether or not the current direct contact mode of teaching seen in all level of education today will have become history by 2050 is a question of much controversy. Supporter of this conventional (tp qun, thi quen) teaching method claim that it still will be of value by then. However, many people, myself included, believe that another, more techonogy based mode of teaching will replace it.

- Another point I would like to make is that - We should also recognize the fact that - It is also important to realize that
- For example, - To prove my point, - Let us take the case of - A good case in point would be - .. would be an example worth mentioning.
Body 3 : Counter Argumentation : Other side + Attack + Example - Granted (gi d rng), it is true that - Of course, there is no deny the fact that - Admittedly (phi cng nhn rng), it could also be said that - I would not go so far as to deny that - Some people continue to claim that
- Still (hn na), I would like to emphasize that . - However, I still stand by what I said that . - I reiterate (nhc li rng) however that - Nonetheless, it is more important to remember that - What they must realize is that - The above arguments convince me that
Conclusion : Summarize + Restate opinion/topic - In conclusion/To conclude, - Therefore, - To sum up, - In short,
- After discussing all the points mentioned above, I can finally conclude that - It is therefore safe to say, considering all the factors given, that - All in all, regardless of the points to the contrary, it can be concluded that - Generally speaking then, it is clear that - Considering all arguments put forward, I have arrived at the conclusion that

Outline - Introduction - Body 1 : Ad 1 + Ad 2 + Example - Body 2 : Ad 1 + Ad 2 + Example - Conclusion
I. Introduction Starting paragraph : Rephrase the topic and State what is required - It cannot be denied that - It is an indisputable (khng bn ci) fact that - In recent times, the general tendency has been that - The prevalence (s ph bin/thnh hnh) of has been a growing cocern in the past few years. - Its quite common today for
Introducing Ad & Disad : Neutral, Sitting at a fence (trung lp) - Like in everything else, there are undoubtedly two sides to this issue - The pros and cons of this issue have been much debated upon - There are certainly some benefits as well as drawbacks to this scenario - This situation has surely carried along with it both advantages and disadvantages. - In my opinion, while there have certainly have been positive consequences to this development, the inconveniences it has brought about should not be overlooked (forgetted, ignored)
Closing the paragraph/introducing body - and both will outline below. - and this essay will tackle (gii quyt) the most important ones. - and this essay aims to highlight both.
OR - whether or not Rephrase the topic is a controversial question. Supporters of this main topic claim that State what is
required. However, many other people, believe that another, State what is required. Each of these views has its own
merit.
II. Body Ad 1 : Topic sentence : Transitional device + Topic + Ad + Explaination (supporting sentences) - There are strong/plausible reason for supporting the former view. First, the opinion/idea of Main topic stands to reason. To begin with, Supporting idea sentence - The most obvious benefit gained from this change is - A very common gain of these circumtances is - For starters, one positive outcome of this is
Ad 2 : Topic sentence : Transitional device + Topic + Ad + Explaination (supporting sentences) - Another valuable result of this is - This scenario could also be favorable in terms of (v mt) - I shouldnt forget to point out how this change could bring about the positive consequence (h qu) that
Example - This could be exemplified (minh ha bng v d) by - As evidence of this, - Let me take as an proof/example
Disad 1 - Of course, there are also strong arguments in favour of (c li cho) the latter view/opinion/idea. One is that - Nevertheless, the idea of disad is also well-grounded (ng tin cy, c c s, c da trn thc t, c chng minh). For one reason, - Of course, the primary weakness of this suggestion is that - On the other hand, this change could be detrimental (bt li) in terms of - Regardless of these advantages, one negative outcome that needs to be addresses (talk about) is - However, we should not turn a blind eye on the expected undesirable outcomes, one of which is the
Disad 2 - To make matters worse, this scenario could also - Another threat worth preparing for is - . is another dangerous possibility.
Example - A good case in point would be - This could be proven by the fact that - would serve as an excellent example.
III. Conclusion - In conclusion, it is clear that while this development has ensured several necessary changes, it has also made society vulnerable (mong manh d v) to some unplesant ones. - I would like to conclude by saying then that society needs to be aware of both positive and negative consequences before any action that can alter the status quo (gi nguyn hin trng) will be taken. - To sum up, it is imperative (bt buc) to thoroughly examine (xem xt trit ) both strengths and weaknesses of this suggestion before it can be applied.
Discuss both views and give your opinion
Cch 1 Intro : A > B Para 1 : Your side Para 2 : Other side Attack Conclusion : A > B - On balance, I am better convinced that - Both side examined, I am in favour of the view that
