*Version 1 Did you remember the first time you made your own money? It seems to me that it was a very important event when I was still a high school student. This experience left me a lesson in appreciating the value of money. I started my first job with a lot of difficulties and troubles. Surprisingly, it was a summer vacation as usual, but instead of choosing to go on a trip with my family, I decided to work part-time at a bakery where I had never been before. The owner of the bakery is a woman in her fifties. My main jobs there were that in addition to taking orders from customers and preparing food according to their requirements, I also had to clean the floor regularly to keep it in the best condition. Firstly, I worked according to her instructions but since I was a newcomer, so everything I did was still unprofessional. Due to the large number of customers, I was often overloaded, especially during rush hours. On one unfortunate time, I burned some breads and received a lot of complaints from my customer. In that moment, I just wanted to give up, but my mind told me to keep trying. Fortunately, I received timely help from my manager. She taught me wholeheartedly without any complaints. I felt very grateful to her because thanks to her supports, I regained my composure and motivation to continue working. In the following times, I worked more carefully. In my first month, I could not receive the salary, but I felt extremely happy because I had worked hard. Eventually, I understood that making money was not easy, so we needed to learn how to use money effectively.

This experience left me a lesson in appreciating the value of money. I started my first job with a lot of difficulties and troubles. Surprisingly, it was a summer vacation as usual, but instead of choosing to go on a trip with my family, I decided to work part-time at a bakery where I had never been before.

Topic: Write an essay about your unforgettable memory. "Goosebumps" was the feeling I got when I recounted the hide-and-seek game on a camping trip with my friends last year. It was a beautiful sunny day, and we decided to organize a picnic together to relax after a stressful working week. We have chosen a very suitable place to set up camp and organize recreational activities. When everything was in place, I suddenly realized that I had left my prepared lunch at home. I had to go back home to bring them to the camp to the anger of my friends. Fortunately, when I got back they were calm and helped me put my lunch on the table. While we was having lunch, we came up with an idea for the hide-and-seek game in the forest next to our campsite. Everyone was very interested until we couldn't find each other because the forest was too wide. I opened my phone to search for a way back, but it couldn't pick up the signal. It was also getting dark and cold by this time, which gave me goosebumps. I panicked and yelled for help. By chance, my phone was normally working back but I received a lot of missed calls from my friend. It turned out that they had returned to the camp and were already on their way to find me. About ten minutes later, they found me in a state of fear. I felt extremely happy at that moment and promised myself that I would never play this game, especially in a forest. Although we didn't do much, but the camping is a memorable one for us.

It was a beautiful sunny day, and we decided to organize a picnic together to relax after a stressful working week, which was also the beginning of a series of troubles.

An misunderstanding between yourself and someone else Introduction Hook: “A single moment of misunderstanding is so poisonous, that it makes us forget the hundred lovable moments spent together within a minute”. Background information: • This is even worse when it happens between two close friends who share a table in a classroom. • It was a misunderstanding between An and I when we were elementary school students. Thesis statement: The following will be a lesson about calm that I have learned from my own story.

Body Topic sentence: It was a class session as usual, when An opened his pen case and discovered that his beloved pen had mysteriously disappeared, which was the beginning of misunderstanding between us. Descriptive details: •

He searched and searched but still couldn't find the pen.

•

I helped him find it. He opened my pen case and discovered a similar one.

•

He hastily blamed me for being a thief without any specific evidence.

• I tried to explain that it was the pen I bought yesterday, and that it was just a coincidence. • He didn't trust me despite my explanation, he still made a fuss in front of the whole class. •

I felt so embarrassed and I cried.

• Suddenly, a friend walked up to An and gave him the pen back. She borrowed An's pen yesterday, but she forgot to return it. • An was surprised and he regretted. He apologized to me for this misunderstanding and I forgave him as well. •

Conclusion •

Version 2 “A single moment of misunderstanding is so poisonous, that it makes us forget the hundred lovable moments spent together within a minute”. This is even worse when it happens between two close friends who share a table in a classroom. The following will be a lesson about calm that I have learned from my own story. I still remember that it was a disastrous misunderstanding between me and my best friend An when we were in middle school. That was a class session as usual, when An opened his pen case and discovered that his beloved pen had mysteriously disappeared, which was the beginning of misunderstanding between us. Immediately, he searched and searched but he still couldn't find the pen. Afterwards, I helped him find it. Unfortunately, he opened my pen case and discovered a similar one. I was surprised that even though there was no obvious evidence, he accused me of being a thief. Simultaneously, I tried to explain that it was the pen I bought yesterday, and that it was just a coincidence. However, he didn't trust me despite my explanation, he still made a fuss in front of the whole class, which made me felt so embarrassed and I cried. Suddenly, a friend walked up to An and gave him the pen back. She borrowed An's pen yesterday, but she forgot to return it. An was surprised and he regretted. Moreover, he apologized to me for that misunderstanding and I forgave him as well. After that time, the trust we had for each other was no longer the same. I almost lost a best friend in less than ten minutes. I felt extremely furious with An, who I had always trusted and cherished, but finally I forgave. That was one of those unnecessary misunderstandings that I still remember to this day. It was essential to stay calm because "the mind is like

water. When it's turbulent, it's difficult to see. When it's calm, everything becomes clear" (Prasad Mahes)..

Topic: TV is bad for children. Do you agree or disagree? *Outline I)Introduction: - The hook: Today, with the development of science and technology, TV plays an essential role in each of our lives. - Background: Some believe that TV has negative effects on children while others have the opposite view. - Thesis statement: Personally, I totally agree with the second group because I know TV has a lot of benefits for children that I will list below. II)Body: - Topic sentence: - Examples/reasons: + Enhance their background knowledge about a variety of aspects: Through channels and programs about education, science... + Help them to be more active and improve their emotions: Through entertainment programs, sports... + Develop critical thinking: Express their opinions on topical issues - Counter-argument: Besides the advantages, there are disadvantages that children can face. If their parents allow them to watch TV uncontrollably, they will easily become addicted, even glued to the TV for many hours. In addition, watching non-selective programs, such as those that are violent or inappropriate for their age, will inadvertently cause children to display erroneous expressions in their behaviour. As a result, the child will gradually withdraw and not want to communicate with anyone, which is especially bad for children's mental health.

- Refutation: However, in addition to the child's self-consciousness, it is largely dependent on the upbringing of their parents. TV will not harm children if children are educated and instructed to use TV effectively. Moreover, they need supervision and support from their families so that watching TV brings more benefits to them. III)Conclusion: - Summary and comment: In conclusion, TV was invented to serve people and whether it is good or not depends on how you use it. Especially, if you have children at home, help them learn how to use TV effectively because TV is really useful for children.

*Version 1 Nowadays, with the development of science and technology, TV plays an essential role in each of our lives. Some believe that TV has negative effects on children while others have the opposite view. Personally, I totally agree with the second group because I know TV has a lot of benefits for children that I will list below. First of all, TV helps to enhance their background knowledge about a variety of aspects. Besides school time, children can learn a lot of new knowledge beyond what is already in books. Life skills such as cooking for example, cooking channels will guide children to cook simple dishes for themselves and their families. Besides, the discovery channels will bring useful information about the wonders of the world or ways to survive in special circumstances. Secondly, through sports or entertainment programs, children will be more active and their emotions will improve too. I have a little sister and she seems to be quite happy when she watches cartoon movies after eight hours of her classes and she also loves to dance like cartoon characters on TV. Thirdly, critical thinking will be formed. In fact, there will be times when children ask their parents questions about something they don't know on TV to find the anwsers. In case, if the answer is not satisfactory, children will respond with the knowledge they have learned outside. On the other hand, there are some disadvantages that children may face. If their parents allow them to watch TV uncontrollably, they will easily become addicted, even glued to the TV for many hours. In addition, watching non-selective programs, such as those that are violent or inappropriate for their age, will

inadvertently cause children to display erroneous expressions in their behaviour. As a result, the child will gradually withdraw and not want to communicate with anyone, which is especially bad for...
