To be honest, I don’t think so Our system has somehow become unduly stressful, does not promote creativity and the ability to be critical due to the fact that our society still cares way too much about grades and schools consequently focuses on an exam-driven curriculum, which I find quite impractical (Possibly) Are you looking forward to working?

It is difficult to point out clearly the accurate reasons for that Perhaps, they may have had a negative experience in the past where their kindness was taken advantage of or not appreciated, leading to feelings of cynicism or mistrust, which make them hesitant to give a hand again to someone Alternatively, some people may have busy schedules Or there could also be cultural or societal factors that discourage people from helping others, such as individualism or competitiveness ● What are some ways that neighbors can help each other? One of the simplest ways is keeping an eye on each other's properties, such as watching out for suspicious activities or packages, especially when their neighbors are away from home They can also lend or borrow tools, share gardening or lawn equipment, or even help each other with household chores like cooking or cleaning Another way that neighbors can help each other is by providing support during emergencies, such as during a natural disaster or a medical emergency They can also offer to watch over each other's pets or children when needed, or even share meals or groceries with each other There are many ways that neighbors can help each other, I can not mention it all here but I believe that these acts of kindness and support can help to foster a strong and positive community spirit ● Do you think community spirit has increased (or improved) compared to years ago, or has it decreased? + Thơng tin khóa học Package online: https://ieltsngocbach.com/package + Thông tin lớp trực tiếp khai giảng sớm nhất: https://ieltsngocbach.com/offline + Hotline tư vấn đăng ký học: 0974657403 (email tư vấn: ieltsbach1707@gmail.com) 260 From what I can see and be told recently, community spirit has decreased In the past, people used to live in close-knit communities where they knew their neighbors and helped each other out However, with the growth of cities and modern lifestyles that are more fast-paced and stressful, people have become more isolated and self-focused So, nowadays, people are more likely to prioritize their own needs and goals over those of their community Besides, although the rise of technology and social media has made it easier for people to connect with others online, it has also reduced face-toface interactions and consequently, caused the fall of community connections However, I believe that there are still opportunities for people to foster a sense of community spirit From minor acts like participating in local events and volunteer work, joining community groups or organizations, and making an effort to get to know their neighbors ● How can people have good relations with their neighbours? I think having good relations with one's neighbors requires mutual respect, communication, and willingness to help one another So, let's try organizing community events or activities, being respectful of each other's privacy and property, and being open to sharing resources or helping each other out when needed From my view, it is not really a hot potato if we want to get on well with our neighbors ● What you think are the advantages of having good relations with one's neighbours? Let me think, firstly, it does create a sense of community and belonging, which is important for one's well-being Neighbors can look out for each other, help each other during emergencies, and even share resources such as tools and equipment In + Thơng tin khóa học Package online: https://ieltsngocbach.com/package + Thơng tin lớp trực tiếp khai giảng sớm nhất: https://ieltsngocbach.com/offline +

routine, plus my determination to better myself And up til now, it has been nearly a year since I went out for a daily walk at the crack of dawn (explain how you feel about it) After getting into this routine, I witnessed tremendous changes in my physical and mental health First, my morning walk has prevented me from sleeping in Instead of surfacing from bed at 12am, now I have the whole morning to finish my homework, and assignments and hang out with friends, which indirectly benefits my time management Secondly, this routine has helped me temporarily escape from the hustle and bustle of city life It is because there haven’t been motorbikes or cars so the atmosphere has been quiet and peaceful, and then I have been able to immerse myself in a tranquil atmosphere, finding peace of mind Last

In my opinion, the most important memory for children is their early childhood experiences with their family members This is because the family plays a crucial role in a child's upbringing and the memories they make together can shape their future Memories of parents or grandparents reading to them before bed or spending time together on family vacations can create a strong bond between family members, and these memories can last a lifetime For me, my most cherished childhood memory is when my family took a trip to the beach and we spent the whole day playing in the water and building sandcastles This memory reminds me of how much my family means to me and has influenced my relationships with them as an adult What should adults remember? + Thơng tin khóa học Package online: https://ieltsngocbach.com/package + Thông tin lớp trực tiếp khai giảng sớm nhất: https://ieltsngocbach.com/offline + Hotline tư vấn đăng ký học: 0974657403 (email tư vấn: ieltsbach1707@gmail.com) 270 I would say that adults should remember important events and milestones in their lives, as well as important lessons they have learned Memories of past successes and failures can help them make better decisions in the future or they can use them as opportunities for personal growth and self-improvement Adults should also remember the people who have had a positive impact on their lives, such as friends, family members, or mentors How can we improve our memories? There are several ways to enhance memory skills One method is to practice regularly, particularly through repetition and rehearsal This helps to strengthen the neural connections in the brain associated with memory, making it easier to recall information when needed Additionally, how about engaging in mentally stimulating activities such as puzzles, reading, and learning new skills? I think they can improve our memory as well Moreover, I also have read from some sources that adopting a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise, proper nutrition, and adequate sleep can also promote better memory function What can help us to remember our childhood memories? One of the most important factors is emotional significance Memories that are tied to strong emotions tend to be more vivid and long-lasting You know, that's why we have the saying: "Memories came flooding back" Storytelling can also help us to remember our childhood memories When we share our memories with others, it helps to solidify them in our own minds Additionally, hearing stories from others can also trigger memories and provide new perspectives on shared experiences To be honest, I have a memory like a sieve, however, whenever my mother tells me about the day I first attended primary school, every + Thơng tin khóa học Package online: https://ieltsngocbach.com/package + Thông tin lớp trực tiếp khai giảng sớm nhất: https://ieltsngocbach.com/offline + Hotline tư vấn đăng ký học: 0974657403 (email tư vấn: ieltsbach1707@gmail.com) 271 second in that story happens once more, and I feel like I can hear the voice of my old teacher again vividly Why you think some people can remember things easily? Maybe it is based on genetics Certain genes can affect a person's memory capacity and retention ability Another contributing factor is lifestyle habits such as diet, exercise, and sleep For instance, getting enough sleep and engaging in regular physical exercise can boost cognitive function, including memory retention Additionally, I have heard that some people have developed specific memory techniques or strategies that aid in their ability to remember things Moreover, I also believe that people who are more engaged in learning and have a greater interest in the subject matter tend to remember things more easily In other words, a person's motivation and attitude towards learning and memorization can have a significant impact on their ability to remember child's upbringing (phrase) : nuôi dạy Good parents always strive to provide the best for their child's upbringing Cha mẹ tốt cố gắng cung cấp điều tốt cho giáo dục họ last a lifetime (phrase) : trì, tồn suốt đời The memories of that trip will last a lifetime Những kỷ niệm chuyến tồn suốt đời milestones (n) cột mốc quan trọng Graduating from college was one of the biggest milestones in his life Tốt nghiệp đại học cột mốc quan trọng đời anh + Thơng tin khóa học Package online: https://ieltsngocbach.com/package + Thông tin lớp trực tiếp khai giảng sớm nhất: https://ieltsngocbach.com/offline + Hotline tư vấn đăng ký học: 0974657403 (email tư vấn: ieltsbach1707@gmail.com) 272 self-improvement (n) tự hoàn thiện He's been focusing on self-improvement by reading books and attending seminars Anh tập trung vào việc cải thiện thân cách đọc sách tham dự buổi hội thảo recall (v) nhớ lại I can't recall where I left my keys Tơi khơng thể nhớ để chìa khóa đâu stimulating (adj) kích thích Traveling to new places can be very stimulating for the mind Du lịch đến địa điểm kích thích tâm trí adopting a healthy lifestyle (phrase) thay đổi lối sống lành mạnh He's been adopting a healthy lifestyle by eating well and exercising regularly Anh áp dụng lối sống lành mạnh cách ăn uống điều độ tập thể dục thường xuyên adequate (adj) đầy đủ Make sure you have adequate sleep before the big exam Hãy chắn bạn có giấc ngủ đầy đủ trước kỳ thi quan trọng "Memories came flooding back" (idiom) ký ức ùa As soon as she entered her childhood home, memories came flooding back Ngay cô bước vào nhà thời thơ ấu mình, ký ức ùa 10 Storytelling (n) kể chuyện She has a talent for storytelling and can captivate an audience for hours Cơ có tài kể chuyện thu hút khán giả hàng liền + Thơng tin khóa học Package online: https://ieltsngocbach.com/package + Thơng tin lớp trực tiếp khai giảng sớm nhất: https://ieltsngocbach.com/offline + Hotline tư vấn đăng ký học: 0974657403 (email tư vấn: ieltsbach1707@gmail.com) 273 11 trigger (v) gợi nhớ The smell of fresh baked cookies always triggers memories of my childhood Tôi có trí nhớ sàng thường quên chi tiết quan trọng 12 have a memory like a sieve (idiom): có trí nhớ I have a memory like a sieve and often forget important details Tơi có trí nhớ sàng thường quên chi tiết quan trọng 13 vividly (adv) : cách sống động I vividly remember the day we first met Tôi nhớ rõ ngày gặp 14 retention ability (n) khả ghi nhớ Some people have a better retention ability than others Một số người có khả ghi nhớ tốt người khác 15 cognitive function (n) khả nhận thức Regular exercise has been shown to improve cognitive function Tập thể dục thường xuyên chứng minh cải thiện khả nhận thức 16 strategies (n) chiến lược She developed some strategies to help her study more efficiently Cô phát triển số chiến lược để giúp cô học tập hiệu + Thơng tin khóa học Package online: https://ieltsngocbach.com/package + Thơng tin lớp trực tiếp khai giảng sớm nhất: https://ieltsngocbach.com/offline + Hotline tư vấn đăng ký học: 0974657403 (email tư vấn: ieltsbach1707@gmail.com) 274
