Fairytales
When I was a little girl fairytales was great for me. I love all the adventures and the movies .The Stories was always so exited to me with the magic and the Mystery.But the best is the romantic with the beautiful dresses and balls.My favourite part was always when they come together and married.I mean in the real life it takes more than a adventure or dance.The real life is difficult and sometimes sad or mean.In the fairytales is it love on the first met and some.Sometimes I wish the live is as a fairytale with magic. When I was little I wish I have magical powers.But all that I can do it is to give my best.Then I can wait for a miracle. Yourself make a miracle.

Should the voting age be lowered?
Voting is a natural human act since the establishment of civilizations around the world. At the same time, election is one of the most important concepts in democratic societies, since each individual's opinions are different and they decide most things by election in politics. Due to this importance, it has been discussed in recent years that the voting age should be lowered from 18 to 16 in many democratic countries. While many people think that young people are not mature enough to vote, in my opinion there are many positive aspects in this situation.
First of all, young people have stronger roots in society. However, despite these deep roots, young people are not actively represented in politics. They do not have a say in matters that directly concern them such as education. However, regardless of their ages, young people can overcome many different tasks with ease. Besides education, they are actively involved in many jobs as interns or employees or they can be pioneers in many scientific researches. This shows that young people are mature enough to have a say in politics as adults.
On the other hand, democracy means equal representation of all individuals. However, although young people have to obey the laws, they couldn’t involved in the law-making process. This causes young people to feel that their ideas are worthless, and as a result, young people become indifferent to social and economic issues. For these reasons, lowering the voting age and giving young people the right to vote will enable them to be more active and responsible individuals in all areas of society. In addition to this, the voting of young people also increases the turnout rate in the elections. This means that the more people vote in the election, the more democratic results will occur in the election.
In conclusion, although many people think that young people are mature enough to vote, voting by young people brings many positive benefits to society. By voting, young people become more sensitive and relevant individuals for the society and they feel more closely connected with the society. However, the turnout in elections increases and states are governed with more democratic results.

The Effects of Deforestation
The reading and the lecture are both about deforestation. Whereas the author provides three benefits of cutting down trees, the lecturer disputes each reason explained in the article.
Firstly, the article suggests that the clearing of large areas of land achieved by deforestation can be used for farming purposes. In the short term, this allows people to cultivate and harvest enough food for every individual and thus the forestry industry tremendously impacts economy. This specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. He argues that the author has not considered long term consequences of these reckless actions. For instance, the majority of Rainforests in Brazil have been cut down, and therefore this ecosystem is in risk of disappearing. The lecturer asserts that there are other types of farming which do not endanger the ecosystem at such scale. He mentions that Hydroponic farming can produce a substantial amount of food, and it would leverage the advantages of technology.
Secondly, not only are cleared areas used for farming, but they are also considered as residential places, asserts the author. Nevertheless, the lecturer mentions that, even if the cleared surfaces are used for new residential areas, deforestation notoriously impacts an ecosystem by causing animal displacements. Moreover, he says that 20% of the oxygen is produced by Rainforests. As a result, deforestation is reducting the amount of breathable air since many individuals are trying to get more money selling houses in the cleared lands. This directly contradicts what the passage indicates.
Finally, the writer suggests that forestry industry is a huge part of many national economies like Brazil, Thailand, and Indonesia. However, the speaker asserts that the beforementioned nations are developing countries and hence they are paging low wages to the employees, while abusing them. Thus, neither employees nor national economies are being benefited by this industry.
To conclude, the lecturer completely differs with the arguments given throughout the reading.

Traducción 12
El cambio climático y el calentamiento global aumentan la posibilidad y la fuerza del fuego incontrolado. Además de tener perdidos de vida, edificios y animales en las zonas desarrolladas en el mundo, otras zonas también se podrían impactar con la extensión del fuego incontrolado. Los pobres han sido a menudo más impactos por el calentamiento global, porque normalmente dependen más de los recursos naturales.
Especialmente en los países en desarrollo, el ingreso de la mayoría de de la gente depende de los recursos forestales. El gran fuego incontrolado podría causar catástrofe. El smog del fuego incontrolado causaría la contaminación del aire, provocando la acidificación del lago. Si el fuego incontrolado extendiese a la ciudad o su alrededor, rompería las instalaciones como el cable de la electricidad , la base de comunicación y los edificios. Además de traer directamente el sufrimiento a la gente, el fuego incontrolado también causa que la gente pierda su casa, sufriendo estrés y dolor. Sin embargo, la forma de vida de la gente con lujosa, consumir los recursos naturales y la contaminación sobre el calentamiento global, todos aceleran el calentamiento global, causando que suceda el fuego in controlado más frecuentemente.

Companies vs Human Rights
Prompt: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Businesses should do anything they can to make a profit.
Nowadays companies appear to respect human rights far more than 30 or 40 years ago. Notwithstanding, a tremendous quantity of entreprises are mistreating their employees and dealing with unethical practices which are affecting millions of people everyday. Thus, I strongly believe that business have the ethical obligation of being absolutely transparent with their practices and not doing anything they can to make a profit.
To begin with, a substantial amount of questionable business practices directly affect human beings. For instance, it is a well-known fact that there are many prominent companies outsourcing many of their activities to underdeveloped countries. Not only do they pay them less for the same amount of work, but these firms also treat these employees poorly. This particular situation leads to unprecedented human rights violations within the workspaces provided by these unethical businesses. One of such cases took place throughout the recent FIFA World Cup in Qatar, since senior managers were bribed and blackmailed to gloss over many shady practices withing the organization. This situation ended up in people dying during the construction of all the stadiums needed for the world cup, as they were forced to work under inhuman conditions.
In addition, such firms that do anything in their power to obtain profits, are more likely to deal with consequences for their actions. The cases of lawsuits to companies abound, as bans to many firms have exponentially increased in recent years. Such is the case of Teleperformance, a company focused in the call-center industry, which is now dealing with a lawsuit in Colombia, since this giant firm is underpaying their employees, and yet it is demanding a notorious amount of work.
Finally, unethical actions are also dangerous for those who commit them. For instance, I have personally seen the case of individuals who get brutally injured or even murdered because they were dealing with mafias or guerrilas. It is noticeable that they were heavily affected by their selfish desire of getting an unfair advantage over their competitors.
To conclude, unethical practices in giant companies affect innocent human beings. That said, business owners and the firm itself can suffer major losses. Finally, it appears that dealing with shady practices will only lead to the doom of companies, managers and employees.

Il Giorno del ringraziamento
In America oggi è il Giorno del ringraziamento, che è una festa osservata soprattutto in America (e anche in Canada). A dire il vero non so molto della sua storia, ma è una festa legata all’arrivo degli esploratori che sono arrivati in America molti anni fa.
Ma ai giorni nostri la sua storia non importa. L’aspetto più importante è l’aspetto familiare della festa. Nelle nostre vite secondo me non ci sono molte opportunità di essere insieme con la famiglia, soprattutto quando i figli sono diventati adulti. Troviamo lavoro in un altro paese, conosciamo un ragazzo o una ragazza che abita lontano, e cettera. Di solito ogni figlio ha una vita propria, spesso lontano dal luogo, dove vivono i loro genitori. Quindi queste opportunità non sono così comune, e cerco di tornare in America ogni Giorno del ringraziamento, nonostante non abito vicino ai miei genitori.

Jaloux
On dirait bien que le sentiment de jalouse est plutôt normal. Quand quelqu'un est mieux que nous-mêmes dans un certain domain ou quand une personne a quelque chose quelle elle merité pas à notre avis. Alors que c'est normal de se sentir jaloux de temps en temps ça ne doit pas être quelque chose de s'habituer. On n'est pas obligé d'aimer tout le monde mais il ne sert à rien de perdre notre temps avec detester quelqu'un. Il faut se concentrer à soi-même quelqu'un avait moins ou plus que nous ne change rien dans notre vie alors pourquoi ceci devait nous rendre triste.

Tipos de café
En un café existe muchas opciones que se puede pedir. El café que se está ubicada en mi calle tiene unas opciones especializadas pero tiene también los básicos, como café por percolador y bebidas de espresso que son mis favoritos.
En cuanto a café solo, prefiero los de tueste claro. Creo que hay más sabor en los tuestes claros y todo el café oscuro me parece igual. No quiero decir que el tueste oscuro es malo, pero si voy a gastar cinco dólares en un café, mejor pedir un que puede ser distinto.
Si me apetezco tomar una bebida de espresso, suelo pedir un cortado o capuchino. No quiero que el sabor del espresso esté perdido en la leche. Creo que la dulzura de espresso no require adiciones ni más sabores.

Le syndrome de l’imposteur
Cet article du « Monde », décrit l’origine et la définition du « syndrome de l’imposteur ». Ce syndrome, qui, selon l’auteur, affect en particulier les femmes au travail, est le sentiment pervasif « de ne pas être à leur place ».
Même les femmes de position haute et avec des métiers prestigieux souffrent cette impression de vivre une vie de mensonges et ont la peur d’être découvertes n'importe quel moment. Le syndrome aussi provoque d’autres symptômes, notablement du stress, et « burnout ».
L’auteur soutient que, si les femmes ont certaines caractéristiques, comme être perfectionnistes, ou « névrotiques », la probabilité de souffrir de ce syndrome augmente. De même, certains métiers, comme le numérique, peuvent augmenter le risque de pression, discrimination et sexisme au lieu de travail, et, tour à tour, plus de chance du syndrome de l’imposteur.

上午，我第一节课上的是安全教育课，因为我的学校要求每个人交手机，我们必须服从学校的规章制度，我很无聊，我带了一本叫做英语思维是这样炼成的书，我本来打算去读它的，但是我太困打不开眼睛，所以我睡着了

Tsundoku
Tsundoku est le mot japonais qui signifie l’acte d’acheter livres mais ne les lire pas. Ce matin j’ai compté les livres qui sont dans ma maison que je n’ai pas lus (en format numérique ou en papier) et il y a…136 livres. Ouf ! C’est très gênant…
L’idée d’un défi ‘no buy’ est probablement pas réaliste pour une personne impulsive comme moi. Cependant, je crois qu’un challenge quelque chose comme ‘lisez 10 livres avant d’achetez un nouveau’ pourrait marcher, mais cette tâche est un peu accablante !

My First Work Unit
In late August, 1985, I held a dispatch certificate released by the Human Resource department of Anhui province, and took a long distance bus from the city I live now to Bengbu, and then took a train to Jiashan County seat, where my first work unit was at.
Jiashan County seat was on a small hill, so the roads there were not even. I went to the agricultural machinery bureau of the county first to report for duty, and they told me that I was assigned to the bureau's subordinate unit: the agricultural machinery training class. My role was as a trainer.
An officer at the bureau wrote me an introduction letter and let me go to the training class.
I left the bureau going to my first work unit. On my way, I asked a man how I could get there. He said, just go with me. It turned out that he was the leader of my work unit.
The work unit was also on the hill, which was very simple, and only had a few rooms. The rooms are connected in a row, from east to west. There were no inclosing walls for the office.
I lived in a room with another new employee who was assigned to the office from another specialized secondary school. We all majored in agricultural machinery management.
I started my career for the rest of my life this way, and I worked there till 1989 before I was transferred to my home town.

Un pique-nique créole
Pendant nos vacances à La Reunion, on a découvert une tradition typique: le célèbre pique-nique créole. C'est un partie de l'art de vivre à la Réunion. Et en effet, nous a vu espaces extérieurs pour pique-niquer partout sur l'île. Dans la menu, il n'y avait pas de sandwiches mais il y avait les spécialités creole délicieuses. Notre hôte a cuisine different plats dans un grand casserole sur un feu de bois. On a goute la saucisse avec du riz jeune. C'était un peu épicé et absolument fantastique!

[ Part 3 ]
Are traffic jams common in Vietnamese cities?
I guess traffic congestion is inevitable during rush hours in any city in Vietnam, so commuting is a daily problem for urban dwellers. The traffic in my hometown, Buon Ma Thuot city, is very light most of the time. But when it is at around 8 to 9 in the morning, and 5 in the afternoon, there is always a long line of bumper-to-bumper vehicles crawling at a snail’s pace. But it is nothing compared to the traffic state in Ho Chi Minh City, where I lived for about four years for university. During rush hours, the traffic is at a complete or near standstill most of the time, and you can encounter several gridlocks or bottlenecks. Apart from peak hours, the streets between 9 am to 10 am and between 3 pm to 4 pm are also crowded with vehicles.
2. Why are cities today facing serious traffic issues?
I think it is because urban areas tend to have a dense population, which partly causes by the growing trend of urban transition since people from rural areas or small cities flock to major cities to find better employment or education opportunities. A city usually has a high rate of vehicle ownership as it is rather easy for urban people to afford a motorbike, car, or at least a bike. This results in a large volume of vehicles on the roads. On top of that, many cities are not built with proper planning, which means that the existing road infrastructures tend not to facilitate the smooth flow of such a colossal amount of vehicles there. You can encounter several bottlenecks if you travel in HCM city as many narrow roads are incapable of accommodating the vehicles’ movements.
3. What can be done to improve traffic conditions in cities?
One method is to scatter working hours. For example, we could push back the working hours of public offices to 10 am, so they would commute at a different time compared to the 9-to-5 workers of private firms. I think this would dramatically reduce the flow of commuters during rush hours. Another is to upgrade the public transport system so that many more people would choose to use it instead of driving. I believe that if governments make taking public transportation more comfortable, convenient, and safer, citizens would feel less of the need to own and use a private vehicle, which would significantly ease traffic congestion. Besides, governments can also invest in building intersections, interconnecting roads, overloading bridges, or flyovers in high-traffic areas to facilitate travel there.
4. Can developing public transport help resolve traffic issues in cities?
I think it will definitely ease traffic pressure in cities. If it is convenient, comfortable, and safe for people to take a bus or train, they would undoubtedly feel less of the need to own and use a private vehicle. Therefore, improving public transport can bring down the number of vehicles on the road, freeing road space and reducing traffic congestion.

Vegetarians
I am not a vegetarian. I eat meat or fish every day, I can not imagine what I will be like if only eat vegetables.
We know that true monks are not allowed to eat meat, they can not kill living creatures. I heard about a famous monk named HaiDeng who specialized in Kungfu and died in his Seventies.
Because he was a martial art master and well-known in China, some doctors made a medical check on his body in order to find the reason why he was not living longevity as expected.
Surprisingly, his death was due to malnutrition and anemia.

The Origin of My Job.
When I was in middle school, children from farmer's families could get a job only by performing excellent on the specialized secondary school entrance exams. Otherwise, they could only be farmers for the rest of their lives.
The pass rate of the exam was very low, which was only 3 to 5 percent. The competition for being accepted was very fierce.
Every student studied very hard to get the acceptance, even though at least 95 percent of them would fail.
Fortunately, I was a little smart, and I often won the top three places in my class, which had around 60 students.
In mid-July 1982, I went to the local county seat to take the exam. After that, I immediately reviewed all the school courses at home to prepare to take the exam next year because I was not sure if I could pass the exam I had taken.
In late August, I was informed by a person in my middle school that I won the number one in the exam in my school.
To see the exact score I got, I immediately cycled to school. On my way to school, I even fell into the ditch beside the road because I was so excited.
On the first of September, I took a bus to the city where I live now to study at a specialized secondary school. Three years later, I graduated and was assigned a job to work for the government.
It is how I got my current job.

Please review my IELTS SPEAKING part 2's answer.
1. Describe a time when you were stuck in a traffic jam.
You should say:
When and where it happened?
How long you were in the traffic jam?
What you did while waiting?
And explain how you felt when you were in that traffic jam.
I believe that rush-hour traffic congestion is something to be expected in urban areas, and my hometown, Buon Ma Thuot city, is no different. But it is nothing compared to the traffic jam in Ho Chi Minh, which is the largest city and the main hub of the economy in our country. I lived in Ho Chi Minh for around 4 years for university, so I know all too well how severe the traffic jams there are. But the most memorable congestion that I have ever encountered in my life is on the first day of my university entrance exam.
Nowadays, Vietnamese students only need to sit the national high school graduation exam taking place in their hometown, and the college admissions will be based on this test’s result. But back about 7 years ago, students had to go to the city in which the university that they applied for was located and took an exam specifically for university entrance. So in my time, millions of students in the south of Vietnam poured into HCM city to pursue higher education there, and I was one of them. Thankfully, I didn’t need to rent a room like many of these students as I have an aunt who lives in HCM. She also drove me to the test site and picked me up after. Unfortunately, the time that I got off was also when people living there traveled home from work or school, at about 5 pm. So you can imagine how congested the streets were. The traffic was at a complete standstill, and the pavement was also filled with riders who wanted to avoid the gridlocks on the streets, but they could hardly move too.
It was in summer, so I was dripping with sweat from the sweltering weather with the burning sun, together with the body heat from the bumper crowd. Besides, everyone drove too aggressively as they always tried to squeeze into any tiny empty spot and jump ahead of other bikes. I was so stressed out since I felt like an accident would happen to us at any moment, and the incessant noise from the horns and engines, together with the exhaust fumes, only made everything worse.
I remembered that when we were stuck in a bottleneck for around more than 10 minutes, my aunt decided to turn into the first alley that she saw along the street to pass this jammed area. However, many people had the same thought, so the alley was also crowded. And the funny thing, and irritating at the same time, is that when we got back to the main road, we saw the same riders who were stuck in the bottleneck with us before but didn’t take the shortcuts. So we didn’t really make any greater progress, just traveling a longer distance. My uncle called us three times when we were traveling to ask why we still didn’t get home. We spent about 2 hours getting through a route that only took us 30 minutes on the first travel in the afternoon.
I have to admit that this situation made me instantly regret my decision to pursue higher education in HCM city. But my aunt did reassure me a bit since she said that the traffic wasn’t as bad on a normal day.
