Urlaub bei Verwandten
Persönlich bevorzuge ich am liebsten eine Reise mit meinen Freunden zu machen, aber jedes Jahr fahre ich einmal mit meinen Freunden und einmal mit meiner Familie.
Dieses Jahr habe ich schon eine Reise mit meiner Familie gemacht. Wir waren in Italien und es war einen wunderschönen Urlaub und ich war sehr zufrieden, aber ich fahre dieses Jahr noch nicht mit meinen Freunden.
Bei uns in Syrien reisen die Jugendlichen lieber bei Freunden als bei Verwandten, weil sie mit Freunden ganz selbst sind und sich in ihrer Freiheit nicht eingeschränkt fühlen
Urlaub bei Verwandten hat, wie alles im Leben, Vor- und Nachteile.
Einerseits macht der Urlaub die Beziehung stärker und es ist eine wichtige Sache, dass man eine Zeit mit seinen Verwandten verbringe. Außerdem kostet der Urlaub bei Verwandten nicht so viel Geld.
Andererseits hat man im Urlaub bei Verwandten keine Freiheit und ist ganz es selbst nicht. Zusätzlich könnten die Kinder nervig sein.
Meiner Meinung nach ist der Urlaub bei Freunden lieber und es ist eine besondere Not, aber man sollte auch mit seinen Verwandten Zeit verbringen.

Visiting Relatives
One of the Chinese traditions for the Traditional Chinese New Year is to visit relatives.
The Traditional Chinese New Year is on the first day of January in the lunar calendar. Nowadays, the government gives seven days off to citizens for the Chinese New Year.
In the countryside, people are supposed to do nothing on the first day of the traditional Chinese New Year. They think they have been busy for the entire year, so they deserve the day of rest.
Starting on the second day, they begin to visit their relatives, and on the second day they are supposed to visit their grandparents on their mother's side.
I don't know nowadays what gifts people in the countryside bring to their relatives, because I have been away from the countryside for many years.
When I was a child in my home village, people were very poor, so they didn't have good gifts. They only had steamed buns, homemade desserts, and canned fruits.
When they visited their relatives, they used a bamboo basket holding the aforementioned foods and with a towel covering the opening of the basket. They either walked to their relatives' villages, or rode a bike if they had.
People usually visited their relatives in the morning and went back in the afternoon - - - their relatives had the responsibility to treat them to lunch.
Often, people saw some drunk men lying in the fields along the path. It was because they drank too much alcohol in the lunches. Sometimes, people might hear that a few people died because they drank too much alcohol.
The fifteenth of the lunar January is the last day for people to visit relatives, and it is also the last day of the new year in the countryside. After this day, everything will be back to normal.
Now, the traditional Chinese New Year in cities has become less ceremonious, and it is almost like an ordinary day. I don't know if it is still ceremonious in the countryside.

Alkoholkonsum von Jugendlichen
Seit einigen Jahren trinken immer mehr Jugendliche Alkohol. Ich bin der Meinung, dass wir auf dieses Phänomen
achten sollen.
Der Grund, warum Alkoholkonsum von Jugendlichen so verbreitet ist, liegt möglicherweise darin, dass Menschen in der Pubertät sehr neugierig sind und prinzipiell alles probieren wollen. Sie trinken Alkohol, um sich erwachsen zu fühlen. Außerdem ist es denkbar, dass vielfältige Werbungen von Wein die Jugendliche anlocken, Alkohol zu konsumieren.
In moderner Gesellschaft sind alles von Schnelllebigkeit und Zeitdruck geprägt, Jugendliche leiden unter großen Stress. Es könnte passieren, dass Jugendliche durch Alkoholkonsum die Realität entfliehen.
Die Nachteile des Alkoholkonsum ist allgemein bekannt. Eine davon ist, dass übermäßiger Alkoholkonsum süchtig machen könnte, was normales Leben zerstören kann.
Außerdem ist es schädlich für körperliche und geistige Gesundheit, Alkoholiker werden leicht aggressiv und Forschung hat bewiesen, dass je mehr Alkohol ein trinkt, desto höher ist das Risiko, Herz-Kreislauf Erkrankung zu erleiden.

IELTS Writing Task 2 Essay
Some people think that it is better for a country's economy for people to spend money, while others believe that it would be better for people to save money. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Some believe that individuals should spend their money to benefit their nation's economic well-being, while others argue that saving money is a more beneficial approach. In my opinion, both actions contribute to the economy in their own way.
Consumer spending plays a vital role in the economy. When people purchase products or services, it generates revenue for businesses. This revenue can be used to pay employees, purchase more inventory from suppliers, or potentially expand operations and hire more workers. The income earned by workers and businesses is then spent on other goods and services, which further fuels economic activities. Conversely, a low level of consumer spending may lead businesses to downsize, lay off, or even close down altogether, leading to a decline in economic activities.
Nonetheless, personal savings hold significant importance as well. During economic downturns or crises, savings enable individuals who face job losses or reduced salaries to maintain their purchasing power. This spending generates revenue for businesses and helps them sustain their operations. Additionally, by saving money, entrepreneurs can finance their business activities during challenging times, ensuring their continued operations. Hence, savings keep economic activities going during critical periods. Furthermore, banks rely on deposits from savers as a stable source of funds, which they can then lend to entrepreneurs. These entrepreneurs then can use this loan to establish or expand their businesses, ultimately stimulating economic activities.
In conclusion, while spending money generates revenue for businesses and stimulates demand for goods and services, thus driving economic activities, saving can sustain these activities during critical times by providing financial stability for individuals and entrepreneurs, as well as act as capital funds for businesses. Hence, both are critical for a sustainable and thriving economy.

IELTS Speaking Answers
1. Do teenagers spend much more money than before?
Yes, I believe so. This is largely due to inflation, which has made everyday items such as food, snacks, and toys much more expensive. For example, a snack that used to cost 1,000 Vietnamese dongs may now cost 5,000. Consequently, teenagers have to spend significantly more money than in the past to buy the same items. Additionally, the improved standard of living means that parents can now afford to give more allowance to their children. Teenagers now can own smartphones or even computers, which was not the case in the past. When I was at university, I only had a Nokia phone that could only send messages and make calls.
2. How can people save money as much as possible?
Firstly, people can think carefully before making a purchase and only buy what they need and will use, which can greatly reduce spending on impulse buying. Secondly, eating out can be quite expensive, so they can try cooking their own meals at home. Thirdly, always look for sales and discounts before buying something. Compare prices from different stores and consider buying things in bulk if possible. Fourthly, using public transportation instead of driving can save money on fuel costs, which are quite expensive. Finally, turning off electrical devices around the house when not in use, and using energy-efficient appliances can help reduce electricity bills.
3. Did you ever have a bad shopping experience?
Yes, I have. I purchased a face oil online, but when it arrived, the label on the bottle was not the type of oil that I had ordered, and the oil felt cheap and strange on my skin. I suspect that it was a low-quality oil that was not specifically made for the skin. When I tried to contact the shop owner to inquire about it, I discovered that the shop had closed down its website. It became apparent to me that I had been scammed, and I was quite upset because the oil had cost me a significant amount of money. Since then, I have become more cautious and always thoroughly researched sellers before making a purchase online to avoid such situations in the future.

Bicycles
When I was a child, just a few families in my village had bicycles. Maybe only two or three. My family was one of them. My father worked for the local government, so he needed a bicycle to commute.
Learning how to ride a bike was the biggest fun for children. When children were about ten years old, they started to learn to ride bicycles, especially for boys.
All bicycles back then had inverted triangle frames, and a ten-year-old child couldn't reach the pedal if they sat on the saddle.
So, when children learned to ride bicycles, they stood on the left pedal with their left foot and pedaled the right pedal with their right foot through the hole in the inverted triangle frame. You can imagine how difficult it would be for children to learn to ride a bicycle this way.
When children learned to ride bicycles, their parents held the rear shelf in order for the children not to fall off. Even so, children still fell off the bikes several times.
After I started working, I bought the first bicycle in my life, but my first workplace was located on a small hill, which didn't fit a bicycle much.
After I was transferred to my home city, which is a vast plain area, I bought several bicycles. In the nineties, thieves liked to steal bicycles too much. I have lost about ten bicycles so far. Maybe more than that.
Now, I still have four bicycles, but three of them are stationary (idle). The one I ride all the time is a Giant Trooper. I added a motor to it so that I wouldn't be so tired after riding for a long time.
I also have many other different vehicles, but if it is neither hot nor cold, I prefer riding bicycles.

French Words in English
The language of English has undergone evolutions over thousands of years, absorbing a lot of words from other languages including French. It's always difficult for me to remember the spelling of such kind of words as "souvenir", and "entrepreneur," etc.
I am unsure whether the native English people are somewhat confused about the spelling or not.

Verloren und ohne Richtung
Letzte Woche ich habe meinen Praktikum (?) beendet. Also, ich spüre, dass ich mehr erklären muss. Ich bin eine Ärztin, und in meinem Land, nach wir die Schule enden, wir müssen ein Jahr “zu der Regierung geben”, sozusagen, wenn wir, als Ärzte, in einem Krankenhaus arbeiten müssen für keine oder sehr wenig Verdienste. Gott sei Dank, ich habe einen sehr guten Job (für mich, mindestens) erfunden. Meistens, wenn man bezahlt werden möchte, dann muss man zu verschieden Provinzen ziehen. Praktikum mit Verdienste in der Hauptstadt is sehr, sehr schwierig anzustellen. Aber ich habe es gemacht. Und nicht nur Verdienste, sondern auch in einem Privatklinik. Und alles war so fantastisch für mich. Ehrlich gesagt, ich hatte nicht so viel Geld, aber ich habe mit viele gute Ärzte und Krankenschwester gesprochen, ich habe vieles gelernt und ich habe mir selbst beweist, dass ich dieser Job gut machen kann. Aber jetzt habe ich keinen Job mehr. Es war nur ein Jahr. And jetzt fühlte ich mich so verloren. Ich weiß, dass es nur eine Woche war. Ich weiß, dass ich diese Tage benutzen kann, um mehr Medizin zu studieren und mehr Deutsch zu lernen, aber alles ist ein bisschen unkonzentriert. Ich habe Ziele, aber alle sind so entfernt. Die Sache, die mir Verordnung gegeben hat, ist weit weg. Offentsichlich kann ich einen anderen Job versuchen, aber es gibt mir Angst. Mein letzer Job war so einfach zu finden. Ich hatte meinen Lebenslauf gegeben und drei Stunde später hatte ich einen Anruf. Dieses Mal, glaube ich, Sachen werden nicht so unkompliziert sein. Ich habe Angst auch davon, nicht gute Leute in dem nächsten Job finden. Ich bin sehr jung, nur 24 Jahre alt, also ich weiß, dass ich Zeit habe, einen guten Job zu erhalten, aber es macht mir Angst jedenfalls.

Lettres d'amour (II)
Mon doudou,
nous sommes trop loin pour ne pas chercher à te toucher . Mais le temps et l'espace m'empêchent de te voir, de te toucher, de te baiser ; je peux seulement noyer cette lettre dans mon parfum et souhaiter que ça souffrira pour toi . Et je t'aime, aime ? Parfois je me suis demandé si j'étais vraiment le seul à pouvoir ressentir des émotions si puissantes . Le cerveau me dit qu'il est très normal de t'aimer, mais je ne peux m'empêcher de penser d'être le seul, seul dans le bonheur et le chagrin de cet amour . Personne peut ressentir cet amour, c'est ce que je pense . D'ailleurs, qui semble avoir aimé plus que moi est seulement seul ou égoïste : il aime pour soi-même, rien de plus .
Au revoir doudou, et je songe vraiment de te revoir .
Ton amour
P.S. La lettre est étrange, n'est-elle pas ? La vérité est que j'étais un peu fatigué et donc tout ce que je voulais dire étais là, là-bas, puis voici cette idée et voilà ce souvenir . Assailli par tout ça, je me suis décidé à terminer la lettre très brusquement, mais puis (je l'ai écrit hier) j'ai pensé te devoir expliquer tout . Je suis désolé, Madame, si cette lettre est ridicule pour Votre Altesse ; je fera un seppuku si vous voudrez ...

Einführung in den Positivismus (II)
Zu Beginn des XIX Jahrhundert, beobacheten europäischen Ländern sehr anders, insbesondere Frankreich, Deutschland und England. Ins erste, das Hauptaugenmerk lag auf der Bildung der Führungsklasse, mit einigen Erforschung Während war die französische Recherche ein Beispiel für der französisch Traditionsbruch, in Deutschland blieb die Wissenschaft verankerte am politischem Macht, mit keinem Recherche. In England war das Hauptaugenmerk die Hochschulbildung; außerdem war die Hochschulforschung nicht entwickelt, aber war es von den Amateure fortgesetzt. Auch in dem englischem Fall, wiederholte sich nicht der französisch Traditionsbruch.

Pétition #3 - le télétravail
Monsieur le directeur,
En tant qu’employées à votre entreprise, nous subissons de plein fouet du manque d’espace dans notre bureau. Les conséquences pour notre sérénité sont désastreuses ! Il est démonté que les employés sont moins efficaces dans une espace bruyante. Maintenant, plus que jamais, vous devriez agir pour le bien de vos employées, car nous sommes inquiets. En vue de nos conditions de travail, nous sentons un manque d’estime tous les jours.
La permission de travailler chez nous peut éviter cet problème. En nous permettant le télétravail, nous pourrions aussi avoir un meilleur équilibre vie professionelle-vie privée. Un large taux de nous ont des bébés. Travailler chez nous ferait mieux balancer le travail, les enfants et le ménage. De plus, nous serions plus loyaux á votre entreprise. Beaucoup de nous cherchons déjà des nouveaux emplois.
Nous séraient plus heureux, par conséquent nous travaillions plus efficaces. Nous produisions des meilleurs résultats chez nous. Il serait plus facile de faire des heures supplémentaires et nous avions une meilleure communication car les gens seraient plus calmes. En plus, les parents seraient capable de travailler en plein temps plutôt que seulement vingt heures par semaine.
Il est temps que vous changiez les régulations sur le télétravail dans le but d’améliorer les résultats des affaires et réduire le taux de malades.
Monsieur le directeur, nous vous demandons d’agir au plus vite !
En vous priant d’agréer l’expression de notre considération la plus distinguée.

IELTS Speaking Answers
17. What kind of things could help you to study better?
A quiet and comfortable study space with good lighting and ventilation would greatly increase my concentration ability, enabling me to better understand and retain the material. Additionally, taking short breaks after an hour of studying can prevent burnout and refresh my mind. Getting enough sleep the night before is also crucial for my brain to function optimally. Furthermore, I tend to get distracted easily by social media and YouTube, so I often find myself scrolling through them instead of studying. As a result, I think removing my phone or other potential distractions could help me stay focused and be more productive.
18. Would you like to go to other cities/countries to study?
Yes, I would love to go to other countries to study. It would be particularly beneficial for me to study in countries where English is the native language, as it would help improve my fluency, which would enhance my chances of achieving my dream job as an English teacher. Unfortunately, my current financial situation does not allow me to pursue this option, which is a real pity.
19. Did you choose your major according to your own will?
Yes, I did. My parents wanted me to apply for majors that could lead to stable and secure government jobs, such as teachers or desk officers. However, at that time, the import and export industry in Vietnam was expanding significantly and offered many employment opportunities with high salaries, so I decided to pursue a major in International Business. In retrospect, I should have listened to my parents, as I discovered that I was not suited for a career in business.
1. Talk about a special day which was not that expensive or on which you didn't have to spend a lot of money.
I would like to talk about the day that my best friend, Quynh, and I hooked up before she departed for Spain. Quynh and I met in high school and became close due to our shared hobby of reading boy love novels, which are novels that focus on romantic relationships between two male characters. However, when we attended different universities and neither of us had a motorbike, we couldn't meet up as often as before and had to keep in touch through Facebook. Before Quynh left for Spain during her second year of university, we made sure to catch up in person. We decided to go to a nearby park, where we sat under a tree and conversed for hours about our favorite movies and novels. We focused on topics that brought us joy and avoided serious subjects such as why Quynh decided to continue her education in Spain and our plans for the future. Afterward, we visited a nearby supermarket that was quite grand and only went window-shopping around it. During our walk, Quynh offered to buy me something to eat, but I declined because I lived off my parents' limited income, which was only enough to cover my living expenses. Nevertheless, she bought me a cake that cost around $1 and paid for it herself. When we said our goodbyes, there was no emotional display between us as we were both not the emotional type. Overall, the day only cost me the bus fare of half a dollar, making it an inexpensive day.

I have watched a documentary describing some glaciers that had frozen over billions of years are going to melt in north of Canada, just because of climate changing. I am dreaming about what will it look like. Are there any special materials in the water? It's easy to understand, it's impossible for me to go there in Winter, but it's possible in Summer.

IELTS Writing Task 2 Essay
Some people fail in school, but end up being successful in life. Why do you think that is the case?
Despite failing academically, some people still achieve success later in life because of various factors and circumstances. The most important factor contributing to success is hard work.
Failing in school does not necessarily translate to failing in life. Academic success often heavily relies on excelling in traditional subjects such as math, science, and language arts. Some people lack the competencies to excel in these areas, but possess specific skills or qualities allowing them to thrive in specific fields. For example, high creativity can lead to success in art, music, or writing, while strong leadership skills can bring success in managerial or entrepreneurial roles. A compelling example illustrate this phenomenon is Richard Branson, a billionaire entrepreneur. Despite struggling with dyslexia and having poor performance during his school years, he went on to found the Virgin Group, comprising over 400 companies in various industries.
Hard work is the cornerstone of achieving success. It involves dedicating consistent and unwavering effort over an extended period. Through this process, individuals acquire and refine the skills and knowledge relevant to their fields, ultimately empowering them to deliver top-notch performances and staying competitive. When an opportunity arrives, they are well-prepared to seize it. For example, an athlete who are able to become proficiency in their respective sports though trains rigorously day in and day out are more likely to be chosen for competitions, where their preparedness increases their chances of wining.
In conclusion, there are people who lack the competencies needed to excel in an academic setting but possess specific skills and qualities that enable them to later thrive in their chosen fields. Additionally, working hard is the most significant contributor to success as it helps one to acquire the necessary expertise to become adept at their work and prepare them to seize opportunities.

Nuclear Waste Disposal
Just a couple of days ago, the Janan government announced that they would be releasing some treated nuclear waste into the sea. All the waste occurred back to the year 2011, which was produced by a nuclear plant believed to still have a lot of radioactive materials in it.
Japan's government suggested they had weighed the potential benefits and potential environmental issues, and eventually believed that the benefits would outweigh the risks.
I hope scientists will find more secure methods to keep the safety of nuclear power plants in any places in the world.
