1 Lesson 13 Môi trường Do you think the government should impose a penalty on people for not recycling? I think the government should impose a penalty on people for not recycling. The main reason is that recycling is necessary for protecting the environment. If we don’t recycle, there will be more trash, which leads to increased pollution. However, not many people understand or care about that. Only penalties can make them change their behavior and start recycling. For example, 2 years ago, there was a lot of trash in my city. Therefore, the city was seriously polluted. However, last year, the city government passed a new law, which said that if people didn’t recycle, they would have to pay a fine. People got scared, because they didn’t want to pay money. So everybody started recycling. Now my city has become a much cleaner and healthier place to live.

Do you think it is a good idea for a company to hire job candidates who have a family member already employed at the company? No, I don’t think so. The main reason is that the family member might give the candidate special treatment. This can make other employees feel resentful and unmotivated. Let me tell you my story. Last year, my company hired a new employee. She is the younger sister of my manager. Even though she was lazy and didn’t have much experience, she was promoted after only five months. Meanwhile, other employees who work hard and are more qualified have to stay in the same position for years.

He then refused to give me important data for my report. As a result, I missed the deadline for this report. Which do you think contributes more to a famous athlete’s success: luck or hard work? I think hard work contributes more to a famous athlete’s success. The main reason is that luck happens randomly. This means that athletes cannot control when it happens. On the other hand, the harder athletes work, the better they become at their sport. Their skills are ready to serve athletes whenever they need them. Let me tell you the story of Michael Jordan, the greatest basketball player of all time. His success is all about hard work. He woke up early and practiced for many hours a day.
3 Even during the offseason, when other players rested, he continued to practice. It is hard work, not luck, which made him successful. Living/ Housing What are the disadvantages of moving to a different country? There are several disadvantages of moving to a different country. First, it is difficult to communicate with other people.

Two years ago, I moved to Taiwan. I thought living in a different country would be a great experience. However, I didn’t understand people and I couldn’t get a job. Therefore, I had to go back to my country. This made me realize that moving to a different country is a bad idea. What are the disadvantages of living in an apartment compared to living in a house? I think there are some disadvantages of living in an apartment compared to living in a house. First of all, an apartment is usually smaller than a house. Therefore, if you have a big family or a lot of furniture, you might feel uncomfortable living in an apartment. In addition, there are many neighbors living next to you. They can make a lot of noise. Therefore, you might find it difficult to relax or focus on tasks. For example, three years ago, I lived in an apartment. I had a stressful job at that time so I just wanted to go home to relax after work. However, my neighbors often played loud music or talked very loudly. Therefore, it was hard for me to relieve stress. Luckily, I was able to buy a house last year and now there is no noise at all.
