Learning English requires 4 skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking. In my opinion, speaking skill is the most difficult. It requires so many other skills. When someone learns speaking, they must need enough grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary to build sentences and be able to speak. To learn the three skills including reading, writing, listening is quite hard. So studying speaking is more difficult. Moreover, English words and sentences also have stress, so speak English need people to pay attention to stress. In addition to stress, learners also must study tones. It is not similar to Vietnamese. Tones and stress in English are rather complicated. Although there are some marking stress methods but there are still many excepting situations. Of course, people who want to speak well must learn those exceptions. Tones in speaking english are in many types that are correspond to each kinds of sentences. And stydying all of them is not simply. Further more, people speak well must are fluent in speaking. Speakers need to be confident when they are speaking. Make confidence in speaking a language that is not mother language is not easy. To get confidence and saying fluently, speakers should practise speaking everywhere, every time as long as they can. Speaking skill is the most difficult in the four skills in learning English. If someone has right studying method, they can get success in this skill.

Bài 2

English is an international language. It is grand for us to study it. English is also taught at all schools in our country and is a core subject in important exams. There are a lot of skills in studying English such as: reading, listening, speaking, writing, grammar and so on. Writing, in my opinion, is the most difficult one.
The first, to write well, you must have wide vocabulary knowledge and be a dab hand at using grammar and sentence structure. Because English vocabulary is immense, it is not easy for not only non-native speakers but also native ones. Therefore, you need to read a lot to increase your vocabulary. To remember new words for a long time, you must have a good memory and contact them more frequently. For grammar and sentence structure, you can spend a lot of time studying it and of course you need to be instructed how to master some difficult grammar points or complicated structures.
The second, topics for writing are plentiful. You must understand them, have certain knowledge of them if you want to write essays about them. For example, You should make head or tail of some animals to write about their lives, or you need to have understanding about traffic rules to have a suitable essay about it, etc. Little do you know some field, that means you will not be able to write well or complete your writing. It is vital that you should own a great deal of wide social knowledge to use for your writing.
Bài 3

A visible change of any living organism is getting older. Child, youth, adult and elder are some of the stages in our life. Child and elderly stages are dependent stages compared to other two stages. For both of these situations, a human being needs other’s support.

While we were children, our parents were there for our supportive role. When the parents became older, definitely their children need to be the supportive role for their parents. This is the role we carry among human beings vice versa. If the parents live with their children only parents will feel safer, attached to family and sharing of love. Unfortunately, many of them attending to works, they do not have time to look after their children neither their parents. In this case, elders could be sending to some a common place where other elders are staying. But payment cannot be made by the government.

Since it is the responsibility of their family, definitely family needs to pay for caring of their parents. They may not have enough time to take care of their parents. Since the government has employed special people for that, at least those elders’ parents need to be paid by their family.

For an example, many of the parents were private sector employees and they did not have a monthly pension scheme. But they have only Employee provident fund and employee trust funds. It has been used by the children of the parents in plantation sector of Sri Lanka. Finally, children will neither look after their parents nor elderly parents do not have own money in hand. That is, all advantages utilised from elders. When they become a stage of the dependent, families are trying to escape from their responsibilities. This is a kind of selfish. Paid by the government should be stopped and families should be paid for them.

Especially the children are responsible for looking after the parents; they should definitely pay for the parents and not the government.

“The biggest problem is perhaps listing the duties for which you were responsible in a past position: all this tells your potential employers is what you were supposed to do. They do not necessarily know the specific skills you used in executing them, nor do they know what results you achieved - both of which are essential” (Vấn đề lớn nhất có lẽ là liệt kê các công việc mà bạn đã làm trong chức vụ trước đây: tất cả những điều này nói cho nhà tuyển dụng tiềm năng của bạn biết những gì bạn có thể làm được. Họ không cần thiết phải biết những kĩ năng cụ thể bạn đã sử dụng để thực hiện các nhiệm vụ đó, họ cũng không cần biết kết quả bạn đã đạt được là gì – cả hai thứ đó đều rất quan trọng).

“Writing what you are trying to achieve in life - your objective - is a waste of space.” (Viết về những điều bạn đang cố gắng đạt được trong cuộc sống - mục tiêu của bạn - là một sự lãng phí giấy).
