  Older generations often hold some traditional ideas on the correct way of life, thought and behaviour. Most people argue that these are not helpful for younger generations to prepare for modern life. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Model Answer: As society continues to evolve, the gap between traditional values and modern lifestyles grows wider. While some argue that older generations’ beliefs are no longer useful, I believe that many of these ideas still hold value and can benefit younger generations in preparing for life today. There are certainly some traditional views that may not align with modern thinking. For example, older generations often emphasise obedience, conformity, and strict gender roles—ideas that may limit individual freedom and equality in today’s world. In a society that increasingly values diversity, independence, and personal expression, such views may appear outdated and even harmful. Furthermore, rapid technological and social changes mean tha...

Nhiều bạn lo lắng rằng mình đang nói thì bị giám khảo ngắt lời là do nói sai hoặc nói dở. Nhưng thực tế, đây là điều hoàn toàn bình thường và không ảnh hưởng tiêu cực tới điểm thi. Thứ nhất, thời gian của bài thi Speaking chỉ kéo dài từ 12 đến 15 phút. Trong thời gian đó, giám khảo cần đảm bảo bạn trả lời đủ cả 3 phần (Part 1, Part 2 và Part 3), nên nếu bạn nói quá dài ở một phần, họ sẽ ngắt lời để chuyển sang phần tiếp theo đúng thời gian. Thứ hai, giám khảo có thể ngắt lời để giữ cho bài thi đi đúng hướng. Nếu bạn bị lạc đề hoặc nói quá lan man, giám khảo sẽ điều chỉnh lại để giúp bạn thể hiện khả năng ngôn ngữ một cách rõ ràng hơn. Cuối cùng, giám khảo cần đánh giá nhiều kỹ năng khác nhau: cách phát âm, sử dụng ngữ pháp, từ vựng, và khả năng mạch lạc khi nói. Vì vậy, họ sẽ chủ động dẫn dắt cuộc trò chuyện để đảm bảo bạn có cơ hội thể hiện toàn diện các kỹ năng. Vậy nên, nếu bị ngắt lời, đừng hoảng. Hãy giữ bình tĩnh, tiếp tục theo mạch câu hỏi và thể hiện khả năng tốt nhất của bạn.

Hong Kong social enterprise teaches money management skills by giving kids credit cards Hong Kong social enterprise is teaching kids about money management by giving them prepaid cards. Solomoni is a free financial education app that comes with Hong Kong’s first Visa card for children. It was designed for children from six to 18 years old. The card and app allow parents and young users to monitor expenses and set savings goals. The app was developed through Project Morals & Money (Project M²), a social enterprise project under Solomon Learning Group. The initiative aims to instil financial literacy and ethical financial habits from an early age. Yeung Tsz-yu from Maryknoll Convent School (Primary Section) appreciated how the app tracks her spending: “It helps me monitor my spending patterns and see where I need to adjust,” she said. Solomoni was piloted in 15 schools in 2023, reaching nearly 1,000 students and parents. It offers interactive features that parents and children can us...

Teen digital media addiction surpasses alcohol, cannabis risks Read the following text, and answer questions 1-9 below: [1]  New research from Germany has revealed that Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and computer games are a more immediate threat to teenagers than alcohol and cannabis, highlighting the prevalence of dangerous and addictive digital media habits among the youth. [2]  “We are facing a tsunami of addiction disorders among young people, which I believe we are completely underestimating,” said Rainer Thomasius, medical director of the German Centre for Addiction Research in Childhood and Adolescence (DZSKJ) at the University Medical Centre Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE), which carried out the study with health insurer DAK. [3]  The study revealed that more than 25 per cent of 10 to 17-year-olds exhibit risky or pathological use of social media, with 4.7 per cent classified by experts as addicted. According to Thomasius, the rates of problematic media use are significantl...

Inevitable rise of ChatGPT and other AI tools in education must be managed, not resisted Artificial intelligence technology has sent educators into a frenzy, but with the right approach, it can enhance traditional pedagogy.    Read the following text, and answer questions 1-9 below: [1]  We live in an age of technological bonanzas. From virtual learning to wireless exchange, we are consumed by the euphoria of technological convenience. Such astonishing developments underline how beholden we have become to technology. [2]  Pandemic shutdowns galvanised education innovation and online learning has become an accepted alternative to classroom learning. But online interaction cannot simulate the experience of speaking face to face. Even with the much-touted metaverse, it is quixotic to assume it can displace physical learning.

  Nowadays it is easy to apply for and be given a credit card. However, some people experience problems when they are not able to pay their debt back. In your opinion, do the advantages of credit cards outweigh the disadvantages?      The use of credit cards has become increasingly common in modern society. While they offer clear financial benefits, they can also cause serious problems if misused. In my view, although credit cards have certain advantages, the disadvantages can be significant if individuals are not responsible with their use.      There are obvious advantages to having a credit card. Firstly, credit cards provide convenience, allowing people to make purchases quickly without carrying large amounts of cash. They are particularly useful in emergencies when immediate funds are needed but not readily available. In addition, many credit cards offer rewards, such as cashback, discounts, or points for travel, which can provide financial benef...

Many people think that the behavior of professional sportsmen off the field is not important as long as they are good players. To what extent do you agree or disagree with it? There is debate over whether the personal lives of professional athletes should matter to the public. While some argue that only their performance on the field is important, I believe that their behaviour off the field is equally significant, given their influence as role models. On the one hand, it is understandable why some people feel that a sportsman's private behaviour is irrelevant. Firstly, athletes are primarily employed to compete and succeed in their chosen sport. Their main responsibility is to perform well, entertain fans, and help their teams achieve victory. Judging them based on their personal choices could be seen as unfair, especially when those choices do not directly impact their sporting abilities. Furthermore, some argue that everyone has a right to a private life, and athletes should not...

An important decision you have made   One of the most important decisions I’ve ever made was choosing to switch my major from Business Administration to English Education during my second year of university. At first, I enrolled in business because it seemed like a safe and practical choice. But after one year of studying, I realized that I wasn’t passionate about it at all. I had always loved English, especially teaching and communicating, so I started thinking seriously about changing my path. I weighed the pros and cons, talked to my family, and even sought advice from one of my professors. Most people supported me, but some warned that it might be difficult to find a good job in education. Still, I decided to follow my intuition and go with what felt right. The result of that decision was incredible. I felt much more motivated in my new major. I got involved in teaching assistant roles, attended workshops, and even started tutoring students. It became a turning point in my...
