1. Đề bài: “Many people believe that international tourism is a bad thing for their country. What are the reasons? Solutions to change negative attitudes?”
“A hostile attitude towards the trend of international tourism has emerged amongst local people. This happens because this trend often disturbs the social balance and causes cultural misunderstandings in the local area. To change these negative attitudes, the authorities should impose a tax on tourist services and organise cultural-exchange events.
There are two significant reasons as to why hostility is felt by local residents against international tourism. One significant factor could be the threat that this industry poses to social cohesion in the local community. In other words, a group of people may benefit from providing services for foreign tourists, and become more prosperous than the rest, who are mostly fishermen and farmers. As such an income gap is created, people of lower levels of earnings may feel disadvantaged, and a negative attitude towards foreign travellers may prevail. In addition, foreign visitors may unintentionally antagonise the locals because of the cultural differences between these two groups of people. An example of this is that a Japanese waiter in a local restaurant may feel dishonoured if an American tourist leaves him a tip, a very common and well-appreciated practice in the US and other countries.
Some measures can be implemented to change the antagonistic attitude of locals towards international tourism. The first important solution is that the authorities may introduce new taxation schemes on tourism-related services, and use this tax money to invest in other industries. In this way, all residents can equally benefit from the rise of international tourism, and social balance in the area is maintained. Besides, there should be free-of-charge cultural-exchange programmes for all people. If such programmes were held, mutual cultural understanding between the locals and the visitors would be fortified, and the problem of cultural differences could be mitigated.
In conclusion, the fact that local citizens may perceive international travel as an adverse trend could be ascribed to cultural misunderstandings and the loss of social cohesion in the area. This negative perception can be properly addressed by a new tax on services for tourists and cultural-exchange activities.”
2. Đề bài: “It is more important for schoolchildren to learn about local history than world history. To what extent do you agree or disagree?”
“Teaching history to schoolchildren has been a heated topic over the years. There is a common belief that local history is more important to children than world history. There are, however, compelling reasons why such a belief is flawed.
The notion that local history is more valuable than world history should be rejected. Some people may claim that insights into local historical values are completely sufficient for one to know. Their claim could have been true a few decades ago when most interpersonal communications were between people of the same race and origin. This view, nevertheless, is now outdated as the world has become globalised and international business and migrant workers have made any community a global village. In this context, an understanding of a foreign country’s history would enable future local workers to reinforce the relationship between them and the expatriates from that country.
In addition to this, children would benefit the most only when the learning of local history is placed parallel to that of world history. To understand a local historical event, children should put the regional and sometimes even world context in that historical era into consideration. For example, children should acknowledge that the event in which Vietnam regained its independence after defeating the Japanese troops in Indochina in 1945 only happened after a series of relevant events in World War II, one of which is the surrender of Japan to the Allies. With this perspective, children would understand history more deeply and thoroughly.
In summary, the study of local history should always be parallel to that of world history. This practice would guarantee that children learn history more comprehensively and be able to tighten the bond with migrant workers in their country.”
