The pie charts illustrate the main news sources for teenagers, young adults, and old people according to a survey conducted in 2022.
Overall, television was the most popular source for all age groups. It was chosen by 42 per cent of old people, and more than one third of teenagers and young adults. Meanwhile, the Internet source emerged as a strong contender for younger audiences. While only 6 per cent of old people rely on the internet for news, this number jumps to 33 per cent for young adults and a surprising 52 per cent for teenagers. By contrast, printed newspapers were the second choice of news source for old people with 29 percent, while only 7 per cent for teenagers and 6 per cent for young adults. Young adults and old people relied on "other" sources for news around a quarter, while teenagers only had 4 per cent.
People are beginning to use home robots. They have advantages and disadvantages. We must carefully consider the pros and cons before welcoming these robotic helpers into our homes.
Using home robots has several advantages. They free us from repetitive chores like cleaning, allowing more time for leisure activities and family bonding. Some robots even interact and play games, becoming companions, especially for those living alone.
However, there are downsides to consider. Reliance on AI can lead to a decline in critical thinking skills. Just like relying on calculators weakens mental math abilities, constantly turning to robots for solutions could weaken our ability to think creatively and solve problems independently. Additionally, robots can cultivate laziness, as tasks are completed without effort. Furthermore, the cost of development and maintenance is high. Robots require expensive parts and programming for each specific task. This investment may not be feasible for everyone.
Home robots may make lives easier and happier, but there are certain problems as well. While home robots can answer questions, provide information, and work tirelessly, the potential drawbacks cannot be ignored.
This report addresses the issues of traffic congestion, noise, and air pollution at the school's entrance, and proposes two potential solutions.
Many parents drive their children to and from school daily, leading to long lines of private cars and motorcycles outside the school gate twice a day, five days a week. Consequently, traffic jams, noise, and air pollution have worsened, which negatively impacts the health of both students and parents as well as the surrounding environment.
To solve this problem, we suggest two solutions. First, students should be encouraged to use public transport such as buses if they live far away from school. The school could arrange for free bus tickets to motivate students to use public transport. Second, those who live near school should be invited to join the school Cycling-to-school programme, which will help them find an experienced cycling buddy who lives nearby and knows the safe cycling routes to school.
By promoting the use of public transport and cycling to school, we can create a greener school environment and foster a green lifestyle among the youth. Therefore, it is recommended to implement these solutions as soon as possible.

Nowadays, more and more young Vietnamese people are embracing the celebration of festivals like Christmas and Halloween. In my opinion, this trend has both positive and negative impacts on the youth in Vietnam.
Firstly, the positive aspect of this trend is the encouragement of extracurricular activities. Celebrating global festivals provides opportunities for creative expression, fostering a sense of teamwork and skill development among young individuals. This contributes positively to their personal growth and well-rounded development.
Secondly, there is a concern that such global celebrations may lead to the loss of cultural identity among the youth. It is crucial to strike a balance between embracing foreign cultures and preserving traditions. The risk of neglecting local festivals must be acknowledged to maintain a strong sense of identity.
Finally, exposure to different cultures during global festivals helps young Vietnamese people learn about the world. This cultural exchange fosters understanding and building a more interconnected global community.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that while celebrating international festivals has its positive aspects, the youth in Vietnam needs to maintain a balance. Embracing foreign cultures should not come at the expense of neglecting their rich traditions. A balanced approach will ensure the positive impacts outweigh the potential negative consequences.
