however, due to the increase time pressure and stress, families are forced to
cooperate more, which brings them closer together.

BODY

Sequencing word + topic + reason
The main reason why I believe family life is being compromised is because
families have less time to be with each other.
2. Supporting sentences

Explanation – Example – Adding details

Explaination: As individual family members are busier at work and with their
social lives, they have less time to spend with their family.

Adding details: As well as this, people have many things they have to do these
days such as checking e-mail, updating their online social status and so less time is
left for family life

Example: To illustrate, I spend about two hours online every night attending to
daily correspondence before chatting with my family members.
Avoiding overgeneralization

3. Đưa ra lý do
since, as, because

Developing ideas
1. Out of school activities help children develop because they can learn
subjects that are not in the school curriculum. For example, children are
equipped with survival skills such as making fire, cooking, building shelters
and so on when they go camping.
2. Education is being reduced to a production line because the focus is on
targets rather than on learning.
3. Travel helps to broaden the minds of children because it helps to bring to life
the things they read in class. For instance, when going to historical sites,
children can see the artifacts and historical architecture which trigger their
curiosity and thus, motivate them to discover more about the history.
4. Private education complements (bổ sung) state education very well as it can
do things state education cannot. Take the number of students in a class for
example, private schools often provide small classes that helps the teacher
take good care of each student. By doing so, the student’s strengths and
weaknesses are identified.

Ex 9
a. Many people believe that foreign language learning should be compulsory as
we are living in an integrating world
