Classifying teachers
Introduction
Hook: Many people think that teaching is a simple work because teachers just stand in the platform and convey knowledge to students. However, how to teach effectively is not easy at all.
Background information: - Almost teachers have their own teaching methods.
-Some know how to make their students interested in the lessons. Some always have boring classes.
Thesis statement: Based on students' agreement about the teaching methods, teachers are classified in three categories: positive teachers, neutral teachers and negative teachers.
Body paragraph 1
Topic sentence:The positive teachers have the most effective teaching methods.
Supporting ideas:
• Contents of the lessons they teach are not limited in the textbooks, they also up-date information by giving handout documents, suggesting reference books.
• Students find it more interesting to attend the positive teachers' classes. Teachers organize discussion in class and encourage the students make questions, then they find out a final answer together. Teachers hold some useful game connecting with the lesson to make students remember the lesson longer and reduce stress.
• They apply technology in teaching. For example, powerpoint is to make lessons more attracting with images and videos. Email for contacting with students, sending exercise and useful links. Blog is offered so that students can share ideas and learn from their classmates.
Body paragraph 2
Topic sentence: unlike the positive teachers, the teaching methods of neutral teachers are not very agreeable.
Supporting ideas:
• They only teach lessons in the textbooks and suggest students read more related information at home.
• Their classes tend to be more boring than the positive teachers' classes. They offer discussion but they don't care if students are interested in the subject or not. They allow less time for discussion, don't want to join students' discussion.
• They apply technology in teaching but they don't know how to use it effectively. They ask students using powerpoint to make presentation, then they don't summarize the main ideas and explain more. They have email to contact with their students but seldom do they give feedback.
Body paragraph 3
Topic sentence: The negative teachers have the least effective teaching methods.
Supporting ideas:
• They primarily lecture and don't care if students understand or not. They often give a lot of exercises but never correct them. For example, my maths teacher in highschool, he offered many homework after class. Then the following maths class, he asked"did you do homework?" and we answered "no". he didn't punish us and also uncorrect them. He just said "really!" calmly. After that, we moved to a new lesson.
• Never use technology in teaching, knowledge they teach just based on the textbooks. They read information and students write down traditionally.
• The classes are very boring and stressful. It's hard to find any interaction between teacher and student. Teachers don't encourage students ask questions or organize groups for discussion in class.
Conclusion
Restatement : There are three types of teachers based on the teaching methods. The positive teachers are the most agreeable because they always try their best to complete their job effectively. The neutral teachers are a "mixture" of positive and negative teachers. The negative teachers are the least agreeable because they don't have enough love of labor.
Advice: Teachers should find which is the best teaching methods method so that can help students study well and improve knowledge.

Traffic issue
Introduction
_ Hook : Thousands of people die of traffic accidents every year so traffic is one of the most controversial issue these days.
_Background information :
+ That is the result of breaking the traffic law of many people. Although the government have used many solution to reduce accident rate ,it is not effective.
+ A stricter and heavier traffic fine regime took effect in Vietnam on May 20.
+ Many people approve because they believe that it helps reduce traffic accidents
+ Others disapprove because they find it unfair for the poor.
_Thesis statement: It is high time for us to conform the new traffic fine regime in order to reduce traffic accidents.
Body paragraph 1
_topic sentence : “ matter decides sense” stricter and heavier traffic fine regime makes people feel scared and worry so they will follow traffic law better.
+ the new law aim to economic psychology. If someone break the law ( money fines , impound vehicles and driving license )= losing money, stagnant business
-If the money for punishment is low, people will not worry and continue to break the law
-many boys or girls who break the traffic law will follow it better because they do not want to be punished by their parents
=> people dare not break the law => reduce traffic accidents
Body paragraph 2
_Topic sentence: the more people break the law , the more money country have to upgrade infrastructure to reduce traffic accidents.
+ many accidents due to low infrastructure ( narrow streets , limited public transit)
+ If infrastructure is upgraded = widen the road to reduce traffic jam, more modern equipment for traffic, rebuild road and many other equipment traffic, people are more aware of traffic ( no longer motorbikes transform sidewalks into extra lanes)
=>reducing traffic accidents.
Body paragraph 3
_counter argument: Besides many positive feedback ,there are still disapproving opinions because those find it unfair for the poor.
_concession : It is understood that if the poor break the law, they will get big trouble.
_refutation: all citizens are equal before the law, have same right when participating in traffic, so when someone break the law= he himself loses his right, we can not say that it is unfair.
_only people who often break the law care about the punishment.
_people who con form the traffic law do not care if the punishment rise or not.
Conclusion
Vietnam reported 11500 traffic-related deaths last year( the main reasons are relaxation of traffic law, low infrastructure)
Nothing should be considered as too severe if it results in reducing traffic accidents.

classification essay
students' problems
Entering university gives students many opportunities of success in the future. However, it also brings them quite a few problems which they have to struggle against every day. For example, how students spend their money suitably in order to save money for school fee, books, etc, how to get along with their classmates, so on. Therefore, these problems are classified into three groups: financial problems, eating habit problems, and emotional problems according to their effects to students' study.
The first group is financial problems which affects on students' study most. It means difficulties in money. There are many things in daily life that students have to encounter and solve by money such as renting a lodging, buying textbooks, entertaining themselves, especially paying school fee. For example, if a students does not submit his school fee in time, certainly he can't attend any classes, and it's hard for him choose subjects in the next semesters. Besides, many students who live far home receive a sum of money from their family each month. When they do not know how to spend the money effectively, the can't avoid lack of money. And then, some of them have to get a part time job to support their life and study. As a result, they do not have enough time to concentrate on their study. Obviously, students' study will be decreased by financial problems.
Eating habits of students are also a considered problem, because their eating habits are worse and worse. However, they rarely care about that. Most of students often go to school with an empty stomach. When I asked my friends about that, they said that they do not have enough time to eat. So, how can they study well without any energy like that? In addition, many students who have a lodging often save money by eating simply. For example, one of my friends has her main meal just with rice and vegetables because she thinks that she want to keep fit and save money. Furthermore, many male students who do not how to cook food after school go out to eat quickly or just have an instant noodle. Whether such kinds of food are nutrient and hygiene enough or not.Therefore, how can they prevent themselves from illness, and then their studies will be affected. Indeed, it is time for students care more about their eating habits to protect their health and study well.
The last group is emotional problems which also impact on students' study. It means that mental states make students sad, happy, annoy, funny or disappointed,etc. As we know, most of students live far from home, so it's easy for them become lonely. For example, when I began to live alone in Ho Chi Minh city to attend university, I used to cry and miss my family so much. At first, I couldn't focus on my study well. Indeed the feeling of loneliness affected on my study indirectly. Besides, these days many boy and girl students have a tend to make "couple", they love each other. Although love brings human the feeling of happiness, awareness of students about love is still premature. As a result, there are many situations of broken love in students. And then, many boys and girls who are the victims of love become sad, disappointed and neglect their study. For instance, my friend, she used to be a good student. But since she was left by her boyfriend, she was very sad and her study was worse and worse. In general, emotional problems can change students' study negatively.
To sum up, there are three groups of students' problems: financial problems, eating habit problems and emotional problems based on their effect on students' study.
Five basis food groups
Eating a variety of foods everyday helps us get a healthy and balanced diet; it also keeps our meal interesting and full of flavor. However, have you ever thought about how the foods are categorized in our daily meals? And what does food group mean? In fact, when foods have similar nutritional values, they are grouped together. Therefore, based on the nutritional benefits of foods, scientists classify them in five basis food groups.
The first group is grains which are an important source of energy. They consist of cereals, bread, brown rice, pasta, popcorn etc. Basis nutrients from grain category are carbohydrate, fiber, some vitamins and minerals. They provide energy for us to eat everyday. Thus, whole grains are considered as the healthiest choices and people often choose them as the first ingredient in every meal. In brief, grains are a main food group for our life due to their rich energy.
Fruits and vegetables are an all-natural food group with many different nutrients. They supply fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, potassium and folic acid. Generally, vegetables contain higher amounts of fibers than other food groups, so they are very good our digestive system. Besides, fruits are rich in antioxidants, which protect the body from potentially harmful substances. For example, some citrus fruits such as lemon, oranges, grapes are high in vitamin C. In short, this food group brings a rich source of nutrients especially fiber that are good for our heath.
The third group is proteins such as meats, fish, eggs, poultry, beans. They help our body to build and retain muscle, as well as provide the energy we need everyday. This category supply protein, zinc, iron, and vitamin B. Meat is a major source of vitamin B12. fish is an important source of proteins. Also, eggs are a rich source of iron and protein. Indeed, these nutrients are essential for growth of the body.
The fourth group is dairy, which is the best source of calcium. Daily products include milk, cheese, cream, butter, and yogurt. They bring protein, vitamin A, and D. As we know, calcium is very good for the heath of bones and vitamin D is required for building and maintaining bone health. Besides, some dairy foods are high in fat such as ice cream, cheese, milk, which help build up the body and provide energy. In short, this food group helps promote strong bones and a healthy body.
The last one is fats and sweets; they provide very little nutritional benefits when consumed. Fats such as oils, butter, cheese, peanuts are plenty of calories. Also, sweets like jams, candies, desserts, soft drinks contain high amount of sugar. In fact, most of the foods in this group do not consist of vitamins and minerals. Thus, this food group has less nutrients than other groups, yet they are also considered a essential part of healthy diet.
In conclusion, foods are classified in five basis groups according to their nutritional benefits including grains, fruits & vegetables, proteins, dairy, fats & sweets. Each food group provides nutritional benefits, so foods from each group should be consumed each day. Learning more about these food groups, you will know how to balance foods in your daily diet.

SOS
80% of lung cancers are caused by smoking; 80% of lung cancer victims die within 3 years, according to Heath Canada. Do you feel that the statistics are really frightening? In fact, cigarette smoking is a hot issue in the world that drive most governments headachable. There are plenty of debates, forums, etc about tobacco 's effects, but smoking is still happening day by day. A common question is whether prohibiting tobacco using as heroin consumption is the best solution or not. In my point of view, the cigarette smoking should be banned because of its terrible consequences.
First of all, smoking is very harmful to humans' health. To smokers, lung cancer, vascular disease, chronic bronchitis are three popular diseases that they hardly avoid and lung cancer is the most dangerous disease. According to Rofer Henderson (2009), cigarette smoke contains more than 4,000 chemicals, many of which have been identified as causing cancers. If a smoker consume more than 20 cigarettes a day, the risk of developing lung cancer is 30 to 40 times higher than others. For example, a man living next to my house used to be addicted to tobacco. Five months ago, he got long cough and pain in his chest. As a result, he was diagnosed lung cancer. Doctor said that he can only live within 5 years. Now, lying in the bed, he feel very sad and regretful. He is a bread-winner, how his family live without him. That is a poor story! Besides, smoking has effects to non-smokers. People who are around smokers also breathe tobacco smoke; of course, its toxic chemicals will "enter" their bodies. Scientists have proved that tobacco smoke can cause pneumonia, bronchitis, and ear infections for victims of the passive smoking especially for children. I remember at the age of 11, I had long cough for a long time. I took medicine so much but the symptom stay worse. My parents decided to take me to hospital. Doctor said that I had bronchitis because of the smoke effect of my father. After that my father determine to quit smoking to protect my family's health. Indeed, people are killed gradually by smoking; so, It is not good to smoke at all.
Secondly, smoking affects for our environment negatively.Firstly, there are about 4,000 chemicals found in cigarette smoke, which are exhaled and released in the air. It means that a huge mass of pollution have been being released in our atmosphere everyday. Next, smoking also harm to land and water. Millions of cigarette butts are discarded on the ground everyday and everywhere like on the grass, in the drains, on the pavements, etc. when it rain, the butts can be swept in the drains and end up in the drivers. If any animal or fish eat them, they hardly avoid death. Besides, poisonous chemicals in the butts can also pollute the soil and the plants. In addition, cigarette butts can cause fire especially in dry season. According to the American Burn Association, each year about 900 people in the UK die in fires started by cigarettes, about 2500 are injured, poverty costs of fires caused by careless smoking total about $ 6 billions. In brief, our environment is threatened seriously by smoking. It is high time for smokers think about what they did and change their minds.
Despite the bad effects of smoking, many people still keep smoking, they said that they feel comfortable, refreshed and pay more attention on their work after enjoying cigarettes. I agree that in some situations like you tired,stressful; perhaps, a cigarette can be a good medicine. However, have you ever thought about your health in the future? Almost each cigarette box has a warning " smoking is harmful to your health" on it. I am sure that you used to read the sentence before smoking. In the present, you feel better, but after 3 to 5 years and later It will cost you a lot of money to cure diseases caused by smoking . In addition, when you smoke cigarette, have you ever thought about feeling of others around you? My friends often say that they feel offensive and angry when standing near smokers. Obviously, tobacco smoke affects heath of non-smokers. If you are a husband,or a father you should think more about this problem to protect not only yourself but also your family.
In conclusion, I strongly disagree with cigarette smoking. Smoking causes dangerous diseases especially lung cancer, and secondhand smoke affects directly to people's health. Besides, environment is also polluted by tobacco. I hope that smokers will recognize these bad effects and quit smoking as soon as possible.

uniforms in schools
Today, most of the schools demand students wear uniforms in their own schools. Whether school uniforms are suitable for students or not. What benefits do they bring? Do they make our study better? Indeed, it is a controversial issue in our society. In my point of view, students should wear uniforms because of equality and practicality.
First of all, wearing uniforms helps students feel equal in their school. All of them begin at the same place; it is not distinguish they are poor or rich. For example, near my house, there is a class 3 pupil. Her family is so poor that she go to school with old casual clothes. Sometimes, I catch sight of that she cries ; and she complains with her mother " my friends tease me, my clothes! They play away from me. I am envious with them." After that her mother realize it and let her go to school with a tiny, new uniform. Now, that girl get along with her classmates and always come back home with a smile in her face. Indeed, students will feel self-confident because there is no distance between them, and they can be really friends to each other under one school roof.
Secondly, it is practical to wear uniforms. First, school government has spent a lot of time on designing suitable uniforms so that students can wear them and study comfortably all day. Besides, it does not take us time to think of what to wear every day. Only spending a few minutes every morning, students can have an uniform on and also feel proud of labels bearing their school's name. In addition, wearing uniforms are also a practical solution to reduce unsuitable dressing in school. Obviously, a part of students have a tend to wear fashionable, colorful clothes, mini skirts even sexy clothes at school. They want to show their own styles, but it is not good at all. Do they go to school or go on catwalk? Therefore, we often have a positive look with those who have tidy, nice uniforms on.
Many students say that they like wearing casual clothes because they have freedom of choice in colors, size, and fashion. I agree that they will be nicer with such clothes specially in parties, holidays, etc. However, in school, if each student has each style, school will become disorder. And then, it is easy to lose beauty and discipline of school. In addition, their job are learning, whether colorful, fashionable clothes can improve their knowledge or not. In the end, uniforms are better than any casual clothes at school.
In conclusion, I strongly approve that students wear uniforms in school. It not only brings students feeling of equality but also makes practicality. Uniforms create beauty and discipline for school. I hope that students who hate wearing uniforms realize that and change their minds after reading these pages.

Effects of flood in our society
Viet Nam is a country with abundant natural resources, annually Red River and Me Kong River bring the enormous alluvial deposits for our country to develop agriculture. However, they also cause many natural phenomenon especially floods. When the rivers are in flood stage, people must suffer from destruction even loss their lives. Indeed, floods cause many negative effects in our society. In my point of view, there are three main effects of flood: physical damage, casualties, and economic decrease.
The first consequence of floods is physical damage. The power of water flow can swallow anything on their trip. They can destroy any type of structure including bridges, dikes, houses, buildings, sewer systems, fields, etc. Besides, floods often go with storms. It is hard for anything to exist in such bad conditions. In fact, in 1999, residents in central Viet Nam suffered from a terrible flood. As a result, their furniture and property were carried away by the water; their houses and gardens were swamped into the river. Thousands of people had seen their homes and rice fields destroyed.
Secondly, floods also cause many casualties. First, people and live stock die due to drowning. Some lucky people can live on their roof or cling certain logs to drift along the water and hope emergency aid. Besides , people must face to shortages of foods; so, dying of hungry is also one of effects of flood. In addition, floods lead to dangerous diseases. Because water supplies are contaminated, clean drinking water become scare. In unhygienic water and foods conditions, water-borne diseases such as cholera, diarrheal, etc will able to spread rapidly. As a result, if people do not know how to protect themselves from those diseases, their lives will stay threatened on flooding days.
Finally, floods make our country's economy decreasing. When floods happen, officials will be responsible for evacuating the victims, organizing aids and delivering foods. It takes a lot of time and money on struggling against floods. As a result of floods, government spend a large of money on rebuilding infrastructures. Besides, in agriculture, lack of food crops can be caused due to loss of entire harvest. For example, flooding in Me Kong Delta will make rice-growing reduced dramatically. It affects on benefits both farmers and national economy.
In conclusion, flooding causes three main consequences including physical damage, casualties and economic decrease. we should recognize its effects to protect ourselves and government should process effective solutions to reduce floods.

What makes you happy?
Have you ever wondered you are a happy person or not. It means that you have what you want, you feel satisfied with your life, etc. However, it is hard to find a common answer for this question because everyone has their own feeling of happiness. It can be a piece of cake when you feel hungry, a shoulder of passion when you feel sad, even a look from anyone. Indeed, there are many reasons lead to our own happiness. For me, cozy family, good health, and true love are three factors to make me happy.
First of all, to me, my family is the most wonderful place in the world. I have grown up in my parents' love, so they not only take care of me carefully but also teach me how to become a good human. When I feel sad, my mother stands by me to share and console me. Also, they always encourage me to overcome difficulties in my life. Now I am living far from home for study, so it is really happy for me to reunite with my family on holidays. Not for me, I believe that almost people who live far from home all feel happy when coming back their hometowns, getting together and enjoying cozy meals with their families. In fact, happiness comes from such simple things. Do not pursue happiness in a certain far place. If you still live in a cozy family with your parents' love, treasure it!
Furthermore, heath also plays an important role in a happy life. Sound mind in a sound body is a state of being that everyone wants to achieve. A strong body without illness will make us study and work more effectively. Besides, a sound mind is a state of being optimistic, unworried, and peaceful. Just compare between a sound mind person and a pessimistic person who always has creases in her face. Certainly, the first person will able to take trust from people around more than another person. Thus, life will bring many opportunities and joy for those have soundness in their mind. For example. I used to be taken to hospital when I was 10 years old. At that time, I got feverish that I could not move from the bed. I felt tired and disappointed so much, because I had not enjoyed my life yet, my dreams are still in my mind. After 3 week for treatment, I gradually recovered from the disease and could smile, play like the other children. My parents hugged me and cried in happiness. Then, I realized how precious health is! If we are not healthy enough, we hardly make our dreams come true.
Lastly, I would like mention about the power of love in a happy life. When we love someone, we will have motivation to make us more perfect. For example, in high school, I had a love at the first sight with a boy in my class. Can you believe that I could smile when I saw him smiling? From a ugly girl, I begin to take care of my appearance more beautiful, so I felt more confident and proud of myself in front of people. Also, he and I promised with each other to study well. From a bad maths studying student, I became a good student ranked 6th in my class. My love motivate me do such many things. Besides, love also bring us the feeling of safety and happiness. There are many things children hardly show their parents, so we always need to have a trust shoulder to pour comfort into our heart whenever we are in bad mood. Also, your lover is always by your side when you feel sad and he will take the sorrow away from you. Love itself make life more colorful and beautiful.
In conclusion, there are three main reasons contribute to my happiness. Family is my house, health is power for me to support my house, and love is a paintbrush to make my house more beautiful. To me, It not difficult to catch happiness. It is always exist by your side if you know how to treasure things you have.
First of all, to me, my family is the most wonderful place in the world. I have grown up in my parents' love, so they not only take care of me carefully but also teach me how to become a good human. When I feel sad, my mother stands by me to share and console me. Also, they always encourage me to overcome difficulties in my life. Now I am living far from home for study, so it is really happy for me to reunite with my family on holidays. Not for me, I believe that almost people who live far from home all feel happy when coming back their hometowns, getting together and enjoying cozy meals with their families. In fact, happiness comes from such simple things. Do not pursue happiness in a certain far place. If you still live in a cozy family with your parents' love, treasure it!
Furthermore, heath also plays an important role in a happy life. Sound mind in a sound body is a state of being that everyone wants to achieve. A strong body without illness will make us study and work more effectively. Besides, a sound mind is a state of being optimistic, unworried, and peaceful. Just compare between a sound mind person and a pessimistic person who always has creases in her face. Certainly, the first person will able to take trust from people around more than another person. Thus, life will bring many opportunities and joy for those have soundness in their mind. For example. I used to be taken to hospital when I was 10 years old. At that time, I got feverish that I could not move from the bed. I felt tired and disappointed so much, because I had not enjoyed my life yet, my dreams are still in my mind. After 3 week for treatment, I gradually recovered from the disease and could smile, play like the other children. My parents hugged me and cried in happiness. Then, I realized how precious health is! If we are not healthy enough, we hardly make our dreams come true.
Lastly, I would like mention about the power of love in a happy life. When we love someone, we will have motivation to make us more perfect. For example, in high school, I had a love at the first sight with a boy in my class. Can you believe that I could smile when I saw him smiling? From a ugly girl, I begin to take care of my appearance more beautiful, so I felt more confident and proud of myself in front of people. Also, he and I promised with each other to study well. From a bad maths studying student, I became a good student ranked 6th in my class. My love motivate me do such many things. Besides, love also bring us the feeling of safety and happiness. There are many things children hardly show their parents, so we always need to have a trust shoulder to pour comfort into our heart whenever we are in bad mood. Also, your lover is always by your side when you feel sad and he will take the sorrow away from you. Love itself make life more colorful and beautiful.
In conclusion, there are three main reasons contribute to my happiness. Family is my house, health is power for me to support my house, and love is a paintbrush to make my house more beautiful.

How to build a computer
Nowadays, it is hard to image life without the usefulness of computers. To adapt to the modern life, we always want to equip ourselves with suitable computers. However, many people have had troubles before deciding to buy pre-building computers. They often worry about prices and qualities of those computers. Therefore, I would like to share some experiences about building your own computers. You can both choose better components of computers and save your money. Indeed, the following steps can help you build your own computer effectively.
Firstly, you need to prepare materials and tools. The basis parts of a computer are motherboard, processor, ram, video card, case, power supply, hard drive, optical drive, keyboard, mouse and speaker. It is easy to buy these components in many computer stores, and they are often cheaper when bought separately. In addition, the recommended tools are some screws, spacers, wires and strap. Remember that you always ground yourself by using a wrist strap or work on a grounded surface.
Secondly, you begin to assemble motherboard. Put the motherboard on the table. Next, add processor and ram to the motherboard. Processor come with its own fan. You should align marked corner of processor and socket. Remember, install ram with firm pressure. Then, install plate with motherboard, you will hear a click when they are in place. Also, spacers will come with the motherboard, you should line up motherboard with plate and spacers. Be careful when installing screws. After that, use screws to secure power supply. There will be an obvious connector on the power supply and small four pin connector for the chip, so attach them to the motherboard. And then, use manual to connect remaining wires. Finally, connect case fans using available wires from power supply. Remember that fan side faces outside and wires face inside.
Thirdly, you need to install hard disk and CD drive. First, connect power supply to the hard disk and connect using supplied cable. You should align red stripe with pin one on the motherboard, because one slide of slot will be marked as pin one. Make sure the drive is aligned properly. Next, install drive with four screws. Then, use any available power connector and connect drive using supplied cable. Also, connect CD drive audio, video card. You can now attach your monitor to the video card or motherboard connector along with keyboard, mouse and any other devices you have.
In conclusion, you can self-build your own computer through the guidelines above. You not only save money but also have fun. Besides, you can learn experiences from doing a process by yourself. I am sure that your computer can operate well if you follow these steps.
