SAMPLE ESSAY:
These days, more and more people are going to other countries for
significant periods of time, either to find a job or to study. Discuss the
advantages and disadvantages of living and working in a foreign
country?
In recent times, taking a year out to live or study overseas has become
increasingly popular. From my viewpoint, the drawbacks of moving
overseas are eclipsed by the benefits.
As a matter of fact, there are a couple of compelling reasons why

people move away. First and foremost, going abroad can broaden
individuals’ horizons simply because they have the chance to meet
people from different cultural backgrounds and learn to cope with
foreign customs and food. This can make individuals more rounded as
a person. Secondly, moving abroad can lead to a better quality of life.
Take British people for example; thousands of citizens from the UK
move to Spain and Australia every year since these nations have
warmer climates as well as encourage a better work-life balance.
Turning to the other side of the argument, culture shock is a major

problem. Numerous people who take a year out find it hard to cope
with the language barrier, the food and general cultural differences.
This often leads to homesick and in some cases a sense of isolation.
Another drawback is that it can be hard to start a new life from
scratch. In other words, once individuals go abroad, they have to
make new friends and seek their accommodation in the community.
This process takes plenty of time as well as can be especially
challenging if there is also a language barrier to deal with.
In conclusion, starting life in a foreign country is never easy. People

need to weigh up the positives of the better lifestyle, weather as well
as knowledge, and the negatives of culture shock and language
barrier. Personally, I believe the benefits in terms of personal growth
eventually outweigh any negatives.

+move to = relocate to = emigrates.
+ adequate = decent = good >< detrimental = bad
+ basic : cơ bản
+ booming : bùng nổ
+ detrimental = bad = catastrophic:
+ enormous = big = huge
+ pressing = urgent = alarming khẩn cấp
+ staggering =surprising
1 booming
2 enormous
3.basic
Cụm hay : employment and educational opportunities (cơ hội việc làm và giáo dục) are the
main attraction of urban centres.
Put an enormous strain on sb/sth (đặt 1 cái gánh nặng)
