Skyscraper More and more skyscrapers springing up in big cities these days which brings about some possible effects. Firstly, it seems as the answer to the accommodation matter of citizens, in ever increasing numbers. For example, most residential areas in Ha Noi are multi-storey buildings that provide the number of dwelling for city mouses. Therefore, people, who migarate to big cities to search of better opportunities, are free from care of housing matter. Secondly, skyscrapers give cities a modern look and adorne further for the face of the urban. Keangnam Tower and Lotte Centre are typical examples for that. They are so attractive that many people even if those from other continent want to live in. Looking at the world, the other developed countries such as USA, Japan are also surrounded by high-rise buildings as universal symbol of modernization and development. Finally, towering buildings make the most of land value; consequently, saving land for other purposes. People are becoming more demanding for every aspect of their lives such as education, health care, entertainment and so on. Due to these demands, constructing tall buildings leave a wide intervals for schools, hospitals, parks. According to its causes and effects, increasing the number of skyscrapers may be a wise choice.

Writing It was September when I entered this university. It was the dream school of most of my friends, thus, I was very proud of me. I tried a lot lately and I was really contented. However, I found it extremely difficult to become conditioned to the new environment. Firstly, I had to be completely independent of my family. I had to lern how to live when being far from my parents, how to set up and prepare everything, especially , how to take care myself after all. Because of changing place of accommofation, it seemed little bit hard to get adjusted to the new lifestyle in the city. In the first weeks, I could not sleep comfortably. It was reason why I always felt tired and aprosexia. That was really difficult time for me but I learned to overcome. My roomates helped me a lot. We shared our troubles with together and found the solution to them. They strengthened motivation in myself. That was a big favor. The second difficulty is the courses that were totally different to my stydying before. I chose Fuculty of English Language Teacher Education – FELTE so I had to learn by English. In the earliest days, it was very terrible with me because I couldn’t listen or speak anything and I only keep quite all the lecture. At that time, I only had one thought was that I wantted to come back my home and gave up the school. Teacher often spoke English whole the lecture and I got nothing that caused my ignorance. Teachers and classmates, however, fired me up. With their care and aid, I improved step by step. I found that university teachers were very young and enthusiastic. They not only taught us in the class, but also always got ready to support for us whenever we needed. They dedicately guided me from the first days, as a result, my english was better a lot. Additionally, I was more confident than before. I always be grateful to them for their enormous help. That’s about my life at university at that time. I hope you can find youself in this paper and realize you are so lucky when studying at this school – University of leaguage and international study where you always find the help from the other people.

lecture 2 _ Can you check for me? Quickly, please!!!!! The lecture is about some of the benefits and the possible risks of GM (genetically modified) food. Firstly, the author indicates its three benefits by beginning with a persuasive debate. The first great benefit is that genetically modified plants may need fewer pesticides than normal plants, which leads to less pollution in the environment. Another notable merit of genetically modified plants is that they may grow better than normal plants. To demonstrate this, the author takes strawberries for a typical example. It can be grown in the spring while the others usually die. The final one is that many genetically modified plants stay fresh longer after they are harvested. It means that there is more time to sell them as well as less food is thrown away and wasted. To continue the lecture, the author also mentions three possible risks of genetically modified food. One risk is that genetically modified plants may start to dominate the other wild plants. That is a reason why they are at risk and gradually extinct. Another risk is that genetically modified plants will hurt wild animals and insects in the environment. For example, genetically modified corn is very dangerous for the survival of butterflies. But probably, the most important risk is that genetically modified food may be harmful to people who consume food in some ways because scientist modify genes from animals or plants. To end up, a conclusion given from the lecture is that there are both benefits and risks of genetically modified food.

Lecture Can you check for me? The lecture is about some of the benefits and the possible risks of genetically modified or GM food. Firstly, the lecturer compiles a list of three benefits. The first great benefit is that genetically modified plants need fewer pesticides than the normal ones, which may reduce the risk of pollution to the environment. Another significant advantage of genetically modified plants is that they may grow better than normal plants. One instance that demonstrates this is that genetically modified strawberries can grow well in cold weather while the normal ones usually die. The final benefit of the genetically modified plants is that they stay fresh longer after they are harvested. It means that there is more time to sell them. Additionally less food is thrown away and wasted. To continue the lecture, the author also mentions three possible risks of genetically this type of food. The first considerable risk is that genetically modified plants may start to dominate the other wild plants. Another risk is that these plants will hurt wild animals and insects in the environment. It’s doubtful if genetically modified corn is killing the butterflies. Harm to consumer’s health is the most important risk and probably the most hazardous risk of genetically modified plants because people don’t know if plants which contain genes from animals are harmful or not. There is still no answer to the question: Do the benefits of genetically modified food outweigh the risks ?
