Sample 1:
People now have the freedom to work and live anywhere in the world due to the development of communication technology and transportation.
Do the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?
These days many people choose to live or work in other countries, which has been made possible because of the convenience of air travel and modern communications. I believe that this has more benefits than drawbacks.
The disadvantage of this development is the distance that is put between family members. If a person moves away it is true that air travel and devices such as skype mean that communication and contact can be maintained. However, it is likely that a person will only be able to return one or two times a year during holidays, and speaking on skype or via email is not the same as face-to-face contact.
Despite this, there are significant advantages it can bring to people’s lives. Firstly, it means that people have the opportunity to see other parts of the world and the way people live. For example, people from the West often go to work in Asia or the Middle East and visa-versa. This enriches many people’s lives as they get to learn about other languages, traditions, cultures and different ways of working from their own country.
In addition to this, on a wider level it may also benefit other countries. If someone moves abroad for work, it is usually because their skill is required there. To illustrate, nurses and Doctors often move to work in hospitals in other countries when there is a shortage, so this is very valuable to the place they move to.
I would therefore argue that although there are disadvantages of the current trend to live and work abroad, they are outweighed by the advantages. It can enrich people’s lives and lives of the people in the countries that they move to.

Sample 2:
In order to solve traffic problems, governments should tax private car owners heavily and use the money to improve public transportation.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of such a solution?
(Topic) Traffic problems in many cities around the world are becoming more and more serious. (Background Information) One possible solution to this problem is to impose heavy taxes on car drivers and use this money to make public transport better. (Mentioning the areas covered in the body) Such a measure has its own advantages and disadvantages.
(Topic sentence 1) It is clear that imposing heavy taxes on car drivers has some noteworthy positive effects. (Supporting idea 1) One of the first benefits of such a measure is that the heavy taxes would discourage car owners from using their cars because it would become very expensive to drive. This would mean that they would begin to make use of public transport instead, thus reducing traffic problems and pollution as well. (Supporting idea 2) Another benefit would be that much more use would be made of public transport if it were improved. It is often the case that public transport in cities is very poor. For example, we often see old buses and trains that people would rather not use. High taxes could generate enough money to make the necessary changes.
(Topic sentence 2) Nevertheless, there are drawbacks to such a solution. (Supporting idea 1) First and foremost, this might be a heavy burden on the car drivers. At present, taxes are already high for a lot of people, and so further taxes would only mean less money at the end of the month for most people who may have no choice but to drive every day. (Supporting idea 2) In addition, this type of tax would likely to be set at a fixed amount. This would mean that it would hit those with less money harder, whilst the rich could likely afford it. It is therefore not a fair tax.
To conclude, this solution is worth considering to improve the current situation, but there are advantages and disadvantages of introducing such a policy.

Một số điểm mạnh cần lưu ý của bài viết:
- Cấu trúc của bài viết rất rõ ràng. Các bạn theo dõi phần mình chú thích trong bài viết.
- Cách dùng Cautious Language: Ngôn ngữ được sử dụng rất thận trọng. Cautious language là những từ, cấu trúc để đưa ra ý kiến rất thận trọng. Ở đây, đề bài yêu cầu bạn đưa ra những Advantages và Disadvantages của một Solution, mà Solution đó ở dạng giả định, nghĩa là điều đó chưa xảy ra (theo đề bài). Vì vậy, bạn không thể dùng ngôn ngữ một cách quá chắc chắn như: must, have to, it’s someone’s responsiblity, someone has to be responsible for something,…
Thay vào đó, Cautious language dùng cách chia của câu điều kiện loại 2. Ở đây, bạn sử dụng cấu trúc như: should/could/may/might… + verb. Trong bài viết, mình đã gạch chân dưới Cautious Language.
- Synonyms: Từ đồng nghĩa cũng được sử dụng rất linh hoạt. Ví dụ: measure/solution, disadvantages/drawbacks,…
