LIFE IN AN ISLAND
Off the west coast of Scotland, there are many small island communities. Life in these communities is very different from life in the big cities. People from the cities often say that life in the islands is slow and boring. But the island people tell a different story.
Many families live by fishing or farming, and people usually have more than one job. Many families have rooms for tourists who come to visit the islands in summer. The tourists go walking and fishing and play sports. Sometimes they study Gaelic, the local language. And they stay in a 'bed and breakfast' with a local family or in one of the small island hotels. In the long summer evenings, people meet and talk together. They tell stories of where they live and what they do.
The children on the islands go to small local schools. They have their classes in English and Gaelic. Sometimes there are only eight or ten children in one school! When they are twelve, they go to secondary school in a bigger town on the island. When they finish that school, they decide whether to go to university in a big city, or to stay and work on the island.
1. City people and island people have the same opinion about island life. F

3. Tourists can stay with local families in summer. T

Do you think the Maori system is a good idea? Why?/ Why not?
=> Yes , I do. Because it helps young people to change their behaviour, it tries to bring something positive from a negative situation, and most of the time it succeeds.
Đúng ra phải có từ 50 -> 70 từ cơ.
Mình làm được 1 bài rồi nhưng muốn tham khảo thêm bài các bạn.
I think the Maori system is a good idea because it can educate young people without violence. That way won't give any bad memory to the youth. The youth will learn how to say sorry to other people. But some young wouldn't understand. They still think their actions are correct. Or because they don't afraid of saying sorry. They still do it after they have apologised. So I think Maori people should have a stricter system.

Learning English

Tôi không thể tưởng tượng sống cuộc sống của tôi mà không có gia đình của tôi bên cạnh tôi. Gia đình là rất quan trọng và có giá trị đối với tôi và là một cái gì đó mà không bao giờ nên được đưa cho các cấp. Không có gia đình tôi, một phần lớn cuộc sống và văn hóa của tôi sẽ bị mất tích. Cho dù đó là ông bà của tôi, hai chị em của tôi, mẹ tôi, hoặc bố tôi, tôi biết tôi luôn có thể dựa vào một ai đó để giúp tôi cảm thấy tốt hơn. Trong thực tế, tôi nghĩ rằng đây có lẽ là điều quan trọng nhất mà gia đình tôi đã dạy tôi; một gia đình được tạo thành từ những người bạn có thể tin tưởng và bạn có thể tin tưởng ai. Quá nhiều lần ngày hôm nay, chúng tôi đọc trong các bài báo về các gia đình mà cha mẹ lạm dụng con cái của họ, bằng lời nói và thể chất. Điều mà những bậc cha mẹ này không nhận ra là họ bắt đầu hoặc liên quan đến bản thân trong một vòng luẩn quẩn của sự thù hận trong gia đình. Khi cha mẹ lạm dụng con cái của họ, họ đang nói với con cái của họ rằng đó là cách để nuôi dạy trẻ em, và đây là những gì con cái của họ học. Tôi đã may mắn, tôi đã học được một cách khác nhau, bởi vì gia đình tôi quan tâm đến tôi, và tôi quan tâm đến họ. Trong thế giới hoài nghi này, bất an, và sợ hãi, gia đình tôi luôn ở đó cho tôi, nắm lấy cánh tay của họ mở ra cho tôi với tình yêu. Vào ngày đầu tiên của lớp một, tôi không muốn đi học, tôi đã có những con bướm trong dạ dày của tôi và tôi thấy khó đi lại vì tôi rất lo lắng. Lý do duy nhất mà tôi cuối cùng vào lớp là vì mẹ tôi đi cùng tôi, và hứa với tôi rằng ngay sau khi tan học, cô ấy sẽ đợi tôi, sẵn sàng đưa tôi trở lại nơi tôi cảm thấy thoải mái nhất , gia đình tôi. May mắn thay, bây giờ tôi đã trưởng thành hơn một chút; Tôi có thể đi học một mình, và trong một vài năm, khi tôi đi học đại học, tôi sẽ thực sự phải đi học một mình. Sẽ không có ai mà tôi biết ở đại học. Tất nhiên tôi biết tôi sẽ kết bạn, nhưng không ai trong số họ có ý nghĩa nhiều với tôi như gia đình tôi… ..
