1. What goals should a society have?
To my knowledge, I think the key factor to ensure the development of a society is economic growth, which will eventually help us achieve almost all other objectives. Without any doubt, only when members of a society satisfy all their basic necessities with the help of money can they start living their lives to the fullest and give it their best shot to really contribute to the betterment of society as a whole. In other words, crime rates, unemployment, environmental problems or even inequality can be tackled when individuals no longer struggle with their financial burdens.
- To my knowledge: theo như tôi biết
- basic necessities: nhu cầu cơ bản
- give it their best shot: cố hết sức
2. Do people need to have goals?
I mean I am fully aware that the answer to this question should be yes, as the purposes of living can give us a more meaningful and enjoyable life when we have some particular ends to pursue and strive for. On top of that, they help save time, energy and effort when we have priorities. However, somewhere inside my heart, there is a voice saying that in this world full of unexpected events, we should just find contentment in every moment we have, without any goals. It is such a burden to set and pursue dreams because who knows what the future holds?
- contentment: sự hạnh phúc, hài lòng, thỏa mãn
- who knows what the future holds?: không biết tương lai sẽ xảy ra chuyện gì
3. What goals do people at your age have?
It’s nearly impossible to tell as we all have different perspectives, preferences and circumstances. For instance, youngsters from some economically disadvantaged families might only find fulfillment through achieving high income, so money seems to be their only desire. In contrast, many people around my age, around 30 years old, just simply want to be fit as we may have already experienced some negative consequences, like backache, headache, insomnia or prolonged stress, of not taking up healthy habits.
- economically disadvantaged: bất lợi về kinh tế (khó khăn về kinh tế, nghèo)
4. Is it necessary to give advice to children?
It is my belief that kids nowadays are just so intelligent and to a certain extent, I think they can even be superior to us – grown-ups. Moreover, with the assistance of technology, they can find any guidance on the internet. It is such a waste of time and effort to give them advice and sometimes, we can accidentally ruin everything when we are not in their shoes. Don’t get me wrong – every now and then, they might need us to provide some help, and when they ask for it, we should be willing to share our experience.
- grown-ups: người lớn
- are not in their shoes: không trong tình huống (thường khó khăn) như họ
- Don’t get me wrong: đừng hiểu lầm ý tôi (C2)
- every now and then: thỉnh thoảng
5. What goals do young people usually have?
The youth normally want to focus more on their professional and personal life. Some of their goals could be obtaining a university degree, getting promoted at work, receiving a pay raise, or widening their social circle, finding soulmates and having great romantic relationships.
- pay raise: sự tăng lương (C1)
6. What should people do to achieve their goals?
I don’t know if you can tell or not, but I look nothing like someone who can actually deliver a lecture on how to reach targets. Having said that, I believe that the first thing we have to do is to know exactly what we want to achieve to really set a foundation and create a guideline to navigate our effort. The next step is to note our goals down in our notebook. Well, according to the law of attraction, we can manifest a decent job, lots of money and a new boyfriend by constantly writing down our desires. Just kidding! Then, of course, we need to come up with strategies and specific actions, which we have to stick with until we get what we dream about.
