📖 SPEAKING SAMPLE: ẢNH HƯỞNG CỦA THẤT NGHIỆP
📉 Mất việc làm – hiệu ứng dây chuyền: “When someone loses their job, it has huge knock-on effects on all areas of their life. Firstly, it puts pressure on their whole family, especially when it comes to paying the mortgage or bills. What savings you have quickly dry up. This adds pressure to find a new job as soon as possible. Unfortunately, this day and age it's really difficult. You can send a hundred CVs and never get a reply. Out of every twenty applications, you might only get one interview. You may well have to start thinking about other types of work just to get some money in.”
✨ Từ khóa: knock-on effects, dry up, up against competition, may well, get some money in.
👨🦳 Câu chuyện hàng xóm thất nghiệp: “My neighbour lost his job early last year. In the end, he managed to find some work online but it didn't pay very well. Finally, his wife left him and they had to sell their house. She also got custody of the kids. I feel so sorry for him. Now half of his wages go to paying child support. All in all, long-term unemployment can lead to severe depression, breakdown, debt, drug use, crime and even suicide.”
✨ Từ khóa: lost his job, custody, child support, depression, breakdown, suicide.
💰 Khoảng cách giàu nghèo: “At the root of the problem lies the government's efforts to privatize everything. The whole country is now owned by the elite and things continue to get worse. Whereas the elite can afford to send their kids to good schools, public funding into state-run education is still lacking. Teachers have been leaving in droves. There are many cuts in the welfare system, especially to people on sickness benefit and the elderly. That would be the death knell of all that is British if you ask me.”
✨ Từ khóa: at the root of, elite, in droves, sickness benefit, death knell.
⚡ DEBATE: CÓ NÊN GIÚP NGƯỜI ĂN XIN?
🤝 Person A (ủng hộ giúp đỡ): “Always try to help out someone who is begging. They are human beings who have fallen on hard times. A little kindness – buying them a meal or giving some change – can make a huge difference. We should treat them with dignity and compassion.”
💭 Person B (bắt buộc phản đối): “I completely disagree. Giving money to beggars often fuels addiction rather than solving the real problem. Many are part of organized begging gangs. The best help is donating to reputable charities that provide shelters, job training and addiction services. Handouts on the street just keep people stuck in that lifestyle.”
⚡ DEBATE: TĂNG TRỢ CẤP CHO NGƯỜI THẤT NGHIỆP?
📋 Person A (ủng hộ tăng phúc lợi): “We should do more to help the unemployed, such as increasing welfare. Losing your job is rarely anyone's fault – it's often due to economic downturns or company closures. A stronger safety net prevents people from falling into homelessness, debt and depression. It's a basic human right to have food and shelter.”
💼 Person B (bắt buộc phản đối): “I strongly disagree. Increasing welfare creates dependency and removes the incentive to find work. People may well choose to stay on benefits rather than accept low-paid jobs. The money has to come from taxpayers who work hard. Instead, we should invest in job training programs and make work pay – not just hand out more cash with no conditions.”
🎭 ROLE-PLAY: BẮT QUẢ ĂN CẮP Ở SIÊU THỊ
👮 Person A (Cảnh sát – bắt quả tang lần thứ hai): “You again! This is the second time I've caught you shoplifting. Stealing food is still stealing. I'm taking you to the station. You need to learn that crime doesn't pay. I have no sympathy for shoplifters.”
🍞 Person B (Người ăn cắp – viện cớ, kể hoàn cảnh): “Please, officer, I'm begging you. I lost my job six months ago. My savings dried up. I've been sleeping rough for three weeks. I haven't eaten in two days. I'm not a criminal – I'm just desperate. I applied for fifty jobs last month. Nobody will hire someone without an address. Please, just this once. I promise I'll find help.”
🎭 Thảo luận: Cảnh sát có nên tha hay vẫn bắt? Tại sao?
