Ví dụ 1 body paragraph hoàn chỉnh (đủ 4 câu PEEL)
Đề: “Do the advantages of working from home outweigh the disadvantages?” Body 1 (advantage — flexibility):
(P) The primary advantage of remote work lies in the unprecedented flexibility it grants employees over their daily schedules. (E) This is because workers are no longer bound by rigid office hours or lengthy commutes, allowing them to structure their day around personal responsibilities such as childcare, medical appointments, or exercise. (E) A 2023 Gallup survey, for instance, found that 71% of remote workers reported significantly higher job satisfaction, citing the freedom to manage their own time as the most valued benefit. (L) Consequently, this flexibility not only enhances individual well-being but also translates into measurable productivity gains for employers, reinforcing the case that remote work is a predominantly positive shift.

Đoạn 1 — Body 1 cho đề "Free university education, agree or disagree?"
To begin with, the most compelling reason to support free tertiary
education is its role in promoting social mobility. This is because
financial barriers currently prevent talented individuals from
low-income backgrounds from accessing higher education, thereby
perpetuating inequality across generations. In Germany, for example,
the abolition of tuition fees in 2014 led to a 22% increase in
enrolment from working-class families within just five years,
according to a report by the Federal Statistical Office. Consequently,
removing tuition fees is not merely an act of generosity but a
strategic investment in a more equitable and dynamic society.Đoạn 2 — Body 2 cho cùng đề
Furthermore, publicly funded higher education generates substantial
long-term economic benefits that outweigh the initial cost to
taxpayers. This is because graduates typically earn higher salaries
throughout their careers, contributing significantly more in income
tax and consumption than individuals without a degree. A landmark
OECD study in 2022 found that every dollar invested in university
education yields approximately three dollars in returns through
increased tax revenue and reduced welfare dependency. This clearly
demonstrates that treating higher education as a public good is
economically rational rather than idealistic.Speaking — Đọc to bộ 8 linking phrases

Đoạn xáo trộn (đề: “Working from home — outweigh advantages?”)
- Câu A: “A 2022 Stanford study revealed that 46% of remote workers experienced clinical symptoms of loneliness, compared to just 12% of their office-based counterparts.”
- Câu B: “This social isolation, if left unaddressed, could offset many of the productivity gains associated with remote arrangements.”

Đáp án
Thứ tự đúng: D → C → A → B
- D = P (Point — nêu ý chính: erosion of social connections)
- C = E (Explanation — vì sao: face-to-face interaction quan trọng)
- A = E (Example — nghiên cứu Stanford 2022 với số liệu 46% vs 12%)
- B = L (Link — chốt lại: có thể offset productivity gains → nối với thesis)
Đoạn hoàn chỉnh khi ghép đúng thứ tự:

Đoạn 1
Furthermore, another significant advantage of using public transport lies in its environmental impact. Vehicles powered by electricity or hydrogen produce virtually zero direct emissions, whereas private cars remain a leading contributor to urban air pollution. This benefit is particularly critical in the context of climate change and public health concerns.
Đáp án
Thiếu: E-example (số liệu cụ thể / tên nghiên cứu / tên nước)
Câu bổ sung gợi ý (chèn vào giữa câu 2 và câu 3):
A 2023 report by the International Energy Agency, for instance, found that shifting 30% of urban car trips to electric public transport in cities such as Oslo and Amsterdam reduced CO₂ emissions by an average of 18% within just two years.
Đoạn 2
This is because early exposure to a second language significantly enhances a child's cognitive flexibility, particularly in areas such as problem-solving and multitasking. A 2019 study published in the journal “Cognition” found that bilingual seven-year-olds outperformed monolingual peers by 24% in executive function tasks. These early gains translate into stronger academic performance throughout later schooling.

“To begin with, the primary reason to introduce foreign language instruction at primary level lies in the profound cognitive benefits it offers young learners.”

The primary cause of rising obesity among young people is the widespread availability of ultra-processed food. Fast food chains, sugary snacks, and sweetened beverages have become dominant components of modern diets, particularly in urban areas. A WHO report in 2023 revealed that global consumption of ultra-processed products among children aged 6–14 has doubled since 2010.
Đáp án
