BÀI VĂN MẪU (1)
Question: Is it a better idea to change companies often
or to remain at one company for a long period of time?
What do you think? Give reasons and examples to
support your opinion.
Opening
In the past, people used to stay at one company for a long
time and that was the norm. Things have been changed
since then. Today, a number of people think they have to
change their jobs to adapt to a rapidly changing work
environment. However, in my view, staying a long time at
one company is better than changing companies too
frequently.
Body
Firstly, staying at one firm helps a person to become an
expert in a certain field and build a level of loyalty. Actually,
by staying at one company longer, you get more chances
of getting benefits. That's mainly because people become
experts in their fields and the company that they work for
recognizes their values and wants to make them happy by
financially rewarding them.
Secondly, working for the same company for a long period

of time offers another important benefit: building the
relationship with people. To illustrate, a company is not
just a place to provide services in return for a salary. It's a
place to build a human network. People can build up strong
relationships with their colleagues. It usually takes time to
gain trust and form strong bonds between coworkers. That's
why people need to stay in one place for a long time.
Conclusion
To sum up, the chances of obtaining more

experience and opportunities for better benefits
can be a positive aspect of a job change.
However, becoming an expert and creating a
trustworthiness network among coworkers at
one company over a period of time can give
more benefits. Therefore, I much prefer staying
at one firm to changing companies often. (about

BÀI VĂN MẪU (2)
Question: A lot of us commute to work everyday.
However, there are some people who work remotely at
their homes or away from their offices. What do you
think is the reason why some companies permit their
employees to work this way?
Opening
For many years in the past and for most businesses, it
has been common sense that people have to commute
to their workplaces. However, where we work has been
changing. More and more employees are working
remotely, sometimes at home. The reasons are to save
companies expenses and not to have limitation on
recruiting talented job seekers.
Body
First of all, companies want to reduce their operating costs. Among the
many ways of achieving this goal, having employees work remotely can
reduce money spent on office equipment that employees generally need if
they have to work in an office.
Long ago, I used to work for a company that was located in the city far from
where I lived. There was no branch office where I could commute to, but
that company wanted me. The only option left for both of us was for me to
stay home and work remotely. With the advances in technology, especially
the Internet, I was able to work fine a long way from the company. If the
company had set up a local office for me, they would have had to spend a
large amount of money.
Second, companies can create more chances to hire qualified and

competent employees who live far away from the workplace.
Sometimes, engineers in the computer, biotechnology, pharmaceutical
fields, and so forth, are not easily found locally. What if a high-tech company
finds a candidate perfectly suited for its job, but the candidate doesn't want
to relocate? Then there is no choice but to let the person work remotely.
Conclusion
In brief, companies want to save money to

increase profits and they want to find qualified
employees without worrying about geographical
restrictions. To achieve these goals, companies
choose to allow their employees to work at
home or remotely is a growing trend nowadays.
