brings a lot of benefits to people First, it is fast When we use science and technology, it helps us save time For example, it takes us only two hours to fly from Ha Noi to Ho Chi Minh City Second, it makes life easier For example, we can use computer to replace typewriting, or we can use a car, an airplane or a boat to replace walking Third, it saves our physical power, such as we can use the machine to represent our energy To conclude, science and technology has a lot of advantages in the way that it gives people convenience and comfort (114 words) Disagree I disagree with the idea that science and technology only brings benefits to people Firstly, it makes people lazy Sometimes, science and technology is convenient and comfortable So, people who use it will be lazy to work Secondly, it is expensive For example, a car costs hundreds of million dong Therefore, not many people can afford to buy it Thirdly, it is difficult to use some technology devices For example, we have to study first on how to use a computer In short, science and technology sometimes brings drawbacks to people (92 words) FUN CORNER G I E B J C H D F 10 A Unit 12: LIFE ON OTHER PLANETS I B II D B A C 184 BÀI
