Đề bài: “Some people think that parents should teach their children to manage money at a young age. To what extent do you agree or disagree?”
Introduction:
Many people believe that parents should educate their children about money management from an early age. I completely agree with this view because financial skills are essential for children’s future success and independence.
Body 1:
The primary reason I support this idea is that learning about money helps children develop responsibility. When children understand the value of money, they learn to make thoughtful decisions about spending and saving. For example, if a child receives pocket money and has to budget it for the week, they learn to prioritize their needs over their wants. This practical experience builds good habits that will benefit them throughout their lives.
Body 2:
Another important reason is that early financial education prevents problems in adulthood. Many young adults struggle with debt because they were never taught how to manage their finances. Research has shown that people who learn about saving and budgeting as children are less likely to face serious financial difficulties later. Therefore, teaching money skills early can protect children from making costly mistakes in the future.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, I firmly believe that parents should teach their children about money management at a young age. This helps develop responsible habits and prevents financial problems in adulthood.

✅ Đáp án gợi ý
Bài tập 1 — Introduction mẫu
There is a debate about whether university students should have the freedom to choose any subject or only study practical fields. In my opinion, while having some freedom is important, students should focus on subjects that are useful for their future careers.
Bài tập 2 — Body Paragraph mẫu
The most important reason I agree is that outdoor play is essential for children’s physical health. When children play outside, they engage in physical activities such as running, climbing, and cycling, which help them develop strong muscles and maintain a healthy weight. For example, studies have found that children who spend at least one hour outdoors daily have a significantly lower risk of obesity compared to those who mainly use electronic devices. This shows that outdoor activities provide health benefits that screens simply cannot offer.
💡 Tips cho Opinion Essay
- Chọn 1 phía và giữ nhất quán — đừng đổi quan điểm giữa bài
- “I largely agree” an toàn hơn “I completely agree” — cho phép bạn nhượng bộ ở Body 2
- Mỗi body paragraph = 1 ý chính — đừng nhồi nhiều ý vào 1 đoạn
- Ví dụ không cần có số liệu thật — “Research suggests…” hoặc “For instance…” là đủ
- Conclusion KHÔNG thêm ý mới — chỉ tóm tắt lại
