      • Example: 

1. It’s often said that everyone breaks the law at some point in their life. Do you agree or disagree? Why?

Hmm, to be honest, I agree to some extent that almost everyone has broken the law at some point in their life.
The first reason is that people sometimes inadvertently violate (vô tình vi phạm — unintentionally break a law or rule) minor laws because they prioritise convenience over strict compliance.
For instance, someone might engage in jaywalking (băng qua đường không đúng nơi quy định — crossing a road illegally or unsafely) simply because there is no traffic around.
They may not even perceive such behaviour as a serious offence, particularly when it is socially accepted and rarely punished.
Another reason is that modern life involves numerous low-level offences (những hành vi phạm pháp nhẹ — relatively minor breaches of the law) that people can easily overlook.
For example, downloading copyrighted material without permission or parking illegally for a few minutes may seem harmless, even though technically they are against the law.
This does not necessarily mean that people are inherently law-breaking (có xu hướng vi phạm pháp luật — inclined to break the law), but rather that certain rules are difficult to follow perfectly in everyday situations.
So, although most people are generally law-abiding (tuân thủ pháp luật — habitually obeying the law), I would say it is quite realistic to assume that nearly everyone has committed some minor offence at least once.

2. What would happen if every country in the world had the same set of laws? Do you think that’s a good idea? Why or why not?

Well, honestly, I don't think imposing a uniform legal framework (một hệ thống pháp luật thống nhất — a common system of laws applied consistently) across every country would be particularly effective.
The first problem is that nations have profoundly different cultural values, historical backgrounds and social expectations, which means the same legislation may not be equally appropriate everywhere.
For example, certain forms of behaviour may be considered perfectly acceptable in one society but deeply offensive or even socially taboo (bị xã hội coi là điều cấm kỵ — considered unacceptable or forbidden by society) in another.
Trying to impose identical rules could therefore generate cultural friction (sự xung đột văn hóa — tension caused by differences between cultures) rather than create genuine equality.
Another issue is that countries face different economic conditions and social challenges, so they need context-sensitive legislation (pháp luật phù hợp với bối cảnh — laws designed around particular circumstances).
For instance, a developing country may need regulations that prioritise basic infrastructure and economic growth, whereas a wealthy nation might focus more heavily on environmental protection or digital rights.
A one-size-fits-all approach (cách tiếp cận áp dụng một công thức cho mọi trường hợp — a solution that treats every situation in the same way) would overlook these important differences and could produce unintended consequences.
Overall, I think countries should share certain fundamental principles, but their legal systems should retain enough flexibility to reflect local circumstances and cultural norms.

New vocabulary

• uniform legal framework — khung pháp luật thống nhất — a common structure of laws applied across different places
  • Synonyms: standardised legal system, common legal framework, unified legislation
  • Antonyms: diverse legal systems, fragmented legislation, independent jurisdictions
  • Example: “I don't think imposing a uniform legal framework... would be particularly effective.”
• socially taboo — bị xã hội coi là điều cấm kỵ — regarded as unacceptable or forbidden by a society
  • Synonyms: socially unacceptable, frowned upon, culturally forbidden
  • Antonyms: socially acceptable, conventional, widely tolerated
  • Example: “...but deeply socially taboo in another.”
• cultural friction — sự xung đột/căng thẳng văn hóa — tension arising from cultural differences
  • Synonyms: cultural tension, intercultural conflict, social friction
  • Antonyms: cultural harmony, social cohesion, intercultural understanding
  • Example: “...generate cultural friction rather than create genuine equality.”
• context-sensitive legislation — pháp luật phù hợp với bối cảnh — laws adapted to specific social, economic or cultural circumstances
  • Synonyms: locally adapted laws, tailored legislation, situation-specific regulations
  • Antonyms: standardised legislation, rigid laws, universal regulations
  • Example: “They need context-sensitive legislation.”
• one-size-fits-all approach — cách tiếp cận áp dụng chung cho mọi trường hợp — a method that assumes one solution is suitable for everyone
  • Synonyms: universal approach, blanket solution, standardised approach
  • Antonyms: tailored approach, flexible strategy, individualised solution
  • Example: “A one-size-fits-all approach would overlook these important differences.”

3. Why do countries have different laws even though some problems are universal?

Well, I think countries have different laws because their legal systems are shaped by distinct historical, political and cultural circumstances.
The first major factor is historical legacy (di sản lịch sử — the influence of past events and traditions on the present), as nations tend to preserve legal principles that have developed over generations.
For example, countries with different colonial histories or political systems may have completely different ways of defining individual rights and criminal responsibility.
These traditions can become deeply embedded in the legal infrastructure (hệ thống/nền tảng pháp lý — the institutions and structures supporting a country's legal system) and are not easily changed.
Another important factor is that governments have different approaches to crime (cách tiếp cận đối với tội phạm — ways of dealing with and preventing criminal behaviour).
For instance, one country may impose harsh penalties for drug possession, whereas another may emphasise rehabilitation and treat drug use primarily as a public-health issue.
Even universal problems such as corruption (tham nhũng — the abuse of power for personal or financial gain) can therefore be addressed through very different enforcement mechanisms depending on national priorities.
So, although countries may face the same problems, their legal solutions naturally diverge because laws are ultimately a reflection of each society's values, institutions and governing philosophy (triết lý quản trị — the fundamental principles guiding how a government operates).

New vocabulary

• historical legacy — di sản lịch sử — the lasting influence of historical events, traditions or institutions
  • Synonyms: historical heritage, inherited tradition, historical influence
  • Antonyms: historical discontinuity, radical change, cultural rupture
  • Example: “The first major factor is historical legacy...”
• legal infrastructure — nền tảng/hệ thống pháp lý — the institutions, structures and systems that support the operation of law
  • Synonyms: legal framework, judicial structure, legal system
  • Antonyms: legal vacuum, institutional weakness, lawlessness
  • Example: “These traditions can become deeply embedded in the legal infrastructure...”
• approach to crime — cách tiếp cận đối với tội phạm — a particular way of preventing, punishing or rehabilitating criminals
  • Synonyms: crime policy, criminal justice strategy, law-enforcement approach
  • Antonyms: criminal neglect, ineffective enforcement, legal inaction
  • Example: “Governments have different approaches to crime.”
• corruption — tham nhũng — the abuse of public or institutional power for private gain
  • Synonyms: bribery, dishonesty, malpractice
  • Antonyms: integrity, honesty, transparency
  • Example: “Universal problems such as corruption can... be addressed...”
• governing philosophy — triết lý quản trị — the fundamental principles that guide how a government makes decisions
  • Synonyms: political ideology, governing principles, administrative philosophy
  • Antonyms: political inconsistency, ideological confusion, arbitrary governance
  • Example: “Laws are ultimately a reflection of each society's values... and governing philosophy.”

4. Do you think laws should change over time? Can you think of any laws that should be updated?

Yes, absolutely, because laws need to evolve alongside society rather than remain frozen in the past.
The first reason is that technological advancement (sự tiến bộ công nghệ — the rapid development and improvement of technology) has created entirely new forms of behaviour and crime that older legislation could never have anticipated.
For example, governments now need robust regulations covering data privacy (quyền riêng tư dữ liệu — the protection of people's personal information), artificial intelligence and cybercrime.
Without regular legal updates (những cập nhật pháp luật — revisions made to keep laws relevant and effective), criminals can exploit loopholes that were never considered when the original legislation was drafted.
Another reason is that social attitudes and expectations change as people become more aware of issues such as equality, individual rights and environmental sustainability.
For instance, outdated workplace regulations may fail to protect employees from digital-age risks (những rủi ro của thời đại số — risks created by modern digital technologies and working practices) such as online harassment or excessive digital surveillance.
In my view, governments should therefore conduct periodic legislative reviews (các đợt rà soát pháp luật định kỳ — regular examinations of existing laws) to ensure that regulations remain fair, practical and enforceable.
Ultimately, updating laws is not about constantly changing the rules, but about ensuring that the legal system remains fit for purpose (hệ thống pháp luật vẫn phù hợp với mục đích — remains suitable and effective for its intended function) in a rapidly changing world.

New vocabulary

• technological advancement — sự tiến bộ công nghệ — the development and improvement of technology
  • Synonyms: technological progress, innovation, technological development
  • Antonyms: technological stagnation, regression, obsolescence
  • Example: “The first reason is that technological advancement has created entirely new forms of behaviour...”
• data privacy — quyền riêng tư dữ liệu — the protection and proper handling of personal information
  • Synonyms: information privacy, data protection, digital privacy
  • Antonyms: data exposure, privacy violation, information leakage
  • Example: “Governments now need robust regulations covering data privacy...”
• legal updates — những cập nhật pháp luật — revisions or changes made to existing laws
  • Synonyms: legislative revisions, legal amendments, regulatory changes
  • Antonyms: legal stagnation, unchanged legislation, regulatory inertia
  • Example: “Without regular legal updates, criminals can exploit loopholes...”
• digital-age risks — những rủi ro của thời đại số — risks associated with modern digital technology
  • Synonyms: cyber risks, digital threats, technology-related risks
  • Antonyms: digital security, cyber protection, technological safety
  • Example: “...fail to protect employees from digital-age risks...”
• periodic legislative reviews — các đợt rà soát pháp luật định kỳ — regular examinations of existing laws
  • Synonyms: regular legal reviews, legislative assessments, statutory evaluations
  • Antonyms: legal neglect, regulatory inaction, legislative stagnation
  • Example: “Governments should therefore conduct periodic legislative reviews...”
