Write an essay that meets the requirements. Students can present in many different ways as long as they are reasonable and convincing; points should be deducted for errors in form and expression. Refer to the implementation and some specific content below:
- John Ruskin once said: "The highest reward for a man's labor is not what he gets, but what he becomes through it." - Indeed, maturity is not only a milestone in age but also a turning point in perception - when people begin to look deeper into the world , know how to distinguish right from wrong and appreciate the good things even though they are hidden. In that journey, "knowing how to read" - broadly understood as the ability to recognize hidden good values - is a clear sign of maturity. 2. Body. * Explain: + Maturity: Maturity is not the physical growth or the use of force to show off power, forcing others to fear or obey you, but maturity must come from the development in each person's thoughts and emotions, and most of them originate from our own life experiences. The saying affirms the role and significance of knowing how to read - knowing how to recognize good values that are being hidden - as a symbol of maturity. * Point 1: Understanding the problem + Reading helps us not only improve our knowledge but also improve our ability to think, learn and develop important skills. But knowing how to read is not only knowing the words but also the ability to recognize the hidden values in people, events, and life from the pages of books. Good values are hidden: it can be truth, kindness, justice, love, ... often covered by negative appearances, misunderstandings, and circumstances. + Indeed, life is not simple, what you see is not necessarily the truth. To understand the nature of things or people, sometimes we have to be alert and know how to read - read from experiences, read to see that the good and the beautiful are always present even in the worst things. + Mature people are those who know how to look at problems deeply, not hastily judging. In life, there are people who dress sloppily, speak little but are very kind and vice versa, there are people who dress carefully, speak only flowery words but are selfish and pragmatic in their souls... Read to see that behind the anger, those scolding words is a heart of love, read to understand that sometimes lies are better, make us warmer. - Proof: + Today's society always makes us skeptical between the two sides of good and bad, good and evil. An event that causes a storm on the internet, a singer or actor being "exposed", a charitable act... can easily orient our thinking. We judge and criticize a person through a few lines of news spread on the internet, by the time we realize the truth is not necessarily so, it is too late. Therefore, more than ever, we must know how to "read" to find the truth from information, determine values... Writer Victor Hugo once said: " When we open our hearts to the pain of others , that is when we mature " , maturity is expressed in compassion and empathy. * Argument 2: Expand, improve, and debate the topic: + If we don't know how to "read" like that, people can easily live superficially, make wrong judgments, and lose the opportunity to understand and connect with others. + A society lacking people who can see the good will easily fall into skepticism and apathy. * Solution: - Yourself: need to practice deep thinking, listening and observing carefully. Don't be hasty in judging by appearance. Learn to see the good in others, in difficult circumstances. - Family and school: need to encourage and help children form the habit of reading and deep perception, critical thinking. Schools integrate into the curriculum and organize experiential activities for students. 3. Conclusion: Affirm the personal viewpoint presented and draw a message for yourself: When people learn to "read" the world deeply - to go beyond the surface to see the truth, the good, the beauty - that is when they truly mature. Because, as Victor Hugo once said: "When we open our hearts to the pain of others, that is when we mature." Let each person learn to read with their heart, with experience and listening, to understand not only others but also themselves - that is the solid path to true maturity. | |||||
A reference article for question 2 part 2
We are born into this world like a blank sheet of paper. Many years of schooling, receiving knowledge from teachers, being taught by parents, being influenced by the things around us and friends. Books, information in newspapers, news on social networks also contribute to forming a person's personality, thoughts, knowledge and outlook on life. In the overwhelming information on social networks, there is mixed information that is false and fabricated with bad intentions. If we lack the ability to think and are not mature, we cannot distinguish right from wrong and are easily drawn in by distortions with bad intentions. The excerpt by author Ha Nhan gave me a much more profound answer: maturity is not just "literacy", but must be "reading" and distinguishing right from wrong in what is read.
The "reading" that the author is talking about is the ability to use intelligence and heart to see through the nature of things, beyond the flashy or rough outer shell. When we are not mature, we easily believe in lies. When we are mature, we know how to "read" the truth hidden behind the shell of lies. That is when we feel that our parents' scolding is both love and concern for us. That is when, in the midst of a "bustling, chaotic" life, amidst a myriad of conflicting information on social networks, we can still "read" what is right and what is true. Maturity in thinking and depth of soul are necessary conditions for us to be able to read and accurately understand the right and wrong, the metaphorical, ideological and philosophical nature of information. When we are not mature, we can easily misread life, and as Thagore wrote: "You misread life and then say that life deceives you".
In today's "information-filled society", the skill of "reading" is extremely important. Every day, we are surrounded by countless news, images, and videos on Facebook and TikTok. Just one shocking status line or a edited clip is enough to stir up public outrage. How many times have we rushed to "throw stones" at an individual based on just a few unverified news lines, only to realize when the truth is revealed that we have contributed to hurting a person. At that point, it is too late to apologize. That is a manifestation of naivety, haste, lack of intelligence, and not knowing how to "read". Real adults will not act like that. They consider and learn from many sides before making judgments. They "read" the dangers of "information mazes" and do not let themselves become a tool for spreading misinformation. A person with enough intelligence and experience will know what is right and what is wrong, what is true and what is a lie in the information he receives.
The journey to "know how to read" is not easy. It requires us to practice every day, to learn to think critically, to learn to listen with both our mind and heart. It requires courage to go against the crowd, to maintain our own moral principles. Reading correctly, in the right direction, guided by great masters will help us have a beautiful way of life, a noble soul, a clear mind. By reading books, we can understand how Americans, Germans, Russians, Chinese, Vietnamese, ... lived, studied, fought, were happy and suffered.
Reading, illuminated by the lens of intelligence, of a compassionate heart, of profound knowledge, is an art, an achievement that is very difficult for each person to achieve. As students, we must constantly study and practice reading intelligently.
