Some people say that it is possible to tell a lot about a person’s culture and character from their choices of clothes. Do you agree or disagree?

Some individuals believe that, we can learn about someone's characteristics and culture through their choices of clothing. I partially agree with this viewpoint, because someone's clothing might be a reflection of his culture, customs as well as character but this point is not appropriate always. Rather their behaviours and way of life also indicate their culture.

Some people believe that children should be taught by their parents about how to function as useful members of society, while others believe that sending children to educational institutions is the best way for them to study this. Although the latter opinion can be beneficial in some cases, I believe that family upbringing plays a more important role in educating children to be good parts of the community.

Schools can be considered suitable places for children to learn to be good citizens. With standardized educational methods, schools can foster children’s cognitive development so that they are able to contribute to society in the future. For example, Trung Vuong school and Vinschool are well known for having nurtured successful alumni such as Professor Ngo Bao, Professor Nguyen Hung who have devoted their talents to the development of the country. However, these people only represent a small fraction of the total number of students attending schools, and thus sending children to schools cannot be the best method of educating them to be good members of society.
