1. What objectives should a society aim for?

Based on my understanding, I believe the primary factor ensuring societal progress is economic growth, which ultimately facilitates the achievement of almost all other goals. Undoubtedly, only when members of a society meet all their basic needs through financial means can they truly live life to the fullest and give their best effort to contribute to overall societal improvement. Put differently, issues like crime rates, unemployment, environmental concerns, and inequality can be addressed when individuals are no longer burdened by financial struggles.

• To my knowledge: theo như tôi biết
• basic necessities: nhu cầu cơ bản
• give it their best shot: cố hết sức

2. Do individuals need goals?

In my opinion, the answer should indeed be affirmative, as goals in life can provide us with a more meaningful and fulfilling existence by giving us specific aims to pursue and strive for. Moreover, they help save time, energy, and effort by setting priorities. However, deep down, there's a part of me that suggests in a world full of uncertainties, perhaps we should find satisfaction in every moment without setting specific goals. Pursuing dreams can be burdensome because who knows what the future holds?

• contentment: sự hạnh phúc, hài lòng, thỏa mãn
• who knows what the future holds?: không biết tương lai sẽ xảy ra chuyện gì

3. What are the aspirations of people your age?

It’s nearly impossible to determine, as we all have different viewpoints, preferences, and situations. For example, young individuals from certain economically disadvantaged backgrounds might find fulfillment solely in achieving a high income, making money their primary aspiration. Conversely, many individuals around my age, approximately 30 years old, simply aim to maintain good health, having experienced adverse effects such as back pain, headaches, insomnia, or prolonged stress from neglecting healthy habits.

• economically disadvantaged: bất lợi về kinh tế (khó khăn về kinh tế, nghèo)

4. Is it necessary to provide guidance to children?

I believe that children nowadays are exceptionally intelligent and, to some extent, may even surpass us – adults. Furthermore, with the aid of technology, they can access guidance online. It can be counterproductive to offer advice, as we may unintentionally undermine their situations. However, it's important to recognize that occasionally, they may require our assistance, and we should be willing to share our experiences when they seek guidance.

• grown-ups: người lớn
• are not in their shoes: không trong tình huống (thường khó khăn) như họ
• Don’t get me wrong: đừng hiểu lầm ý tôi (C2)
• every now and then: thỉnh thoảng

5. What ambitions do young people typically hold?

Young people generally focus on their personal and professional lives. Their goals often include acquiring a university degree, advancing in their careers, securing a salary increase, expanding their social circle, finding soulmates, and nurturing fulfilling romantic relationships.

• pay raise: sự tăng lương (C1)

6. How can individuals achieve their objectives?

I'm not sure if you can perceive this, but I'm hardly the person to deliver a lecture on achieving goals. Nevertheless, I believe the initial step is to clearly define what we want to accomplish, establishing a foundation and creating a roadmap for our efforts. Then, we should record our goals in a notebook. Now, according to the law of attraction, we can manifest a great job, ample wealth, and a new partner simply by consistently jotting down our desires. Just kidding! Ultimately, we must devise strategies and take specific actions, remaining committed until we achieve our dreams.
