“Make me stronger” vs “Empower me” và câu chuyện khác biệt văn hoá Tây-Ta
Trong ngôn ngữ giao tiếp của người Việt, chúng ta thường sử dụng thêm cụm từ “làm cho” hoặc “khiến” để diễn đạt mối quan hệ “Nguyên nhân - Hệ quả” đến người khác.
Ví dụ:
Thất bại khiến tôi mạnh mẽ hơn.
Thái độ hằn học của nhân viên phục vụ làm cho thực khách thất vọng.
Chính bởi thói quen này, nên khi suy nghĩ để diễn đạt Cause - Effect bằng tiếng Anh, dù bản thân nhận ra nhiều từ vựng (chứ chưa hẳn gọi là biết), chúng ta thường mắc kẹt trong chiếc hộp công thức A make B [làm gì / ra sao].
Một người Việt sử dụng tiếng Anh lưu loát vẫn có thể giữ nguyên tư duy ngôn ngữ này và diễn đạt ý tưởng thành ngôn ngữ như sau:
Failures make me stronger.
The waiter’s rudeness made the diners disappointed.
Người bản xứ Anh ngữ có thêm một lựa chọn khác (và cách sử dụng ngôn ngữ như trên vẫn đúng về ngữ pháp và cách dùng) là sử dụng “Ngoại động từ tích hợp hệ quả”
Failures empower me.
The waiter’s rudesness disappointed the diners.
Nhờ vào cách suy nghĩ này, người bản xứ không vướng phải “chiếc hộp tư duy” và thường có kho tàng động từ phong phú hơn, từ đó có cách cách diễn đạt Cause - Effect đa dạng hơn và hiếm khi nào đau đầu tìm “từ đồng nghĩa” hay “từ thay thế”.

The pie charts illustrate the percentages for different types of fish product which were sold around the world in two selected years.
Generally, global fish sales which was reported to be 21 million tonnes in 1950 increased significantly by a factor of 3.5 to 76 million tonnes after 30 years. In addition, the world’s fish market which used to be dominated by fresh fish and cured fish saw a more equal distribution of sales later during in the same period.
In 1950, half of the sales in the world was made in the form of fresh fish. This type of product far exceeded the second largest candidate, cured fish (33%), by as much as 17%. The rest of the market share was allocated to 3 minor types of product whose total proportion was well below 20%.
After 3.5 decades, there was a major change to the composition of global fish sales in which the difference in percentages was narrowed between different fish products (the gap between the largest and smallest fish products was 49% in 1950 but down to 20% in 1985). Fish for animal meal surged three folds in percentage to become the most popular product while the factor of increase was almost 4 for fozen form. Fresh fish plunged in proportion, accounting for only one-fifth of global sales, but still secured the third place in rank.

Sample Answer for Writing Task 1
The bar chart illustrates how toys for children changed in sales in two selected years in several domestic markets.
In general, this type of product increased in sales value in most of the countries where it was sold, especially UK and India where growth was the strongest of about 2 billion US dollars. From the aspect of size, UK and USA were the two largest markets among the six, exceeding the others by many folds.
UK was undoubtedly the leading market for children’s toys, with sales record hitting $6 billion in 2012 before climbing up by 33% to $8 4 years later. Another major stronghold of toys for kids was the USA whose figures increased very slightly yet enough to secure the second place in value despite the fact that its sales were just half as valuable as UK’s. Customers in other countries were reported to spend less than some $1 billion on toys for children in 2012. The only fact that is worth noticing about this group of markets is the surge in expenditure on toys to $2 billion reported in 2016 in India who originally and technically generated almost no revenue out of the children’s toys industry 4 years ago.
