(a) The world always moves and develops all the time. Transportation vehicles also have 
been changed by time. So far, there have been many transportations vehicles such as: 
automobile, bicycles, and airplanes… When these transportations vehicles were invented, 
they all make people’s lives change. In these essay, I would like to talk about the way 
airplanes change people’s lives because among three transportations vehicles: automobiles, 
bicycles, airplanes, I think airplanes have changed people’s lives the most powerfully. 
Firstly, airplanes change the way people move. Before airplanes were invented, people 
could go on land, on water and dreamed to fly like birds on the sky. The dream came true 
when the first airplane was produced. Since then, people have been able to fly on the sky, 
see everything from height. That’s wonderful feelings. Therefore, airplanes are great 
invention. They have given people new feelings. On the basic of airplanes, people can 
continue their dream more and more such as: coming to another plane…. Producing 
airplanes is the first step to approach to long step after that. 
Secondly, advantages of airplane make people more comfortable in the life. The speed of 
airplane is very fast, so people can save time, which is one of the most precious things of 
each person. It takes a little time to go from one place to another than other transportation 
vehicles like automobiles, bicycles, and train… In Vietnam, it takes forty-eight hours to 
come from Hanoi to Ho Chi Mink city by automobile; meanwhile it takes two hours by 
airplane. Moreover, services of airplane firm are very good. Thus, it is convenient for 
passenger to choose airplane to go anywhere. Perhaps, airplanes aren’t the safest 
transportation means, but with long distance, it is better to choose airplane.
Finally, with airplanes, the relationship between people is more and more closer. It is 
easier to meet cousins in family, friends because going by airplane is very convenient. The 
special days like New Year, Noel… are gladder because every member in family can 
attend. The world seems to be smaller. Airplanes connect every part in the world. The 
distance wasn’t a big problem when airplanes were born.
In conclusion, airplanes really change people’s lives. It is evident fact that all the affect of 
airplanes on people’s lives are good. Airplanes make life better. 
(b) There is no doubt that Automobile is one of the greatest inventions of the Twentieth 
Century. Of course there were different means of transportation before the automobile was 
first designed, but we can say that after automobile, transportation became a public matter. 
The impact of the automobile on people’s live could be analyzed in three different ways: 
as a technical transformation, as an economical revolution and as a social change. 
In a technical perspective, the automobile introduced a new skill to human beings. 
Although driving a car is not a big deal, it was one of the first attempts to make people 
work with machines in a very close way. People who want to drive a car, have to learn a
