Today, I would like to tell you about a science lesson that really left a lasting impression (made a strong impact – tạo ấn tượng sâu sắc) on me, and that’s a class on behavioral finance (a branch of economics that explores how psychology affects financial decision-making – tài chính hành vi). It wasn’t a typical classroom session; instead, I learned about it through a Vietnamese YouTuber who specializes in financial literacy (understanding of how money works – kiến thức tài chính), especially how people fall victim to FOMO – or the fear of missing out – in the stock market.

I came across this content while browsing for tips on investing, and the channel’s bite-sized explanations (short and easy-to-understand explanations – giải thích ngắn gọn dễ hiểu) immediately grabbed my attention. The way the YouTuber broke down complex theories into simple, relatable examples was mind-opening (enlightening or revealing – khai sáng, mở mang đầu óc).>> Form đăng kí giải đề thi thật IELTS 4 kĩ năng kèm bài giải bộ đề 100 đề PART 2 IELTS SPEAKING quý đang thi (update hàng tuần) từ IELTS TUTOR

What fascinated me most was how emotions, not logic, often drive investment decisions. For example, many people blindly follow others into buying certain stocks just because they don’t want to be left behind. This irrational behavior, known as herd mentality (the tendency for people to mimic the actions of a larger group – tâm lý bầy đàn), is something I had never connected with science before.

I find this subject incredibly relevant because I major in Business Administration, and understanding the psychological underpinnings (underlying mental or emotional factors – nền tảng tâm lý) of financial behavior can empower me to make more rational decisions in the future. This knowledge doesn't just apply to investing—it also helps in everyday choices where risk and emotion collide.

Overall, this lesson made me realize that science is not only about lab experiments and formulas; it can also shed light on human behavior in high-stakes environments (situations involving risk or pressure – môi trường có rủi ro cao), like the stock market. That’s why this science lesson stood out to me and continues to influence how I approach money, risk, and decision-making.

IV. Part 3

🔹 1. Do people need more scientific information or research?

Absolutely, people do need more scientific research and knowledge because it plays a pivotal (extremely important – rất quan trọng) role in solving pressing (urgent or serious – cấp bách, nghiêm trọng) global challenges.
For example, cutting-edge (very modern and advanced – hiện đại, tiên tiến) medical research has led to life-saving vaccines and treatments, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Another key reason is that science helps debunk widespread misconceptions (common but wrong beliefs – hiểu lầm phổ biến) that often spread through misleading (giving the wrong idea – gây hiểu nhầm) media or hearsay.
For instance, climate change denial has been rampant (widespread and difficult to control – tràn lan) despite overwhelming evidence from peer-reviewed (examined by experts – được chuyên gia thẩm định) scientific journals.
Without access to verified information, people may fall victim to pseudoscientific claims (false ideas pretending to be science – ngụy khoa học) that endanger public health and safety.
Additionally, scientific literacy helps individuals make informed decisions in their daily lives, from choosing food products to understanding medical diagnoses.
When people are better informed, they become more engaged citizens, capable of participating in public debates on vital issues.
Overall, promoting access to scientific research can empower society to make evidence-based (supported by facts – dựa trên bằng chứng) choices that shape a better future.

🔹 2. Why do students find science lessons hard?

Many students find science lessons difficult because they are often filled with abstract (not concrete or easy to visualize – trừu tượng) concepts and complex terminologies (complicated technical words – thuật ngữ phức tạp).
For instance, topics like quantum physics or chemical bonding are hard to grasp without solid foundations in math or prior knowledge.
Moreover, the formula-driven nature (based heavily on equations – mang tính công thức) of science subjects makes them intimidating, especially for students who are more inclined towards humanities.
Another contributing factor is the lack of real-life application in many school science programs.
When theories are not linked to daily experiences, they seem irrelevant (not connected to life – không liên quan) and unengaging.
In contrast, hands-on experiments and interactive simulations (digital tools that model real scenarios – mô phỏng tương tác) can make science more tangible and easier to understand.
Unfortunately, many schools lack the necessary laboratory equipment (tools used for scientific experiments – thiết bị thí nghiệm) or teacher training to provide these experiences.
In short, unless science is taught in a relatable and practical way, it will remain a daunting subject (very difficult and scary to many – môn học khó và gây sợ hãi) for a large number of students.
