services. However, for those looking for a quiet, peaceful environment, it might

photosynthesis and how sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide work together. It helped me
understand the entire process much better.

environment around me. I started noticing plants more and thinking about the science
behind their growth.

Part 3: Discussion

1. Do you think AI will replace teachers in the future? Why or why not?

students’ social skills and engagement. Additionally, some students might find it

social interaction. There’s also the challenge of work-life balance, as it’s easy for
boundaries between work and personal time to blur.
6. Should employees of international companies only meet online? Why or why not?

climate change and create a more sustainable future for everyone.

Part 3 (Discussion)

• How can children be taught about the law?

lessons on basic laws, civic responsibilities, and the importance of rules in society.
Programs that involve role-playing or storytelling could also make learning about laws

A good member of society should contribute positively by following the laws, respecting

While laws are essential, they are not the only way to make people behave. Social norms,

individuals make good choices even when not directly regulated by law.
• In your opinion, is school the only place where children can learn rules of behavior?
No, school is not the only place where children can learn rules of behavior. Children

I saw this advertisement last week while watching TV at home. It was a commercial for a
beauty product aimed at women.

The focus was on unrealistic beauty standards, using very heavily edited images of
women with flawless skin. It also implied that only youthful appearances were desirable.
• Why you didn’t like it

people, especially women, feel like they had to meet an unattainable ideal to be
considered beautiful or worthy. This type of advertising can negatively affect self-esteem
and body image.
• And explain what can be done to stop such advertisements in the future.
To stop such advertisements, regulations should be implemented to ensure that ads

In my country, people seem to prefer advertisements that are humorous, creative, and
 emotionally engaging. Ads that tell a story or connect with personal values, such as
family or community, tend to resonate more with the audience.
• What do you think about advertisements targeting children?

impressionable and may not fully understand the purpose of advertisements or the
consequences of purchasing products. It's important to ensure that ads for children
promote healthy behaviors and values.
• What kinds of advertisements are designed to attract children?
Advertisements targeting children often feature bright colors, animated characters, catchy
jingles, and toys or food items. They are designed to be visually appealing and fun to
capture children's attention.

Advertisements shown to children should prioritize education and safety. They should not
promote unhealthy foods or products that may be inappropriate for their age.
Furthermore, they should avoid exploiting children's lack of understanding of marketing
tactics.
• What are the differences between advertisements targeted at women and men?
Advertisements targeted at women often emphasize beauty, fashion, and household
products, while ads for men typically focus on strength, technology, and power. These
stereotypes can reinforce traditional gender roles, though some brands are working to
break these norms with more diverse representations.
• What should be done to control advertisements?
To control advertisements, governments and regulatory bodies should establish clear
guidelines for ethical advertising. Advertisements should be truthful, transparent, and
socially responsible. Additionally, there should be stronger enforcement of regulations,
especially for ads targeting vulnerable groups like children.

The fashion industry has a significant influence on people’s clothing choices, especially through
trends and celebrity endorsements. It shapes what’s considered stylish, fashionable, or
acceptable to wear, influencing individuals to align with popular trends. The media, social
platforms, and influencers play a big role in spreading these trends.

2. What are the main differences between formal and casual clothing?
Formal clothing is usually more structured, with tailored fits, specific colors, and materials that
convey professionalism and authority. It’s typically worn for business, ceremonies, or formal
events. Casual clothing, on the other hand, is more relaxed and comfortable, with a focus on

discarded quickly after being worn a few times.

5. What steps can the fashion industry take to reduce its environmental impact?
The fashion industry can take several steps, such as using sustainable materials, reducing waste
through recycling and upcycling, and adopting ethical manufacturing practices. Brands can also
embrace slow fashion, focusing on quality and durability over mass production. Additionally,
promoting eco-friendly consumer behaviors, like clothing swaps or repairs, can help reduce the
environmental footprint.

6. Do you think people will care more about sustainable fashion in the future? Why or why
not?
Yes, I believe people will care more about sustainable fashion in the future. As awareness about
environmental issues grows, consumers are becoming more conscious of their purchasing
decisions. Brands that focus on sustainability will likely attract a growing customer base, as
more people recognize the importance of reducing waste and supporting ethical production
practices.

their homes. However, it has also led to challenges such as increased screen time and the decline
of traditional brick-and-mortar stores.

5. In your opinion, are more collaborations happening online or offline? How so?
In my opinion, more collaborations are happening online these days. With the rise of digital
tools and platforms, people can easily collaborate regardless of their location. Video
