Journaling is not a new concept. Many people often write their thoughts and feelings in a diary or
journal for many purposes, from releasing stress and improving creativity to developing self-awareness.
And now, instead of just writing in a notebook, many people are turning to AI to enhance their journaling
experience.
AI-powered journaling works by analyzing the words and phrases you write. After you respond, the
AI can offer follow-up questions, summaries of your thoughts, or gentle advice to help you see things more
clearly. Some tools like ChatGPT can also interpret the mood or tone of what you write—whether it sounds
happy, sad, or worried. This allows users to track their emotional patterns in the long term and understand
themselves better.
These digital journals also include many helpful features. For example, they can help you get started
quickly, especially when you don’t know what to write. When you open the app, it might suggest a question
like, “What made you feel proud today?” or “Is something making you feel stressed?” Some AI journaling
apps turn your spoken words into text, making journaling effortless for people who prefer talking over
typing, and you can also add photos or keep track of your sleep, stress, or exercise levels.
Despite the potential benefits, it’s important to be careful when using AI for journaling. Some apps
collect your data, so always check the privacy settings. Also, AI is not a human and cannot replace a
therapist or give real advice. While it can guide your thinking, you still need to decide what’s true for
you. Using AI as a helper, not a decision-maker, makes the journaling experience more meaningful.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
[I] Today, AI has not only become reality, but is having more and more influence on daily life, which
is especially true for Generation Z. [II] It promises an even more personalized future, one where technology
evolves alongside us. [III] In this future, being capable of engaging creatively with will be the key difference
between those who lead and those who fall behind. [IV]
Many young people are already using AI in their daily lives, but using it creatively helps them stand
out from others who only follow instructions or use tools in basic ways. For instance, a teenager interested
in environmental issues might use AI suggestions to design a virtual campaign that educates others on
climate change. When a young person can apply AI to solve a unique problem or build something new,
they display originality, leadership, and the ability to think beyond what is given. These are the kinds of
qualities appreciated by schools, employers, and even society as a whole.
There are many imaginative ways young people can apply AI for personal development, especially
when it comes to learning, creativity, and emotional growth. AI-powered journaling apps, for example,
don’t just record what you write—they respond with thoughtful questions or summaries, helping users
reflect more deeply on their thoughts and feelings. Even planning personal goals can become more
exciting with AI. Some apps allow users to have simulated conversations with a “future self” to explore
what kind of person they want to become—and what steps they should take to get there.
To use AI imaginatively, young people need to develop certain skills. First is AI literacy, which means
understanding how it works and what it can or can’t do. Second, critical thinking is essential. AI can make
suggestions, but it cannot know what is best for each individual. Young users must learn to ask
questions, compare ideas, and decide whether an AI response truly fits their needs. Finally, creative thinking
is what brings it all together. Instead of asking only practical questions, creative thinkers ask “How can I
use this tool in a new way?”
