Question 3. a. However, I explained the benefits clearly, showing how small actions such as reusing bottles and planting trees could make a visible difference. b. During a school meeting, I shared my idea of joining a green campaign that encouraged students to reduce plastic waste. c. The campaign became a collective effort, and it strengthened not only our environmental awareness but also our sense of community. d. At first, a few classmates hesitated, since they thought it would take too much time and effort. e. Their attitudes began to change, and several students even suggested other creative activities to support the cause.

Question 5. a. Nevertheless, the loss of unique languages, rituals, and customs represents a serious challenge to humanity’s collective heritage. b. Therefore, cultural homogeneity must be understood not only as a sign of global integration but also as a reminder of what might be lost in pursuit of sameness. c. In many cases, the spread of global media and consumer brands has accelerated this process, leading to fewer distinctions between local identities. d. Although such uniformity can promote social harmony and reduce misunderstandings, it also limits the richness that comes from cultural diversity. e.

to each of the following questions. While the meaning of “fast fashion” is fairly straightforward–the description is in the name, after all

• understanding why it has become so ubiquitous requires a deeper look at the clothing industry as a whole. On the most basic level, fast fashion is quickly produced trends sold at low price points. [I] But producing and consuming clothing at the current rate we are is taking a massive toll on both the planet and the people who work to make it. The impact of fast fashion on the environment is a layered issue. A March 2023 report by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) said that fashion was responsible for up to 10% of annual global carbon emissions. [II] On the production side, overusing oil-based textiles like polyester means that brands rely on fossil fuels to create new products. In order to produce lots of goods, brands want to use the cheapest materials. What is not sustainable, then, is the system of buying for short-term use and then tossing. And, when it’s of poor quality, it starts peeling off microfibers. Polyester doesn’t biodegrade and sits in landfills and water systems, shedding microfibers over time. These microfibers end up in the water systems. [III] Fast fashion is not affordable simply because the materials are cheap. Historically, workers around the globe (80% of whom are women) are paid through a piece rate system, resulting in wages that are extremely low. Within this system, workers make a very small amount per item, totaling wages as little as $200 a week for full-time work. Pay isn’t the only problem, though. The fashion supply chain is complex, with systems that include subcontracting to work factories around the globe. This often leads to a lack of oversight on safety for workers, many of whom have reported gender-based violence, harassment, and building safety issues. In 2013, a Bangladesh garment factory, Rana Plaza, collapsed, killing 1,134 people. As a result, the Bangladesh Accord was created to prevent this from happening again in the future. [IV] But, this is not about stopping everything at once and becoming this “perfect consumer”. It is about understanding the mechanism at play and trying to be more mindful next time we engage with fashion. (Adapted from Vogue – What is fast fashion?)

to each of the following questions. The gig economy provides extra income. A gig is a part-time job, sometimes termed “non-standard work,” performed by freelancers for a limited amount of time. The gig economy burst onto the scene in 2009, after the 2007–08 financial crisis, during which more people with traditional jobs needed a second profession to make ends meet. This goes along with the tech explosion that allowed people to work from virtually anywhere, and the inception of the ever-expanding universe of apps and websites such as Airbnb, Uber, and Postmates. Joining the gig economy can not only relieve some or all of the stress of living without a financial cushion, but it can also provide quick money for anything from a medical emergency to a vacation, so you don’t have to dip into savings or retirement funds. Gig work can also fill in when too few hours are available for working a primary job in a downturn or a seasonal slump, as is common, for example, in the construction industry. While kids and teens have been in the gig economy for eons via babysitting and mowing lawns, the new gig economy offers these younger workers an organized platform (rather than knocking on neighbors’ doors) and more fruitful options, from dog walking and tutoring to programming, website design, and social media management. Kids and teens can work toward purchasing their own sports equipment, gaming consoles, beauty hauls, or saving for college, providing them with entrepreneurial work experience and a financial education not generally provided by schools. They learn self- management skills and experience the pride of earning on their own. And who knows? Today’s side hustle may be tomorrow’s full-time career or successful start-up. Influencers, hoteliers, franchisees, transportation magnates, many started out as side businesses. Kids and adults alike gain valuable experience and earn money while finding their passion or removing unsuitable ones. (Adapted from Britannica – gig economy debate)

Joining the gig economy can not only relieve some or all of the stress of living without a financial cushion, but it can also provide quick money for anything from a medical emergency to a vacation, so you don’t have to dip into savings or retirement funds. Gig work can also fill in when too few hours are available for working a primary job in a downturn or a seasonal slump, as is common, for example, in the construction industry. While kids and teens have been in the gig economy for eons via babysitting and mowing lawns, the new gig economy offers these younger workers an organized platform (rather than knocking on neighbors’ doors) and more fruitful options, from dog walking and tutoring to programming, website design, and social media management. Kids and teens can work toward purchasing their own sports equipment, gaming consoles, beauty hauls, or saving for college, providing them with entrepreneurial work experience and a financial education not generally provided by schools. They learn self- management skills and experience the pride of earning on their own. And who knows? Today’s side hustle may be tomorrow’s full-time career or successful start-up. Influencers, hoteliers, franchisees, transportation magnates, many started out as side businesses. Kids and adults alike gain valuable experience and earn money while finding their passion or removing unsuitable ones. (Adapted from Britannica – gig economy debate)
