Question 13:

a. Mia: I stopped trusting “perfect” reviews, so I asked an AI tool to summarise 200 one-star comments before buying.

b. Ethan: Why didn’t you get that skincare set the influencer pushed in her reel?

c. Mia: The summary flagged the same allergy issue again and again, and that was enough to deinfluence me.

Question 14:

a. Jordan: After that interview rejection, I bought sneakers I didn’t need; it felt like payback.

b. Priya: I get it, but your banking app shows three “treat myself” charges—are you okay?

c. Jordan: Not really. The thrill faded, and now the total is stressing me out.

d. Priya: Try a 24-hour cart rule and a small “revenge” budget, so it stays under control.

e. Jordan: Good idea—I’ll return one item, keep one, and mute shopping ads for a while.

Question 15:

Dear Sam,

How’s your week going? School has been busy, but I’m managing.

a. I now plan outfits the night before, mixing one loud colour with basics, and I snap a mirror photo for later.

b. A friend said my hoodie habit might be draining my energy, so I tried a bright shirt and felt lighter.

c. It sounds silly, but using clothes like this has made mornings calmer and my confidence steadier.

d. Even my classmates noticed; one asked where I found the orange socks, which made me smile all day.

e. Lately I’ve been waking up in a flat mood, especially on days with presentations or long meetings.

Take care.

Best,
Lien

Question 16:

a. The next morning I set a ten-minute timer to reset: shower, open curtains, and put yesterday’s dishes straight into the sink.

b. “Goblin mode” sounds funny, but it describes the slump when you hide in oversized clothes, scroll for hours, and let small tasks pile up.

c. It happened to me during exam week, when my room turned into a snack graveyard and I stopped replying to friends.

d. That tiny restart didn’t fix everything, yet it gave me enough momentum to answer messages and pack my bag for school.

e. Now, when I feel that slide coming, I allow one lazy evening, then use the timer again so the mess stays manageable.

Question 17:

a. When I want something new, I check my closet, repair what I own, and borrow from my cousin first, which often kills the impulse.

b. The goal isn’t to be perfect; it’s to buy less on purpose so my money goes to experiences and long-lasting items.

c. Underconsumption core looks aesthetically pleasing online, but for me, it started after I realised that my “haul” videos left me with clutter and anxiety.

d. Keeping a list of “one-in, one-out” swaps also helped, because it forced me to notice what I wasn’t actually wearing.

e. Strangely, repeating outfits became easier once I chose a small colour palette and saved the rest of my screen time for hobbies.
