Dear Jake,

a. I didn’t expect it, but my energy came back when I could read real faces and small reactions instead of staring at silent boxes.

b. Kai’s connection kept dropping, so he missed key steps and went quiet in the group chat because he felt embarrassed to ask again.

d. Now I still use online videos to review, but I hope lessons don’t stay fully remote.

Question 16:

a. At my local market they lend baskets and ask you to pay a small fee by QR code if you forget one.

b. Many cities in our area are thinking about banning plastic bags to cut street and river trash.

c. With clear rules and support for small businesses the ban can protect nature without feeling like a punishment.

Question 17:

a. During an art lesson, our teacher showed photos of polluted rivers near textile factories, and our class set up a small swap shelf and a “fix-it” box.

b. The issue is that fast fashion is produced quickly and shipped long distances, so items often wear out fast and add to waste.

c. Trends won’t disappear, but buying fewer pieces, checking fabric quality, and wearing them longer can make style less harmful.

d. Fast fashion looks tempting when you need something new for a school event, especially if your budget is tight.

e. I ordered a cheap shirt online, and after a few washes it twisted and faded, so I sent it back and wondered how much packaging that return created.
