Exercise 1

Day 1

1. Scientifically speaking, skin-whitening products could actually whiten the skin in some degree. Aside from this, conformity sort of leads to this problem. People love beauty and like to compare and share. Skin-whitening manufacturers take advantage of it and put enormous money on the advertisements. People care more about whether they’ve used skin-whitening products than the actual effects. The risk of using these products is that users will get trapped into a vicious spiral. They will compare more and buy more and will never be satisfied. Worst of all, their focus and time are deprived by the focus and time spent on their skin.

2. We get information, company and enjoyment from social interaction. Owing to the advancement of technology, we could get almost all of these from the internet more quickly and more variously at any time we want. We can use the phone to buy anything online and order takeout without moving the lips. Even the self-service supermarkets are expanding cities. With the help of AI, VR and more advantaged technology, our society will be more efficient and will be connected by the invisible net. But in the real world, every one of us will be a lonely island.

3. More and more people have the ability to buy their own vehicle. And traveling by personal vehicle is more comfortable. Nowadays, we prefer personal space. No matter whether we drive a car or a motorcycle, we don’t have to share our personal space with others. We prefer to wait in our car on the road rather than waiting for the public vehicle with others. The more we don’t want to share the public vehicles with others, the more time we will spend on the road in our own car.
