In the video, we observe a group of people that is doing an activity which is boat rafting. The current was very strong that the group of people was struggling to control the boat. Firstly, based on my personal experience I have gone through the same activity when i went for my secondary 3 camp. It was a struggle at first because i had a rough time communicating with my teammates as boat rafting is an activity where teamwork is needed. We all needed to be coordinated in order to paddle the boat forward. Teamwork is something that can benefit everyone as it is something we could use in the future. Teamwork is needed not just in sports but in a lot of other things such as when we work in the future. Other than communication,listening is just as important too. If we didn't listen and cooperate with one another, it would not work.

If i were an instructor, I would be able to  work on my communication skills because if there were a situation where my group would be panicking as they would be facing an obstacle, I would be able to calm the situation down . I would also work on  my skills to help other people better. For example, if there was an emergency, with my knowledge that i know, i will be able to solve the situation better. In addition, i would be able to improvise my technique if i do it regularly. With my new technique,  i will be able to educate the students in a better way. By doing so, it benefits both students and the instructors.

In outdoor sports such as boat rafting, river rafting or kayaking. Resilience is very important as if we were to be selfish and stop paddling, waves and currents will reroute your path and you will have to paddle even more to get back on the right path. This will drain more energy which will exhaust us even more. Resilience is something we need in our everyday life as it is a value that can benefit us in multiple situations. Without resilience, we might struggle with things in life.  In conclusion, there are many benefits to boat rafting.

Just last year when i was in secondary 3, we had a level activity where our entire sec 3 cohort went out for outward bound Singapore(Obs). I saw a group of people kayaking together at the sea. By doing this activity, you will get to bond with others, strengthen your teamwork in skills and you can also interact with other students in your cohort but in different classes. We are all mixed around, not with our own classmates. With this activity, I learnt how to overcome my fear in things and got out of my comfort zone. I’m pretty sure many others feel more confident now like me.

If I were a teacher that teaches physical education ( PE ) and I was given a chance to participate in this kind of activity, I would definitely join as PE teachers need some experience on this type of activity. This generation, even the adults like us are always too engrossed to our phones and we refuse to leave our house for even a walk. Activities like this will encourage us adults to go out more to exercise and be fit. The benefit(s) of this activity is  that kayaking are low impact activities that can improve your aerobic fitness, strength and flexibility. Specific health benefits include: Improved cardiovascular fitness. Increased muscle strength, particularly in the back, arms, shoulders and chest, from moving the paddle.

The last benefit of kayaking is stress relief. Stress is a feeling of emotional or physical tension and one of the best ways to reduce stress is to spend time outdoors and get some fresh air. While it is a huge factor in maintaining mental fitness, it is also accompanied by different illnesses that can worsen any existing medical conditions you may have. Stress can also affect your mental performance, it causes the brain to release specific chemicals in the body which can affect feelings. It is also responsible for reducing the ability for us to concentrate, make decisions and can even make you forgetful.

Hence, one of the main goals of keeping you healthy physically and mentally is to reduce stress. Luckily, kayaking is a great way to reduce stress while enjoying the environment and providing physical exercise to us. After all, mental health is one of the important things about us humans.

In conclusion, by kayaking, it can help build our endurance,strength, mental health, physical health and many more.

In  the video, I can observe that there is a barista making coffee at a cafe. He or she was making coffee using coffee powder which comes from coffee beans. He or she was making coffee from scratch unlike instant ones. Based on my personal experience, I have never made coffee from scratch. The only coffee that i have done is the instant packet which is usually for my parents. Most of the time i usually order from starbucks or coffee bean. I do know that making coffee from scratch is a skill that very few people can successfully learn and do it well. This skill is very useful and can benefit you. For example, your friends, family or relatives would be very impressed if you are able to make good coffee. Therefore being a barista is not easy but you are able to learn a skill which is very challenging.

If i were a customer ordering coffee, I would be very impressed by some baristas because of how beautiful some of them makes my coffee. For example, latte art is a very difficult skill which takes multiple practice in order to master it. It takes patience and resilience. I would be impress because i have seen some of my friends do latte art and fail terribly which shows how hard latte art is. It is a skill which can impress many people and customers. Having a skill that impresses easily is a benefit for a barista because lattle art requires focus, technique and you must be very calm to perfect your art. Therefore I would be very impressed by latte art if i were a customer.

The video shows us a man using a self check out counter. Using such counters allows for quick and efficient checkout, such as scanning your own items quickly, without needing to wait for the cashier to scan it for you. Not needing to wait long queues and being able to immediately check out by yourself without hassle feels extreme time saving. Usually, i witness long queues at cashier check outs, but rarely see anyone using the self checkout counters, and usually during a very rushed and packed hour of the day. A customer knows what they want, wether it be a slow moving checkout line, or a fast, efficient and  easy way of checkout with these counters. These checkout counters will provide faster, more accurate checkouts than traditional ones. If I were the cashier working at a supermarket, I would feel less pressured and stressed if more customers used self check out counters. Self check out counters allow customers to scan items on their own, instead of having a tired cashier helping every customer in the queue. I would feel very pressured to get the job done quickly, as well has during the rush hours, where everyone has lined up with heaps of groceries to check out. If self checkout machines were more used, cashiers would have a much easier time to do other important things, rather than spending the entire time scanning items at checkout. The use of digital payment methods allows us many benefits when using self checkout counter. One such benefit is that nowadays, people have been using their phones and even their smart watchs to make payments. The government is directly promoting cashless payments, moving on from from cash to cashless. As shown with many stores offering payment with different mobile services. cashless payments allow of payments even if you forget to bring cash with you, it can save you the trouble of needing any cash when payment with digital devices the norm now. Being able to move on and adapt from cash to cashless will certainly help with having smooth and easy transactions for future generations. Therefore, the use of self checkout counters are  beneficial for our use

With reference to the video, I can see a man checking out his own groceries at a grocery store.  He seems to be doing it very swiftly without having to face any problems and in my opinion, it is beneficial.

Firstly, by utilising the self checkout machine, we are able to ensure ourselves convenience. Self-checkout machines are available at many grocery stores most of the times. We are able to have access to these machines when the traditional checkout lanes are closed. They also offer a level of privacy, as we are able to scan and bag our own items without having to interact with the cashier. For example, with the covid situation ongoing previously, it would be ideal to not interact with individuals face to face. Some individuals may also feel uncomfortable or anxious when interacting with cashiers or other shoppers. Hence, the existence of self checkout machine is what brings us convenience. Furthermore, if I were an employee, I would rather much prefer customers to have control over the entire payment process. This is because checkout employees are responsible for scanning and begging items correctly. Any mistakes could result in lost revenue for the store or unhappy customers which they may lodge a complaint against us. Sometimes there may be errors that we as employees are unaware of which may delay the timing of checking out the customers. Customers may start to get impatient with us. Unsatisfied customers may increase the chances of us losing our jobs. By having access to the self checkout machine, customers are able to monitor their own scanning and able to bag their items at their own pace. Last but not least, by allowing ourselves to use the self checkout machines, it can be a valuable learning opportunity. The world is rapidly moving into technology, transforming the way we work, live, and communicate. The self checkout machine will enable us to adapt to the modern world. This will be specially beneficial to the elderly and young children who are new to such technology. This enriches them in educating themselves about the modern world. As technology continues to advance, it is likely that it will continue to shape and influence every aspect of our lives in years to come. Hence, these are the sufficient benefits to use self checkout machines.

In the video , it shows someone who is making a coffee.

There was once when i went to a cafe for a school program in the year 2022.I was able to try out doing latte art. I had fun as it was the first time i ever  try doing latte art and making a coffee. It was exciting because then i discovered the ways of how coffee was made in a cafe. Although it was hard to achieve the design that i wanted, i had fun as the worker showed my friends and i how they do the latte art. Since they are professionals , they made it look easy creating the design.

If i were a barista i would find it exciting as i am able to learn new stuff regarding to coffee, tea. I am also able to learn how to do latte art and the different designs they have. I am able to work on my latte art skills and get more knowledge. With the knowledge i have, i am able to work at different cafes like starbucks, coffee bean and i can go far.

By doing the activity shown in the video, it allow us to work on our patient. For example if i were a first timer and i am trying out on how to do latte art, if it does not work and turn out like how i expected, i should not give up and practice on it. Therefore, there

the video shows a man brewing coffee in a traditional way instead of using coffee machines like most of the cafes do . i would love to take part in this activity as i have a interest in working in fnb services since young . I like the vibe in this cafe as the atmosphere is very quiet and peaceful . this activity is a once in a lifetime experience and i definitely do not want to miss out .

I see a lady making coffee by filtering the coffee powder and in the background, I see another lady making I think a macchiato.

Last year when I was in secondary 3, our school organised an elective module programme where everyone would participate in their own interests. One of the elective modules was latte art making. I decided to join this module because i was always fascinated by how some workers skilfully pour the frothed milk onto the latte and some chocolate sauce to create latte art. We tried some latte art in school where we used coffee machine to create the coffee and a milk frother machine to froth the milk and then we added some chocolate syrup to create designs. We went out as a group to a well known latte art shop which was located in Bukit Gombak. I personally enjoyed watching how beautiful the lattes came out. I realised that when i go to coffee shops, Most people who don't like coffee say it's because of the taste. Specifically, coffee is just too bitter. When they go to coffee shops they typically prefer hot chocolate or tea.

# data[].attributes.body
In this video, I observe people making coffee in a shop. In Secondary 3, I gained interest in making drinks such as coffee and frappes. My brother has been a barista for years now and I asked him how to make these type of drinks and sometimes, my mum would ask me to help her make some coffee for tea time. With this activity, I feel like taking part in these type of activities would be enjoyable as you will be learning new things. You will be able to make coffee or other drinks other than tea or sweet drinks such as green tea for your guests during your own celebration ( Hari Raya, Deepavali, Chinese New Year, Christmas etc. )

If I were a teenager or an adult that loves to drink coffee, I would take part in this type of activity. I feel like instead of wasting money buying coffee or drinks that make you feel awake everyday would be a waste of time. If you learn how to make your own coffee, you can get it anytime anywhere and make it at home rather than go out and buy, waste a lot of money everyday. With this point, you will be able to not only save time but you will also be able to save energy and lots of money.

Last but not least, one o the enjoyable things about taking part of this activity is that it can be your coping mechanism and it can also be therapeutic to some. Many people find sports as a stress reliever or a coping mechanism, but the other few may find

In the video, i see that there is a woman making a coffee.

Firstly, based on my personal experience,  last two year, i used to to participate in this type of activity. It is enjoyable as we get more knowledge on how to make a coffee. For example, i learn that we have to keep track of the coffee in order to get a specific taste. It is hard as if we lose track of the time, the coffee might taste different from the expectation.

Consequently, if i were a barista, i would enjoy this activity as I can expand my interest in coffee. For example, if i have master different type of coffee, i would be able to share my interest and knowledge to others. I would also  then be able to grow my interest  and will be eager to learn deeper about facts of coffee. I would also like to consider my interest as my career in the future.

Lastly, the last thing that are enjoyable are the success of  the value of patience and perseverance. I learn this value as it is not easy to learn and master something. The coffee may seems easy to make but in reality it is not. I have to keep persevering and not give up to get the right taste and temperature . It is also a challenge as , if i messed up , i have to start from the scratch. It is hard as without patience and perseverance,  the result would not be the same. Therefore, there are many ways that are enjoyable about this hobby.

in the video, theres a woman making coffee for a cafe. Firstly, based on my personal experience, last year during my elective modules. I learned how to make coffee art. It was really enjoyable to be able to experience what a barista do on a daily basis. Although it was enjoyable, there was so many challenges like trying to make sure that the milk foams perfectly. It took me three times to get it right.

If i were a barista, i would enjoy having to learn different skills. I can get to know different recipes to each drinks. With my knowledge , i can also help other barista if they need help.I would also enjoy having to interact with different customers.

In this video, i can see a barista brewing coffee. Making coffee can be enjoyable as it is relaxing and it is not something that would require lots of work. This activity can also be considered a hobby as other may find this calming.

Brewing coffee can be done at home too. Just have to buy the coffee beans and coffee maker machines before hand. Since you have all the things needed to brew coffee at home, you can always do it anytime at your own convenience.
Coffee brewing can teach you about the science behind the brewing process, as well as the different types of beans and roasts available.
By brewing your own coffee, you can save money compared to buying coffee at cafes or coffee shops.

Having coffee brewing as a hobby is that you get to have great coffee when ever you like in the comfort of your home. I think its awesome when your hobby has a practical benefit, sort of like baking bread for hobby.
Overall, coffee brewing can be a fun and rewarding hobby that offers a range of benefits, from relaxation and creativity to socialization and improved health.

In the video, I see one women pouring hot water into a pour over coffee marker making her own coffee to drink. I think there is benefit towards doing this activity, as we will feel a sense of satisfaction, by making our self coffee to drink, by not simply buying one cup of coffee to drink just for the sick of convenient. Secondly, I think that if we take this activity from a worker view, it will have a very positive benefit for them, as it can help them take a break from their normal working life, as they will have some time consider as resting by making a cup of coffee for themselves to drink. Therefore, I think this would be the two main benefits of what is enjoyable about taking part in the activity shown in the video.

# data[].attributes.body
In this video, it shows a person making coffee in the traditional way, traditional coffee can be considered as aromatherapy as the smell of freshly brewed coffee is known to have a calming effect on the mind and can elevate the mood. another enjoyable feature about making traditional coffee is that you are able to have a hand-on experience, making traditional coffee involves a hands-on approach that can be satisfying and fulfilling. The process of measuring and mixing ingredients, heating the water, and pouring the coffee can be an engaging activity that requires attention and skill. Personally for me, the smell of the coffee beans is so strong that it gives off a pleasant sensory experience. I remember there’s one time where i tried to make traditional coffee and it was an amazing experience as i get to learn about their culture and what makes their coffee so unique. Making traditional coffee can be a social activity that brings people together. Sharing a cup of coffee with friends or family can be a bonding experience that creates a sense of community and connection.

Lastly , taking part in making traditional coffee can be an enjoyable experience that engages the senses, requires skill and attention, and can be a meaningful social or cultural experience.

# data[].attributes.body
In the video i can see someone making a cup of coffee. The activity is very enjoyable as you’re doing something that you enjoy by doing so you can release stress and enter a calm state of mind. Whenever I’m doing the hobby i love I always feel calm, peaceful and it makes me forget about all my worries for example when selling coffee, it releases me of my stress and the only thing i will focus on is making an enjoyable cup of coffee for my friends, family and customers. Hobbies can also make you money like becoming a barista. If you get to do something you love and get paid for it why wouldn’t you.

A lot of people like my friends and family also enjoy this activity as they get to see a smile on the faces of people who drink their coffee this gives them a warm feeling in their heart. Being able to make people smile has always been a dream for my best friend Steve and being able to do that through an activity he enjoys doing makes him enjoy the activity even more.

making coffee is also a form of art as some baristas design their coffee by using frothed milk for example making animals,hearts and buildings out of the coffee this also entices people to buy more coffee.

# data[].attributes.body
In the video, I saw a person making coffee in a cafe

Personally, I think that there are several enjoyable parts in participating in the video shown in the video. Firstly, I remember that I had once participated in a latte art class outside of school and I had to make it from scratch, it was my first time doing it and had no idea on what to do, but slowly, the instructors explained and I learnt a few new things which I found interesting. I think that participating in such activity can help you find out what is ur passion

The next benefit is that, I can use the skills that I have learnt to prepare drinks during family gatherings. Whenever there is a need to get coffee, instead of going out to buy it and spending ridiculous amount of money, I can make it for a fraction of the cost. And if I was person on the receiving end, I would feel very appreciated as

Script: in this video there is a barista making filtered coffee. In the background there is classical jazz playing. At the back there are more baristas making different types of coffee.

Personally i think that making coffee takes a long time but will be something enjoyable to do. Coffee is something i do not like to drink but i do enjoy making it occasionally for others as it something that calms me down. It took me months to make my first latte art it was so frustrating yet meaningful to do when i finally perfected it i jumped up and down in glee feeling

Some of my close friends and family members drink coffee every morning i asked them why do they do so and they said that if they don’t drink coffee first thing in the morning they will start having really bad headaches, migraines.

Making coffee is a art as it takes time and patience to make a great tasting coffee it you hurry the process the outcome will not be up to standard and the coffee will taste too bitter and it will not be a pleasant experience nor taste.
