Irish food perception summary:

in this speech, I have gained a lot. I know the food types of Ireland, and learned how to find data, fill in data and collect data. I have investigated a lot of people who are very willing to cooperate with me to finish the work, so I have made great progress, and in these days I have known a lot of people. Although this process is very difficult, but it has learned a lot in this process. I am very happy, because I can contact with friends from so many countries. Although the score is not ideal, but the process is very fun. Finally, I wish me every day to improve, IELTS pass.

For this project, I worked with Jamol , Grace and Rifat.

Before I did this, I were very afraid and confused. Everyone wanted to get good marks. So, we all worked very hard. We had to compile the data and produce the graphs. We often discuss our report outside the library. So, brainstorm and come up with at least a few solutions. After we collected the data, two of us wrote the draft report, another two of us make the PPT. During the project, we share our ideas again and again and changed the report and PPT again and again to make our work better and better.

For this experience I learned a lot. Firstly, I know the importance of teamwork. The spirit is great. We should respect everyone ideas, and then we share it with each other, which is helpful to create a better achievement. I should try to enjoy it. Secondly, this survey provides a chance for us to communicate with others. It is a good way to practice our speaking skills.

If we had to do this again, to make it better we would like to get more information from more people. We will explain more clearly when we asking or answering our questions. Maybe I could use a few jokes to lighten the mood.

Thank you .

Betty (ZHAO SHI YING-0333602) I agree with the topic. In modern society, many people  like  new things. I  agree, because I have my own reasons. In the shopping mall, maybe  things which are  new are usually very good looking.  Beautiful things have a striking impact on human vision. So to get your money to buy  something new is like rewarding yourself.I usually buy something to reward  my self after  I have  tested it. I think, there is a saying in China  which says  new Is not old. I think  new things make me  feel  happy.     Sometimes, some people think that buying too much new stuff can waste money，but I think, it  is all right, because we  do not   buy new things  everyday.  We only buy on special days. For example, if I get  something new, it' IS like getting a gift, and this gift will motivate me to  work harder so that I understand that the gift is not easy to come by.  So I will become more willing   to learn and will move towards my  goal.    It will take a long time for  me to get the next gift, so it will not waste money.     Buying  new things   is not impossible, but we need to be rational in our  consumption, and by all means, we should  not waste.

For me,the rapid developments in science and technology and the continuous progress of human society today, [i] made buying new things too important in our liveS.
Firstly, new things are like progressive technologies,they give us various benefits,the benefits of the progress of science and technology is to save a lot of unnecessary workING time, so that it is very convenient for people to USE [live,] Personally, the technology is especially important in my life, [i] I think technology can change our lives,but in modern society,there are so many people who buy fashionable clothes,the newest cell phoneS, they may spend a lot of money on shopping every moNth, even every week. IN a day, THEY MAY spend more time ON [in] shopping. SO, they don't have enough time to read,do sport as well as being with friends and family.
Then, people will think about whether theSe new things are important to them,  online shopping costs people a lot of money TOO. In my opinion,people think too much about shopping,they want to know the advantageS and  disadvantags of the new things they buy such as fashionable clothes,new laptops,cell-phoneS as well as new shoes, to improve the quality of their lives. I agree with the statement that shopping has become too important in modern society. New things have many advantageS for people, but they have some disadvantageS too. They may cause people to get lost in new things and forget about traditional things. People should find a balance between new things and traditions.
So in my opinion,even though new things are very important, AND  I too enjoy buying new things. However people cannot just indulge in new things. They should take advantage of the progress of new things and develop traditional things.

Hi Zi Pei,
Some errors need to be corrected.
This essay does not relate to the given topic "Buying New Things..."

# data[].attributes.body
Most people like new things because they are clean, shiny and new.
In modern society, many new things are rapidly being produced  and they come to us too soon before new things wear out. So they give us a big stimulus and they get our minds so easily to buy more and more.

As well as this, in modern society, we buy things that we do not even know are really necessary. because new things are more exciting AND WE TEND TO [than] buy {ing} MORE THAN  what we need.

However,  new things DO NOT give us a lot of meaning. For example, we can spend some precious time with PEOPLE WHO ARE DEAR TO US  [new  someone] during  THEIR LIVES [they life] and It can be an experience to develop smart consumption habits. [but] Under SUCH circumstances, WE should [we] think about the important things when spending.

In conclusion, I think that in today's society, rather than buying new things, I need to have the necessary  consumption habits to help me lead a happier life.

QUITE GOOD! KEEP IT UP. `sarah`

It is quite common these days for young people to buy new things.This has too much importance in modern society.
Firstly，my opinion is in modern society the times are changing so，with the progress of the times many new products have been produced，and developed with science and technology.People have become a kind of robot，so they think of spending money only.People like to go shopping and buy something new.This is also very normal.I often go shopping with my friends and my classmates.Shopping is a girl’s favorite parts time.For example l like to buy new things，new close，new shoes，new lipsticks，new cosmetics and more things.I think it is also a way to promote economic development.So it plays an important role in society.
On the other hand,some people think maybe we should

protect the ENVIRONMENT AND [most primitive things,we will carry forward the]

OUR cultural and traditional values.So we should not PLACE TOO MUCH IMPORTANCE ON buyING [the] new THINGS

and [loathe] DISREGARD the old THINGS. Ideas will be relatively traditional.The idea that you should not throw away old things and [catch] KEEP up with

the tRend. LIFE [It] is about preserving historical things TOO.

In conclusion think ,I buying things have too much

importance.in modern society,Times are changing as technology is getting better and better.So,the existence of new

things is important,and it can drive economic growth.I think

buying new things is necessary but maybe we should care

about old things and I think buying new tings has too much

importance in modern society.

The second reason is more and more people like to use new things before the older things get worn out. This is very wasteful. More and more garbage will have a bad impact on the environment. Has been greaty As a result, there are mountains of rubbish near every town and city. All these  is wasteful and has will have a very negative effect on the environment There will be more garbage in the world.

Buying new things has too much importance in modern society.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree buying new things has too much importance in modern society. In addition,we can find interest in new things and enjoy them. Then THEY will bring us an unprecedented pleasure.
There is no doubt that the emergence of new things represent the new development of society. First come first served. With the development of science and technology, more and more people are beginning to use new high-tech products. On the one hand,the high-tech products make [s] people live more easily. On the other hand, THEY ARE [it is] convenient for people to do any thing that they want. Technology is beneficial to us.
Buying new things with friends,can make people happy and relaxed.If someone buys new things that he has never bought before,   he can know thESE [is] thingS ARE  [is] good [for it] . New things can bring feelings of freshness .
As a result,buying new things is important and significant. We should [to] have different experiences IN buying new things.This will improve the quality of OUR LIVES [life for people]. We can try something new. It is a wonderful FEELING [felling] to buy something new.

Nowadays, more and more people spend too much time in order to buy new things in modern society. I very much agree that modern society has become too commercialized.

Firstly, I think when people spend too much time on buying thingS, IT CAN BE  [is] bad for     them. If  someone always thinks about wanting to buy  THE latest clothes or update their electronic devices, they will ignore what they already have and don’t use them.  In addition, people  who always think about buying new things can waste their time and money . There are a lot of ways  to spend their time.For example, parents can choose activities FOR their  kids to do in their free time, rather  than GOING SHOPPING FOR NEW THINGS. [showing].

Secondly, getting new things also has A negative impact on society. On the one hand, many valuable resources are used, AND [but] maybe no one really wants THE NEW ITEMS WHICH HAVE BEEN BOUGHT. Some of these resources are  non-renewable like  paper [s] and  wood [s]. [And] People will not have the chance to use them  in the future. On the other hand, some [of] people buy new things and throw away a lot of items even though these things are still usable. As a result , there will be rubbish everywhere  in the city. All of these will lead to negative effects for the environment.

In conclusion, sometimes I enjoy buying new things.However, I agree with the statement that shopping has too much importance in modern society today.

I agreed  with the topic. In modern society, many peoples likes new [some] things. I agree, because I have my own reasons. In the shopping mall, maybe [some] things which are  new ARE usually very good looking.  Beautiful things have a striking impact on human vision. [than,]so to get your money to buy a something new [stuff] is  [an award] LIKE REWARDING YOURSELF.I usually buy something to reward  MYSELF after  I HAVE  tested it. I think, there is a saying in China  which says [called] new IS not old. I think  new [some] things make me [enjoy. I] feel  happy.

Sometimes, some people think that buying too much new stuff can waste money，but I think, IT IS ALL RIGHT, BECAUSE WE DO NOT buy new things [ is don't buy new things]  everyday. [It is  Just] we only buy on special days. ，For example, if I get [a new If I get] something new, it' IS like getting a gift, and this gift will motivate me to [make me] work harder so that I understand that the gift is not easy to come by. , So I will become more WILLING  [loving] to learn and will move towards MY [the] goal.  [Go close, but]  It will take a long time for  ME TO GET the next gift, so it will not waste money.

I very much agree that buying new things has too much importance in modern society. More and more people love to buy new things to get relaxation from the high-pressure society. During shopping, people can get more pleasure from contacts with friends or relatives.

Firstly, in my opinion, going shopping is a good way to meet friends. Today, society has become too commercialized. Social contact has too much importance for modern people, so, shopping is a good choice. As usual, we choose to invite friends to buy something new instead of visiting their homes. We can go outdoors to talk about some news by way of shopping. People love not only buying new things but also getting more pleasure from social contacts.

Secondly, when people go to shopping malls, they want to buy something important for their homes or themselves. For instance, if you buy a new lawn mower, it will make your life more convenient and comfortable and you can have a beautiful garden. On the other hand, when we buy a new smart phone for our family members, we can share our pictures with each other on social media and remember the happy hours. It will make our life happier.

Finally, I very much agree that people pay  TOO MUCH [a lot of] attention  TO [on] buying new things. [,] It is important in modern society TO STRIKE A BALANCE BETWEEN SHOPPING AND KEEPING OUR SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS. This will have good effects on social contactS and life.

* QUITE WELL DONE. JUST TAKE NOTE OF THE CORRECTED MISTAKES which are INDICATED WITH CAPITAL LETTERS. ~sarah`

# data[].attributes.body
Technology is constantly evolving every day. Our need for new things is also on the rise . We don’t know how to choose new things. For example, we use mobile phones and computers which are constantly   BEING upGRADED  [dating] and coming ouT [r] with  new products. So, when a new thing is born, people spend a lot of time thInking about whether it should be bought rather than spending theIR [re] time in other useful places like the library or museum.

Firstly , I don’t think it’s a good decision to buy something for no purpose . Technology is indeed growing , but the bad effects are unwise consumption habits . Let’s take the phone as an example . Today ,  iphones are basically ubiquitous. Nowadays, it is very convenient for mobile phones to access the internet . However, some people are not satisfied with the functions of mobile phones. so the  phone has been constantly upGRADED [dated]  with added style and functions. Many people just want to experience some new things. I think the phone should have some basic functions

Secondly, buying new products is partly necessary. New things can broaden our horizons and give us more information .They can help people to learn more about things.

As for me , [and] it is important to buy something new , which really helps us a lot .but we must be rational when buying things.
