  It is very important to protect the environment because it gives us clean air, water, and a safe place to live. To save the environment, I recycle plastic bottles, cans, and paper. I also reuse shopping bags and water bottles in my daily life. In addition, I reduce the use of single-use plastics such as straws and cups. I try to save energy by turning off lights and fans when not in use. If I work in the fashion industry, I will use eco-friendly materials and promote sustainable fashion to protect our planet.

One incident I want to share is about the time I lost my wallet on the bus. It happened last summer when I was going to school in the morning. The bus was very crowded, and I didn’t realize that my wallet had fallen out of my pocket. When I got off the bus, I wanted to buy breakfast but couldn’t find my wallet anywhere. I quickly called the bus station to report my problem. Luckily, a kind passenger found it and gave it to the driver, so I could get it back later. From that incident, I learned to be more careful with my belongings and always check them before leaving.

Life in the future will be very different from today. People will live in smart cities with advanced technology everywhere. Robots and artificial intelligence will help us with housework and work tasks, making life easier and more comfortable. Transportation will be faster with flying cars and eco-friendly vehicles. However, there will also be some drawbacks. People may become too dependent on technology and lose real human connections. Pollution and global warming could still be serious problems if we do not protect the environment. In my opinion, the future will be exciting and full of opportunities, but we must use technology wisely to keep our world safe and balanced.

Writting task 6

In the upcoming season, I think the oversized streetwear trend will be very popular. Many young people love comfortable and casual styles, so loose T-shirts, baggy jeans, and hoodies will become the main fashion items. The dominant colors of this trend will be neutral tones like beige, gray, and black, which give a cool and modern look. People will look relaxed yet stylish in these outfits. To complete the trend, they will wear sneakers, baseball caps, and simple silver jewelry. This style is easy to mix and match, perfect for both daily life and social media photos. I believe this trend will continue to grow because it shows individuality and comfort at the same time.

One popular application is Instagram, which is used for sharing photos, videos, and connecting with friends around the world. To create an account, you should follow four main steps. First, download and open the Instagram app on your device. Second, choose “Sign Up” and enter your email address or phone number. Third, create a username and password, then fill in your personal information such as full name and birthdate. Finally, verify your account by entering the code sent to your email or phone. Some possible problems you may face include invalid email addresses, weak passwords, or not receiving the verification code, but these can usually be solved by rechecking your information or restarting the app.

Task 2

I usually make fashion sketches twice a week to practice my design ideas. Recently, I have sketched some evening dresses and casual outfits inspired by modern street style. Before sketching, I always prepare drawing tools such as pencils, markers, paper, and color sets. The first step is to draw the body figure with correct proportions. Next, I outline the clothing design, showing shapes, lines, and folds. Then, I add details like accessories or patterns to make the design more realistic. Finally, I color the sketch to highlight fabrics and textures. The most important step is drawing the figure, because it creates the base for the design and helps the clothes look natural and well-fitted.

Fabric manufacturing today is mostly done by modern textile mills using advanced machines. First, cotton is harvested from cotton fields, mainly in warm countries such as India, China, or the USA. The cotton fibers are then cleaned, dried, and packed into bales before being shipped to textile mills. At the mills, workers card and spin the cotton into yarn, which is then woven or knitted into fabric using large automatic looms. After weaving, the fabric goes through finishing processes such as dyeing, printing, and ironing to improve its texture and color. Finally, the finished fabric is packed and delivered to garment factories or fashion brands for making clothes and other textile products.

Task 6

My favorite music video is “Kill This Love” by BLACKPINK. It was produced by a professional Korean film crew with an experienced director and editor who focused on powerful visuals and choreography. The band worked with famous stylists to create bold outfits and accessories that matched the song’s strong theme. The video was filmed in several artistic settings with dramatic lighting and effects. After filming, it was carefully edited to match the beat and rhythm of the song. The music video was released on YouTube and quickly went viral worldwide, gaining millions of views within hours. I feel that this video is creative, energetic, and inspiring, perfectly showing BLACKPINK’s confidence and talent.

Task 2

Having a good roommate or colleague is very important because it helps create a comfortable and supportive environment for living or working. A perfect one should be honest, responsible, and respectful, as these qualities build trust and cooperation. It is also great if both share similar habits, such as keeping things clean, being punctual, and communicating openly, because this reduces conflicts and makes daily life easier. Having such a person brings many benefits, including mutual understanding, emotional support, and better teamwork. To find a perfect roommate or colleague, you can ask for recommendations, join reliable groups, or meet people through work or school to choose someone with compatible values and lifestyle.

Task 2

Nowadays, people have different opinions about wearing school uniforms. Some believe uniforms create equality and discipline among students, while others think they limit personal expression. Personally, I support wearing school uniforms because they make everyone look neat and help reduce pressure to follow fashion trends. Uniforms also save time in the morning and strengthen students’ sense of belonging to their school. However, one drawback is that wearing the same clothes every day can feel boring and uncomfortable, especially in hot weather. If I were the principal, I would keep the uniform policy but allow students to choose from several designs or wear casual clothes on certain days to keep them comfortable and happy.
