I think the younger generation, they will prefer to live in the cities, because the cities have more opportunities to find a job, and for older people they don't prefer the city lifestyle because the city lifestyle is faster than the countryside and for younger people, the city's pace will fit them, especially because they like new things, and most new things will show up in the city and not in the countryside. The older generation like the countryside more, and they can be more comfortable and have a slowly life because in the cities there is more pollution than the rural areas.]]> 2022-01-26 08:43:19 UTC https://padlet.com/lillysng1995/wbr3scrvpzf3x1e9/wish/2013041018 lillysng1995 https://padlet.com/lillysng1995/wbr3scrvpzf3x1e9/wish/2013041019 I think that the younger people, on the whole, enjoy living in cities. There are many more work opportunities and higher salaries available there, and this means that they have a great chance to go out and have fun with their friends. In large cities like Saigon, there are always music concerts or something like that going on.
I am not sure about how older citizens feel about dwelling in the cities for the rest of their life, but I heard of lot of my parents' friends are planning to move to a more quiet area near the city, like the outskirt to get away from the traffic noise and air pollution. I think at the age, they've spent enough of their time in the city, working and earning money, maybe this is the time they finally can relax with this more peaceful lifestyle in the countryside.]]> 2022-01-26 08:43:19 UTC https://padlet.com/lillysng1995/wbr3scrvpzf3x1e9/wish/2013041019 lillysng1995 https://padlet.com/lillysng1995/wbr3scrvpzf3x1e9/wish/2013041021 2022-01-26 08:43:19 UTC https://padlet.com/lillysng1995/wbr3scrvpzf3x1e9/wish/2013041021 2+ 3: Describe a time you saw something interesting on social media lillysng1995 https://padlet.com/lillysng1995/wbr3scrvpzf3x1e9/wish/2013041023 Describe a time you saw something interesting on social media

- become academically successful: by doing a lot of memorisation of academic knowledge+ practice: homework
- improve their soft skills: develop their communication skills + leadership (projects + teamwork)
3. Why are some people well-rounded and others only good at one thing?

- because of their fields/ job.
- well-rounded: generalist /ˈdʒen.ər.əl.ɪst/
- specialist - expertise
4. Why does modern society need talents of all kinds?
- It's quite obvious our contemporary society is seeking all kinds of talents => perform a particular task in a well-desired manner. To ensure the sustainable development of a country or an organisation, all aspects of that institution must be considered and taken care of.

For example, if you decided to build a project for a company, then you need someone to guide you on the financial assistance required to do the job, amount of time taken, resources required to build that project, advice on different expenses, and the allocation of those expenses in different areas, marketing of that project, sale, and purchase of different resources for that project. So you can see that it’s not an easy task. You require different people to help you achieve or complete this project. Similarly, modern society jobs also required the division of tasks among different people to achieve the targets of jobs. You can devise different strategies to complete these jobs in a particular period.

What it is: an iPad (gen 8- last year)

How it was broken:
wasn't paying attention, wasn't very attentive to the iPad bc I was holding a drink in my right hand
=> flew out of my hand, just slipped out of my hand and this had left me totally flabbergasted /ˈflabərˌɡastəd/ for 5 seconds => landed on the floor on the ground floor
Reason: The glass was fine, not broken at all, but I couldn't turn the device on again, maybe bc I have the iPad cover on so even with this great height, the glass wasn't smashed into pieces but the screen was totally black => tried to salvage the irreparable screen it but failed => store, can't get the warranty because they said it the user's fault, it was easy to tell bc one of the slides bends slightly from the impact.
=> diagnose: the panel digitizer was broken
=> digitizer replacement
=> roughly 6 mil, ship to Singapore
How you got it repaired:
=> by fiance and I tried finding an aftermarket alternative => not the original one but a lot cheaper and faster => 2.5 mil

And how you feel about it:
devastated => learn to be more careful and attentive when handling many stuff in my hands, especially when walking down the stairs.

Part 3:

1. Are IT-related jobs valued more by society?

2. Is the quality of products worse than before?
cheap price at the expense of quality
Planned obsolescence: /ˌäbsəˈlesəns/

companies are deliberately making their products worse => shorter lifespan => sell more products

3. What kinds of things do people like to repair by themselves?
.. you may want to consider handling the repair yourself, only hiring someoneelse if truly needed. Things that do not require lots of technical skills such as torn clothes or leaky pipes. Save money
Consult Youtube tutorial videos

Why do people like to get their mobile phones repaired in specialized stores?r
