Online shopping can allow the user to be able to shop or buy things from online instead of shopping outside, this allow the user to have a more convenient shopping experience and be able to shop in any place at any moment, you can also choose the destination and discuss about the time of the things arrival and pay online, this gives the user plenty amount of freedom . Moreover, online shopping usually have a more wider choices or selections of items that isn't displayed in real life, this allow the user to be able to get anything they wanted easily.

Opposing argument
Online shopping shouldn't be completely trusted due to the prices of the online experience labelled might not always be the same, moreover the chances of being scammed in real life without seeing the product of which you were purchasing might usually result in the person who bought the product to receive something they did not wanted.
Online shopping is also too convenient that it can easily influence others to buy things and shop way too easily, spending all their money in an instant and resulting in a easy bankrupt, there will most likely to result in a large amount of debt which will hinder their life.
Lastly, online shopping might leak your personal information when not doing properly, this will involve the information of your parents and this will result in all various of problems such as arguing between family members and more.]]> 2022-02-23 01:55:38 UTC https://padlet.com/johnpoon1/lsgp5/wish/2061702524 johnpoon1 https://padlet.com/johnpoon1/lsgp5/wish/2063781762 2022-02-24 03:03:51 UTC https://padlet.com/johnpoon1/lsgp5/wish/2063781762 3 (b). ‘“Fandom” participation hinders rather than enhances the personal development of young people in Hong Kong.’ Do you agree with this view? Explain your answer. (12 marks) johnpoon1 https://padlet.com/johnpoon1/lsgp5/wish/2063782560 2022-02-24 03:04:36 UTC https://padlet.com/johnpoon1/lsgp5/wish/2063782560 Suggested Answer johnpoon1 https://padlet.com/johnpoon1/lsgp5/wish/2063794650 According to Info. 14, the expert who was in charge of the survey pointed out that parents urged their children to attend a large number of extra-curricular activities because of pressure from other parents. When they saw others’ children learning a new skill, they were afraid that their children would lag behind if not doing so.

Info 15.
Describe the cartoon: The cartoon of Info. 15 shows that many parents are pushing their children to climb up and asking them to join various extracurricular activities while climbing.
Then Imply the idea: This reflects that parents believe that learning a variety of skills will help their children’s future development and reach a higher class in society. (Or other possible answers)

b) Young ppl features: easily influenced by peers, look for recognition & acceptance by peers, want to be included in a group but be unique as well.

c) 1. fandom allows ppl with similar interests to connect tgt part in activities(eg concerts/follow idols news>discuss common topics)>enhance social circle>accepted into the group>sense of belonging+affiliation>self-esteem
2. fans make souvenirs and products (eg banners, cup holders) in regards to the idols they admire-> succeed in making products, products are recognized by idols>sense of achievement+competence>self-esteem

d) rebuttal:
Some may say young ppl wouldn't be able to control themselves in buying merchandise, thus spend a fortune and leads to increasing financial burden to their families. 
This actually creates a chance for them to learn to manage their consumption on products they need or not. There will be moments where they spend money on something they do not really need, but through trial and error, they will eventually acknowledge the importance of financial management and be willing to manage their spending.

Personal development of young blokes
Needs friends, peers recognition, to fit in with others, inclusively exclusive

ARGUMENTS
At concerts, young people gets meet other fans and can have common topic with them and maybe then become friends and enhance social circle
By following idols latest news, young people can fit in with others as they can discuss on the same topic together and then they can feel fitted in
Buying merchandise can allow fans to have peers recognition as peers would feel that they have the same interests and recognise young people as actual fandom as they used their own money to support their idols

Rebuttal
Buy merchandise may allow peers recognition, but use money]]> 2022-02-24 04:44:46 UTC https://padlet.com/johnpoon1/lsgp5/wish/2063898633 samuel https://padlet.com/johnpoon1/lsgp5/wish/2063904504 agree
