I agree with the statement.

Most of all, it's very helpful.

For example, I was a senior in college last year.

I was vey busy because I had to take several tests and interviews to get a job.

However, at that time, my uncle gave me his laptop computer.

It allowed me to search information and a lot of reviews of the company I wated to go.

I prefer to shop online.

Most of all, it's very time-saving.

Let me give you an example. Last year, I was working at a company called Samsung.

As a new employee, I didn't have any background and knowledge on my duties. However, the flexible working allowed me to have time to study and expand knowledge about that industry at home.

At the same time, there were tons of misunderstandings and miscommunications because I didn't have enough time to talk to my co-workers face to face.

These are what I felt about flexible working.

 

I prefer to create an online survey.

Most of all, it's time-saving.

For example, I was a senior in college last year. I was very busy because I had to study hard to get a job.

At that time, I played a role in research part in a psycholohy class. Thus I made an online survey to save my time. It was statistically convincing.

As a result, I was able to focus on my studies and even get a good grade in that class with minimal time consumption.

That's why I think so.

 

I prefer to carefully schedule my plans.

Most of all, it's very efficient.

For example, I was a senior in college last year. I was very busy because I had to study hard to get a job and even take several tests and interviews.

However, I planned my schedules carefully, allocating specific time for job interviews, studying, tests and so on.

As a result, I was able to complete all of my tasks on time.

That's why I think so.

 

 

I disagree with the statement.

Most of all, it's time-consuming.

For example, I was a senior in college last year. I was very busy because I had to study hard to get a job and also work a part-job to pay for my tuition.

I wanted to relieve the stress that I gor from my work and studies. So I went to a theater alone, without spending time on setting a schedule with friends.

As a result, I was able to fully take rest from my daily routine.

That's why I think so.

 

I disagree with the statement.

Most of all, it's unhelpful for kids.

For example, when I was young, my teachers and my mother scolded me almost everyday because I had difficulty making decisions my own.

However, my mother let me consider my future careere my own. So I shared my thoughts, feeling and opinions about my future careere with my mother.

As a result, I was able to find my interests and even become more independant.

That's why I think so.

 

I believe that it's easier to eat healthy now because of smartphones.

For example, I was a senior in college last year. I was very busy because I had to study hard and also work a part-time job.

However, one of my friends recommended an application to me, which was helpful for personal health management.

Thanks to the app, I was able to maintain my daily routines including ingridients and even workouts while studying hard.

As a result, my mental and physical health improved dramatically.

That's why I think so.
