🎯PHẦN BÀI MẪU
These days people in some countries are living in a “throwaway” society which means people use things in a short time then throw them away. What are its causes and what impacts can it have?

Dịch đề: Ngày nay người dân ở một số quốc gia đang sống trong một “xã hội bỏ đi” nghĩa là người ta sử dụng đồ đạc trong một thời gian ngắn sau đó vứt chúng đi. Nguyên nhân và ảnh hưởng mà xã hội này gây ra?

The topic of “throwaway society” has been discussed in recent years. In this society, people tend to throw away their old items regardless of whether or not they still work and purchase the latest version of things. This essay will look at some primary reasons for this phenomenon and the adverse impacts that it could have on individuals and the environment.

There are several causes of the throwaway society and I think advertising could be the first culprit. Advertisements encourage people to purchase goods and services that they do not really need by delivering a message that possessing the latest version of an item could improve a person’s self-image, confidence and even social status. For example, many of today’s teenagers spend nearly $1,500 buying iPhone X to show that they are wealthy and fashionable even though their old phones are still in good condition and perfectly functional. Another cause is mass production of non-durable goods which are often used once and thrown away. These products are much cheaper and more convenient than durable ones, hence, attract a large number of customers.

Individuals living in the throwaway society could suffer a great deal. They could easily get into serious debt if they get into the habit of buying the latest, novelty items. Many teens are being burdened with thousands of dollars in credit card debt for their unnecessary purchases, which could lead to depression and anxiety. Environmental degradation is another problem facing the throwaway society. Due to excessive production of disposable goods, huge amounts of hazardous waste are being discharged into the environment, which directly contaminates soil and water.

In conclusion, there are various factors leading to the advent of our throwaway society and increasing consumer debt and environmental damage are the two major problems which result from this society.

[生活美語] 同學有看過Bag to Earth*這種廚餘回收袋嗎？

在溫哥華第一次見到!

這些袋子完全都是用裝廚餘的可生物分解紙做的；這種由可再生材料製成的紙張為堆肥過程添加了所需的營養，因而使得有機食物的垃圾循環更具效率。透過連結可以閱讀更多有關袋子的資訊：https://www.bagtoearth.com/about

The bags are made entirely of biodegradable paper and are used to hold kitchen waste/food scraps (廚餘). This makes the organic food waste cycle more efficient as the paper, made from renewable and sustainable resources, adds needed nutrients to the composting process. You can read more about the bags here: https://www.bagtoearth.com/about

在台灣，我們使用塑膠袋裝廚餘。而這些袋子會被回收、還是被燒？我們多少的廚餘會變成肥料或是用來餵豬？這個過程的效率如何？我們應該如何做以減少食物浪費並降低回收過程的環境成本？這些是當探討環境污染時，我們應該思考的一些問題。

In Taiwan, we use plastic bag to hold our kitchen waste. Are these bags recycled or burned? How much of our kitchen waste is turned into fertilizer or pig feed? How efficient is the process?

第七波強力主打〈還記得嗎〉
「還記得嗎」獻給歌迷 張韶涵與歌迷的十年約定

十年前，Angela曾經站在舞台上怯弱的問歌迷：「十年後，你們還會記得我嗎？」Angela一直沒忘記與歌迷的這個約定，十年後她在專輯裡面收錄了「還記得嗎」這首歌，由她擔任音樂製作人，並參與填詞，歌詞唱著「夢最初的約定 十年之後還記得嗎 好幸運 我有你」，也將這首歌當成她《純粹》世界巡迴演唱會的最後一首曲目，用充滿感激與愛唱這首歌獻給歌迷，謝謝歌迷滿滿的愛，會支撐她跟歌迷繼續走向更多個十年。

「還記得嗎」對Angela具有很大的意義，她希望可以用有故事的MV來感動大家，MV以微電影的手法呈現，Angela重返少女時代，穿上高中制服，還換上一頭俏麗短髮，整個人青春洋溢，說是高中生也不為過，完全沒有違和感，MV中她跟男主角大談戀愛，兩人有浪漫互動，以一首歌當成兩人十年後的約定。

Angela說，藉由這樣的故事情節呈現，更能傳遞回憶、約定與未來，並讓人回想起自己在十年前跟十前後的差異有多大，就像這首歌一樣，一直提醒著Angela，她的身後有一群支持著她的粉絲，即使十年過去，她依舊感受到滿滿的愛，沒有變過，每當聽到這首歌，她又有繼續唱下去的動力，也希望聽到這首歌的人，能夠想起他們說好要完成的事情，莫忘初衷，堅持下去。

【‭ ‬還記得嗎 Do You Remember】
作曲Composer‭ ‬：Johnny Chao
作詞‭ ‬Lyricist：吳易緯‭ ‬Eri Wu‭/‬張韶涵‭ ‬Angela

那一座星空的操場
還記得嗎
我們徹夜聊夢想

未知的世界多麼大
有你在我身旁
就能什麼都不怕

沒有人聽懂的傻話
還記得嗎？
寫滿青春的圍牆

好努力練習的倔強
淺淺傷疤
勇敢是我們的翅膀

到最高的天際‭ ‬眼淚都是流星
到最深的海底‭ ‬回憶釀成秘密
夢最初的約定‭ ‬十年之後還記得嗎
好幸運‭ ‬我有你

你眼中我單純模樣
還記得嗎
約好不能變複雜

每一滴青澀的淚光
別遺忘
跟著我大聲歌唱

到最高的天際‭ ‬眼淚都是流星
到最深的海底‭ ‬回憶釀成秘密
夢最初的約定‭ ‬十年之後還記得嗎
好幸運‭ ‬我有你

解不開生命的難題
掙扎呼吸
從沒放棄過自己

就帶著交換的真心
去飛行
不論我們在哪裡～
還請你不要忘記～

【‭ ‬還記得嗎 Do You Remember】
作曲Composer‭ ‬：Johnny Chao
作詞‭ ‬Lyricist：吳易緯‭ ‬Eri Wu‭/‬張韶涵‭ ‬Angela

That open field under the moonlight
Do you remember‭?‬
How we talked overnight about our dreams

No matter how big this world is
I'm fearless with you by my side

Silly talks that no one gets
Do you remember‭?‬
The wall that‭ ‬was scribbled with youth

The stubbornness which we practiced so hard for
Fainted scars
Courage is our wings

Above the highest skyline‭, ‬all tears become fallen stars
Down below the deepest ocean‭, ‬memories become secrets
10‭ ‬years from now‭, ‬will we‭ ‬remember the dreams we have vowed‭?‬
I'm lucky to have you

My innocent look in your eyes
Do you remember‭?‬
We promised not to contaminate it

Every genuine tears
Do not forget
Sing freely with me

Above the highest skyline‭, ‬all tears become fallen stars
Down‭ ‬below the deepest ocean‭, ‬memories become secrets
10‭ ‬years from now‭, ‬will we remember the dreams we have vowed‭?‬
I'm lucky to have you

Unable to solve the dilemmas in life
Struggling to breathe
I've never once give up on myself

So take off with our genuine hearts that we've exchanged
No matter where we are

Please do not forget

Your highness the great Lord, The Sultan of Johor.
Your Majesty Sultan Ibrahim Ismail.
I'm one of Your Highness's subject, called Namewee.
From one of your colony named Muar.
Muar is a lovely and beautiful place.
So as the name given by your highness, The Imperial City.
We, the peoples of this beautiful land are proud and happy.
Johor, under Your Highness's care and lovely leadership
has become a land with beauty and magnificent.

But something has hit this sacred land lately..
Which seriously injured the sanctity and dignity of Johor.
Therefore, I arise to seek the help from Your Highness
to uphold the justice for the peoples.
During the Malaysian 13th General Election.
Peoples from Johor has fulfill their obligations with full dedications.
They came from all over the world.
Peoples willing to flew back to the country..
To cast out their significant vote....

In order to appoint the most credible leader
A person who's really capable of managing this land.
But the sad fact was People have been cheated by all kind of frauds
Such as foreigners being brought in to vote Phantom voters being transferred around Such events lead Johor to become contaminated The peoples become poignant and despondent I 'm not in the position to proclaim that the frauds are real But thank god we've got a lot of evidence That shows all the mentioned frauds really occurred

I realize it's extremely impolite to disrupt Your Highness
As Your Highness would have to manage other officials
But on this piece of fortunate land
Nothing is more powerful to overcome the sovereignty of Your Highness
All the authority gained throughout every district in this land
are courtesy and compassion from Your Highness
Therefore, Your Highness is the true Supreme of all
Your Highness!

I have no political background
Neither being favorable to any parties
This is to show my love towards my beloved Johor
and to fight against injustice
that contaminate the sanctity of the Johor colony
This has defiled the reputation and perfectness of Temenggong Dynasty
founded by Raja Temenggong Tun Ibrahim
The people are hoping for Your Highness's stern intervene
for the glories and sovereignty of Temenggong Dynasty

Let the justice soar as mighty and as powerful
as the symbol of this wonderful land, the Great Tiger
Your Highness!
I plead for the help from the great Majesty, Your Highness
Long live the King!
