PART 1

Q1: Because of online streaming services and rising ticket prices, the movie-theater
industry in our town has reached its lowest point in nearly two decades, especially
now, during the global pandemic, as we are forbid to go to these kind of places.

Q2: I am always looking for entertainment activities for a cheap cost. However, if i
am planning to go to cinema or theatre I will be in the obligation to spend a lot of
money, as prices are very high. That’s why I prefer watching films on television or on
streaming platforms like Netflix or HBO Go.

Q3: The last movie that I watched was- The pursuit of happyness. Will Smith as
Chris Gardner was amazing. The movie brilliantly displays the hurdles that one has to
go through in order to pursue happiness in their life. It also explores the father-son
relationship, a message that at times even our parents need little motivation and co
operation from us!

PART 2

CANDIDATE A:

Picture 1: Stocks can deliver strong long-term investment returns. But people invest
for much shorter time spans, where returns are hugely unpredictable. Such high
volatility turns investing into a stomach-churning rollercoaster, and investors respond
with unhealthyly that sabotage their results. To prevent them, they should concentrate
on avoiding the onset of stress rather than on learning how to deal with it.
It is well known that people dislike losses much more acutely than they enjoy gains.
That’s a big reason why, after a big loss, they dump stocks and stay away well past
the end of the rout. A big recovery will have to take place before they feel safe
enough to return, and by then much of the upside will have already happened.

Picture 2: In the manufacturing set-up, workers become stress due to high job

demands, low job control, low social support, role ambiguity and conflict, the
physical, chemical and ergonomics of the work environment, work patterns
with work schedule and shift work, and job insecurity regarding future employment.
Many people find the feeling of not being in control of themselves stressful. This is
very true in manufacturing, where employees commonly feel a lack of control over
their purpose and skills.
Moreover,  A bad physical work environment is unpleasant. In a physically
demanding job, inhospitable environmental conditions can be uncomfortable. Also, a
workstation that is poorly designed for use can be very frustrating. This does not
relieve feelings of stress, and can even cause it.
Picture 3: While some artists seem apparently immune to the pressures of a crowd,
many of the greatest solists in history, like Maria Callas, have struggled to deal with
performing under intense expectation. Singers can grow to detest the stress involved
so much that they can retire on multiple occasions. The audience intimidates them.
They feel choked by its breath, paralysed by its curious glances. At its very worst,
this anxiety causes the heart rate to rapidly drop, resulting in the player simply
freezing or even fainting on the spot.

CANDIDATE B: I personally find political discussions stressful. I don’t know much

about politics. I’ve been fairly sheltered and don’t have all of my opinions sorted out
yet, and I could either come off as rude and not engage in the conversation or engage
in it and seem stupid. This isn’t very common in my life, but I remember it vividly
from the 2019 election.

 CANDIDATE B:

Picture 1: Storms are times when waves rise like mountains, the air is full of flying
foam spraying so much you can hardly see ahead. The boat is bouncing up and down.
The only way the sailors could stay alive is to wear their lifejackets.They are
frightened, as they are seasick. Chairs and tables are being thrown back and forth
across the room. Things are flying and breaking up. People are hanging onto anything
they can grab. People are falling and sliding around on their backs. Water is splashing
all over the decks. 

Picture 2: I think these people come from Asia.They were raised during, and have
lived through, several droughts. Conserving water is their normal. It does not take
any effort because they simply do not waste water. Their main concern is that these
areas are more at risk for wildfire during a drought.
Another effect is that the environment takes on a different look during a drought.
Hills and landscapes that would typically be green for much of the year, become
parched and brown for an extended period. Trees are dying. There is obviously more
dust when there hasn’t been any rain for months on end. Water levels of lakes and
reservoirs become shockingly low. Fires are more frequent and extensive, and the
potential danger of that is something most people take into consideration to some
extent.
They cannot plant anything, so they are very poor and don’t have anything to eat.

CANDIDATE A: I personally fear floods, as they are the most widespread natural
disaster aside from wildfires. Flooding can represent the destruction of whole lives.
Families are frequently left homeless, often without insurance or any other assistance.
Memories, in the form of family photographs and objects that carry sentimental
value, are lost and destroyed by this force of nature.
PART 2

Playing a musical instrument

 Playing an instrument isn’t only good for your brain, it’s also great for
expanding your social circle. Joining a musical group at any age encourages
you to develop relationships with new kinds of people. It also builds skills in
leadership and team-building, as well as showing you the rewards of working
with others.
 Playing an instrument relieves stress. Music keeps you calm. It has a unique
effect on our emotions, and has even been proven to lower heart rate and blood
pressure.
 Playing an instrument gives you a sense of achievement. Playing and succeeding
at a musical instrument gives you a huge sense of pride and achievement,
especially when you manage to perfect a passage you’ve been struggling with for
weeks.

Designing clothes
 Fashion Designing is an art and most of the art forms demand creativity,
attention to detail and a lot of hard work. Fashion Designing is nothing less
than a field of inventions; You would be inventing, creating new designs.
 One of the greatest advantages of being a Fashion Designer would be the
immense creative satisfaction you will get out of your creations.
 Fashion Designing as most people think is not just about designing clothes or
drawing the design of clothes on computer or a piece of paper. It is so much
more than that. It’s about designing accessories, learning how to drape,
creating colors, designing jewelries, sewing and of course designing clothes.

Growing flowers or vegetables

 Gardening works wonders for your physical health and it also helps to improve
your mental well-being. When you garden you make things grow, you create
food and you transform spaces. ... Gardening acts like therapy when I'm upset
or just need to chill out from a stressful day.
 Preparing a beautiful meal with your own homegrown vegetables gives you an
amazing sense of achievement. It tastes better, it’s good for you and most of all
it gives you an inspiring sense of accomplishment.

Playing with children

 Playing with a child involves actively observing, listening, supporting, talking,
and understanding
 Writing poetry
 The greatest reason to write poetry is because it will make all of
your writing better. ... Poetry gives you a deeper understanding of the language
and it allows you to see your writing differently. Poetry enables you to express
yourself and your ideas better.
  Writing Poetry Plays it’s part in helping me to stay grounded and takes my
focus away from Pain and things which trouble me from day to day. I should
be quite lost if it were not for my writing. 
 It helps one see subjects in terms of metaphors to reveal a scene rather than
telling the reader what’s in the scene

PART 4

1. How important is it for people to feel creative in some way?

 Being creative helps you become a better problem solver in all areas of
your life and work. ... Creativity helps you see things differently and
better deal with uncertainty. Studies show that creative people are better
able to live with uncertainty because they can adapt their thinking to
allow for the flow of the unknown. Instead of coming from a linear,
logical approach, your creative side can approach a situation from all
angles.
 Engaging in the creative process is a great confidence builder, because
you discover that failure is part of the process. Once we see failure as
something that is survivable, and something that helps us grow and that
it makes our work better, we can release the fear and try new things even
at the risk of failing.

2. Do you feel people get a similar sense of satisfaction from other activities?
 Movies allow us to feel different emotions; thrill, happiness, sadness,
intensity, comfort, shock, nervous all these roller-coaster of emotions is
one reason why we love watching movies.
  They make us connect with fictional characters we’ve never met before,
allow us to empathise with them while we watch them struggle, bounce
back and then save the day! 
 Movies are also a good way to change your current emotional state, if
you feel down just put on a happy and cheerful animated movie to
lighten your mood, or if you need a laugh just throw on an amusing
comedy movie, films always manage to cheer us up and that’s another
reason why we love them.
3. It is sometimes said that everyone has the potential to be creative in some
way. Do you agree? Why/Why not?
 Everyone can be creative, where they realize it or not. A lot of people
tend to think creativity is binary: Either you have it, or you don't. But in
reality, we do all have it. It's just a matter of how we interpret it.
 Creativity is both a skill and a process. It's something you can learn. And
like any other skill, it's something you can get better at through practice
and repeated use. Now, you might think, I don't have time to sit down
and create something every day. This is when it's important to realize the
difference between using creativity and actually creating something. In a
lot of ways, creativity is all about how you see things.
 So yes, you can use creativity to paint or write poems, but you can also
use it in practical ways like coming up with an alternate solution for a
work project or organizing things in your home.
