🎯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.

全球百大院校—荷蘭有七間
話說最新嘅2022《泰晤士高等教育》世界排名中,全球「百大」院校入邊,荷蘭就有7間。
7間係咩概念呢,首先荷蘭係有一共13間「研究型大學*」,當中7間係全球「百大」,換句話說,荷蘭有超過一半嘅研究型大學都係非常高質素!
除此之外,筆者特登望吓其他國家有幾多間「百大」。美國一如以往壟斷排名,一共有38間「百大」,不過香港人熱門留學地點入面,英國有11間、澳洲有6間、加拿大有5間。相比之下,荷蘭一個人口只有1700萬人嘅西歐「小國」,居然有7間「百大」,其實都幾厲害。
今日就同大家講一講,呢七間荷蘭大學到底係咩來頭。

昔日的香港作為國際金融中心,擁有的原有教科書樣板優勢,例如法治、自由、人權、透明度、common sense,乃至同理心等,都會不再存在,香港在一系列的國際評級,也只會拾級而下。但我們同時必須承認,香港建制派雖然以「忠誠的廢物」之名享譽北京權貴,北京卻不乏擅長宏觀大戰略的推手,雖然那種價值觀我們不認同,卻不等於沒有「中國那一套」方案。時至今日,方案似乎愈見清晰,北京信心滿滿的認為「新香港」可以建立另一批優勢:是的,不透明、「依法治國」也有另一種優勢,自然就是方便「洗錢」、方便裙帶資本主義、方便集資、方便中國在不影響內地金融穩定的前提下盡攬美元。所以對最一小撮人的真正權貴階層,香港依然能做(僅限他們利益所及的)「國際金融中心」,只是這樣的「中心」,完全和一般人無關而已。那「新香港」在未來的國際金融大戰,下場會怎樣?
