Are you often busy?
Yes, I'm often busy because I'm a university student, and a student's life can be quite hectic. With all the classes to attend, assignments to finish before deadlines, events to participate in, and exams to prepare for, it sometimes feels overwhelming. Balancing all these responsibilities requires good time management, and even then, it's challenging to stay on top of everything. Despite the busyness, I find that staying organized and prioritizing tasks help me manage my time better and stay focused on my goals.

What are the advantages and disadvantages when people keep busy?
On the positive side, having things to do can keep the mind active and engaged, providing a sense of purpose and accomplishment. However, the downsides are that constant busyness might lead to one ignoring one's health, causing anxiety, stress, and insomnia and the like. Additionally, always being busy means less time spent with family and friends, which can strain relationships. It's crucial to find a balance to avoid burnout and maintain overall well-being while staying productive and fulfilled. Balancing work and personal life are essential for long-term success and happiness, I think.

Do you think children should learn through playing games or being under pressure?
It really depends on the individual child, but generally, I believe that learning through playing games is more beneficial for children. Games make learning fun and engaging, which can enhance their motivation and interest. When children are happy and enjoying themselves, they are more likely to absorb and retain information. On the other hand, learning under pressure can be stressful and may negatively affect a child's mental health and attitude towards learning. Therefore, I think a playful and supportive learning environment is usually more effective for young learners.

- enhance: 增强
- negatively affect: 负面影响
- mental health: 心理健康
- supportive learning environment: 支持性的学习环境
What kind of pressure do people experience at work?
People can experience various types of pressure at work. One common type is the pressure to meet their KPI, or Key Performance Indicators, which can be stressful as they strive to achieve specific targets. Time pressure is another significant factor as deadlines can create a sense of urgency and stress. Additionally, mental pressure due to interpersonal relations among coworkers can be challenging. Navigating office politics and maintaining good relationships with colleagues requires emotional intelligence and this can also add to the overall stress of the job.
