I enjoy many aspects of city life, especially the convenience and variety it offers. The availability of amenities like restaurants, shopping centers, and entertainment makes everyday life exciting. Public transportation is also a huge advantage, making it easy to get around. However, the constant noise and crowded streets can be overwhelming at times. The fast-paced lifestyle can lead to stress, and the lack of green spaces sometimes makes me long for a quieter, more peaceful environment. Overall, while I appreciate the energy of the city, I also crave moments of calm and solitude.

2. One of my favorite experiences was when I received positive feedback on a class presentation. It feels so rewarding after all the hard work I've put in. However, I also had the bad experience of getting a low score in an exam. It was disappointing but it taught me the importance of studying, working harder, and learning from my mistakes.

3. - In the past, traveling was more time-consuming and limited, with fewer transportation options and longer journeys. People rely on printed maps and guidebooks to navigate. Education was mostly traditional, with fewer technological tools, and communication was slower, relying on letters, landline phones, or face-to-face interactions.

- Today, travel has become much faster and more accessible, with airplanes and trains making long-distance trips easy. Digital maps and online platforms help with navigation. Education now includes online learning, virtual classrooms, and interactive tools. Communication has evolved with instant messaging, video calls, and social media, making it easier to connect with others globally, anytime.
