Fashion is a popular aesthetic expression at a particular time,
especially in clothing, footwear, makeup, hairstyles, lifestyle, and body
proportions. Fashion is something we deal with every day. It is used for
self-expression. If we observe carefully, we will notice that fashion
trends have evolved a lot over time. Fashion trends affect society
greatly. In my opinion, I agree that fashion is fast becoming the new
craze for today's youth. This is because youths want to express
themselves through fashion, they want to be accepted by society, and
fashion can lead to job creation. [INTRODUCTION]
Last but not least, it is an undeniable fact that fashion leads to job
creation, as fashion is becoming a new craze for today's youth. A career
in fashion is a glamorous idea. The fashion industry is diverse and has
different roles. For example, being a garment technologist is an
innovative job that involves working on the design and development of
new materials for garments. Fashion designers and fashion stylists are
also in high demand due to the popularity of the latest fashion trends.
The increasing demand for the latest fashions like clothing, footwear,
accessories, and makeup has resulted in the fashion industry's
expansion, which creates a wide range of job opportunities. For
instance, the soaring demand for makeup products like L'Oréal Paris and
Maybelline New York has created more job opportunities in the
cosmetic industry. In addition, youths’ increasing spending on fashion
clothing has boosted online clothing sales. E-commerce platforms like
Shopee, Lazada, and Amazon offer opportunities for online retailers to
sell their clothes online. This has created a lot of online jobs for online
retailers and entrepreneurs. The creation of jobs can reduce a country’s
unemployment rate and increase its Gross Domestic Product (GDP),
which is beneficial for economic growth. Hence, as fashion is fast
becoming a new craze among today’s youth, it can create lots of jobs,
which is important for a country’s development.

ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY
You attended a talk by a youth speaker talking about international
sporting events. The following comment was made by the guest
speaker:
Model Answer
The word ‘sport’ itself is magical enough to thrill people, especially
those who love sports in their own way. Generally, sports promote the
idea of physical and mental well-being. The globalisation of sports has
led to the introduction of international sporting events. International
sports refer to sports in which participants represent at least two or
more countries. I agree with the statement that international sporting
events such as the Olympic Games and the World Cup provide an outlet
for patriotic sentiments and contribute to the reduction of international
tensions. This is because international sporting events provide a
platform to express patriotic emotions, develop understanding among
nations and promote world peace. [INTRODUCTION]
Last but not least, international sporting events can help promote
world peace. It is an undeniable fact that global sports can be an
icebreaker as competitors from different nations create a platform for
athletes, global leaders, and organisations to interact in a more
sophisticated way. For example, a good illustration is the Olympic
Games, in which the whole world gets the opportunity to interact and
maintain global harmony. Sportsmen and sportswomen from developed
nations can compete with world-class sportsmen and sportswomen from
third-world countries. It can be seen that during international
tournaments, athletes from various nations compete against each other
in a sporty way. For instance, the World Cup has been proven to be a
catalyst for change as it brings people of different nationalities together.
These international games open new avenues in the world that bestow
boons on different foe nations. This is because during international play,
the presidents of different countries go to the host country to watch the
games, which provides opportunities to discuss issues between the
enemy countries. To illustrate, during the FIFA World Cup, many nations’
leaders get to meet each other, which enables them to ease the tensions
among nations and helps prevent war and bloodshed. The world is
already in turmoil with discrimination, political instability, and sporting
events can act as a remedy by promoting international harmony. Hence,
international sporting events can lead the world to live in peace.

PROBLEM-SOLUTION ESSAY
You attended a talk by a non-governmental agency, which was
organised by the local town council. The following comment was made
by the speaker:
Model Answer
Health is very important to ensure a normal and happy life. As the
saying goes, ‘health is better than wealth’. Although we may have a lot
of wealth, we will not be able to enjoy it without a healthy body.
Recently, people have become more aware of topics related to public
health. The increasing number of people suffering from obesity and
diabetes has become a major concern in developing countries like
Malaysia. Obesity and being overweight lead to other health problems,
including coronary disease, diabetes, cancer, or even mental illness. The
ways to improve public health are through the education and the media,
which raise public awareness. [INTRODUCTION]
First and foremost, millions of people pass away before they really
should due to health issues caused by changing lifestyles. Work patterns
have changed dramatically in modern times, so there has been a massive
shift from physical work, like agriculture and manufacturing to more
office work, which involves sitting at a computer for long periods of time.
Also, another problem is changing diets. For example, far too many
people today are eating too much fast food, such as pizzas, burgers and
french fries. In addition, life threatening diseases like cancer, diabetes
and stroke will probably increase in the future because of changing
leisure activities. In fact, most young people play computer games
excessively, which can lead to obesity. So, all in all, public health issues
can, may result in serious outcomes if they are not addressed
accordingly. Education and the media must play a role and act swiftly to
save many people’s lives in this world.

Apart from that, the media plays an important role in raising public
awareness about public health. The advent of the digital era and the
ubiquitous internet enabled the media to spread information easily.
People can use digital devices like mobile phones to assess various types
of information through digital media, such as online newspapers. The
media should be more concerned about public health by spreading
information about it as the media has become a main channel of
information for people. The media has a big influence on shaping
people’s positive attitudes towards public health. The media can
broadcast suitable programmes about health in order to raise public
awareness. For example, the media should launch health promotion
campaigns through television, newspapers, and radio. A health
promotion campaign should cover a variety of topics, such as a balanced
diet and exercise. Besides, articles on health should be published in
newspapers or health magazines so that readers can gain knowledge
about health. For instance, through newspapers, people can read
articles on the importance of having adequate sleep. This will raise
people’s awareness of the consequences of sleep deprivation, which
makes them more susceptible to cardiovascular disease. Newspaper
articles on the effects of sedentary lifestyles can also raise public
awareness so that people will realise that physical inactivity is a silent
killer. Additionally, television can be an effective channel to spread
information on health. To illustrate, since people like to watch TV shows,
health and lifestyle TV shows can raise public awareness about ways to
live a healthy life. People will be more likely to adopt a healthy lifestyle,
such as reducing their intake of fast food, as they gain knowledge
through watching related TV shows. Thus, the media has a great
influence on raising public awareness in terms of public health.
