A
Consumption Downgrading
Consumption (消费) downgrading refers to the trend (趋势) where people choose more affordable products and services due to economic pressures or a desire for simplicity. This change can lead to a more mindful shopping choices, where quality and proper prices are considered more than brand (品牌) names and luxury (奢华). For example, people prefer having a cup of coffee from ordinary brands. It reflects a social move toward valuing experiences and personal growth rather than material wealth.

Post-holiday Syndrome (综合症)
After a long holiday, many people suffer from post-holiday syndrome. They feel tired and have difficulty concentrating on work or study. During the holiday, people may stay up late, overeat and change their regular schedules, which leads to the disorder of their biological clocks. When it comes to going back to normal life, they struggle to adjust. To deal with post-holiday syndrome, we should restore a regular routine gradually, get enough sleep, eat healthily and do some exercise. In this way, we can quickly shake off the effects of post-holiday syndrome and hug a productive life again.

Mobile phones are useful in our lives, but they can also be a source of addiction (瘾). We check our phones constantly (频繁地), even when we don't really need to. Some people are glued to their screens, scrolling (滚动) through short videos, without even realizing how much time has passed. Moreover, a lot of people like to use their phones right before going to bed, and the blue light from the screens disturbs their sleep patterns. This leads to not getting enough sleep, which makes them feel tired and less productive the next day. Anyway, it's necessary to limit our phone usage and use them wisely.
