Speaker 3: My name is Jamal. Before shopping, I always watch reviews to make a smart choice. I don't wait for sales. If I need something, I buy it immediately. But I always compare prices before choosing a product. Speaker 4: My name is Emma. I like shopping with my friends in big malls— it's fun and helpful! For me, sales are a waste of time, you cannot find necessary things on sales. I never wait for them. I don't trust special offers. They make people buy things they don't need. Track 16 Interviewer: Today we're talking to Clara Morris. She's 17 and volunteers for a global charity that uses technology to make donating easier and more interesting for people. Welcome, Clara! Clara: Hi! Thank you. I'm happy to be here. Interviewer: Can you tell us how these donation boards work? Clara: Sure! It's very simple. You just swipe your credit card or your phone if you have a payment app on the board, and something happens on the screen immediately. It is not like a payment in the supermarket when you hear a sound and see the amount on the screen. Here you see how your money is helping to buy food for someone. For example, the board shows a loaf of bread. When you donate, the bread gets sliced. In a different example the board shows a classroom with empty desks. When someone donates, the desks start to fill with books and school supplies. It shows that your donation is helping children get an education. Interviewer: That's very creative! Why do you think these boards are better than traditional donation boxes? Clara: They both can be found in busy |  | places like shopping centres, airports, and stations. This helps charities to reach as many people as possible. But there is one difference. With interactive boards, people can see something happen right away. It makes them feel more connected to the cause. Even small donations can show how their actions make a difference. Interviewer: Do you think this way of donating will grow? Clara: Definitely! In the future, I think donating will be even more exciting — maybe through virtual reality, where you can explore the project you're helping, like seeing a school you supported or a forest growing from your donation. There might also be thank-you videos or apps that show how your donation is used. Making it more interactive will encourage more people to join in. When many people take part, we can make a big difference.

Seeing my progress on paper motivates me and reminds me how far I've come. It's such a simple but powerful habit. Speaker 2: Sometimes, when I feel sad, I sit on my favourite bench in the park. It's a quiet, inviting place surrounded by trees and flowers. Spending time there makes me feel calmer and more positive about everything.
