Part 1

Being busy

1. Are you busier now than when you were a child?

答案:

Absolutely, I would say I'm much busier now than I was as a child. Back then, my days were filled with playtime and school, but now I juggle work, responsibilities, and personal projects. For instance, I often find myself working late hours or managing various tasks on weekends. It’s a fast-paced life, but I enjoy the challenges it brings.
