Diary, April 15th. I worked the evening shift at the restaurant today, and I was shocked by the amount of food that gets thrown away. We have a policy (15) ____ customers can't take home leftovers from the buffet. I understand the reasons – food safety and all that – but seeing perfectly good dishes go into the bin feels so wrong. It’s not just the customers’ plates. In the kitchen, any food that isn't used by the end of the night is also discarded. I asked my manager if we could donate it, but he said the regulations are too (16) ____. He mentioned that the restaurant is trying to reduce waste by better (17) ____ portion sizes and planning menus more carefully. (18) ____, it seems like a slow process. I wish there was a more effective solution. Maybe technology could help, like apps that connect restaurants with surplus food to people in (19) ____. I feel motivated to research this more.

In a recent interview, environmental health expert Dr. Tran Minh Anh discussed the growing problem of noise pollution in our cities. 'People often underestimate the impact of constant noise,' she explained. 'We think of pollution as something we can see, like smog or plastic waste. But noise is an invisible threat.' According to Dr. Anh, prolonged exposure to high levels of noise, such as from traffic and construction, doesn't just damage our hearing. It can also lead to increased stress, high blood pressure, and sleep disturbances, which in turn affect our overall health and productivity. She pointed out that while industrial zones are major sources, residential areas are not immune. 'Even noise from neighbours or entertainment venues can be a significant problem,' she said. Dr. Anh suggested several solutions, including better urban planning to separate residential and industrial areas, stricter regulations on noise levels from vehicles and machinery, and the promotion of 'quiet zones' like parks. 'It's a quality of life issue that we need to address seriously,' she concluded.

I also feel a sense of professional isolation. It’s harder to learn from senior colleagues when you can't just turn your chair around and ask a quick question. Observing how they handle a difficult phone call or present in a meeting is a huge part of learning, and that experience is diminished online. They say we'll have 'collaboration days' in the office, but I wonder if that will be enough to foster a strong team culture and provide the informal mentorship that is so valuable early in one's career. It seems this new independence comes with a hidden cost.
