1.I think I prefer quick.I really don't like to spend more time on transportation so I always choose the high-speed railway to retun home in Nanjing for about half an hour.For some movies,I'd like to watch the series of short videos titled "Watch a movie in Ten Minutes" on APP instead of enjoying it for totally two or three hours.
2.I think I can adapt to the quick-fix society .I would feel anxious when I was late for school and when I couldn't finish my math homework in high school.Because we will be punished by the teacher for being late.For math homework,it's really difficult for me.

I prefer a slow life. I enjoy strolling around theschool, looking at the black swans and the little cats there, and taking pictures and with my favorite 2D characters among the flowers and plants.I think I can't fully adapt to the quick-fix society.But I don't feel anxious,I like doing whatever I wants.So whether it is a fast life or a slow life, I like both.

1. It depends. When I need to collect files from students, I want them to hand in immediately without mistakes. When I need a break from anxiety as well as fatigue caused by study or routine, slowness is what I desire.
2. I probably can, holding the view that there is always someone ahead of me and I just keep my own pace forward. No matter slowly or quickly, I am always making progress.

1. I prefer to be quicker. For instance, when I'm doing my homework, I always want to finish it quickly and am eager to get the result.

1.I prefer a slow - paced life. Because in a slow - paced life, I can savor every moment carefully. For example, I can experience the texture of a dish or take a whiff of the fresh morning air. When reading, I can also immerse myself in the story whole - heartedly and see things from the protagonist's perspective. Another example is that when I'm taking a walk, I can listen to the birds singing, feel the breeze blowing on my cheeks, and fully enjoy the beauty of nature. All in all, I think a slow - paced life relaxes my mind and stops me from being pushed around by complicated tasks.
2.I don't think I can adapt well to a fast - paced society. Because rapid development will inevitably increase people's stress. I'm worried that I might fall behind. In terms of study, I'm afraid I can't keep up with my classmates. When it comes to career choices, I'm anxious about my future. In a society that only values results and efficiency, I also feel some inexplicable nervousness and anxiety. All these will affect my physical and mental health.

1.I prefer a balance between being slow and quick.In a slow life, I can wake up naturally in the morning, I'd take my time to cultivate flowers, watching them bloom day by day.

Under the fast-paced lifestyle, I feel that people are like working machines, handling everything very quickly, including their own emotions. I do not like it.

1. I prefer a slow-paced life. Since high school, I have been overwhelmed by my studies, and I would feel anxious whenever I stayed in school or in places that were depressing.

1、I prefer to be slow.For example, a trip that my friend and I had been planning for a few months ago was finally possible, but the trip went by very quickly, and it felt like the good day had passed quietly, which made me feel that it would be nice if the good things could pass more slowly, so that I could enjoy the good things more.
2、I don't think I'm going to be able to adapt to such a fast-paced life, but I can only do my best, even if it's not what I want. In this kind of chase, I feel troubled, as if everyone is being pushed forward by the fast pace of life, day after day, but there is nothing to be done. I feel anxious because I feel like I can't do it well, like that trip, you will reach the end of the journey, but some people's journey will be more tortuous and full of thorns.

1，I prefer a slow pace. When there is no urgent matter, I would rather walk slowly so that I can enjoy the scenery along the road. When I go traveling, I don't make a very detailed and comprehensive travel plan. Instead, I prefer to explore as I go and stop to appreciate the places slowly. I don't like the so-called "special forces-style travel" because it not only consumes a great deal of physical strength but also doesn't allow me to savor the unique charm of the scenic spots at a leisurely pace.
2，I think I can't adapt well to the fast-paced life. A fast-paced life may increase my stress and make me flustered when doing anything.

1. I prefer to take things slow. In social interactions, I’m outgoing, but I’m also someone who warms up slowly. I believe that building relationships step by step helps us make better friends. When it comes to tasks, I like to think everything through carefully before starting. This helps avoid mistakes and ensures quality. Also, based on my life experience, I enjoy cooking, especially making soups. For this, I need to slow down. If I just wait for the water to boil and serve the soup, the ingredients might not be fully cooked. So, it’s better to simmer slowly over low heat.
2. I don’t adapt well to a fast-paced society. For someone like me who enjoys a slow life, it feels like a punishment. If everyone around me is chasing speed, it creates an invisible competition, which puts me in a passive position. It makes me feel a lot of pressure.

I prefer to be slow. For example, every time I walk on campus, I want to take a lot of photos to record my life, such as the cats, dogs, or birds sleeping, running, or jumping by the roadside.
I think I can’t adapt to the quick-fix society. I feel anxious. I like to live at a slow pace, but every time I have to be quick to finish something in order to gain another slow moment. And the cycle continues endlessly. This situation makes me feel anxious, so I think I can’t adapt to the quick-fix society.

I prefer a slower pace of life, for example, when I return to my hometown during the holidays, I can go an entire day without being urged by tasks, chatting with elders while enjoying snacks. I can adapt to a fast-paced life, but I wouldn't do it voluntarily unless under pressure, like now where I have to attend classes every day, and once class is over, the day is almost over.
-
1.Certainly,I will be slow.Just like when I'm eating with my roommates,I will always be the slowest.When I'm walking or doing my homeworks,I also have more patience to do.Rather than very hurry.
2.I think although I don't like the quick-fix society, I have to adapt to it.Everyone will be anxious and nervous at first,but only in this way can we have a better life and obtain more of what we want.
-
1.Slow. Because the fast-paced life makes me feel that I'm being pushed by life rather than being in control of my own life. I can't accurately judge whether what I'm doing is meaningful. A slow-paced life can help me pay attention to the details in life, which is helpful for me to get rid of my careless problem.
2.I think I will not be adapted. I will definitely feel anxious because I cannot keep up with this pace of life.

- I prefer a slow-paced life. For instance, during breaks, I would sit by the lake, listen to the chirping of birds, and enjoy the sunset and afterglow. During holidays, I like to get close to nature and yearn for a peaceful environment and a slow-paced lifestyle. This kind of slow-paced life enables me to better feel the beauty in life.
- I'm a bit unable to adapt to this fast-paced society. In this fast-paced way, I feel depressed and anxious about what's about to happen. I hope to have some free time to seriously experience life.
