Making a great first impression counts. People judge us by what we say, how we say it, and even by the way we write.

本港疫情持續嚴峻，早前有專家呼籲應考慮採取「禁足令」，限制市民外出。不論最後的決定如何，大家都應該盡量留在家中，減低傳播風險。事實上，政府各部門和不少私人企業已經陸續重啟work from home機制，安排員工在家工作；同學們亦因疫情影響而提前放暑假。 換句話說，宅在家的抗疫生活又開始了。有些人為這種漫長乏味的居家生活感到無聊。然而你有否想過，到底無聊是什麼？
