1) You read the title of a science article stating : ‘ Drinking red wine

come to about this article.
answer:
According to the article ,drinking wine can active more grey matter in
the brain than listening to music and solding maths equations. I find
this opinion controversial.Foremost,wine and intelligence are
correlated.Most people who drink wine have their IQ raised does not
apply to everybody but is achieved by only a few of them.The result
affected by other factors can not be causation.I certainly belive that
drinking wine many improve people’s physical and mental heath,but
only moderation.You must learn and work to grow your
knowledge,instead of drinking wine so much.Eforts matter most.

What strategies and/or methods would you use to influence or
nudge people to save more money for the future?
Strategies used:
Raise public awareness,particular among young people,about the
sigificance of saving money for retirement.People only start to fear
something when it happens to them.Show the young some of the
videos,television,stories,etc about homless people,hospitall bills,and
food prices.Only by seeing the consequences do they gain awareness
avvout saving for retirement.
Banks and goverments must work together to enact policies that allow
people to benefit from saving .As it happens, people will tend save
more money. This may form a saving habit, though it is quite
unrealistic.
The most typical method is to change tax rates. The link between
income, consumption, and savings is easy to understand in this basic
model. If one’s income rises, so will own’s spending and savings.
