The streets of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are bustling with delivery drivers in their familiar uniforms. Apps like GrabFood and ShopeeFood have become a normal part of daily life, offering a world of culinary options with just a few taps on a smartphone. This revolution in dining brings incredible ease to our lives, but it also raises important questions about its impact on our health, habits, and budgets.

The primary appeal of these services is how convenient they are. Instead of spending time traveling to a restaurant, a student can have their favorite Banh Mi or bubble tea delivered directly to their doorstep. This saves valuable time that can be used for studying or hobbies. Furthermore, the apps provide access to a vast range of cuisines that might not be available in one's immediate neighborhood, broadening culinary horizons.

However, this ease of access has a downside. With so many options available 24/7, there is a growing tendency for people, particularly teenagers, to choose less healthy, processed foods over home-cooked meals. Frequent ordering can also become a significant financial burden, as delivery fees and restaurant prices add up quickly. It's easy to lose track of spending when payment is just a click away.

Perhaps the most subtle change is the reduction in physical activity. The short walk to a local pho stall, once a small but regular part of the day, is often replaced by waiting for a delivery. This sedentary behavior, combined with potentially unhealthier food choices, can negatively affect long-term well-being. Therefore, while food delivery apps are a modern tool, mindful usage is key to ensuring they enhance, rather than harm, our lifestyles.

Students might find it hard to get noticed by senior staff, (38) __________. To overcome this, interns must be proactive. This means (39) __________. Furthermore, they should schedule one-on-one video calls with team members, (40) __________. While virtual internships offer flexibility, success in networking requires a deliberate and strategic effort.
