idea?

B: Hello B. How are you
A: I'm good. Why did you invite me here today?
B: Oh I have a few questions for the next exercise so I want to ask your opinion
A: Okay, let me see.
B: Okay. Some people say that Money has nothing to do with happiness. In your opinion, do
you agree with it?
A: Oh that's a good question. In my opinion, I agree with that. Because in my opinion, money
is a symbol of material value, so it is only possible to buy material things. Happiness is a
typical type of spiritual value. Money can only provide the factors that make it easier to create
happiness, be it for you, your family or higher than the people around you. Silver is just a
catalyst that helps us create happiness. What about you?
B: Okay, in my opinion, I don't agree with that. Money, for me, can make us happy. People
often say that money cannot buy happiness, but now in life and our economy, finance is an
urgent matter that affects. serious for the happiness of all of us. Money is not everything but
without money then you do not get what you want, money is just a means like having to spice
in life to Help us find our happiness.

A: Okay, let me see.
 B: Okay. Do you think our clothes can tell others about us?
A: Well, In my opinion, our clothes can tell others about us because how to dress will be a
message, an introduction to the person who is using it for the opposite person. And our
clothes also show our personal impression, as well as our style of clothing to other people.
And how about you? what do you think about that?
B: I disagree with that opinion because we shouldn't judge a person through their clothes.
And there are also people who are modest, less expressive of who they are through dress. So
clothes can't tell what a person's personality is like.
A: Oh, it is not a bad idea.

mud dries and contracts. Emerge from a series of three treatments a newer, smoother,
slimmer you.

because a criminals just attack you when you look weak and alone.

harassed at a stop, drive away as soon as possible. Don’t pick up hitchhiker. Also, before
driving a car, you should check the back seat of your car and make sure nobody is hiding
there. How about you?

B: it’s not a bad ways. To me , I think think Firstly, we should not carry a lot of assets in our bag,
instead of sending them to your credit or debit cards and be careful with local people.
Secondly, our personal information should be protected, for example, ID cards, passport, debit
or credit cards to avoid violent crimes or muggers

for food?

think it’s morally wrong but on the other hand animals needed in research to develop drug
to protect us and animals from diseases
A: Well, I couldn’t agree with you more. And we can’t experiment on humans right. So
how about for food by slaughtering animals? What do you think about this?
B: It’s so hard for me to answer this question. I think we should slaughtering for food
although it’s cruel to do this to them but we need to eat them to exist. However just
animals such as fish, chicken or duck
A: I see what you mean but we can eat other available food instead of slaughtering them
such as vegetables or non-animals products
B: You’re so right

sometimes they are so destructive

A: I know that. But I feel scared around them.
B: So Do you think pets bring a lot of benefits to us?
A: Well, I’m afraid I don’t agree. I think they
B: I couldn’t agree more. I think They’re good- natured with kids, it can teach
social skills for kids and kids growing up with pets are less self- centered, especially to cats.
And playing with them helps to lower blood pressure, reduce stress and make us happier

agree or disagree with this idea?
A: Good morning. Where are you off to?

any problems to us ?
B: well, I couldn’t agree more. I’m a careful shopper. Because I don’t really
have a lot money to spend so I just things I need and sometimes I bargain hunt
so I can buy something cheaply for less than their usual price. What about you?
A: Actually, I often buy things on impluse. I’m realy into shoppping for clothes
and shoes. When I go shopping. I can’t resist the temptation to buy something. I
just can’t come home empty-handed. So I think someday I may drown in debt
but I always lose control when shopping, what should I do?
B: Firstly, when you shop, Always try to be aware of your motivations. Don’t
go shopping when you’re angry or upset. Secondly, focuse on things you really
need and want ok?

11. Discuss advertising techniques to persuade people to buy a

product

B: Hello. how are you these days
 A: I’m not good. I am struggling with a series of presentation questions about
the impact of advertising
A: Oh advertisement?. Pretty good subject
B: That's true but there are some questions that are a bit difficult for me
A: is there anything I can help you with?
B: Alright So, according to my partner, does the current advertising method
help businesses or companies sell more products?
A: oh. That is a good question. In my opinion, yes. Businesses today are very
active in advertising their products because thanks to advertising, their products
are promoted more widely and their advertising almost always creates their
products. should be more interesting and attractive. Thanks to advertising,
consumers can have a broader and more sympathetic view of the item. Also, the
aesthetics of an ad will help businesses sell more products, more consumers
often buy the products that they like when they see the ad even if they don't
need it.
B: Alright But some people think that advertising is sometimes not the same as
the real product? What do you think about this?
A: In my opinion, this problem really does not exist but today I think it is very
few. Most products when advertising a bit nicer but still have to remain the
same as the actual product. Because if consumers feel they are cheated when
buying products on advertising, this will be a disaster for that company. This is
a moral issue in business.
B: Okay, thanks for your help
A: No problem. I'm glad those things helped you

agree or disagree with this opinion?
A: A: What do you think parents should let their children have or do anything they want?
B: Well, I hate to say it but there's not much they can do.
A: Why's that?
B: Well, Teenagers want their parents to let them have or do whatever they want, but not all they
want is what they need or what they should do.
A: I suppose. But teenagers do not always want to have or do unnecessary things or should not do.
B: Maybe... I think you right but in my opinion. parents should make rules for teen behavior so
teens learn right from wrong.
A: I don't completely agree with your ideas. Because teens need to learn by making their own
mistakes.
B: But I think if parents do not observe or control what teens do, they may be in danger. For
example, on the internet. there are many things that are not good for teens, such as some violent
films, or some videos that are not suitable for their age.
 A: I suppose. But teenagers have the right to privacy, and the parents ought to respect it. What
teens do on the Internet should be off-limits to parents.

14. Do mobile devices save us time or waste more of our time?

Some people on their phone texting, chatting and surfing facebook while
working and it make them distract in working
