maintaining a healthy balance in my personal and professional life.

important to prioritize self-care and make time for activities that bring joy and
relaxation, even if it's just a few hours a week.
PART 2
The period in history that interests me the most is the Renaissance, which spanned
from the 14th to the 17th century. I first learned about the Renaissance in my high
school history class, where we studied the art, literature, and scientific
advancements of the time.
What makes the Renaissance so fascinating to me is the explosion of creativity and
innovation that occurred during this period. It was a time of great change and
upheaval, as Europe emerged from the Middle Ages and entered a new era of
discovery and exploration.
Imagine, if you will, that you are a young artist living in Florence during the height of
the Renaissance. You are surrounded by some of the greatest minds of your time,
including Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael.
You spend your days studying the works of these masters, honing your craft, and
dreaming of making your mark on the world. You experiment with new techniques
and styles, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in art.
As you walk through the streets of Florence, you are constantly inspired by the
beauty and elegance of the city. From the grandeur of the Duomo to the intricate
details of the Ponte Vecchio, every corner of the city seems to be a work of art.
But it's not just art that is flourishing during this time. Science, philosophy, and
literature are also making great strides. You attend lectures by Galileo and read the
works of Dante and Petrarch, expanding your mind and your understanding of the
world.
As the years pass, you continue to grow and evolve as an artist. You create
masterpieces that will be admired for centuries to come, and you become part of a
legacy of creativity and innovation that will shape the course of history.
Looking back on this period, it's clear that the Renaissance was a time of great
transformation and progress. It was a time when the human spirit soared and the
limits of what was possible were pushed to new heights. And it's a time that
continues to inspire and captivate me to this day.
Finally, after several hours of hiking, we reached the summit. The view from
the top was breathtaking, with miles of rolling hills and dense forests
stretching out before us. We sat down on a nearby rock, exhausted but
exhilarated, and took in the beauty of the landscape.
As we began our descent, we realized that we had lost track of time and that it
was getting late. We quickened our pace, eager to get back to the trailhead
before dark.
Despite the long hike and the late hour, we all agreed that it had been an
incredible experience. We had pushed ourselves to our limits and come out
the other side stronger and more connected to each other.
Looking back on that day, I realize that it was not just the stunning scenery or
the physical challenge that made it so special. It was the camaraderie and
sense of shared accomplishment that we felt as a group. It's a memory that I
will cherish for years to come.
It turned out that the host was a chef who specialized in fusion cuisine, and he
had planned an elaborate menu that combined flavors from all over the world.
We started with an amuse-bouche of roasted pork belly with a spicy Korean
sauce, followed by a Thai-inspired salad with a tangy lime dressing.
For the main course, we had a Moroccan tagine with tender lamb, apricots,
and almonds, served over a bed of fluffy couscous. The dish was fragrant and
flavorful, with a perfect balance of sweet and savory.
To drink, we had a selection of wines from around the world, including a spicy
Shiraz from Australia and a crisp Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. We also
had a variety of teas and coffee to choose from, along with a dessert of Turkish
delight and French macarons.
Throughout the meal, we talked about our travels, our favorite restaurants,
and our experiences with different cuisines. It was a truly unique and
memorable experience, and it opened my eyes to the incredible variety of
flavors and cultures that exist in the world.
What made the meal so special was not just the food itself, but the sense of
adventure and exploration that came with it. It was a reminder that food can
be a powerful way to connect with others and to experience new things.
For those who may not be familiar with it, Reddit is a social media platform
that is organized around various "subreddits," which are essentially forums
dedicated to specific topics, ranging from politics and news to hobbies and
interests. Users can submit posts, comment on other users' posts, and vote on
content, which helps to determine its visibility and popularity.
What I love about Reddit is the incredible diversity of content and opinions
that you can find on the site. Whether I'm looking for news and information,
discussions about my favorite TV shows, or advice on a particular topic, I can
always find a subreddit that caters to my interests.
I visit Reddit several times a day, and I find that it's a great way to stay
informed and engaged with the world around me. I also appreciate the sense
of community that exists on the site, as I can interact with other users who
share my interests and passions.
The first time I tried to use a 3D printer, I was overwhelmed by the number of
settings and options that I had to navigate. From adjusting the temperature
and speed of the printer to choosing the right filament and calibration, there
were so many factors to consider that I felt like I was in over my head.
Even after spending hours researching and studying tutorials online, I still
struggled to get consistent and reliable results from the printer. I found that
even minor adjustments could have a big impact on the final product, and it
was frustrating to spend hours printing something only to have it come out
warped or misshapen.
While I appreciate the potential of 3D printing and the incredible things that
people have been able to create with it, I have to admit that it's not a
technology that comes easily to me. Part of the challenge, I think, is that 3D
printing requires a combination of technical know-how and creative skill,
which can be a difficult balance to strike.
Sure, I can help you describe a city that I'd like to stay in for a short time.
One city that I've always been fascinated by is Tokyo, Japan. As a lover of
technology, culture, and food, I think that Tokyo would be an incredible place
to visit and explore.
For starters, Tokyo is one of the most technologically advanced cities in the
world, with a thriving tech industry and a culture of innovation and
experimentation. From high-speed trains and cutting-edge robotics to
futuristic architecture and design, Tokyo is a hub of technological progress and
creativity.
But Tokyo is also a city with a rich and vibrant culture, and there is so much to
explore and discover there. From the traditional art of calligraphy and flower
arranging to the modern pop culture of anime and manga, Tokyo offers a
fascinating blend of old and new, tradition and innovation.
One thing that I would love to do if I visited Tokyo would be to sample the local
cuisine. Tokyo is known for its incredible street food, from savory ramen
noodles and sushi to sweet mochi and taiyaki. I would love to wander through
the bustling markets and try all of the different flavors and dishes.
While I would love to spend an extended period of time in Tokyo, I think that a
short visit would be perfect for getting a glimpse into the city's unique blend of
technology, culture, and cuisine. It's a city that I've always been fascinated by,
and I hope to have the chance to visit someday soon.
We started with the basics, such as how to turn the phone on and off, how to
make a call, and how to send a text message. We also covered more advanced
topics, such as how to download apps, take photos, and use the internet.
Overall, I would encourage anyone who has the opportunity to teach a friend
or relative to do so. It can be a challenging but rewarding experience that can
help to strengthen relationships and improve lives.
8. Meeting you missed or were late for
YOU SHOULD SAY
-what the appointment was
-when and where it was
-why you forgot about it
-how you felt
The meeting that I missed was a job interview that I had scheduled. It was a
highly anticipated opportunity, and I had been preparing for it for weeks. The
interview was scheduled for 10:00 am at the company's headquarters, which
was located in a different part of the city from where I lived.
I had planned out my route and left with plenty of time to spare, but as I got
closer to my destination, I got stuck in unexpected traffic. I watched the
minutes tick by on my dashboard clock, feeling increasingly anxious and
frustrated. By the time I arrived, I was already 15 minutes late and flustered.
I rushed into the building, hoping that I could still salvage the situation, but it
was too late. The interviewer had already left, and I was told that I would need
to reschedule. I felt like I had made a poor first impression and that it might
affect my chances of getting the job.
In hindsight, I realized that I hadn't left enough time for unexpected delays or
traffic. I had also failed to account for potential road closures or detours. It was
a valuable lesson for me, as I learned the importance of planning ahead and
allowing more time for unexpected delays.
I felt frustrated and disappointed that I had missed the interview, but I also
recognized that it was a learning experience. It reminded me that mistakes
happen, and that what's important is how we respond to them. I took it as an
opportunity to reflect on my time management skills and to make changes for
future appointments.
One place that I visited recently that was greatly affected by air pollution was
New Delhi, India. As one of the most populous cities in the world, New Delhi
has long struggled with issues of air pollution, particularly during the winter
months.
During my visit, I was struck by the hazy and smoggy atmosphere that
permeated the city. Everywhere I went, I saw people wearing masks or scarves
over their faces to protect themselves from the poor air quality.
One of the main sources of air pollution in New Delhi is vehicular traffic, and
the city's congested streets are often clogged with cars, buses, and
motorcycles. In addition, industrial emissions, construction activities, and
agricultural burning all contribute to the problem.
The effects of air pollution in New Delhi are not just visible in the gray skies
and smoggy air. Studies have shown that air pollution in the city is responsible
for a range of health problems, including respiratory issues, heart disease, and
cancer.
Despite these challenges, there are efforts underway to address the issue of air
pollution in New Delhi. The government has implemented a number of
measures, such as promoting the use of public transportation, limiting
industrial emissions, and encouraging the use of clean energy sources.
However, much more needs to be done to address the root causes of air
pollution in New Delhi and to improve the health and well-being of its
residents. It's a complex and multifaceted problem, and it will require the
cooperation and collaboration of government, industry, and individuals alike to
find a solution.
One recent development in my city that I'm particularly excited about is the
construction of a new park in the downtown area. For years, the downtown
area has been dominated by office buildings, retail stores, and other
commercial spaces, with few opportunities for green space or outdoor
recreation.
The new park, which is set to open later this year, will be a much-needed
addition to the downtown area and will provide a range of amenities and
activities for residents and visitors alike. The park will feature walking and
biking trails, playgrounds, picnic areas, and a variety of sports fields and courts.
What I love about this development is that it represents a shift in priorities for
our city, away from the relentless pursuit of economic growth and towards an
investment in the quality of life for our citizens. By providing a space for people
to gather, play, and relax, the park will help to build a sense of community and
connection in the heart of the city.
In addition to the recreational opportunities, the park will also have a positive
impact on the environment, providing a much-needed respite from the
concrete and asphalt of the downtown area. With trees, grassy fields, and
other natural features, the park will help to mitigate the effects of urban heat
islands and provide habitat for wildlife.
Of course, there are also challenges associated with this development, such as
the need to balance the demands of different user groups and to ensure that
the park is accessible and inclusive for everyone. However, I believe that the
benefits of this new park far outweigh the challenges, and I can't wait to see it
come to life in the heart of our city.
I would like to talk about an interesting old person who I have had the pleasure
of getting to know. This person is my grandfather, whom I have known for my
entire life.
One of the things that I find most interesting about my grandfather is his love
for travel. He has been to many different countries and has had some amazing
experiences. He always tells me that the best way to learn about a country and
its people is to travel there and experience it for yourself.
12. Describe something that you did which made you feel proud
YOU SHOULD SAY
-what achievement is this
-how you did it
-how difficult it was
-why you are proud of it
I would like to talk about something that I did which made me feel incredibly
proud. This achievement is something that I worked hard for, and it gave me a
sense of accomplishment that I will never forget.
Last year, I decided to run a marathon. It was something that I had always
wanted to do, but I never had the courage or discipline to pursue it. However, I
decided to take the leap and sign up for a marathon in my city.
The training process was incredibly difficult. I had to change my diet, wake up
early every morning to run, and push myself to my limits. There were days
when I felt like giving up, and I wondered if I would ever be able to finish the
race.
However, I persevered, and I continued to train every day. I ran through rain,
snow, and heat, and I never missed a single day of training. As the race
approached, I felt nervous but excited to finally put my training to the test.
On the day of the marathon, I woke up early and made my way to the starting
line. As I began to run, I felt a rush of adrenaline and excitement. The race was
challenging, and there were times when I felt like giving up. However, I kept
pushing myself, and I eventually crossed the finish line.
The feeling of accomplishment that I felt after finishing the marathon was
indescribable. I had set a goal for myself and worked incredibly hard to achieve
it. I felt proud of myself for pushing through the challenges and completing the
race.
13. Describe a free time activity you enjoyed when you were younger
YOU SHOULD SAY
-what the activity was
-who you did it with
-when and where you did it
-why you like it
The free time activity that I enjoyed when I was younger was playing video
games. I would spend hours playing different games on my console, and it was
a hobby that I shared with many of my friends.
I played video games with my friends both in person and online. When we
were together, we would take turns playing different games and challenging
each other. When we were apart, we would connect online and play together,
even if we were in different parts of the world.
I played video games at home, in my room, where I had my console set up. I
would spend hours playing different games, immersing myself in the worlds
and characters that I encountered.
What I loved about playing video games was the sense of adventure and
exploration that it brought. I could be anyone or do anything in the virtual
world, and it was a way for me to escape and unwind after a long day at
school.
In conclusion, playing video games was an activity that I enjoyed when I was
younger. It allowed me to connect with my friends, explore new worlds, and
challenge myself in different ways. Even though I may not play video games as
much as I used to, I will always cherish the memories that I have of playing
with my friends and the sense of joy and excitement that it brought me.
We became friends through a shared love for literature and writing. We both
enjoyed reading books and writing stories, and we would often exchange our
work and provide feedback to each other.
I would like to work or study with Fotima because of her passion for
storytelling and her dedication to her craft. I believe that working with her on a
project would allow me to learn from her talent and gain valuable insights into
the world of writing.
In conclusion, Fotima is a person whom I would like to work or study with. She
is someone who has had a significant impact on my life as a friend, and I
believe that working with her would be an incredible opportunity for me to
learn, grow and contribute to important causes alongside someone I admire
and respect.
15. Describe a time when someone gave you something you really wanted
YOU SHOULD SAY
-what it was
-how you got it
-what you did
-why you wanted it so much
There was a time when someone gave me something that I had been wanting
for a very long time. It was a watch that I had been eyeing for months, and it
was a gift from my grandfather.
After receiving the watch, I wore it every day. It became a part of my daily
routine, and I felt a sense of pride every time I looked at it. The watch not only
helped me keep track of time, but it also reminded me of my grandfather's
love and support.
I wanted the watch so much because it represented more than just a material
possession. It was a symbol of my grandfather's love and a reminder of the
special bond that we shared. It was also a reminder of my own growth and
maturity, as I was now officially an adult.
In conclusion, receiving the watch from my grandfather was one of the most
special and meaningful gifts that I have ever received. It taught me the
importance of gratitude and appreciation, and it reminded me of the special
bond that I share with my family. I will always cherish the watch and the
memories that it represents.
16. Describe a complaint you made and you were satisfied about
YOU SHOULD SAY
-when it happened
-who you complained to
-what you complained about
-why you were satisfied with the results
I remember a time when I made a complaint and was satisfied with the
outcome. It happened about a year ago when I had an issue with the customer
service of an online retailer that I had purchased from.
I had ordered a product from the website, and it had arrived damaged. I was
disappointed with the quality of the product and frustrated that it had arrived
in such poor condition. I immediately contacted the customer service
department to express my dissatisfaction and to request a refund.
I was satisfied with the results of my complaint because the customer service
representative was professional, courteous, and responsive. They took my
issue seriously and made every effort to resolve it to my satisfaction. Their
willingness to listen to my concerns and take appropriate action was
impressive, and it left me with a positive impression of the company.
17. Describe something that you would like to learn in the future
YOU SHOULD SAY
-what you would like to learn to do
-how and where you would learn it
-why you would like to learn to do this
-whether it will be difficult or no
There are many things that I would like to learn in the future, but one thing
that stands out to me is learning how to play a musical instrument. Specifically,
I would like to learn how to play the guitar.
I have always admired people who can play musical instruments, and I believe
that learning to play the guitar would be a rewarding and enriching
experience. I have always been drawn to the sound and versatility of the
guitar, and I believe that it would be a great way to express myself creatively.
To learn how to play the guitar, I plan to take lessons from a professional
instructor. I would like to take private lessons so that I can receive personalized
instruction and feedback. I would also like to supplement my lessons with
online resources and instructional videos to help me practice and improve.
I believe that learning to play the guitar will be a challenging but rewarding
experience. It will require dedication, practice, and patience. I understand that
it will take time and effort to develop the necessary skills and techniques, but I
am excited to take on this challenge.
What I find most appealing about learning to play the guitar is the sense of
accomplishment that comes with mastering a new skill. I believe that it will be
incredibly satisfying to see my progress and to be able to play songs that I
enjoy listening to.
One of the most memorable characters from a film that I have watched is the
character of Forrest Gump, played by Tom Hanks in the movie of the same
name.
Forrest Gump is a simple man with a big heart who experiences many
significant events in American history. He is portrayed as an innocent and naive
character who is often underestimated by those around him. Despite his
limitations, Forrest Gump is a character who embodies optimism,
perseverance, and kindness.
I saw the film Forrest Gump for the first time several years ago, and it has
remained one of my favorite films since then. The character of Forrest Gump is
one of the main reasons why I enjoyed the film so much.
Tom Hanks did an excellent job of portraying Forrest Gump, and it is clear why
he won an Academy Award for his performance. Hanks brought a sense of
authenticity and vulnerability to the character, making him feel real and
relatable.
I like the character of Forrest Gump because he is a reminder of the power of
kindness and perseverance. Despite facing many challenges throughout his
life, Forrest never gives up. He always tries his best and remains true to
himself, which is a lesson that I think we can all learn from.
One of the noisiest places that I went to a few months ago was a street fair
that took place in a nearby town. The fair was held outdoors and featured
multiple vendors selling food, crafts, and other goods.
I went to the street fair with my family, and we were all excited to try the
different foods and browse the various booths. The atmosphere was lively,
with people milling around and enjoying the festivities.
The street fair was incredibly noisy, with music blaring from the speakers at
each booth and people talking loudly to be heard over the noise. The constant
noise made it difficult to have a conversation or to hear what others were
saying.
Despite the noise, I enjoyed the street fair because of the energy and
excitement that it generated. It was a great way to connect with the local
community and to try new foods and crafts. I also enjoyed seeing the different
performances and demonstrations that were taking place throughout the fair.
However, I can understand why some people might dislike the noise of a street
fair. It can be overwhelming and make it difficult to enjoy the other aspects of
the fair. It is important to be aware of the noise level and to take steps to
protect your hearing, such as wearing earplugs.
In conclusion, the street fair that I attended a few months ago was an
incredibly noisy place, but it was also a fun and exciting experience. The
energy and enthusiasm of the crowd made it a memorable event, and I
enjoyed sharing it with my family. While the noise level might not be for
everyone, I believe that the street fair was a great way to connect with the
local community and to enjoy the different foods, crafts, and performances
that were available.
I don't see myself changing my morning exercise routine anytime soon. It has
become such an important part of my daily routine that I can't imagine starting
my day without it. Even when I am traveling or have a busy schedule, I make
sure to find time to fit in a morning workout.
21. Describe a piece of news that you heard about someone you know well
-YOU SHOLD SAY
-what this news was
-when and how you heard it
-how you felt about it
Recently, I came across a piece of news about someone I know very well, and I
wanted to share it with you all. This news was about my best friend, Husan. I
heard about it just a few days ago when we were chatting on the phone.
The news was that Husan had been promoted to a higher position at his
workplace. He had been working hard for this promotion for a while, and
finally, his efforts had paid off. He was now going to be the head of his
department, which was a significant achievement for him.
When I heard the news, I was ecstatic for Husan. I knew how much he had
worked towards this goal and how passionate he was about his job. I could
hear the excitement in his voice when he told me the news, and it was
infectious. I was thrilled for him and felt proud of his accomplishments.
This news was a reminder of how hard work and dedication can lead to
success. Husan's promotion was a testament to his work ethic, and it was
inspiring to see him achieve his goals. It also made me reflect on my own goals
and how I could work towards achieving them.
I want to share with you my very first day at school that I remember clearly. It
was a day of mixed emotions and new experiences that would shape my
future.
However, despite being excited, I also remember feeling nervous and a bit
scared. It was my first time being away from my parents for so long, and I
didn't know anyone at the school. But my teacher and classmates were very
supportive, and they made me feel comfortable and at ease.
The school was located in a busy city center, and it was always bustling with
people and traffic. But the school provided a safe and nurturing environment
where I could learn and grow.
In conclusion, my first day at school was a day that I will always remember. It
was a day filled with excitement, nervousness, and new beginnings. I am
grateful for the memories and experiences that I gained from that day, and I
will always cherish them.
24. Describe a person you met at a party and enjoyed talking with
YOU SHOULD SAY
-what party it was
-who this person is
-what you talked about
-why you enjoyed talking to this person
Certainly, let me rephrase the speech for you.
I would like to talk about a person I met at a party and enjoyed talking with. It
was a social gathering, and I was introduced to a girl named Gulasal by a
mutual friend.
What I enjoyed most about talking to Gulasal was her friendly personality and
her ability to listen attentively. She was genuinely interested in what I had to
say, and I felt comfortable sharing my thoughts and opinions with her. We had
a pleasant conversation, and I felt like I had made a new friend.
As the party continued, we kept talking and laughing, and we even exchanged
our contact information. I was grateful for the opportunity to meet someone
like Gulasal, who not only shared similar interests as me but also had a warm
and welcoming personality.
The advertisement was for a weight loss product, and it aired on television
during prime time. I saw it while watching a popular TV show. The
advertisement featured a woman who had apparently lost a significant
amount of weight using the product, and she talked about how easy it was to
lose weight with this product.
I did not like this advertisement for several reasons. Firstly, it was promoting
the idea of losing weight quickly and easily, which is not a healthy or
sustainable approach to weight loss. It gave the impression that the product
was a quick fix solution to weight loss, which is not true. Losing weight
requires a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise.
Secondly, the advertisement used before-and-after photos to promote the
product. These types of photos can be misleading and do not accurately
represent the reality of weight loss. They can also be harmful to people's self-
esteem and body image.
Lastly, the advertisement did not provide any information about the potential
side effects of using the product. It did not mention any health risks or warn
viewers about the potential harm that could be caused by using the product.
In conclusion, I did not like this advertisement for a weight loss product. It
promoted an unhealthy and unsustainable approach to weight loss, used
misleading before-and-after photos, and did not mention any potential side
effects. It is important that advertisements promote healthy and safe products
and do not mislead consumers.
I want to share with you an occasion where I spent time with a child. This child
was my little cousin, and we spent an afternoon together at the park.
We played on the swings, went down the slide, and had a picnic on the grass.
My cousin was so excited to spend time with me, and it was a joy to see her
running around and laughing.
I spent time with my cousin because I wanted to bond with her and create
memories that we could cherish. I also wanted to be a positive influence in her
life and be someone she could look up to.
We spent the afternoon together on a warm summer day. The sun was shining,
and the park was full of families enjoying the beautiful weather. It was a
perfect day to spend time outside and enjoy each other's company.
I felt happy and fulfilled spending time with my little cousin. It was
heartwarming to see her smile and laugh, and it made me feel good to know
that I was making a positive impact in her life. It was a reminder of the
importance of family and how spending time with loved ones can bring us joy
and happiness.
In conclusion, spending time with my little cousin at the park was a memorable
occasion for me. We had fun playing together and creating memories that we
will always cherish. I felt happy and fulfilled knowing that I was making a
positive impact in her life, and it was a reminder of the importance of family
and spending time with loved ones.
Getting lost can be a scary and frustrating experience, but it can also be a
valuable learning opportunity. I remember an occasion where I got lost while
hiking in a national park.
It was a beautiful summer day, and I had planned on hiking a trail that I had
never been on before. I had done some research beforehand and had a map,
but I soon realized that the trail markers were not as clear as I had expected.
Before I knew it, I was completely lost.
As I continued to walk, I began to feel anxious and scared. I was worried that I
was going the wrong way and that I would never find my way back. I started to
question my decision to go on this hike alone and wished that I had brought a
friend with me.
However, as I continued to walk, I began to notice my surroundings more
closely. I started to notice unique landmarks and features that I had not seen
before. I realized that getting lost had allowed me to explore a new area of the
park that I may not have discovered otherwise.
Eventually, I found my way back to the main path and was relieved to have
made it back safely. I learned an important lesson that day about the
importance of being prepared and having a backup plan. I also learned that
getting lost can be an opportunity to discover new things and to appreciate the
beauty of nature.
We all have that one piece of clothing that we just can't seem to live without,
and for me, it's my favorite pair of jeans. These jeans are a classic, straight-leg
style and are a medium wash denim. They are comfortable, versatile, and have
become a staple in my wardrobe.
I wear these jeans almost every day, and I got them a few years ago at a local
thrift store. I was looking for a new pair of jeans and stumbled upon them in
the men's section. I tried them on, and they fit perfectly. I was drawn to the
classic style and the fact that they were second-hand, which made them more
sustainable.
I like wearing these jeans because they are comfortable and go with almost
anything in my wardrobe. They can be dressed up or down, making them
perfect for any occasion. They have become a part of my personal style, and I
feel confident wearing them.
In addition to their comfort and versatility, I also like wearing these jeans
because they are sustainable. By purchasing them second-hand, I am reducing
my environmental impact and supporting a more sustainable fashion industry.
We all rely on information to make decisions and navigate our lives, but what
happens when that information is incorrect? I remember a time when I
received incorrect information while planning a trip.
I was planning a trip to a new city and was looking for a restaurant
recommendation. I asked a friend who had visited the city before, and they
gave me a recommendation for what they said was the best restaurant in
town. I trusted their recommendation and made a reservation.

One of the main reasons I want to visit Japan is to experience the unique blend

Childhood is a time filled with wonder, joy, and unforgettable experiences. One
such experience that stands out to me was a family vacation to the beach
when I was eight years old.
It was a beautiful summer day, and my family and I had traveled to a small
town on the coast. We spent our days playing on the beach, building
sandcastles, and swimming in the ocean. We also went on walks along the
boardwalk and enjoyed delicious seafood dinners at local restaurants.
I was with my parents and my younger sister, and we had so much fun
together. We laughed, played, and enjoyed each other's company. I felt so
happy and carefree, and I remember thinking that this was what true
happiness felt like.
One particular moment that stands out to me was when my dad taught me
how to surf. We rented a surfboard and spent the afternoon in the ocean. He
showed me how to paddle, catch a wave, and stand up on the board. I was a
little nervous at first, but with his guidance and support, I was able to ride a
wave all the way to shore. I felt so proud of myself and grateful for my dad's
patience and encouragement.
Looking back on that vacation, I realize how lucky I was to have such a
wonderful childhood and a loving family. That experience taught me the
importance of spending time with the people you love and enjoying the simple
pleasures of life.
In conclusion, the family vacation to the beach when I was eight years old was
an enjoyable experience that I will never forget. I was with my parents and
sister, and we had so much fun playing on the beach, swimming in the ocean,
and enjoying each other's company. I also learned how to surf with my dad's
guidance and support, which was a proud moment for me. That experience
taught me the importance of spending time with family and enjoying the
simple pleasures of life.
Childhood is a time for play, exploration, and imagination. One game that I
remember playing often with my siblings and friends was hide-and-seek.
Playing hide-and-seek was always a fun and exciting experience for me. I loved
the feeling of anticipation and excitement as I searched for the other players or
tried to find the perfect hiding spot. I also enjoyed the social aspect of the
game, as it allowed me to spend time and bond with my siblings and friends.
Recently, a new shop opened up in my city, and it has been creating quite a
buzz. The shop is located in a trendy neighborhood and sells a variety of eco-
friendly and sustainable products.
The shop sells a range of items, including clothing, home goods, and beauty
products, all of which are made using sustainable materials and ethical
production practices. They also offer a range of workshops and events that
promote sustainable living and environmental awareness.
I think this shop has the potential to be very successful, as more and more
people are becoming aware of the importance of sustainable living and ethical
consumption. The shop offers a unique and innovative approach to shopping,
and I think it will attract a wide range of customers who are looking for eco-
friendly and ethical products.
People go to this shop for a variety of reasons. Some are drawn by the ethical

promote the shop's mission of promoting sustainability and ethical living.
Inventions have changed the way we live our lives, from the wheel to the
internet, they have shaped our society and culture. One of the inventions that
has had a significant impact on our lives is the smartphone.
A smartphone is a handheld device that combines the functionality of a
computer, camera, and phone. It allows users to make phone calls, send
messages, browse the internet, take pictures and videos, and access a wide
range of apps and services.
I use my smartphone every day for a variety of tasks, from staying in touch
with friends and family to managing my schedule and work tasks. I also use it
to browse social media, read news articles, and even stream movies and TV
shows.
While smartphones are relatively easy to use, they do require some level of
technical proficiency. Some features and apps can be more challenging to
navigate, and there is always a risk of technical issues or security breaches.
However, the benefits of using a smartphone far outweigh the challenges, and
with the right tools and resources, anyone can learn to use one effectively.
I went on the trip with my parents and siblings, and we had a great time
together exploring the natural beauty of the area. We went on hikes through
the forest, rode horses through the mountains, and even went on a thrilling
zipline adventure. We also enjoyed delicious local cuisine and spent time
relaxing in the peaceful surroundings.
The journey to the resort was also memorable, as we passed through small
towns and villages, each with their own unique culture and traditions. We
stopped at local markets and shops along the way, which allowed us to
experience the local way of life and purchase souvenirs to remember our trip.
Overall, I felt incredibly grateful for the opportunity to take this road trip with
my family and to visit such a beautiful and peaceful place. The Zomin Nature
Resort was a true oasis, offering a chance to escape the hustle and bustle of
city life and connect with nature. I felt a sense of peace and tranquility that
stayed with me long after we returned home.

Resort in Uzbekistan was a memorable and meaningful experience. We
traveled through beautiful landscapes, explored the natural beauty of the area,
and created lasting memories together. I felt grateful for the opportunity to
connect with nature and spend quality time with my loved ones in such a
peaceful and serene environment.
One book that I have read many times is "Five Feet Apart" by Rachael
Lippincott. It is a young adult novel that tells the story of two teenagers, Stella
and Will, who are both living with cystic fibrosis and must stay at least six feet
apart to avoid cross-contamination.
I have read this book multiple times because of its emotional depth and
beautiful storytelling. The book explores the challenges of living with a chronic
illness, as well as the importance of connection, hope, and human connection.
I feel deeply connected to the characters in the book, especially Stella and Will,
who are both struggling with their illness and the limitations it places on their
lives. The book shows how they find solace and comfort in each other, despite
the physical distance between them.
The book also explores themes of grief, loss, and love, and it always leaves me

others.

descriptions that bring the characters and their world to life. The author does

into his new apartment about two months ago.
Ibragim had been living in a small and cramped apartment for several years,
and he had been wanting to move to a more spacious and comfortable place

39. Describe a film you watched recently that you felt disappointed about
YOU SHOULD SAY
-what it was
-why you decided to watch it
-why it made you disappointed
I decided to watch the movie because I am a fan of Amy Adams and enjoy
psychological thrillers. I had also heard some buzz about the film and was
interested to see how it would play out on screen.
I think part of the problem was that the movie tried to do too much, cramming
in too many plot twists and subplots without fully exploring any of them. This
made the film feel scattered and unfocused, and left me feeling unsatisfied by
the end.
In conclusion, "The Woman in the Window" is a movie that left me feeling
disappointed. While I appreciate the effort to create a gripping and
suspenseful thriller, the film ultimately fell short due to its slow pacing,
predictable plot twists, and underdeveloped characters. Despite my
disappointment, I will continue to seek out new movies and hope to find more
satisfying viewing experiences in the future.

As for the design of the apartment, I would like it to be modern and stylish,
with clean lines and minimalist décor. I am a big fan of natural light, so I would
want plenty of large windows that let in lots of sunshine. I would also love to
have high ceilings and an open-concept layout that creates a spacious and airy
feel.
When it comes to the design, I would like a modern and minimalist style with
bright colors and natural light. The apartment should have large windows that
offer a stunning view of the surrounding cityscape. I would also love to have a
balcony or a terrace, where I can relax and enjoy the breathtaking view with a
cup of coffee or a glass of wine.
Moreover, my ideal apartment should have all the necessary amenities, such
as a gym, a swimming pool, and a private parking space. It should also have
high-speed internet connectivity, allowing me to work from home without any
interruptions.
The Himalayas is a mountain range that spans across five countries, including
Nepal, India, Bhutan, China, and Pakistan. It is home to some of the tallest
mountain peaks in the world, including the highest peak, Mount Everest.
I would love to trek to the base camp of Mount Everest, which is located in
Nepal. This is a challenging but rewarding trek that takes around two weeks to
complete. The trek offers breathtaking views of the Himalayan range and an
opportunity to experience the unique Sherpa culture.
I'd like to go on this adventure with a group of my closest friends who share
the same passion for travel and adventure as I do. The reason why I find this
adventure interesting is that it offers a unique opportunity to challenge myself
physically and mentally, as well as to immerse myself in a new culture and
environment.
It was a decision that had a significant impact on my life, and it was not an
easy one to make.
To make this decision, I had to weigh the pros and cons carefully. On one hand,
I knew that pursuing a higher education degree would open up new
opportunities for me, both professionally and personally. On the other hand, I
was leaving behind everything that was familiar to me, and I was not sure if I
would be able to adapt to a new environment.
After much contemplation and discussion with my family and friends, I decided
to take the leap and move to a new city. It was a difficult decision, but I knew
that it was the right one for me to make.
The results of this decision were life-changing. Moving to a new city allowed
me to pursue a higher education degree, which opened up new opportunities
for me. I was able to meet new people, make new friends, and gain
experiences that I would not have had if I had stayed in my hometown.

Surfing is a water sport that involves riding on the waves using a surfboard. It
requires balance, strength, and coordination, making it a challenging but
rewarding sport to learn.
Surfing is not an easy sport to master, and it requires a lot of practice and
dedication. To learn how to surf, I would need to take lessons from a
professional instructor who can teach me the basics, such as paddling,
standing up, and riding the waves.
The reason why I want to try surfing is that it offers a unique experience of
being in nature and challenging oneself physically and mentally. I love being in
the water, and the idea of riding on the waves is exciting to me. I also
appreciate the sense of freedom and adventure that comes with surfing.
In conclusion, surfing is a water sport that I want to try in the future. While it
may be challenging to master, I believe that the experience of riding on the
waves and being in nature would be worth the effort. I look forward to taking
lessons and investing in the necessary equipment to make this dream a reality.
I felt both nervous and excited about giving the speech. On one hand, I was
nervous about speaking in front of a large group of people and worried about
how my classmates would receive my message. On the other hand, I was
excited about the opportunity to share my views and to make a difference in
the world.
During the speech, I used visual aids such as charts and graphs to support my
argument and engage my audience. I also used personal anecdotes and stories
to make my speech more relatable and memorable.
The place that I went to was Registan in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. I went there
during the summer season when the city was bustling with people from all
over the world.
I went to Registan with my family, and we were all amazed by the beauty and
grandeur of the place. Registan is a famous public square in Samarkand,
known for its three magnificent madrasahs (Islamic schools) that date back to
the 15th and 17th centuries.
There were people everywhere, taking pictures, admiring the architecture, and
enjoying the lively atmosphere. Registan is also a popular destination for street
performers, and we were entertained by musicians and dancers who added to
the festive atmosphere.
Despite the crowds, everyone was in good spirits and had a positive attitude.
People were friendly, and there was a sense of awe and wonder among
everyone there.
The reason why Registan was crowded when I went there is that it is a popular
destination for tourists and locals alike. The exquisite architecture, rich cultural
history, and lively atmosphere make it a must-visit destination for anyone
traveling to Uzbekistan.
The job that I find particularly interesting is that of a wildlife biologist. Wildlife
biologists study and observe animals in their natural habitats, and they work to
protect and conserve wildlife populations.
I first learned about this job while studying biology in college. I was fascinated
by the idea of studying animals in their natural habitats and working to protect
endangered species.
What I find particularly interesting about this job is the opportunity to work in
the great outdoors and to observe and study animals in their natural habitats.
Wildlife biologists have the opportunity to travel to remote locations and work
in diverse environments, from tropical rainforests to arctic tundras.
In India, one of the most important and widely celebrated festivals is Diwali.
Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, is celebrated to mark the victory of
good over evil and the triumph of light over darkness.
One of the most significant rituals of Diwali is lighting candles and lamps,
which symbolize the triumph of light over darkness. People also exchange gifts
and sweets with their friends and family.
What makes Diwali special and important is that it brings people together and
fosters a sense of community and togetherness. It is a time for families and
friends to come together, share food and gifts, and enjoy the festive
atmosphere.
PART 3
HISTORY
HISTORY
2. What are the differences between learning history from books and from videos?
Learning history from books gives you a more in-depth and detailed understanding of
the subject matter, while learning from videos can provide a more engaging and
immersive experience. Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages, and
it ultimately comes down to personal preference and learning style.
People can learn about history through various means, such as reading books,
watching documentaries, visiting museums and historical sites, listening to podcasts,
and attending lectures or classes. It's essential to find a method that works for you
and to continue learning throughout your life.
Museums teach people history through exhibits, interactive displays, guided tours,
and educational programs. They provide a hands-on and immersive learning
experience that allows visitors to engage with history on a deeper level.
Yes, I think it's essential to remember our family history as it helps us to understand
our roots, our cultural heritage, and our personal identity. It also provides a sense of
continuity and connection with our ancestors.
NEIGHBOURS
Sure, I'd be happy to answer these questions from a human perspective. Here are my
responses:
1. Do you think it is easier for people to get to know each other if they live in the
countryside?
I think it can be easier for people to get to know each other if they live in the
countryside. Living in a rural area often means that there are fewer people around,
so you're more likely to run into your neighbors and have opportunities to interact
with them. Additionally, people in rural areas may have more shared experiences and
interests because they're living in a similar environment, which can make it easier to
bond.
Children can build relationships with neighbors through a variety of ways. They might
play outside and run into other kids in the neighborhood, or they might attend the
same school or after-school activities. Children might also be introduced to their
neighbors by their parents, or they might strike up a conversation while walking their
dog or playing in the park.
3. How can people improve their relationship with their neighbors?
People can improve their relationship with their neighbors by being friendly,
respectful, and communicative. It's important to say hello and acknowledge your
neighbors when you see them, and to be open to having conversations and getting to
know them. Additionally, showing consideration for your neighbors by keeping noise
levels down and being mindful of shared spaces can go a long way in building
positive relationships.
It really depends on the neighborhood and the individual neighbors. In some areas,
people might be very familiar with each other and have close relationships, while in
other areas, people might keep to themselves more. With the rise of social media
and other digital communication tools, it's also possible for neighbors to connect and
interact in new ways that they might not have in the past.
5. What factors help neighbors to have good relations with each other?
Some factors that can help neighbors have good relations with each other include
shared interests or experiences, mutual respect, open communication, and a
willingness to be helpful and supportive. It can also be helpful for neighbors to have
opportunities to interact with each other, such as through neighborhood events or
shared communal spaces.
There are many factors that can make a neighborhood a good one to live in, including
access to amenities like parks, schools, and shops; a sense of safety and security; a
strong sense of community and social connections; and affordable housing options.
Additionally, neighborhoods that are well-maintained and aesthetically pleasing can
contribute to a higher quality of life for residents.
EATING OUT
1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of eating at a restaurant?
It depends on the occasion and the preferences of the people I'm meeting. If we're
looking for a quick and casual catch-up, I might choose a café for coffee or a light
meal. If we're celebrating a special occasion or looking for a more formal dining
experience, I might choose a restaurant with a more extensive menu and a nicer
atmosphere.
Cafes tend to attract a wide range of people, but some common characteristics of
cafe-goers might include those who enjoy a relaxed and informal atmosphere, those
who appreciate good coffee and baked goods, and those who enjoy a space to work
or socialize outside of their home.
4. What kind of things do you think can make a café or restaurant's environment
better?
Some things that can make a cafe or restaurant's environment better include
comfortable seating, pleasant decor and lighting, good music, and friendly and
attentive staff. Additionally, offering a variety of high-quality food and drink options,
as well as accommodating dietary restrictions, can make a big difference in the
overall experience.
It depends on the restaurant and the city or region you're in. In some areas, eating
out can be quite expensive, particularly at high-end or trendy restaurants. However,
there are also many affordable options available, such as casual cafes and chain
restaurants. Additionally, some regions or cities may be more or less expensive than
others, depending on the cost of living.
INTERNET, TV, LIBRARIES
1. What's the difference between the internet and the television?
The internet and television are both forms of media, but there are some key
differences between them. Television is a more passive form of entertainment,
where viewers typically watch programs that are scheduled and delivered through
broadcast or cable networks. The internet, on the other hand, is a more interactive
medium, where users can access a wide range of information and media at any time,
often through their computers or mobile devices.
2. What are the differences between old and young people when they use the
internet?
Older people may use the internet in different ways than younger people, as they
may have different levels of digital literacy and different preferences for online
activities. For example, older people may be more likely to use the internet for email,
online shopping, or researching health information, while younger people may be
more likely to use social media, video streaming, or online gaming.
3. Can cybercrime be curbed?
4. Why do people like to read news on the internet rather than watch it on TV?
Reading news on the internet can offer several advantages over watching it on TV.
For one, online news sources tend to offer more diverse and up-to-date coverage
than traditional broadcast news. Additionally, online news can be accessed at any
time and from any location, making it more convenient for people with busy
schedules. Finally, reading news online allows readers to select and customize their
sources, tailoring their news consumption to their specific interests and perspectives.
5. What are the most and least popular apps in your country?
The most popular apps in my country are likely to be social media platforms like
Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, as well as messaging apps like WhatsApp and
Messenger. Other popular apps might include productivity tools like Google Drive
and Microsoft Office, online shopping platforms like Amazon and eBay, and
entertainment apps like Netflix and Spotify. The least popular apps are likely to be
niche or specialized apps with a smaller user base, or apps that are poorly designed
or have limited functionality.
TECHNOLOGY
1. What technology do people currently use?
Technology has a significant impact on our lives, affecting everything from the way
we communicate and work to the way we shop, learn, and entertain ourselves.
Technology can make our lives more convenient and efficient, but it can also have
negative effects, such as addiction, isolation, and privacy concerns.
Yes, the development of technology has had a significant impact on the way we
study. With the widespread availability of online resources and educational
technology, students and educators have access to a vast array of learning tools and
resources. Additionally, technology has enabled new forms of learning, such as
online courses and distance learning, which can be particularly beneficial for
students in remote or underserved areas.
Big companies introduce new products frequently to expand their market share,
increase revenue, and stay ahead of their competitors. New products can generate
excitement and interest among consumers, and can help companies stay relevant in
a constantly evolving market.
6. Why are people so keen on buying iPhones even though they haven't changed
much from one to the next?
The iPhone has built a strong brand and reputation for quality and innovation, which
has helped to create a loyal customer base. Additionally, each new iPhone release
may include incremental improvements, such as better cameras, faster processors,
and longer battery life, which can be appealing to those who value having the latest
and greatest technology. Finally, there may be social and cultural factors at play, such
as the perception that owning an iPhone is a status symbol or a sign of wealth and
success.
CITIES
1. Why is noise pollution worse in tourism cities than in other cities?
Tourism cities tend to be more crowded and have higher levels of activity than other
cities, which can contribute to higher levels of noise pollution. Additionally, tourism
cities often have more bars, restaurants, and entertainment venues, which can
generate noise from music, crowds, and other activities.
It depends on the individual and their preferences. Some people may enjoy the
structure and predictability of planned travel, while others may prefer a more
spontaneous and flexible approach. Ultimately, the type of travel that someone
enjoys will depend on their personal preferences and travel goals.
Historical cities are popular because they offer a window into the past, allowing
visitors to experience the culture, architecture, and traditions of a bygone era.
Additionally, historical cities often have unique and iconic landmarks, such as castles,
cathedrals, and ancient ruins, which can be a draw for visitors.
5. Do you think tourists may come across bad things in other cities?
Yes, tourists may encounter negative experiences in other cities, just as they might in
their own hometowns. Common issues that tourists might face include theft, scams,
harassment, or other forms of crime or violence. It's important for tourists to be
aware of potential risks and to take steps to protect themselves, such as by staying in
safe areas, avoiding risky behavior, and being vigilant with their belongings.
SKILLS
1. How can we know what to do when we want to learn something new?
When wanting to learn something new, it's important to start by defining clear
learning objectives. This involves identifying what you want to learn and why, as well
as setting specific goals and timelines for achieving your learning objectives. From
there, you can research different learning resources and approaches, such as online
courses, books, tutorials, or workshops. Finally, it's important to stay motivated and
committed to your learning goals, and to seek out support and feedback from others
who can help you along the way.
Yes, watching videos is a popular way for people in my country to learn new things,
particularly among younger generations. Video-based learning can be a more
engaging and interactive way to absorb information, and can allow learners to see
and hear demonstrations of concepts or skills in action.
In many cases, "showing" can be a more effective way to convey information and
teach skills than "telling." This is because visual and hands-on demonstrations can
help learners better understand and internalize concepts, and can provide a more
immersive and engaging learning experience.
Young people can teach older people a wide range of practical skills, depending on
their own areas of expertise and the needs of the older person. Some examples
might include basic computer and smartphone skills, social media and
communication tools, cooking or baking skills, or fitness and wellness practices.
There are many places to learn practical skills, depending on the specific skill and the
individual's learning preferences. Some options might include online courses and
tutorials, community education programs, vocational schools, apprenticeships or
internships, or on-the-job training. Additionally, many informal learning
opportunities can be found through hobbies, clubs, and social groups.
BEING LATE
1. Are people in your country often late for meetings?
4. Are people born with time management skills or can they develop them?
While some individuals may have a natural inclination towards time management
and organization, these skills can also be developed and improved through practice
and training. With a deliberate effort to set priorities, establish routines, and use
effective time management tools, most people can improve their ability to manage
their time effectively.
There are many reasons why people may be late for meetings or appointments,
including traffic congestion, unexpected delays, poor planning, forgetfulness, or lack
of motivation. Additionally, some individuals may struggle with time management or
procrastination, which can lead to missed deadlines or appointments.
Yes, being on time is an important aspect of showing respect and consideration for
others, as well as demonstrating professionalism and responsibility. Punctuality can
also help to establish trust and credibility in personal and professional relationships,
and can contribute to a more efficient and productive work environment.
POLLUTION
1. Do you think many companies have been forced to reduce pollutants?
Yes, many companies have been forced to reduce pollutants over the past several
decades due to increased public awareness of environmental issues, as well as
government regulations and enforcement. Many companies have implemented
pollution control technologies and practices, such as emissions controls, waste
reduction, and energy efficiency measures, in order to comply with environmental
regulations and reduce their environmental impact.
It depends on the specific type of pollution and the location in question. In some
cases, such as air pollution in urban areas, there may be more pollution now than in
the past due to factors such as increased population, industrialization, and
transportation. However, in other cases, such as water pollution, there may be less
pollution now than in the past due to improved environmental regulations and
pollution control measures.
Yes, wind can have a significant effect on pollution by dispersing pollutants over a
wider area, or by concentrating pollutants in specific locations. Wind direction and
speed can influence the distribution of pollutants, and can impact air quality and
public health in nearby areas.
Factories and plants can take a number of steps to reduce pollution, including
implementing pollution control technologies such as scrubbers and filters, reducing
waste generation through process improvements and recycling programs, and
optimizing energy efficiency to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally,
companies can invest in renewable energy sources such as solar or wind power, or
transition to cleaner production processes.
TRANSPORTATION
1. What leisure facilities can be used by people of all ages?
There are many leisure facilities that can be used by people of all ages, including:
the most popular means of transportation in many cities around the world is typically
public transportation such as buses, subways, and trains. Other popular modes of
transportation may include cars, bicycles, and walking.
There are many areas where public transport could be improved, including:
Absolutely! I think it's really important to remember that age is just a number and
that we're all individuals with unique interests and passions. Sure, there may be
some generational differences in the things we enjoy or the cultural references we're
familiar with, but at the end of the day, there are plenty of hobbies and interests that
can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Personally, I love playing board games, listening
to music, and exploring nature, and I've met people of all ages who share those same
interests.
There are so many benefits to being interested in other people! For one thing, it can
help you to build stronger relationships and create meaningful connections with
others. When you take an interest in someone else's life and experiences, you're
showing them that you care about them and value their perspective, which can help
to create trust and a sense of mutual respect. Additionally, being interested in other
people can help you to broaden your horizons and gain new insights and ideas. When
you learn about someone else's experiences and perspectives, you're opening
yourself up to new ways of thinking and seeing the world, which can be incredibly
valuable.
Being self-centered can cause a lot of problems in society, from conflicts between
individuals to larger social issues. When people are overly focused on their own
needs and desires, they may be less willing to compromise or work collaboratively
with others, which can lead to misunderstandings and conflict. Additionally, self-
centered behavior can contribute to social inequities and injustices, as people may
prioritize their own interests over the needs of others or the common good. Finally,
being self-centered can lead to social isolation, as people may be less likely to form
close relationships with others or to participate in social activities.
4. What kinds of things can young people learn from old people?
Young people can learn so many valuable things from older people! For one thing,
older people often have a wealth of life experience and wisdom that can be
incredibly valuable for younger generations. They may have practical skills and
knowledge that are less common or less emphasized in younger generations, such as
cooking, gardening, or traditional crafts. Additionally, older people may have a
deeper understanding of historical and cultural events that have shaped their
communities or the world, and can provide valuable context and insights for younger
generations. Finally, older people may have developed a greater sense of patience
and perseverance over time, which can be valuable for younger people who are still
learning to navigate the challenges of life.
GOALS
1. Does everyone set goals for themselves?
No, not everyone sets goals for themselves. While setting goals can be a useful tool
for personal growth and achievement, some people may prefer to live more in the
moment and not worry so much about the future. Additionally, some people may not
feel that goal-setting is a good fit for their personality or their current life
circumstances.
Yes, people often set different goals at different stages of life. For example, someone
in their early twenties may be more focused on career development and establishing
themselves in the world, while someone in their fifties may be more focused on
retirement planning and spending time with family. Additionally, life experiences and
changing circumstances can also lead people to adjust or revise their goals over time.
4. Is there any difference between children’s ambitions and those of grown ups?
Yes, there can be significant differences between children's ambitions and those of
adults. Children may be more focused on immediate desires and goals, such as
getting good grades in school or winning a sports competition. Adults, on the other
hand, may be more focused on long-term goals and aspirations, such as starting a
family, running a successful business, or achieving financial stability. Additionally,
adults may have a greater sense of their own limitations and the realities of the
world, which can shape their goals in different ways than those of children.
LEISURE TIME
1. How do people balance life and work?
Balancing life and work can be a challenge, but there are a few strategies that people
use to achieve this balance. One approach is to set clear boundaries between work
and personal time, such as by establishing specific work hours and avoiding work-
related tasks during off-hours. Another strategy is to prioritize self-care and leisure
activities, such as exercise, socializing, or pursuing hobbies, which can help to reduce
stress and improve overall well-being. Additionally, some people may negotiate
flexible work arrangements with their employers, such as working from home or
adjusting their work hours to better fit their personal schedules.
Yes, it's very important to take breaks during work or study. Taking breaks can help to
improve productivity and concentration, reduce stress and fatigue, and improve
overall well-being. Ideally, breaks should be taken every hour or two, and should
include some form of physical activity or mental relaxation, such as stretching, taking
a walk, or practicing meditation or deep breathing exercises.
Leisure activities can vary widely depending on the individual, but some activities
that are popular among older adults include gardening, reading, traveling, and
spending time with family and friends. Younger people may be more likely to engage
in social activities, such as going out with friends, attending concerts or sporting
events, or participating in outdoor activities like hiking or biking. However, there is
also a lot of overlap between the leisure activities of different age groups, and many
people enjoy a wide variety of hobbies and interests throughout their lives.
5. Do young people nowadays have more time to relax than in the past?
It's difficult to say whether young people today have more or less time to relax than
in the past, as this can vary widely depending on a variety of factors, including
cultural and societal norms, economic conditions, and individual circumstances.
However, it's worth noting that many young people today face a range of challenges
and pressures, including high levels of academic and social competition, economic
uncertainty, and technological distractions, which can make it difficult to find time for
relaxation and leisure activities.
I can say that people around the world engage in a wide variety of leisure activities in
their free time. Some popular activities include spending time with family and
friends, pursuing hobbies and creative interests, engaging in physical activities like
sports or exercise, and exploring new places and experiences through travel or
cultural events.
7. Why do many people nowadays say there are not enough hours in a day?
Many people feel that there are not enough hours in the day due to a variety of
factors, including increasingly busy and demanding work schedules, the pressures of
social media and other forms of digital distraction, and the constant availability of
entertainment and information that can make it difficult to disconnect and relax.
Additionally, many people may feel that they are expected to accomplish more and
be more productive than ever before, which can create a sense of overwhelm and
time pressure.
GIFTS AND REWARDS
1. What rewards do children want to get?
Children often enjoy receiving rewards that are fun and engaging, such as stickers,
small toys, or treats like candy or ice cream. They may also appreciate activities or
experiences that are special or out of the ordinary, such as a trip to the zoo or a visit
to a theme park. Additionally, children may be motivated by praise and recognition
from their parents or teachers, such as a special note or certificate acknowledging
their accomplishments.
Children are often rewarded for academic achievements, such as getting good
grades, completing assignments on time, or performing well on tests. They may also
be rewarded for positive behaviors, such as being kind and respectful to others,
following rules, or demonstrating good study habits. In some cases, schools may offer
rewards for extracurricular activities, such as participating in sports teams, music
programs, or community service projects.
COMPLAINTS
1. When are people more likely to make complaints?
People are more likely to make complaints when they are dissatisfied with a product
or service, or when they have encountered a problem or issue that they feel needs to
be addressed. Complaints may also be more likely in situations where people feel
they have been treated unfairly or unjustly.
It's difficult to generalize about which age group is more likely to make complaints, as
this can vary widely depending on individual personalities, experiences, and
circumstances. However, research suggests that younger people may be more likely
to make complaints, particularly when it comes to issues related to technology or
consumer products.
People may complain about a wide variety of issues, including poor customer service,
product defects, billing errors, or issues with delivery or shipping. Complaints may
also be related to workplace problems, such as discrimination, harassment, or unfair
treatment.
The best way to make a complaint may depend on the individual situation and the
preferences of the person making the complaint. In some cases, talking to a
customer service representative or manager in person or over the phone may be the
most effective way to resolve an issue quickly. In other cases, writing a complaint
letter or email may be more appropriate, particularly if the issue is complex or
requires documentation.
5. What products or services do people like to complain about?
People may complain about a wide variety of products and services, including
electronics, appliances, clothing, food, and transportation. Complaints may be
related to issues such as quality, performance, safety, or customer service.
Yes, setting up customer service is essential for companies that want to provide a
positive customer experience and build customer loyalty. Good customer service can
help to address customer complaints and issues, improve customer satisfaction, and
create positive word-of-mouth marketing for the company. Additionally, companies
that prioritize customer service may be more likely to retain customers and generate
repeat business, which can be critical for long-term success.
While some young people may take their parents' advice into consideration when
choosing a major, it ultimately depends on the individual and their relationship with
their parents. Some young people may be heavily influenced by their parents'
opinions and expectations, while others may prioritize their own interests and goals.
People may prefer to study alone for a variety of reasons, including the ability to
focus better without distractions, the ability to work at their own pace, and the
ability to tailor their study techniques to their individual learning styles. Additionally,
some people may feel more comfortable working independently and may be more
productive when they can work on their own.
The most popular thing to learn nowadays may vary depending on individual
interests and trends in education and technology. However, some popular subjects
for learning include technology, coding, foreign languages, and personal
development skills such as mindfulness and time management.
The age at which children can make decisions on their own can vary depending on
their individual maturity level and the specific decision in question. In general,
children may begin to make more independent decisions as they enter adolescence
and gain more autonomy and responsibility. However, parents and guardians may
still play an important role in guiding and supporting children's decision-making
processes.
ACTORS
1. What are the differences between actors and actresses who earn much and who
earn little?
The differences between actors and actresses who earn a lot and those who earn
less can depend on many factors, such as their level of experience, their reputation in
the industry, and the types of roles they typically play. Those who earn a lot may
have achieved a high level of success and recognition, and may have more
opportunities to work on high-profile projects. They may also have more negotiating
power when it comes to their contracts and salaries. Those who earn less may be
newer to the industry, or may be working on smaller or less lucrative projects.
Children may enjoy wearing special costumes because it allows them to play and
pretend, and to take on different roles and personas. Dressing up in costumes can
also be a fun way to express creativity and imagination, and to engage in play and
social interaction with other children.
Children can learn a variety of skills and qualities from acting, including confidence,
creativity, communication skills, teamwork, and empathy. Acting can also help
children develop a better understanding of emotions and human behavior, and can
encourage them to explore and express their own thoughts and feelings.
Acting in theatre and in film can be quite different, as each medium presents its own
unique challenges and opportunities. In theatre, actors must perform live in front of
an audience, and may need to project their voices and movements in order to be
seen and heard from a distance. In film, actors may be required to perform multiple
takes of the same scene, and may need to convey emotions and nuances in a more
subtle way. Additionally, theatre productions may involve more rehearsal time and
longer runs, while film productions may require more flexibility and adaptability to
changing circumstances.
Many people find acting to be a fascinating and rewarding career, as it allows them to
explore different characters and stories, work with other creative professionals, and
engage with audiences in a unique and meaningful way. However, acting can also be
challenging and competitive, and may require a significant amount of dedication,
hard work, and perseverance to succeed.
6. Are there many people in your country who want to work as an actor or an
actress?
in many countries, there are often a significant number of people who are interested
in pursuing a career in acting. The level of competition and demand for acting jobs
can vary depending on the local industry and cultural factors, but many aspiring
actors and actresses are drawn to the creative and expressive opportunities that
acting can provide.
NOISE
1. Should children not be allowed to make noise under any circumstances?
While it's important for children to learn appropriate behavior and respect for
others, it's also important to remember that children are naturally curious and
energetic, and may make noise as a result. In some situations, such as in a library or
during a performance, it may be more appropriate to ask children to be quiet or to
move to a different location. However, in other situations, such as in a park or
playground, some noise and activity may be expected and even encouraged.
When chatting in public, people can consider others' feelings by being mindful of
their volume, tone, and content of their conversation. They can try to be aware of
their surroundings and avoid speaking loudly or using profanity or offensive
language. Additionally, they can be respectful of others' personal space and avoid
intruding on others' conversations or activities.
In many cases, cities are becoming noisier due to increasing levels of traffic,
construction, and urban development. Additionally, the rise of technology and
entertainment options can contribute to noise pollution, as people may use loud
speakers or headphones in public spaces.
To reduce traffic noise, cities can implement measures such as building sound
barriers along highways, enforcing speed limits and noise regulations, and
encouraging the use of public transportation or alternative modes of transportation
such as bikes or electric vehicles. Additionally, individuals can take steps such as using
noise-cancelling headphones or earplugs, installing soundproofing materials in their
homes or workplaces, or avoiding busy roads during peak traffic times.
It's difficult to predict the future of noise levels in the world, as this can depend on a
variety of factors such as technological advancements, urban development and
infrastructure, and environmental regulations. However, it's possible that noise levels
may continue to increase in some areas as populations grow and new sources of
noise pollution emerge.
ROUTINES
1. How do people's routines differ on weekdays and on weekends?
People's routines may differ on weekdays and weekends due to differences in work,
school, and social schedules. On weekdays, people may have more structured
routines that revolve around their work or school responsibilities, such as waking up
early, commuting to work or school, and adhering to a set schedule of classes or
meetings. On weekends, people may have more flexibility in their schedules and may
prioritize leisure activities or socializing with friends and family.
Having a learning routine can be beneficial for children, as it can help them develop
good study habits and time management skills. A routine can also help children stay
on track with their academic goals and responsibilities, and can provide structure and
consistency in their daily lives.
4. Do you agree that having a routine gives people more time to think?
Having a routine can potentially free up mental space and energy by reducing
decision-making and enabling individuals to focus on specific tasks or goals. This can
allow for more time and mental capacity for reflection and creative thinking.
Yes, there are people who do not like routine and may prefer more flexibility and
spontaneity in their daily lives. These individuals may find routines to be too
confining or limiting, and may prefer to approach tasks and responsibilities in a more
ad hoc or improvisational way.
SHARING NEWS
1. What kind of good news do people share in the community?
People may share a variety of good news in their communities, such as personal
achievements or milestones, positive developments in the community or local area,
or uplifting stories or events. Good news can also include acts of kindness or
generosity, inspiring stories of resilience or perseverance, or positive news related to
health, science, or the environment.
While it's important for the media to report on positive news and uplifting stories,
it's also important for the media to report on important issues and events, even if
they are not necessarily positive. A balanced and comprehensive approach to news
reporting can help provide a more accurate and informed view of the world, and can
help promote transparency and accountability.
Sharing something on social media can have both positive and negative effects,
depending on the content and context of the post. Sharing positive news or helpful
information can help spread awareness and promote positivity, while negative or
harmful content can have the opposite effect. Additionally, sharing personal
information or sensitive topics on social media can have privacy and security
implications, and should be approached with caution.
When children first go to school, parents can help prepare them by establishing a
routine and schedule for school days, talking to them about what to expect and
answering any questions they may have, and helping them develop basic skills such
as taking turns and following directions. Parents can also help prepare their children
for the social aspects of school by encouraging them to make friends and participate
in activities, and by teaching them social skills such as empathy, cooperation, and
conflict resolution.
Children can socialize with each other in a variety of ways, such as through play,
conversation, and shared activities. They may form friendships based on shared
interests or common experiences, and may engage in group activities such as sports,
games, or creative projects. Children may also learn important social skills through
their interactions with peers, such as cooperation, communication, and empathy.
Whether it's better to work in a big company or a small one can depend on an
individual's preferences and career goals. Working in a big company can offer
opportunities for professional growth and advancement, as well as access to
resources and benefits. However, big companies may also be more bureaucratic and
impersonal, and may offer less flexibility and autonomy. Working in a small company
can provide a more personal and collaborative work environment, as well as the
opportunity to take on a wider range of responsibilities. However, small companies
may offer fewer opportunities for advancement and may have more limited
resources.
Advantages of changing jobs can include opportunities for professional growth and
development, exposure to new challenges and experiences, and potentially higher
salaries or benefits. However, changing jobs can also have disadvantages, such as the
potential for a difficult transition period, the risk of encountering a toxic or
unsupportive work environment, and the possibility of losing seniority or benefits
from a previous job. Additionally, frequent job changes can raise questions about an
individual's stability and commitment to their career.
Many young adults may change jobs frequently in order to explore different career
paths, gain new experiences and skills, or find a more fulfilling or satisfying job.
Additionally, younger workers may be more open to taking risks and trying new
things, and may not feel as tied to a particular company or career path. However,
frequent job changes can also reflect a lack of job security or dissatisfaction with the
job market, and may have financial or professional consequences in the long term.
HAVING REST
1. Do you think there should be classes for training young people and children on
how to relax?
There can be benefits to offering classes for training young people and children on
how to relax. Learning relaxation techniques can help children and young adults
manage stress and anxiety, improve their mental and physical health, and promote
overall well-being. Additionally, relaxation techniques can be useful for improving
focus and concentration, which can be beneficial for academic or personal success.
There are many benefits to regular exercise, including improved physical health,
increased energy, reduced risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and
diabetes, and improved mood and mental health. Exercise can also help improve
sleep quality, promote weight management, and improve cognitive function and
memory.
3. Which is more important: mental relaxation or physical relaxation?
Both mental and physical relaxation are important for overall health and well-being.
Physical relaxation can help reduce tension and stress in the body, improve sleep
quality, and promote healing and recovery. Mental relaxation can help reduce stress
and anxiety, improve mood and emotional regulation, and promote cognitive
function and focus. The importance of each type of relaxation may depend on an
individual's specific needs and circumstances.
There are many reasons why some people may have difficulty relaxing, such as high
levels of stress or anxiety, a busy or demanding lifestyle, or underlying physical or
mental health conditions. Additionally, some people may struggle with relaxation due
to personal or cultural beliefs about rest and relaxation, or may have difficulty
disconnecting from technology and other distractions. Developing a regular
relaxation practice can take time and effort, and may require finding strategies that
work best for an individual's needs and preferences.
The answer to this question depends on the country and the individual's level of
language proficiency and cultural awareness. In some countries, there may be
language barriers or cultural differences that make communication with people from
other countries more challenging. However, in many countries, there are efforts to
promote cross-cultural communication and understanding, such as language
exchange programs, cultural events, and international travel.
2. How do people start a conversation?
There can be many reasons why some people may be unwilling to have conversations
with others, such as social anxiety, shyness, or a fear of rejection or judgment.
Additionally, some people may be more introverted or prefer to spend time alone,
and may not feel as comfortable in social situations. Cultural or language barriers can
also be a factor in making communication more difficult.
Talking with children can require a different approach and set of communication skills
than talking with adults. Children may have different interests, attention spans, and
communication styles than adults, and may require more patience, empathy, and
active listening. However, with practice and attentiveness, adults can learn to
communicate effectively with children and build meaningful relationships.
The answer to this question can vary depending on the area and culture. Some
popular places for meeting friends may include cafes, restaurants, bars, parks, or
cultural events such as concerts or festivals. Additionally, social media and online
communities can provide opportunities for people to connect with others who share
similar interests or hobbies.
ADVERTISING
1. What are the most advertised products in your country?
The most advertised products in a country can depend on a variety of factors, such as
the size of the market, the target audience, and the dominant industries. In many
countries, the most advertised products include consumer goods such as food and
beverages, personal care products, and technology products. Additionally, services
such as banking, insurance, and travel may also be heavily advertised.
The effectiveness of newspaper versus online advertising can depend on the target
audience, the goals of the campaign, and the context of the advertising. Online
advertising can offer targeted and measurable ads, with the ability to track
engagement and conversion rates. Newspaper advertising can offer a more
traditional and established approach, with a potentially wider but less targeted
reach. Both forms of advertising can be effective depending on the goals and context
of the campaign.
Advertising can offer a variety of advantages for businesses, such as increasing brand
awareness and recognition, building customer loyalty and trust, and driving sales and
revenue. Additionally, advertising can help businesses differentiate themselves from
competitors, target specific audiences, and establish a unique brand identity.
Advertising can also help create a positive image and reputation for a business or
product.
5. How does marketing make people choose particular goods and brands?
Marketing can influence people's choices by appealing to their emotions, needs, and
desires, and by offering a unique and compelling value proposition. Effective
marketing can create a sense of urgency or scarcity, highlight the benefits and
features of a product or brand, and establish a strong brand identity and reputation.
Additionally, marketing can leverage social proof and endorsements from satisfied
customers or influencers to build trust and credibility with potential customers.
BRINGING UP CHILDREN
1. Do you think there are too many rules for children to follow, whether at school or
home?
Well, rules can sometimes feel like a never-ending maze, can't they? While it's
important for children to learn boundaries and responsibility, a little flexibility and
spontaneity can go a long way in nurturing their creativity and independent thinking.
So, let's create a rulebook that strikes a balance between structure and the freedom
to explore and grow.
4. Do you think that parents should make decisions for their children?
Parents, the navigators of life! As children grow, it's important to let them spread
their wings and explore decision-making. While parents offer guidance based on
experience and love, let's encourage children to take the wheel and make decisions
that shape their own journeys. It's a dance of support and empowerment, my dear!
GETTING LOST
1. How can people find their way when they are lost?
When people are lost, they can do a few things to find their way back. They can look
for familiar places or things they recognize. If that doesn't work, they can ask people
nearby for directions or use their phone or a GPS device to get guidance.
2. Formal clothes are typically worn on special occasions or events that require a
higher level of dress code. This includes formal ceremonies, business meetings,
weddings, funerals, and upscale social gatherings. The specific occasions and cultural
norms can vary, but generally, formal attire is appropriate when a more elegant and
sophisticated look is expected.
3. Whether people should wear formal clothes in the workplace depends on the
industry, company culture, and professional standards. In some professions, such as
law, finance, or high-level corporate settings, formal attire is expected to convey
professionalism and respect. However, in more casual or creative workplaces, a more
relaxed dress code may be the norm. Ultimately, it's important for individuals to
adhere to their company's guidelines and dress appropriately for their specific work
environment.
4. People may choose to wear traditional clothes for various reasons, including
cultural pride, honoring their heritage, expressing identity, or participating in
traditional events and ceremonies. Traditional clothing often carries a sense of
history, symbolism, and a connection to one's roots. It can also be a way to celebrate
cultural diversity and preserve traditional craftsmanship and artistry.
5. While it's not a universal rule, many older people do tend to change their style of
dressing over time. As individuals age, their fashion preferences and priorities may
shift. Factors such as comfort, practicality, and personal style can play a role in
clothing choices. Some older people may prefer looser-fitting, more relaxed garments
or opt for clothing that is easier to put on and take off. However, it's important to
remember that style choices vary greatly among individuals, and there is no one-size-
fits-all approach to how older people dress.

understanding, appreciation, and respect for different cultures.
3. Students who have taken a gap year have chosen to take time off from their

on. Both options have their own merits and can be fulfilling in different ways.
12. Preferences for visiting popular or less-known places differ among
individuals. Some people enjoy visiting popular tourist destinations to
experience iconic landmarks, cultural highlights, and well-known attractions.
Others prefer exploring less-known places to discover hidden gems,
experience authentic local culture, and avoid crowds. It depends on individual
interests and the desire for unique or more mainstream experiences.
13. The preference for long or short trips depends on personal circumstances,
available time, and individual travel goals. Some people enjoy long trips that
allow for in-depth exploration, immersion in the local culture, and a slower
pace of travel. Others may opt for shorter trips that fit better with their
schedules, offer a quick getaway, or focus on specific destinations or activities.

games also help children develop a sense of belonging, build friendships, and
enhance their ability to handle both success and failure as part of a group.
Additionally, team games can teach children important life skills such as
leadership, problem-solving, and resilience.
6. Being ambitious can have both positive and negative aspects for a child.
Ambition, when channeled in a healthy and balanced way, can motivate
children to set goals, work hard, and strive for excellence. It can foster a sense
of purpose, determination, and personal growth. However, it is important for
parents and caregivers to guide children in developing realistic expectations,
emphasizing the importance of effort and perseverance, and ensuring that
ambition does not lead to excessive pressure, stress, or neglect of other
important aspects of life, such as well-being and relationships. Balancing
ambition with well-rounded development and a focus on the child's overall
happiness and fulfillment is crucial.

opportunities for physical activity, mental stimulation, social interaction,
and skill development. They can enhance cognitive abilities such as
problem-solving, critical thinking, and decision-making. Games also
promote creativity, imagination, and self-expression. Additionally, playing
games can foster social skills, teamwork, sportsmanship, and the ability to
follow rules. Games offer a space for children to have fun, explore their
interests, and learn important life lessons such as resilience, perseverance,
and coping with both success and failure. However, it is important to
ensure a balanced approach, where playtime is appropriately balanced with
other aspects of a child's life, such as education, responsibilities, and rest.
SHOPS
1. How important are price and quality in influencing consumer behavior?
Price and quality are both important factors that influence consumer behavior. When
making purchasing decisions, people often consider the price of a product or service
and weigh it against the perceived quality. Many consumers look for a balance
between affordability and the quality they expect. A lower price can attract budget-
conscious individuals, while higher quality may justify a higher price for others.
Ultimately, the importance of price and quality varies among individuals and
depends on their personal preferences, financial situation, and the specific product
or service in question.
Location can indeed play a significant role in attracting customers. A convenient and
easily accessible location can make a business more visible and increase the
likelihood of potential customers walking in. Being located in a busy area with high
foot traffic can expose a business to a larger customer base. Additionally, proximity to
other popular establishments or attractions can also draw customers who are already
in the area. However, while location is important, it's not the only factor that
influences consumer behavior. Factors such as product quality, reputation, marketing
efforts, and customer reviews also play crucial roles in attracting and retaining
customers.
In my city, there are various types of popular shops that cater to different consumer
preferences. We have a mix of large department stores and shopping malls that offer
a wide range of products and brands. Additionally, specialty stores and boutiques are
quite popular, especially those focused on fashion, accessories, and home decor.
There are also grocery stores and supermarkets that provide convenience for
everyday shopping needs. In recent years, online retailers and e-commerce platforms
have gained popularity as well, offering the convenience of shopping from home.
Ultimately, the popularity of different types of shops in a city can be influenced by
factors such as demographics, local trends, and consumer preferences.
Young people often enjoy going to boutiques for several reasons. Boutiques often
offer unique and carefully curated selections of clothing, accessories, or niche
products that cater to specific styles or trends. This can appeal to young shoppers
who are looking for distinctive and individualistic options that stand out from
mainstream fashion. Additionally, boutiques often provide a more personalized and
intimate shopping experience, with attentive customer service and assistance in
finding the right styles or outfits. The ambiance and aesthetics of boutiques, with
their stylish store designs and attention to detail, can also create a pleasant and
visually appealing shopping environment. Lastly, young people may appreciate the
sense of discovery and novelty that boutiques offer, as they often showcase
emerging designers, limited-edition items, or local talent. This allows young shoppers
to stay ahead of trends and express their unique sense of style.
INVENTIONS
1. Do all inventions bring benefits to our world?
Not all inventions bring benefits. While many improve our lives, some have negative
consequences or unintended side effects. It's important to consider the potential
impacts and implications of inventions to ensure overall benefits to society.
Important inventions in the past 100 years include the internet, personal computers,
antibiotics, renewable energy technologies, and medical advancements. These have
transformed communication, computing, healthcare, and energy sources.
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATIONS
1. Do you think driverless cars will be the future of cars?
Hmm, it's hard to say for sure, but driverless cars definitely have the potential to
shape the future of transportation. They offer exciting possibilities like increased
safety, less traffic congestion, and improved fuel efficiency. However, there are still
some challenges to overcome before they become widespread, like perfecting the
technology and addressing legal and ethical considerations. So, while they hold
promise, only time will tell if they truly become the norm.
There are quite a few jobs that rely on good driving skills. Some examples include taxi
or rideshare drivers, delivery drivers, truck drivers, bus drivers, emergency service
drivers, and chauffeurs. These jobs involve operating vehicles to transport people,
goods, or provide essential services, so being a competent driver is crucial.
A good driver needs a mix of skills and qualities to navigate the roads safely. They
should have good judgment and decision-making abilities, staying focused and alert
while driving. Patience and tolerance are important too, as dealing with traffic and
other drivers can be stressful. Knowledge of traffic laws, quick reflexes, and spatial
awareness are also essential for safe driving. And let's not forget about being
responsible and avoiding distractions while behind the wheel.
Public transport brings several benefits to the world. For one, it helps reduce traffic
congestion by moving a lot of people in a single vehicle, which means fewer cars on
the road. Public transport also contributes to a cleaner environment by emitting
fewer pollutants compared to individual cars. It's often more cost-effective too, as
you don't have to worry about fuel, parking fees, or maintenance expenses. Plus, it
promotes accessibility for everyone, regardless of whether they own a car or not. It
helps connect communities, encourages social interactions, and can even influence
urban planning for more sustainable cities. And of course, public transport tends to
have safety measures in place, making it a reliable and secure mode of
transportation.
BOOKS
1. Do you think reading books can make people happier?
Yes, reading books can indeed contribute to happiness. Books have the power to
transport readers to different worlds, spark imagination, and evoke various
emotions. They provide an escape from daily routines and allow people to explore
different perspectives and experiences. Reading can be a form of relaxation and
stress relief, providing a much-needed break from the demands of everyday life.
Additionally, books can inspire personal growth, promote empathy and
understanding, and offer a sense of fulfillment and intellectual stimulation. Overall,
reading books has the potential to bring joy and enhance well-being.
E-books have made reading more accessible and convenient for many people. With
e-books, readers can carry an entire library in a single device and have instant access
to a wide range of titles. The convenience of e-books, such as adjustable font sizes
and built-in dictionaries, can also make reading more comfortable and enjoyable for
some individuals. However, the impact of e-books on reading habits can vary from
person to person. While e-books have certainly increased access to reading
materials, some studies suggest that people's reading frequency and habits may not
necessarily change significantly. Ultimately, whether e-books increase reading
depends on the individual's preferences, habits, and the availability of other
distractions or activities competing for their time.
Children's reading preferences can vary widely based on their age, interests, and
individual preferences. However, popular categories of books for children include
picture books, fairy tales, adventure stories, fantasy books, animal stories, mystery
books, and books featuring beloved characters. Children often gravitate towards
books that are engaging, visually appealing, and relatable. Series books, such as
Harry Potter, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and Percy Jackson, have gained significant
popularity among children. It's important to remember that every child is unique,
and their reading preferences may change as they grow and develop their own
interests.
Paper books and e-books offer different reading experiences. Paper books provide a
tactile experience with the physicality of turning pages, the smell of paper, and the
weight of the book in hand. They offer a sense of nostalgia and a visual aesthetic that
many readers appreciate. On the other hand, e-books are digital versions of books
that can be read on electronic devices like e-readers, tablets, or smartphones. E-
books offer the convenience of carrying multiple books in a single device, adjustable
font sizes, and the ability to highlight and search text. They also provide access to a
vast range of titles instantly.
POPULARUTY
1. Do you think the media is putting too much attention on famous people?
Yes, many people believe that the media often places an excessive amount of
attention on famous individuals. It seems that the media is more interested in
covering the lives of celebrities, their relationships, and their personal affairs rather
than focusing on more important news and issues. This can create a skewed sense of
priorities and lead to a culture where fame and celebrity status are overemphasized.
While there is a range of opinions on this matter, many people believe that
celebrities should possess genuine talent in their respective fields. In fields like
acting, music, or sports, having demonstrable skills and abilities is typically expected
for individuals to gain recognition and maintain a successful career. However, it is
worth noting that the definition of talent can vary, and in some cases, individuals
may achieve fame through other means such as reality TV or social media presence,
where talent may not be the primary factor.
Popularity at work can depend on several factors. People who are well-liked and
popular at work often exhibit qualities such as strong interpersonal skills, being
approachable and friendly, and having a positive attitude. They are often effective
communicators, good team players, and show genuine interest in collaborating with
their colleagues. Additionally, individuals who consistently demonstrate competence,
professionalism, and a strong work ethic tend to gain popularity and respect in the
workplace.
When a child is popular at school, there can be several benefits for them. These can
include:
- Social connections: Popular children tend to have a larger social network, which can
provide them with a sense of belonging, support, and opportunities for friendships
and social activities.
- Increased self-esteem: Being popular can positively impact a child's self-esteem and
self-confidence. The recognition and acceptance from peers can help them develop a
positive self-image and belief in their abilities.
- Opportunities for leadership: Popular children often have the chance to take on
leadership roles within school activities or groups. This can help them develop
valuable skills such as communication, teamwork, and decision-making.
- Enhanced social skills: Interacting with a wide range of peers can help popular
children develop strong social skills, including empathy, cooperation, and conflict
resolution. These skills can benefit them in various aspects of their lives, including
future relationships and career paths.
MOVIES
1. Why are Japanese animated films so popular?
Japanese animated films, also known as anime, have gained popularity worldwide for
several reasons. One key factor is the unique art style and visual storytelling
techniques employed in anime. The distinctive animation, vibrant colors, and
attention to detail often captivate viewers. Additionally, anime covers a wide range of
genres, including fantasy, science fiction, romance, and action, catering to diverse
audience interests.
The question of whether actors should be paid more is subjective and can elicit
different opinions. The issue of compensation in the entertainment industry is
complex, and there are arguments on both sides.
Some argue that actors should be paid more due to their significant contributions to
the success of films and TV shows. They contend that actors undergo extensive
training, work long hours, and often face a high level of scrutiny and pressure.
Additionally, actors can bring in large audiences and generate substantial revenue for
productions, making higher compensation justifiable.
3. Do you believe in movie reviews?
movie reviews can provide valuable insights and perspectives for individuals who are
considering watching a film. Reviews can offer analysis of the film's storytelling,
performances, cinematography, and other elements. They can also highlight
potential strengths and weaknesses, helping viewers make informed decisions about
which movies to watch.
However, it's important to recognize that movie reviews are subjective and reflect
the opinions of the reviewers. Different people have different tastes and preferences,
so it's advisable to consider multiple reviews and sources to get a more
comprehensive understanding of a film before forming your own opinion.
Drama films that explore human emotions and relationships often resonate with
audiences. Science fiction and fantasy films attract fans of imaginative and
speculative storytelling. Additionally, animated films, both for children and adults,
have a dedicated fan base.
5. Do you think films with famous actors and actresses would be so popular?
The presence of famous actors and actresses in films can certainly contribute to their
popularity. Well-known performers often have a dedicated fan base that follows their
work and supports their movies. Their involvement in a project can generate
excitement and anticipation among audiences.
However, a film's success is not solely dependent on the fame of its actors and
actresses. Factors such as the quality of the storytelling, direction, and production
values also play significant roles. A compelling story, skilled filmmaking, and positive
word-of-mouth can attract audiences regardless of the cast.
Children can contribute in various ways depending on their age and abilities. They
can assist with household chores, such as tidying up their rooms, setting the table, or
helping with basic cooking tasks. They can also lend a hand in caring for younger
siblings or pets. Additionally, children can engage in community service activities,
such as participating in neighborhood clean-ups, supporting local charities, or
volunteering at events. Their creativity and enthusiasm can also be harnessed for
fundraising initiatives or creating handmade items to donate to those in need.
Volunteers often experience personal growth and fulfillment through their service.
By helping others, they develop a sense of purpose and satisfaction, knowing they
are making a positive impact on individuals or communities. Volunteers can also gain
new skills, expand their social networks, and build relationships with like-minded
individuals. Additionally, volunteering offers opportunities for personal development,
such as enhancing empathy, compassion, and leadership abilities. Overall,
volunteering can foster a sense of connectedness, boost self-esteem, and provide a
deeper understanding of the world and the needs of others.
High-school students can support each other in various ways. They can form study
groups to collaborate on academic assignments and share knowledge. Peer tutoring
or mentoring programs can be established, where older students help younger ones
with their studies or provide guidance on navigating school life. Students can also
organize extracurricular clubs or activities that promote inclusivity and provide a
supportive environment for their peers. By fostering a strong sense of community
and camaraderie, high-school students can create a positive and empowering
atmosphere for everyone.
Encouraging children to help others can be done in several ways. It's essential to lead
by example and demonstrate acts of kindness and generosity ourselves. Engaging
children in age-appropriate volunteer activities, such as participating in community
projects or supporting local charities, can make them aware of the needs of others
and the positive impact they can have. Incorporating empathy and compassion into
their education and teaching them about different cultures and experiences can also
foster a sense of understanding and encourage them to help those in need.
Furthermore, recognizing and praising their efforts when they exhibit kindness or
assist others can reinforce and encourage their helpful behaviors.
Teaching children about the importance of donating money to support those in need
can cultivate a sense of empathy and social responsibility. It helps them understand
that their contributions, no matter how small, can make a positive difference in the
lives of others. By involving children in discussions about various causes and
explaining where their donations go, they develop a greater understanding of
societal issues and the power of collective action. However, it's equally important to
teach children that donating money is just one way to help, and that acts of kindness,
volunteering time, and offering support in other ways are also meaningful and
valuable.
Living in the city and the countryside offer distinct lifestyles and environments. In the
city, there is typically a fast-paced and bustling atmosphere with a wide range of
amenities, cultural attractions, and employment opportunities. City dwellers often
have access to public transportation, diverse dining options, and a vibrant social
scene. On the other hand, the countryside offers a quieter and more serene setting,
surrounded by nature. Residents in rural areas often enjoy a sense of community,
more spacious living, and a closer connection to the natural environment.
To reduce the stress of city life, individuals can adopt various strategies. Engaging in
regular exercise and outdoor activities can help promote physical and mental well-
being. Seeking out green spaces, such as parks or gardens, for relaxation and
recreation can provide a respite from the urban environment. Practicing mindfulness
techniques, such as meditation or deep breathing exercises, can help manage stress
and promote a sense of calm. Additionally, maintaining a healthy work-life balance,
nurturing social connections, and pursuing hobbies or interests can all contribute to
reducing the stress associated with city living.
ADVENTURES
1. What kind of personality should people have to experience a lot of adventures?
People who are open-minded, curious, and willing to step out of their comfort zones
are often more inclined to experience a lot of adventures. Having a sense of
adventure requires a certain level of spontaneity, a willingness to take risks, and an
embrace of uncertainty. Individuals who possess qualities such as adaptability,
resilience, and a thirst for new experiences are more likely to seek out and enjoy
adventurous pursuits.
2. Will experiencing adventures broaden people's horizons?
Adventure novels tend to attract a wide range of readers. Many people who enjoy
adventure novels are drawn to the excitement, suspense, and thrill of embarking on
thrilling journeys through the pages of a book. Adventure novels often appeal to
individuals who have a sense of wanderlust, a love for exploration, and a desire for
escapism. Readers who appreciate the blend of action, mystery, and discovery are
often drawn to the genre.
Preferences can vary among individuals, but some people may enjoy both reading
adventure novels and watching adventure movies. Both mediums offer unique ways
of immersing oneself in thrilling narratives. Reading adventure novels allows readers
to engage their imagination, visualize the scenes, and create their own mental
images of the story. On the other hand, watching adventure movies provides a visual
spectacle, with action sequences, stunning cinematography, and the added
dimension of sound and music. Ultimately, the preference between reading
adventure novels and watching adventure movies often comes down to personal
interests, time availability, and individual storytelling preferences.
5. What kinds of people do not like adventures?
2. What important decisions do young people need to make after the completion of
high school?
After completing high school, young people often face several important decisions.
Some common ones include:
Yes, advertisements have the potential to influence our decisions when shopping.
Advertisements are designed to capture attention, create desire, and persuade
consumers to purchase products or services. Through various techniques, such as
appealing visuals, compelling storytelling, celebrity endorsements, and limited-time
offers, advertisements can shape consumer preferences and influence purchase
decisions. However, the extent of this influence can vary depending on factors such
as personal values, critical thinking skills, individual susceptibility to marketing
tactics, and the presence of competing information or alternatives.
Advertising can have both positive and negative impacts on people. On the positive
side, advertising can inform consumers about new products or services, educate
them about features and benefits, and help them make informed choices. It can also
contribute to economic growth by promoting businesses and stimulating consumer
spending. However, there are potential negative impacts as well. Excessive or
misleading advertising can create unrealistic expectations, foster materialistic
attitudes, and contribute to the overconsumption of goods or services. Additionally,
vulnerable populations, such as children, may be more susceptible to manipulative
advertising tactics. It's important for individuals to be critical consumers, aware of
the persuasive nature of advertising and make decisions based on their own needs
and values.
MONEY
1. Well, I think children can learn about money from both school and their parents.
Schools can teach them some basic financial literacy skills, but parents also play a
crucial role in teaching practical money management and instilling good saving
habits.
2. Saving money can be tough for some people due to various reasons. High
expenses, low income, impulsive spending habits, and a lack of financial literacy can
all make it challenging to save. It takes discipline and planning to overcome these
hurdles and develop a habit of saving.
3. The best way to save money really depends on individual circumstances and goals.
However, some common strategies include creating a budget, setting savings goals,
cutting unnecessary expenses, and automating savings through automatic transfers.
It's important to find a method that works for you and aligns with your financial
situation.
4. Giving children pocket money can be a great way to teach them about money
management and responsibility. It allows them to learn how to make choices and
prioritize their spending. Of course, the amount and age at which children start
receiving pocket money can vary based on individual family dynamics and values.
WATER ACTIVITIES
1. The characteristics of goods transported by water can vary depending on the type
of goods being transported. For example, water transportation is commonly used for
bulk goods such as raw materials, grains, and fuel due to the large carrying capacity
of ships and barges. Water transport also enables global connectivity, as it provides
access to international trade routes and allows for the transportation of goods
between different countries and regions. Additionally, water transport is often cost-
effective for long-distance transportation, as it generally requires less fuel compared
to other modes of transportation like air or road transport. However, one downside is
that water transport can be slower compared to other modes, which may not be
suitable for time-sensitive or perishable goods.
2. People are often drawn to living near water for various reasons. One common
reason is the aesthetic appeal of being close to rivers, lakes, or oceans. Water bodies
can provide beautiful scenic views and create a serene and calming environment.
Additionally, living near water offers easy access to recreational activities such as
swimming, boating, fishing, and water sports, which many people enjoy. The
proximity to water can also contribute to a sense of tranquility and relaxation,
promoting a higher quality of life for those who appreciate water-related activities or
find solace in nature. Furthermore, coastal areas often provide economic
opportunities such as tourism, fishing, and maritime industries, which can attract
people to live nearby. Overall, the reasons why people like to live near water can be
influenced by personal preferences, lifestyle choices, and the benefits that water
environments offer.
4. Learning to swim in schools can have several advantages. It promotes water safety
by teaching children essential swimming skills and water survival techniques. This
can help prevent accidents and drownings, particularly in regions with abundant
water bodies. Learning to swim at a young age can also instill confidence and provide
opportunities for physical activity and recreation throughout life. However, the
availability and inclusion of swimming lessons in schools can vary depending on
factors such as regional policies, resources, and cultural practices. It's important to
ensure that swimming lessons are accessible and inclusive for all students, taking
into account individual abilities, preferences, and safety considerations.
COMMUNICATION
1. People from all walks of life give speeches depending on the situation. You might
see politicians giving speeches to rally support or convey their policies. Activists often
deliver speeches to raise awareness about social or environmental issues. Business
leaders may give speeches to inspire their teams or present strategies. Educators give
speeches to share knowledge and engage students. Public figures, celebrities, and
athletes give speeches at events or ceremonies. Motivational speakers specialize in
delivering speeches to inspire personal growth and success.
2. Both being a communicator and a listener have their own merits. Being a good
communicator allows you to express your ideas effectively, engage others, and make
an impact with your words. It gives you the power to influence and connect with
people. On the other hand, being a good listener is equally valuable. It shows respect
and empathy towards others, allowing you to understand their perspectives and
build stronger relationships. Listening helps you absorb information, learn from
others, and foster meaningful conversations. Ultimately, the balance between being
a communicator and a listener depends on the context and the goal of
communication.
3. A good communicator possesses several personal qualities. They are clear in their
communication, able to express their ideas coherently and make complex concepts
understandable. They also have empathy, which helps them understand and connect
with their audience on an emotional level. Active listening is another important
quality, as it allows them to truly understand others and respond appropriately. Good
communicators are adaptable, adjusting their communication style to fit different
audiences and situations. Confidence is also key, as it allows them to speak with
conviction and credibility. Lastly, they understand the importance of non-verbal
communication, using body language, facial expressions, and tone of voice
effectively.
QUEUES
1. Scenic spots that often have long queues of people can vary depending on their
popularity and the time of year. Some places that come to mind are famous theme
parks like Disneyland or Universal Studios, where people line up for hours to
experience popular rides and attractions. Landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower or the
Statue of Liberty can also have long queues, especially during peak tourist seasons. In
some cases, natural wonders like the Grand Canyon or Machu Picchu can attract
large crowds, leading to queues at entrance points or popular viewpoints.
Additionally, museums and art galleries with world-renowned collections, such as the
Louvre or the Metropolitan Museum of Art, often have queues of people waiting to
get in and see the exhibits.
2. Living on a lower floor can have some disadvantages. One potential drawback is
the lack of privacy, especially if your windows are easily accessible to people passing
by. Ground-floor or lower-level apartments may also be more susceptible to noise
from the street, foot traffic, or nearby amenities. Additionally, living on a lower floor
may limit the amount of natural light that enters your living space, especially if there
are tall buildings or obstacles blocking the sunlight. Another consideration is the
potential for increased vulnerability to certain risks, such as the risk of flooding in
areas prone to heavy rainfall or the inconvenience of dealing with pests or insects.
However, it's important to note that these disadvantages can vary depending on the
specific location and building design.
3. The phenomenon of people queuing in restaurants for more than an hour can be
seen from different perspectives. Some people may view it as a testament to the
restaurant's popularity and the quality of their food or service. They might be willing
to wait in line because they believe it's worth it for the dining experience they will
have. On the other hand, others might see it as a negative aspect, perceiving it as a
waste of time or an inconvenience. It can be frustrating to wait for an extended
period, especially if there are limited alternatives or if the queue management is
inefficient. Overall, people's opinions on queuing in restaurants can vary based on
their priorities, patience levels, and expectations regarding dining experiences.
4. Living in a high floor of a building can have several advantages. One notable
benefit is the potential for better views. Being higher up can offer panoramic views of
the surrounding area, whether it's a city skyline, scenic landscapes, or bodies of
water. High floors are also often associated with less noise pollution from street-level
activities, making it a quieter living environment. Additionally, living in a high floor
may provide more privacy, as there are fewer opportunities for passersby or
neighboring buildings to have a direct line of sight into your living space.
Furthermore, high floors often receive more natural light, which can create a brighter
and more uplifting atmosphere inside the apartment. However, it's important to
consider factors such as elevator accessibility, potential issues during power outages,
and personal preferences for proximity to ground-level amenities when deciding on
the advantages of living in a high floor.
CAREERS
1. Yes, I believe it is important for secondary schools to offer career advice to
students. Secondary school is a crucial stage in a student's life when they start
thinking about their future and potential career paths. Providing career advice helps
students make informed decisions about their educational and vocational choices. It
can expose them to various career options, provide insights into different industries,
and help them understand the skills and qualifications required for different
professions. Career guidance can also assist students in setting goals, planning their
academic paths, and exploring opportunities for further education or training.
2. The most popular professions among young people can vary from country to
country and over time. However, in many countries, some professions tend to attract
young individuals. In my country, for example, technology-related fields such as
software development, data science, and artificial intelligence are popular choices.
Entrepreneurship and startup ventures also appeal to many young people who are
passionate about innovation and creating their own businesses. Additionally, careers
in healthcare, including nursing, medicine, and allied health professions, continue to
be popular due to the demand for healthcare services. It's important to note that
these trends can change based on factors such as economic conditions, cultural
influences, and emerging industries.
3. Determining which jobs deserve higher salaries can be subjective and depends on
various factors. Generally, jobs that require extensive training, education, and
specialized skills often deserve higher salaries. Professions that involve significant
responsibilities, high levels of expertise, or are in high demand may also warrant
higher compensation. For example, doctors, engineers, pilots, and senior-level
executives often receive higher salaries due to the years of education, training, and
expertise required in their respective fields. Additionally, jobs that involve working in
challenging or risky environments, such as emergency responders or military
personnel, may justify higher salaries due to the nature of their work. Ultimately, the
value and worth of a job in terms of salary can be influenced by market demand,
supply of skilled professionals, societal priorities, and the economic landscape.
TRADITIONAL FESTIVALS
1. Yes, good food and drinks are often considered important elements of
celebrations. Food and drinks can enhance the festive atmosphere, bring people
together, and contribute to the overall enjoyment of the occasion. Sharing delicious
meals and drinks with family, friends, and loved ones can create a sense of unity and
joy during celebrations. In many cultures, specific dishes or traditional cuisine are an
integral part of festive traditions, adding cultural significance and meaning to the
celebration. So, while celebrations are not solely dependent on good food and
drinks, they certainly play a significant role in creating memorable and enjoyable
experiences.
2. Music often holds great importance in traditional festivals. It has the power to
evoke emotions, create a festive ambiance, and bring people together in a shared
cultural experience. Traditional festivals often have specific musical traditions
associated with them, such as ceremonial songs, dances, or musical performances.
Music can help preserve cultural heritage, pass down traditions from generation to
generation, and provide a sense of identity and belonging. Whether it's traditional
folk music, religious chants, or celebratory tunes, music adds depth and vibrancy to
traditional festivals, enhancing the overall experience and connecting people to their
cultural roots.
3. Celebrating traditional festivals can hold cultural, social, and personal importance.
Traditional festivals are often rooted in cultural heritage, history, and customs,
serving as a way to honor and preserve cultural identity. They provide an opportunity
for communities to come together, strengthen social bonds, and pass down
traditions and values to future generations. Traditional festivals can also bring joy,
excitement, and a sense of belonging to individuals participating in them. Moreover,
these celebrations often carry symbolic meanings, mark important milestones or
seasonal changes, and can serve as a reminder of cultural values, history, and shared
experiences. While the importance of celebrating traditional festivals can vary among
individuals and cultures, they often play a significant role in cultural continuity,
community cohesion, and personal connection to one's heritage.
