Everything else is inconvenient in the countryside.2.What do people living in the countryside like to do?I’m not too sure, but I guess, people live in the countryside tend to do whatever they like. Such as, mahjong or some farm work.3.What are the benefits of living in the rural areas?I mean, compare to the city, the air is always fresher in the countryside. There is also not so much pressure when it comes work or life.➢A family member that you are mostly close to (New)You should say:Who this person is;What this person looks like;What do you like to do with him/her;And explain why you are very close to this person.My favourite person in the family is definitely my grandma who not only has a great taste when it comes to clothes, but a charismatic personality. I mean, she is incredibly fashionable for her age. I was brought up by her, because at that time my parents were busy. She taught me a lot of knowledge and just how to be a good person. We often walk together after meal, especially in Summer then talk to each other about what happened during the day. What I appreciate the most about her is that she is very decisive and visionary. When we were arguing whether we should buy a big place with the money we had, she decided to buy it without any hesitation because she said “a better quality of life can inspire you to become even better people.” And that’s why I respect her so much可以通⽤于Someone you admire who is much older than youYou should say:Who this person is;How you know this person;What kinds of things you like to do together;And explain how you feel about this personThe person who inspires me the most is definitely my grandma.

But seriously though, I think a long walk to unwind myself is the best option, preferably on a beach with my headphones on and isolate myself from the environment a little bit. I’m pretty stressed out because of the whole preparation for overseas study. Not only is it time-consuming but emotionally draining as well.You know people often say that we should always communicate with loved ones about things in life, and I agree, sometimes. Because being alone, to me, can be therapeutic too. I mean, you have all the time in the world to go through everything without any outside influence, interference. It’s where you can completely trust your own instinct. Or simply, walk past buildings, old alleys, just enjoy our surroundings. I’ve always been a fan of walking, my head is much more clearer, my body is in motion, it’s a great cardio exercise. Even more importantly, I won’t get tired. Although most of my friends would choose to hang out to relax themselves. I would absolutely feel calm and collected after a long walk.➢A long walk you ever hadYou should say:When this happenedWhere you walkedWho you were withAnd explain how you felt about the walk.I’ve always been a fan of walking, to be honest. I think a long walk to unwind myself is incredibly effective, my head is much more clearer thanks to it and my body is always in motion, it’s a great cardio exercise. Even more importantly, I won’t get bored or tired.Last time I took a long walk, it was after I finished my IELTS course. It was such a stressful period because of the whole preparation for overseas study. Not only was it time-consuming but emotionally draining as well. So I decided to walk along the bustling streets of Xi’an all by myself with my headphones on. You know how people often say that we should always communicate with loved ones about things in life, and I agree, sometimes. Because being alone, to me, can be therapeutic too. I mean, you have all the time in the world to go through/think about everything without any outside influence, interference. It’s where you can completely trust your own instinct. It was basically like, I wanted to isolate myself from the environment a little bit, at the same time I can walk past buildings, old alleys, and just enjoy our surroundings.I walked for several hours until late in the evening, that walk was way over 10 kilometres. By the time I arrived at home, I was calm and collected once again.I haven’t felt that sense of peacefulness in ages/in a long time.➢A new skill that you want to learn moreYou should say:What it isHow would you learn itWhere you can learn itAnd explain why you want to learn it.To me, any skill is difficult to learn, I mean it takes time and effort to achieve success. And I love to learn lots of things for example, web-design, and of course cooking simply because I will be starting my oversea life on my own soon. Besides, it’s ridiculously/incredibly fun. My grandma always tells me, first of all, in order to prepare a dish, you have to make sure the freshness of your ingredients. There are specific tools that you need to use as well, kitchenware such knives, wok or pan depending on the food. Not to mention, the technical part of cooking, to name a few, seasoning, control of time and temperature. I will still need my favourite family-owned recipe from my grandma. It’s for a traditional Jiang Xi dish called 3 Cup Chicken which by the way is mouth-wateringly delicious. I hope I can learn patience, discipline, even more importantly, not afraid of trying and failing from this cooking experience. ➢An important festival in your country (New)You should sayWhat it celebrates forWhen it isWhat kinds of things people doAnd explain why it is importantThere are quite a lot of traditional festivals in China all year round, some of which I can't even name. That is why I'd like to talk about the mid-autumn festival, also known as the moon cake festival for a foodie like myself.It occurs on the 15th of August of the lunar calendar when the moon appears to be the "roundest". Apparently, it symbolises the reunion of families, you know, how everybody circles back to where they begin. Anyways, what makes the mid-autumn festival special for me is because my cousin’s birthday is (coincidentally) the same day. We often joke that there’s no need to spend ridiculous amount of money to party or buy birthday cake for her instead our family can just sit and enjoy a great meal together then eat flavoured moon cakes. And if I'm not mistaken, poets from ancient China loved mid-autumn, they've written so many poems about it. Basically, mid-autumn festival emphasises the value - "family comes first" here in China. These days, it's a good opportunity for family members to catch up with each other, I think it's great.➢A house or apartment you want to live inYou should say:Where this place isWhat it is likeWhen you want to live in thereAnd explain why you want to live in such a place.I haven’t thought about my dream place, to be honest. But I’d like to, first of all, live as close as possible to my mom, simply because there’s no one else cooks better than her. Although, most of my friends love city life, you know, it’s super convenient to do whatever we like to do in the city, I still prefer living in a big house that at has 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and of course a garden. Usually, you don’t see many houses in downtown area which means I can have a relatively peaceful and quiet life in the suburbs.Since I’m a visual design major student. It is highly possible that I would use white as the main colour of paint. It’s a very modern colour that goes with everything. I love my furnitures to have an industrial style, practical at the sametime. Basically, like the ones from IKEA. I hope I can live in the house within 5 years, but I know it sounds absolutely unrealistic. It’s a nice dream to have.➢An experience of having dinner with friends in a restaurant (New)You should say:When and where you had the dinnerWho organised the dinnerWhat you had;And explain what you talk about over the dinner.I love eating out with not only my friends but my family as well. But one of the most memorable experience was a dinner after we finished our last high school exam. It was an emotional time because we didn’t know if we can see each again. We went to this Bistro like restaurant to eat traditional Jiang Xi food. My favourite dish is called three cup chicken which reminded of my grandmother. Because she has a secret, family-owned three cup chicken recipe. The dinner was actually organised by our teacher, she wanted us to remember the time we shared in high school and keep in touch even after we go our separate ways. My best friend, XXX, was at the dinner too, we talked a lot about friendship, some gossip, and that was it. To this day, we still communicate with each other.➢Describe a piece of local news that was interesting to youYou should say:What the news was aboutWhen&where you saw/heard at the newsAnd explain why it was interestingAs an uni student, I usually have lots of time on my hands. I spend most of my day in the dormitory with my roommates and we watch different/various types of news all the time. For example, my roommates love watching entertainment news about Korean pop stars, and reality shows. But I just watch whatever news that makes me happy. It was about last week, I saw a bizarre news about some tourists in a wild life zoo. A guy and his friends were visiting the land animals section of the zoo. An alpaca/llama walked right pass them, but the guy started to making fun and pointing at it while saying "eh , you stupid alpaca", then the magic happened, the alpaca spat right in his face as revenge. His friends can be heard laughing uncontrollably at him and I laughed so hard too.Because instant karma is always funny albeit very cruel to laugh at others’ misfortune. But since then, I fell in love with alpacas, they are majestic animals. ➢An article that you read from a magazine or from the Internet about healthy lifeYou should say:What the article wasWhen and where you read itHow it was related to healthy lifeAnd explain why it is good or bad articleThere are just way too many not only articles but tips about healthy life, ranging from “how to eat healthy“，”how to know if you have cancer by counting the moles on your skin”, even “5 things you need to do to live a longer life” on the internet. To me, they are all very distracting even misleading because I read one particular article about healthy lifestyle on a magazine called “A road to healthy life”. Obviously, it’s a magazine about quality of our lives. In a nutshell, the article basically said that a healthy life includes four incredibly important aspects - a balanced diet, enough exercise, good sleep and positive mindset. You know what I like about this article the most is that it’s very clear cut, on point, it was written in plain Chinese which means you don’t have to look up some of the words and so on, definitely one of the most informative piece of article about “green lifestyle” I’ve ever read.➢ Describe a time you watched the skyYou should sayWhen this happenedWho you were withWhat you sayAnd how you felt about watching the skyI remember when I was about six years old, maybe, my parents took me to the countryside for Summer holiday. I was really into watching the stunning sky especially at night. Sometimes I would sit in the grass for hours with father to watch the stars. Once I saw a star was moving slowly and I asked my dad about it. He said it was a satellite, but I still believe till this day it wasn’t true. That’s why the sky is super fascinating to me. As I grow up, it is not my hobbyanymore. Besides, I moved to a much more polluted city Xi’an compared to my hometown. Unfortunately, the sky is always grey, not as clean and blues as before. The stars are barely visible.➢A person who likes to travel by planeYou should say:Who this person is；How you know this person；Where this person travels to；And explain why this person likes to travel by plane.Personally, I think travel by air is very common for people these days, simply because air-travel is not only convenient but time-saving as well. I mean if people have busy schedule or travel long distance, it’s the best option. That’s why I’d like to talk about a member of my favourite K-pop band whose is name TOP. I feel that for a celebrity, it’s very understandable that they love travelling by air because they usually have an incredible amount of promotional work and also live shows all over world, taking the airplane would save him so much time. Plus, the service on the plane is much better than on other transportation. Even more importantly, it’s relatively easy to avoid chaos caused by paparazzi and fans at the airport because of high-level security. That’s why I think they love travelling by air.通⽤于➢A goal you’d like to achieve in the future (New)You should say:What it is;Why you would like to achieve that goal;Whether you can achieve the goal easily;And explain what you need to do to achieve the goal.通⽤于未来想成为的⼈I have lots of goals and dreams. But I have always wanted to be become a manager of my favourite K-pop star whose name is TOP. I know it sounds cliche and unrealistic but I truly admire TOP because, first of all, he’s absolutely genuine, honest despite the fact that he is a pretty huge star. Even more importantly, though, Top frequently uses his celebrity status to contributeto our society, for example, last time he was invited to a Korean National TV show and he helped raise money for “children with autism”. He leads a decent example of having a optimistic attitude towards life with music and lyrics. But then again, it really doesn’t if I can be his manager, because I want to a person who can inspire and affect others in most positive ways possible.➢A person in the news that you would like to meetYou should say:Who he or she is;Why did this person show up on TV;How you know this person;And explain why you want to meet them.The person I’d like to meet is without doubt a member of my favourite K-pop band Big Bang whose name is TOP. By the way, Big Bang a well known supergroup and has a huge following in not only Korean but the whole world. Top frequently uses his celebrity status to contribute to our society, for example, last time he was invited to a Korean National TV show and he helped raise money for “children with autism”. He leads a decent example of having a optimistic attitude towards life with music and lyrics. What I admire the most about him is that he is absolutely genuine, honest despite the fact that he is a pretty huge star. That’s why I think celebrities should inspire young people to always improve themselves and affect others in most positive ways possible and also why I hope to meet him.➢A person you know had made a contribution to the society （New）You should say:Who the person is；What the person did；How did you know that；And explain why you think it is a contribution to the society；➢A person whose job is important to the societyYou should say:Who this person is;What job does he or she have;How you know this person;And explain why his/her job is important to the societyFor me, celebrities are beneficial for our society, although most of my friends wouldn’t agree. TOP is a member of my favourite K-pop band Big Bang which is a well known supergroup and has a huge following in not only Korean but the whole world. Top frequently uses his celebrity status to contribute to our society, for example, he helped raise money for “children with autism”. He leads a decent example of having a optimistic attitude towards life with music and lyrics.
