examination that requires the use of pencils.
(Give a reason for your answer) I bought 3 pieces of pencils in case I may break one or two

could give for myself and that helped me stop thinking of problems that I might encounter while
taking the exam.

(Answer) Well, I use pencil more often as compared to pen.
(Give a reason for your answer) As a student, I need to jot our lessons down on my notebook.
When it comes to note taking, pencil is a more preferable choice. I have grown accustomed to
relying on pencil to write down things ever since high school and I find it very handy.
Strangely, I always outperform in examinations that require the use of pencils, so they are also
my lucky items.

individual always gives you a sense of contentment.

4. Why people like sweeties?

on the road never fail to capture my attention. It makes my mouth water just to think about all
the sweets displayed there.
2. (Do you like sweeties compared with you were a child?)
(Answer) When I was a child, I used candies and biscuits sparingly. However, the more I grow,
the more I am into sweets. Sweets are the one thing that keeps me going when things get tough.
The handmade ones are, to put it simply, edible happiness, cheaper antidepressants, and a quick
way to see the bright side of life if taken with moderation and provided you have enough self-
control.
3. (Have you ever tried to make sweeties?)

(Answer) Honestly, I have not.

(Give a reason for your answer) I have read the recipes for my favorite cakes sometimes but
they are by no means simple. However, I would love to try baking cookies or making mouse in
the future.
4. (Why people like sweeties?)

(Answer) Our bodies are naturally wired to crave sugar both for mental reasons and for physical
reasons. When we crave sugar, we are actually craving the nutrients that are found in fruit or
desserts. The mental craving comes from the serotonin – a neurotransmitter that gives us a sense
of well-being, and helps moderate our moods, sleep cycles and our appetite – which is released
after we consume a sweet food.

Vocabulary from Food:

 have a sweet tooth
Meaning: enjoy sugary food
Example: My brother has a sweet tooth and I’m afraid that he will become obese.
