are considering three kinds of restaurant to have meals out: A fast food restaurant,
a buffet restaurant, and a vegetarian restaurant. Which do you think is the best
option?

that, I can choose any food I like without to take a menu, it’s cheap, I can take just
enough of my meal without leaving any food waste and my friend they can easily
to order what they like. I don’t choose fast food restaurant because it is very oily
and it is not good for our health. I don’t choose vegetarian restaurant because it’s
picky for people to eat and it's also possible that some of my friends don't like
vegetarian food or don't know how to eat vegetarian food. So I think choosing a
buffet restaurant is the best thing for the party.
2. You are packing to go on a holiday. What is the most essential thing to take? You
can choose to take a smartphone, some clothes, and a first-aid kit.
=>I think the most essential thing to take is a smartphone because it can take
photos, make online payments, call friend and use maps to find direction. I don’t
choose some clothes because I can pack light. Picking outfits that can mixed and
matched. I don’t choose a first-aid kit because I can buy medical equipment at the
pharmacy or I think at the hotel I stayed at, they would have prepared those things
for first aid when we were injured. Therefore, I feel the phone is the most
necessary thing.
4. Your cousin is the best student of the class this year. His mother is thinking about
a present, there are three options: a laptop, a holiday, or some money. Which option
would you suggest to her?
=>If I were her, I would believe that a holiday is the best idea choice among three option:
laptop, holiday or some money because of this following reasons. Firstly, travel
broadems the mind. She is able to integrate with cultural activities, tradions and local
customs of place what she want to go. Secondly, not only does she offer many change to
travel through country or area in order to learn about it but also she can get time to relax.
Actually, I don’t choose a laptop because I belive it may distract her study. I don’t choose
some money because she will waste money for the wrong purposes and that will
also affect her. For all reasons I put above I will choose a holiday as the best
choice for her.
5. Your friend usually gets stressed out because he / she is having a difficult time at
work. Among the options: finding a new job, trying to have a hobby, and having a
holiday ,what piece of advice would you give him/her?

some reasons. Firstly, she will be able to relieve stress because she don’t have
to face difficult time at work in few days. Secondly, she can rest and relax
after stressful period of working . On the other hand, I don’t advise her to find
a new job because its difficult to start over. Besides, a stressful job will make
her difficult to have a hobby.
6. You are choosing a part-time job to practice English. Which of these jobs do you
find the most interesting: A telephone operator, a hotel receptionist or a tutor?

with foreign guests, helps me improve my listening and speaking skills, and helps
me behave better. I didn't choose to be a phone operator because I don't like having
to sit in one place to work. I also did not choose to be a tutor because I felt my
expertise was not good and it did not help me improve my skills. So I think it's the
best choice for myself.
7. Which would be the most comfortable place to live for a family with children: a
large city, a small town or quiet village?
=>I think the most comfortable place to live for a family with children is a big city
because it has a lot of good amenities, more entertainment centers, more modern
facilities and a good educational environment to help the child. Children develop
better. I don't choose a small town or a quiet village, it is also a good environment
but the child will not be provided with the best things for their development, will
not be able to improve their own understanding. So I think it's the best choice for
families with children.
8. Next summer you will have a vacation for 3 months. Which of the following places
would you choose to go: a beautiful beach, a mountain or the countryside?
=>Next summer I will have a vacation of about three months. I think I will choose
to go to a beautiful beach because it will help me relax after a stressful school year,
experience many new things, take many beautiful photos, Eat many delicious
seafood dishes and buy new clothes. I don't choose a mountain because I feel tired
and dangerous to myself. I also didn't choose to go to the countryside because I'm
an extrovert and I like to have a fun atmosphere. So I think going to a beautiful
beach is the best choice
9. Which of the following activities would be the most entertaining and enjoyable for
the holidays: going to the beach, going shopping or going to the cinema?
=>I think the most interesting activity on vacation is going to the beach because it
helps me relax, experience many new things, eat a lot of delicious food, take
beautiful photos and have more memories with my friends. or with my family. I
don't choose to go shopping or go to the movies because in the past months I could
go shopping or go to the movies during the weekends or when I have free time.
10. You have just received a sum of money as a birthday present. There are three
options: buying a laptop, buying a smartphone or saving for the future. How would
you use the money?

help me prepare lessons better during the study process, and be able to do many
other things. I did not choose to buy a smartphone because it was given to me by
