▮質問 1

Do you like to stay in a hotel?

サンプル回答

Yes, I do love staying at hotels. It might be the comfortable bed, or the defining features, like the swimming pool and good food. But I think what I love the most is the sense of relaxation it gives me. I mean, once I’m in a hotel, my mind instantly says that I made off from the office and that I’m supposed to relax now. I’ve basically conditioned myself to think that hotels are for vacations only. It’s utterly relaxing. I can check out the next day feeling more refreshed and invigorated to do all the work that I have left and go about my day to day life. Of course, it wasn’t always a great experience for me. I know not all hotels are created equal. There are places that I’m not really a big fan of. There are also some good places that I have been to, but something unexpected happened, and the bad memories override the happy ones. Still, I look forward to the next time I get to stay in a hotel, only this time I’m seriously saving up to stay at a high-end accommodation and experience living like royalty. It’s one of my goals in life. I’ll definitely make it come true sooner or later.

▮質問 2

Describe the best hotel that you’ve stayed in.
You should say

• where the hotel is

• who you were with

• what you like there

• and why you think it’s the best.

サンプル回答

One of my absolute favorite hotels was a local. It’s an affordable 3-star hotel. I came across this place when I was making for my distant relative’s home. I used to go there alone when I simply want to relax, or when I’m feeling down. I think people call it ‘staycation’ nowadays. Sometimes, I’d invite a few friends to stay the night, and we’d spend the weekend staying up late, or go swimming in the pool. And that’s actually one of the things I love the most about that hotel–their pool. I have visited a lot of hotels with swimming pools, but there are normally tons of people using it, so I’m not a big fan. However, in m favorite hotel, we almost have the pool to ourselves. Other guests are staying, but I don’t know why only a few tries swimming. I guess it works well for me since I can do several laps uninterrupted. It’s a really peaceful and energizing experience. Besides the pool, I definitely love their food. They have one of the best local pizzas I have tasted. The dough is cooked just right, and there are lots of toppings. I also love their pasta dishes, most especially their chicken pesto pasta. It’s absolutely delicious. I just can’t turn down good food and a relaxing place.

▮質問 2

Describe a movie that annoyed you. You should say

● what title of the movie is

● what movie is about

● where and when the movie was

● And why you don’t like the movie.

サンプル回答

Internet Hack is a disappointing movie. I strongly opposed to the movie plots. I think they are trying to change the mindset of people through this medium, but I don’t think they could get it across.

The story is about the responsible use of the internet. The lead cast was very lax with his security and privacy. Then someone got his information and eventually his identity and life. The culprit pretended to be him.

The story happens in the future, the year 2030 in the capital of New York, during that time, everyone can use the internet in a jiffy, and everyone with enough knowledge and skills in computer can get a person’s identity to do crime and get away with it.

For starters, I didn’t like that it wasn’t a happy ending. But what I hate the most was, the characters were so naïve and irresponsible. They were presented with a lot of options, yet they refused to adapt.

I think people behind the screen had exaggerated the movie that it’s no longer relatable. Well, it’s just my opinion.
