▮質問 1

Do you celebrate your birthday?




サンプル回答

In my family, we have a big celebration. My family, uncles, aunts, and cousins have dinner with us. Sometimes, some of our family members bring along our friends. I heard from my friends in other countries that they only bring home cake for the people at home. Not in my family, we have at least 4 different dishes, rice, cake, ice cream, and drinks to dig in It’s part of our culture and tradition that we celebrate the birth of a family member as part of thanking our creator of the life given. We also pray together, give gifts to the celebrant, and wish him or her well. Adults are pretty simple, but kids have more, like games, prizes, and all those It’s a day to celebrate, and I fully appreciate that my family and friends usually come to my birthday

I really like to play tag. In order to play the game, we need at least 3 people to join the game. One person tries to catch the other two . If he touches one of them, he should say, tag your it. Then the next person shall run after the others. I know it doesn’t sound fun, but the bigger the group, the better I used to play this when I was a child In our neighborhood, children went to the playground to play, and we played this. There are a lot of children there, so I got to meet a lot of people. We used to play this almost every day. We’d start around 3 pm until dusk It was so much fun. I don’t get the chance to do that now because I’m an adult I think even though I’d press upon them, they would see it childish. Yet despite all the games online games, mobile games, etc. I hope to introduce this game to my children and their friends so they can try this old school game.

▮質問 1

Have you had problems with your car?





サンプル回答

Funny that you asked because I just sold my car. It’s quite old and had a lot of things to fix. I decided a few months ago to let it go . The first time I got into a problem was when I was driving off out of the city. I was surprised that the car broke down. I tried to turn it back on, but I didn’t hear a single sound. I had to call my mechanic to pick me back and tow my car. It was in the shop that I found out that it ran out of battery. My mechanic said that it’s up for replacement. The second time was when I was trying to get rid of my sofa. I was almost at the garbage bin when, again, it doesn’t want to start. That was the last straw. The next month, it’s either I’d sell or throw it

But, with the family and the kids, SUV is better Seven people can get to sit comfortably inside . There’s a space if we have groceries or extra things. We are saving money to buy a good car. I’m helping my husband with the funds. I try to give as much as I can, though it’s a little challenging. We hope to purchase it by the end of the year. We are driving up our savings by selling things that are not important to us. We had garage sales and online selling. It was amazing! If I get hold of the SUV, I’m sure my family and friends will get on, and ask for a road trip

サンプル回答

A lot of schools require students to participate in a cleanup day It’s the time when we had to clean off everything. It’s not as bad as you might think because it was actually fun. I remember all the students were out in class and got their cleaning tools ready. Then, I heard teachers giving instructions on where to start and how to do things Usually, the teacher divided the class into groups like the window team, the table team, the chair team, etc. This sort of activity is given to promote hygiene and camaraderie among students It also encourages tactics and efficiency. At that time, I didn’t seem to agree because work and I simply didn’t blend in. But in retrospect, it makes sense. And don’t get me wrong, I didn’t like cleaning, but I liked the atmosphere of the activity. It was lively and exciting. Plus, I didn’t get to study! That was the best part I can remember.

Do you regularly save money?




サンプル回答


Yes, I actually save money regularly. The bank automatically transfers fund from my paycheck monthly. But I also often spend what I’ve saved up for a few months because of emergencies and lack of funds So, it looks like I haven’t saved any money, when I actually did Still, I was able to buy something that I’m proud of from the money that I had set aside for months. I don’t want to pay by credit card since I believe I’ll be in more debt So, I had to stop eating out and be a lot more thrifty I don’t buy anything I don’t need just to gather money for something that I really want, which I think is actually a good thing I can discipline myself to save But I guess I should still restrain myself more to save for the future, especially for my retirement. It’s been a wish of mine to buy my own home and to build a business when I’m a little older so I can stop working and focus on earning while I’m at home I also want to retire earlier and travel the world . I have so many goals, but I still don’t have anything saved for the long term, so I’m kind of a little frustrated with myself. That’s why I told myself that this time around, I’d create another account where I’ll set aside some of my money, and it will be for future, long term goals instead of new stuff or new gadgets.

Describe a time that you save money for something expensive. You should say:

  • what the thing is
  • how much it cost
  • how you come up with the money

And why you want to buy it




サンプル回答

One of the first times that I saved money for something was back when I wanted to get my own PlayStation.  I’ve always been a gaming fan ever since I was a kid, so I vowed to myself when I was younger that if I get a good job, I’ll set aside money to buy my gaming console It has also been such a long time since I was able to hold a game controller and relaxed and played for hours, and I wanted to try gaming again since I feel like it was able to help me when I was a little younger. When I’m stressed with school work, I will spend maybe a couple of hours playing, and it relaxes me I think it also helps me enhance my cognitive functions, as I have read that somewhere before Around that time, a PS 4 is still around 399 which was quite expensive So it was kind of a long while after I have collected enough money to get my own unit and a few games I have been dying to try I should also say that a game costs around 10 to 30 but it was a good thing that I was able to find second hand games, so I was able to save more money.  My work pays well, so I was able to set aside quite an amount I’ve also taken up freelance writing jobs since I liked to write a lot, and I figured I could use my talents and get paid.  Thinking back, I really made an effort to earn more I’d also do my best to be as thrifty as possible Instead of eating out, I’d cook my own food and do meal preps I also started to use energy saving light bulbs so I can save on my electricity bill.  I also didn’t go shopping for a long while I can’t help but be proud as I was able to restrain myself.
