Describe an event in history in your country [The name of your country] is often widely acclaimed for its time-honored traditions and long periods of wars and battles. Off the top of my head, the most prominent one that stands out in my mind would be the victory of [August revolution in 1945], an event that marked a huge milestone in history: the peace and a brand new start of our country. Before the success of the revolution, people had to suffer from immense hardship. There were many lives sacrificed, mothers losing their sons in the meaningless battles, and the whole country was in a state of fear and instability. At the time, people lived in poor living conditions, burning the candles at both ends working for the landlord to earn a meager income, so their lives were miserable indeed. This historic event ushered in the new era for our country with no more wars and hunger. On top of that, people were liberated from their past sufferings, and given a chance to start a fresh life, with their own freedom and the right to rule their own country. In a nutshell, the victory of [August evolution in 1945] was truly a unforgettable turning-point for the people in my country.

What is the importance of history? Do you think history is important? Definitely yes, history has a significant role to play in our daily lives. Through historical lessons, people are more aware of their ancestors’ achievements and therefore appreciate the freedom and peace they are enjoying. 12.2. What is the importance of learning about history? Studying history enables us to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. History is illuminating and allows us to understand how past human actions influence the present and the future, it teaches us many lessons of life, therefore it helps us be able to think more logically and make sound judgments about current and future events. History enlightens future generations. Illuminate (verb) clarify 12.3. Do you think the internet is a good place to learn about history? It is true that the Internet is a good source of information and a means though which people can discover and learn more about the past history. However, it’s quite unpopular among people nowadays as more young people merely see the internet as a place to relax themselves. Therefore, TV programs or films, I suppose, are better alternatives. 12.4. Do you think people should be able to see historical exhibitions for free? Do you think museums should be free? To be honest, although charging a small amount of entrance fee will give the organizers funds to continue their operations and encourage the artists to produce more decent works, in my country, people seem to show no appreciation of artistic values. Therefore, the local authorities had better let people enter for free to arouse the public’s interests first and then, if people are interested, a small admission fee should be considered afterwards. Decent (adj) good 12.5. Do people like visiting museums and art galleries? Not everyone enjoys going to museums. Most of my friends are not interested in art, but I have a great passion for it. After I graduated, I began to enjoy taking trips to various art exhibits. Since then I have made a few friends that are artists, and now they invite me to their galleries quite often. 12.6. How can more people become interested in history? I’m not that sure, but I suppose the way it’s taught at school could be improved, and possibly made more interesting. So for example, instead of simply staying in the classroom, teachers could take students out more to visit historical sites and anything of historical relevance. So that’s one thing, and as well as this I guess, um..., increasing the amount of history documentaries on TV could also have a positive effect on developing people’s interest in history. 12.7. Would you say movies help people develop more interest in history? Yeah, I’d say they can, because after all, movies are quite vivid and so they make history come alive. And another thing is that a lot of people can’t be bothered to read a book about history, but they’d gladly go and watch a film about it, simply because movies are a bit more entertaining. So yeah, I’d say they generally do help people become more interested in history. Come alive (verb) If you make something come alive, you make it seem real and interesting 13. Describe a garden you visited and like. You should say - Where the garden is - How do you feel about it - Why do you like it As a citizen in a metropolitan city, I am usually partial to fresh outing spaces for relaxation after being up to my neck in work. The list of ideal places to visit is in fact pretty long but if I have to single out the most preferable one, I would probably pick the Queen Botanical Garden on the outskirt of my city.
