Describe a future plan which is not related to work or study The significant development of transport has made traveling nowadays more easily and comfortably. Especially when you’re still young, the desire to know more about the world outside becomes even stronger. And I’m no exception. Traveling is definitely one of my goal before I’m 35. Although for now I’ve not yet thought of any specific countries or places, but I’m planning to have a perfect vacation with my lover after putting aside enough money. Firstly, I want to spend my vacation with my lover. It may sound a bit cheesy but things would be quite boring if I didn’t have someone to share with. Traveling is of course a good chance for us to make more memories. Moreover, as I suppose both of us prefer travelling by ourselves, having someone to assist you is necessary when it comes to new countries, especially in case you don’t speak the language or you’re not familiar with the culture. Quite and peaceful places with nice weather would be a perfect destination for me. So beaches, highland or countryside are on top of the list. For me traveling is such a perfect time to just let my hair down, recharge our own energy after working hard all year long, to get away from busy lifestyle of the concrete world and to enjoy some fresh air. Thus, instead of crazy shopping or stuck in traffic jam for hours, walking or cycling here and there and trying some local foods would be amazing. Finally the length of the vacation appears to be not so important to me as long as we can manage our time and health for work. Vocabulary To be no exception (adj): to be similar to other people To be on top of the list (adj): to be considered as the first priorities Let my hair down (idiom): relax All year long (phrase): the whole year Traffic jam (n): the situation when a large number of vehicles close together and unable to move or move slowly (peak hours) Here and there (phrase) in or to several different places QUESTIONS FOR PART 3 15.1. Which do you prefer? Having plans or having no plans? I have inclination for becoming organized and prepared for upcoming challenges. Drawing up a plan in advance can equip people with some knowledge when something unexpected comes up, or when everything just doesn’t go according to plan. Without a plan, people can feel at a loss and have nothing to fall back on when they are in the face of adversity. However, it should be pointed out that we shouldn’t get into too much detail, instead, just getting the picture as to what’s gonna happen and how plan can be developed is enough for us to tackle it. I mean that plan there are a lot of external circumstances which preclude our detailed plan from coming true; as a result, there is no need to be too precise. Have inclination for (phrase) have a feeling that you want to do something Draw up (phrasal verb) to prepare and write something such as a document or plan Equip somebody/something with something (phrase) to provide a person, object, or place with the things that they need for a particular purpose Come up (phrasal verb) if a problem comes up, it happens and needs to be dealt with immediately To be at a loss (phrase) unable to know how to act or what to do Fall back on (phrasal verb) to depend on something after a loss or failure Adversity (noun) a difficult period in your life in which you have many problems Point out (phrasal verb) to tell someone something In detail (phrase) including many facts or aspects of a situation Get the picture (idiom) understand something Preclude something from something (verb) if one thing precludes another, the first thing prevents the second one from happening Precise (adj) exact and accurate 15.2. Do you think most people can carry out their plans? I think only the minority have the ability to realize their plans. What need to be pointed out is that the majority tend to set up their plans in an ideal and perfect way without being aware of the fact that external circumstances can prevent them from being fulfilled. Some might end up being driven to a dead-end and feel at a loss as to what to do next. We should blame this on our inflexibility and inexperience, rather than regarding the plan as a bad one. At the end of the day, what counts most is our capacity and experience to make our intentions come true, not just preparing a detailed plan beforehand. Blame something on someone/something (verb) to say or think that someone or something is responsible for an accident, problem, or bad situation Inflexibility (noun) no willingness to change your ideas, beliefs, or decisions At the end of the day (idiom) used for saying what you consider is the most important thing about a situation after thinking about it 15.3. What’s the difference between dream and goal? As far as I’m concerned, there’s only one big difference that distinguishes a dream from a goal, which is your determination and stamina. In other words, when you are committed to something, you will probably spend more time on it; make concerted efforts to achieve the goal you have set. On the contrary, just like its literal meaning, a dream is what you only wish to come but it is almost impossible to come into reality as you are lazy and take no actions to make your dream come true. As far as I’m concerned (phrase) used when you are giving your opinion about something, especially when this may be different from other people’s opinions Distinguish from (verb) to recognize the differences between things Stamina (noun) the ability to work hard or to make a lot of effort over a long period of time without getting tired Committed to (adj) loyal to a belief, organization, or group, and willing to work hard for it Make concerted efforts (phrase) work hard Achieve goal (collocation) Set goal (collocation) On the contrary (phrase) used for emphasizing that something is true, even though it is the opposite of something that has been said 16.
