Foydali Speaking actual tests(Feb-May)
Vocabulary
physical changes (n) changes in appearance two-edged sword (idiom) pros and cons 2. Watches/Time 2.1. Why do people like expensive watches? Just like any other accessories, the more luxurious a timepiece looks, the higher social status the owner may hold. Watches are widely used by either gender and ones of the visual indicators presenting how professional, smart and attractive a person is. Therefore, if one wants to be acknowledged and taken seriously, he prefers a high-end watch rather than a collection of low-end ones. Vocabulary Timepiece (n): a clock or watch Social status (n): a person's standing or importance in relation to other people within a society Indicator (n): a sign that shows you what something is like or how a situation is changing Acknowledge (n): to accept that somebody/something has a particular authority or status High-end (a): expensive and of high quality Low-end (a): at the cheaper end of a range of similar products 2.2. Do you like to wear watches? Well, I am more a cosmetics girl than clothing and accessories, hence, there are not many watches and jewelries in my possession. However, I have nothing against wearing a beautiful piece of art on my wrist and do own a few exclusive timepieces which suit perfectly with my clothing on some special occasions, giving me a sense of identity and uniqueness. Vocabulary In someone’s possession: if something is in someone’s possession, they have it Have nothing against: to dislike or not approve of someone or something for a particular reason On (special) occasions: from time to time; now and then 2.3. Have you ever received a watch as a gift? Let me see. More than half of the watches in my little jewelry box are presents from my family and friends. And by that I mean 3 pieces since I only own 4 in total. They all know I am not extremely fond of collecting these types of accessories but make-up kits and the likes. Therefore, it would soothe their souls to see me in watches because according to them, time is so precious that I need to be reminded every second. Vocabulary Be fond of = be interested in = be keen on Soothe someone’s soul: To bring comfort, composure, or relief 3. Gifts 3.1. How often do you buy others gifts? Since I’m one of those idealists when it comes to buying presents, not often do I buy others gifts, but it doesn’t have to be a special occasion that I send them presents. Especially to my friends, just a small gift like a handmade bracelet or a simple drawing could make their day. Vocabulary Idealist (n) a person who is guided more by ideals than by practical considerations Make someone’s day (idiom) make an otherwise ordinary or dull day pleasingly memorable for someone. 3.2. Do you like to send expensive gifts? Well sending pricey presents is a no-no for me. First of all, expensive gifts may cost me an arm and a leg. And second of all I don’t think my friends, who are my most frequent receivers of my presents, would be actually happy if they know the price. And they also don’t need expensive stuff either. So I would say for me sending expensive gifts is unpreferable and unnecessary. Vocabulary To be a no- no for somebody (expression) to be impossible or inadvisable for someone To cost SO an arm and a leg (phrase) to be very expensive 3.3. What kinds of gifts are popular in your country? I think gifts are becoming more diverse these days. Stuffed animals, accessories, jewelries and flowers are too traditional for the young. Probably handmade stuff is currently on top of the list because of their spiritual value. And sometimes it doesn’t have to be a physical gift. Probably a delicious homemade meal is enough to make their day. Download 1.86 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
