What kinds of jobs are well-paid in your country? As in other nations, how high a person’s salary is is determined by their time and efforts. It is not unrealistic that doctors or CEOs of certain corporations receive significantly higher incomes compared to other professions because they have to spend years improving their skills and accumulating hands-on experience before practicing their career. Besides, celebrities like MCs or comedians also have a handsome salary since they contribute greatly to our lives. Just imagine how life would be if there are no comedy shows or reality programmes. 32.2. What kinds of jobs are poorly-paid in your country? Obviously, manual workers receive the lowest income in my country; they work hard physically but with no good pay. Some of these occupations don’t require much brain work and usually include factory workers, street cleaners or caretakers. Somehow; it is proportional to the efforts and time they spend when they were young. 32.3. Do people who have different levels of income feel happy about how much they earn? This is a fascinating question, really. The discrepancy in income levels generally reflects the degree of happiness a person may feel. This is due to the fact that when people have the means, they can easily afford high-quality services and enjoy their life better. They can go to the cinema with their buddies to watch a blockbuster or hang out at some coffee shops. These things make people satisfied in life. On the contrary, if people can’t take their mind off stuff like how to earn a living to support their family financially, definitely they sense no happiness in this life. 32.4. Do you think it is good to change jobs frequently? If i have to choose, the answer would be no. Instead of job-hopping in a frequent basis, it would be better if we reflect on our interests or make greater efforts and determination in what we are doing. This helps us to have an overall picture of our genuine abilities and better adapt to an environment for longer stay. Another plus point is the promotion prospects are more promising if we set our heart on staying at the same place because the more we work, the more hands-on experience we gain. This makes us qualified for a pay rise or a good promotion. 33. Describe a quiet place you visited I’m an introvert and not really keen on socializing with others, so I often find a noiseless spot to frequent to every time I’m stressed out from work study. It is the small and cozy café within a walking distance from my house. Unlike other coffee shops in the vicinity of my neighborhood, the atmosphere here is extremely tranquil and serene, which greatly lives up to my expectation. As a person with leavy amounts of daily workload. The café gives me a certain degree of peacefulness and calmness, especially during nerve-racking times like final exams when I am up to ears with revision and reviewing. What leaves the most profound impression on me is the complete silence in the café as the shop owner fortunately is not interested in music of any kind, so no background music is expected when you come here. I can increase my concentration span while reading a book or other materials and finish work with great productivity, compared to when I’m at home, surrounded by many disturbances like babies crying and neighbors arguing. One bonus point is that the coffee there is second to none which caters to my unique tastes! The foods are really delicately made and scrumptious, giving me great refreshing energy when suffering from fatigue and stress I have to admit. QUESTIONS FOR PART 3 33.1. Is there a completely quiet place? What a fascinating question! My personal thought is that there’s virtually no absolutely peaceful and quiet spot in modern society. At least there’s some soft background noise or music to make the air less dull and heavy. Having said this, at night, we can catch sight of many parts of the town noiseless and dead quiet, which can be explained by the fact that most people might have fallen into a sound sleep. 33.2. Do you feel like listening to music over and over again? To be honest with you, I’d say that I don’t have a habit of replaying any song on my Ipod, the main reason of which is that I’ve been always interested in novel stuff and repeating the same thing for me seems redundant and mundane, so I’d rather put on different song and experience different feelings and emotions. 33.3. Where do young people usually meet in your city? Well, it’s difficult to say because there are many good meeting places in my city, like cafes, cinemas or parks. As far as I am concerned, I usually meet my friends in the cafes. They have comfortable seats and pleasant background music. We can chat without being disturbed while enjoying a cup of coffee or juice. If the weather is fine we will go to the parks. It is agreeable to sit on the bench near the lake, enjoying the pleasant scenery far away. 33.4. What types of noises do you come across in your daily life? Do any noise bother you? I usually hear the noises of traffic, music played aloud to attract more customers at the shops as well as the noise of construction. Most of the times, I get sickened by the high level of noise. Noises from traffic or construction sites bother me a lot. Anyway, I feel irritated at any kind of noise. 33.5. What are some of the advantages of quiet places? There are many advantages that being in a tranquil and serene place can give us. The first plus point is that it’s easier to concentrate, to think logically and rationally. In a word, it’s good for my mind work. Also, quiet places enable people to feel relaxed and light-hearted or whatever type of positive feeling human has. 33.6. What kinds of places do people want to go to when they want to be alone? Honestly speaking, city dwellers often try to manage a trip to the countryside, where the atmosphere is tranquil and serene, away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Some others who are preoccupied with their work tend to make an escape to a secluded lake or park where they spend time reading a book or pursuing other hobbies like drawing. Also, some people would rather just stay at home, in their room listening to music or doing other trivial stuff. 34. Describe a popular place where people go swimming Our neighborhood has a community swimming pool. Lots of people go there during hot summer days. Some of them go to this swimming pool to cool off or just to hang out while others go there to work out. You know, swimming is probably one of the best all- around exercises in the world coz it keeps you fit and your body in shape. The water in the swimming pool is treated by ultraviolet technology which benefits the quality of the water. It is safe there as full time lifeguards are supervising all the time. The pool is able to cater for not only swimming itself, but also for swimming lessons and even birthday parties. But honestly, not all the people there can swim well. Yes, there are folks who swim like fish but some others just splash water around or even have a hard time doing the doggy- paddle. On any hot day in July, the pool is buzzing with kids. There're even instructors giving swimming lessons to them. Enjoy the sun and get paid is a pretty good idea, right? And, you know, I don’t have a girlfriend/boyfriend. So who knows? Maybe this pool’ll give me a chance. QUESTION FOR PART 3 34.1. Do you think the government should invest money in developing facilities tor water sports? Not necessarily I reckon. This is because governments should rather provide more essential services for its citizens like improving healthcare or education. The task of upgrading and expanding water sports facilities should (rest with the clubs that do business in these areas Besides, not many people are into water sports these days since they even can’t find time to go to somewhere with water during the whole year. 34.2. Where do people in your country like to go swimming? People usually swim at the swimming pools or go to the beach. But I guess most people prefer to go swimming in the sea. The feeling is totally different. I bet no one can resist the temptation from the blue sky, the white clouds, the unbroken coastline and the cozy sea breeze. 34.3. Why do some people like water sports? Obviously, some like the youths are extremely into aquatic sports. This can easily be understood because they are dynamic and adventurous so they are pretty drawn by water polo, surfing, snorkeling to name but a few. Some sports like those tend to be risky so it can be a time for the young guys to challenge themselves and test their own limit, which can give them more confidence in life. 34.4. What's the difference between swimming in the pool and swimming in the sea? It’s a dilemma. I like swimming in the ocean because it makes me feel close to the nature and there’s more space for me to stretch my arms and legs. However, if I have my private swimming pool, I’d love to swim in it because the water is fresh and shallow so I can enjoy my time without worrying about being drowned or swallowing the salty water. 34.5. Is it important to learn swimming? Definitely. We all know swimming is a good way to exercise our body and get us into a better shape. When we’re faced with disasters or emergencies involving water swimming can also help us get away from dangers. 35. Describe a café or restaurant you enjoy. I’m an introvert and not really keen on socializing with others, so I often find a noiseless spot to frequent to every time I’m stressed out from work study. It is the small and cozy café within a walking distance from my house. Unlike other coffee shops in the vicinity of my neighborhood, the atmosphere here is extremely tranquil and serene, which greatly lives up to my expectation. As a person with leavy amounts of daily workload. The café gives me a certain degree of peacefulness and calmness, especially during nerve-racking times like final exams when I am up to ears with revision and reviewing.

One bonus point is that the coffee there is second to none which caters to my unique tastes! The foods are really delicately made and scrumptious, giving me great refreshing energy when suffering from fatigue and stress I have to admit. QUESTION FOR PART 3 35.1. What do old people like to eat? Personally speaking, the elderly are more into vegetables and fruits rather than meat. As they have grown old, the fiber and vitamins obtained from the intake of salads, tomatos, bananas and so on are particularly good for their health. By contrast, meat does harm to their digestive system. It’s also worth mentioning that the older citizens can’t chew thick pieces of meat, so they’d rather eat fish, which is softer and can be easily digested. 35.2. How important is it for a country to be able to grow all the food it needs, without importing any from other countries? In recent times it hasn’t been that important as it’s been easy enough to import anything that was required. Maybe in the future there will be more emphasis on being independent in terms of food production, as well as other essential resources such as energy and fuel, it looks like there are going to be some major changes which could affect everyone in terms of how we look at out ability to survive jin the event of another world conflict where food and possibly water become scarce. 36. Describe a kind of foreign food you tried/would like to have Well, I spent 2 weeks of the summer vacation in Malaysia to visit my friends thus had chances to try a lot of local foods. However, the food that I miss most since I cannot find it in my hometown is called ‘Roti Susu’. Indian food in Malaysia is highly diversed, yet my favorite one is this food. Basically, in Malaysian, ‘Roti’ means ‘bread’ and ‘susu’ means ‘milk’. We can add some curry sauce for more flavors. Because of such simple ingredients, this food can be found in any Indian restaurants in Malaysia. My friends who were studying in Malaysia were also big fan of ‘roti susu’ so they introduced me this food on the first day I cam to visit them. Because it is sold by an Indian food court on campus, they could have it most of the time. I prefer having it without the sauce and usually it’s my everyday-favorite. Probably as the soft bread with sweet condensed milk has often been my breakfast when I’m in my hometown, the taste of ‘roti susu’ seems familiar to me. In the future, I would love to return to Malaysia someday to enjoy ‘roti susu’ again. Download 1.86 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham:
