What are the differences between waiting for friends and a service? What a tricky question! To the best of my knowledge, the main different aspect is that people tend to be given some beverages or can entertain themselves with the background music while waiting to be served. However, in the case of waiting for friends, people tend to be apprehensive, annoyed or infuriated! That is the reason why it is not uncommon to catch sight of some people glaring continuously at the smartphone screen for a phone call or walking back and forth while waiting for their beloved buddies to show up 20.2. Do you think people are not so patient due to the technology? I suppose that there are a number of obvious merits of spending time outside. The most obvious one is that doing outdoor exercise is the best way to keep healthy and stay fit. For instance, if I walk, jog or cycle outdoors, I’ll have to expend a lot of energy and burn more calories, and the fresh air outside also helps to improve the blood pressure and heart rate. Otherwise, when I stay indoors, especially when working on the computer for several hours, it’s easy to get dizzy and feel aches and pains in my back. Another plus point is that being outdoors can greatly boost my mood and creativity, so everytime I feel bad or try to come up with a new idea, wandering around outside always helps. 20.3. What do people do when they are waiting? It is an interesting question. The answer relies on each individual I think. But I suppose that people would prefer to glue their eyes onto the smartphone screen to check Facebook notifications or text-message their buddies to hurry and come. Others are more impatient and just walk to and fro or utter some swear words if their friends keep them waiting for too long. 20.4. Why is it difficult for children to be patient? It is because children have a hard time controlling their actions and emotions. Also, they have a tendency to follow their interests and do whatever that comes to their mind. Therefore, being patient and waiting for things is almost out of the question for small children. For example, when watching a movie, my daughter is really thrilled to bits at first, but after some thirty minutes, she is fed up with the plot and lends up not seeing the whole movie. 20.5. How to teach children patience? There are a number of ways that are available to help small children learn to become more patient and determined. The first method worth mentioning is that parents should set an exemplary role model for their children to follow. By that I mean, a parent should be patient like staying calm when waiting for a bus or piaintaining interest when watching something so that his or her small kid could see and learn. The second approach is giving more encouragement and rewards for patient actions that the kid do. For example, we can give our son a piece of candy if he can sweep the floor enthusiastically without complaining about feeling tired and bored. 20.6. Have you ever been late for meeting someone? Most of the times, i am a punctual person; however, there is one occassion that showed up late at an appointment, which is my highschool class reunion. At that time, my travel was held up by bad traffic jams; particularly it was on the weekends so many people took their motorcycles out to hang out with their friends or sweethearts. To make matter worse, although it is a standard practice that people usually arrive 15 or 20 mins later than the agreed time, on that they everyone was so on time that I became the last to come. I ended up being in a bad mood at the party 21. Describe an advertisement you have seen You should say: - What is the advertisement - When did you see it - Why did you love it I guess I could begin by highlighting the fact about what type of advertisement it is. Actually, nowadays, there is so many advertisements on mass media like TV, internet or radio that people just take them for granted in some ways. However, there are some commercials that are truly interesting, creative and meaningful. One such ads that creates a strong impression on me is the one regarding the great contribution of mothers to their children and it is broadcasted on the local channel on Mother’s Day. Now going on to my next point which is what its content is. The point I like to make here is that unlike other commercials that are utilized to promote products and services, this one is not about any products but dedicated to appreciating the huge sacrifice of mothers. Honestly, I am not pretty sure about when I first saw it, but as far as I remember, I came across this ad about two years ago and I was totally blown away by its creative way of telling story. And last but not least, I also want to talk about the reason why I love this piece of ads. I suppose it’s really a combination of reasons, one of which is its meaningful story that provokes so many emotions about our mom. So, that’s one thing, the other would be its unique way of catching audience’s entire attention by moving life stories. I hope that in the future, the advertisement would be invested more in terms of contents, not just about exaggerating products.
