Model answers to the part 1 questions please tell me about your best friend

11. What is the food like in your country?
The food in my country is a bit like the language, a mix. There are plenty of traditional dishes and lots of dishes we have imported from other cultures. For example, the most popular dish in the UK is curry which originated in India. The UK is particularly good for local cheeses and fish. Another thing most people love are the desserts and cakes. There are hundreds of different cakes and lots of desserts such as pies, crumbles, trifles and custards. Not good if you’re on a diet though.
12. What is your village/ town/ city like?
My town is a quiet coastal town on the south coast of England. The population is in the region of 50,000 and the main industries are tourism and fishing. It has an attractive harbour where in the past a ferry used to go to northern France. The big attraction is the town’s wide sandy beach which is perfect for families because it is in a bay and the water is shallow and safe. Although the place can be busy in the summer months it is fairly quiet at other times which makes it a pretty cool place to live.
13. How do you like to spend your holidays and vacations?
For my holidays I really enjoy travelling to other countries and experiencing a different culture. I love to sit for an hour or so outside a café with a cup of coffee and watch the world go by. I tend to go to Mediterranean countries when I travel as I like warm weather. I keep telling myself that I have to be more adventurous and see visit some other countries but I always seem to end up in Spain or Italy or Greece.
14. Who is your favourite sports person?
My favourite sportsperson is the boxer, Mohammad Ali. Although he died a few years ago, he is still a hero to many people and he is always at the top of the greatest sportsmen and women. What makes him very special is, not just that he was a great boxer and regained the world title 3 times, but how he resisted fighting in the Vietnam war. Because of this, he had the world title taken from him but he continued to oppose the war and stand up for civil rights.
15. What do you find relaxing?
I find fishing very relaxing especially fishing in a beautiful place on a warm sunny day. For me, this is usually a lake near where I live. The good thing about this place is that it is not too big and there are trees around it, so it’s quite sheltered and tranquil. There is also a lot of wildlife to look at. When I arrive there early in the morning and know that I can sit quietly all-day, it is the most relaxing feeling. Catching a few fish is a bonus.
