GOOD LUCK FOR EVERYONE
***Weekends(TOPIC 4)
1. How do you usually spend your weekends?
2. What is your favorite part of the weekend?
3. Did you do anything special last weekend?
ANSWERS:
1.Well it depends. If I have a leisure time I try to hang out with my besties, however, sometimes I have to stay at home because of my cramped schedule.
2.Without any doubt, I would say Sunday. Reasoning that it is the day when I can spend on my own to relieve weekly stress.
3.Frankly speaking, last Sunday I had a blast with my nearest and dearest at a classy restaurant celebrating my grandparent’s 60^th wedding anniversary.
PART2
Situation 4 Describe a book you read and found useful.
Answer: I’m going to tell you about a well-known book I just read called The Alchemist. It was written by Paolo Coelho, an author who has also written many other best sellers. Now I don’t want to spoil (give too many details) it for you, but this book tells the story of a shepherd boy, Santiago, from Andalusia, the southern part of Spain, traveling to Tangier, Morocco and across the Egyptian deserts in search of treasure. At the end of the story, Santiago discovers that the treasure was in the ruins of the old church in Spain the entire time, right behind the tree spot where he often passed his days. With this said, the story teaches us that the treasures we often seek in life are already at our feet (already within us), which we often don’t even realize. Although he didn’t find what he was looking for, the book was about his own personal journey. I felt really inspired by this book because it is something that I can apply to my own life. I think that it’s human nature to take our homes for granted (to not appreciate something) and believe that all treasures of life are in a far away place. For example, I’ve never been a fan of my hometown and have always traveled in search of finding happiness. Although I’m still doing this, 4 years and counting, it occurred to me that I can still discover new things, even in my small town. Some of the quotes in the book really moved me, such as the one that says “When we love, we strive (try hard) to become better than we are. When we love, everything around us becomes better to.” This made me prioritize loving my own family, even though they are difficult to love at times. All in all, this book was a positive self-reflection for me. It would be difficult to dislike this book
