SPEAKING.

PART 1
WALKING
1. Do you like walking?
Yes, I do. Because walking is beneficial activity that I deeply enjoy. I often find myself
walking in the early mornings or late afternoons when the weather is more pleasant. In the
mornings, I usually take a walk in a nearby park, where the fresh air and chirping birds
create a calming start to the day. In the afternoons, I like to stroll along quiet streets or by
the riverside, enjoying the changing colors of the sky as the sun sets.
2. Do you think walking important?
I believe walking is an important activity for several reasons. Firstly, it is a great way to
maintain physical health. Regular walking helps improve strengthens bones, and keep my
body healthy. Moreover, walking is a low-impact exercise, making it accessible to people
of all ages and fitness levels. It serves as a stress reliever, clears the mind, and often sparks
creativity. Many people, myself included, find that a good walk can help sort out thoughts
and provide a fresh perspective on problems.
3. Do you think walking in the countryside is better than walking in the city?
When comparing walking in the countryside to walking in the city, I find that each has its
own unique benefits, but I think Walking in the countryside is more better, it offers a closer
connection to nature, with the opportunity to experience fresh air, open spaces, and the
sights and sounds of wildlife. This environment is incredibly rejuvenating and provides a
welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life. The tranquility and natural beauty
of the countryside can significantly enhance the walking experience, making it more
enjoyable and therapeutic.
In conclusion, I find that walking in the countryside is generally more refreshing and
beneficial for both mind and body. The peace, beauty, and connection to nature make it a
preferred choice for those seeking a more fulfilling walking experience.
EATING HABBIT
1. Do you often eat healthy food?
I make a conscious effort to eat healthy food regularly, though it's not always easy with a
busy schedule. I understand the importance of a balanced diet, so I try to incorporate a
variety of nutritious foods into my meals. I aim to eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean
proteins, and whole grains. For instance, I often start my day with a bowl of oatmeal, which
provides a good balance of fiber and protein to keep me energized throughout the morning.
I also make sure to drink plenty of water and limit my intake of sugary beverages and
processed foods.
2. What do you usually eat at school/at work?
When I'm at work, I usually bring my own lunch to ensure that I eat healthily. My typical
lunch includes a salad with a mix of greens, vegetables, a source of protein like grilled
chicken or chickpeas, and a light dressing. I might also pack some whole grain crackers or
a piece of fruit as a snack. On days when I don't have time to prepare a meal, I look for
healthy options in the cafeteria or nearby restaurants, such as a veggie wrap or a bowl of
soup with a side salad.
3. What is the unhealthiest food you can think of?
As for the unhealthiest food I can think of, I'd say it's deep-fried foods, particularly items
like fried chicken, French fries, and donuts. These foods are high in unhealthy fats, calories,
and often contain trans fats, which can increase the risk of heart disease and other health
issues. They also tend to be low in essential nutrients, making them a poor choice for a
balanced diet. While I enjoy these foods occasionally as a treat, I try to limit my
consumption of them to maintain a healthier lifestyle overall.
In summary, I do my best to eat healthy foods regularly, especially at school or work, where
I pack nutritious meals and snacks. I recognize the value of a balanced diet and make
mindful choices to support my overall well-being. However, I also acknowledge that it's
okay to indulge in less healthy foods occasionally, as long as it's done in moderation.
WEATHER
1. What kind of weather do you like? why?
I have a strong preference for mild, sunny weather. I find that clear skies and moderate
temperatures create an ideal environment for both outdoor activities and general well-
being. Mild weather allows for a variety of activities such as walking, cycling, or simply
enjoying nature without the discomfort of extreme temperatures. Sunny days also tend to
be uplifting and energizing, making it easier to stay active and positive throughout the day.
2. Does wether affect your mood/feeling?
Weather certainly has a significant impact on my mood and feelings. Sunny and mild
weather usually boosts my spirits, making me feel more energetic and motivated. I find it
easier to be productive and maintain a positive outlook when the weather is pleasant.
Conversely, gloomy or rainy days can sometimes dampen my mood, leading to feelings of
lethargy or a desire to stay indoors. However, I try to embrace all types of weather and find
ways to stay positive regardless of the conditions outside.
3. What do you usually do in hot/cold weather?
In hot weather, I usually adjust my activities to stay cool and comfortable. I prefer to engage
in outdoor activities early in the morning or late in the evening when the temperatures are
lower. Swimming is one of my favorite activities during hot days, as it provides both
exercise and a refreshing escape from the heat. I also enjoy spending time in air-
conditioned spaces, such as reading a book or working on indoor hobbies.
In contrast, during cold weather, I enjoy drinking hot beverages like tea or cocoa. When it
comes to outdoor activities, I dress in layers and engage in brisk walks or light exercises to
stay warm and active.
Overall, while I have a clear preference for mild and sunny weather, I try to adapt to
different weather conditions and find enjoyment in various activities suited to each season.
Embracing the unique aspects of each type of weather helps me maintain a positive outlook
and stay active throughout the year.
FAVORITE CHILDHOOD GAME
1. what game did you enjoy playing when you were a child? (flying kite, hide and seek)
As a child, I thoroughly enjoyed playing hide and seek. It was one of the most exciting and
fun games that I looked forward to during playtime. The thrill of finding the perfect hiding
spot and the anticipation of being found or discovering others hiding added a lot of
excitement to the game.
2. who did you play with?
I usually played hide and seek with my friends and sometimes with my siblings. We often
played in our neighborhood, using various houses, gardens, and trees as our hiding spots.
It was a great way to bond and have fun together. The game helped us develop a sense of
camaraderie and teamwork, especially when playing in larger groups.
3. did you need any skills to play the game?
Playing hide and seek did require certain skills. Quick thinking and a good sense of spatial
awareness were essential to avoid being caught. Additionally, patience was key, as
remaining quiet and still in a hiding spot without being discovered required self-control.
The seeker, on the other hand, needed good observation skills and the ability to think like
the hiders to predict their hiding places.
Overall, hide and seek was a simple yet engaging game that fostered creativity, strategy,
and social interaction among children. It remains one of my fondest childhood memories,
representing a time of carefree fun and camaraderie with friends and family.
NOISE
1. Do you like to live in the noisy place or a quite place?
I prefer to live in a quiet place. I find that a peaceful environment allows me to relax,
concentrate. Quiet places will provide a space where I can think clearly, meditate, and
engage in activities like reading or working without distraction. The tranquility of a quiet
place is comforting and helps me feel more at ease.
2. what kind of noise disturbs you most?
The kind of noise that disturbs me the most is loud, continuous noise such as traffic,
construction work, or loud music. These types of noises can be incredibly disruptive,
making it difficult to focus on tasks or enjoy a restful sleep. Sudden loud noises, like car
alarms or shouting, are also particularly jarring and can be quite stressful.
3. does noise affect your health?
Yes, noise does affect my health. that can lead to increased stress levels, difficulty sleeping,
and even headaches. It can also impact my ability to concentrate and be productive. In the
long term, consistent exposure to high noise levels can contribute to more serious health
issues such as hypertension and hearing loss.
Living in a quiet place helps mitigate these negative effects, allowing for better overall
health and well-being. I notice that in quieter environments, I sleep better, feel less stressed,
and can focus more effectively on my daily tasks. The calm and quiet surroundings also
enhance my mood, making me feel more relaxed and content
KEEPING FIT
Do you think keeping fit is important? Why?
Yes, keeping fit is important. Firstly, maintaining physical fitness helps to prevent heart
disease. Regular physical activity strengthens the cardiovascular system, improves
circulation, and boosts the immune system.
Additionally, keeping fit promotes quality of life. It helps maintain muscle strength,
flexibility, and balance, which are crucial for preventing falls and injuries, especially in
older adults. A fit lifestyle often includes a balanced diet, which provides the necessary
nutrients for the body to function optimally.
Overall, the importance of keeping fit cannot be overstated. It contributes to overall well-
being, enhances life quality, and reduces healthcare costs by mitigating the risk of various
health issues.
What do we need to keep fit?
To keep fit, several key elements need to be incorporated into our daily routines:
The first, Engaging in a variety of physical activities such as cardiovascular exercises,
strength training, and flexibility exercises like yoga, stretching is essential.
Next, a nutritious diet that includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy
fats is important. Avoiding processed foods, and unhealthy fats can help maintain an
optimal weight and provide the energy needed for exercise.
Sleeping and rest days are important to allow the body to recover and repair itself.
Overtraining can lead to burnout, so balancing activity with rest is essential.
Do men and women have the same ways to keep fit?
Men and women generally have the same fundamental needs to keep fit, including exercise,
a balanced diet, and proper rest. However, there are some differences in their fitness
approaches due to physiological and hormonal differences:
Firstly is exercise preferences, While both men and women benefit from all types of
exercise, they might have different preferences. Men often lean towards strength training,
focusing on building muscle mass and strength. Women may prefer a mix of cardiovascular
exercises, flexibility workouts like yoga or Pilates.
Secondly is hormonal differences, Women experience hormonal changes, which can affect
their energy levels and exercise performance. Tailoring workout routines to accommodate
these changes can be beneficial.
Despite these differences, the principles of fitness—regular exercise, balanced nutrition,
and mental well-being—apply to both men and women. Customizing fitness routines to
meet individual preferences and physiological needs can help everyone achieve their
fitness goals effectively.
ENGLISH
Do you like English? Why?
Yes, I like English for several reasons. Firstly, English is a global language, spoken by
millions of people around the world. It serves as a common means of communication in
international business, science, technology, and travel. Being proficient in English opens
up numerous opportunities for personal and professional growth.
Additionally, learning English has enabled me to connect with people from different
cultures and backgrounds. It fosters a sense of global community and understanding.
Engaging with diverse perspectives through English broadens my worldview and enhances
my intercultural communication skills.
In summary, I like English because it is a versatile and influential language that offers
countless opportunities for communication, cultural exchange, and personal development.
How long have you learned English?
I have been learning English for more than 10 years. This long journey of learning has
involved various stages and methods, including formal education in school, private
tutoring, language courses, and self-study.
The continuous practice and immersion in the language have helped me to steadily improve
my proficiency. Each year of learning has built upon the previous ones, making me more
comfortable and adept at using English in various contexts.
What are the difficulties in learning English
One of the main difficulties is mastering the grammar. English grammar has many rules
and exceptions, and the correct usage often depends on context.
Another challenge is pronunciation. English is not a phonetic language, meaning that words
are not always pronounced the way they are spelled. This can lead to confusion and requires
practice to master.
Vocabulary acquisition is also a hurdle. English has a vast and diverse vocabulary, with
many words having meanings. Listening and speaking skills can be challenging to develop,
especially without regular interaction with native speakers.
In conclusion, while learning English presents several difficulties, and the use of diverse
learning strategies can help overcome these challenges. Language learning requires
sustained effort and practice, and it can be easy to become discouraged by slow progress
or setbacks.
CLOTHES
Do you often shop for clothes?
I enjoy shopping for clothes, but I don’t do it very often. Firstly, I try to be mindful of my
consumption and avoid impulsive purchases. Instead, I focus on buying quality pieces that
I can wear for a long time.
Another reason is sustainability. The fashion industry is a major contributor to
environmental issues, including pollution and waste. By opting for durable, I try to reduce
my environmental footprint.
Additionally, I tend to shop for clothes only when I need something specific. I find that this
method helps me maintain a wardrobe that I genuinely enjoy wearing and that serves my
needs well.
What is the type of clothes you feel comfortable?
I feel most comfortable in casual clothing that is both stylish and functional.
My go-to outfit typically includes a well-fitted pair of jeans or comfortable trousers paired
with a simple t-shirt. I also enjoy wearing layered clothing, such as a cozy sweater or a
lightweight jacket. For footwear, I prefer sneakers or flat shoes that provide good support
and are easy to walk in.
When it comes to more formal or professional settings, like dress pants, blazers, shirt (Men)
and midi dresses (Women). I appreciate clothing that combines elegance with ease of wear,
ensuring that I look polished without sacrificing comfort.
Accessories also play a role in my comfort. I prefer functional accessories, such as a
practical handbag(Women), a simple watch(MEN).
Overall, the type of clothes I feel comfortable in are those that strike a balance between
style, functionality, and ease, allowing me to feel confident and at ease in various situations.
Do you think brand is important? Why?
For me, brands are important because they signify quality, status, and reliability. Brands
often invest in their design, materials, ensuring that their products meet high standards.
This can result in clothes that are more durable, better fitting, and more stylish.
On the other hand, for some people, the brand is not as important as other factors like price,
comfort, and ethical considerations. Many individuals prioritize finding clothes that fit well
and feel good over the name on the label.
PART 2
1. Best way to lose weight: Diet pills, Play sports, and Be on a diet
Losing weight is a goal shared by many, and there are various methods to achieve it,
including diet pills, being on a diet, and playing sports. Among these, playing sports is the
most effective and sustainable way to lose weight.
Playing sports involves physical activity, which is essential for burning calories. When you
engage in sports, your body uses energy stored in the form of fat, leading to weight loss.
Sports such as running, swimming, or cycling not only burn calories but also improve
cardiovascular health and build muscle, making you stronger and fitter.
Sports, on the other hand, create a habit of regular physical activity, which helps maintain
a healthy weight in the long run. This sustainable approach ensures that the weight stays
off, reducing the risk of obesity-related diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.
Sports often involve team activities or social settings, which can boost motivation and
make the weight loss process more enjoyable. The camaraderie and support from
teammates or fellow sports enthusiasts can help you stay committed to your goals.
In conclusion, while diet pills and dieting can offer short-term weight loss, playing sports
is the best way to lose weight sustainably and healthily. It combines physical activity with
mental well-being, long-term benefits, and social interaction, making it a holistic approach
to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight.
Best way to advertise a new product: On the internet, On television,
and In newspapers
When launching a new product, choosing the right advertising platform is crucial to its
success. Among the options of advertising on the internet, on television, and in newspapers,
advertising on the internet stands out as the most effective method in today’s digital age.
The internet connect billions of users worldwide. Unlike television and newspapers, which
are often limited to specific regions, the internet allows advertisers to reach a global
audience. Additionally, online advertising platforms like social media and search engines
provide advanced targeting options.
Advertising on the internet is generally more cost-effective than traditional methods like
television and newspapers. Online ads can be created with relatively low budgets, and
businesses can choose to pay only when someone clicks on their ad. In contrast, television
and newspaper ads can be expensive, with costs often out of reach for smaller businesses.
One of the most important advantages of online advertising is the ability to track and
measure in real-time. Businesses can see how many people are viewing, clicking, and
interacting with their ads. On the other hand, television and newspaper ads do not offer this
level of immediate feedback and flexibility, making it harder to gauge their impact.
In conclusion, advertising a new product on the internet is the best choice due to its wide
reach, cost-effectiveness, real-time analytics, and ability to engage with the audience.
3. The most useful thing to take along when studying abroad:
clothing and money, a camera, or a family album
When preparing for the adventure of studying abroad, packing wisely is essential. Among
the options of clothing and money, a camera, or a family album, the most useful thing to
take along is clothing and money.
Clothing and money are fundamental for managing daily life in a foreign country. Having
the right clothes ensures you are prepared for different weather conditions and cultural
expectations.
Money is indispensable for covering essential expenses such as food, transportation,
accommodation. While a camera or family album holds sentimental value, they do not
provide the practical support needed to navigate everyday life abroad.
Having sufficient money grants you independence, allowing you to handle situations
without relying on others for financial support. This independence is crucial when studying
abroad, as it enables you to make the most of your experience without being held back by
financial constraints.
On the other hand, Clothing, too, plays a role in emergencies—having appropriate attire
can help you stay safe and comfortable in varying conditions, such as during natural
disasters or extreme weather.
In conclusion, while a camera or family album can provide emotional comfort and
memories, clothing and money are the most useful things to take along when studying
abroad. They ensure you are prepared, flexible, and independent, allowing you to fully
embrace the experience of living and studying in a foreign country.
4. The best way to reduce stress: eating out with your friends, riding
a bike, and reading a book.
Stress is an inevitable part of life, but how we manage it can make a significant difference
in our well-being. Among the options of eating out with friends, riding a bike, and reading
a book, reading a book stands out as the best way to reduce stress.
Reading a book provides a mental escape from the pressures of daily life. When you
immerse yourself in a good book, you enter a different world. This mental escape allows
your mind to take a break from stressors. Unlike eating out with friends, which may still
involve social pressures or distractions, reading offers a peaceful, solitary activity where
you can unwind fully.
Reading not only helps to reduce stress but also stimulates the brain. It improves focus, and
cognitive function. When you engage with a book, your brain processes the information,
and draws connections, all of which can help shift your focus away from stress. Riding a
bike, while beneficial for physical health, doesn’t offer the same level of mental
engagement and cognitive benefits as reading.
Moreover, Books, can evoke strong emotions and help readers develop empathy by
connecting with characters and their experiences. This emotional connection can provide
comfort and understanding, helping you process your own emotions and stress.
In conclusion, while eating out with friends and riding a bike are enjoyable activities,
reading a book is the best way to reduce stress. By picking up a book, you can find peace
and relaxation, helping you manage stress in a healthy and fulfilling way.
PART 3

Do you think that governments should encourage cheap flights?


Yes, I believe that governments should encourage cheap flights for several reasons. Firstly,
affordable air travel makes it possible for a larger segment of the population to travel,
thereby increasing mobility and access to opportunities. This can have significant social
benefits, such as allowing people to visit family, pursue educational and professional
opportunities that may be located far from their homes.
Additionally, promoting cheap flights can stimulate economic growth. Increased air travel
can boost tourism, leading to more spending in local economies. It can also create business
opportunities by making it easier for companies to conduct operations in different
locations.
Moreover, by encouraging competition among airlines, governments can help ensure that
air travel remains affordable and that airlines continually strive to improve their services
and efficiency. This can lead to better customer experiences and more innovation within
the industry.
Are there any problems with low-cost air travel?
Despite its advantages, low-cost air travel does come with some challenges. One significant
issue is the potential compromise on service quality. Low-cost carriers often cut costs by
reducing in-flight services, charging extra for baggage, meals, and seat selection, which
can lead to a less comfortable travel experience
Another concern is the environmental impact. Increased air travel contributes to higher
carbon emissions.
Safety can also be a concern. While all airlines are required to adhere to strict safety
regulations, the pressure to cut costs in low-cost airlines might lead to reduced spending
on maintenance or staff training in some cases, potentially compromising safety standards.
Lastly, the economic model of low-cost airlines can lead to the exploitation of labor.
Employees might face lower wages, longer working hours, and less job security compared
to those working for traditional carriers.
Cheap air tickets should be offered on domestic flights or international flights?
Cheap air tickets should ideally be offered on both domestic and international flights, as
each serves different yet important purposes
For domestic flights, affordable air travel can significantly enhance connectivity within a
country. It can make it easier for people to travel for work, education, healthcare, and
leisure, thus promoting regional economic development and social cohesion. It can also
help reduce congestion on other forms of transportation, such as trains and buses, by
providing a viable alternative.
Internationally, cheap air travel can open up global opportunities for more people. It
enables travelers to explore new cultures, conduct international business, and study abroad.
For countries that rely heavily on tourism, affordable international flights can be crucial in
attracting visitors and boosting the economy.
In conclusion, while promoting cheap air travel has its benefits, such as increased mobility,
economic growth, and tourism, it is important to address the associated challenges,
including service quality, environmental impact, and labor conditions. Balancing these
factors can help ensure that the benefits of affordable air travel are maximized while
minimizing the drawbacks.
Should children be encouraged to learn music early?
Yes, children should definitely be encouraged to learn music early. Music education at a
young age can provide emotional, and social benefits.
Learning music can significantly enhance a child’s cognitive development. For example,
music training can improve memory. The process of learning and recalling musical pieces
can strengthen memory skills, which are transferable to other academic areas. Furthermore,
music education helps develop language and reasoning abilities.
Music can be a form of relaxation and emotional expression. Learning to play an instrument
or sing can provide a healthy outlet for children to express their emotions and manage
stress. This emotional engagement with music can contribute to improved mental health
and emotional resilience.
Music education often involves group activities like band, choir, or ensemble
performances. These collaborative experiences can help children develop teamwork,
communication, and social skills. Additionally, participating in music groups can foster a
sense of community and belonging.
Do you agree that music can change people's moods/feelings?
Absolutely, music has a powerful impact on people's moods and feelings.
Upbeat and lively music can increase energy levels, and create feelings of happiness and
excitement. Conversely, slow and soothing music can have a calming effect, helping to
reduce stress.
Music provides a medium for emotional expression, allowing people to convey and process
their emotions. This can be comfort during difficult times and enhancing joy during happy
moments.
Music can also foster social connections. Shared musical experiences, such as concerts or
group singing, can create a sense of unity and collective emotional experience.
How would life be like without music?
A life without music would be less rich.
Music plays a crucial role in our emotional lives. Without it, we would lose a powerful tool
for expressing and managing our emotions. The absence of music would mean fewer
opportunities to experience the deep emotional connections that music often fosters.
Music is also a major source of entertainment and social engagement. It brings people
together, whether through concerts, festivals, or casual listening. Without music, our social
lives would be less vibrant and our recreational activities less diverse.
The cognitive benefits of music education, such as improved memory, language
development, and reasoning skills, would be lost. This could result in a less enriched
educational experience for children and fewer opportunities for cognitive development.
In conclusion, music education should be encouraged in schools due to its numerous
benefits, including cognitive development, emotional well-being, and social skills. Music
has a profound impact on our moods and feelings, providing a unique and powerful means
of emotional expression. A life without music would be significantly diminished, lacking
the emotional depth, cultural richness, and social vibrancy that music brings to our lives.
Should people trust online friends? Why or why not?
Trusting online friends is a issue that depends largely on individual experiences and the
context of the relationship. Online friendships can be incredibly rewarding and enriching.
They offer the opportunity to connect with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures.
When joining social events online you can meet individuals who share your hobbies,
passions, and values, which can form the basis of a strong connection. For instance, a
shared interest in a particular hobby, like gaming or reading, can lead to deep discussions.
However, the anonymity of the internet will be risks. Trusting online friends requires
careful consideration and gradual relationship building. It's wise to engage in various
online social events and gradually share personal information as you get to know the person
better. Overall, while online friendships can be genuine and fulfilling, they necessitate a
cautious and measured approach to trust.
What factors can contribute to a true friendship?
Trust is important. Without trust, it is difficult to rely in a friend. This trust is built over
time through consistent and honest communication. For example, attending social events
or joining interest-based groups allows you to spend time with potential friends in a natural
setting.
Mutual respect is another critical component. Respecting each other's opinions, and
individuality helps to maintain harmony and understanding in the relationship. Shared
interests and values also play a significant role. When you connect with people through
common hobbies or beliefs, it provides a solid ground for the friendship to grow.
Emotional support is vital in a true friendship. Being there for each other during difficult
times, offering a listening ear, and providing encouragement strengthens the bond.
Additionally, effective communication is important. Open, honest helps to resolve conflicts
and deepen the connection. Overall, trust, respect, shared interests, emotional support, and
communication are the key factors that contribute to a true and lasting friendship.
Which one is more important: family or friends?
The importance of family versus friends can vary cultural background, and personal values.
Family is often considered the primary source of support and unconditional love. For many,
family members are the people who have known them the longest and have a deep
understanding of their history and experiences. This deep-rooted connection can offer
unparalleled emotional support and guidance throughout life.
On the other hand, friends are chosen relationships that can provide a different type of
companionship and understanding. Friends often share similar interests and hobbies, which
can lead to a fulfilling and enjoyable social life. Friends can offer fresh perspectives and
support that is distinct from family dynamics. They can also be more objective in giving
advice since they might not be as emotionally involved as family members.
Ultimately, both family and friends play crucial roles in our lives, and their importance can
shift depending on different stages and needs. The balance between family and friends is
highly personal and can depend on what an individual values and needs at a particular time
in their life. Therefore, it is essential to nurture both family relationships and friendships
to create a well-rounded and supportive social network.
Are you aware of what recycling means?
Recycling refers to the process of collecting and processing materials that would otherwise
be thrown away as trash and turning them into new products. The purpose of recycling is
to conserve natural resources, reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills, and lower
greenhouse gas emissions. For example, recycling centers play a crucial role in this process
by serving as dedicated facilities where various types of waste—such as paper, plastic,
glass, and metal—are sorted, cleaned, and processed into new materials. By helping reduce
the size of landfills, recycling centers contribute significantly to environmental
sustainability. Additionally, recycling helps utilize waste products effectively, turning what
would be trash into valuable resources. This process not only conserves raw materials but
also reduces pollution caused by waste disposal.
Do you recycle as part of your everyday life?
Yes, recycling is an integral part of my everyday life. I have recycled habits into my daily
routine to contribute to environmental sustainability. In my household, we separate
recyclable materials from regular waste. We have many bins for different such as paper,
plastic, glass, and metal.
Every week, I take our sorted recyclables to the local recycling center, where they are
processed and prepared for reuse in manufacturing new products.
I make an effort to reduce waste by reusing items whenever possible. For example, I
choose products made from recycled materials, supporting the market for recycled goods
and encouraging sustainable production practices.
Moreover, I engage in community initiatives and educational programs that promote
recycling. From that, I contribute to raising awareness about the importance of recycling
and environmental conservation.
Do you agree that everyone should reuse and recycle products?
Absolutely, everyone should make an effort to reuse and recycle products. The benefits of
recycling are extensive and impact both the environment and society. For one, recycling
helps reduce the size of landfills. Furthermore, recycling helps to utilize waste products
efficiently, transforming them into valuable resources and reducing the need for raw
materials. This process not only conserves natural resources but also reduces energy
consumption and greenhouse gas emissions associated with manufacturing.
Recycling also offers more employment opportunities. The establishment of more
recycling centers can create jobs in various sectors, including collection, sorting, and
processing of recyclables. This can have a positive economic impact on communities by
providing stable employment and supporting local economies.
In addition to these practical benefits, recycling fosters a sense of responsibility and
environmental stewardship. When individuals make the effort to recycle, they contribute
to a culture of sustainability and conservation. Encouraging everyone to participate in
recycling and reusing products can lead to a significant positive impact on the environment
and help build a more sustainable future.

Why is money the most common way of judging success?


Money is often considered the most common way of judging success because it is a tangible
and quantifiable measure. Financial wealth can be easily seen and compared. Society often
equates money with success because it enables individuals to afford a comfortable lifestyle,
access better education, healthcare. Additionally, monetary success is associated with hard
work, education, and skills. For example, individuals who invest time in acquiring higher
education and specialized skills often find better-paying jobs, which leads to financial
success.
However, money doesn't encompass the full picture of succes. True success is includes
intangible elements like personal fulfillment, happiness, and a sense of purpose. Vision and
passion are also crucial factors that contribute to a person's overall success.
Therefore, while money is a common metric, it is essential to recognize the broader
dimensions of success that contribute to a well-rounded and fulfilling life.
Is your idea of success the same as your parents’ idea of success?
My idea of success is similar to my parents' but also has some differences. My parents'
view of success is heavily influenced by financial stability and career accomplishments.
They value education and skills highly, believing that a good education and a stable job are
critical components of a successful life.
While I appreciate and agree with the importance of education and skills, my idea of
success also includes personal fulfillment and pursuing one's passion. I believe that having
a clear vision for the future and working towards goals that interests are essential aspects
of success. For me, success is not just about financial stability but also about finding joy
and satisfaction in what I do. Additionally, maintaining a healthy work-life balance and
nurturing relationships with family and friends are my definition of success.
In summary, my idea of success is broader and includes elements of personal happiness,
passion, and a balanced life.
Does luck play a part in success?
Yes, luck can play a part in success, but it is not the sole determinant. Many successful
individuals acknowledge that luck has influenced their journey, often in the form of
unexpected opportunities, meeting the right people, or being in the right place at the right
time. However, luck alone is not enough to ensure success. Education, skills, vision, and
passion are critical factors that enable individuals to recognize and capitalize on the
opportunities that luck presents.
Vision and passion also play significant roles in how individuals leverage their luck. A clear

sense of wasted time, undermining the potential benefits of volunteering.
In summary, although volunteering brings teenagers many benefits, such as personal
growth, skill development, and increased social awareness, it is not without challenges. It
is important to have balance and awareness to avoid bad situations that affect the meaning

MEASURES TO SAVE FRESH WATER
Fresh water is an essential resource for life on Earth, yet it is becoming increasingly scarce
due to population growth, pollution, and climate change. As the demand for fresh water
continues to rise, it is crucial to implement effective measures to conserve this vital
resource. This essay explores key strategies for saving fresh water.
One of the most effective ways to save fresh water is through better water management
practices. Governments and local authorities can invest in modern infrastructure to reduce
water loss through leaks and inefficient systems. This includes upgrading aging pipelines,
implementing smart water meters, and promoting the use of recycled water for non-potable
purposes such as irrigation and industrial processes.
Individual actions play a crucial role in saving fresh water. Simple measures such as fixing
leaks, using water-efficient appliances, and reducing water waste in daily activities can
have a significant impact. For example, installing low-flow showerheads and faucets can
greatly reduce household water consumption. Moreover, individuals can be encouraged to
adopt water-saving habits, such as taking shorter showers, turning off the tap while
brushing teeth, and using a broom instead of a hose to clean driveways.
Saving fresh water requires a collective effort at the governmental, agricultural, and
individual levels. By improving water management and encouraging individual
conservation, we can significantly reduce water wastage and ensure that this precious
resource is available for future generations. As water scarcity becomes an increasingly
pressing issue, it is vital that we take immediate action to protect and conserve our fresh
water supplies.
CAUSES AND IMPACTS: DELAYING CHILDBIRTH
In recent years, there has been a notable trend of individuals and couples choosing to delay
having children. This change reflects broader social changes. However, delaying childbirth
also has significant impacts on individuals, families, and society as a whole. This essay
explores the main causes of delayed childbearing and examines its impact at both the
individual and societal levels.
One of the leading causes of delayed childbirth is the pursuit of higher education and career
advancement. This is particularly true for women, who may delay childbirth to gain
professional experience, achieve career, and secure financial independence.
Economic factors also play a crucial role in the decision to delay childbirth. The cost of
raising a child, including expenses related to healthcare, education, and childcare, has risen
significantly in many parts of the world. Couples may choose to wait until they are
financially secure, have stable employment, and can provide a comfortable environment
for their children.
While there are valid reasons for delaying childbirth, this decision can have several impacts
on both individuals and society. Delaying childbirth may affect fertility. Older parents may
face more health risks during pregnancy and childbirth, both for the mother and the child.
From a societal perspective, delaying childbirth can contribute to demographic shifts, such
as an aging population. As more people have children later in life, the average age of the
population increases, leading to a higher proportion of elderly individuals.
The decision to delay childbirth is influenced by a complex interplay of personal,
economic, and societal factors. While it can lead to challenges related to fertility and
demographic shifts, it also offers benefits such as increased financial stability and personal
fulfillment. Ultimately, understanding these causes and impacts can help individuals make
informed choices about family planning.
