Part 1:

Do you prefer to have one particular friend or a group of friends? [Why?]

►Personally, I prefer to have one particular friend. Firstly, it is quite hard for us to find people who have the same hobbies, thinking and attitudes to us and will be next to us rain or shine. Secondly, if I have a particular chum, it will be easier for me to share my sorrow and happiness than having a group of friends. Lastly, I suppose friendship between one - to – one outlasts more than that in a group of friends.

What do you like doing most with your friends?

►I have activities galore to enjoy with my friends. Firstly, I like chatting with them to share everything such as sorrow, happiness, the news of famous people and so on. Secondly, I prefer to spend my time going to the cinema to enjoy our favorite movies. Lastly, I love having vacations with them, especially on beaches. At that time, it is nothing but fun and games.

Do you think it’s important to keep in contact with friends you knew as a child? [Why/Why not?]

►In my opinion, it is essential for us to keep in touch with friends we knew as children. Firstly, friendships from childhood are worth being preserved because they are very pure and contain many beautiful memories. Secondly, it is not harmful to have more friends because friendship is the gift which God gives human. Therefore, I prefer to have as many friends as possible.

What makes a friend into a good friend?

►In my opinion, what makes a friend into a good friend depends on individuals’ attitudes. In my opinion, one of the factors which make a good friend is great understanding. You cannot be a good friend if you do not understand your chums well. Secondly, it is generosity. There is always dispute between friends. Therefore, if you are not generous enough to forgive your friends, your friendships will be fragile. Lastly, it is care that makes you a good friend.

Part 2: Describe an important choice you had to make in your life.

You should say:

when you had to make this choice

what you had to choose between

whether you made a good choice

In my opinion, during our daily days, we have to give many important alternatives. I had made a vital choice in my life about 2 years ago. At that time, an entrance examination to the university was approaching and I had to give my decision of universities between Banking University and University of Social Sciences and Humanities. One side was my dream of being a journalist but I found myself not suitable for it. The other was a vocation with high salaries, positions and suitable for my ability. After careful consideration, I decided to choose Banking University, which is famous for its training of Banking and Finance. You have to fulfill certain criteria to become a student of Banking University. Notwithstanding having a little hesitance when making this choice, year in year out I realize that I had made a judicious choice. The studying environment here is very good and professional. The teachers always teach us with cordiality and dedication. In my opinion, we should think carefully before making important choices so that we will not regret after that.

Part 3:

What are the typical choices people make at different stages of their lives?

►I divide our lives into three major periods. The first is when we are little children. During this period, our choices are quite simple so choices are made by adults for us. The second is when we are teenagers. The alternatives in this period are much more complicated and important than those in the first period such as what school to go, what to wear beautifully, what is delicious to eat. These choices require us to be astute and careful to make. The last is when we are adults and we have to make decisions comprising choices about husbands, wives, children and so on.

Should important choices be made by parents rather than by young adults?

►As I see it, important choices should be made by both parents and young adults. Each generation has their own advantages and shortcomings. Therefore, before we make important choices, it is indispensable for us to consider both opinions of parents and young adults to make the best choices.

Why do some people like to discuss choices with other people?

►In my opinion, firstly, it is quite hard for us to know whether the decisions we make are right or wrong. When discussing with others, we can have their objective comments to help us make the best choices. Secondly, we can have their advice to decide what the best is; even we can discover other better choices.

What kind of choices do people have to make in their everyday life?

►In my opinion, there are various choices we have to make in our daily lives. They are what to wear, what to eat, where to go, what to play, etc. They are quite familiar to us that some people are bored of making these choices. However, life is a chain of choices and making choices is for a living and surviving. Therefore, we should adapt ourselves to choices.

Why do some people choose to do the same things every day? Are there any disadvantages in this?

►In my opinion, some people choose to do the same things every day because their current lives are so smooth that they do not want any changes and want to remain what they are possessing. Secondly, they are scared of changes. They think they cannot be strong enough to bear new things and new challenges.

►There are some disadvantages in this. The first is their lives are not absorbing and just chains of boring days. Secondly, they will be fragile and coward when facing with new challenges while life means waves.

Do you think that people have more choices to make today than in the past?

►I concur with that statement. Firstly, the society now is more developing than that in the past. Therefore, people are given more alternatives to make. Clear evidence of this statement is food, beverages, schools, clothes, etc. Secondly, people have more abundant physical and spiritual lives. It is the reason why choices now are more complicated and plentiful.
