【正确答案】
【答案解析】Your studies
· I"m studying marketing at Hong Kong Polytechnic.
· Actually, I didn"t choose it myself. My parents chose it for me. I was quite annoyed at first, but once I began studying marketing, I discovered that I quite liked it. You see, I had my heart set on studying psychology, but I"ve discovered that marketing involves a lot of psychology.
· Yes, I think it is. Many students study it, either as a major or a minor. I think that many young people in Hong Kong are interested in business-related subjects, so it should remain popular for some time to come.
· I doubt it. I would like to do a Master"s, but in a different field of study in order to learn a variety of things.
Photography
· A little. I"m not an avid photographer, but I enjoy taking pictures of friends and of places that I visit. Nowadays, many people have digital cameras or cameras in their mobile phones, so it"s increasingly common to see people taking photographs.
· I guess I take, on average, four or five a week, unless I go somewhere special. In that case, I might take twenty or thirty photos. I have a camera on my mobile, but I don"t use it much. A few of my friends take pictures very often—much more often than me.
· Most of all, I like taking pictures of old buildings. I find the architecture interesting. I also like taking pictures of my friends when we go out for a trip together. It"s a nice way to remember what happened.
· I don"t mind—as long as I look reasonable. My boyfriend has a nasty habit of taking pictures of his friends when they get drunk. I wish he wouldn"t do that because it embarrasses his friends.
Music
· Certainly. I like dance music best of all. Most of my friends enjoy the same kind of music and so we often go to clubs to listen and dance together. I also like to listen to Western classical music while I"m studying. I find it very relaxing and soothing.
· I"d say it"s quite important. I think that my life would be a little boring without it. As I said, I enjoy going to discos with my friends. Without music, we"d probably sit and chat in cafes. I would also not be able to be so relaxed while studying on my own.
· In the evenings, usually between seven and ten. Later if I"m at a club. Then, I might listen to music until two in the morning.
· No, I don"t. My parents were keen for me to play the piano, but I never really developed an aptitude for it. They were quite upset. I really admire people who can play a musical instrument, but I"m not to worried about the fact that I can"t.
