【正确答案】I live on an island, so the sea and beaches are everywhere and it's also really green.
Yes, I think there are. Because it's an island, you have to catch a ferry to the city or to get anywhere, and so you're restricted by timetables and sailings. I'm always missing the ferry.
I've lived here since I was 12, so about five years. We moved because my Dad got a really good job on the island.
I would definitely recommend the island in summer, but winter's a different story. I have to commute every day to school so I get up in the dark and come home in the dark, so I hate it. But summer is fantastic.
I'm studying at the University of Auckland.
My major is education so I'm studying to become a primary school teacher.
I chose education because I love working with children and I want to help kids to learn.
Yes, I do. I have to catch the ferry from the island where I live into the city. It takes about 40 minutes each way.
Mostly my mum cooks all the meals, but sometimes I cook dinner or something, just to give her a break.
Yes, I think it is pretty important because otherwise one person can get resentful when they always have to do it, and then they don't cook good meals! There's more variety if different people cook.
Well, yes, sometimes I enjoy cooking, when it's not difficult and it doesn't take me very long.
Yes, I think so, because I'll probably be living away from home, in a shared fiat or something. So I'll have to cook a lot more.
I hear all sorts of sounds, depending on where I am. At university I hear people talking and doing stuff, and at home I hear my family talking, the dog barking, things like that.
I love music, because it can really make me feel good and lift my mood. And I also love hearing birds singing because the sound is so beautiful and unlike anything else I have ever heard.
I don't like people screaming or talking really loudly. It really annoys me. I also don't like hearing people talking to other people on the phone, or other people's conversations, or when someone reads their text messages out loud.
I can't really remember any--apart from my parents' voices always telling me what to do and what not to do!
I usually send emails or a message on Face book.
Yes, I think so. Although I only used emails before I knew about Face book.
I like it because I hate talking on the phone, because it can get really awkward making small talk. So if you've got something to say it's just a lot easier to message it rather than talk on the phone. It's faster.
It depends, because if someone else is online at the same time, I'll spend a bit of time chatting with them, but otherwise I'll send a message.., probably about an hour a day, I think.
