【答案解析】● What type of house do you live in?
I live in a two-story house, which is made of wood. It"s a nice house to live in, but cold in winter.
● How many rooms are there?
In total, I think there are about five bedrooms plus a lounge, study, kitchen and two bathrooms. Oh, and the laundry. So that"s about eleven rooms all in all.
● Which is your favourite room in the house? Why?
My favourite room would have to be the kitchen, because it gets sunshine all day long. My family also spend a lot of time in there, preparing food, eating and talking about our days so I really enjoy that.
● How many hours do you spend studying each day?
I probably spend about eight hours studying every day. That"s including lessons at school but also the time that I spend doing homework each evening.
● Are there any subjects which you like studying more than others?
Definitely. I really prefer maths and science to subjects like English literature and history. I find it difficult to understand or be interested in English literature especially, probably because I find it so boring.
● Which subjects are you interested in studying further?
I would really like to study biology at university level. In fact, I"m hoping to become a doctor one day.
● How do you typically use the Internet? Why?
I use it for lots of things, including communicating with friends by email and social networking websites, finding information and doing research for university.
● Do you find it easy to use the Internet? Why?
Yes, I find it very simple. The only thing that is not so easy is that the speed of my connection is sometimes very slow, which is so annoying.
● What do you like most about using the Internet? Why?
I like the fact that so much information is out there and easily accessible. I can find the answer to anything!
● How much of your time do you spend using the Internet? Why?
Well as I said I use it a lot for university research so probably about four hours a day, at least. More when I have an assignment due. And then I use it for fun on top of that, so maybe six hours a day in total.
● Do you like animals? Why/Why not?
I really love animals. In my family we have two pets, a dog and a cat, and I love most animals because they"re so cute.
● Are there any animals that you are afraid of or particularly dislike? Why?
Well I guess I"m kind of afraid of rats because I think they"re disgusting and I hate their tails and teeth. I"m also not really a fan of snakes, but luckily we don"t have any poisonous ones in my country.
● Are people in your country generally fond of animals? Why/Why not?
Yes. In particular, people treat pets as though they are part of the family and animals are, on the whole, well taken care of.
● Do particular animals have any special meaning in your culture?
I suppose some animals do, for instance a black cat can sometimes symbolise bad luck, and lions have long been associated with courage and bravery. Oh, of course the dove stands for peace, but I think that"s a worldwide symbol.
● How do you usually spend your free time?
When I have some spare time, I like to go and have a coffee with friends, or see a movie, or just talk.
● Do you prefer to spend your free time with friends or with family? Why?
It really depends. I don"t have a preference either way—I always enjoy catching up with either friends or family.
● How often do you have free time?
I wouldn"t say that I have a lot of free time, but I make sure that I have time each day. I aim for at least a couple of hours to just relax and have some time to myself.
● What changes would improve the way you spend your free time? Why?
I don"t think that I"d make any changes really. Free time is just for relaxing and having fun and I feel like that"s what I do with my free time, so I"m happy.
