PART 1
How much time have you spent by the ocean?
When I was a child, I spent a great deal of time by the ocean. My family usually went to the ocean every summer. We spent two weeks there. Usually, my parents rented a small house for us right near the beach. We spent most of our time on the beach, swimming in the ocean and playing in the sand. Some of my best childhood memories are of those days we spent our vacations by the ocean. These days, unfortunately, I don’t have much time to go to the ocean. I go when I can, but it’s not very often.
Why do people like being near the ocean?
One reason people like the ocean is that it’s very beautiful, no matter what the weather. When the day is calm, the ocean looks beautiful sparkling in the sun. when there’s a storm, the waves and color of the ocean are dramatic. I think people also like being near the ocean because there are so many fun thinks to do. You can swim, fish, ride in a boat, or just relax in the sun.
What do you like about the ocean?
The thing I like most about the ocean is swimming. I love the feel of salt water, and I like the fun and the challenge of swimming in the ocean waves. It’s so much better than swimming in a pool. The water in a pool is unnatural because it has chlorine, and the water is completely calm. It’s very boring. The ocean, on the other hand, is natural and exciting. It’s the best place to swim.
Would you like to live near the ocean?
Even though I love the ocean, I don’t think I would like to live near it. For one thing, towns near the ocean are usually crowded with tourists on vacation. Tourists at the beach are always in a relaxed, party mood. I think that’s fun sometimes, but I wouldn’t like to live around it all the time. Also, in towns near the ocean there often isn’t much to do besides go to the beach. I love the beach, but I prefer living in a city where there’s a wide variety of things to do and many more opportunities for jobs and studies and things like that.
Do you prefer to spend your leisure time indoors or outdoors?
I definitely prefer to spend my leisure time outdoors. I work all week in an office, so when the weekend comes, I want to spend as much time as possible outdoors in the sun and fresh air. It feels good to be outdoors, and there are a lot of outdoor activities that I enjoy doing.
Is there anything you don’t like about being outdoors?
I suppose sometimes it can be uncomfortable to be outdoors. I don’t like it when the weather is bad. I don’t like getting wet from the rain or too hot when the temperature is high. I don’t like to be outdoors when it’s mosquito season. That’s a very uncomfortable time! But usually these things aren’t much of a problem. Usually I feel very happy outdoors.
What are some activities you do outdoors?
I enjoy a lot of outdoor activities. I like walking, which is good because I live in a city and that’s a great way to be outdoors in a city. There are so many places to walk. I also like to go to the park with my friends. Sometimes, we bring food and have a picnic, and sometimes we just hand out and relax. Another thing I like doing outdoors is playing tennis. I play several times a week when the weather is nice.
What do you enjoy about these activities?
The first thing I like about these activities is that they’re outdoors. That’s why I do them. Another thing I like is that they’re relaxing. I can leave my worries behind at the office or at home and take a relaxing walk, or enjoy the nice weather in the park or a good tennis game. Also, they’re a good way to spend time with my friends. We enjoy walking together or being in the park together. I think we enjoy each other’s company more when we’re in a pleasant outdoor place rather than being in some crowed, noisy indoor place like a shopping mall.
PART 2
Describe a book you read recently.
You should say:
- The title and author of the book
- What the book was about
- Why you decided to read it
- and explain why you enjoyed/ did not enjoy reading it
A book I read recently was Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell. This is a well known novel written in the 1930s, and the main character, Scarlett O’Hara, is also well known. The novel takes place in the United States around the time of the Civil War. Partly it’s a romance novel, and it’s also about history and the effects of war. I decided to read it because I saw the movie, which is from the 1930s, too. I was going on vacation, and I always like to take along a nice, long novel to read when I travel. I really enjoyed the book at first. There are very interesting descriptions of life at that time, and it was also interesting to get an idea of what the Civil War was like, especially how it affected daily life. But I have to admit that after a while I got bored. I didn’t really like the main character. She kept doing the wrong thing and ruining her happiness. Since I’d seen the movie, I knew what was going to happen, so I didn’t finish the book.
PART 3
Why do people read?
People read for a lot of different reasons. Leisure time reading is to pass the time in a relaxing way. I think it also helps people escape from reality. Readers can imagine they’re in the time and place they’re reading about and forget their own problems. Of course, not everybody has the habit of reading for leisure. Most people read for information. They read newspapers, magazines, and certain websites to know about and understand what’s going on in the world, what the news is. People also read books, manuals, or pamphlets to learn something they need to know for their jobs or to find out about something they need help with, for example, a health problem.
How important do you think reading is?
I think reading is extremely important. They say that people are reading less these days, and I think that’s serious problem. If people don’t read, either they’re uninformed, or they get their information for radio, TV, and the Web. I think it’s also really important to read for information. The process of reading develops the mind, and reading forces you to think. I think that people are generally more analytical about all the information they receive if reading is part of their lives.
What kinds of things are popular to read these days?
As far as books go, I think light reading is very popular. People seem to be reading certain novels that are entertaining but not very deep. I think people also enjoy reading about the lives of famous people, especially different celebrities. A lot of movie stars and athletes have published memoirs recently. These are the types of light reading I see around a lot
How do you think reading will be different in the future?
In the future, there may not be any books, magazines, or newspapers at all. Probably everything will be electronic. Most people will read things on the Internet, or they’ll have electronic devices like those new electronic readers. This might mean that it will be easier for people to have access to a large variety of things to read, so maybe they’ll read more.
