<part 1>

1) Do you like holidays? Why?

Yes, I really do. Holidays give me a chance to unwind and get away from it all. Life can get a bit hectic, so taking time off helps me recharge my batteries and clear my head. I also enjoy spending time with friends or family without watching the clock all the time. It’s a great way to regain balance and feel refreshed.

2) What do you usually do on holidays?

It depends on my mood and how tired I am. If I’m feeling energetic, I might travel or go out with friends. But if I’ve been really busy, I just stay home and take it easy — maybe binge-watch a drama, cook something new, or catch up on sleep. Either way, I try to use my holidays to do something that makes me feel good and relaxed.

Describe a time when you received money as a gift

You should say:

When it happened - on my birthday about two years ago

Who gave you money - My aunt, who lives in another city, sent me some money through a bank transfer

Why he/she gave you money - instead of buying a random gift that might not suit me, she thought it would be better to give me the freedom to choose what I really needed

And explain how you used the money - decided to spend the money on a couple of high-quality shirts

1) Why do people rarely use cash now?

There maybe several reasons, but I’d say it’s mainly because digital payments are so convenient. People can just tap their card or use a phone app instead of carrying coins and notes. It also feels safer, since online transactions can be tracked, while cash can easily get lost.

2) Should parents reward children with money?

I think it can be a good idea if it’s done wisely. Giving kids some money helps them learn the value of saving and spending, but if parents only use money as a reward, children might expect it all the time. So a balance is important.
