2.Do you usually read for leisure or for work purposes?
→ Well, I have to do a certain amount of reading as part of my job, but I probably read more for enjoyment. I pick up a newspaper most days, and I usually have a book on the go.

→ The first book that I remember really enjoying was '.................. '. It only took me a few days to read because I liked it so much that I couldn't put it down.
4.Do you think it's important that children read regularly?

→ I'm from Manchester, which is a city in the north west of England.
2.Do you like your home town? (Why?)
→ Yes, I like living in Manchester because it's where most of my friends live, and because there are plenty of things to do there. The only thing I don't like is the weather.
3.Would you prefer to live somewhere else? (Why?)
→ For the moment I'm happy living here, but at some point I'd like to live in a country with a warmer climate, and I'd like to live near a beach!

→ Unfortunately I don't have time to do any sports or physical activities because of my work commitments. I'd like to find more time for regular exercise.

→ I'd like to be good at tennis. It must be great to be able to hit the ball as hard as you can and watch it land exactly where you wanted it to.
Chủ đề Speaking Part 1: Sports
3.Do you prefer watching or playing sports?

2. What kind of shopping do you like doing?
→ I quite like shopping for presents for people's birthdays or for Christmas. My favourite type of shop would have to be a bookshop.
3. Is shopping a popular activity in your country?

3. In your country, do boys and girls play with the same types of toys?

4. Do you think that toys help children to learn?
→ Yes, I do. All toys encourage children to use their imagination and creativity. Even with simple toys, children imagine situations and invent games and rules.

4.How easy would it be to learn to play an instrument without a teacher?

→ It depends on the situation. I use email and text messages to communicate with friends, but my parents prefer it if I phone them.
