1 Some people think wearing fashionable clothes is important, while others not. Which do you agree with and why? Use details and examples to explain your opinion.
Well, I think wearing fashionable is the least important. Some of the fashionable outfit are totally ridiculous and also fashion dates easily. There are important reasons not following fashion, for me, I am overwhelmed by different kinds of assignment like presentations, problem sets, papers and sometime they have to stay up late to cram for exams. Actually, following the fashion can be very time consuming. Additionally, it costs of a lot of money. For example, a designer outfit can you as much as a few hundred dollar, and I just cannot afford that.
2 When learning to use a new product, some people prefer to read the instruction manual. Others prefer to figure out how to use the product on their own. Which do you prefer and why? Give details and examples to support your response.
Well, I think it really depends on the nature of the product. For example, if the product is a computer, a camera or a smart phone, I think it is a good idea to read the instruction manual and follow the instructions. These kinds of high tech gadgets are fairly complicated to operate and without proper knowledge, one might not even know how to get it function right. On the other hand, for products like vacuum cleaner, can opener, or a rice pot, I think it is okay not to read the manual since these kind of products are easy to operate.
3 Which of the following types of book you do not enjoy, science fiction, biography, or history book? Explain why you do not enjoy it.
Personally, I prefer to read science fictions. Generally speaking, the plot line is very interesting and when I read a sci-fi, I find time irrelevant and I totally forget about the time. I tune everything out around me and am so attracted in the storyline and I feel tied up to the character in the novel. I feel like the characters in the novel connect to me so much that nothing could hold me back from reading it until I finish the novel. On the other hand, history books can be very boring to read, you know, there are just figures, dates, and certain places. I just find it hard for me to concentrate when reading history books.
4 Which of the following three do you think is the most important for a great working environment? Friendly coworkers, flexible hours or a helpful boss?
Personally, I think friendly coworkers are the most important factor for a great working environment. In a professional setting, one needs to cooperate with others in order to finish a task. For instance, the technician need to work together with the salesperson so that he can make some changes to the product, making sure the product is user friendly to customers. Therefore, it is really crucial to work with people who are friendly and easygoing. Additionally, friendly coworkers tend to provide timely assistance and relevant training to you when you are in trouble handling daily business operation.
