5. Nowadays many people choose to move to a new place to live for the sake of work, study or some other reasons. Can you talk about the disadvantage of moving to a newplace? Give specific explanations in your response.
Sample response:
Personally, the most striking disadvantage is unfamiliarity.
For example, now I am studying TOEFL to prepare for my overseas studying one year later. It’s easy to imagine when I move to a new country to live for two years or more, no matter America or Spain or Britain and so on, I might be unfamiliar with many things, such as which restaurant has the most delicious foods, which hospital is the most suitable when I am sick, where I can hang out with my friends and so forth, all of which may pose inconvenience to my daily life andI may have to adapt myself to it for a while.
6. Some universities are located in small towns or rural areas. Can you talk about the advantage and/or disadvantage of placing a university in such a place?
Sample response:
In my view, the most remarkable advantage is that this can help students save money. If the university is located at such a place, maybe the university is far away from shopping malls or recreational centers, then in the spare time students are less likely to go off campus to spend money on various movies, bars, delicious foods and elegant restaurants, new clothes and shoes and so on. However, if the university is located at the city center, you can imagine, after schools students tend to hang out in bars, eating in restaurants or singing in KTVs and so forth, then money will be spent or even wasted to some extent.
7. If there is a chance for you and your friend to open a company, which kind of company or industry would you like to choose and why? Give specific explanations in your response.
Sample response:
If having the chance, definitely we will open a small travel agency because we are fond of travelling. When having such an agency, we may travel to many countries around the world along with the clients. If there are guests going to Singapore, apart from taking care of the guests, I may also have chance to taste the authentic Singapore foods like Chili crab and admire the view of Marina Bay Sand and largest infinity swimming pool in the world. If there are guests going to America, I may get the chance to see the White House, the Niagara Falls and many prestigious universities and so on. I think opening a travel agency will enrich my life.
