Speaking exercise

he do it for about 4-5 years

So I must get a great IELTS score to get in to my dream university/realize my dream.

SOrry, I don’t understand what you mean by “catch a cold”, could you please explain it to me?

et cetera (etc. ec-se-te-ra, and such …)

The time that left me a deep impression is my classmate in senior school. Once I was a child in gr. 6 and my gp get ill. My parents … don’t have enough time to get me back from home. But I have a good friend, he is live near my home and we are in the same class. So my parents talk about his parents, so maybe his father can get both of us to back home. It’s a raining day and if has a really big traffic jam. His father was late and it has a test in the afternoon. I was do it quickly but I … have nowhere to go and played football alone. After about half hours, he finally get outside and his father get both of us to back home. But I have a really bad ill. After that, I think ….

The time that left me a deep impression is when I waited for my classmate in middle school. At that time, my parents were too busy taking care of my gp, who was ill, so they don’t have enough time to pick me up from school. But luckily, my friend’s dad can pick up both of us from school. It was a rainy day and peak hour traffic in SH. So his dad was late for about an hour. While I waited, I was very bored because I had nowhere to go. But I wasn’t angry at all, because I was very thankful that his dad can help our family. After that, sometimes my classmate face the same difficulty, my parents will help them too. / So even though I’m a super impatient person, this is was one time when I waited very patiently for somebody.

I think to arrive/arriving early is very important for relationship and others’ first impression of you. So I always try to arrive early. Even though sometimes I cant – because like I said I sleep very late – I always make sure that I”m at least on time.

It depends on what kind of situation. If you are employee in company or in school, I think arrive early is better than late. Sometimes if it’s too early, maybe it’s quite bad for others, or make trouble for others.

It depends. If you are employee in company or in school, I think arriving early is better than late. You can be prepared for work or school. But in other situations, if you are, for example, going to a party. In China, maybe it’s a little bit impolite to arrive too early, and will make trouble for the host.

There are many apps on our phone to help us, such as clock or … We can setup lots of alerts to help us/wake us up. If I still can’t wake up, I will set more alerts/alarms or change the frequency of it. Sometimes I will set as much as 10 different alarms in different times of I have a really important thing on that day.

I think maybe teachers. Because many times, students can’t …. For example, I feel sorry for my teacher. I think my English teacher is very patient with me, even though I make some very stupid mistakes.

I think people work or study their whole lives, it is a really long road so when we work or study, we must to keep patient, even though it is very difficult for us. For me, sometimes I cannot understand the reading passage in English so I must check it ….. but I improved a lot by doing a lot of reading practice. So I believe if we’re patient enough, we can overcome any difficulty.

Actually I disagree with that. Luckily, I have a very patient gm and gp. But maybe last week, I go to my frd’s home but I saw my frd arguing with his gp. His gp was a really stubborn man./

Actually I disagree with that. I have many friends on the internet, they are older than me, and I’m more patient than they are. It depends on the individual, not on age.

I want to say CL. I think he is the most popular movie actor. He’s an action movie actor and his movie is really popular in the whole world. I think even if he is old, but nowadays, many of action movies in China can’t surpass the old movies he act. But I really don’t know his life. Mos

I want to talk about Jackie Chan, who you probably know as well. I think he is the most popular actor in China, by far. He’s an action movie actor and he is popular not only in China, but world wide. I think even though he is old, but nowadays, many of action movies in China can’t surpass the old movies he act. However, like most people in China, I don’t know much about his personal life. We see CL as a national idol actor, but we don’t think his personal life is very important. I think young people in China don’t really follow the local entertainment circle. We like foreign celebrities more – such as American or Korean idols./stars. Maybe this is why the most popular actor in China is still CL, who is very old now.

The older person I want to talk about is my father. My father is a very patient man but sometimes he was obstinate. He was very brave and strong after my gp gone. He built this home and make it better day and day. Even if he’s not very rich, he is always patient to teach me from the life or study. Even sometimes he will argued with my mom and me but after that we still keep a good relationship. Sometimes he is not good at on the computer, so he always faced a lot of problems, luckily, I was more confident on that, so I will help him to overcome the trouble and problems.

The older person I want to talk about is my father./The first person that comes to my mind is my father. My father is a very patient man but sometimes he is a little stubborn. He was very brave and strong after my gp was gone/passed away. He built this home and made it better day by day.  He is always patient to teach me on everything/anything about life or study. Even sometimes he argues with my mom and me but after that we still keep a good relationship. I think he is successful at his job and also to his family. There are lots of things I can learn from him, and I want to be a man just like him in the future.
