Coins

for payments, so I rarely need coins.
• When I was younger, I did collect coins as a hobby. I remember keeping a
small collection of coins from different countries, and it was interesting to see how
each coin looked.
• Coins aren’t as convenient to use now. With mobile payments and cards, I feel
like using coins has become a bit outdated.
• I still use coins sometimes for small purchases, like buying a drink from a
vending machine. But overall, they’re not part of my daily life anymore.
3.
Roads and Streets
• The roads in my area can be quite busy, especially during rush hours. Traffic
jams are common, especially in the morning and evening, which makes commuting a
bit stressful.

people also cross at other points, especially when they’re in a hurry.

areas where the roads are not in great shape and need repairs.

team can be really rewarding when everyone contributes.

because it’s an opportunity to learn about different perspectives and cultures.

met them through classes and social events, and we often talk about our studies,
hobbies, and life goals.

the summer months. Beaches are more popular in coastal areas, while people in cities
prefer swimming pools.

measures, but swimming in the sea is a different experience. It feels freer, and I enjoy
the waves and natural surroundings, though it can be more tiring due to currents.

for calling and texting. It felt very different from the smartphones people use now.

unwind. It’s my time to relax after a busy day.

having family time. It was always a time to enjoy some fun or relax.
• Nowadays, my evenings are a little different. I spend more time studying or on
my hobbies, whereas before, it was mostly about playing outside.
• On weekends, my evenings are more flexible, and I might go out with friends
or relax at home. On weekdays, I tend to stick to my routine, such as studying or

that doesn’t interest me.
• When I feel bored, I try to change things up by doing something different, like
reading a book, going for a walk, or watching a funny video.

responsibilities, so there might be fewer exciting things to do. But in adulthood, while
there’s more to do, the pressure can make things feel less fun sometimes.

the internet or watching movies. It’s an essential tool in my daily life.

technical issue with the device. It ’ s frustrating when the computer doesn ’ t work

other things, like art or music. Writing has always been my strength.

believe it’s better to try and find the owner directly first.

frustrating. I usually try to retrace my steps to find them.

formal and professional way to communicate with professors, classmates, or
companies.

plans, or share documents. Emails are also useful for formal invitations or official
inquiries.
• Sending emails is popular in China, particularly for business and education.
However, with the rise of instant messaging apps like WeChat, emails may be used less
for casual communication.

you’ve imagined, even if it’s a bit of a challenge.

made me excited to get the toy.

like Beijing or Shanghai, there are often digital billboards or posters advertising
everything from products to services.
• I ’ m neutral about advertisements. Some ads are creative and fun to watch,
especially when they tell a compelling story or use humor. On the other hand, some ads
can feel intrusive or repetitive.

example, ads that focus on social causes or environmental issues can leave a positive
impact. I enjoy ads that are visually appealing or evoke emotion.

time. Sometimes, I also just try to relax and not stress too much about the delay.

visiting a friend. I enjoyed browsing through different stalls and trying some local
food.

unique or to experience the local culture. However, I also like shopping in malls when I

special occasions or when I need to check the time quickly.
• Yes, I’ve received a watch as a gift. It was a thoughtful present, and I liked the
style and design. Watches can be both practical and fashionable.
• Some people wear expensive watches as a status symbol or as a luxury
accessory. Watches can signify success, elegance, or personal taste. For others, it ’ s
simply about having a reliable timepiece.

the time without checking your phone. It can also be a nice accessory to complement
an outfit, though it’s not essential for everyone.
