1. Unit 1C – B2+: In what ways might you get distracted from working or studying?
2. UNIT 4B – B2+: How often do you shop for clothes?
I don’t really buy new clothes that often for myself as it usually takes a long
time to wear them down. And, unless my clothes are worn out to make them
look old, I don’t like to buy any clothes for myself. So, anyway, if you are

than that.

10. UNIT 8C - B2: Do you like art? What kind of art do you like?
I have a lifelong passion for art since I was a child. Beside the official art class in
school, I also joined a drawing class in The Children’ House and my teachers were
very pleased with my drawings. I also participated in some drawing competitions
back then. Until now I still draw in my free time, although not as often as I used to do.
In my opinion, people love hanging landscape paintings at home. Bringing in the
beauty of Mother Nature somehow ease people’s mind after a long day at work.
Another style of drawing that most people also like is portrait. It could be portraits of
someone important to them or even their lovely pets.

UNIT 7B – B2: 2. Describe a business plan that you are going to carry out.
Although nobody in my family has ever been involved in starting or running any kind
of business, I have held a secret wish in my heart since my early high school years
that one day I would start a small business to try my luck with entrepreneurship.
Of course, I wasn’t too sure about what kind of business I would start, mainly because I
thought that I would need a substantial amount of money to start a business. Besides, I
also needed some time to understand the “tricks” of business before I could take some
calculated risk in this domain.
So, I decided to wait until I actually start a job and have a first-hand experience in the
real business world. By the way, later on, I realized that one didn’t really need so much
money to start a small business, provided that he or she had a well-crated plan to
outsmart his or competitors.
But, then just before a year, after playing with a lot of small business ideas with the
scope of limited investment, I decided that I would start a fruit juice selling a business
by using the possible freshest fruits. And all I needed for that was a suitable place to
set up my business as well as some good and reliable sources of fresh fruits so that I
didn’t really have to do juggling from one fruit seller to another. But, unfortunately, I
am yet to find a suitable spot to start my fruit selling shop. On top of that, lately, I
have also been very busy with my full-time job, which leaves me very little time to
plan for the setup of my small business.
But, anyway, I would definitely like to start my business now because the longer I
wait, the more difficult it will probably become for me to start my business. After all,
the cost of starting a business keeps only rising these days, and I just don’t have the
luxury to spend extra money or wait for eternity..
UNIT 9C – B2: 3. Describe a time when you met a celebrity.

· Who did you meet?

· What happened next?
· How did you feel afterwards?
