Describe a useful skill you have learned.

A useful skill I have learned is problem-solving skill. I learned it in my daily life because people often face different problems and we need to find ways to solve them. I practice this skill when I meet problems in my own life. For example, sometimes my friends ask me how to communicate with their parents. When I think about their problems and share my experience, I also improve my own problem-solving skills. I think this skill is very useful because everyone will face different problems. If we have problem-solving skills, we can stay calm and try to find a solution. I would like to share my experience with others, but I don't think I have enough experience yet because I am only nineteen years old.

Describe your best friend.

This is a very interesting question. I have many friends in my life, such as my classmates and neighbors, but today I would like to talk about my best friend, Tracey. She is nineteen years old, and we are the same age. She is my high school classmate. She is short with long brown hair, and she wears glasses. She is outgoing, and she likes watching TikTok. I have known her for five years, and I see her three times a week. I really enjoy spending time with her. First, I enjoy going shopping with her. We have the same taste in fashion, so it is easy and fun for us to shop together. Second, I enjoy playing mahjong with her. She is a great player, and she teaches me how to play mahjong well. Also, I enjoy trying new food with her because we have the same taste in food and we both like spicy food. When I spend time with Tracey, I feel happy and relaxed. That is why she is an important friend to me.

Describe a useful app on your phone.

This is a very interesting question. There are many useful apps on my phone, such as WeChat, Instagram and TikTok, but today I would like to talk about WeChat. I first started using WeChat around eight years ago, and I use it on a daily basis. I usually spend at least three hours on it every day. I use it everywhere, such as at home, on the subway or bus, and even at school. WeChat is very important to me because I use it to communicate with my friends and family. I studied in Australia last year, so during that time I needed to send messages to my mom and my best friend back home. WeChat can also do many other things. When I feel bored, I play games on WeChat. The games are fun and free to play. I also watch short video clips on it, and I can shoot vlogs to share my daily life with others, such as what I ate, what I cooked and where I went for fun. I can also shop on WeChat, and WeChat Pay is extremely important in China. If I cannot log into WeChat, I feel like I cannot do anything. So I think WeChat is the most useful app on my phone.

Describe a technology you own and use.

This is a very interesting question. There are many technologies that I own and use all the time, such as my smartphone, laptop and tablet, but today I would like to talk about my smartphone. I first started using a smartphone about nine years ago. Now I use my phone on a daily basis, and honestly I use it more than fifteen hours a day. I use it everywhere, such as at school, on the subway or bus. With my smartphone, I can do a lot of things. First, I can play games on it. The games on my smartphone are free and fun to play. Second, I can use Uber on my iPhone, and it only takes about two minutes for me to call a ride, so it is very convenient. I also use my phone to communicate with my friends and family. I studied in Australia last year, so I needed to send messages to my mom and my best friend. Another thing is that I use my phone to shoot vlogs. I like to share my daily life with others, like what I eat, what I cook or what I do for fun. However, I think I use my phone too much, so I would like to reduce the time I spend on my phone.

Describe a film.

Today, I would like to talk about a science fiction film called Guardians of the Galaxy Volume Two. It is about a group of superheroes. They travel in space, visit different planets and fight bad guys. The story is set in space in the future, so it is full of imagination. What really makes me like this movie is that the story is unique and interesting. It is not the same as other movies. The actors and actresses also did a really good job. They made the characters believable and relatable, almost as if these superheroes could exist in real life. Another thing I like is the cinematography. The movie is colorful and vivid, and the computer graphics are amazing. The sound effects are also very impactful, and the music is exciting. Lastly, I like the romance between the main characters because it is also a love story. I first watched this movie by myself, and I liked it so much that I wanted to recommend it to my friends and family. For me, it is a relaxing and fun movie to watch.

Describe a new house or apartment.

Today, I would like to talk about my best friend Tracey, who recently moved into a new apartment. I have known Tracey for several years, and she is one of my closest friends. Her new apartment is really big. It is more than one hundred square meters, so it feels very spacious. The most impressive room is the bathroom because there is a huge bathtub in it. Every time I visit her, I really want to take a bubble bath there because it looks so relaxing. Another thing I like about her apartment is the window in her bedroom. It is very big, and if you look out of the window, you can see trees and parks. Sometimes you can also see kids playing outside. The view is especially beautiful in spring and summer. The location is also very convenient. Her apartment is right in the heart of the city, so it is easy for us to visit her. It is also easy to order takeout or go shopping because there is a huge shopping mall near her place. The best part is that the mall also has our favorite clothing store, which is called Chikbak. This new place has a positive impact on me. Every time I visit her, I feel happy and relaxed. At the same time, it also motivates me to work harder because I hope I can afford an apartment just like that in the future.

Describe a polluted city.

This is a very interesting question. There are many polluted cities I have been to, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Chongqing. Today, I would like to talk about Chongqing, my hometown. Chongqing is one of the biggest cities in China, and there are more than twenty million people in the city. I have lived there for many years. The city is quite polluted, and it is difficult to see the stars at night. There are many reasons why it is polluted. The first reason is the factories. Chongqing is an industrial city, and a lot of things are made there, including cars, motorcycles and steel. These factories produce tons of greenhouse gases. The second reason is that the place is crowded and hot, so people often turn on their air conditioning during summer. People also like eating outside and having barbecues in the streets. These restaurants and barbecues produce a lot of smoke. The third kind of pollution is traffic. Nowadays, almost every Chinese family owns a car, and some families own more than one car. All of these cars produce carbon emissions and make the air quality worse.
