Question 2

Practice 1

Personal Preference.

Listen to two sample responses. Write down any useful expressions.

Opinion 1

I would prefer to live somewhere that is near the mountains. Then I could go for long hikes and backpacking trips.

I enjoy going for hikes in the mountains with my group of friends. It is very rewarding to get to the top of the peak and look out over the city below.

In addition, I would be able to go downhill skiing as much as I wanted during the winter.

Skiing is one of my favorite sports, and I think I would be miserable spending a winter away from the slopes.

Opinion 2

I would prefer to live somewhere that is near the ocean. Then I could learn how to sail, which has been my lifelong dream.

when I was little, my uncle took me out on his sail boat and ever since, I have always wanted to sail my own boat by myself. It is very peaceful drifting out among the waves.

In addition, I would not ever have to endure harsh winters or snowstorms. I want to stay in a place with mild winters, and maritime climates are generally warmer than alpine climates.
