Question 2

Practice 3

Personal Preference.

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

Opinion 1

I would prefer to work and make money in the summer.

This would give me spending money during the school year to go on trips with my friends.

For example, last semester, my friends and I took a spring break trip to Europe. It was a remarkable experience, and I could not have afforded it if I had not worked throughout my summer vacation.

Also, if I do not have a job during this period, I often get boring. I would rather keep busy at a job earning money than sit around at home with nothing to do.

Opinion 2

I would prefer to take the summer off. This would give me time to rest after a busy school year.

For example, last year I worked so hard during the school year that I often did not get enough sleep.

It is nice to have a summer where I can sleep late and recuperate. Also, if I do not have to work during this period, then I have time to do things I enjoy.

I would rather hang out with my friends, go swimming, and read novels and go to the same job every day.
