afternoon.

I play games on a pretty regular basis.

For me, I fancy King of Glory, you know, a popular mobile game.
But to be honest, I’m not really a team player. I only play by
myself.
The reason why I love doing this is that it’s easy to manage the
time and I don’t have to care about the results of the games, like
win or lose. Plus, playing games can work as a great stress reliever
and I could enjoy the time to switch off. It’s a perfect way to have
fun playing as an assassin and killing other players. I mean it’s so
enjoyable to win the game.

Concentration
Concentrate = focus on
Do you think you have great concentration?
Yes, I believe I have great concentration when I am trying to stay
focused on some targets.
It’s kind of important when you are doing something especially
something with a deadline. So that you can do things with great
focus and efficiency.
I love to do that and I believe I have the ability to do so is not only
because I’m kind of a busy man, I have loads of jobs to do, so that
I have to do the things with 100% focus, but also, I guess I have
some tips to help me focus which is to put my smart phone away.
By doing this, nothing can distract me and I can fully concentrate
on my work with better quality.

psychological health, since it’s a great stress reliever. B, I guess it’s
a great way to meet to chat with my friends so that this may
boost our bonds.

Do you like sport?

Not really, it’s just not my thing.
The reason is because doing sport can make me tired and even
exhausted. Sometimes it can even make me sweaty and dirty.
You know, for me, comparing with doing sport, I personally prefer
mobile games. It’s so much more funny and it helps me take my
mind off things.

Cooking
Do you usually cook?
Yes, I do.
I usually cook at home for my family. And my favourite type of
food is actually Chinese food.
This is because the food I cooked can be so delicious and healthy.
No, I don’t think so.
Cooking is just not my thing. Cooking is a lot of work and
sometimes I have to say it’s really time-consuming.
Ok for me, if I’m hungry, I will just order some food online which
is so much more convenient and time-saving. The food I order can
be delivered to my door in just 20 minutes. What’s more, I can
enjoy all different kinds of flavours and styles of foods from the
globe.

A or B
Answer A
Reason A is good
Contrast B is not good

What kinds of mean of transport do you prefer? Private one or

public one?
I personally prefer private transport rather than public one.
This is mainly because driving is so convenient and comfortable. I
don’t have to worry about the weather, the time, the
destinations. All I need to make sure is the tank is full.
However, if you take the public transport like bus, tram something
like that, first, you have poor privacy since it’s quite crowded on
those vehicles. And second, the waiting time of public transport
especially bus is just way beyond my limit. I couldn’t bear it, it’s so
time-consuming.
So that I just prefer driving to bus or other public transport.

Which one do you like? Shopping online or shopping in offline

stores?
Basically, we choose to shop online comparing with shopping
offline.
The main reason is that shopping online is so much more
convenient and time-saving. All you need to do is to open some
shopping apps like Taobao or JD.com, and then we can just order
anything we need. What’s more, the items and categories are far
more diversified online. We can find anything we want. They can
be delivered to our door in just a few days.
However, nowadays I seldom go shopping offline in like
supermarkets or shopping malls. This is probability because I
don’t have the time and energy to do so and what’s more the
products in shopping centre is sometimes more expensive
comparing with the same products online. So that I only buy
things that is necessary to buy offline like vegetables and some
deli since I have to make sure their quality and freshness.

Which one do you prefer, tea or coffee?

I prefer coffee rather than tea.

Everyday I’d like to have a cup of coffee in the morning and
another one in the afternoon. Coffee makes me more energetic
during the daily work. And I guess coffee can work as a great way
to clear my head.
However, tea is just not my thing especially the flavour. I don’t
fancy the taste of it. It’s just way too bitter. For coffee, you know,
we can take milk and sugar in coffee. But I don’t think it’s a great
combination for green tea and sugar. So, I guess I would stick with
coffee.
