- dry+ sunny -> work more efficiently + happily

- rainy -> as lazy as a sloth

What’s the weather like in your country?

It depends on which part of the country you are referring to. I’m currently living in the North, I
would say the weather is a bit comfortable because it has all four seasons but sometimes the
weather can also get pretty extreme, especially in the summer when the temperature can reach
up to 40 degree celcius due to terrifying drastic heatwaves sweeping across the city.
 

2. Which season do you like best?

I’m a big fan of summer I think summer is the best season because all the sport activities or
physical activities are at their ultimate level in the summer because you sweat and by sweating
your body detoxifies so it’s really good for you, it’s like refreshing although every now and then I
might get some serious skin complaints like rash or allergies.

When do you need to concentrate the most?

There are many situations when I need to focus 100% on what I’m doing. For instance, it is necessary to
stay focused all the time when I’m driving on the road, to avoid accidents or other dangerous situations.
Or when I have to study for exams, do a test like this or work my butt off to meet deadlines,
concentration is a vital key to success.

Is it difficult for you to stay focused on something?

Yes, it is very hard. I need a very silent and peaceful ambience to stay focused. At that time, I can work
efficiently and easily come up with new ideas. I hate the noise of the surroundings but a very small
volume of jazz also can boost my productivity.
What may distract you when you are trying to stay focused?

There are tons of distractions around me; they might come from my mates, family, neighbours or social
networking sites, such as Facebook notifications. For example, last weekend when I was working on my
new project, I couldn’t really focus on my work because my neighbour had a party and the music was
too loud.

What do you do to help you concentrate?

Honestly, I have been practising yoga and meditation in the morning for about 2 months now to help me
improve my concentration. I also remove some of the things that are distracting me, such as turning off
most of the notifications on my phone, and I create a daily to-do list to help me focus on one thing at a
time.

Is it difficult for you to stay focused on something?

Yes, it is very hard. I need a very silent and peaceful ambience to stay focused. At that time, I can work
efficiently and easily come up with new ideas. I hate the noise of the surroundings but a very small
volume of jazz also can boost my productivity.

1. Would you like to play in a public garden or park?

For sure, I’m a self-described outdoorsy person so I love playing in green spaces. I’ve been
going to various parks and botanical gardens that have an interesting variety of flora and
fauna, which really makes me feel at peace with nature.

2. What do you like to do when visiting a park?

There’s a whole lot of things I can do in a park, really. But what I love most is going jogging. I
mean, where better to do it than surrounded by the flowers, trees and birdsong in the park.

3. How have parks changed today compared to the time you were a kid?

Well, I suppose parks nowadays have transformed drastically compared to when I was small.
The bulk of them now has more recreational facilities and adventure playgrounds, as opposed
to the past, when all I could see in a park was pretty much only grass, lakes, and trees.

4. Would you prefer to play in a private garden or public garden?

I’d say that I have a stronger preference for the latter. It’s because not only do community
gardens normally have a wider range of flora and fauna than their private counterparts, they
also better foster social relationships since access is given to everyone.
 1. Do you like science?

To be frank with you, I’m not exactly a big fan of science ‘cause it’s always been a closed
book to me. Though I know it helps me to acquire an in-depth understanding of the world, I
always find it perplexing.

2. When did you start to learn about science?

It was way back in the early part of my school years. I got to study rudimentary maths, physics
and biology. I was pretty good at them back then, unlike now, when a math problem could give
me a really hard time solving it.

3. Which science subject is interesting to you?

Well, I have a keen interest in chemistry. Back when I was in secondary school, I
was infatuated with this subject ’cause I took enormous enjoyment in watching all these
chemical reactions and balancing chemical equations.

4. What kinds of interesting things have you done with science?

If my memory serves me right, there have been a few occasions that I’ve had fun doing
scientific experiments. I remember there was one time when I almost burned the class down
because of my clumsiness during a chemical experiment. The whole class was engulfed in
smoke and everybody actually burst into laughter.

1. Do you like buying shoes?

Absolutely yes! Especially those fancy trainers never fail to excite me (or never

fails to tickle my fancy) (lol). I would love to buy as many shoes as I can provided I
have enough money. Also, it’s one of the must-have accessories to top off your
outfits and really shows your sense of fashion.

3. Have you ever bought shoes online?

Yes, actually I did buy a pair of Zara shoes a couple of years ago from a reputable
shop on Facebook. They are quite reliable and I’m still wearing them even now.

4. Do you prefer shoes that are fashionable or comfortable?

Ideally, they would be a combination of both. I couldn’t wear an ugly pair of

shoes no matter how comfortable they were because they will not suit my outfits. On
the other hand, even if I loved the way the shoes looked, I wouldn’t want to be in
pain every time I wore them. Even worse, my feet would be worn-out.

How much money do you usually spend on shoes?

I want to get good-quality shoes, so I usually spend a hundred dollars on a pair. It’s worth it for shoes that will
last a long time. Cheaper shoes are more budget-friendly, but they wear out a lot quicker. When you have to
replace them pretty often, its actually more expensive in the long run.

1. Do you use headphones?

Yes, I use headphones pretty often. It’s a great way to help me time out any
distractions. Plus, listening to music is a much better experience when you have
headphones on. You can hear everything more clearly. When I have headphones on, I
can also turn up the music as loud as I want without bugging anyone

Q2. What type of headphones do you use?

I just bought Sony wireless headphones from Amazon. They are
convenient as I can keep my phone in my bag and keep my hands free.
Also, I don’t have to worry about the wires entangling.
Q3. When would you use headphones?
I would use headphones for listening to music when I am on the bus on
my way to work. I also use them while working out at the gym.
Sometimes when I have an important assignment, I use them to
concentrate on my work and not get distracted.
Q4. In what conditions, you won’t use headphones?
I don’t use headphones when I am driving a car, bike, or motorcycle.
They block out our hearing senses and can be distracting. I also don’t
use them when I am with friends and family. I think it’s rude to use them
while interacting with people, and I should be paying full attention to
them.

Handwriting

 Do you like handwriting?

Well, I rarely write with my hands. When I was a kid, I did that on a daily
basis but not anymore now; most of the time I type on my laptop. I haven’t
written anything up to 300 words for several years, so I reckon my
handwriting is kinda spidery now (laugh).

 Is your handwriting easy to read?

Well, I suppose it’s quite legible when I take time to write properly. In case I have to take notes
in a hurry or when I’m writing under pressure, however, I would fail to write neatly. Perhaps,
that’s why I never got exceptional marks at writing exams during high schools.

 Do you think handwriting is important?

I reckon students with neat and clean cursives may have an edge

over those with bad handwriting. My former teachers would complain all the
time that my words are illegible, some of whom even gave me bad grades
(laugh). However, it’s not that important in the 21  century’s world of work –
st

office workers do not bother writing anything with hands.

 Which do you prefer, handwriting or typing?

Typing obviously. Most, if not all, of my work involves a lot of keyboard tapping. I spend on average 6
hours a day typing, and I don’t think I actually hand-write anything except for when I need to sign,
scribble out a shopping list or, once in a blue moon, write love letters (laugh).

 What are the differences between handwriting and typing?

- hand -> tedious + time-consuming -> worn-out

- computer keyboard -> comfortable
