MULTI LEVEL PRACTICE TEST 10

PART 1

8.1. Do you think it’s important to keep the city clean?

Very! Our future generation relies on what we do to take care of our planet in
the present. Furthermore, I believe we all have a social responsibility to do what
we can to keep it as clean as possible. It is negative to our health, as well as how
it looks aesthetically (appealing to beauty) to have a dirty city.
8.2. Do you recycle things like paper and plastic?
Always. First, I separate the garbage in my house into paper, plastic, glass, etc
then take it to the recycling bin which is available in my condominium complex.
Along with this, I reuse plastic as often as possible.
8.3. What do you do when you see rubbish on the street?
Pick it up. If I can find a garbage can or recycling bin, I’ll take it there. If I can’t,
I’ll carry it with me until I can dispose of it at my house. I know it’s yucky
(disgusting) to carry it around, but it’s worth it.
8.4. Can you suggest why some people throw their litter on the ground?I
think it could be because of lack of concern, ignorance, or perhaps lack of
education. I think this education all starts at home and school, so they just simply
may not know if they never learned. Furthermore, I think some people simply
don’t care because they don’t think their one small act with have a negative effect
on the planet.
8.5. Would you like to help other people to keep your town or city tidy?
Absolutely! I love to take part in city clean-up activities. It would be my dream
to start my own NGO, so I’m even thinking about creating one with an
environmental cause. Apart from this, I’m a teacher, so I always integrate
environmental topics into my classes.
8.6. Do you think plastic bags are a serious environmental problem?
Very! They aren’t the only subject to focus on, but there is concrete evidence of
the negative effects that plastic has on our entire planet and ecosystems, as it
cannot decompose. I feel very upset when I see videos of animals dying from
ingesting plastic, etc.
 8.7. Do you think it's important to protect the environment?
Very! It isn’t something that only affects us, but also our future generations. If
we destroy the planet now, there won’t be a healthy one for our children,
grandchildren, and so on. Furthermore, along with humans, we also have to think
about the state of our ecosystems in order to create a sustainable future.
8.8. Do you think schools should educate children to protect the
environment?
Of course! Education is a very powerful tool to change the world. We have to
educate them on even the simple steps they can take to create a more
sustainable future, as well as let them know the risks we face. Moreover, we have
to show them the significance of it all.

PART 2

Describe a time you visited a place with friends.

You should say:

where you went;
what you did there;
who you were with;
and explain why it was a memorable experience.

Well, I spend my spare (extra) time with my friends quite often. I'd especially
like to talk about a time my friends and traveled to Thailand after graduating
medical school. After all those years of blood, sweat, and tears (an expression
for hard work), we really deserved this trip.

I vividly (a lot of details) remember this moment because as soon as we got

out of our final exams, we were all aboard on the way to Bangkok. 6 of us had
originally agreed upon going, but finally 2 bailed at the last minute. When I think
about it, it was an experience to bond (connect deeply) more with just this small
group.
The main reason visiting there was to get away from the stress gained62from
studying very hard. Speaking of what we did there, it was pure relaxation and
discovery. We saw everything from the majestic pagodas and kingdoms in
Bangkok to the pristine (elegant), white-sanded beaches in the Phi Phi Islands. Even
more than just the incredible landscapes, the kind-hearted, welcoming people
were what really left their mark (left an impression) on us.

To sum up, we truly had a blast on this trip. It was really what we needed at the
time! I’ll never forget the flavors of pad thai and bubble tea! It was 100% a blast(a
lot of fun).

PART 3
Do you think childhood friendship can last for long?
Yes, I truly believe that childhood friendship can last forever since in childhood, we
make friends without any condition or selfishness. Being a child, one is innocent and
thus, one is able to find friends according to one’s liking and disliking. However, in
adulthood, there are a number of factors that are responsible to choose someone as
friend, for example, appearance, status, wealth etc.
Is it important that people should have good friendship while at work?
Definitely, it is essential for people to have friendship at the workplace because if you
are being treated as a good friend, you can work better being surrounded by a positive
work environment. It is even important for those employees who work in teams as they
are able to achieve their targets and goals if they know each other well being friends.
Do you remember the friends you had made in childhood?
Yes, I very well remember my childhood friends. They are actually in touch with me
every time though social media channels such as Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp. A
number of times we meet together in family functions and festivals to celebrate. The
kind of friendship we had since childhood, we cannot forget at all and we would
continue this in the future as well.
Is it easy to make friends now as compared to the past?
I think it is comparatively easy to make friends now as compared to the ancient times
when there never used to be so much technology available and the mode of
communication had no existence at all. But now, you have social media websites
where you can make new friends within seconds. For example, Facebook is the
website where people send requests to each other and become friends in no time.
What are the important qualities of a good friend?
A good friend should, first of all, be trustworthy and honest. If you cannot trust
someone, he cannot be your true friend. Apart from these qualities, a friend should be
understanding and helpful so that he can help you at the time you face any difficulty or
troublesome situation in your life. Let’s say, if you need money, a good friend would
help you with the money you can borrow at the time of financial constraints.
