▮質問 1

What color represents you personality?




サンプル回答


I personally think the color purple would fit my personality I’m not well versed with color psychology, but I think purple stands for something mystical or a mystery It’s also my favorite color, so I might be a little biased here Anyhow, I often come off as snobbish, but that’s really me being shy and just keeping to myself I’m not comfortable telling my life to others and not really into sharing my secrets unless you’re a close friend that I rely on I don’t also have a large peer group so there are only a few people that know me I guess the mystical side of the color purple is really a good representation of my personality Also,I think the color blue also suits me too, since I’m really calm most of the time And when I look at the color blue, a sense of calmness usually goes through me

サンプル回答

I haven’t been to this place yet, but I often see pictures of it I think the colors in every image is breathtaking I’m talking about the spice markets in Dubai and India The photos are always so vibrant because of the colors of the spices There are shades of browns, yellows, oranges, and red I think the color palette falls under warm tones But, I did see other spice market images with other colors such as greens,purples, and blues along with the usual brown and orange shades I really wish I can come by these places as I’d love to see the colors themselves I’d also love to see what common spices people are selling and what the most popular is among buyers I think the activity there is similar to any other market, but I want to experience it anyway I want to know how the place smells with all the mixtures of the spices and how vibrant the colors are And I think that what makes them unique instead of a typical market that seems dull It’s not really the best subject for photos, yet spice markets are colorful and look so alive They make amazing images

▮質問 1

Are you fond of going to museum?



サンプル回答


Yes, I’m fond of going to museums. I’d rather visit a museum than go to the mall or the beach. I have never been that good in art. I can’t paint or draw. But I am proud to say that I do take good photos, and I believe that’s still art. The headteacher in my high school saw my

potential and made me join a contest. If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t even appreciate my talent. Although I have to admit, I have to brush up my camera skills since I haven’t taken photos in so long. Anyway, I have only been to a few museums–just local ones. Although it is my dream to visit Louvre in Paris and Guggenheim in Spain. They have amazing artworks done by amazing artists. I’m mostly a fan of abstract and surrealist paintings. Among my favorite artists were Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali. You can look at their paintings and be mesmerized for hours. I do wish I can visit a museum with their artworks. That would be such a dream come true.

▮質問 2

Describe a painting that you admire.

You should say:

• what the painting is

• who painted the art

• where it is

• And what you think make it

special.

サンプル回答

One of the paintings that I admire was Girl Before a Mirror, which was painted by

Pablo Picasso–one of my favorite artists of all time. I remember seeing

it on an encyclopedia when I was still a kid. I was instantly drawn by the

colors, and the way it was painted. It wasn’t like the realistic paintings from the Renaissance era. It was almost cartoonish. I’m not so good at explaining painting techniques since I’m not a painter myself, but I can say that the painting is a play on humanity’s vanity–that our

reflections are different from what we perceive ourselves to be. Well, that’s my take on it. If it were true, I can’t help but remember the beauty community online and how so many

influencers brush off their true personalities and create a persona that everyone will love. I’m not generalizing, it has become prevalent and even people in the community itself admit it. I do love makeup myself and think that it’s also a form of art, but I think many have forgotten that. Anyway, I think Girl Before a Mirror is such a special painting not just because it’s one of  Picasso’s most famous works but also because it’s still relevant decades after it has been made.

▮質問 1

Are you fluent with another language except your native tongue?



サンプル回答


Yes, I’m fluent in English.  But besides my native tongue, that’s really it.
I would love to learn another language though. Anyway, I think I did the right thing in learning English, first. I can now communicate with more people, especially online. I can finally speak for myself without using translation tools online, especially after  finding out they don’t really do the job well.  Also, I can also understand more songs from American singers. I’m a huge fan of music, so finally understanding the lyrics to my favorite  songs and finding more that speaks to me is an incredible feeling. I can also watch Hollywood films now without subtitles. It’s
such a big deal for me because I love movies,  but I can’t focus on what’s happening in the film when I’m busy reading the subtitles. So, learning English finally made it easier for me to watch and understand what’s happening while knowing what the actors are doing. It’s kind of a liberating feeling. I didn’t know learning another language and being fluent in it can bring such strong emotion.

▮質問 2

Describe the language that you’d like to study. You should say:

• what language it is

• what countries it is used

• how you can study it

• and why you would to study

the language.

サンプル回答

I would love to learn French. I think it’s such a sophisticated language. I often watch videos online of French people speaking their language, and it
seems fun. I love the accent as well. The way they pronounce the words has a romantic vibe to it. I’d also want to learn it, since me and my best friend want to visit France soon. And we would love to speak with the natives. I think many of them aren’t comfortable in English as
well. I know language shouldn’t be a barrier, but it can be tough to visit a
faraway place without knowing even just a few words in their language.
I’ve already seen an online course that teaches basic French, but I’m still
focusing on perfecting my English, so it’ll have to wait. Plus, I also have a
friend who is learning French as well. She’s already an intermediate
speaker, and she has agreed to teach me in the future. In the meantime, I
bought a ‘How to Learn French’ textbook as well as a French dictionary. I tried pronouncing the words with my friend, and she told me to speak up, but when I did, she started laughing so hard. Turns out I’ve been pronouncing every word wrong. Well, I guess French will be hard to learn, but I’m still willing to try it out.
