It’s hard to choose just one book that I enjoyed. However, if I had to pick one, it would be a book that helped me learn English effectively. The main reason is that this book helped me gain confidence. For example, before I got this book I thought I would fail an English exam that I had to take. But reading the book helped me understand English better and became more confident, so I passed the exam with a high score. So that’s why this book is one that I enjoyed reading.
Choose one book you enjoyed and say why you enjoyed it. Include examples and details in your response.
It's hard to choose only one book that I really like. However, if I have to pick one, it would be a book about choosing a career from my parents. The main reason is that this book helped me decide what to do with my life. For example, when I was a high school student I wanted to work with cars, so I was planning to get a job as a mechanic. However, after reading the book I decided that working with cars would be tedious, so I changed my plan. So that's why I really enjoyed the book about choosing a career.
Describe one place you would like to go for a vacation. Support your answer with details.
It’s hard to choose only one place to go for a vacation. However, if I have to pick one, it would be taking a trip to Rome in Italy. The main reason is that I find Roman history very stimulating. For example, when I was a student at high school and university, I read about the old buildings in Rome. I would love to go and see the real buildings in Rome and learn more about the history and culture of that city. So that's why I would choose to visit Rome.
It's hard to choose just one gift that I really like. However, if I had to pick one. I would be a tablet computer that my parents gave me. The main reason is that my tablet is useful for studying. For example with my tablet I can read books and connect to the internet wherever I am. This means I can study at home, at a cafe, or at a friends’ house, which is very convenient. So that's why I really like my tablet.
