Do you like wearing T-shirts?

Yeah, love T-shirts like V-neck and striped Tees. They go with everything, and I prefer that simple, casual style with some details like the necklace. It’s fun to spend a little time building my looks together.

How often do you wear T-shirts?

I probably wear T-shirts every day in summer. The pure cotton ones are my favorite coz they are comfortable to wear and they don’t smell awful after workout. I just wear Tees on my weekdays and also on my days off.

Do you like T-shirts with pictures or prints?

Well, I love the T-shirts with pictures and things that are not standing out. It’s because they make the Tees look so tacky. And small prints like the badge design can be better.

Do you think older people who wear T-shirts are fashionable?

Actually, it depends on the outfits and how they look on different people. If a senior citizen that is overweight wears a baggy T-shirt, this person is gonna look like he or she is in low spirits. If the person wears the Tee that is body conscious, and goes well with the trousers or the accessories kind of things, then he or she definitely looks fashionable.

Would you buy T-shirts as souvenirs on vacation?

Yeah, I’d like to buy the Tees as souvenirs coz they’re like the reminders of the experiences. What’s more, some Tees are co-branded or designed by some doodle artists. I just feel like I can’t miss them. Sometimes, the slogans and paints on the Tees really have a calming effect.

Do you like singing? Why?

Yes, I do. Although I’m often out of tune when I sing, and I was told that I had no sense of rhythm, I’m still fond of singing because it makes me happy. I usually sing when taking a shower as the acoustics in the bathroom somehow makes me sound better, my voice is deeper and sounds more resonant than usual.

Have you ever learnt how to sing?

Yes, I have. Every child in China takes music lessons in primary school/ kindergarten. If my memory serves me right, we started to learn singing at pretty young age. I’ve forgotten most of what I learnt though.

SAMPLE ANSWER

A few months ago, I decided to learn how to play the guitar. I had always been fascinated by music and thought that learning an instrument would be a great way to express myself creatively.

Learning the guitar proved to be quite challenging for several reasons. Firstly, mastering the basic chords and finger placements was difficult. My fingers were not accustomed to pressing down on the strings correctly, which made producing clear notes hard. Additionally, coordinating my strumming hand with my fretting hand was tricky, and I often struggled with rhythm and timing.

To overcome these challenges, I adopted a systematic approach. I started by practicing basic chords and simple songs daily, even if it was just for 15 minutes. I also sought help from online tutorials and joined a beginner’s class to receive feedback from an instructor. Consistent practice and patience were crucial, and gradually, I started to see improvement. I also recorded myself to track my progress and make adjustments.

Learning the guitar has had a significant impact on me. It not only improved my patience and perseverance but also boosted my confidence as I saw my skills progress over time. Playing music has become a relaxing hobby, and it helps me unwind after a busy day. Moreover, it has opened up new social opportunities, as I’ve connected with other musicians and joined local jam sessions.

Do you think it is important to face challenges when learning something new? Why or why not?

Yes, I believe it is important to face challenges when learning something new. Challenges push us to grow and develop resilience. Overcoming difficulties helps build confidence and mastery of the subject. Without facing these obstacles, the learning process might not be as rewarding or enriching. It’s through overcoming challenges that we truly learn and improve.

How do you stay motivated when you find something difficult to learn?

Staying motivated can be tough, but setting small, achievable goals helps. I try to break down the learning process into manageable steps and celebrate small victories along the way. Additionally, reminding myself of the reasons why I wanted to learn the new skill in the first place keeps me focused. Surrounding myself with supportive friends or mentors who encourage me also helps maintain my motivation.

Additionally, acquiring new skills often leads to personal and professional growth. It can also provide a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction, as well as open up new opportunities for career advancement or personal enrichment.
