Two worked examples

Example 1 · Do you enjoy learning practical skills?

Model answer: Yes. I like learning things I can use immediately. Last month I learned to repair a bicycle chain, which has made me more independent.

Why: The answer is direct and adds a reason and example.

Example 2 · Do you prefer studying alone or with someone else?

Model answer: For a new topic, I prefer studying with someone who can explain difficult ideas. Once I understand the basics, I work alone so I can check what I remember.

Why: The answer gives a preference and qualifies it rather than just saying yes or no.

Your independent practice

Answer these questions aloud. Aim for natural answers with reasons or examples.
