Q178. Libraries, bookstores, coffee shops, parks, and other
locations are where people study. Where is your favorite place to
study and why?
A. Sample Answer
Of all the places mentioned in the statement, my bedroom is the place that I am most fond of
studying at. It offers two main benefits over the other numerous options. The first of them is that it is
a quiet place to study. When I have no distractions in my bedroom because it is where I get dressed
and sleep only. Having no distractions, such as noisy conversations, TV, or other unexpected sounds
helps me to focus on my materials that are in front of me. The second reason why my bedroom is my
favorite place to study is that it has easy access to food and a bathroom. If I am studying at a library,
I’d have to leave it to go get food, since no food or drinks are usually allowed in libraries.
Furthermore, I’d have to take my belongings with me to use a restroom. In my room, I can freely get
up, leave my belongings where they are, and even bring back a glass of lemonade and some chips.
Because studying in my room offers me two great advantages, I would say that my bedroom is my
favorite place to study.

Q179. Explain about the one food you can’t live without.
A. Sample Answer
This question makes me hungry just thinking of the one food I can’t live without, which is any
type of noodle. I love noodles of varieties. They can be spaghetti, rice, buckwheat, or even sweet
potato noodles. Eating noodles is fun because you have to figure out how to pick them up with an
eating utensil. Most people use forks, but in some countries they use chopsticks, which adds an even
further challenge to this slippery food items. My favorite noodles are the clear sweet potato noodles
that are made in Korea. They are sweet and very healthy. Also, I love that you can prepare the
noodles in a variety of different ways. You can add tomato sauce, hot sauce, cheese sauce, and many
other sauces. Because of this, I never get bored of eating noodles. Three hundred sixty five days a
year I could eat a different type of noodle combined with a different type of sauce, and I’d never
repeat it. Since I would never tire of eating noodles and they are fun to eat, I just couldn’t survive
without some form of noodles.
