Actual Test

7.3 Do you like to use a calculator? 
Yes, I do love using a calculator to make everything simpler! It allows me to 
calculate numbers more quickly without having to thinking much. I just need to 
input the figures into the calculator, then the right answers are displayed on the 
screen. 
8. Sports/Physical Exercises
8.1. Do you like to watch sports on TV? 
Not at all! I despise (hate) it. I get extremely bored and disinterested. I usually 
try to avoid watching sports on TV at all costs unless it’s an exciting event, like 
the World Cup or Super Bowl. In that case, I go for the social event rather than 
the game itself. 
8.2. Do you play any sports? 
Not anymore. I was an avid (enthusiastic) swimmer as a child, but I gave that 
up after high school, as it was quite time-consuming. Nowadays, I enjoy going

to the gym, running around the lake by my house, and going on mountain treks. 
I’m not sure if these are considered sports, but I’m really into physical activity. 
8.3. Which is the popular sports in your country? 
Soccer of course! As soccer is the sport of the world, that would be number one. 
People go wild when our team wins a game- they even drive around waving 
flags, blocking off the streets! Apart from this, many people enjoy playing tennis 
and doing martial arts.
8.4. Who is your favorite sports star? 
As I’m not a big sports fan, I don't really have one. However, I think I may like 
Cristiano Ronaldo. Although I don't know anything about him or his athletic 
abilities, I think I've always been drawn to him (attracted to) because of his 
looks.
8.5. What kinds of sports would you like to try in the future? 
I’m really intrigued by soccer. I think it’s something that can really connect 
people, as well as is good cardiovascular and coordination activity. Actually, I 
wish I had gotten into it as a child. I think it would be interesting to join a league 
in my city.
