3. How important are credit cards nowadays? Well, in China, credit cards are not that important when you go grocery shopping
because many small shops don't accept them, but they are definitely very useful when you
purchase something expensive. For example, if you buy a computer, or a pricey piece of
furniture, you can just swipe your Visa card, instead of carrying a huge amount of cash on
you. It's much safer. In addition, they are very convenient because you can buy something
even if you don't have the money on your card. You can get credit from a bank, which you
can pay back later: it's very practical. Credit cards are also necessary/indispensable if you
want to buy something online.
4. How important are friends to you? Friends play a significant part in my life. I try to see my friends as often as possible.
We frequently get together to chat and have a good time. My friends are a fundamental part
of my life and I really depend on them, especially when I have good news, or whenever I
don't feel so cheerful. I think it's essential to have friends you can trust and rely on.
5. How important is sport in children’s social and physical development? I think that sport is an essential part of children’s daily routines, because sports can
make kids stronger and healthier. They need to run and jump to make their muscles work. In
addition, there is no doubt that playing sports is a great way for them to socialize. They can
make friends through sports. On top of this, they can learn the notions of "team-work" and
“
team-spirit
”
, which are fundamental in today’s world.
6. How important are clothes as an expression of personality? Well, I think that clothes can definitely reflect a person's tastes since everyone usually
picks his or her own clothes. Someone who likes to wear dark clothes all the time might want
to keep a low profile: he might be a little shy. On the other hand, it's extremely important to
remember that it would be a mistake to judge someone's personality according to his or her
clothes only. A man wearing a suit might look serious and cold, but he may well be a party-
animal as soon as he leaves work! Frequently, clothes represent someone's profession more
than their personality. As you say in English, “You shouldn't judge a book by its cover.”
