Q147. What is your favorite type of exercise?
A. Sample Answer
My favorite type of exercise is playing soccer. I have two reasons to support my opinion. Firstly,
I can play with many people I don't know. Since soccer is a team sport, I can play with my friends
and learn good sportsmanship. Soccer is a great way for me to meet people, and it's how I met
people when I first came to America. Secondly, playing soccer involves a good mixture of cardio.
There is a lot of running, jumping, kicking, and other moves. These kinds of exercises help keep me
slim and trim and can even help me get a six pack. For these reasons, my favorite exercise is playing
soccer.

Q148. When you choose a friend, which quality is more important
in that person: honesty or physical appearance?
A. Sample Answer
Physical appearance is more important when choosing a friend. If we are not friends with pretty
people, we will not be popular and therefore, we might jeopardize potential new friendships. For
example, I was once friends with an ugly person, and then nobody wanted to be friends with me.
Being popular is just too important. Also, if we have beautiful friends, then we can get free stuff.
People give out free food, drinks, and toys to other people they think are pretty. If we have only
beautiful friends, then we might get some of that free stuff too. For these reasons, I prefer to choose
my friends based on how they look.
