Section 3: Writing and Speaking

1. Write a paragraph in which you describe your favourite place to relax.

(Sample answer) My favourite place to relax is my backyard. I have a comfortable lounge chair set up under a big tree, which provides plenty of shade even on hot days. There’s a small pond nearby that’s home to some friendly ducks, and watching them paddle around is always a calming experience. Sometimes I like to read a book or listen to music while I’m out there, but mostly I just enjoy the peace and quiet.

2. Tell a story about a time when you had to overcome a difficult challenge.

(Sample answer) When I was in high school, I joined the debate team without really knowing what I was getting into. I quickly discovered that I wasn’t very good at debating, and some of the other team members were pretty harsh in their criticism of my arguments. I wanted to quit, but I didn’t want to let my team down. So, I started studying harder and practicing more. I asked my coach for help and got some extra tutoring from one of the more experienced members. Eventually, I started to see some improvement and even won a few debates. It wasn’t easy, but I’m proud that I didn’t give up.

3. Imagine that you are stranded on a deserted island with only three items. What are they and why?

(Sample answer) If I were stranded on a deserted island, I would want to have a knife, a water bottle, and a solar-powered radio. The knife would be useful for a variety of tasks, such as making shelter and preparing food. The water bottle would allow me to collect and store any freshwater I find, and would also serve as a signaling device if I need to attract attention. The radio would provide a way for me to stay updated on any rescue efforts or other developments in the world, and would also help me feel less alone.
