Yes, I often go to the library, especially when I need a quiet place to study or do research for my assignments. I usually visit it on weekends or during exam periods because it helps me concentrate better than studying at home. The atmosphere in the library is peaceful, and it really motivates me to focus and be productive. People often do many activities in the library. Most of them read books, study for their exams, or use the computers to look for information. Some students work in groups for their projects, while others go there simply to relax and enjoy reading novels or magazines. Libraries are not only for studying but also great places to explore knowledge and learn new things. When I introduce a book to others, I usually start by telling them the title, the author’s name, and the main idea of the story. Then, I share why I like it or what message I got from it. I also explain which kind of readers might enjoy it most — for example, people who love adventure, mystery, or romance. That way, they can decide if it’s the kind of book they would like to read.
Yes, I have been interviewed a few times, mostly for part-time jobs and school programs. My first interview was quite memorable because I was both nervous and excited. It was a great experience that helped me understand how important preparation and confidence are when talking to interviewers. Before an interview, I usually prepare by learning about the company or the organization I’m applying to. I also review my CV carefully, think about common interview questions, and practice answering them in English if needed. Sometimes, I even stand in front of a mirror to practice speaking clearly and confidently. I also choose appropriate clothes because first impressions really matter. During the interview, I usually feel a bit nervous at the beginning, but after a few minutes, I start to relax and feel more confident. When I realize the interviewer is friendly and just wants to know more about me, I can speak more naturally. After the interview, I always feel proud of myself for trying my best and learning something new from the experience.
If I had to choose a way to prepare a presentation, I would definitely choose to use PowerPoint. I think it’s the best option because it’s professional, easy to organize, and visually attractive. With PowerPoint, I can include pictures, graphs, and even short videos to make my ideas clearer and more interesting. It also helps the audience follow my points easily since each slide highlights the key information. Using posters is fine for small group discussions, but it can be difficult to show detailed information, especially when there’s a big audience. Making video clips is creative and fun, but it takes a lot of time and technical skills to edit and prepare everything. That’s why I believe PowerPoint is the most convenient and effective choice. It allows me to express my ideas clearly, stay organized, and engage my audience throughout the presentation. It’s also flexible—I can use it in both online and face-to-face settings, which makes it perfect for modern presentations.
I think a good teacher needs to have broad knowledge, a real passion for teaching, and effective teaching methods. A teacher who truly loves their job can inspire students to learn better and enjoy the subject more. Knowledge and passion together make learning exciting and meaningful for students. To improve the quality of pair work activities, teachers can give clear instructions and choose interesting topics that encourage students to talk naturally. They should also monitor students during the activity, give feedback, and make sure everyone participates equally. When students feel supported and confident, pair work becomes more useful and enjoyable. The most difficult part of being a teacher, in my opinion, is dealing with students who have different learning abilities and personalities. It takes a lot of patience and creativity to make lessons suitable for everyone. Despite the challenges, I would still say teaching is a very good occupation because teachers play an important role in shaping the future generation. They not only share knowledge but also inspire values and life skills that students will carry with them forever.
