S1: Talk about an experience of learning something new. What difficulties do you have to overcome in order to learn it?

I can still remember how I first learned to ride a bicycle when I was only six. At first, I found that I wasn't tall enough, so I had to lower the seat so that I can touch ~he ground with the tip of my toes while seated. I did it all by myself. The most difficult thing is to learn how to keep balance. In the beginning, I pushed myself along with my feet and got the feel of how the bike leaned and steered. I did this for about 30 to 45 minutes or so. Then I pushed myself along fast and glided with my feet up in the air. After practicing for an hour I was finally able to ride my bike confidently.

S2: Some people like to watch or listen to news every day while others do that occasionally. Which do you prefer and why? Use specific reasons and examples to illustrate your point.

Well, I opt to listen to and read news every day and that’s what I’ve been doing for the last ten years. For one thing, it’s often the case now that news is constantly updated as the reported event develops, so it’s essential to pay close attention to the news so as to get the whole story. Like the other day when I learned from BBC that an American soldier was kidnapped in Iraq, it took several days to negotiate his release. It was not until this morning that I learnt that he was rescued. Another reason I read and listen to news every day is that it helps me improve my English listening comprehension. Chances are that my listening ability will take a step backwards if I skip for even one day. So these are the reasons I prefer to read and listen to the news every day.
