QUESTIONS FOR PART 3
30.1. What skills are necessary when making decisions?
Off the top of my head, there are quite a few skills which should be made use of when
we make a decision. The first one is that we should have a clear vision of what the future
is like before a decision is reached. To be precise, we must weigh the pros and cons as
well as the worst-case scenarios of each option. Secondly,
it ought to be noted that
judging our own ability correctly is another skill which is usually ignored. We should be
aware of our strengths and weaknesses before deciding whether to take risks or not.
30.2. Do parents in your country allow their children to make important decisions about
the future?
Usually, parents are really influential when it comes to big decisions in a person’s
lifetime. Since they have previous experience, they often impose their thinking on their
kids and sometimes urge them to follow their advice. However, the final decision
usually depends on the children themselves. This is simply because they are the ones
who will take responsibility for their actions.
30.3. Do you think that parents should make important decisions for their children?
It’s true that parents have previous experience and they often impose their thinking on
their kids and sometimes urge them to follow their advice. However, the final decision
should depend on the children themselves. This is simply because they are the ones
who will take responsibility for their actions. So, a father’s or mother’s role here is to
inform the young of the consequences they have to bear if a certain decision is made.
30.4. How can older people (parents) help young people (their children) make their own
decisions wisely?
There are a couple of methods that older people or parents can take into account when
they want to help their grandchildren or children to have more informed decisions. The
first one is that they should really give advice from their owrn experience rather than
from word of mouth. Sometimes, the success of others might be one’s failure. The
second approach can be that adults should encourage their kids to be on the go, actively
seeking information and experience from others rather
than being passive and
randomly) making a decision.
31. Describe an enjoyable experience you had in the countryside/
Describe an unforgettable experience you have had.
It was two years ago when I had my very first motorbike trip with my friends to the first
and most ancient village which is located in the Southern [your country]. It is an
unforgettable trip that I’ve ever had.
Our group had 3 people, Jack, Jenny and me. We chose to visit that village because we
wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of the
city and get off the beaten
track. Moreover, because the village is also the birthplace of my grandparent, I felt really
excited to visit the village and get a closer insight into the lifestyle of local people as well
as my grandparent.
We set out for a day trip to date back to the tradition of our country really early. I’m
always a night owl, not an early bird, so leaving the city at 5 a.m made me feel like I was
deprived of sleep. However, I was deliriously happy shortly after embarking on the trip
to the village. This was because on the way to get there, we admired the breathtaking
landscapes which is totally different from the city we are currently living in. After 1 hour
drive, we got to the picturesque village which made me feel over the moon. We rented
some bikes to cycle around the village with a lot of small alleyways filled with green
grass. After riding a bike to the paddy field to get the vibes of the village, we visited some
400 year old ancient house which made of mud and laterite and had a look at communal
houses where the local people gathered for festival celebration or public meeting. After
that, we had lunch with many scrumptious food which is locally and organically grown.
In
the afternoon, we joined a cooking class with the villagers who were extremely
friendly and clever at making traditional cakes. The highlight of the trip to the village
was going to the paddy fields to help the farmers harvest the crop. It was such an once-
in-a-lifetime experience which I really enjoyed.
That was our first motorbike trip to the outskirt of the
city and first time in the
countryside so we really enjoyed every single moment there. Jenny was like a dog with
two tails while Jack and I were also on cloud nine. We relished everything in the village
from the fresh air, cozy ambiance to beautiful landscapes such as small houses or paddy
fields. We very much hope that we can embark on a longer trip to the countryside down
the road if we have more spare time.
