Part 3 
Exercise 4
Model answers:
1 That’s interesting. Let me see. Firstly, I think 
people are getting married when they are 
older now. People got married really young in 
my parents’ generation. In my opinion, I think 
organizing events is very different. Today we 
can plan things using the internet at home, but 
in the past people spent lots of time travelling 
to shops or places to discuss events.
2 That’s an interesting question. There are lots 
of ways to remember important events. I think 
people should remember the most important 
events by learning about the event and then 
going to a celebration each year. In my country, 
we have parades or festivals to remember 
important events. I think this is a good way.
3 In my country, sports and exams are very 
important. For example, there are lots of 
schools with special departments that teach 
sports and the teachers are sometimes 
professional sports people. I think all schools 
organize lots of extra tuition to help students 
before exams. I had problems in my last year 
at school and I had extra classes to help me. 
It’s important to work hard.
4 Yes, definitely. I’ve got lots of photos on my 
mobile and on my laptop. They make me feel 
happy and they remind me of a special day 
or a funny day. It’s one of the best ways to 
remember special occasions. Some people 
like making videos of the special occasion or 
buying gifts. I think these are good but in my 
opinion photos are the best.
