Part 1 
Exercise 1
Model answers:
1 I’m from China. My hometown is Beijing. I’ve 
lived there since I was a baby.
2 The most popular place to go shopping in 
my hometown is the shopping mall near the 
stadium. It’s really big and has lots of different 
shops and cafes.
3 I rarely shop online. I like going to shops and 
looking at things. I sometimes buy music online.
4 I bought a present for my best friend last 
week. I bought her a silver necklace for her 
birthday. She was very surprised.
5 I like visiting galleries and museums. I really 
enjoy meeting friends for coffee and chatting. 
It’s very relaxing.
Part 2 
Exercise 2
Model answers:
I’d like to describe something which is very 
important to me. The possession is my mobile 
phone.
It’s very small, modern and red and silver. I think 
it’s made of metal and plastic. It looks great. It’s 
very fashionable and expensive too. I carry it in 
my bag every day
I’ve had it for six months. I got it when I was on 
holiday in England. It reminds me of my holiday 
and the rainy weather. I’ve used it every day 
since I bought it. I use it to download apps and 
listen to music. I text or call my family with it.
I can use the internet and I can organize my 
diary. I can do everything with it. It’s really good.
Finally, it’s important to me because it’s my 
connection with my family. Now I’m living and 
studying in another country, I rarely see my 
family. I can make video calls with my phone and 
see my parents. It makes me feel happy.
tomorrow and buy a new mobile phone. I enjoy 
shopping so it would be fun.
2 Yes, absolutely. I think my mobile phone is one 
of the best phones. My best friend likes my 
mobile, because its’ smaller than his mobile 
phone.
