Part 1: finding something lost by others | Part2/3: an occasion when many people were smiling
Part 1
In this part, the examiner asks you about yourself, your home, work or studies and other familiar topics.
- What will you do if you find something lost by others?
I’m gonna return the item to its rightful owner right away if the people lost his or her belongings happen to be my acquaintances. And if I’m doing workout in the gym and find the Bluetooth earphones in the strength training area, I tend to give them to the receptionist or put up a lost and found notice trying to contact the owner
- Do you report to the police when finding something lost by others? why?
Yeah, if I find something that means a lot to people like a big cash or ID card, I’ll definitely report to the police because it’s much more reliable. You know, they can solve the problem in a professional way. If I turn to other people for help, personal information would be leaked which could be used by someone who has ulterior motives.
- Have you ever lost things?
Yeah, I lost my notebook in my second year of university. I left it in the library before the exam season. How careless I was! I felt bad about it for some time because the notes were detailed and accurate.
- Will you post on social media if you lose your item?
I think I won’t because it’s personally and there is no need to make it public. Even if the thing I’ve lost is of sentimental value, no one is gonna strike a chord with me. On the other hand, if I plan to get it back, perhaps I’m gonna post the notice online, hoping to see miracles happen.

Speaking of a time that everyone was smiling, the first one that comes to mind is when I had some food with my friends. During the Labor Day holidays in May, there was a flower exhibition of tulips held at a flower farm around my neighbourhood. On a sunny day, I went there with four of my friends for a tour.
On our way back home, we came across a snack market that was packed with people It seemed there were all kinds of authentic foods and snacks. Since we were starving, we dropped by the market and decided to try some food there.
We’re all foodies, so we were eager to try every stall. But it was late, and we didn’t have much time to tour around the street. So, we decided to split up and each of us went to buy a few kinds of food that we like. Then we gathered together to share the food and snacks.
When we met up again with all kinds of signature foods on our hands, we were all excited and everyone had a big smile on their face. After all, it was such a surprise for us to discover this gourmet place, and we hadn’t had dinner in this way for a long time. Plus, everything there tasted heavenly. Honestly, who doesn’t feel happy eating delicious food? So, it was such a happy and memorable night for us and we all had a blast that night.
Part 3 In this part, the examiner asks you a few more detailed questions about the same topic.
- Do you think people who like to smile are friendlier?
Yes, it seems to me that people who like to smile tend to be friendlier. Smiling is probably the quickest way to express good intentions. It makes you come off as a warm and friendly person. So anyone who enjoys smiling is probably outgoing and welcoming. There are some people who just smile out of habit but I think that if you genuinely like smiling, you’re probably pretty friendly.
- Why do most people smile in photographs?
I suppose that most people smile in photographs because most photographs are taken at really happy events, such as birthday parties, vacations, weddings, or holidays. When people are happy or laughing, they smile naturally. Plus, smiling is so common in photographs because it makes the person look nicer on camera. Smiling brings out your inner beauty. Actually, even from a very young age parents teach their children to smile when someone is taking a photo, so this becomes a habit that children carry into adulthood.
- Do women smile more than men? Why?
No, I don’t think that women smile more than men. I think it all depends on their personality. Some people like to smile because they are very enthusiastic and just generally happy people. Others can be more shy or more private, and so they do not smile often. However, sometimes we expect people to smile, especially those who are in a customer service position at a retail location or a restaurant.
- Do people smile more when they are younger or older?
It seems to me that people smile more when they’re younger. Children are much less reserved than older people. They don’t have as much to be cautious about. They don’t tend to assume that people around them are a threat, even if they’re strangers. So, children smile at pretty much everyone they come across. Older people tend to be wary about the people they encounter, so they don’t smile as much. They aren’t automatically friendly the way kids are.
