TOPIC 1: Dreams
What was your dream when you were a child?
As a child, I dreamed of becoming a doctor. I admired the way doctors helped
people and thought it would be a meaningful and respected profession. Although
my career path changed over time, the desire to make a positive impact on others
has always remained important to me.
Do you remember your dreams when you wake up?
I rarely remember my dreams in detail, but sometimes a particularly vivid one will
linger in my mind. Usually, I recall fragments or strong emotions from the dream,
like happiness or anxiety. However, these memories often fade within a few hours.
Do you think dreams will affect life?
Yes, I think dreams can influence life in subtle ways. A powerful dream might reveal
hidden thoughts or feelings, which could impact decisions or shape how we see a
situation. Sometimes, people find inspiration in their dreams or gain a new
perspective on a problem.

I believe that some dreams may carry special meanings, especially when they
reflect worries or wishes. For example, dreaming of success could signify a strong
desire to achieve a particular goal. I think dreams can provide insight into our
subconscious mind.

dedication. For me, dreams are motivating and keep me focused on self-
improvement.

Yes, I enjoy listening to other people’s dreams because they can be so unique and
fascinating. Sometimes, hearing someone’s dream can reveal a lot about their
personality or what’s on their mind. It’s also fun to interpret dreams and think
about what they might mean.
Do you share your dreams with others?
I share my dreams if they’re interesting or if I think they might amuse others.
Talking about dreams can be a fun way to connect with people, especially if the
dream is unusual or funny. Plus, sometimes discussing dreams helps me
understand them better.
Do you want to learn more about dreams?
Yes, learning about dreams and what they might mean is fascinating to me. I think
understanding dreams could give us valuable insight into our emotions and thought
processes. Plus, there’s still so much mystery around why we dream, which makes
it an interesting subject.
TOPIC 2: Mobile phones
What was your first mobile phone?
My first mobile phone was a small, basic model with only calling and texting
features. I was so excited to have it because it was my first step towards being more
independent. It didn’t have any modern features like a camera or internet, but it
was special to me.
How often do you use your mobile phone?
I use my phone frequently throughout the day for various tasks. It’s essential for
my work, keeping in touch with family and friends, and even entertainment. I’d say
it’s hard to imagine a day without using it for something important.
Do you use your mobile phone for texting or calls?
I mainly use my phone for texting because it’s quick and convenient, especially
during a busy day. However, I do make calls when I need a more personal or direct
conversation. Texting is great for quick messages, but calls still feel more
meaningful sometimes.
Can you describe your mobile phone?
My phone is a smartphone with a large touchscreen, sleek design, and a lightweight
feel. It has a high-quality camera that I use often for photos, especially when I’m
traveling. Overall, it’s packed with features, and I rely on it for almost everything I
need daily.
Will you buy a new mobile phone in the future?
Yes, I think I’ll buy a new phone in the future, but only when it’s really necessary. I
try to use my phone as long as possible before upgrading. However, if a model
offers unique features or significant improvements, I’d consider it sooner.
How has your mobile phone changed your life?
My mobile phone has changed my life by making communication and information
access incredibly convenient. It keeps me connected to family, helps me stay
organized, and even provides entertainment during free time. Overall, it’s become
an essential tool that supports both my personal and professional life.

been an effort to improve road safety, but jaywalking is still common in some
places.

The roads in my city are generally well-maintained, especially in central areas, with
smooth pavements and clear markings. However, in suburban or rural areas, some
