As a student, I am occupied with lots of assignments, likepapers, presentations, and even group project during the day. If I go back homeat night and still don't have a chance to take a good rest, I will be reallymad.

A modernbuilding is more comfortable to live in, it has lots of modern facilities, likebig glass windows, so it makes it easier for the sunlight to get in.

For example, kids are likely to get better education, medical treatment,and even social welfare. However, kids that live in the country are not thatlucky. Apart from that, a big city is multi cultural and full of dynamics, thereare people from all over the country and even from around the globe. Getting achance to experience different languages, customs and cultures will benefit thekids a lot when they grow up and it will make them a better and well-roundedperson.

Also, your friend can learn somethingthat he is not very familiar to him, it is always a good thing to learn fromothers and have something to offer at the same time.

7. When going on a vacation, some people prefer to stay in a hotel, whileothers prefer to camp outside in a tent. Which do you prefer?

Also, camping outside makes it easier for you to do some hiking, likewalking on the trail, and do some fishing and BBQ.

Personally, I would to choose to travel to new places instead of familiarplaces. I am the kind of person who likes new and exciting things andexploration.

I definitely prefer to get advice from my friends for the followingreasons. First, it’s so much easier for me to talk about my problem with mypeers instead of my parents. My parents might think they are more experienced inlife and everything, and tend to judge on lots of issues. However, my friendsare pretty laid-back, and they actually are very helpful when I have problemsand talk it over with they, cuz we have the same age, and our problems arepretty much similar with each other, so their advice is very relevant.

10. Some people prefer to buy innovative high-tech products like cellphones and computers when they first came out, others would buy them after theprice has been decreased. Which do you prefer and why?

I would say I like to buy innovative high-tech products after the pricegoes down, and I have a few reasons for support. First and foremost, productswith cutting edge and state of the art technology are usually very expensivewhen they first come out, and as a college student I do not have lost money towaste on that, cuz I have to pay college tuition, textbooks and stuff like that.Additionally, we consume technological products for its convenience and theywill be as valuable and convenient as they firstly show up in the market, so itis more advisable to buy that after a while.

11. Some people prefer to own books and movies, other prefer to borrow orrent them from libraries and stores. Which do you prefer?

I definitely choose to buy my books, and keep them as mine. I am wimp aboutgerms, and every time I think about how many people have touched or held thebooks in the library, I decide not to borrow books from the library. Plus, as aworking professional, I don't want to waste my energy remembering the deadlineof the book, having to return it on time. Since I am a big fan of owning books,I just go the bookstore and buy the books that I want.
