Q

Would you prefer to live in the mountains or near the ocean?

mountain

A

I would prefer to live somewhere that is near the mountains. Then I could go for hikes in the mountains with my group of friends. It is very rewarding to get to the top of a peak and look out over the city below. In addition, I would be able to go downhill skiing as much as I wanted during the winter. Skiing is one of my favorite sports.

Q

Would you prefer to live in the mountains or near the ocean?

Ocean

A

I would prefer to live somewhere that is near the ocean. Then I could learn how to sail, which has been my lifelong dream. When I was little, my uncle took me out on his sail boat by my self. It is very peaceful drifting out among the waves. In addition, I would not ever have to endure harsh winters snowstorms. I want to stay in a place with mild winters, and maritime climates are generally warmer than alpine climates

Q

Some people enjoy having many friends. Others prefer to have a few close friends. Which would you prefer?

close friends

A

I prefer to have just few close friends rather than many friends. First of all, I think it is imporant to build strong relationshops with your friends, and it is difficult to do that when you have a large number of friends. In my experience, the best friendships I have formed are with those few people that I have gotten to know very well. Secondly, I think having lots of friends can be overwhelming. When I have lots of friends around, I find it hard to divide my time between so many people and still have time for my self and schoolwork.

Q

Some people enjoy having many friends. Others prefer to have a few close friends. Which would you prefer?

many friends

A

I prefer to have many friends rather than just a few close friends. First of all, I think it is fun to get to know lots of people, and there is always someone to talk to when you have many friends. In my experience, I have always felt like I had more support available when I had more friends to consult. Secondly, I think having only a few close friends can make you feel isolated. When I am around lots of friends, on the other hand, I find that I am better able to reach out to others and experience many different things.
