Unit 2 Speaking Exam Flashcards
Fa sport?
I don’t play a sport anymore because I want to focus more on school and my music
When I was younger I used to swim competitively and I was not terrible
I decided to stop swimming when I decided to play saxophone because I was too busy otherwise
I don’t particularly like watching sport either but I like to watch the Olympics when it is on
My brother is very sporty so he likes to watch the soccer or football. However, I am not very interested.
Suona uno strumento?
I play a few instruments, actually.
At school I learn piano and saxophone but when I finish school I would really like to pursue singing as a career
I really like to play jazz on my piano or saxophone but for my singing I enjoy it much more to sing grunge and punk rock.
I used to sing in a band and hope to start a new one soon when I am not so busy with school.
Quando ascolta la musica?
I listen to different kinds of music depending on what I’m doing.
When I do homework, I like to listen to classical because it helps me learn.
Other times I like to listen to other styles like jazz, blues, rock or alternative.
I have never been to a concert but sometimes my friends and I go to see some local ‘hardcore’ gigs, which is a genre like punk and metal put together.
I don’t think I have a favourite band, but I like the music of Fugazi and Violent Soho, which both play a more modern style of punk
Che genere di film Le place guardare?
I like a lot of different styles of film, it really depends on the acting and directing.
I like the films directed by Quentin Tarantino, Stanley Kubrick or Tim Burton because they all have unique styles.
Sometimes I like to go to the cinema with friends, too. Two weeks ago we went to see The Martian at the cinema in Frankston. It was a nice night out but we were up very late and by the time we got to the movie we were all really tired. The movie was really good but very long.
I thought that Matt Damon was very good in the movie, but I do not think I have a favourite actor. It depends on the film.
Ha un libro prefirito?
I love to read, and I try to read whenever I have spare time.
My favourite book is 1984 or Animal Farm because I find the political message from the books very interesting.
I also love the Game of Thrones series. I refuse to watch the TV series until I have read all of the books and because they are so long, that might be a while. I am currently up to the fourth instalment. I love the fantasy world George R. R. Martin creates in Game of Thrones because it is so intricate.
Dove va per lo shopping?
I don’t go shopping often because I am usually busy with other things, but when I do I might go into Frankston centre with friends or to Mornington Main Street.
When I am with my parents I like to go to antique stores and op shops too because not all my friends are interested in secondhand clothes.
I occasionally shop with my mum when I need more money because she will help me buy things rather than purchasing it on my own.
Ha una programma preferita?
At the moment I am watching a couple TV shows and also need to catch up on a few.
One of my favourites at the moment is Scream Queens directed by Ryan Murphy, who also directs my other favourite TV series American Horror Story.
I usually don’t have time to watch television but on the weekend I decided to catch up on the latest episodes to make sure nobody spoiled it for me.
Ha un gioco preferito?
I don’t play many video games but I used to play more when I was younger.
As a child my favourite game was Pokemon and I have most of the early games. I have since played through them multiple times.
I sometimes like to play other games like The Legend of Zelda; this is another favourite of mine. When I find the time I like to play Ocarina of Time which I downloaded onto my laptop.
Other times I just like to play The Sims 3. When I am with friends we like to make ourselves into sims and it is always very funny.
Descrivi l’ultima vacanza?
The last holiday I had was a while ago where my family and I went to Sydney maybe two years ago. We stayed for only a couple days but I thought it was really cool to see a different part of Australia I had never seen before.
I also liked visiting Queensland with my family which I did when I was much younger. We went to Movieworld and I was scared of the rides so I didn’t go on many. I think I would go on those now I am older.
A holiday I would love to go on would be to go to Sydney again next year. At the gallery of New South Wales there will be an exhibition of the works of Frida Kahlo and Diego Riviera that I would love to see. I might be able to go with my mum so I am very excited for that.
Ha molto tempo libero?
I don’t have a lot of free time because of school and studies
When I do have free time I like to spend it with friends or reading and playing music
I look forward to the holidays because I will much more free time to go to the beach and see family
