Task 1: Describe an occasion in your country where people give gifts to each other and the kind of gift that’s common.
Sample
An occasion in my country where people give gifts to each other is the Chinese New Year. What we give to each other varies from family to family. In my family, we give each other red packets that contain lucky money. They symbolize good fortune and prosperity. Another tradition in China is that parents would their kids shopping during Chinese New Year. When I was a kid, my mom and dad took me to the mall every Chinese Year to let me choose whatever cloths or toys I wanted.
Task 2: Do you agree or disagree with the statement that employees should be prohibited to listen to music at work.
Sample
I disagree with the statement music should be prohibited at work place for the following reasons. First, listening to music helps me stay calm and focused. I’m more productive when I listen to music. I work in an open office which means there’re lots of people around me. They talk with each other and move around. Music can block out the noise. Second, music helps me finish boring tasks faster. Especially when I’m not looking forward to clearing out my email after a weekend or sorting out a big spreadsheet.
