Part 2 – Long Turn
Describe a book you have read that you enjoyed.
You should say:
- What the book was
- When you read it
- What it was about
- Explain why you enjoyed it.
Answer (model B1):
One book I really enjoyed was The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. I read it about two years ago when a friend recommended it to me. The book is about a young boy who travels to find treasure, but in the end, he discovers that the real treasure is his journey and what he learns about life.
I enjoyed this book because the story was simple but also very deep. It gave me motivation to follow my dreams and not give up easily. I also liked the language because it was easy to understand for me.
Part 3 – Discussion
Q1. Do you think people read more books now or in the past?
A: I think in the past people read more books, because they didn’t have the internet or smartphones. Today many people prefer watching videos or using social media, but still some people love reading.
Q2. How important is it for children to read?
A: It’s very important. Reading helps children to improve their imagination and also their language. If children read from a young age, they can learn faster and express their ideas better.
Q3. Do you prefer reading books or watching movies? Why?
A: Personally, I prefer watching movies because it’s more visual and I can enjoy it with friends. But books give more detail, so sometimes I like to read when I want to focus and think more deeply.
