Câu trả lời mẫu (Sample Answer)
1. When is the last time you had a day off?
To be frank, due to the nature of my occupation, I can’t properly say whether I can truly enjoy proper days of rest. However, a few weeks ago, owing to a big national holiday, I managed to have some time off for myself. I had a lot of fun and relaxation with my family and friends.
2. What do you usually do when you have days off?
During my days off, I tend to steer clear from anything regarding work or study-related. Therefore, I only do menial tasks such as doing household chores or playing video games. I don’t want to sound like a lazy person, but I prefer doing these menial tasks because I take rests seriously so as to reinforce my mental health. There should be a line drawn between work and rest, thus I just want to properly relax.
3. Do you usually spend your days off with your parents or with your friends?
If you asked me that question a decade ago, I would gladly say that I prefer spending time with my family. Problem is, as I get older, I find my interests shared with my relatives have waned drastically, whereas in recent years I have gotten the privilege to meet numerous people who I have the honor of calling friends. So nowadays, I tend to spend time with my friends if time allows it. If they are not available, I’ll spend time with my family or enjoy some alone time.
4. What would you like to do if you had a day off tomorrow?
As aforementioned, I am an individual who appreciates spending my time off doing menial tasks or playing games. As one day is very short, I’d tend to do just that. Maybe I would try to finish a video game that I haven’t gotten the time to finish yet or if I were feeling adventurous, I’d catch a movie in the theaters or take my motorbike then go for a city ride.
