 Good morning. Good morning. My name is Michelle Ho. Can you tell me your full name, please? My name is Sino-Chuan Isaac. Can I check your identification? Of course. That's fine. Thank you. Thank you. Now in this first part, I'd like to ask you some more questions about yourself, okay? Can you describe the area where you live to me? Well, I live in Hong Kong to be specific in Chuen Wan, which is a residential district with a little commercial elements in it, and it is quite a nice community to live in. What jobs do people in your town do? Well, mostly people in my town are teachers, lawyers, and doctors. How has your town or city changed over the last 20 years? Well, to say that my town has really developed a lot, and many old buildings were toned down, and I was kind of sad about it because I lived in my district, like for my entire life, and but there are some great features about the new buildings, like the new malls and new shops and new places to hang with my friends. There are benefits and some disadvantages. Do you think it is better to live in the center of town or outside in the country? Well, I believe that living inside the town is much better than living in the countryside because it gets more convenient to travel to different places around the city, and living in countryside often doesn't have some undesirable pasts, so I don't like pasts so much, so I like to prefer staying in the city. Now, let's go on to reading. Do you enjoy reading? Well, I enjoy reading, and I read a lot of books, especially those fictions, because I find that when I'm reading, I can immense myself into a different world, and I can really dump away all those troubles in my real life. What sort of things do you like to read? Well, I like reading fictions as it provides you with a completely new world, especially those science fiction novels, which gives you a chance to like to flow through the space and to explore the universe and something like that. Tell me something about your favorite book. Well, my favorite book is actually not a science fiction novel. It is a kind of a political novel. It is the 1984 by Joshua Orwell, and it is quite shocking after I read it about how a regime can monitor the people, and what's more shocking is that many governments, even those governments who claim to be free, also uses such method to control the people, so that the horror it depicts in the novel is kind of reflected in the real society nowadays, so it really influences me the most. What are the advantages of reading instead of watching television or going to the cinema? Well, I think the major advantage of books over movie and TV shows is that it gives you the space to imagine as the TV, both TV and films would limit your imagination by showing the images the director wants you to see, but when the writer creates a world and with his or her words, you can imagine according to his or her words and also adding to your own personal experience. So I think this is the magnificent point of reading books. Now, let's talk about transport. How did you come here today? Well, I came here today by MTR. What is public transport like in your town? Well, the major public transport in my country is the railway, the underground railway, and also buses, and they are quite convenient, unlike most countries because Hong Kong is a small city, but the traffic demand is high, so they often have a tight schedule. So it won't take long for people to wait for the transportation. OK, now I'm going to give you a topic and I'd like you to talk about this for one to two minutes. You will have one minute to prepare. Do you understand? Here is a pencil and paper for writing notes. And here is your topic. Please do not write anything on the topic paper. I'd like you to talk about an exciting experience. All right. Remember, you have one to two minutes for this. So don't worry if I stop you. I will tell you when the time is up. Can you start speaking now, please? So I would say the most exciting experience in my life was last summer when I had my graduation trip in Taiwan. And what happened exactly is that I ran a bike in the city in Taiwan from the hotel and I was planning to watch the sunset in the coastline. And after I left, when I left, the park was already night, so everything was dark. And as I was riding a bike, so I have to use the road with heavy traffic. And there are a lot of motorbikes in Taiwan. So I accidentally crashed into one of the motorbikes and I got slightly injured. But then I was received by a house owner nearby and he invited me into his house and he treated me well. But when I wanted to get back to the hotel, I found out that I forgot my way and I even forgot the name of the hotel. So I don't know what to do. I was desperate by then. But the house owner was great enough to ask around to call each hotel and to find out whether my friend is in the hotel notch and by some miracle. He found where my hotel is and he personally drove me back to the hotel. Thank you. Would you like to do this again? Well, I don't think I would like to crash my bike again, especially it's not mine. I ran it and but if any of the bad things ever happen again, I would be happy to be received by such a hospitable person. And that was quite an exciting and unforgettable experience. Thank you. Can I take the paper and pencil back please? We've been talking about an exciting experience in your life. Now I'd like to discuss with you one or two more general questions relating to this topic. First, let's consider taking risks. What risks should people try to avoid? Well, I think that those risks which would end danger of life should be avoided. Like the new sports currently, the parkour, which some may play normally in parks using park benches or short walls to play parkour. But some people may be too dangerous and they play on the rooftops and they took selfies on the rooftop, which is quite a dangerous thing. Considering that not only you will fall off the building and die, you could also injure someone who is walking below on the streets. So taking it is important for you to consider your own safety as well as other safety in carrying dangerous actions. So do you think the government should set up some legislations to prevent people from taking such risks? Well, I think that is quite hard for the government to set up a legislation to forbid people from committing dangerous acts because everyone has their rights to do whatever they want as long as it is not doing harm to others but they can do things to harm themselves and they can say, this is their human right and you can't violate it. Do you think people take fewer risks as they grow older? Well, I believe that is right because as a person gets older, he or she knows more about the world and maybe they have a lot more attachment and they don't like to attach to their partners, to their families, to their children and they have too much responsibility in their hand, they can't take risks no more so they will tend to be more conservative when they get older. Now, let's move on to adventure. How important is it to have adventures in our lives? Well, having an adventure in our lives is so important because it not only gets you out of your comfort zone you get to know yourself, you get to discover yourself in a different aspect from what you have already empowered and you got to explore your potentials to a certain extent that you may actually acquire new skills and also the most important thing about having adventure is to be exciting about your life instead of working like a robot every day and be really a human. Do you think people in your country are adventurous? Well, I would say the people in my country are not quite adventurous they tend to be more conservative and careful about their moves because what they really hope for is a house, a car, a family that's all they want, they don't want any surprises and even the worst surprise is sometimes negative in Chinese so I would say they don't like adventures. What do people learn about themselves from having adventures? Well, personally, what I learned from adventures is that I find out that I have certain skills like when I got lost in Taiwan I find out that some people do not trust other people easily but when the house owner received me I had complete faith in him so I find out that I can be confident with someone I don't know I can be confident with total strangers so this is my kind of power after having adventures. Thank you. That's the end of the speaking test.
