 HOMEWORK

1) ECCE SPEAKING, STAGE 4, ELABORATION QUESTIONS

-Technology has made our life simpler and has contributed to our quality of life.To what extent do you agree with this view?

Model answer: I agree with this up to a point.For example, I can pay my bills on the internet without having to go to the bank and this saves me time but when it comes to human relationships I think that technology has alienated people.For instance, in the past people used to call each other on their name days/birthdays but now we just send a message on Facebook and we never meet or call each other to catch up.

-what is the best wedding reception you've ever been to? If you were to arrange the perfect wedding, what would it be like?

Model answer: well, I've never been to a wedding reception but if I had the chance to organise one, I'd probably invite all my friends and relatives to a beautiful Greek island where the bride and the groom get married in a small church with a view of the sea.

-in what ways could the quality of life in cities be improved?

Model answer: Ahm, let me think about it...this is a tough question.Sorry, I am stuck.Ok, well, people could find a job which is near their houses instead of taking the bus every day.Also, the mayor can built more parks and open spaces where people can go on a picnic or go cycling/walking.Another suggestion would be to ban cars from the city centre so that the quality of air improves.
