Speaking Practice: Hurry, Panic, Virtual School & Daily Habits

Speaking Practice: Personal Experiences in English

When were you last in a hurry? The last time I was in a hurry was last weekend because I had forgotten about a family gathering, and I needed to quickly get ready and leave the house. It was a bit stressful, but I managed to make it on time to spend quality moments with my relatives.

When was the last time you were in a panic? Last week, I was in a panic when I had left my passport at home just hours before my flight. I had been packing in a rush and overlooked it. As I searched for it, my stress heightened. Fortunately, I found it in a drawer. This experience made me realize the importance of double-checking essentials before travel, and it taught me a valuable lesson in staying calm.

Attending School from Home

What are the advantages and disadvantages of attending school from home? Attending school from home has good and bad things, which are the following:

• Advantages: You can wake up late, and you can see the teacher and understand everything he or she is saying, which is very comfortable.
• Disadvantages: The lack of attention. During this period, you could have turned off the camera and been doing other things. Last but not least, the time: in person, classes lasted around 5 to 6 hours, while online, at least during COVID, they lasted about half that.

Virtual Learning Experience

Have you ever attended school virtually? Did you like it? Why? / Why not? Yes, I did. I was in my last year of high school during COVID. I have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, I liked it. I had great moments in the calls, and it is also very comfortable because you can stay lying in bed. On the other hand, I think it is a bad thing because you are less concentrated, and it is not the same. In my opinion, I prefer to have face-to-face classes.

Social Media and Devices

How often do you post updates on social media? It depends on the weekend. If I have something interesting to show, then I post it.

What devices do you usually sync? Whenever I listen to music, I tend to sync my headset with my phone.

Data Backup

Do you think it's important to back up frequently? Yes, I do. Since I don't back up, I can lose my music or my files.
