Let's begin part two I'm going to give you a document with a topic you have to answer.
You often talk about the topic for one to two minutes.
You have one minute to think about what you are going to say.
You can make some notes to help you if you wish.
You have one minute to prepare.
Starting now
OK time's up.
Please stop preparing.
You now have two minutes to begin speaking and go OK.
Well I haven't had many opportunities to wait for something or somebody but I can definitely remember
this one time I had to wait for a friend of mine my friend my friend and I had to wait for him at the
doctor's office for a very long time.
What happened was my friend and I were going skiing in the mountains and he made me made an error in
his skiing and he ended up falling off the side of the mountain and it wasn't a really far drop but
he fell about about 10 or 15 feet and hit the ground very very hard.
And so the doctors had to come and take him to the emergency people had to come and take him to the
doctor's office and they had to do an emergency surgery to fix his leg.
And so it was it was it was a long time to wait.
And during that time I took advantage of doing a few different things.
The first thing I did was was play some games on my cell phone such as Tetris and b b b b July and a
few other games which was very very fun.
After that I decided that it would be nice to check my Facebook.
And I looked at what some of my friends were commenting on about the accident.
And then finally I was able to return some e-mails to some friends and family to keep them updated on
what he was doing.
Normally I don't like to wait.
Is that something that I enjoy doing very much.
However in this situation it was my friend and so I really didn't mind because he needed me there to
make sure he was well taken care of and to also give him some comfort.
So that is the time that I could really remember waiting for somebody
OK please stop.
We will now move to part 3.
I have a few follow up questions related to the topic you just discussed.
Do you have to wait often.
No I don't have to wait very often.
I would say probably I've had to wait for somebody maybe three or four times a year.
Most of the time the type of people that I'm with we don't really put ourselves in situations where
we just have to wait for each other for very long periods of time.
On occasions people have to weigh usually in your country.
Definitely in traffic I would say that for the most part traffic is very very bad in my country.
And so people spend a lot of time sitting in their cars or sitting on a bus or sitting on buses waiting
and waiting and waiting and waiting.
The only the only other times that people in my country have to do a lot of waiting is when we have
celebrations such as Carnival Where is very very crowded and there are people everywhere.
You just have to wait to walk somewhere or to get into a restaurant.
So those are the main times that people have to wait.
What would you suggest to reduce the waiting time.
Well going back to what I was talking about before in terms of the traffic in my country I think we
could really reduce the waiting time if more people carpooled.
You know they they rolled together and they rode together in one car at three or four people and one
car.
Another possibility would be if they decided to take mass transportation a lot more.
A final thing that can happen to reduce waiting time will be if the city built a nice or a much better
subway system we have one but it could be better.
Some say that sometimes we need to wait to start doing things more.
Do you agree or disagree.
I can agree with that.
I'm trying to think of a situation where waiting for something may make you value it a little bit more.
Probably in this situation I remember the situation of when I got my first car.
I had to I had to wait for a while to get my first car because I had to save up money to be able to
buy it.
And so when I when I finally was able to get the car and I paid all that money for it I definitely had.
I definitely hailed a much higher value for it.
Do you think patience is crucial crucial for everyone.
I would I would absolutely say that we need more patience in the world.
Most people live their lives very very fast and they always think that where they're going is more important
than someone else.
Patience usually causes a lot of unhappiness and also stress for people.
So I would definitely think that it is something that is very significant and important for everybody.
I think you will conclude part three.
