Q. Did you have a favourite book when you were a child? [Why/Why not?]

Answer: Yes, I had a favourite book when I was a child. It was a fantasy novel called "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" by Mark Twain. I was captivated by the adventurous spirit of the main character and the vivid descriptions of his escapades. The book transported me to a world of imagination and sparked my love for storytelling and reading.

Q. How much reading do you do for your work/studies? [Why/Why not?]

Answer: As part of my work and studies, I engage in a significant amount of reading. Reading plays a crucial role in expanding my knowledge base, staying updated on current research, and gaining insights into various topics. Whether it's academic journals, textbooks, research papers, or online articles, reading helps me gather information, understand concepts, and develop critical thinking skills necessary for my professional and educational pursuits.

Q. What kinds of books do you read for pleasure? [Why/Why not?]

Answer: For pleasure, I enjoy reading a wide range of genres, including fiction, mystery, science fiction, and self-help books. I believe that reading for pleasure allows me to relax, escape from reality, and explore different perspectives and worlds. Fictional stories offer an opportunity for emotional connection with characters and allow me to immerse myself in their experiences. On the other hand, non-fiction books, such as self-help or personal development, provide valuable insights and knowledge that can contribute to personal growth.

Q. Do you prefer to read a newspaper or a magazine online, or to buy a copy? [Why?]

Answer: I prefer to read newspapers and magazines online rather than buying a physical copy. Online platforms provide convenience and instant access to a wide range of publications. I can easily browse through different articles, search for specific topics, and access them anytime and anywhere through digital devices. Additionally, online versions often offer interactive features, multimedia content, and the ability to engage in discussions or share articles with others. It also reduces paper waste, contributing to environmental sustainability. However, I still appreciate the experience of holding a physical copy and sometimes enjoy browsing through magazines or newspapers in print format when available.
