🗣️ Model Answer:
A foreign country I would like to visit in the future is Australia. I have a special connection to this country because I lived there for about five years in my 20s when I was studying at Flinders University in Adelaide. I graduated from there with a nursing degree, so I have many great memories from that time.
One of the main reasons I want to visit Australia again is to show my family the places that were important to me during that time. I especially want to take my parents to see my university and introduce them to my homestay mom and dad, who took care of me like I was their own son. I’m still in touch with them, and they’ve always been curious about my life after I left Australia.
I also want to take my two-year-old son with me on this trip. I think it would be very meaningful for me to show him where I spent such an important part of my life. Australia is known for its beautiful beaches, natural environment, and wildlife, so it would be a great experience for him to see kangaroos and koalas in real life.
Finally, visiting Australia would also give me a chance to reconnect with old friends and relive some of my favorite memories. I really miss the relaxed lifestyle there and the friendly people. Overall, I think this trip would be a meaningful and emotional journey for my whole family.

Part3 Model Answers
Q1: What do you think makes countries different?
I think countries differ mainly in terms of culture, language, and traditions. For example, in some countries like South Korea, respecting elders is a core value, while in Western countries, people tend to be more casual and direct in communication. Geography also plays a big role—countries with a lot of natural resources may have a different lifestyle compared to countries that rely more on technology or trade. These differences make traveling interesting because people can experience unique ways of living.
Useful Phrases:
- "A core value in some cultures is…"
- "Geography also plays a role in shaping a country’s lifestyle."
- "These differences make the world more diverse and interesting."
Q2: Do you think reading is a good way to get to know other countries? Why?
Yes, I believe reading is a great way to learn about other countries. Books, travel guides, and even online articles can give detailed information about a country’s history, customs, and even social norms. However, I think it’s important to combine reading with real experiences, like talking to locals or traveling to the country. For example, I read a lot about Australian culture before I went there, but living there gave me a much deeper understanding of their way of life.
Useful Phrases:
- "Reading provides a foundation of knowledge."
- "It’s important to combine reading with real-life experiences."
- "Books can give a lot of information, but personal experience makes it more meaningful."
Q3: How do people get information about other countries?
These days, people can learn about other countries through the internet, social media, and TV programs. For example, people often watch travel vlogs or read blog posts about other cultures. In the past, people relied on books, documentaries, and news reports, but now, with the rise of social media, we can easily see daily life in other countries through photos and videos. I think this has made learning about other countries more accessible and engaging.
Useful Phrases:
- "With the rise of social media, people have more access to…"
- "Travel vlogs and blogs give a real glimpse of life in other countries."
- "In the past, people relied more on traditional media, but now…"
Q4: How does travelling abroad affect young people?
Travelling abroad can have a huge impact on young people. It helps them become more open-minded and independent. For example, when I first traveled to Australia, I had to adjust to a different culture and way of life, which made me more adaptable. Also, young people can learn valuable life skills, like managing their time and budget while traveling. It also broadens their worldview by exposing them to different languages, customs, and lifestyles, which can help them become more tolerant and respectful.
Useful Phrases:
- "Travelling abroad helps young people become more open-minded and independent."
- "It broadens their worldview and exposes them to…"
- "They can learn valuable life skills like…"
Q5: What are the advantages of working in an international company?
Working in an international company provides many advantages. First, it gives employees a chance to work with people from different cultural backgrounds, which improves their communication and teamwork skills. Also, international companies often offer better career opportunities, including chances to work abroad. For example, employees may get transferred to another country, which can help them develop a global perspective. Finally, it can be a great way to learn new languages and cultures, which is an asset in today’s globalized world.
Useful Phrases:
- "Working in an international company improves communication and teamwork skills."
- "It provides better career opportunities, including the chance to work abroad."
- "Employees can develop a global perspective by…"
Q6: What do you think of national identity?
I think national identity is important because it gives people a sense of belonging and pride in their country’s culture and traditions. However, in a globalized world, national identity should not be a reason to create barriers between countries. Instead, it should be seen as a way to appreciate diversity and promote cultural exchange. For example, people can be proud of their traditions while still being open to learning from other cultures. A healthy national identity is one that respects both its own culture and others.
Useful Phrases:
- "National identity gives people a sense of belonging."
- "It should not create barriers but promote cultural exchange."
- "A healthy national identity respects both its own culture and others."
