PART 1
1. Do you like furniture?
Band 7
Yes, I do like furniture because it makes a home comfortable and functional. I enjoy choosing pieces that match my style and make the space look nice. I especially like simple and practical furniture that is easy to maintain. Good furniture can really improve the atmosphere of a room.
Band 8
Yes, I have an interest in furniture, especially when it comes to how it combines both aesthetics and functionality. I enjoy picking out pieces that reflect my personal taste while also being practical and comfortable to use. I appreciate furniture made from quality materials because it tends to last longer and looks better over time. Sometimes, I like to explore different styles, like modern or vintage, to see how they can change the feel of a room. Overall, I believe well-chosen furniture plays a key role in creating a warm and inviting living space.
2. What kind of furniture do you have at home?
Band 7
At home, I have basic furniture like a sofa, dining table, and beds in the bedrooms. Most of the furniture is simple and practical. I also have a desk for studying and a few shelves for books. The furniture is comfortable and suits our daily needs.
Band 8
In my home, we have a mix of modern and functional furniture that fits our lifestyle. There’s a comfortable sofa set in the living room, a large dining table for family meals, and ergonomic chairs in my study area. I also have storage shelves and cabinets that help keep things organized. The furniture is mostly made of wood and designed to be both durable and stylish. I like how each piece contributes to a cozy and practical living environment. Overall, I think the furniture reflects our taste and makes the home inviting.
3. Do you like modern or traditional furniture?
Band 7
I prefer modern furniture because it looks clean and simple. It usually fits well in smaller spaces and is easy to maintain. Traditional furniture can be beautiful, but I find it a bit heavy and less practical for everyday use. So, modern styles suit my taste better.
Band 8
I tend to prefer modern furniture because of its minimalist design and functionality. Modern pieces often use lighter materials and have cleaner lines, which make a room feel more spacious and organized. While traditional furniture has a certain charm and elegance, I find it can sometimes feel bulky and less adaptable to smaller living spaces. I also appreciate how modern furniture often incorporates innovative features and technology. However, I don’t completely dismiss traditional styles, as some classic pieces can add warmth and character to a home. Overall, my preference leans towards modern furniture for its blend of style and practicality.
4. How often do you buy new furniture?
Band 7
I don’t buy new furniture very often, maybe once every few years. I usually only get new pieces when something old breaks or when I move to a new place. I prefer to invest in good-quality furniture that lasts a long time. So, shopping for furniture is not a frequent activity for me.
Band 8
I tend to buy new furniture quite rarely, probably every three to five years or even less often. Since furniture is a big investment, I focus on purchasing high-quality pieces that are durable and timeless. I usually replace items only when they’re worn out or when I redecorate my home. Sometimes, I also buy new furniture to adapt to a change in my living situation, like moving to a bigger place. Overall, I’m careful about furniture shopping because I want to make sure each piece adds value to my home. It’s definitely not something I do frequently.
