9. Do you prefer to be in a large class or a small class I
would rather be in a small class for the following two reasons.
First, in a small class you get more attention from the teacher.
Once I was in a class with 5 students and I was able to ask the
teacher many questions, and I didnt feel like I was monopolizing
all of the class time. Second, there is a greater chance to speak.
In another large class I had, I could only speak a couple of times
per class, but in a small class I took, I spoke a lot, which really
helped me. In the end, this was really helpful to me and my
speaking greatly improved In conclusion, a smaller class is better
for me based on the 2 above reasons . .
10. Would you like to take a trip by plane or train? I would
prefer to take a trip by train for the following two reasons. The
first reason is fear. When I was young my dad told me about a
horrible plane ride he took where he almost crashed. There was a
big rainstorm with thunder and lightning and everyone was
screaming. Ive been afraid of planes ever since. The second reason
is riding by train is more comfortable. Once I rode a train cross
country. I could get up and walk around as long as I want. On the
contrary, a plane doesnt allow this. Therefore, it is less
comfortable. In summary, fear and comfort are two reasons why I
prefer to take a train rather than a plane.
