    • I always make sure to carry…
    • It depends on where I’m going…
    • One thing I never leave home without is…
  • Grammar structure: Present Simple (daily habits), Present Continuous (current trends).
  • Sample answer:
    *I always make sure to carry my phone, wallet, and keys because they are essential for everyday life. If I’m going to work or school, I also carry a notebook and a pen. On some days, I bring a reusable water bottle and some snacks, especially if I know I’ll be out for a long time. *

  • Useful expressions:
    • If something is too heavy, I try to…
    • Carrying a heavy item can be tiring, so I usually…
    • When I have to carry something heavy, I prefer…
  • Grammar structure: Conditional Sentences (If something is heavy, I…), Present Simple (general habits), Present Continuous (talking about current actions).
  • Sample answer:
    If something is too heavy, I try to distribute the weight by using a backpack instead of a handbag. I also avoid carrying unnecessary things to make my bag lighter. If I have to carry a lot, I prefer using a trolley bag or asking for help, especially if I’m traveling.

3. Do you prefer carrying a backpack or a handbag? (Why/Why not?)

  • Useful expressions:
    • I find backpacks more comfortable because…

  • Grammar structure: Comparatives (a backpack is more comfortable than a handbag), Present Simple (preferences).
  • Sample answer:
    I prefer carrying a backpack because it’s more comfortable and distributes the weight evenly. If I have a lot of things to carry, a backpack helps prevent shoulder pain. However, if I’m just going out for a short time or to a formal event, I might choose a handbag because it looks more stylish and elegant.

  • Grammar structure: Present Perfect (I have lost something before), Past Simple (telling a past story).
  • Sample answer:
    Yes, I’ll never forget the time when I lost my phone while traveling. I was in a crowded market, and I think someone might have taken it from my bag. At first, I panicked because my phone had all my important contacts and personal information. Luckily, I was able to track it using a GPS app and recover it later. Since then, I’ve been extra careful with my belongings when I go out.
