Topic1

Talk about a time when you went grocery shopping.

Grocery shopping is my favorite household chore. I recently went to a large discount store with my family. We picked up a lot of fresh produce. My wife likes to pick and choose the choicest vegetables. Then we went to the butcher’s counter for beef and pork. I also picked up some instant noodles. My wife hates instant food with a passion. However, I always keep an emergency stash, just in case. Drinks were on our grocery list. We got some carbonated drinks and juice. We also got some milk from the dairy section. Finally, we splurged on some wine and beer. The store had several buy-one-get-one-free events, so we were able to save a pile of dough.

Topic2

Talk about a time when you called for a taxi.

When you’re in a rush, it can be tough to catch a taxi. Nowadays, many people use a messaging app to call for a taxi. Because Korea is so tech-savvy, this is now a widespread practice. Users enter their location and destination into the app. They can even select the level of service they want. Then, a nearby driver is dispatched. I use the service late at night, when taxis are few and far between. Usually, the wait is less than 10 minutes. The technology is so cutting-edge that you can even see where the taxi is on map. Another perk is that the driver already knows your destination. This saves you the trouble of explaining how to get there.
