[RESPONSE] Talk about when you had a barbeque.
 A while ago, when the weather was nice, I wanted to get some air. I got in touch with some like-minded friends. We decided to have a picnic. We wanted to grill some meat, so first we went shopping for groceries. We chose different cuts of meat, like pork belly, ribs and steak. We also bought some mushrooms and sausages. Then, we chose some veggies to wrap the meat in. Of course we picked up some drinks, too. When we got to the picnic site, we sprang into action. I lit the fire. My friends prepped the ingredients and doled out drink. Soon, the barbecue was in full swing. The meat was mouth-watering. We cooked the steaks just so. We enjoyed the meal and each other's company.

 [RESPONSE] Talk about a time when you were unhappy with the service.
 I recently went to a restaurant to wine and dine my wife for our anniversary. The food was top notch. However, the bad service was a problem. Our waiter had a bad attitude. He just left our menus on the table without any explaining. He took our orders with a dark look on his face. My steak was under-cooked. I'm not a picky eater, but the meat was almost raw. 
When I asked to return  it to the kitchen, he snapped at me. I almost threw a tantrum in the restaurant. I settled for posting a bad review online. Everything else was fine, but the bad service was a fly in the ointment. For me, service can make or break a restaurant.

1. What was the worst service you've ever received?
2. Would you accept bad service for good food? Why or why not?
3. How do you feel about tipping? Can it improve service?

[RESPONSE] Talk about a time when you looked for a house to live in.
A few months ago, my apartment lease was almost up. I decided to move, instead of renewing the contract. I visited a real estate agent. She showed me a lot of homes on the market. The price of lump sum deposit rentals is very high. It was difficult to find something in my price range. All the houses that I like were out of my league. I put in the footwork, visiting various candidates. I arrived at the conclusion that I needed a bank loan. I bit the bullet and went to the bank. I was able to receive a loan at a low interest rate. I am happy with my current home. The next big step will be to become a homeowner.

1. How do you look for a new house?
2. What conditions do you look for in a house?
3. What are some reasons people move to a new house?
