Electronic assistant: Why more and more people starting to do sport? (35)
Student: I think that people do more sports because they have realized that it’s absolutely necessary nowadays. A lot of people have jobs where they have to spend all their time in an office, sitting in a chair and in front of a computer. In some cases this physical inactivity can cause different medical problems.

Electronic assistant: What would you recommend to a teenager to help them stay fit and healthy? (36)

Student: Personally, I would recommend to a teen who wants to stay fit and healthy to regularly go to a gym. Attending a gym three times a week gives visible results. He can also jog in the morning or go bicycling with his friends. He has to also eat healthy food and avoid fast food chain restaurants. Their food is high in saturated fat and dietary cholesterol. It can increase the level of cholesterol in body and make one vulnerable to different heart diseases.

Electronic assistant: Would you stay in your hometown when you finish school? (47)
Student: I think I will stay in my hometown when I finish school. I love my city and hope to study here after I finish school. Then, after graduation from a university I hope I will continue to work here.

Electronic assistant: What foreign languages can the students learn at your school? (52)
Student: As a rule, we all learn English. It’s obligatory. But those who want to learn other languages, like German, French and Spanish, can have extra lessons. It depends on how many students want to learn a language. If the number of students is large enough, the Foreign Language Department of our school organizes the lessons as an elective course.

Electronic assistant: What clothes do you have to wear at school? (53)
Student: As for clothes, students in our school do not have strict rules. We don’t have one uniform for every student in the school like many other schools. We wear clothes that are comfortable for us. Of course, it can’t be too bright or challenging that would distract others from the learning process.

Electronic assistant: What would you change in your school if you were the principal? (54)

Student: I think I would change the schedule of our lessons. I would make more say, mathematics lessons every day. Two subjects a day, no more. The students would have to learn only two or three subjects during the quarter and then move to other subjects, like biology, physics etc. I don’t like the idea of 5 different subject a day. It’s like dividing your attention between too many activities.

Electronic assistant: Does a career as an ecologist attract you or not? Why? (59)

Student: Frankly speaking, I’ve already chosen another career. So, a career as an ecologist is not really attractive to me. I want to become a lawyer. As for being an ecologist, it’s not really interesting for me. I like to study law and help people with it. I think that it’s more important then anything else for me.

Electronic assistant: What would you recommend teenagers do to make their hometown a better place to live in? (60)

Student: Actually, I would recommend them to be more disciplined and follow the law. I mean not to litter and not to cross the roads against the red light since it’s forbidden. They can teem up with activists in their buildings and take part in some activities that are useful for their yard. All these things will make their hometown a better place to live.

Student: As a rule, my parents pay me for some work they want me to do. Sometimes my father needs some help with documents at the company he runs. Occassionally, I help our neighbors at our dacha and they pay me. I also help one company to fill in their web-site with different content information.

Electronic assistant: What do you spend your pocket money on? (64)
Student: Mainly, I spend my pocket money on different things that my parents consider useless. Like, if I want to upgrade my computer to a more powerful version, I pay for it. If I want to buy the newest telephone, I have to pay myself. My parents call it capricious, but I call it trendy.

Student: Actually, I love part time jobs and I’ve been taking them for more than 5 years. I call it "freelance job". I dedicate to this job a part of my time.

Electronic assistant: What pets do you think would be dangerous to keep in a flat? Why? (69)
Student: I think that some exotic animals could be quite dangerous. Some people keep lions or tigers in their flats. There are some cases when these pets hurt or even killed their owners. Some people like keeping fighting dogs. The same things happen with them. Occassionally they hurt their owners too. Pythons and scorpions are dangerous as well.

Electronic assistant: Why people are so attached to their pets? (70)
Student: I believe that people need someone or something to love. Pets are good living beings for this purpose. Usually, they love their owners back and are always ready to help them, especially dogs. They are a part of these families so the attachment to pets is natural.

Electronic assistant: Why do people sometimes abandon their pets? (71)
Student: I think that such people are not very good. These people abandon their pets because they don’t really understand the responsibility that lies with them. They don’t understand that the animals they have are not just toys, they are living creatures and they need to be loved and treated properly.

Electronic assistant: What pet would you recommend a person who has never had pets? Explain why? (72)

Student: I guess I would recommend a cat or a hamster. They are easy to take care of and they are funny. Perhaps, an insect or something small would do too. A grasshopper or a snail can be good pets for a beginner.

Electronic assistant: How can the Internet motivate people to learn foreign languages? (76)

Electronic assistant: Do you consider all the information on the Internet reliable or not? Why? (77)
Student: I think not all the information on the Internet is reliable. The Internet is an open platform for all kinds of information. Anyone can upload anything there. Responsible people check what they upload, whereas irresponsible people don’t. Some people upload false information on the net on purpose to bewilder innocent users.

Electronic assistant: How would you recommend teenagers avoid becoming addicted to the Internet? (78)

Electronic assistant: Do you prefer e-books or printed books? Why? (89)
Student: As for me, I prefer reading e-books to printed ones because they are more convenient to read. I’ve got an e-book reader that is really easy to use. You can have your whole library in your pocket. Unlike computers or tablets, this e-book technology is very friendly for your eyes.

Electronic assistant: What book would you recommend your friends to read? (90)

Student: I think I would recommend them The Hobbit by John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. As I was saying, Tolkien is my favorite writer. Many of his books have been turned into movies and I think that "The Hobbit" is better to read than to watch.

Electronic assistant: What exams do you prefer: oral or written? Why? (99)

Electronic assistant: What would you recommend to a student who has failed his or her exam? (102)

Student: Personally, I would recommend such a person reviewing more. The main thing is to focus on something he or she knows worse of all. The person can ask his friends to help if he doesn’t understand something. Of course, one should never give up, to lose a single fight doesn’t mean to lose the whole battle.

Electronic assistant: Do you think it is important for everyone to have good cooking skills? (119)
Student:  Yes, I think that it’s important to know how to cook well. First of all, the process of cooking itself is pleasant. Second of all, it's good for us too eat delicious and healthy food, properly cooked. I mean, not overly fried, without mayonnaise or margarine and other such unhealthy products. The reason why they're unhealthy is that they dissolve at higher temperatures than our body's natural temperature.

Electronic assistant: What do you recommend to a teenager to stay fit and healthy? (120)

Student: Personally, I would recommend he or she should go to the gym or do some physical exercises at home, regularly.

Our thoughts cause different chemical reactions in our body.
