VSTEP B1, B2, C1 Speaking Part 2: Solution Discussion

- Question:

Some of your friends are visiting you this weekend. You would like to do something fun with them. What will you do? There are three options for you to choose: Cook a meal together in your apartment, Go to a local restaurant together, or Take your friends out for sightseeing.

- Answer:

Given the options, I would suggest cooking a meal together in my apartment. This offers a more personal and engaging experience. It provides an opportunity to collaborate, learn from each other, and even indulge in some friendly competition.

While going to a local restaurant could provide a break from cooking and a chance to enjoy local cuisine, it lacks the interactive aspect of cooking together. On the other hand, taking friends out for sightseeing can be fun, but it can be dependent on weather conditions and could be physically exhausting for some.

In contrast, cooking together is not weather-dependent and allows for greater flexibility. We can choose what to cook based on everyone's preferences and dietary restrictions. It's not just about the meal but also the joy of the cooking process itself and the conversation and camaraderie that come with it. Therefore, for the most interactive and personal experience, I would opt to cook a meal together.
