Sample Answers

Do you like to read? I really enjoy reading in my free time because it allows me to escape into different worlds and learn new things. I find it super relaxing, you can just get lost in a good book and forget about your daily worries. Plus, it's a great way to improve my vocabulary and knowledge on various subjects.

What kinds of books do you like to read? I'm a big fan of science fiction and historical novels. I love how sci-fi books can take you to futuristic worlds and make you think about the possibilities of human innovation. Historical novels, on the other hand, give me a glimpse into the past and help me understand how the world we live in today came to be. I find it fascinating to learn about different cultures and time periods.

Do you read e-books? Yeah, I do read e-books, especially when I'm traveling or commuting. It's just so convenient to have multiple books on one device, and it's lighter than carrying around a bunch of physical books. Plus, I can adjust the font size and brightness to make it easier on my eyes. But, I have to say, I still prefer physical books because I love the feel and smell of paper.

Do you read books related to your profession? Absolutely, I think it's essential to stay up-to-date with the latest developments in my field. Reading books related to my profession helps me stay current with industry trends and best practices. It also gives me new ideas and insights that I can apply to my work. For example, I recently read a book on project management, and it completely changed the way I approach my tasks and prioritize my workload.
