Since April 7, 2025, I have been practicing English speaking with ChatGPT.
I will review what I have practiced on my blog and continue practicing until I complete 100 or more questions.
Task 1 question 1 偏好獨自讀書或群體讀書
I prefer studying alone because I get easily distracted when there are other people around. For example, when I study with friends, we often start chatting, which makes it hard to concentrate. Also, I like to study in a quite place, such as my home or library, where I can focus better without interuptions. In fact, I've noticed that when I study alone, I finish my work faster and retain more information. On the other hand, studying in a group can be fun, but it's not always productive for me. That's why I believe studying alone is the best choice for me.

Task 1 question 2 偏好早起還是晚睡
I prefer to wake up in the morning because it gives me plently of time to refresh my mind and plan my daily schedule. For example, I usually sit at my desk and meditate for a while before starting my day. In addition, waking up early helps me avoid the negative effects of staying up late, such as felling mentally exhausted during the day. In fact, I developed the habit of waking up early when I was a teenager, and it has brought many benefits to my life, such as better time management skills. That's why I still prefer to wake up early, even now that I have started working.

Task 1 question 3 偏好實體書還是電子書
I like both physical book and e-book, depending on the situation. If the book is a referance book that I have to read repeatedly or use for a quick searches, a physical book is more convenient because it's easiler to flip through the pages. On the other hand, if it's a novel or a book with a lot if pictures, I prefer an e-book to save money and paper usage. However, not all books are avaliable in e-book format, and physical books can sometimes be expensive. So, I choose based on the situation when deciding which type of book to buy.

Task 1 question4 偏好居住大城市還是鄉下
I prefer living in a big city when I'm working hard and pursuing for a better life beacuse there are more resourse and convenience that match a fast-paced lifestyle. However, when I retire, I would prefer a small town because life there is slower, and the environment is quieter. In addition, living in a small town means having more space, which allow for a more confortable lifestyle. Although it may not be as convenient as city, it offers a closer connect to nature. For me, whether to live in a big city or small town depend on my situation and stage of life.

Task 1 question 5 偏好在家煮飯還是外出用餐
I prefer eating at home because grocery shopping, preparing ingredients and cooking meals help me relax. In addition, I enjoy plating and decorating dishes to make them look and taste more appealing. On the other hand, dining out at a restaurant gives me different perspectives on food. For example, restaurant lunches are more diverse, and you can try ingredients that are not easily available at stores. Although eating at home may be time-consuming,dining out can be expensive. If it's a special occation, I would choose to eat at a restaurant, but otherwise, I prefer eating at home.
===在家煮飯對我來說是一種紓壓，尤其在擺盤方面，但特殊節日還是會外食===
Task 1 question 6 偏好在家看電影還是到電影院
I prefer watching movies at home because it offers a comfortable and cozy environment. Although theaters have larger screen and better sound effect, I believe that the people you watch wuth are more important than the vusual and audio quality. For example, at home, I can snuggle with friend in the sofa, pause the movie when we run out of snacks or drinks, and take short break whenever needed. It really depends on the personal habits while watching movies. I prefer staying at home, but if my friends want to experience the stunning effects in a theater, I would gladly join them. After all, watching movie is a fun leisure activity, so why not?
===在家比較舒適，但若要追求視覺與聽覺饗宴，就到電影院吧～===
Task 1 question 7 偏好獨自完成工作還是團體合作
It's quite complicated to choose between working alone and working in a team. First, it depends on the scale of the project. If the task can be completed by one person, I prefer working alone because I can easily arrange my schedule and directly deliver the work to my manager for feedback, making revisions more efficiently. On the other hand, waorking in a team might involve too many opinions, which could cause the project to lose focus and lead to delays. Second, it depends on the coworkers. For example, if teammates are negative, complain a lot, or only share abstract ideas without taking action, it become much harder to complete the task. In summary, my preferance depends on the situation. If my coworkers are supportive, thoughtful, and helpful, team work can create strong sense of unity, which I value. However, if that's not the case, I'd rather work alone.

Task 1 question 8 偏好實體課程還是線上課程
When I was a teenager, I prefer attending class in person because I enjoy studying with calssmates. I could also learn from their interaction with teachers when they asked questions. Moreover, attending in-person classes helped me stay focused, as I was less likely to be distracted or fall asleep. However, as an adult, balancing an eight-hour workday with in-person classes is challenging. After a long day at the office, rushing to class can be exhausting, and sometimes, simply staying at home feels like a luxury. In this case, online courses are more convenient because they save time and offer flexible scheduling. For instance, if the class location is far from the workplace, online courses eliminate the need for long commutes. Additionaly, online courses come in two formats: live-streamed sessions and pre-recorded videos. If the course is recorded, I can revisit it later if I miss a sessions due to work and emergency. In conclusion, my preferance has changed over time. Since time is valuable and lifelong learning is essential, I noe prefer online courses over in-person classes.

Task 1 question 10 偏好獨自旅遊還是結伴出遊
I prefer traveling alone when I'm feeling depressed or searching for purpose in life. During solo trips, I can clam my mind and reflect on my thoughts. For example, I might stay in one place for a while, take in surroundings, and relax instead of rushing from one destination to another. This kind of slow-paced travel is only possible when I'm alone. I also enjoy wandering freely, choosing a random restaurant or food stall without worrying about a strict schedule, which helps me refresh and feel at ease. However, aside from times I need solitude, I generally prefer traveling with others. For instance, traveling with companions allows us to share experience in the moment, discuss and solve problem together, and look out for one another. It also strengthens relationships and makes the journey more enjoyable. While solo travel helps me reflect and find inner peace, traveling with others allows me to create meaningful memories in a more joyful way.
