General Rules:
Here are some general rules about Part 1 that you may find useful. The point of Task 1 is for you to answer shortly to many questions. Think of it like an interview where you need to answer questions about yourself. You should:
Keep it short. When you practice, in general try to answer in 15 to 20 seconds per question.
Give at least 1 reason and 1 real-life example. Again very general but try to have at least 1 real example in your answer.
Talk about yourself. This part is all related to you (if the question doesn't say another person).
So, lets take a look at some questions:

What do you usually do in the evening?
Answer 1:
My Personal Answer:
What did you do in the evening when you were little? Why?
Answer 1:
My Personal Answer:
Well, we used to have a strong family tradition that used to annoy me a little. We needed to have a full family dinner every night at around 7:30 PM. This was usually around the time they played the night news broadcast, and so we would talk about the news or about each other's day. It was annoying because we had to sit for at least 30 minutes at the dining table and as a young person, I could finish my food in no more than 10 minutes. This meant that I had to stay for quite a while and do nothing, listening to my parents talking. Every night. Anyway, these days I do miss that activity a little.
Are there any differences between what you do in the evening now and what you did in the past?
Answer 1:
Well, as I am a grown-up and more independent, there are a lot of differences. For one, I can eat whatever I want, rather than what my parents want. What's more, I can eat at my pace, quickly or slowly, as I wish, and I can watch a movie or a TV series while eating. In general, I have more freedom.
My Personal Answer:
What activities are usually done in the evening?
Answer 1:
*For a student.
As a student, there are very few activities outside of the home that we can do. Many of us usually end up studying late at night and then go directly to bed. From what I know, many college students would do the same, although they would have some social life as well. Many university students will hang out at night, especially during the weekend or on Friday.
