Question: What do people do while waiting?
Idea 1
Using Technology
Model Answer
When waiting, there are many things you can do. For instance, if I'm waiting for a bus, I can check my emails, watch TV shows or movies, or call someone. Thanks to mobile phones, what used to be boring is now okay. If the bus doesn't show up, it's not a big issue for me; I can just watch TV on my phone or listen to music or a podcast.
Idea 2
Engaging in Social Interaction
Model Answer
While waiting, many people engage in chatting with those around them. It's a good way to kill time and you might even make a new friend. Also, if waiting with family or friends, it becomes a chance to catch up and spend quality time together, sharing laughs and stories.
Idea 3
Personal Relaxation
Model Answer
While waiting, a lot of people turn to personal relaxation activities. Reading is a popular choice; diving into a book or magazine can make time fly. Some even use the time for meditation or mindfulness, which helps them stay calm and focused. It's a great way to use waiting time productively.
