1. A: Do you travel a lot?
B: Yeah, I do.
A: Which do you prefer—traveling by train or by plane?
B: Well. the thing I like about a train is it's so comfortable. You can get up and walk around. A plane is faster, but you have to stay seated in those uncomfortable seats.
2. A: Do you prefer living in a house or an apartment?
B: Well, I used to live in a house. I had a nice yard and we had lots of space. But it was too much work, taking care of the yard and all that. An apartment is so much more convenient.
3. A: Would you rather study American English or British English?
B: Well, they're very similar, but overall I think American English is more useful for me because I watch a lot of American movies and television shows. British English does sound very nice. though.
4. A: Would you rather work in an office or a department store?
B: Well, I think working in a store would be more interesting. You would get to talk to more people. I think office work would get really boring after a while. I don't like to sit at a desk all day.
5. A: Which would you rather learn— German or Spanish?
B: Well, German is an interesting language and it's useful in Germany and a few other countries in Europe. But Spanish is used in Spain, Central America, South America, and a lot of places in the US. So studying Spanish makes a lot more sense for me!
6. A: What kinds of music do you like?
B: Well, I like all kinds of music, but I don't care for pop very much. It's a little too loud for me. I guess classical music is my favorite. I really like the piano and strong melodies.
