54. Should housewives be paid a salary by the government? Why?
Yes, I believe housewives should be paid a salary by the government. Firstly, to
be a housewife is a job just as any other, and one should be paid for what she
is
doing. Secondly, more housewives are better. For example, housewives can
spend more time with their babies, and so lay the foundation of healthy
relationships.
Preferences (spare time)
55a. What do you usually do in your spare time?
As a matter of fact, I have very little spare time these days. My studies are so
important to me that I have given up all my other activities. For example, I used
to love playing tennis, but these days I simply do not have the time. In addition, I
used to swim often, as I believe it kept me fit without the danger of being injured.
55b. What are your spare time interests?
Well, these days, I surf on the Internet in my spare time. I have just bought my
first computer, and love to look for exciting web sites that I have not known
before. It is of course very time consuming, so I dont rally have time for anything
else. I have to mention that it is an educational activity. For example, by means
of web cams (video images from cameras set up at certain places) I am able to
watch what wild animals are doing in many parts of the world. I particularly like to
watch the polar bears playing with their cubs.
56. Do you often watch TV? What is your favorite program?
Yes, I often watch TV. My favorite program is called Discovery. As to why it is my
favorite, I would like to mention the following. Firstly, it is not science fiction but a
documentary on real life events and happenings. For example, it had a program
on the latest eclipse of the sun that occurred at the end of the year. Secondly, it
often has items about nature. For example, last week it explained how some
birds have adapted to survive in a desert.
