1. Do you think it's important to have dreams?

Yes, I believe it is. Dreams provide us with a sense of purpose and drive in life. They give us something to strive for and help us set goals. If you have something to aim for, you can work harder, be more creative, and take risks to achieve what you desire. All in all, they’re very important for giving us the drive and motivation to do more in life and achieve bigger goals.


2. Why do some people dream about having a huge house?

I think there are several reasons why people chase this dream. Firstly, owning a large house is often associated with financial success -  it can symbolise achievement and status in society. Secondly, a big house offers more space and can provide a comfortable and luxurious lifestyle for the whole family and even visiting relatives and friends. Finally, some people may also value the privacy that a large house can provide.


3. What makes some people successful?

I think, firstly, having clear goals and a strong sense of purpose plays a significant role. If you have a clear vision of what you want to achieve, it really helps. Secondly, hard work, dedication, and perseverance are crucial because success often requires making an effort over a long period of time, and overcoming many obstacles along the way. A positive mindset, resilience, and the ability to learn from failures are vital to this too.


4. Does money make people happy?

I think money can really help. Not only does money provide security and help you overcome difficulties in life, but it gives you the chance to enjoy many nice luxuries too. However, once you’re wealthy, I don’t think extra money makes you happier. Other factors such as relationships, health, and personal fulfilment become much more important. That’s why you should never sacrifice your friends, family or passions in order to get rich.


5. Why do some people love to travel?

People have different motivations for loving to travel. Some people love it because it allows them to explore and experience new cultures, traditions, and perspectives. It allows them to broaden their horizons and see how people in other places live. For others, travel offers a chance to disconnect from their stressful daily lives and unwind. Some people love nothing better than to sunbathe on a tropical beach and totally unplug.


6. What are the advantages of working abroad?

Working abroad has several different advantages. On the one hand, international experience looks great on your resume. It shows you know how to handle working in different cultures and work environments. It means you probably have good communication skills, and can overcome challenges and obstacles. On the other hand, working abroad gives people an opportunity for personal growth. You can expand your horizons, experience different ways of life and build connections with people you would otherwise never meet.
