Sample Answer

Since I am very interested in handwork activities, I would like to learn how to make a 3D card. I love watching TV programs that teach you how to do crafts.

Nowadays, there are so many TV channels that focus on Do-It-Yourself activities but the one that I find the most interesting and doable is “Art Attack” on Disney Channel. The show airs for 30 minutes once a week.

– For topic Describe an educational TV program that you have seen

This show is made especially for young children and tweens, however, I think it is also suitable for the parents and adults.

Each episode shows you how to make different arts and craft products, from a handmade craft to a picture frame, or how to decorate your room, how to make a flower vase from old newspaper, etc.

By watching these kinds of programs, children are encouraged to develop their imagination. In addition, it also helps bring parents and kids closer to each other, creating a strong bond among family members.

– For topics Describe a new skill you would like to learn/(Something that you cannot do now) /Describe an art or craft activity that you did at school.

The host of the show showed us step-by-step how to fold a paper to create a heart shape and how we could glue the heart shape onto the blank card so that when we opened it, the heart popped up.

It was very interesting to see the product after it was done. Nowadays, it is easy to buy preprinted cards, but none of them are 3D. Being handmade makes the card more unique and most importantly is that it was made by me. Imagine if someone gave you a present and said that it was made by him or her, how special you would feel!
