I suppose I spend most of my time on news platforms and video-streaming sites. I'm really into cooking, so I frequently visit a culinary blog to look up quick dinner recipes, especially on weekday evenings when I don't have much time.
Probably around three or four hours, to be honest. A fair chunk of that is for my work, looking up research papers, but in the evenings, I usually unwind by scrolling through lifestyle forums or checking the latest football scores on my phone.
For me, it's all about clean design and fast loading speeds. If a site is cluttered with pop-up adverts or hard to navigate, I'll just click away immediately. A simple search bar and clear headings make a world of difference.
Definitely online. It's just far more convenient because stories are updated in real time. I used to buy a weekend paper on my way to work, but now I prefer having breaking news delivered straight to my mobile screen.
Oh, without a doubt. When I was younger, I used to visit online gaming portals and simple chat rooms all the time. Nowadays, my browsing habits are much more practical, mostly banking services, booking travel tickets, and reading professional articles.

Usually about ten to twelve, over four to five minutes: a few on your work, study or home, then three or four short questions on each of two everyday topics.
Two or three sentences, about 15 to 20 seconds: a direct answer, a reason and one detail. One-word answers cost fluency marks, and long speeches eat into the examiner's time.
Keep practising
