Narrator:
Describe an ideal marriage partner. What qualities do you think are
most important for a husband and wife? Use specific reasons and details
to explain your choices.
After you hear the
question you will have 15 seconds to prepare and 45 seconds to record
your answer.
This is an example response to the question.
In my view three characteristics are essential for a
marriage partner.
Compatibility is very important, because spending the rest of your life
with someone is a huge commitment, and without compatibility in values
and interests, and goals, it could be a struggle rather than a
partnership. I also think that a good marriage partner should fit into
your family. Without accceptance and affection for you as a couple, you
could risk the relationship you have with family members. And
attraction is another factor. Since fidelity is part of a marriage
contract, the expression of love will be limited to your partner, so it
should be a person you are attracted to.
