Talk 上級
Anecdotes: a short amusing or interesting story about a real incident or person.
i) Overcoming adversity is something that most people share although it certainly varies from person to person. What was a personal challenge or struggle for you? It doesn’t have to necessarily be a personal experience either. It could be a broader social situation such as an economic depression, earthquake, etc.
ii) A time you experienced something wonderful abroad or whilst travelling / A time you had trouble abroad or experienced some culture shock.
iii) A moment when you felt proud of yourself.
2) Moral Dilemma:
The Life Boat
You are on a cruise and the ship encounters an unexpected storm. The storm continues to rage and eventually you and the other passengers are told you must head to the lifeboats and abandon ship. As people begin to line up, you realize some lines have fewer people, some have families, and some seem to have younger, single people. You know you are strong and capable.
Do you choose to help:
1) a group composed of three families with a few young children
2) a group of seniors who obviously could use your help
3) the young single, strong people, with whom you might have a better chance of survival
