Question 1
: On what occasions do people usually need to wait?
Answer
: Waiting is a common part of daily life. People often find themselves waiting in
situations like standing in line at the grocery store, sitting in traffic during
rush hour
, or
anticipating public transportation. Additionally, waiting occurs in healthcare settings, such as
doctor's appointments or hospital visits, and at restaurants while awaiting meals. In various
forms, waiting is
intrinsic
to our routines.
High-level vocabulary with examples:
1)
Rush hour
(noun) - The busy times of day when there's heavy traffic.
Example: "Commuters experience significant delays during rush hour, especially in
metropolitan areas."
2)
Intrinsic
(adjective) - Belonging naturally or essential to something.
Example: "The concept of waiting is intrinsic to many aspects of modern life."
Question 2
: Who behaves better when waiting, children or adults?
Answer
: In general, adults tend to exhibit more patience when waiting compared to children.
Adults have developed
coping mechanisms
and self-regulation skills, which help them
manage their
impatience
better. Children, on the other hand, may struggle to stay patient due
to their limited attention spans and lower tolerance for waiting. However, this can vary
greatly among individuals, and some children can be remarkably patient, while certain adults
may find waiting challenging.
