Sample Answer 1:
I never considered myself to be a “meritorious” student like many others, so I have to study really hard and for a long time if I want to achieve good grades on my tests. But the problem is, no matter how hard I try, I really struggle to concentrate on my study even on my best days sometimes.
Luckily, however, I have figured out a way to bring back my concentration by going to a local café and spending some times there while enjoying some fresh coffee and reading some travel magazines. By the way, since the café is not really that far away from my home, I don’t use any transportation and instead, just take a walk while enjoying nature and fresh air. The good thing about visiting a café is that it allows me to listen to some really interesting conversations of the coffee lovers. Sometimes, I also take part in those conversations when they talk about such subjects with which I am familiar as well. Besides, when reading a travel magazine, I almost always come to know about some interesting places about which I try to share with other people at the coffee shop if they show any interest. By the way, I do this particular activity because it makes me feel like I am visiting a new place, full of many new and interesting people, who share the same kind of interests with me.
This activity helps me to concentrate back on my study again mainly because it allows me to refresh myself and unclog my mind from the difficult (and sometimes, boring) subjects of my study. Besides, the activity hits me with sense a “guilty feeling” as I had “wasted” a lot of time at the café, instead of spending it on my studies, which, in turn, forces me to concentrate hard. Finally, since I really enjoy this particular activity a lot, I carry that “great feeling” with me when I study which, then, makes my study rather easy for me.
