Did you go to secondary/high school near to where you lived?[Why/Why not?]
Yes, I did. The reason is simple—I didn't want to take the school bus, which was always in a mess.And the bus driver, Mr.Zhang, was a bad-tempered person.I didn't like him.Also, I went to secondary school near my home because I thought walking was a good exercise to me.You know, my secondary school was an easy 20-minute walk from my home.And I walked this route 4 times a day, rain or shine.It really helped me to improve my health.
in a mess 凌乱；乱七八糟
rain or shine 风雨无阻；不论晴雨
bad-tempered 脾气不好的；易怒的
【答题技巧】
这道题的回答中每个信息点都非常具体，例如“Mr.Zhang”，“20-minute walk”，“4 times”。这种具体的细节是中国大部分考生缺乏的，很多人怕说得太具体，考官可能会觉得自己很啰唆。
但是，这些具体的信息恰恰是考官非常期待的东西，对于拿到高分也有很大的帮助。
