1. Do you prefer to drink coffee or tea?
Well, I have to say I like both, but it depends on the time of day and the occasion, but overall I have a preference for coffee. In the mornings, I can't start my day without a cup of coffee to shake off the grogginess. And sometimes, I'll have another one around noon to keep me energized for the afternoon. It's almost like a necessity for me to get through the day. Tea, on the other hand, is more for social situations. For example, when I'm meeting elders or family members who are into tea, I'll go for a cup of tea to fit in.

2. Is coffee a popular drink in your country?
Absolutely! Coffee has been gaining a lot of popularity, especially among the younger generation over the past decade or so. You can see it everywhere – from big coffee chains to cute little boutique coffee shops popping up in cities of all sizes. These coffee shops have become more than just places to grab a drink; they're like social hubs where young people hang out, chat, work on their laptops, or just relax with a book. So yeah, coffee is definitely a big hit here.

3. How do you like to drink coffee?
I'm not quite sure what you mean by “how do I like”, but when I'm at home, I enjoy making my own coffee. I usually go for a hot cup, made from ground coffee, with a splash of milk, giving it a smooth and creamy taste. But when I'm out at a coffee shop or something like that, I’ll probably opt for an iced mocha with a dollop of cream on top – it's sweet and refreshing. Sometimes though, I'll switch it up and get a cappuccino for a change of pace.

4. When was the last time you had some coffee?
Oh, actually, I just had some this morning. As I said before, it's a must-have for me to kick-start my day. I brewed a cup at home and it really helped me feel more alert and ready to tackle the day. I might have another cup later this afternoon, but I'll make sure not to have it too late, otherwise, I'll be wide awake all night, which is the last thing I want.
