Q. Is it important to you to eat healthy food? [Why?/Why not?]
Answer: Yes, it is important to me to eat healthy food. I believe that a nutritious diet is essential for maintaining good physical and mental health. Healthy food provides the necessary nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that support the proper functioning of the body. It boosts the immune system, increases energy levels, and helps prevent various diseases. By prioritizing healthy food choices, I can take better care of my body and enhance my quality of life.
Q. If you catch a cold, what do you do to help you feel better? [Why?]
Answer: When I catch a cold, I take several steps to help myself feel better. First and foremost, I make sure to rest and get plenty of sleep. Adequate rest allows my body to recover and strengthen its immune response. Additionally, I drink plenty of fluids, such as water and herbal teas, to stay hydrated and help alleviate congestion. Consuming nourishing soups and warm liquids also provides comfort and soothes a sore throat. I may use over-the-counter cold remedies or natural remedies like ginger and honey to relieve symptoms. Taking these measures supports my body's healing process and helps me recover more quickly.
Q. Do you pay attention to public information about health? [Why?/ Why not?]
Answer: Yes, I pay attention to public information about health. Staying informed about health-related matters is important to make informed decisions about my well-being. Public health information often provides valuable insights into preventive measures, emerging diseases, and recommended practices for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. It helps me understand the potential risks, adopt healthy habits, and take appropriate actions to safeguard my health. I believe that being aware of public health information empowers me to make responsible choices and contribute to the well-being of myself and others.
Q. What could you do to have a healthier lifestyle?
Answer: There are several steps I could take to have a healthier lifestyle. Firstly, I could incorporate regular physical exercise into my routine, such as going for walks, jogging, or engaging in sports activities. Secondly, I could focus on maintaining a balanced and nutritious diet, including a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Proper portion control and limiting the intake of processed foods and sugary drinks can also contribute to a healthier lifestyle. Additionally, prioritizing adequate sleep, managing stress levels, and practising mindfulness techniques can promote mental well-being.

Q. Have you ever been to a foreign country? [Why?/Why not?]

Q. Which city in the world you would like to visit? [Why?]
Answer: I would like to visit Brussels, which is the Capital of Belgium. This city is quite distinctive and after I saw a documentary about this city on the Discovery Channel, I made up my mind to visit this city someday. The heart of the city has the ornate Grand Place and many cafes and fast food shops inside the 17th-century guild houses. This city is the symbol of ancient prominence, and the intricate Gothic Hôtel de Ville (town hall) with its distinctive bell tower is something worth visiting.
Q. What will you suggest to a tourist who will come to visit your country? [Why?]
Answer: I would suggest any foreign tourist for visiting the National Museum first. This would be an excellent opportunity for him/ her to learn about our history and tradition. I would also advise this person to stay in the northern rural part of the country to observe some of the historically important sites of the 17th century. The "city centre" in the western part of our capital offers an excellent chance to observe the lively gathering of people from different areas. The main attraction of this place is actually some of the most popular coffee shops in our city and one of the best places to know about the people of our country. The Beach in the city of Graham is another attractive place this person should visit. The exotic food, the tranquillity of the nature and wild beauties of the birds and animals will surely amaze him/her.
Q. Why travelling is important?
Answer: Travelling is, in fact, a unique experience and a great source of firsthand knowledge. Travelling helps us to broaden our horizon of knowledge and deepen our understanding of the world, people and different cultures. Lessons learned from travelling to different places are proven to be quite effective in practical life. Knowledge gained from books is often theoretical in nature while travelling gives us an excellent opportunity to learn about life, culture, history and geography. There is quite an interesting saying that represents the true significance of travelling “The more you will read the more will you learn. And the more you will learn the more places you would want to travel.”
Q. Have you ever been to a foreign country? [Why?/Why not?]
Answer: Yes, I have been to several foreign countries including the UK, India, Malaysia, Spain and Nepal. Each country has its own tradition and infrastructure so they gave me a whole new experience as a visitor.
Q. How do you compare the country you have visited with your own?
Answer: Well, the countries I have visited are quite different from my home country in terms of people, their way of grooming, the language they use, the buildings, the history, the food and many other aspects. While my countries have very few skyscrapers and high-rising buildings, the UK and Spain have plenty of them. The food and people’s interactions in these countries were somewhat different. Finally, I am accustomed to all the aspects and ways of life in my home country while these were quite new for me in other countries.

Q. What is your date of birth?

Q. Describe a birthday party you have attended.
Q. Do you celebrate your family members' birthdays? [Why? Why not?]

Alternative Answer: My date of birth is September 14th.
Q. When was the last time you celebrated your birthday?
Answer: I celebrated my birthday last year. My parents do not miss the opportunity to celebrate any of our birthdays! It was mostly a family celebration where a few of my relatives and friends were present.
Alternative Answer: The last time I celebrated my birthday was just a few months ago, on September 14th of this year. It was a memorable day filled with joy, laughter, and heartfelt wishes from family and friends.
Q. Describe a birthday party you have attended?
Answer: I went to the birthday party of one of my closest buddies a few months ago. Some other intimate friends were also invited to the party. A beautiful birthday cake was made marking the day. The dishes were delicious too. I gave a nice-looking T-shirt and a small perfume bottle to my friend, and he was happy with the gifts. He also received many other gifts on this day. We all enjoyed the party at the rooftop of his residence. It was a memorable event indeed for all of us.
Alternative Answer: One of the most memorable birthday parties I have attended was for my best friend last year. It was held at a trendy restaurant in the city. The venue was beautifully decorated with balloons, streamers, and a birthday banner. The atmosphere was lively, with music playing in the background and people mingling and enjoying themselves. There was a delicious buffet with a variety of mouthwatering dishes and a stunning birthday cake that was the centrepiece of the celebration. The highlight of the party was when the birthday girl made a heartfelt speech, expressing gratitude for the presence of everyone and sharing cherished memories. It was a wonderful evening filled with laughter, dancing, and creating lasting memories.
Q. Do you celebrate your family members' birthday? [Why/Why not?]
Answer: Ummm… actually, my parents love to celebrate our birthdays and I love to have those happy events. I have three brothers and sisters and all of our birthdays are celebrated - sometimes at home and sometimes at restaurants. However, my parents avoid celebrating their own birthdays by all means. It was a perplexing issue for me as a child but now I realise why many adults do not like to celebrate their own birthdays.
Alternative Answer: Yes, I do celebrate my family members' birthdays. Birthdays are special occasions that allow us to express our love, and appreciation, and celebrate the milestones in our loved ones' lives. It is an opportunity to make them feel special and show them how much they mean to us. By celebrating their birthdays, we can create cherished memories, strengthen family bonds, and shower them with affection.

Singing also provided me with a sense of joy and satisfaction, and it was a fun activity to do with friends and family.

Answer: I still enjoy singing, and I try to incorporate it into my daily life. I sing in the shower and while driving, and sometimes even when I'm doing household chores.

Additionally, singing can be a form of self-expression and a way to connect with others through shared musical experiences.

Answer: Yes, I do have a favourite song that I enjoy listening to. This song holds a special meaning for me, either because of its lyrics, the emotions it evokes, or the memories associated with it. It resonates with me on a personal level and has the power to uplift my mood or bring back nostalgic feelings. I find great enjoyment in listening to this song and connecting with its message or melody. And this song is by Brian Adams and the title of this song is "Please Forgive Me".

Answer: Singing holds great importance in my culture. It is often a fundamental part of celebrations, ceremonies, and traditional gatherings. Whether it's religious hymns, folk songs, or cultural performances, singing plays a significant role in preserving and expressing the cultural heritage of my community. Singing together is also a way for people to come together, bond, and create a sense of unity and belonging.

Topic: Humour
Q. What types of programmes do you find funny on TV? [Why?]
Q. What types of programmes are most popular in your country? [Why?]
Q. What kind of things make you laugh? [Why?]
Q. Do you like to make people laugh? [Why?/Why not?]
Q. Do you think it is important to have a sense of humour?
Q. What types of programmes do you find funny on TV? [Why?]
Answer: Personally, I do not watch TV that much these days though in the past, it was a great source of entertainment for me. On average, I watch TV for 5-10 hours a week. I find reality TV shows, comedy TV series and celebrity talk show quite funny and entertaining. TV series like ‘How I met your mother’, and ‘The big bang theory’ are very funny in my opinion.
Alternative Answer: I find comedy sitcoms and stand-up comedy shows the funnies on TV. I enjoy the clever and witty dialogues, humorous situations, and the ability of comedians to make me laugh. These programmes provide light-hearted entertainment and a break from the daily routine. They bring joy and laughter, which can uplift my mood and help me relax after a long day.
Q. What types of programmes are most popular in your country? [Why?]
Answer: Talk shows, news, and TV series are very popular among TV viewers in my country. Based on a recent survey published online, talk shows and news analysis are rapidly gaining popularity. I believe that watching the news is quite popular in the whole world. It’s easy to watch, provides updates around us, informs us about current events, and entertains us. Unlike other programmes, we can start watching a news programme anytime and we do not need to pay a great deal of attention to grab the information or the theme of it. Similarly, talk shows give us insights into an event and let us know what experts have to say about an event. Sometimes people with opposite opinions and views sit together and analyse something from their viewpoints. Those sorts of programmes are both entertaining and informative, and I guess this is the main reason people in my country watch these programmes more than other programmes.
Alternative Answer: In my country, sitcoms, reality shows, and game shows are quite popular. Sitcoms offer a blend of humour and relatable characters, allowing viewers to escape into amusing storylines. Reality shows offer a glimpse into the lives of real people, and the element of competition or drama adds entertainment value. Game shows engage the audience through interactive participation and the anticipation of winning prizes. These programs cater to a wide audience, providing a mix of entertainment, escapism, and engagement.
Q. What kind of things make you laugh? [Why?]
Answer: I guess this is a tough question to answer as I had to think really hard to come up with an answer to this question. I think a good sense of humour, a funny joke, a funny activity of a child, a comedy movie, a serious attitude of a child, an activity of a pet and hilarious childhood or adolescent memories make me laugh. I love children, especially for their innocence. Sometimes they act like adults and this is an enjoyable thing for most of the people. A good movie that has a funny storyline or funny characters makes me laugh as I seriously enjoy these types of movies. A sense of humour, an enjoyable and funny joke is also very refreshing and helps me laugh for a while.
Alternative Answer: Various things can make me laugh, such as witty jokes, humorous anecdotes, funny videos, and amusing situations. I particularly enjoy intelligent humour that cleverly plays with language, irony, or satire. I appreciate comedy that offers a fresh perspective, surprises me with unexpected twists, or highlights the absurdities of everyday life. Laughter is a natural response that brings joy and releases stress, and it connects people through shared humour.
Q. Do you like to make people laugh? [Why/ Why not?]
Answer: Definitely, I love to make people laugh. But that does not mean that I act like a joker or a clown or I try to make others laugh all the time. I sometimes tell a funny joke or story which often makes others laugh. Besides, I sometimes mimic someone and that makes my friends laugh. For instance, we had a very funny neighbour and whenever I act like him in front of my friends, they all find it very funny and they laugh quite loudly. I am not sure if I have an acute sense of humour but I believe that this is an important quality to make others enjoy someone’s company and laugh a lot with his story and way of presenting a story or event.
Alternative Answer: Yes, I do like to make people laugh. Making others laugh brings me a sense of satisfaction and fulfilment. It creates a positive and joyful atmosphere, strengthens bonds, and helps people relax and forget their worries for a moment. Humour can be a powerful tool to connect with others, break the ice, and bring smiles to people's faces. Sharing laughter is a wonderful way to spread happiness and create memorable experiences.
Q. Do you think it is important to have a sense of humour? [Why/ Why not?]
Answer: As I have just said, a sense of humour is a great quality for anyone and it attracts others to become friends with the person who has a great sense of humour. Having a sense of humour is a great skill and this quality puts someone stands out of the crowd. A good sense of humour also represents someone’s intelligence and wit.
Alternative Answer: Yes, I believe having a sense of humour is important. A sense of humour allows us to find joy in life's challenges and setbacks, to see the lighter side of things, and to maintain a positive outlook. It helps us cope with stress, build resilience, and strengthen social connections. Humour can defuse tense situations, promote empathy, and create a positive atmosphere. It brings laughter, happiness, and a sense of shared enjoyment. Having a sense of humour adds richness and lightheartedness to our lives, making it an essential quality for personal well-being and social interactions.

Q. Which part of your country do most people live in?
Q. Tell me about the main industries there.
Q. How easy is it to travel around your country?
Q. Has your country changed much since you were a child? [Why?/ Why not?]
Q. Which part of your country do most people live in?
Answer: German is an urbanized country. In other words, most German people live in urban city areas as opposed to living in rural areas. Anyway, most Germans live in the state of Berlin, followed by Hamburg and Bavaria States. However, of all the states, Bavaria is the most densely populated area.
Q. Tell me about the main industries there.
Answer: Germany is one of the most industrialized nations in the world, and one of the richest in that because of its spectacular industrialization efforts over the last century. Germany is famous for its heavy manufacturing industries, but the main among them are automotive, chemicals, metals (iron and steel), electrical equipment, ships and machine tools.
Q. How easy is it to travel around your country?
Answer: Having one of the best road transportation systems, if not the best, in the world along with one of the fastest and most reliable rail services, Germany makes it incredibly easy to travel around the country at an affordable cost. Besides, Germany also has a very efficient air travelling system in place for those who don’t want to travel by road and railway system.
Q. Has your country changed much since you were a child? [Why/ Why not?]
Answer: Germany is not the same country anymore as it was 30 years ago or so. One of the most noticeable changes is, in my opinion, Germany has a more foreign-born population now than at any time in its history. Besides, Germany has also become more industrialized and developed over the years and playing a crucial role in shaping the future of this world.
Topic: Countryside

Q. Where are the quietest places in cities?
Q. What will the countryside look like in your country in the future?
Q. Do you like going to the countryside? [Why/ Why not?]
Answer: Yes, I like to go to the countryside whenever I get an opportunity because it helps me enjoy the beautiful nature from up close, unlike in a city which is usually very crowded.
Q. Why is the countryside usually quieter than the city?
Answer: The countryside is normally quieter than the city for several reasons. The first probable reason is that people in the countryside choose to live a rather simple and laid-back lifestyle. Secondly, the countryside doesn’t exactly harbour buses, trains, trollies, bike shares, light rail, ferries, trams, and more easily accessible ways to travel like in the cities. Thirdly and finally, countrysides do not have a huge number of population, unlike city areas.
Q. Why do many people prefer to live in the countryside?
Answer: Many people prefer to live in the countryside, primarily because it offers them the comfort of living a rather simplistic life in the company of beautiful mother nature. Some people choose to live in the countryside also because living there can be much less expensive and hectic than living in a city.
Q. Where are the quietest places in cities?
Answer: Finding absolutely quiet and tranquil places in cities can be really challenging. However, hospitals and libraries (where people sit and read) could be considered as some of the quietest places in cities. Some people would also argue that public parks and gardens can also be some of the quietest places in some cities.
Q. What will the countryside look like in your country in the future?
Answer: Well, I am afraid to say that the most countryside in my country would become more and more like a city in the near future since more and more modern-day facilities and amenities, like those of a city, would become available in the countryside as well. Due to the population rise at a rapid speed, the countrysides will also become congested and noisy.
Topic: Spending time alone
Q. Do you spend a lot of time by yourself? [Why/ Why not?]
Q. What do you usually do when you are alone?
Q. Has what you do when you are by yourself changed a lot since your childhood? [Why/ Why not?]
Q. Do you think it is important to have time for yourself? [Why/ Why not?]
Q. Do you spend a lot of time by yourself? [Why/ Why not?]
Answer: Not sure if it is a good thing or bad thing, but I don’t really get much time to spend all by myself since I spend a significant part of my day at work as well as taking care of other priorities of family and life. So, I would say, I don't spend much time alone.
Alternative Answer: Yes, I do spend a considerable amount of time by myself. I value solitude and find it essential for self-reflection, personal growth, and rejuvenation. Being alone allows me to recharge my energy, focus on my thoughts and emotions, and engage in activities that bring me joy and fulfilment. It provides a break from the demands of social interactions and allows me to reconnect with myself.
Q. What do you usually do when you are alone?
Answer: When I am alone, I usually spend my time watching different kinds of TV programmes. But, if there are no good TV programmes to watch, I either surf the internet to learn about some interesting things or I read a good book or a magazine.
Alternative Answer: When I am alone, I engage in various activities depending on my mood and interests. I enjoy reading books, listening to music, practising meditation or yoga, pursuing creative hobbies such as painting or writing, or simply spending quiet time in nature. I find these activities nourishing for my mind, body, and soul, and they help me relax and unwind.
Q. Has what you do when you are by yourself changed a lot since your childhood? [Why/ Why not?]
Answer: Well, to be honest, I don’t recall much “solitary” time when I was a child since I would remain busy playing with my friends most of the time. But, yes, what I do, when I am alone these days, has certainly changed a lot from my childhood days since I am grown up now. Whenever I was alone in my childhood, I kind of felt lonely and bored and tried to go outside or read a comic book. These days, however, I read books, watch TV, do some exercise, browse the internet and so on and don't feel much bored.
Alternative Answer: Yes, what I do when I am alone has changed to some extent since my childhood. As a child, I engaged in more imaginative and playful activities, such as building forts, playing with toys, or engaging in make-believe games. However, the essence of seeking solitude and the need for personal reflection and rejuvenation has remained constant. As I grew older, my interests and hobbies evolved, leading me to engage in activities that align with my changing preferences and provide deeper fulfilment.
Q. Do you think it is important to have time for yourself? [Why/ Why not?]
Answer: Yes, I do think that it is important to have some time for myself because it sometimes allows me to do things that I enjoy. Besides, this “alone” time also allows us to reflect on our life, our activities and our plans in the greater scheme of things.
Alternative Answer: Yes, I believe it is crucial to have dedicated time for oneself. Taking time for oneself allows for self-care, self-discovery, and personal development. I think that it provides an opportunity to recharge, reflect, and reset. Spending time alone fosters self-awareness, introspection, and the ability to understand and meet our own needs. It also allows for creativity, deep thinking, and the exploration of individual interests and passions. Furthermore, having time for oneself promotes a healthy work-life balance, reduces stress, and enhances overall well-being.
Topic: Walking

Q. Did you walk more when you were younger? [Why?/ Why not?]
Q. Why do some people prefer walking to driving a car?
Q. Do people in your country walk a lot? [Why?/ Why not?]
Q. Do you go places on foot a lot? [Why?/ Why not?]
Answer: Well, the distance, I cover every day on foot is around 20 minutes in order to travel to a bus stop, and I think it doesn’t really qualify to be considered as “a lot”, as far as I am concerned.
Q. Did you walk more when you were younger? [Why?/ Why not?]
Answer: Yes, I would say that I certainly walked more when I was younger, since I was more energetic back then and I didn’t have to always worry too much about “arriving on time”. Besides, I did not own a car in my young age and I naturally walked while travelling a short distance.
Q. Why do some people prefer walking to driving a car?
Answer: Well, there could be a couple of reasons for which some people prefer walking to driving a car. The first reason is that they think that walking is better for their health. Secondly, they don’t like to get stuck in bad traffic for a long period of time and they have trouble finding a parking space.
Q. Do people in your country walk a lot? [Why?/ Why not?]
Answer: Well, these days, I don’t really think that people in my country walk “a lot” (depending on how we choose to define “a lot” here) because different kinds of transportation are very easily available to them in order to take them to all kinds of places and a large proportion of people own private cars.

Q. Do many people in your country have pets? [Why? /Why not?]
Answer: No, as far as I know, most families in my country don't have pets at their homes. I think around one out of ten families, in my country, have pets, primarily because our culture and tradition don’t exactly encourage us to have pets in our houses.

Q. Do you prefer to go alone or with friends? [Why?]
Q. Do you often go to the cinema /movie theatre? [Why? /Why not?]
Answer: No, I don’t often go to the cinema since I can watch most of the movies, I want, right at my home on satellite television and Netflix. However, watching movies with friends at a theatre is something I enjoy a lot and we do it, let's say, once in a month.
Q. What kinds of movies do you like to watch? [Why?]

Q. Did you like to go to the cinema/movie theatre when you were a child? [Why? /Why not?]
Answer: Yes, I did like to go to the cinema a lot when I was a child. However, I liked it even more when I went to the theatre with my parents during the weekend since they would buy me all kinds of snacks there and we would usually have our dinner outside.
Q. Do you prefer to go alone or with friends? [Why?]
Answer: Well, I prefer to go out with my friends since it would allow me to share the fun of watching a movie with each other and do other activities together. To me watching a movie at a theatre is more than merely just enjoying the movie as other activities such as hanging out with friends, talking with them and doing other fun stuff are sometimes more attractive.
Topic: Handwriting
Q. Do you have good handwriting?
Q. How did you learn your handwriting?
Q. Do you like receiving hand-written letters? [Why? /Why not?]
Q. How important is handwriting in this era of computers?
Q. Do you have good handwriting?
Answer: I think that I do have good handwriting since I always used to get extra points for my good handwriting when I was attending my elementary and high schools. Besides, my teachers and classmates often praised the way I write. So I like to believe that my handwriting is nice.
Q. How did you learn your handwriting?
Answer: If I remember correctly, I was made to use lined papers and notebooks to practice handwriting again and again in order to learn good handwriting. I was also taught about how to hold a pen and maintain a relaxed grip when practising writing both by my parents and teachers.
Q. Do you like receiving hand-written letters? [Why? /Why not?]
Answer: Yes, I like receiving hand-written letters since it feels more alive with a more personal touch and effort than the electronic mails or emails that we mostly use for written communication these days.
Q. How important is handwriting in this era of computers?
Answer: Unfortunately, in this era of computers, the internet and email, the appeal of handwriting is almost lost since people choose typing on a computer as a mode of communication at offices, schools, colleges and universities. So, I guess that it is fair to say that handwriting is not really that important in this era of computers as it was in the pre-computer eras.
