Interview 2

Good afternoon, my name is... Can you tell me your full name please?

OK. can I see your ID card please?

In this first part I’d like to ask you some questions about yourself. So first of all let’s talk about where you live. Tell me about the area that you live in. What do you like about the area? Is there anything you don't like about the area? Do you think you will continue to live in this place for a long time?

Now let’s move on to talk about films. How often do you watch films? What types of films do you like watching? Do you prefer watching films alone or with someone else? Is it better watching films at home or in the cinema?

Let’s talk about birthdays now. Do you usually spend your birthday with your friends or with your family? What do children generally do on their birthdays in China? Are birthdays important? What is the most important birthday or age which is celebrated in China?

OK, now I'm going to give you a topic and I’d like you to talk about it for one to two minutes. Before you talk you’ll have one to two minutes to think about what you are going to say and you can make some notes if you wish, do you understand?

I’d like you to describe some help which you received in the past. (One minute preparation)

OK, so remember you have one to two minutes for this so don’t worry if I stop you. I’ll tell you when the time is up... Can you start speaking now please?
