PART – 1 INTRO PART
What is your full name?
My name is Eamika Rughie.
How may I address you?
You may address me as Eamika.
May I see your ID?
Sure, here it is.
Do you like hot weather?
I’m used to it. My city is very hot and humid, so it’s something I’m built for. I adapt by buying clothes that withstand sweat well, such as cotton or linen. On the other hand, I avoid materials like silk or wool that cause one to sweat more and/or feel sticky.
What kind of weather is typical in your hometown?
It’s a jungle climate, so it’s quite hot all year long. During wet season, it is extremely humid and sticky. For many, the climate is hard to take. For me, I’m used to it. I don’t even sweat profusely.
What do you do in hot weather?
Since I live close to the coast, I often go to the beach on hot days. I also have a pool in my apartment complex, so you can often find me there on hot days, as well. On days that are unbearable, I stay inside in the air conditioning and watch TV or go to the gym.
What is your favorite season?
I would say dry season. It’s difficult to get around during wet season during a downpour since our culture is to go around by motorbike, not to mention that the streets flood easily. All in all, it’s a hassle. So, I much prefer the dry season since it’s a dry, more bearable heat.
Would you like to visit a hot country?
Sure! It’s something I’m used to. I am interested in countries in Asia and the Middle East, such as India, Cambodia, and Saudi Arabia, and the heat wouldn’t stop me from visiting there. I would simply wear breathable clothes and stay inside during the peak heat hours.
PART – 2 CUE CARD

You should say:
– Who you visited
– What you did
– Why you visited him or her
– And explain how you felt about it
SAMPLE ANSWER
I’m going to tell you about a special trip I embarked on to see a friend of mine. In October of last year, I went to visit my best friends Michael, who moved to Colorado Springs just few months before a visited. Visiting Michael was the best excuse to visit city I always wanted to visit but also visit a dear friend. Let me tell you about this once in a lifetime experience.
Colorado Springs is a well know city for its hot springs, those are wonderful natural hot water springs, ideal for a relaxing afternoon. Besides these, there are snow-capped mountains lining the sky line, and endless forests to discover. We spent the weekend snow-shoeing and relaxing at night with a nice hot spring bath. This entire adventure started as soon as I set foot out of the airport there!
I felt over the moon being with him and remembering all the adventures we had when we were kids, plus the relaxing moments at the springs, there’s nothing else you can ask for in your life. This was really just the right way to make up for lost time with him. All in all, it was a subliminal experience.
PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
Do you think that it is becoming more difficult to make friends?
Lately it is becoming more difficult to make friends and this is caused by social media, even though technology is supposed to connect us in an easier way, makes is harder to connect face to face. With this said, I feel we are becoming less social, so it’s more challenging to strike up a conversation with a stranger. Although we can stay in better touch with our old friends due to social media, all in all, it has made making lasting friendships harder.
What do you think of making friends on the internet?
Making friends online could both, good and bad. All depends on the luck you have and what web pages or apps you use to make friends. For example, when I moved to a new city, I used Meet Up, which led me to find free yoga classes with some of the best people I could ever dream of. So, it can be a hit or miss.
Why is it hard to maintain friendships for some people?
Nowadays is harder to maintain friendships because people have a lot of acquaintances, but not really real friends. They are friends of the moment or opportunity but not friends for life. Furthermore, people change as they get older, so it’s hard for the friendship to stay the same. Lastly, since the work culture is intense in my country, people simply don’t have much time to keep in touch.
