PART – 1 INTRO PART
What is your Full name?
My name is Mandeep Kaur.
Can I see your ID?
Sure! Here it is.
Do you work or study?
I am doing masters in professional accounting at United University.
Where is your hometown?
My hometown’s in Hanoi, which is the capital city of Vietnam. It’s located in the north of the country, not really that far from the southern Chinese border.
Is there much to do in your hometown?
Oh yes, there’s certainly lots to do there as it’s a fairly big city. If you like going out in the evening there area lot of good restaurants and bars. If you prefer cultural activities there are museums and art galleries. But if you like nature there are lots of other things outside of the city which are easy to reach.
What are the people like in your hometown?
They are mostly quite friendly, but as with most big cities everyone is often busy so it may seem as if they are not interested in speaking or having a chat. But if you live there you know that most people are quite happy to have a chat if they have time and will help you if needed.
What kind of books do you like to read?
Mostly like to read biographies. I’m not sure why but it is interesting to read about people’s real lives, especially when they have had interesting lives and have had to deal with many problems. I do read fiction as well, but I often find it difficult to get hold of a book that I really like. I also like reading about books to do with current affairs.
Do you read the same kind of books now that you read when you were a child?
Not really, no. Actually I didn’t read that much when I was a child, but if I did it was mainly fiction books, such as fairy tales. Things like The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. Fantasy things.
When do you think is the best time to read?
I think any time is ok, but when I read I like to concentrate, so I can’t read for a short time like on a bus ride like some people do. I like to put time aside to enjoy it. So if I have some free time at the weekend I might read for a few hours. And I nearly always read before I go to bed – this really helps me to sleep.

SAMPLE ANSWER:
I would like to talk about the time I had to get out of my comfort zone to join an Innovation Challenge Contest which made me think out of the box and work flat out to become the runner-up.
This annual contest is open to all undergraduates and post-graduates around the world. Each year this contest draws the attention of more than 30 000 people so it was really competitive and challenging for me.

Why do most children have a wild imagination? Most children have a wild imagination because they hear stories, which their parents or grandparents read out to them. They also read story books. This stimulates their imagination centre of the brain. They are not yet aware of the realities of life.
What kind of books can boost people’s imagination?
All sorts of books can boost people’s imagination. When we read books, we imagine the characters in our mind. So, all types of books force us to imagine the scenario or the characters. This is the main difference between reading a book and watching TV. Reading is an active activity, where as watching TV is a passive activity.
Do you like to watch movies about the future?
Yes, I do. Watching such movies is fun. Someone has used his imagination to envisage the future. It also makes us think what can happen in the future. Just as yesterday’s fiction is today’s reality, who knows, today’s fiction may become tomorrow’s reality.
What can schools do for student’s creativity?
Schools can have art classes. These bring out children’s creativity. They can also hold story telling competitions. When children tell stories, they use imagination, and this boosts creativity.
