(CD 1, Track 4)
After you have introduced yourself and the Examiner has checked
your ID, he or she will ask you questions on three topic areas. The
first topic area will be about your studies, your work or where you
live.
Examiner: Let’s talk about your home town. Where were you
born?
Candidate: I was born in a place called Rochester in the Medway
towns in Kent.
Examiner: Do you still live in Rochester?
Candidate: No, I haven’t lived in Rochester for a long time now,
since I went to college. I live in London.
Examiner: Do most people like living in Rochester?
Candidate: I guess they do. I always wanted to live in London, so…
my family still live there, but I guess it’s a nice place.
Examiner: Why?
Candidate: Well, it’s got beautiful architecture and it’s the home
of Dickens and so there’s quite a lot of historical interest there and
you’ve got countryside nearby and it’s easily accessible for London.
Examiner: Do you think you’ll stay in London?
Candidate: Oh, I don’t know. I’ve been here for quite a while now
and although I love it, I can’t imagine spending my whole life here.
The next two topics will be more general.
Examiner: I’d like to move on to talk about sport. What’s your
favourite sport?
Candidate: My favourite sport to watch is football, but to
participate in, it’s swimming.
Examiner: When did you first become interested in swimming?
Candidate: Gosh, when I was a child, my dad used to take me
swimming every week and I swam for my school.
Examiner: How often do you participate in swimming now?
