Hello. My name’s … (the Interlocutor introduces him/herself)<br />

My colleague is just going to listen. (the Interlocutor refers to the silent Assessor)<br />

What’s your name? (to the candidate)<br />

First, I’d like to ask you some questions. (the interlocutor says<br />

Which is your favourite season of the year? Why?<br />

I see, thank you.<br />

Let’s talk about something else.<br />

It seems that shopping habits have changed over the last 10<br />

years.<br />

When and where do people typically do their shopping nowadays?<br />

What are the advantages and disadvantages of shopping in big<br />

chain stores?<br />

Do you think that young people and the older generation have<br />

similar or different shopping habits? Why?<br />

How have shopping centres or plazas changed people’s lifestyle?<br />

OK, that’s enough, thank you.<br />

Let me ask you now about collecting things.<br />

It seems that nowadays hobbies like collecting stamps, coins<br />

or other small things are less popular with young people.<br />

Do you agree? Why? / Why not?<br />

Which hobby seems to be the most popular with young people<br />

today? Why?<br />

What is the relationship between people’s lifestyles and their<br />

hobbies?<br />

How do you imagine the hobby of the future generation? Will it<br />
