Describe something that surprised you. You should say -what it was -how you found out about it -what you did -and explain how it made you feel Well, unfortunately, I am about to describe an event that surprised me in a negative way and it is a little embarrassing but here goes. What surprised me recently was the result of my last IELTS exam when I got 6.5 in listening! I had been preparing for IELTS for several months with a tutor and had completed at least 10 listening tests, so I felt very well

Do you like surprises? If they are pleasant surprises, yes, of course I enjoy a good surprise. Do you think doing things spontaneously is a good idea? It depends on what the things are. A trip taken spontaneously can be wonderfully adventurous and rejuvenating. However, a house or car purchased on a whim can spell financial disaster. So spontaneity can be a great way to bring some excitement to a person’s life but it has to be done in moderation. How do unexpected situations make people feel?

Do you work or study? I study psychology at the university here. Do you enjoy studying this? Yes, it has been my dream since childhood to study psychology. The different theories that attempt to explain human behaviour never cease to amaze me. How will your studies help you in the future? I hope to attend a graduate programme to get a specialisation in family and child psychology, so my undergraduate degree is a necessary first step. Let’s talk about photos. Do you enjoy taking photos?

Talk about a free item or service you received. Please say -what item or service it was -why it was free -what you did to receive it -and explain how you felt about receiving this item or service Some time ago, I was driving my car and had to stop for gas. I remember being very anxious as it was in the middle of my exam period, so I was studying and on top of that I had just paid for some expensive repairs on my car, so I was strapped for cash. Although the tank was nearly empty, I asked the

(Note: In Part 2 of this exam, the candidate speaks about a free carwash they received.) Would you recommend this item or service to others? They did a fine job on the car, so yes, I would recommend it. Those of us who live in the city don’t typically have the space to wash our cars ourselves, so we must get this done professionally. Do people value free things less than items that are purchased? Typically yes. Usually free items are something of a gimmick, a way to pull you in to earn your

Do you work or study? I work in software development at a large organisation in this city. How would you describe the layout of your workplace? My workplace is made up of several large office rooms with three or four workers in each room. Everyone has a desk and each office usually has a small table with an electric kettle for coffee and tea. We’re a small organisation, so the CEO works alone from the room that doubles as our company’s main meeting room. It has a large table and a whiteboard.

It is nothing short of incredible, and I’d have a hard time believing it had actually happened if it weren’t my brother who told me.

Do people become friends because they have a similar personality? While this can be true, I don’t believe this is always the case. I think there need to be some similarities like common interests or a similar sense of humour, but looking at my friends I would say that our personalities are actually quite different. There are other things that bond us: mutual understanding, shared experiences and the things I previously mentioned. However, on the whole I would not say our personalities are the same

It is lush and green, with beautiful flowers planted. Do you keep things from your childhood? I have more mementos than I should! I have stuffed animals, certain pieces of artwork and even some sports jerseys. I simply can’t bear to part with them! Let’s talk about lifestyle.

What do you prefer to use to communicate, words or images? I would have to say they both serve a purpose depending on the situation. As someone who is rather artistic, I believe there are times when images – photos, a painting, a sculpture – can communicate feelings not possible with words. And yet when we want to communicate facts, questions or most information, words are very efficient for this job. I don’t believe I would ever use images to make day-to-day requests, for example. However, when
