Cae speaking Part 1 Question Samples

Who is more important to you – your friends or your family?
As they say, blood is thicker than water – we don’t get to choose our family, but we befriend people that we are fond of. That said, family still remains a priority to me, although I’ve never been in a situation when I had to choose between the two.
What is your attitude to volunteer work?
Oh, it’s a great thing to do! Helping someone in need is a reward in its own. Not everything you do should be compensated monetarily, life isn’t about making money as far as I’m concerned! Knowing that somebody has benefitted from your effort is just so great!

Have you got any brothers or sisters?
I’m an only child in my family. I do have cousins though, I see most of them regularly at our family meetups. I’m a bit jealous of people who have a sibling, it must be great to have someone of your age, someone you can relate to.
What do you consider to be your greatest achievement so far?
That’s a tough question to answer… well, I graduated as the top student of my class, I guess that has to count for something. I’m still young so I don’t have much to brag about!
Are you more comfortable alone or with other people?
I’m really extroverted, so being with other is really my element! It just doesn’t feel right to me – spending time on your own, it seems so unnatural. Humans are social creatures after all, we are meant to belong to a group.
Where do you see yourself in ten years’ time?
Hopefully, I will have graduated and found a decent job. I might have a family by then, even kids, who knows. However, I’m not the one to make such long-term predictions, I prefer to plan short-term and see where it goes.

What kind of school did you go to?
It was a regular comprehensive school. I went there because it was in the area we lived in. I had math and physics as my main subjects, so I had plenty of classes in both.
