Cae speaking Part 1 Question Samples

How do you usually relax?
I kind of enjoy playing videogames, so if I have an hour or so to kill, I turn on my console and play something with my brother. I also play the piano, but I’m not very good at it, so it doesn’t really help me to decompress.
What kind of food do you like?
I’m a really fussy eater, I’m afraid! I’m not a vegetarian, so I’m fine with eating meat, but there are certain vegetables, namely onion and cabbage, that I simply can’t stand! That’s why I have to cook myself to make sure they don’t get in my food.
How important is it for you to be successful in life?
It really depends on how you define success. If we talk about money, then sure, I don’t mind being well-off! But if you mean fame or recognition, then I don’t care much for that. In fact, I’d rather not have that.

What kind of area do you live in?
We live in a suburban neighbourhood with semidetached houses mostly. It is a nice place to live – it’s clean, quiet and trouble-free, however commuting to the city may take longer that usual.
How do you prefer to communicate with your friends and family?
Nowadays I mostly use mobile apps to exchange messages. I resort to calling when it’s really time-sensitive or when I don’t feel like typing a long message. I prefer to be texted rather than called to as well.
Is it easier to learn English alone or with somebody else?
Well, practicing the language is much easier with a partner – it goes without saying. When it comes to studying though, I am in favour of working on your own, because then you can do this at a pace that is most comfortable for you.
Do you prefer to go out or to stay at home?
I’m a real homebody, I’m afraid! My friends keep trying to convince me to go to parties or get-togethers, but these things are simply not for me! I feel rather anxious when I have to talk to a person I don’t know, I’m just too embarrassed to approach people. Simply talking about this makes me nervous.
