English Interview Task- Ideas of questions. 1) What's your earliest memory from growing up? Tell me what it was like. Have you any photographs you can show me from this time?
2) Tell me about your time at school. Did you enjoy school?
3) How was school different to schools nowadays?
4) Who were your best friends in school? Favourite teacher and why? Did you ever get in trouble?
5) What was your dream as a child?
6) The world would be a better place if......
7) How did you meet Mum/dad? Do you remember your first words to them? Where was the first place you went together?
8) Tell me all about your wedding day? Can you show me some photographs?
9) Tell me about your proudest personal achievements of your life so far?
10) What else would you like to achieve in your lifetime?
And any other thing you might be curious to learn. You might also ask them about their jobs, understand what they actually do, what their dream job would be, what items are on their bucket list? Their hopes and dreams for the future.
I hope you really enjoy doing this task. It will be a great way to get to know your parents not just as parents but as the children they were and their hopes and dreams as adults.
So firstly
1) Spend some time drafting your interview questions. 2) Arrange a time to conduct the interview. I planned on teaching the class how interviews work during the year, what makes a good interviewer, for example use eye contact, use body language nods and smiles and follow up questions to create the environment for a great conversation.
3) Remember your job here is to listen, record and learn as much as you can about your parents/guardians.
4) I'd recommend recording the interview either by video or voice recorder so that you have it to listen back to in the future. Also record by writing down the answers.
