Questions

Could you read a map?

What sports could you play?

A. Tell me about what you think your skills and abilities are.

B. Well, I have a good memory. I remember lots of information,which is really useful when I'm studying for my exams.

A. That's really helpful. How about sport? Are you good at it?

B. No, not really. I really play sport that well. When I was younger, I play badminton a little bit, but I stopped because I found it boring.

A. What skills do you want to learn?

B. I’d like to be better at making friends. When I was a child, I talk to new people at all. I’m a little better now, but I’m still quite shy. Other skills I’d like to improve on are my cooking skills. In the past, I cook anything very well without burning it, but I’ve been taking cooking classes and I cook many different types of food, like curry, risotto and sweet and sour chicken. My next challenge is to learn how to make sushi — I love Japanese food!
