Sample Answers:
1. Are you a student or do you work?
Yes. I’m currently a senior at FTU, short for Foreign Trade University which is one
of the top prestigious schools in the nation. My major is International Business. I’ve
been studying there for three years and I have to say I really love it; the admission is
incredibly competitive so I do take a lot of pride of being a student here.

2. What kind of work will you look for after you graduate?
In the near future, I hope to find a stable job that suits my personality. If I was
able to do that abroad, it’d be even better. I am a person who enjoys working with all
different kinds of people, so I’m thinking about either a job in Marketing or in Event
Management. They would be very intriguing.
3. What do you like best about your university/course/major/study?
The thing I find most enjoyable about my university is the fact that most of my
teachers are quite young. Some say young teachers have no or little experience, which
may lead to unsatisfactory learning outcomes. However, I strongly believe that
young teachers with all of their passion for teaching and their knowledge of modern
technology bring a breath of fresh air into the classroom and create engaging
lessons for their students.

4. What do you dislike about your university/course/major/study?

Well, this is a tough question. As wonderful as ... is, there are several things that I’m
not fond of. For example, the thing that really frustrates me is the huge amount of
homework and assignment. They are quite overwhelming every now and then.
