Don’t

Memorize your answers. It’s good to have ideas ready, but

it’s better not to memorize long replies to typical questions.

Just reply with ‘yes’ or ‘no’.

Panic if you are asked an unexpected question. Take a few

seconds to think before you answer it.
Here are some examples of things you can say about yourself:
My name’s ...
I’m from ... / I live in ...
I was born in ...
I’m ... years old.
I go to ... school.
I like ... because ...
I don’t like ... because ...
In my free time / After school, I ...
My best friends are ... because ...
My favourite (school subject, actor, pop group, sport) is ...
because ...
I have ... brothers and sisters.
In the future, I’d like to ... because ...
