Interviewer: Excuse me! Do you mind if I ask you a few questions. It’s for a survey which we’re doing for our university course. 
Respondent: Ah, go ahead! It’ll be fun because normally it’s me, who ask people questions whether they mind it or not. 
Interviewer: Pardon me?
Respondent: I’m a policeman and it’s part of my job to ask people questions. 
Interviewer: I’m sorry to have bothered you. 
Respondent: Chill out, I’m not on duty. It’s my day off and I’m going to the parking lot to see a friend. He’s a taxi driver. But that can wait. I really don’t mind answering your questions. What information do you need for your survey? What do I have for dinner?  
Interviewer: Yes! How did you know? There’s really a point about your favourite food in our survey.
Respondent: For me it’s chicken. I like chicken with rice or potatoes. My wife cooks it really well. She prefers vegetables herself and practically doesn’t eat any meat. 
Interviewer: I see, sir. And do you play any sports?
Respondent: Sure. I need to be in a good shape. Otherwise, I won’t meet my job requirements. Athletics. That’s what I do. It develops all the muscles. I used to play football when I was younger but now I don’t.
Interviewer: So, you do athletics? 
Respondent: Right. And I’m still very good at it. Better than some of my young colleagues in spite of my age. 
Interviewer: And what’s your age? 
Respondent: Fifty. Yeah, I was born fifty years ago. It’s difficult to believe that it was so long ago. 
Interviewer: And where were you born? 
Respondent: Can’t you see it, buddy? In Ireland, of course. Where else can you see people with hair as red as mine? My wife is from Poland, but when I retire we’re planning to settle down in Ireland. My wife doesn’t mind it. 
Interviewer: And what’s your hobby? 
Respondent: My hobby? You’ll never believe what I do when I have free time!
Interviewer: What is it?
Respondent: You probably expect some extreme hobby like hunting or horse-riding. Nothing of a kind. I love gardening and that’s what I’m going to do till the end of my life. No, I’m not kidding. You can see my garden if you’d like. It’s the best in our neighbourhood.
