Interviewer: Thank you for taking part in our survey! I really appreciate it! We are doing it as a part of our course, so it’s really important for us!
Respondent: It’s okay! I’m glad to help. Do you need my name for the survey?
Interviewer: No, I don’t! It’s anonymous. All I need is your age.
Respondent: I’m thirty.
Interviewer: Right! Thirty! Do you work or study?
Respondent: I work, of course.
Interviewer: And what’s your job?
Respondent: I’m a firefighter. 
Interviewer: Really? A firefighter who extinguishes flames? 
Respondent: Yes, my job is to stop fire from burning. 
Interviewer: You must be very brave!
Respondent: You know we often work with doctors and police officers, they are the real heroes. 
Interviewer: Do you exercise a lot to be in shape?
Respondent: Yes, it’s part of my job!
Interviewer: And what sport do you like playing?
Respondent: Most of my colleagues enjoy football but I don’t like it very much. My favourite sport is skiing and I go skiing quite regularly, that’s why I usually have vacations in winter, not in summer.
Interviewer: I see.
Respondent: Skiing is a very popular sport in my native country. 
Interviewer: And you are from…?
Respondent: From Canada. Children start going skiing at a very early age there. There’s lots of snow in winter and they’re out having fun.
Interviewer: Right! When did you leave Canada?
Respondent: When I was sixteen. First, we moved to Austria and then to America. It was not easy to get used to new places and new people. I missed my old friends a lot. 
Interviewer: I see. And what about music? Have you got any preferences? How do you feel about modern pop-music?
Respondent: I hate pop-music and never listen to it. I listen to rock. There’s something in rock music which makes me feel very alive.
Interviewer: And a hobby?
Respondent: I don’t know. When I was small, I assembled Lego and drew a lot and now… Reading, probably. You may not believe it, but when I start reading a good book, I can’t stop and I keep it reading up to the end. Sometimes the whole night through.
Interviewer: Okay. I’ll write it as reading.
