  Part 1-style questions
  Examiner: Do you see your friends very often?
  Louisa: Yes … we meet up most weekends … we all get on really well and have a lot in common so we’re always happy doing the same things and going to the same places.
  Examiner: What do you like about your close friends?
  Anna: I think we enjoy each other’s company … we see eye-to-eye on most things so we rarely fall out with each other.
  Examiner: Have you known each other long?

  where you met them
  and say what it is about them you like so much.
  Reiko: I’d like to talk about my boyfriend … Jose … we got to know each other at University almost 4 years ago … we were in the same department … initially we were just good friends and used to go out in a group with our other friends … when Jose went back to Spain for the holidays we would keep in touch with each other … then one year he invited me to come to Spain with him … and that’s when we fell for each other I think … so you couldn’t really say it was love at first sight as it had been over a year since we’d met … but we really hit it off and by the time we got back to university in September we were able to tell all our friends that we were in a relationship … what do I like about Jose … well he’s very kind … very funny … and very supportive … and we’re really well matched in our interests … he hasn’t popped the question yet though … we’ve talked about getting married and I think we’re both ready to settle down and have children … we’ll just have to wait and see …
  Part 3-style questions
  Examiner: Do you think marriage is still as important as ever?

  Examiner: What do you think is the ideal time to get married?
  Terry: Personally … I think you should wait until you’ve found yourself first … decided if you want a career … perhaps do some travelling … you should do this before tying the knot … although if you fall head over heels in love plans like these can easily be forgotten.
  Examiner: Is it important to keep in contact with our friends when we’re in a relationship?
