【正确答案】Q1: I'd like to talk with you about what you do, Are you a student or do you have a job? A1: Well, I'm a student. I have been studying full-time, preparing for the IELTS but I've also been preparing in my own time for the university courses I plan to take. A2: Yes. I've been preparing online for IELTS with Scott's English Success and it's been excellent. I've learned a number of academic study techniques which I will definitely be able to use in the future when I begin to study full-time at the university... um... I've always felt that emersion learning is the best way to learn a language so I came here to England. If I don't achieve a 7.0, I won't be able to study dentistry... which is exactly what I want to do. Q3: What is it you like most about the profession you're studying? A3: Hmmm... well, my father is a dentist and he and my mother always wanted me to become one. I guess one of the things I like most about it is that you can help people to have good, strong teeth... we need our teeth and we'll need them all our lives. Do you enjoy going to the dentist? I know most people hate going to the dentist so my goal—when I become a dentist—is to make it an enjoyable, happy experience for people. Q4: Is there anything you think you won't like about your studies? A4: As I said, I've been doing some study into the course in my own time, my own personal study... so I'll be really ready if I'm accepted into the course... it really depends upon how well I do in this IELTS test! Anyway, I am aware... well my father told me about this... that part of my studies will involve dealing with cadavers—for study of the human anatomy—I don't think I'm going to like that part of my studies! Q5: OK, good. Is it OK if we talk about your childhood? A5: Yes, that would be fine. Q6: Well, can you tell me a bit about where you grew up? A6: Yes. I was actually born in Alaska in the United States and I grew up in a little town called Palmer... before my family moved to Poland. We lived in Palmer for um... let me think... 9 years. Q7: Was it a good place to live? A7: Well, the thing I remember most about living in Palmer was the cold weather that prevailed most of the time. Although it's over 20 years ago that I lived there, I think that living in Palmer is a lot like living in England... and Poland for that matter! We did have some warm days... in fact on a few occasions in Summer I remember it was very hot, but for most of the year it was typically cold and wet. Q8: What are some of the fond memories of living in your home town? A8: Well, actually... I do have some happy memories of the place—playing sports such as baseball and tennis in the summer and football in the winter. But, as I said it was just so cold... the predominant memory I have is that it was cold and wet! However, I had some good friends in Palmer. In fact, one of them I still keep in contact with to this day... he's married now and his wife just had a baby. Anyway, overall, I guess it was a nice place to live the first 9 or so years of my life.
