Examiner: How would you describe yourself?
Paula: Everyone tells me I take after my mum as I’m quite laid-back … I think I’m good company but you should ask my friends if they agree …
- laid-back: see ‘easy-going’
- good company: enjoyable to socialise with
- to take after: to be like (often another member of the family)
Manuel: I seem to be attracted to introverts … not people who are painfully shy but most of my friends are a little reserved … and I think that’s what I’m like …
- introvert: someone who is shy
- painfully shy: very shy
- reserved: shy
Mira: I think my brother and I are very similar … I’d say we’re fun-loving and tend to be a bit extroverted … my brother is certainly the life and soul of the party … I’m not sure that applies to me …
- fun-loving: to enjoy having fun
- extrovert: an energetic person who likes the company of others
- to be the life and soul of the party: a fun person, someone who is the centre of activity
Describe a teacher you once had who you enjoyed being taught by. You should say
- who this person was
- when they were your teacher
- which subject they taught you
Carolina: I’d like to describe my English teacher from school … Miss Thomas … this was a few years ago now and she was my teacher at a time when I was getting a little bored with being at school … unlike some of the other teachers Miss Thomas never lost her temper … she was very calm and easy-going … she was also very broad-minded … we were able to ask her questions about lots of subjects that some other teachers would refuse to discuss which made us respect her even more … she had a great sense of humour too … she’d laugh at our jokes as well as making us laugh … and she would also bend over backwards to help us with our work … she always put us first and often stayed around at the end of class to talk with anyone who needed help … apparently she was highly respected within her field but you would never know as she was the type that hid her light under a bushel … she was very modest and self-effacing … so yes … Miss Thomas was a teacher I have fond memories of …
- to bend over backwards: to try very hard to help someone
- broad-minded: prepared to accept other views or behaviours
- easy-going: relaxed and not easily worried about anything
- to put others first: to think of others before yourself
- to hide one’s light under a bushel: to hide one’s talents and skills
- good sense of humour: the ability to understand what is funny
- self-effacing: to not try to get the attention of others (especially in terms of hiding one’s skills or abilities)
- to lose one’s temper: to suddenly become angry
Examiner: Which personal qualities do you think we most want to pass on to our children?
Martin: I certainly would want my children to be self-confident and self-assured … I really believe that people who feel good about themselves are in a good position to face what life has to offer them … and I’d hope they wouldn’t be self-centred … but remembered to think about others …
- self-assured: confident
- self-centred: thinks only of oneself
- self-confident: believes in one’s own ability or knowledge
Marianne: Well … people who are very narrow-minded are difficult to get on with … it’s nice when someone is open to other people’s opinion and willing to think about their own views … and people who are two-faced can be a little irritating … relationships are built on trust and without honesty there’s not much left …
- narrow minded: opposite of ‘broad-minded’ (see above)
- two-faced: not honest or sincere. Will say one thing to someone to their face and another when they are not present.
Sol: Probably people who are thick-skinned … who don’t let people or problems affect them too much … and if you are fair-minded you’ll be less likely to overreact to situations or be quick-tempered …
- quick-tempered: to become angry quickly
- thick-skinned: not easily affected by criticism
- fair-minded: to treat people equally
- trustworthy: can be trusted
