Part 1 · On your feet
Model answer · ARE
A: I’m a full-time student at the moment — second year of Computer Science.
R: I picked it because I enjoy problem-solving with code rather than memorising facts for exams.
E: Last term we built a small group project for a local café — that was when I felt I’d made the right choice.
Model answer · ARE
A: I mostly attend lectures and lab sessions, then I spend evenings debugging assignments or reading documentation.
R: It’s quite hands-on, which suits me because I learn faster by building than by copying notes.
E: This week, for example, I’m refactoring a React component for our coursework prototype.
Model answer · ARE
A: I’d say it was a mix of curiosity and career prospects — tech isn’t going away.
R: I’d already taught myself a bit of Python in high school, so it felt like a natural next step.
E: I also spoke to a senior who’d graduated — she said the course was demanding but worthwhile.
Model answer · ARE
A: What I value most is the collaborative side — we often pair-programme and review each other’s code.
R: It stops me from getting stuck in a bubble and exposes me to different approaches.
E: Yesterday my teammate spotted a logic error I’d missed for hours — that kind of feedback is gold.
Model answer · ARE
A: If I could change one thing, I’d streamline some of the admin — there’s a lot of paperwork between modules.
R: It eats into the time I’d rather spend on side projects or interview prep.
E: That said, I wouldn’t swap the core syllabus; it’s solid overall.
Model answer · ARE
A: I live in a rented flat on the fifth floor of a mid-rise — nothing fancy, but it’s functional.
R: I needed something within commuting distance of campus and this block had a free slot at the right price.
E: The layout is compact, which actually makes it quicker to clean.
Model answer · ARE
A: I’ve been there for just over eighteen months — I moved in after my first year.
R: Before that I was sharing a dorm, which got a bit noisy during exam season.
E: So far I’ve renewed the lease once and I’m planning to stay until I graduate.
Model answer · ARE
A: The standout thing is the green space — there’s a park two streets away.
R: I go jogging there a few mornings a week; it helps me clear my head.
E: There’s also a decent bus route into the city centre, which saves me buying a scooter.
Model answer · ARE
A: I’d love a bit less traffic noise at rush hour — the main road gets congested.
R: Double-glazing helps, but you still hear honking when buses queue outside.
E: Apart from that, the neighbourhood feels safe; I’ve never had an issue walking home late.
Model answer · ARE
A: Not really — I’d say I’m on nodding terms with a couple of people on my floor.
R: Everyone’s busy, and the building doesn’t organise social events.
E: I did once help an elderly neighbour carry groceries — that was a rare conversation starter.
Model answer · ARE
A: I’m quite into photography — mostly street shots on weekends.
R: It’s a creative outlet that doesn’t feel like more screen time after coding all week.
E: Last Sunday I spent an hour around the old quarter — the light was gorgeous.
Model answer · ARE
A: Probably four to five hours a month — not huge, but consistent.
R: During term time I can’t justify more without falling behind on readings.
E: In the holidays I might go on a day trip specifically to shoot — that’s when it ramps up.
Model answer · ARE
A: I’ve been meaning to try bouldering — indoor climbing without ropes.
R: A friend says it’s addictive and it builds core strength, which my desk posture could use.
E: I haven’t booked a class yet, but there’s a gym twenty minutes away on the metro.
Model answer · ARE
A: It depends on my mood — I’m not strictly one or the other.
R: After a packed week I crave solo downtime to recharge, but I still enjoy grabbing coffee with classmates.
E: If I had to pick, I’d lean slightly towards small groups rather than big parties.
