Speaking Test Part 1

1. Did you enjoy your childhood?

Yes, when I look back on my childhood I remember a mostly carefree and happy time.

2. What is the first thing you remember about your childhood?

The first thing that comes to mind is a birthday party when I was very young. I remember seeing all the party balloons and being filled with wonder.

3. What did you like doing when you were a child?

One of my favourite activities was playing in the local woods. My friends and I would play games like hide and seek, or build camps using sticks and branches. We didn’t have any adults supervising us, so it was a lot of fun.

4. Did you grow up in a city, town or village?

I was raised in a small town in the suburbs. It was a peaceful and quiet place to grow up, with lots of green spaces and fresh air.

5. What was your favourite toy?

My favourite toy when I was a child was a stuffed elephant that my grandparents gave me for my birthday. I used to carry it around and even took it to bed with me every night.

6. Did you like going to school?

Yes, most of the time I enjoyed school. The discipline at my school was quite tough, but I liked most of the school teachers and had several friends in my classes.

7. Did you have a best friend when you were a child?

Yes, my best friend was called John. We met in primary school and we were inseparable. But, we went to different middle schools and grew apart, and eventually I lost touch with him.

8. How much time did you spend with your grandparents?

I spent a lot of time with my grandparents when I was a child. They lived in the same town as us, so they would often babysit me and my sister when we were little or watch over us when my parents went out.
