Good morning welcome to YOUR I'll speak you test.
There are three parts to the test and part one I'm going to be asking you a few questions to get to
know you.
Let us begin.
OK sounds great.
What is your full name.
My my my parents name me Hans after my great grandfather who was also named Hans my last name is Gruber.
Can I see your I.D..
Sure.
Here is my passport for you to take for you to take a look at.
Where are you from.
I am originally from Germany which is a beautiful country located in Europe.
If you want to a little bit more information then that I am specifically from from the city of Hamburg.
Do you like it there.
Yes.
It's a very beautiful city.
We have very nice agriculture and it's very very green.
The people there enjoy being outside and walking around to see the city.
Do you like the weather there.
Well I have to say that I'm not a big fan of the weather because I've had an opportunity to live in
some very warm places such as Casablanca Morocco and also in for a very short time in Hawaii.
And after living there and experiencing the weather I would have to say I'm really not a fan of the
snow and cold that we have in Germany right now.
This kind of weather suitable for children.
Well yeah it's is this good.
It's good for children mainly because children will have an opportunity opportunity to experience all
the different seasons that we have there and we have a great fall winter summer in spring.
So definitely for children this is absolutely wonderful.
OK let's talk about your home OK.
Is it a house or an apartment.
Right now I'm living in that house with a wife with family and we are I don't know what kind of house
it is but it's about three stories if you include the basement.
And it's very very beautiful.
Do you enjoy living there.
Yes absolutely.
I have resided in this home for about a year now.
And the family there makes it very very enjoyable to live in this house.
We have we have dinner together every Friday.
And there's always some different type of international meal that's made.
So I'd definitely like living there.
What is the most enjoyable part.
I would say the most the the the the part that I really like the most that I love the most would have
to be the game room in the game room in the house.
There is a ping pong table and a very big white screen television.
And so I spent a lot of time down there playing ping pong with the with the family children or watching
movies down there.
What activities do you like to do on the weekends.
That's a very interesting question because very often it depends on what city I'm living in at the time.
Currently I actually like to probably do sports on the weekend for example last weekend I went rollerblading
in the park.
And also I was able to play some golf.
Who was there with you.
Well I went I went rollerblading by myself so there was there was.
I had no company with me when I was doing that activity.
However when I went to play a round of golf I was with two of my friends and we had a really good competition.
Do you mostly spend weekends studying or for leisure.
Well I would love to do it for leisure more more than studying.
But right now at this point in my life I use most of my weekend for learning learning or reading for
the upcoming week of classes.
What is your favorite part of the weekend.
Definitely Saturday definitely Saturday because on Sunday it is the weekend.
But in the back of my mind I'm always thinking about wow.
Tomorrow I have to go to work on Monday so I'm not a big fan of Sunday on Saturday.
A much more relaxed.
OK let's talk about mathematics.
Wow.
OK.
Are you interested in math.
No.
I don't have any interest in mathematics at all whatsoever.
The reason why is to me is very boring.
And I don't see how it's very useful to me in my life.
OK.
Let's talk about science.
OK.
Are you interested in science.
Yeah I like some sciences.
I would say that I like the social sciences more than the hard sciences.
So when you're talking about psychology sociology science is like that.
Yes I definitely love those types of Sciences.
I wouldn't say I'm a big fan of chemistry and biology but what the social sciences is yes I like those.
Do you watch science TV programmes.
Definitely.
I love love to sit down turn on the television and take a look at Star Trek Star Trek as you might know
is a science fiction show that was created in the United States but it's seen all over the world now
and they always have very very interesting science problems on that program.
In addition I love to watch the Discovery Channel because I'm able to learn a lot in a lot of scientific
information on that.
Do you visit science museums.
I may have been to the south.
I may have I may have been to a science museum once or twice.
I had a really good time.
But there are there have not been many occasions for me to go and visit a science museum.
OK.
Do you think it is important for children to have different activities at school.
Yes yes yes.
Some people think that children should only learn math science
or language they just are just the normal what they call the core classes.
But I think it's really important for students to also learn to go to physical education art music hall
economics all those type of Klahr all those types all those type of classes are really important because
they teach you how to live and appreciate life and grow your creativity.
Have you been involved in any activities during your school years.
Yeah for a long time I worked on the school newspaper and when I was working on the school's newspaper
I was in charge of writing articles for the sports teams.
What would you like to learn in the future.
Well I actually have thought about that a lot.
I think that I would be able to develop an appreciation to become educated in another you know an additional
language.
I think that I would like to learn maybe Chinese or Arabic because they seem to be very import languages
in the world right now also.
Do you like reading books.
That is an affirmative.
I would say that I read probably about two or three books every month and I think that would qualify
me as being somebody who likes to read books.
What type of books do you read.
I mainly enjoy alternative history books and also science fiction books the alternative history books
are very interesting because they give you a look at how life might have been different if some historical
fact had been changed.
Are you or are you reading a book presently.
Yes.
Right now I'm reading a book by a scientific author named John McDevitt and the name of the book is
deep six.
It's about humanity having contact with some type of alien civilization and it's very interesting.
Would you like to write a book in the future.
You know that's that's that's that's that's a very good question.
I think that I might enjoy that process of putting together a book because I think it will be a great
idea for people to see my ideas or read my ideas that I have.
Thank you very much though.
Conclude part 1.
Thank you.
