- At other times, the examiner might ask a variety of topics, as in this case, with not only the environment, but also about hobbies and the family.5:27
- This can happen for two reasons.5:37
- One, if the examiner feels that some of your answers are rehearsed or you're using templates, like I have several hobbies, including sports, music, but the one I would like5:39
- to talk about is reading, then the examiner might switch up the questions and ask you about family.5:50
