Interview Practice: About Yourself
Six classic interview questions about you — your background, your strengths, and your English. Read each question aloud first; understanding the question fast is half the skill. · B1 · Interview
How to practice: answer each question out loud in 30–45 seconds. Record one full round and listen for one thing to improve — not ten.
Q: Can you tell me a little about yourself?
Q: Why are you learning English?
Q: What do you do for a living?
Q: What are you good at?
Q: How do you spend your free time?
Q: Where do you see yourself in five years?
The full dialogue with real voices. Listen first, then take your role.
Record yourself, play it back, and compare with the model. Recordings stay in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
Your task
Answer each question aloud in 30 to 45 seconds, and record yourself. Model answers follow a simple recipe: answer directly, add one detail, finish with a reason or example — for “Why are you learning English?” try: “I’m learning English because I want to work with international clients. Right now I’m studying online, and I practice speaking a few times a week. My goal is to hold a full business conversation by the end of the year.” Listen back, pick the two weakest answers, and record them again.
Coach tips
- Buy thinking time naturally: “That’s a good question…” gives you two free seconds.
- Answer in chunks of one idea each — short sentences beat one long, tangled sentence.
- End every answer cleanly. Dropping your pitch at the end signals “I’m done.”
