Stage 1
I      Good morning my name is Clive. Could you tell me your full name, please.
C     My name is Xiao Ying. But you can call me Margaret.
I      That's great and who gave you that name?
C     My former English teacher gave that to me. She said I reminded her of Margaret Thatcher.
I      Interesting. Can you tell me where you're from?
C     Sure. I'm from Beijing.
I      May I see your identification please?
C     Here you go.
I      Now just to start out, I'd like to ask a few questions about you. Are you currently working or are you a student?
C     I am currently a student at university.
I      Right and what is your major?
C     My major is in Engineering.
I      Why did you choose to study engineering? Did you make the choice by yourself?
C     Well in a way but I was also steered that way by my parents. They uh,uh_uh wanted me to have a good techna technical job.  
I      Well, even though you were influenced by them, do you still like your major?
C     Yes I do. An engineer is a creator and a manager at the same time. I like learning about how to solve new problems.
I      Is there anything about your major that you don't particularly like?
C     Well at times I found it a bit uh,uh,uh tedious, because you have to study a lot of technical terms and informations.
I      Well how about when you are not studying? Let's now talk about what you like doing in your spare time? Do you have any hobbies or interest?
C     Yes one thing I enjoy doing is to playing bridge.
I     When you do get time off from school during your holidays, what do you usually do? Uh, well different things. I mean, sometimes I go travelling. I think the main thing that I try to do is to catch up on sleep.
I      You say you sometimes go travelling. Well let's talk a little bit about travelling and transport. If you're going on a long trip, how do you prefer to travel?
C    To tell you the truth, I'm a bit scared of planes, and of course they're more expensive. So I guess my favourite way is to do I mean go by train, so long as the train is not too crowded.
I      Has transportation changed much in the last 20 years?
C     Well in China people are uh,uh, very crazy about cars and so if you go to to any major city in China, you will see a lot more cars on the road then there was ever used to be.
