Interviewer Why do you think the woman is giving the girl some money?
Candidate I can’t be sure, but I guess the woman is the girl’s mother. I think she’s giving her a €20 note – it certainly looks like a €20 note. I’m pretty sure she’s giving her the note because it’s her pocket money. Um, another possibility is that she’s giving her the money so that she can go out. It could be that she’s going to the cinema or something like that. It’s difficult to say.
Interviewer Do you and your friends take a lot of money with you when you go out? Why? If not, why not?
Candidate No, I wouldn’t say I take a lot of money with me when I go out. For example, I usually take about €10 with me. Actually, I’ve got €10 in my pocket right now! I haven’t got much money, so I have to be very careful with it.
As for my friends, I’d say that they probably take the same amount with them as I do. In fact, I’m pretty sure that no one takes a lot of money with them. I think it’s much safer if you don’t carry a lot of money around.
Interviewer Tell me about the last time you went out with your friends.
Candidate The last time I went out with my friends was on Saturday. One of the boys in our group, Andy, had told us about a basketball match in the evening, so we decided to go and watch it. I hadn’t seen Andy play before so I didn’t know he was so good – he scored twelve points while we were watching! In the end, Andy’s team won, so we all had dinner together to celebrate. We all had a great time and I got home at about midnight.
