Example of an interview:
Tutor: So Juan, you uploaded an interestion photograph in the forum and we are going to
talk about it.
Student: Ok, I chose that one because it was an unforgettable birthday.
Tutor: Ok cool! What important moment do you have about this particular photograph?
Student: Well, about that picture, if there is something in my life that I could not forget, it
would be my 18th birthday. I learned the true value of friendship at that point of life. Since I
was a small child, I did not like birthday parties as it was tedious. I dislike crowds and people
fussing over me. It can be annoying when many people tried to be nice on that particular
day. Well, my perception on birthday changed completely on my 18th birthday
Tutor: Ok, thats great, continue please!
Student: Yes, something unexpected happened and whenever I think about that day, it puts
a smile on my face
Tutor: Why? What happened?
