If you had to make a meal, what would you do?
I'd cook fish fingers. They’re easy.
I'd look for a recipe, buy the ingredients and cook them.
I'd get a takeaway or order something online.
Imagine you had to do the shopping for a week. What would you do?
I’d find a cheap shop and buy crisps, cola and sweets.
I’d go to the nearest supermarket and buy lots of stuff like frozen pizza and apples.
I’d make a shopping list, go to shops that have good value and buy only what I need.
What chores do you do at home?
I do some chores, e.g. I tidy up, set the table, etc. But I don’t know how to use the washing machine and I hate using the vacuum cleaner.
I don’t do chores much at all. That’s for parents, brothers and sisters.
I use the dishwasher, the vacuum cleaner, and the washing machine. Sometimes I iron my shirts.
Do you earn your own money?
Sometimes I earn money by helping somewhere, but I don’t earn a lot.
Yes, I have a part-time job and I can buy my own stuff.
No. When I need money, I ask mum or dad, or my grandparents.
Do you manage your money?
I budget – I plan how much I can spend on going out, hobbies, etc. – and I try to save a little every week.
I often run out of money, so I have to borrow. I don’t see the point of saving.
I try not to overspend, but I don’t really budget. Sometimes I save a little.
Are you environment-friendly at home?
Yes. I always switch off the lights when I leave a room. I also try to save water and to separate rubbish.
I usually remember to switch off the lights. But I like to take long showers.
Not really. Heating, water and electricity are cheap, aren’t they?
Are you looking forward to living with other people?
I’ve never really thought about it. I think I’ll miss home.
Yippee! I can’t wait. It’ll be party, party, party!
Yes, but we’ll have to plan well, share the chores, etc.
Are you a responsible student?
I’m quite responsible. I do my school work, but I sometimes go to bed very late, especially at weekends.
I think I am. I work hard at school and I don’t stay out late in term time.
Well ... I like to go out a lot and to do things with my friends, even in the week. I do my school work when I have time.
If you lost your bus ticket, what would you do?
I’d get it replaced or buy another one.
I’d walk home and get my bike.
I’d panic and then phone home for help.
Are you good at making decisions?
I usually do the same thing as my friends.
Most of the time. But sometimes I can’t make up my mind.
Yes, but I sometimes get advice.
