Topic: Public Speaking
1. Why do you think so many people are afraid of public speaking?
o A lot of people feel anxious about speaking in front of others for a few
common reasons. First, there’s the fear of being judged—they worry that
others will think they’re not good enough or find them boring. Another fear
is making mistakes, like forgetting what to say or stuttering, which can really
knock confidence. And then, if they don’t have much experience, it’s harder
to stay calm, especially when facing a big or unfamiliar crowd.
2. What can you do to reduce anxiety before giving a presentation?
o There are a few good ways to ease anxiety before a presentation. Practicing
regularly helps you get familiar with the material and boosts confidence.
Rehearsing in front of friends or recording yourself can also give valuable
feedback. Deep breathing exercises can calm your nerves, and using positive
visualization and affirmations helps build a confident mindset.
Topic: Health
1. Do you have any unhealthy habits?
o Like many people, I do have some unhealthy habits. For example, I
sometimes skip meals when I’m busy or stressed, which can impact my
energy levels and focus. I also spend too much time on my phone or
computer, especially late at night, which messes with my sleep quality.
Another habit I’m working on is cutting down on caffeine, since I rely on
coffee to stay alert but sometimes drink too much, which isn’t great for my
health in the long run.
2. How often do you get a health check?
o I try to get a health check once a year to make sure I’m in good health and
catch any issues early. Regular check-ups help me stay proactive about my
health and monitor key things like blood pressure, cholesterol, and overall
fitness. If I’m not feeling well or something unusual comes up, I’ll get
additional check-ups. I believe preventive care is essential to avoid potential
health problems later on.
Topic: Past Experiences
1. What was your scariest experience in the past?
o One of my scariest experiences was getting stuck in an elevator alone. The
elevator suddenly stopped between floors, and it felt like I was in there
forever. My heart was racing, and the cramped space made me feel really
anxious.
2. What did you do to overcome your fear?
o To get through it, I focused on my breathing and tried to stay as calm as
possible. I kept reminding myself that help was on the way, and I pressed the
emergency button to call for assistance. After a while, I heard someone from
maintenance reassuring me, which helped me stay calm until they got me
out. This experience taught me the importance of staying composed and
knowing that help is usually available if you reach out for it.
Topic: Living Costs
1. What is your biggest living expense?
o My biggest living expense is rent, which takes up a large part of my budget
because of high prices in urban areas. Utilities like electricity, water, and
internet also add to monthly costs. Other major expenses include groceries
and transportation, but rent is my biggest financial commitment.
2. What do you do to reduce it?
To reduce rent costs, I live with roommates to share expenses. I’m also mindful of my
energy use to lower utility bills, like turning off lights and using energy-efficient
appliances. I’ve thought about moving to a more affordable neighborhood, even if it
means a longer commute. Plus, I look for discounts on utilities and other expenses to help
cut down my monthly costs
