Script:

Mr Bennett: Hello, Diane. Welcome to Westside University. I’m Neil Bennett, the admission officer. 

Diane: Nice to meet you, Mr Bennett. It’s my honour to be selected for this interview. 

Mr Bennett: I appreciate you making the trip. I know your house is hours away from the campus. 

Diane: My dream is to attend this university so I didn’t mind the long ride.

Mr Bennett: As you probably know, besides academic records and entrance exam results, we also take into account students’ extracurriculars, interests and goals to choose those who fit our school's missions and values. Therefore, it is you that I want to know more about. What is your hobby?

Diane: I enjoy performing arts. Having joined the theatre club to improve my self-confidence, I found out that I actually enjoy it.

Mr Bennett: Interesting. Which is the quality that you're most proud of?

Diane: I take pride in my independence. Having studied independently from a young age will help me start college life more easily.

Mr Bennett: What do you think is your weakness?

Diane: Because of my independence, I struggle to know when to ask for help. It’s something I like to improve about myself. 

Mr Bennett: Alright. Would you like to take a look around the campus? We can talk more on the way.
