Part 1
Examiner
Do you like eating chocolate? Why or why not?
Candidate
To be honest, I do not like eating chocolates because I don't like the texture of any chocolate. For example, Dairy Milk and Kit Kats. They are really very soft, but I like things that are very rough, so I do not like any chocolates.
Examiner
How often do you eat chocolate?
Candidate
I do not eat chocolate that often, but I do sometimes consume it when there's a birthday in my home or a colleague of mine is having a rough day because I like to support everybody through their time and so I do not buy chocolate myself.
Examiner
Did you often eat chocolate when you were a kid?
Candidate
Yes, absolutely. I often eat chocolate. When I was a kid, it was one of my favorite things to do, eating chocolates and just lying around. My favorite chocolate was Kit Kat, and it was so smooth and soft that I was really heavenly filled while I ate that.
Examiner
Why do you think chocolate is popular around the world?
Candidate
I think chocolate is a comfort food. Many people, including me of course, feel that while consuming chocolate we have a stable heart rate and then we feel really calm and relaxed from inside. And in today's hectic life, I think that's some kind of thing that is relaxing and affordable as well.
Examiner
What's your favourite flavour of chocolate?
Candidate
I really love milk chocolates and I do not like dark chocolates and the reason behind it is that I don't think dark chocolate suits me. Whenever I try to have some dark chocolate even in low concentration then I get sick. So I instead prefer milk chocolate that is very soft and creamy.
Examiner
Do you think it is good to use chocolate as gifts to others?
Candidate
Well it depends if we should use chocolates as gift to others. For example if we are giving a gift to a kid then that might not be a good idea because they are going to over consume it and then make themselves sick. But if it's some adult who can so self-control and take appropriately then sure.
