Sample Answers

What did you like to the most when you were in primary school? You know, I think what I liked most about primary school was recess. I loved playing tag with my friends during lunchtime. We'd run around like crazy, and it was just a great way to get some exercise and have fun. I think it's because I was a really energetic kid, and I needed to burn off some steam. Plus, it was a great way to make new friends and just be a kid, you know?

How did you get to your primary school? I took the bus, which was actually a lot of fun. I got to sit with my friends and chat about our weekends or what we were gonna do at recess. It was like a little social hour before school even started. My parents would drop me off at the bus stop, and then I'd ride it to school. It was pretty convenient, and I liked the independence of not having to rely on my parents to drive me everywhere.

Did you like your primary school? Yeah, I really did. I think it's because my teachers were all super supportive and encouraging. They made learning feel really engaging and interactive, which I loved. We'd do all these hands-on projects and activities that made me feel like I was actually accomplishing something. Plus, the school had a great playground, and we'd have these awesome assemblies with music and performances. It was just a really positive environment, and I think that's why I have such fond memories of it.

What did you do in your free time at primary school? Well, I was actually really into art back then. I loved drawing and painting, and my teacher, Mrs. Johnson, would always give me extra paper and supplies to work on my projects. I'd spend hours just doodling and creating these elaborate stories with my friends. We'd also play these games like 'The Floor is Lava' or 'Red Light, Green Light' during recess, which were just a blast. It was great to have that freedom to just be creative and have fun.
