Sample Answers

Which part of your country do you want to live in? You know, I've always been drawn to the coastal regions of my country. I think it's because I love the ocean and the laid-back vibe that comes with living by the sea. Plus, I've got family who live in a beautiful coastal town, so it'd be awesome to be close to them. The scenery's just stunning, and I think it'd be an amazing place to call home.

What is something about your country that makes you feel proud? One thing that really makes me proud is our country's diversity. We've got people from all walks of life, and I think that's something that's really unique and special. I love how you can hear different languages being spoken on the streets, and how we celebrate so many different cultures. It's just really cool to see how everyone comes together and makes our country feel like a big, happy family.

Do you know much about your country’s history? Yeah, I do! I mean, I'm no expert, but I've learned a fair bit about it in school. I think what's really interesting is how our country's history is still really visible today – you can see it in the architecture, the food, the music... it's all still got that rich history woven in. I've always been fascinated by the stories of how our country was founded, and the struggles that our ancestors went through. It's pretty amazing to think about how far we've come.

Will you live in your country in the future? I hope so! I mean, I love traveling and experiencing new places, but at the end of the day, there's no place like home. I think our country's got a lot to offer – the people, the culture, the landscapes... it's all just so unique and special. Plus, I've got family and friends here, so I think it'd be tough to leave them behind. That being said, I do want to travel and see the world, so we'll see what the future holds – maybe I'll come back to my country after exploring a bit!
