Sample statement 1:
Talk about a memorable journey.
Where did you go?
Who was with you?
Why did you go?
How did you travel?
Sample answer:
A memorable journey… for me, that immediately brings to mind a backpacking trip I took when I was younger. I'd always wanted to explore Vietnam, and when I finally saved enough money to make it happen, I booked the first flight I could!
If I’m honest, I was a bit nervous travelling alone, and there were definitely some unexpected challenges along the way. Miscommunication about train tickets, the occasional bout of food poisoning...those kinds of things.
But these were outweighed by the incredibly positive experiences. I saw the stunning beauty of ancient temples, the vibrant, chaotic markets, and most of all, the genuine kindness of the people I met.
Wherever I went, I struck up conversations with locals. Some spoke little English, while others, especially the travellers from around the world like me, could speak English fluently. These connections, even if short-lived, felt incredibly meaningful.
That trip really pushed me out of my comfort zone and I learned a lot about myself. I was surprised by how capable I was of navigating new places and situations on my own. I still think that journey helped shape who I am today. It gave me the love of travel that I still carry with me.
Sample Statement 2:
Talk about a time you helped someone.
Describe the situation.
What did you do to help?
How did it make the other person feel?
How did it make you feel?
Sample answer:
Ah, yes! One moment that comes to mind is a time when I assisted a fellow passenger in a train station. It was a few years ago, not long after I first moved to Manchester actually. I was on my way home after work, when I spotted an older woman struggling with some heavy bags. She looked quite frail, and I could see she was having a hard time getting the bags up the escalator.
As I approached, offering to help carry the bags, she lost her balance! Luckily, because I was so close, I was able to catch her, stopping her from having a potentially nasty accident. I reassured her that I would help her, taking her bags as she leant gratefully against the side of the escalator, until we reached the top
She was so relieved, and she thanked me several times as I walked with her to a nearby bench. I sat chatting with her for a while, which was lovely! She told me all about her children and grandchildren. I told her about my experiences trying to make new friends in a strange city. We then left the station together, where I helped her put the bags in a taxi.
While it was just a small act of kindness, it felt important to us both. She kept thanking me, with a genuine, warm smile that warmed my heart. It left me with a feeling of connection, like I was finding my place in Manchester.

Hello! Thanks for your message. I've just messaged you in the Udemy course, but here's the response copied just in case:
"Hello, thanks for your question. There is the option to change the language of the captions. If you click on the captions button on the bottom right of the video, you'll see the option to change to 'English (auto)'. Please let me know if that doesn't work. Thanks! Francis"
