Zoya: Okay.

Examiner: Where are you living at the moment?

Zoya: Well, basically, I live in Quincy, which is located in the south part of Boston but in
the near future we're considering to move from there.

Examiner: Do you like the area you're living in?

Zoya: Honestly, I'm not so satisfied with our local area for a number of reasons and the
first one is that I would like to get more facilities like educational facilities,
probably stores and other infrastructure in the nearby area. As well as this,
probably I would get more parks or some more recreational areas.

Examiner: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Do you know many people who live nearby?

Zoya: Honestly not so much. However, I know that generally our local community is
pretty friendly. However, I have not so much time to initiate contacts so that's a
reason why I don't know a lot of people there.

Examiner: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Let's about breakfast.

Zoya: Okay.

Examiner: What do you usually eat for breakfast?

Zoya: So, basically I try to follow a balance between proteins, whole grains, fiber and
other nutrients in my breakfast, just to contribute to my health.

Examiner: Why?

Zoya: I would have to say that I try to keep a well-balanced diet as well as this to cut
out some harmful ingredients from my diet. That's the thing, that I'm trying to
have a well-balanced breakfast every single day.

Examiner: Do you eat something special for breakfast on the weekends?

Zoya: It really depends. Well, generally, sometimes we do eat pancakes because my

husband loves it a lot. However, on the weekend, we just have our regular
breakfast.

Examiner: And did you enjoy eating the same types of food when you were a child?

Zoya: Definitely not. This was something really boring because I remember that every
single morning I used to an oatmeal or other cereal and to be honest, not every
child is passionate about the type of meal but my parents believed that, that's
kind of useful.

Examiner: Why do they say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day?

Zoya: That's a good question. There are a couple of reasons for it and the first one is
that by eating a healthy breakfast and a good breakfast you contribute to your
body because it's a good fundament for your day. As well as this, by eating a
pretty fat breakfast or something like that, you can gain not so much weight in
comparison for a fat dinner.

Examiner: Now, let's talk about friends.

Zoya: Okay.

Examiner: How often do you spend time with friends?

Zoya: Once in a blue moon to be honest because due to my family commitments.

However, sometimes certainly we do catch up with each other so probably once
in a month or two months.

Examiner: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Would you rather spend time with one or two friends or
a large group of friends?

Zoya: It really depends. If we speak about, let's say Super Bowl Sunday or just some
other special events, I would rather spend my time with a group of friends
because this is something which is really crucial for everyone. However, if we do
just regular meeting or so on, I would spend with a couple of friends my time. It
depends really.

Examiner: Thank you.

Zoya: Okay.

Examiner: Good job. Yeah. I think you're getting stronger as you go on the more times we
do.

Zoya: Yeah. I try.
