Good Evening All,

I have just been informed by my boss, that he told all middle school and high school parents, that I will drill 50 interview questions and answers with them. The questions should relate to meeting foreigners for the first time, or questions they need to know for their interview at a foreign high school.

So far I have:

* What do you want to be in the future and why?
* Why did you apply to be a student at this school?
* What is your favourite subject and why?
* What do you like to do in your spare time?
* What are your personal strengths and weaknesses?

I also have to make example answers for. Therefore, I am looking for any links to such questions and answers, or any more input would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

KB

You came up with 6 before asking others to do it for you? You must be a king off to drink fine wine.

A google search will yield many results.

How important is academic honesty to you? Do you feel that plagiarism or other forms of cheating are serious problems? To what extent?

How important is individual initiative in an academic setting?

How flexible should a grading scale be? Do you think people should be able to appeal low grades due to attendance, poor performance, or general incompetence? Are lame excuses a good substitute for actual effort?

Define the word "integrity" and tell me your personal philosophy regarding the subject.
