Sample answers:

Examiner: Tell me something about your family.

Candidate: Although I live abroad now, my mum’s family is from Paris and my dad’s family is from Toulouse. So I’m from a very French family. I would say I come from quite a small family, really. For example, I just have one older sister and four cousins, but it’s true that my extended family is fairly big.

Examiner: What do you like doing most with your family?

Candidate: I like having nice long meals with good food and good wine, and a few jokes for dessert!

Examiner: Who are you close to in your family?

Candidate: In my family? Well, I’m close to my Uncle Jacques. He’s a chef. He’s hilarious, always telling jokes, and he’s very enthusiastic about everything he does. We spent a lot of time together when I was growing up. In fact he helped to bring me up.

Examiner: In what way is your family important to you?

Candidate: My family is everything to me. They are my best friends, they support me when things aren’t going well and when things are going well. I know they’ll always be there for me, no matter what.
