Interviewer: I'm glad you've found some time to talk to me. The survey won't take you long, I promise.
Respondent: Fine.
Interviewer: The first question is about your job, what do you do for a living?
Respondent: I'm a designer.
Interviewer: Designer. Sounds exciting! Do you use a computer for your work?
Respondent: Of course, I do, it is my, it's my essential tool.
Interviewer: Do you work online or offline? And how many hours do you spend online per week?
Respondent: Well, we work mainly online, because we usually work on projects as a team: designers, IT-specialists, marketologists altogether. It is difficult to say the exact number of hours, but I think generally it's thirty hours per week.
Interviewer: I see, approximately thirty hours, right. And do you play any sport to keep fit?
Respondent: Yes, it's absolutely necessary for me, an essential part of my daily routine. I like swimming but I can't do it, because there is no swimming pool nearby. So, I play badminton. My neighbour likes badminton too. So, we play almost every day, either in the park or in the sports center, if the weather is not ok.
Interviewer: Right, thank you. And a question about your origin, if you don't mind. Where were you born?
Respondent: In Greece, I still have lots of relatives there. But my parents and two brothers live in Britain. We all often go to Greece, for holidays, of course.
Interviewer: Greece is a land of art, legends and music. Do you like Greek country music, by the way?
Respondent: No, not really. To tell you the truth, I prefer classical music to anything else. Mozart is my favorite composer. When I'm working, the music is playing softly in the background. It boosts my creativity.
Interviewer: Yeah, lots of creative people like classical music. And do you have any pets at home? The question may sound a bit out of line, but…
Respondent: No, no, that's ok. I have got an unconventional pet.
Interviewer: Which means it is neither a cat nor a dog.
Respondent: Exactly, it's a rabbit, a small white rabbit, very fluffy and cute. It sleeps in its cage but when it's awake it takes walks all around the house.
Interviewer: Amazing! One more question if you don't mind…
