EIKEN Grade Pre-1 Stage 2 Interview practice
Practise Pre-1's narration-based Stage 2 Interview
Practise the warm-up, the 4-panel narration, and the 4 examiner questions out loud. No recording or scoring.
This is a self-practice tool for Pre-1's required Stage 2 Interview, not the official EIKEN interview and not a Petra tutor's coaching session.
What Pre-1's second stage includes
- Warm-up conversation (not evaluated)
- 4-panel-illustration narration (1 min prep, 2 min narrate)
- Q&A No. 1: about the illustration
- Q&A No. 2 and No. 3: about the general topic
- Q&A No. 4: a broader related social issue
This practice set does not simulate a full official interview and does not predict a pass, fail or CSE score.
Warm-up conversation
How did you get here today? / What did you have for breakfast this morning?
4-panel narration
One weekend, this family decided to go camping.
A family stands beside a car on a sunny morning, loading camping bags into the open trunk.
The family sets up a triangular tent at a green campsite surrounded by trees.
Heavy rain falls as the family stands near a small cooking pot outside their tent.
The family sits together inside the tent at night, eating dinner by lantern light, smiling.

Q&A No. 1 (about the illustration)
Please look at the fourth picture. How do you think the family is feeling, and why do you think so?
Q&A No. 2 and No. 3 (general topic)
- Now, let's talk about spending time outdoors. Do you think it is important for families to spend time together outdoors? Why or why not?
- Some people say that smartphones and other devices make it harder for families to enjoy time together outdoors. What do you think about that?
Q&A No. 4 (broader social issue)
These days, more people are choosing to spend vacations close to home in nature rather than traveling far away. Do you think this trend will continue in the future?
This only records that you practised. What you said is never saved or sent.
