Example - Tell me about the holiday. - How are you preparing for your holiday? - Struggles are challenging what is your biggest challenge? - I never feel quite ready either how have you gotten ready in the past? Work has been really busy and I can t seem to finish things off. Mostly I am struggling to get ready for our holiday
Example - What do you find particularly difficult? - How do you spend your time off work? - Which study techniques were useful in the past? - Where do you feel the majority of your time is spent? - When/where/how do you feel you are most effective? I find it difficult to find time to study while working. Tell me how I can find enough time for both
