General Rules:
Here are some general rules about Part 1 that you may find useful. The point of Task 1 is for you to answer shortly to many questions. Think of it like an interview where you need to answer questions about yourself. You should:
Keep it short. When you practice, in general try to answer in 15 to 20 seconds per question.
Give at least 1 reason and 1 real-life example. Again very general but try to have at least 1 real example in your answer.
Talk about yourself. This part is all related to you (if the question doesn't say another person).
So, lets take a look at some questions:

Can you remember the dreams you had?
Answer 1:
Occasionally. At times, my dreams get so messy that I forget them the moment I wake up. I'd remember dreaming about familiar places or familiar people like relatives, but if it was some fairytale, I'd probably forget it instantly.
My Personal Answer:
Do you share your dreams with others? (or are you interested in others' dreams)
Answer 1:
I think I'd keep the scary ones, like nightmares, or the weird ones to myself. I would share the magical ones. Every now and then I would dream of some fantasy story that I participate in, and I can't wait to tell that to my parents or to some of my friends. These are always interesting to have a chat about.
My Personal Answer:
Rarely, although I would share a dream if it involves a very close person. I would meet that person and say "You know what happened?", or "You can't guess what I dreamed about you!". On a serious note, I would share the funny and fascinating dreams that I have, and I'll keep the weird ones for myself. Sometimes, even I can't understand the content of the dream and I wouldn't confuse others with it.
Do you think dreams have special meanings?
Answer 1:
I used to believe that when I was younger, and even now I have some second thoughts about it. I used to have a few books on dreams and their meanings, but same as astrology, at some point (especially when nothing came true) I started doubting my dreams and maybe began to realize they are simply random, without any meaning.
My Personal Answer:
From what I understand, it seems that dreams are our brain, reacting to some hyper-emotions brought in our life. It could be an epic movie we've seen lately, or it could be the passing of a relative. Regardless, the meaning is related to us experiencing some type of positive or negative shock in our life, and then that manifests itself in the form of dreams. No, I don't believe we can see the future through dreams.
Do you want to make your dreams come true?
Answer 1:
Speaking of the ones I dream of while sleeping, I would like to see some of them come true for sure. Sometimes I'd dream about having long vacations in a paradise island, or a faraway country. That's the type of dream I'd like to come true. For the rest, I'd say no. It's better if those remain imagination.
My Personal Answer:
What kinds of dreams do you often have?
Answer 1:
As I mentioned a little before, I've dreamed of traveling to some exotic locations. What else is there... Hmm. I remember dreaming of some fairytales that I participate in or I see in first-person view. It was sort of like a VR game I could interact with. Really awesome experience. I'd like to have those dreams more often, to be honest.
