Interview Writing Tips
Interview:
If you are asked to write an interview, it will be similar to writing a dialogue but the questions will
be given to you (as three bullet points). Instead of an evenly balanced conversation between two
people, an interview will have one person talking a lot, more than others.
Success Criteria:
1. One person asks the questions and the other answers. It is not an equal conversation.
2. Answers need to be long/ detailed; include lots of information that you have read in the
passage.
3. On the exam, questions will be given to you.
4. You must not alter the questions that have been given or add any of your own. You must
stick to writing questions that have been given in the question paper.
5. A neutral tone must be maintained. Depending on the topic, formal to semi-formal tone and
register must be used.
Format of Writing:
1. First questionInterviewer:
Interviewee: (Use the name of the character if given).
-
Using colons is important. The format must be followed thoroughly.
Leave a line after every question and its respective answer.
2. Start the interviewee’s part with- Hi! Thank you for having me here/ It is great to be here. Hi!
Hope you are well; it feels good to be here.

3. Although a conversational tone should be maintained, you must not use slang or colloquial
language, as you will be writing as an expert in a field or an official.
4. Use persuasive devices to create connect with your audience and to put your point forward
effectively.
5. You may sign off with- “Thank you for having me here!” / “It was great to be here!”
