    Your Task

    Think about your first day at a new job, school, or in a new city. Whether it was exciting, nerve-wracking, or both, first days tend to leave lasting impressions. Consider a specific first day that stands out in your memory. Describe your first day at a new job or school. Talk about how you felt, what happened, and what made it memorable.

    How It Works

    You will have 30 seconds to prepare, then 60 seconds to record your response. You can pause and review before submitting.
