      1. Choose a partner, like Amma or Didi, to take turns as interviewer and interviewee. 2. Prepare a list of fun topics to ask about, like favorite foods or dream vacations. 3. The interviewer asks a question, and the interviewee responds spontaneously for 1 minute. 4. Switch roles and repeat with new questions. 5. After each round, discuss what went well and areas for improvement. 6. Try to incorporate feedback in your next answers — how did it feel?
