Would you mind answering a few questions? If you don’t mind, we would like to record the interview as a class practice. Thanks a lot.

POSSIBLE QUESTIONS:

1. Where are you from?
2. How long are you staying in Madrid?
3. What is the purpose of your visit?
4. Where are you staying (type of accommodation)?
5. What monuments or places have you visited so far?
6. Which one did you like most? Why?
7. Could you give us a short description that summarises its main features?
8. Did it fulfil your expectations? If not, why not?
9. From you point of view, which are the top five visitor attractions in Madrid?
