Question: Did you have any special talents or skills when you were a child?

Sample Answer (The AREA technique):

Answer: Yes, I had a few special talents and skills when I was a child.

Reason: Children are often curious and creative, and may develop various talents and skills based on their interests, hobbies, or exposure to different experiences and influences. These talents and skills can shape their personality, confidence, and future career aspirations.

Example: For instance, I was good at drawing and painting, and used to win prizes in school competitions. I also enjoyed playing musical instruments, such as the piano and the guitar, and performed in local events. Moreover, I was fluent in multiple languages, including my native language, English, and French, which helped me in communicating with diverse people and cultures.

Alternative: However, not all children may have special talents or skills, or may have difficulty discovering and developing them due to various factors, such as lack of resources, support, or motivation.
