Write out all your answers in your language, then translate them in Babelfish. Feel free to post your answers here so we could help you with the grammar and proofreading, but don't expect anyone to make up answers for you. What does that say about your ethnics and as a candidate to head a dept at a university?? Come on dude.

What's Babelfish?

It's an online translator and it's a helpful tool when you want to copy and paste text in one language and then translate it into another language. babelfish.com and there is also Google Translate which I believe has a broader spectrum of languages to choose from. The only issue I've encountered is when you literally translate sentences from one language to another there tends to be grammatical and syntax errors because languages differ in sentence structures. Otherwise they are great tools for basic translating.

I don't think this is the right place to get answers to interview questions. First of all we are all unemployed so we may not be the most skilled interviewers! Secondly there are many sites that have answers to these and other questions.
