This speaking activity is designed for these students who take their first steps in speaking. You can safely give it a go with beginners or elementary students. As you see, the questions are very direct and may push some people out of their comfort zone. So if you don't want this introductory 'interrogation' to be  too harsh, you can let your students know equally straightforwardly that they don't have to give the very exact details concerning their private situation. Instead of saying 'I'm divorced,' they can say 'I'm single,' instead of saying 'I live in Rome,' their response can be about living in Paris etc. Of course, it's not about lying - just about recognising the communicative functions of the messages given and putting it all across correctly. :)
