If they have to provide an interpreter then know that they've been taken off the line. You don't want that.

There are no routine line of questions, it depends on how the officer feels. Make sure they have your Name, address, phone number printed out and most importantly their itinerary (return ticket). Also be at the airport and make sure your phone is fully charged.
No sin in failing, you just have to try and try again!

If you’re from outside the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein
You’ll usually be asked why you’re coming to the UK.
And any related follow up questions.
