How to answer in Japan
★Do not hand it in blank. If you cannot read it, ask right there. ★Point at the line and say これ、なんて書いてありますか — you can find out what it says without being able to read it. This one sentence works at a hospital and at the city office. Once you are used to it, これは？ on its own is enough.
⭕️ A good answer
すみません、これ、なんて書いてありますか。
Excuse me — what does this say?
❌ Not enough
（読めないまま、空欄で出す）
Handing it in blank. If you leave it empty, the doctor has nothing to go on, and nobody knows you could not read it.

Where this comes from
Every question here comes from an interview on video, from a published guide to applying and interviewing in Japan, or from teachers explaining Japanese interviews in Nepali. Where a question turns on an official rule, the official page is listed as well. These are the sources for this one.
