If you don’t understand the question that you are being asked, say so, don’t try and wing it, or even worse lie. Your interviewer will find out in the end

Have a few questions to ask the interviewer that are relevant to the position and company

Finally... be enthusiastic, make it clear you are interested in the job, you could end the interview by shaking their hand and saying "I'm very interested in the position and I hope to hear from you very soon"
