Third Interview Report

Third Interview

Preparation:

              This is my last interview, I have made two interviews before so I have a lot of experience now. I want to make the last interview to be the best one. So I did much preparation before the third interview. Suain is my last interviewee for this interview, he is coming from Japan. Before I make the interview I did research on the internet in order to find some information what I have to know, such as the religion in Japan, population of Japanese and so on. I found that I wanted to know more about Japan. Then I also try my recorder again so that I can make sure the recorder is OK. By listening to the record of my first interview again and again, I have already found many disadvantages of my interviewing, so this time I can improve my interview go to better. I make the appointment with Justin ask him what time is work for him. At the same time, I asked him would him like to be interviewed about international students, for my English 191 class. He said he was willing to take part in my interview. We decided the time and place by e-mail, so we met at first floor of Library. I think library is a quite place for making the interview. He told me his English is not good so he hope I can ask him question as slowly as possible. I know my English is poor as well, so I have to practice in advance. So I listened my recorder again and again, I want to make better than before.

Description of the interview:

               Japan is also a Asian country, like China they have familiar customs and education system. This time I want to know more couture about Japan. I began the interview by asking him to tell me a little about himself and his country. I was surprised to learn that there was not much difference between my religion and Muslim. I am interested in his country’s schooling and education system. In their high they have to get early in the morning and work 12 hours a day. This is same condition like we have in China so we talk a lot about the schooling. In Japan they usually celebrate Christian festivals such as Christmas and Easter. Because in his country any festivals have been lost their true meaning in the same way  the festival was more likely a day to hold parties. When we talk about the relationship between China and Japan, he told something very objective, he thought China is a developing country it has became more and more strong. Japan is a developed country we have to get along with each other. I said I agree with him this is no problem between China and Japan. This is why we enjoyed our time when we talk about the culture.
