Intereview 3
Preparation:
This interview is my third interview; it is also my last interview. I was made in the Shoemaker Hall at 5:00 pm on Tuesday, Nov 22nd. For preparing this interview, I have researched some sorts of information on the website, like some useful methods of doing a successful interview, what a country of Brazil likes, and write several questions which should be asked during the interview. I believe that after two times of interview, I have already accumulated much experience, and also found that I still have much disadvantage that I need to change, my English pronouncement still need to improve. After practicing the interview with some of my friends, I make an appointment with Kevin, one of my best friends from Brazil. We are all familiar with each other, so I want to choice him to become my last interviewee. I print my question list and give him one of them before the interview. I hope this interview will be much better than the first two interviews.
Description:
This time, I decide to change interviewee from another country. Brazil is one of the best choices, because I like this country, the people in this country is nice enough and active enough, and also the soccer game in Brazil is my biggest reason to choose Brazil, I like Brazil national team so much, there are many super star come from there. The questions of my third interview is almost the same as the second one, I ask him something about why he choice to study in America, his family, the religion in Brazil and the essential festival and food in Brazil. This time, I didn’t feel any nervous any more, I feel relax asking the questions of my interview, because I have already practice the interview for a long time. I believe that this interview is real better than my first one and my second one. My experiences of the first two interviews help me finish it very well. I think I really receive a lot after three times of interviews, next time, if I have chance, I will interview different people from different countries, because it is beneficial for me.
