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.

LEO topic selection
I'm choosing My native language is not English as my LEO topic. I am a Chinese, so English is my second language. When I using English, I always find English's grammar is different from chines, such as times. There are many tenses in English, past, present, future. So I want to know all of times and master them.

Story
Once upon a time, there was a very smart young monk, he traveled to a lot of countries, and he was required to collect the seal from each country by his master. One day, he came to a new country which named Phoenix City. He went to the palace because he wanted to get the seal from the emperor. To his surprise, the king did not hope give monk seals so easily, so the king gave monk two difficulty questions, if the monk can not answer each question, he will be punished by the king to stay here be a slave forever, but if he answer all of these questions correctly, the king will build a statue for him. Monk agrees with this condition.
The king asked a slave to bring an elephant come inside and ask monk:” tell me its weight." Monk said is easy, than he took the elephant to the boat on the river, he used the rule to measure how deep the boat sank into the river. After that, he used the coins to instead of the elephant make the boat sank in the same position as before. Monk asked two slaves to take the coins out of the boat and use steelyard to get each coin’s weight and add the number together. So he got the elephant's weight.
The king was surprised of monk's result. He gave another question that was:” there are one hunter, one wolf, one man, one woman, two jars and two trophies on the island, how could you use one boat to carry them to arrive to other side?" The boat can only carry two items on it, and only hunter, man and woman know how to paddle the boat. Only woman and man stay together the woman can not broke the jars and the man can not steal the trophies, the very important part is if the wolf only stay without hunter, it will broke or eat all the other things. Monk thought a while, than said:" 1. Hunter carries wolf to another side and leaves wolf there, after that hunter goes back; 2. Hunter carries one jar to another side, and drops the jar, after that carries the wolf back to the island. 3. Man carries another jar to another side, drops it, than goes back; 4. Man carries woman to another side, man leaves there and woman comes back to the island; 5. Hunter carries wolf to another side, both of them leave there and man comes back; 6.Man carries woman to another side, man leaves there and woman comes back to the island; 7. Woman carries one trophy to another side, both of them leave on there, hunter and wolf come back; 8. Hunter carries another trophy to another side, drops it, then come back; 9. Hunter carries wolf to another side."
The king can not believe that because no one can answer this question in his country. "Well done, young monk, you are amazing." the king said. “I will keep my promise and also this is my cloak, I give this as a gift to you, my hero, I want to see you again. " Young monk took a seed out of his pocket and gave that to the king said: "Keep this seed, when this seed come out to become a flower, which is the time I will come back.”
