Interview process

I am one of those people who love to know more about cultures. The class is full of students from different countries, which helps me to know more about their own culture. There are lots of questions I would like to have their answers from sources other than Google, from real person who is in front of me. Because that person is originally from a certain country he or she will be a very reliable source for the information I want.

Another reason that I am doing the interviews is that I get to improve my speaking skills. This reason might not be surprising for my other international classmates because we always seek to have a long talk to other people in English. I personally would benefit from this experience from my international classmates and especially from Americans classmates. I always try to catch how americans answer questions, joke and say other things that I did not know before.

Hopefully by the end of interviewing my classmates I get to achieve those goals and learn from mistakes I might do in the interview to be a better interviewer in the future.
