Speaker day!!

Today, we had a speaker named form somewhere else. And he is a journalist. He basically was talking about the interview stuffs. And I think this is very useful. Because as a journalist, we have to use the stories to convey a message to the people. In order to write an interesting and true story to kinda catch the people’s attention, we need to go out and do some research. And interview is one of the most important procedures. I have learned what we should do before and during the interview. And when we better talk notes and when we better use the voice recorder during the interview. Jim said that if we use the recorder, the interviewee might get a bit nervous. And there are some abbreviations that we can use to take notes during the interview. But he said it is pretty hard and complicate to learn it. And then we had role play in pairs. He gave us some situations, one of us be the journalist and the other one was the interviewee. And Jim use this as an opportunity to see what we did during the interview. He pointed out what is wrong and what we should do when we faced the awkward problems .It is very interesting to watch that. And I think we had fun today.
