My First Interview Experience In Class

I worked with two of my class mates Lacy and Chris. It was really nice talking to these guys talking about my culture and sharing their culture to me. We started the beginning with the introduction and talked about our day which went really good and easy. Both of my friends I interviewed were from America so, it was easy for me to ask them questions. In the beginning, we shared about our family and culture. With Chris, I talked mostly about the big holidays celebrated in United States and he shared that Christmas and Ester would be the greatest festival. He shared how his families would celebrate the Christmas and get gifts and presents from their parents. Chris also explained he always had fun getting gifts from his parents and he still gets it. We also talked about what kind of religion he was. He explained me that he was undecided of his religion. He considered himself as half Christianity and half as an atheist. Furthermore, we also talked a little about how the marriage ceremony was performed. He explained that most girls and guys go on a date as a start. They might be in a relationship for three years and they decide to get married. In the marriage ceremony, usually there are people from family of both the brides and bridegroom. He explained the ceremony last around for like 45 minutes. I asked him if he had been recently to wedding ceremony, it was interesting to know that he had been to his own parents wedding. It was interesting to learn about all these things about him. With Lacy, It was again easy for me because she was really friendly as soon as we started interviewing each other. We did the same learned the same thing about our family and the environment that we grew up. I was really happy to know that she grew up in the country side and loved being grown up as a daughter of a farmer. She explained that she grew up in smaller place than Saint Cloud which had much more population. We also talked about how we miss our parents because I was away from my parents and she did the same. We talked about the education difference between high school and college both in United States and in Nepal.  It was interesting to know that she was done with her general classes in her high school level. We also talked about the wedding ceremony which was pretty much the same as Chris explained it to me. I think the communicative situation was pretty good and we were much more comfortable to each other. I felt really happy and I am really grateful to our English teacher that we practiced in the class and with our class mates. I think this exercised helped not only me but also to all my friends and this exercise has made much easier for me to interview. I think I am really confident and ready to take interviews with my interviewee.
