Interview with Ani
Me : Hi Ani, how are you?
Ani: Good, how are you?
Me: I am doing good thank you.
Me: How was your class today?
Ani: I am good, my classes are pretty good.
Ani: How are you?
Me: I am doing good, thank you.
Me: Are you ready for the weekend?
Ani: Yeah, I think so, I have a very busy weekend, but I am looking for what to up.
Me: I have a research paper, and I need some information from you. Do you mind helping me with this?
Ani: No
Me: Thank you very much, that sounds good.
Ani: My classes are good.
Me: Can you tell me a little bit about yourself?
Ani: I am an international student coming from China. I am a senior student, and my major is marketing and I have a minor in international business.
Me: How did you find yourself here in the United States? Was it your own decision or your parents' decision?
Ani: It was my parents' decision, after I took the test and transfered it to the university; and they said do you want to go study abroad. I said sure it's fine, I thought it was interesting. They said that they have done the paper work for me; if you want to, you could take the language test. I said that I will do that; I took the test and passed it. And I came here. I did that like in two months.
Me: So you said that you are a senior student. Are you excited about the graduation?
Ani: I am going to apply for the graduate school, so I am still in school.
Me: Ok, it is a good news because you are almost done.
Me: So, how long have you been here in St Cloud?
Ani: This is my first year here.
Me: Are you a transfer student?
Ani: Yes
Me: Where did you come from?
Ani: China
Me: You started in China?
Ani: No, I finished my high school. After that I just came to the United States and went to college.
Me: Ok, besides St Cloud, did you live somewhere else?
Ani: No, this the first school that I attended.
Me: Can you tell me a little bit about your family structure back home?
Ani: Ok, in China, family is the most valuable thing most people think about, and in our culture parents are very important for us. There is a question like if your wife, kids and parents jump in the river, who are you going to save? Most people will say parents.
Me: Ok, that is nice. Who is the head of the family, mom or dad?
Ani: Both are the same.
Me: Ok, that is nice. Can you tell me about the difference of culture between the United States and China?
Ani: You meant the difference?
Me: Yes, is there any difference in cultures?
Ani: China is a very crowded country. There are a lot of people in the street, and everything is very convenient. If you are hungry in the middle of night, you just go across the street and you can have something to eat. Everything is very convenient in China, but it is really crowded; but here they do not have a lot of people here, and you have to do the grocery shopping every week. It seems not very convenient to me, but life here is very comfortable.
Me: So, you like living here better than back home?
Ani: It is different; it is hard to say where life is better but I am enjoying life here.
Me: What are the highlights in your culture? Things that people can see and remember about your country.
Ani: You mean Chinese culture?
Me: Yes
Ani: They will think maybe Chinese people are good in math and good with computers, and maybe they will think that Chinese people are very gentle. They hardly get mad at anything and are hard working.
Me: Yes, I heard about that too. With what you just said, I would like to ask you about the education. Like the education system in your country, is it the same with the education in the US?
Ani: Almost the same just except we have to do a lot of tests. We have like public schools and the private schools. We all need the tests to get in school because there are like in our country schools are not the same. We have like famous schools like every university in the United States, and in China we do have those famous schools like high school, junior high school, elementary school; so everytime you attend the school, you have to pass the test. You have to take the test. So the pressure of the test is really really high, but except that the system is almost the same. But the way we attend school is like to pass the test.
Me: So, do a lot of people get a chance to go to college in China?
Ani: I think eight percent of high school students have a chance to go to college.
Me: Is it expensive? More expensive than here?
Ani: No
Me: That is really nice. And, what is the most famous food in your country?
Ani: Noodles, fries you know Chinese culture has a lot of culture. We have a lot of famous food.
Me: Ok, it was a lit bit easy for you, and I heard a lot of people say that noodles are the quickest menu for students. Most of the time, students are busy and they do not have time to cook; so it was very nice for you because like you mentioned noodles and here a lot of students do like noodles. Even me, I like noodles.
Me: What are your meals like back home? Like size, do you have big size or small?
Ani: Our meals are not the same like the US. Everyone has an entry in front of you. We have like a couple dishes in the middle of table, and each one has maybe a bowl of rice noodles. We share the dishes in the middle of the table. Like in my family we have three people; usually we have like three dishes and soup. All the things we have and we have a bowl of rice. Everyone will have a bowl of rice. And like here, we have three meals a day.
Me: How do you say it?
Ani: Three meals a day, like breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Me: Ok, I got it thank you very much. And what are the holidays you celebrate in your country?
Ani: We celebrate the spring festival. Have you ever heard about that?
Me: No
Ani: The spring festival is the first day of the Chinese calendar because we have our Chinese calendar. So January first of the Chinese calendar is our spring festival and that happens in the end of January
or maybe the beginning of February usually.
Me: Ok, so besides the spring festival what is another holiday you celebrate?
Ani: We have different holidays, like we have very several traditional holidays and we have holidays with that like the spring light festival, moon light festival and the dragonball festival.
Me: Ok, how do you celebrate those holidays?
Ani: We have many ways to celebrate them in different areas and the way we celebrate them are totally different. So it is hard to explain, but during the spring festival everyone in the family gets together having a dinner. That is not a small family. That is all family from grandparents, parents; like in my generation, all my cousins will get together in my grandparents' home and have dinner. And at midnight, the relatives who are older than you will give you a small red bag with the money inside. So that is really good. Right? So I can get a lot of money from them.
Me: So how often do you celebrate it?
Ani: Once a year.
Me: The way you explained about that holiday, it seems like thanksgiving holiday.
Ani: Thanksgiving is our spring festival.
Me: So you guys celebrate thanksgiving holiday?
Ani: No, not the spring festival, it is the moon light festival. The time is like as the middle of the autumn, and we celebrate like we just family stay together and have dinner. We have the moon cake. We have a tradition called moon cake just like thankgiving where they have turkey here.
Me: Ok, and what are the differnt religions in your country?
Ani: There are a lot of different kinds of religions in my country: Christianity, Buddhism, Islam. The others are like the Taoism and the other small religions because most of American people will put those small kinds of religions in with the Buddhism, but I do not think that is the Buddhism.
Me: Ok, and what is the most predominant religion?
Ani: Most of people in China do not have a religion. We do not believe in anything.
Me: Can you tell me about your country child policy?
Ani: We have a one child policy in our country. Basically the policy is like every family. Like one couple only can have one kid. You cannot have the second, but there are also different cases because both of the parents are single children in the family, you can have another one. And if the first kid has a disability, you can have another one. And if you are in the countryside and have to do very hard farm work and the fisrt child is a girl, you can have children until you have a boy.
Me: Ok
Ani: Yeah, there are so many different cases like you can have a second child.
Me: So, you meant if the couple has as the first child a girl, they can have the second one.
Ani: Yes, not every family, just very very few families like those who have to do really hard farm work because most of people in China are living in the city; they do not have to do any farm work.
Me: Ok
Ani: Yes, maybe they have to go out. They are like fishers; they go out for fishing because they have the tradition that girls cannot step into the boat. Otherwise it is a bad luck, so they can have kids until they have a boy.
Me: Ok.
Ani: But that is very vey small area of China; most people just have one child.
Me: What part are you located in?
Ani: I lived in the south part of China.
Me: And do you have siblings?
Ani: No, I do not.
Me: So, you are the only child.
Ani: I am the only child. Both of my parents are not the only child in their family, I am not disabled, we live in the city , we do not have to do the farm work.
Me: Can you tell me what kind of punishment is given to people who violate the child policy?
Ani: Mostly is a gauge of sum, a big sum like maybe seven thousand US dollars. The others are like if you are working in a company or on some farms run by the government or you work for the government, you will be fired if you have another kid.
Me: That is really sad. Do men and women have the same legal rights in your country?
Ani: Almost the same, but we cannot imagine any equal human rights in China.
Me: Ok, yeah that's nice. And what is the legal age to get married in China?
Ani: For men, it is 23 years old; for girls, it is 20 years old.
Me: Ok, thank you very much, Ani, and thank you for providing me this useful information.
Ani: It is ok, it is my pleasure.

ENG 191 section 27
Before the interview
Firstly, I have done my research before the interview because I wanted to learn about China just to make myself comfortable and also to have knowledge of the topics on the day of the interview. After I have done my researsh on the internet and in books that I had gotten at the library, I was so interested about what I had read and formed all interested points into questions. Secondly, I went to Atwood one week before the interview to find two or three Chinese students. I wanted to have at least two students just in case if one of them could not make it; I could still do my interview assignment counting on the second person. It was not easy to find international students from China because most of the students that I approached the first day were not able to make it. I went back to Atwood two days after. I was lucky that day; I met one of my former classmates who was with two of her friends who were from China. These two Chinese girls, Ani and Lee, were so nice; they accepted to be interviewed after I asked them if they would be willing to let me interview them. I have told them that I was available on Friday and Saturday. Whenever they were ready, they could let me know by text messaging an hour before the time we could meet at the librabry. Friday I woke up early in the morning to get ready because I did not know about the time or the day they were willing to meet because both had classes on Friday and had a busy weekend. It was hard for them to set up an appointment. On Thursday, I took an audio recorder at the library even though I did not know the interview day with Ani and Lee, but I wanted to have everything that I needed for my interview. Finally, Ani was available on Friday but Lee could not make it. I got at the library thirty minutes early and booked one study room before she arrived.
After the interview
I thought that the interview was well. I did learn a lot of things concerning China from Ani. It was really interesting because this interview was our first interview, so we were also excited to discover what an interview looks like. Something that I thought was interesting was when she explained about the spring festival holiday. She said that all family members get together and have a dinner. The youngest child gets money from older relatives and cousins. Another thing that I thought was more interesting was the way she explained about the child policy in China. She said that China has a one child policy, but there are some cases that people can continue to have children after they already have one. Farmers and fishers who have as a first born girl can continue to have children until they get a baby boy because parents need boys to help them with the farm work or fishing. And also, if the first child is a girl with disability and both parents are single children, they can have the second child. She also said that people who violate the law have to pay a sum of seven thousand US dollars; and also they get fire if they are working in companies run by the government. I thought that was not fair, and asked Ani after the interview. why should not the government let them at least keep their jobs? She said that is the only way they can stop the population increase in China.

Outline
A- Introduction:
Challenges and benefits students can face when interviewing internationl students
B- Development:
Challenges:
Interwiewing international students can be a challenge because:
1- language barrier.
2- Being afraid to give information to other students.
3- Refused to be interviewed.
Benefits
1- Learn about their culture
2- Learn about internationalstudents life and how to manage their finances
Do you know what are the challenges and benefits when interviewing international students? St. Cloud State University has a lot of international students. This huge number of foreign students helps us to easily do our interview asignments. It is thuth that our University has a lot of international students. However, interviewing international students can have many challeges such as the language barrier, being afraid to give informatition, refused to be interviewed and also have many benefits in learning about international students cultures, life and how they manage their financial problems.
International students have the language barrier. Many international students came from non speaking English countries. In this case, it is very hard for some of international students to express themselves easily and clearly during the interview. They understand the questions; but they are not able to respond like the way they could do it in their native languages.
International students can also be afraid to give information to other students. Some international students might be afraid to be part of the interview because they do not know all about the School rules. Some of international students can think that giving any information to interviewers can put their lives in trouble; also other can believe that something they can say on the the day of the interview; can have negative impact in their students life in the fufure. Being in this position, it will be difficult for the interviewer to convince them or find the person to interview.
In spite of language barrier and being afraid to give information, international students can refuse to be interviewed. There are some international students who would not like to be intervieweb. Most of those students do not give the reason why they do not want to be intervieweb. In many cases international students always say that they do not think that they can be able to do it. For instance, one of my friends was looking for an international student to interview because she had a research paper, but most of international students she approached refused to be intervied; they did not explain why they would not like to be interviewed.
Interviewing international students will benefit interviewers to learn about other cultures. Interviewers will learn many things about the cultures of the person they will be interviewing. The good news about this is that interviewers will learn a lot about their culture during the interview that they cannot learn somewhere esle exccept from the person who have been living in that particular country.
Interviewing international students will also benefit interviewers to learn about international students life and how to manage their finances. Many of those international students are way from their parents. This will be a good opportunity for other students who cannot be way from their families; to learn from them how to live without having their families around them. Interviewers will learn about how life is like, when living out of the country. In spite of learning about international students life, Interviewers can learn how international students manage their fanancial problems. Most of internatinal students know how to manage their finances because they had learned it from their parents before they came in this country. International students know how to spend wisely their money. This will be a wonderful occasion for students who do not know how to manage their finances to learn from them.
In conclusion, Interviewing international students can have many challenges in language barrier, being afraid to give infromation to others, refuse to be interviewed and also have many benefits in learning about their cultures, students life and how to mange their financial problems. The increase of international students at St Cloud State University is very beneficial for all students to do their interview assignment.

3 Countries
I have chosen three countries for my interview; the fisrt country is China, the second is India and the third is Vietman.
I chose China because I would like talk about the child policy.
China is the most populous country in the world. The inrease of population in China had made the government to legislate against the desire of having more than one child. Having many people in a country is good but sometimes it cauces many problems among the population. That is why I would like to learn more about this country and its child policy. It is really sad to see many couples who are living in China whom would like to have more than two children, but cannot do it. For Chinese people who violate the law, they are punised. Most of the countries around the world, people can have children whenever they would like. Unfortunately, it is not the case for China.
I chose Indian because I would like to talk about mising girls in Indian and sex selective abortion.
Indian is the second most populous country in the world. The augmentation of population in India had made the country face gender discrimination . Many little girls over six years have been mising. According to family members, they believe that the government is behind the missing girls because they do not want women to have more girls. On the other hand, parents especially fathers and mothers in law are those who are killing girls. They have a belief that girls means bad luck.
The laws of Indian do not permit abortion. However, in some cases for a smalll family may have outweighed the desire for a child having of a specific gender, leading to abortions. In this case, they have the MTP that is an act says that an abortion may lawfully be done.
I chose Vietman because I would like to talk about brides sale.
Many vietnamese women do not want to get married to vietnamese men. According to those women, getting married to vietnamese men there will always fancial problem. In addition, men of their native country have drinking problem. Most of them would like to get married to Singapore men because they believe that they are better than vietnamese men.

GROUP WORK
I was with Amber McAllister and Joeph Albers, we were group seven. First of all, we have become a group when the teacher asked all of us in class to check on our blogs; and find classmates with who we had the same topic. Only three of us had this topic "writing to get a job". Then we decided to form one group of three people.
Secondly, we decided to talk about how to write a resume and cover letters. My group and I wanted to add other things that can be included when writing to get a job. Unfortunaly, we did not because there were many groups. We had to use our time wisely and have a presentation that is well done. The reason that we talked about these two written documents, the resume and cover letters is because, they are the most important documents to provide when applying for a job. As a group we have done our research online; where we had found three sources that were helpful for the group presentation. Through those sources, our group had learnt how to write a resume and cover letters. A resume is a written document used to provive our background, career, skills,education, and references. We had also learnt that there are three main resume styles which are the chronological, functional and hybrid resume. In addition to a reume, there are cover letters that should be roughly three paragrphs long. In our cover leters, we must tell the employer the reason why we are applying for the job and explain why we think that we will be good for that particular position. After we had all the information concerning our group presentation; we divided our tasks between us. I was in charge of writing the introduction and conclusion while my two group members were in charge of writing the details about the resume and cover letters. Once we were done, we combined everything into one blog and read together as a group. We took our time to read from the biginning to the end, just to make sure that there were no grammar, spelling and other mistakes.
Finally, we had to find out who was going to be the first, second and last speaker. According to the work we have done, there were three different parts for our presentation. The first part was the introduction. We decided that I was going to be the first speaker because the introduction is alway in the biginning. The second part was the development where we had a reume and cover letters. Between both of them the resume is the first thing to do when writing to get a job. Then we decided that Amber was going to be our second speaker and Joseph as the third speaker. We also decided that the first speaker will conclude the group presentation. After all, we spend the rest of our time practicing before the professor started listening to group presentations.

1) I chose this book because of its tittle; I would like to know about the closing of great war in 1918.
2) The book has two authors.
3) At The Eleventh Hour Refflections, Hopes and Anxieties at the closing of the Great War, 1918
4)The book was printed by redwood books Ltd. second edition in 1998.
5) The book was printed in Trowbrigde, England.
I chose this book because of its tittle; I wanted to learn more about the closing war of 1918. Whenever I hear about the word war, it makes me sad. I came from a country that had been destroyed by a civil war. But the good news about this book is, it has many information that can motivate people to stop fighting.The book was written by Hugh Cecil and HLiddle and the tittle is, "At The Eleventh Hour Reflections, hopes and Anxiessties at the closing of War in 1918". It was printed by redwood books in 1998 in England. In this book " The government's food policy saw to it that the food-suply was solved by the end of 1919." ( Hugh Cecil and Peter HLidle 117 ) this shows that where there is war; people face starvation.
