This assignment is about doing an interview with a native speaker in english and use
the topic that is based on the learned unit. We choose the sixth unit, “just dial this member”
which contain about tips on life, career, study, relationships and passions. We have had arrange
some question to be asked and have been checked by Miss hesti.
For this assignment, we was looking for the native speaker in some places like
malioboro, prawirotaman street and also Taman Sari, until we founded him in Taman Sari. In
that time, we came late, Taman Sari almost close and the visitor has been decrease and only
one foreign visitor from the remaining visitor. Actually, we were not brave enough to interview
him because his face looked so serious and he looked rushed. Maybe it was also because of the
cloudy weather which make peoples want to go home immediately.
We were hesitant and almost give up, until we saw him sit comfortably in front of
Taman Sari gate, watching a children play a ball. We were still feel the sensation of pounding,
until finally we decided to be brave and take this chance to interview him. We went to him and
give a greeting. We introduced us, tell him what our purpose and ask him some time.
Fortunately he understand what we mean and be ready to be interviewed by us. But the bad
thing is he just want to be interviewed in five minutes. So disapointing, but we think its better
than not at all. Then we interviewed him fastly and asked him just a simple and important
question.
In our video, maybe you can not watch the full part of it. I am so sorry about it, it was
unintentional accident, we have had begun the interview while the camera was not record it yet.
