Practise interview

Today, I met a man called Chris Tingle. Chris is 56 and he loves technology, he labels himself as a 'tech head'. I also learnt today that he enjoys his music, specifically he loves to listen to the Beatles whilst he is driving, but can only be played on volume two. Chris also has a passionate love for fairy lights, he travels close and far to witness them. Chris also has a satisfaction for satellite dishes, they are a big part of his life. His love for them was influenced by his father. Chris has a strong connection with them as he talks their language whilst also balancing Romanian as another fluent language. However, Chris dislikes classical music, this is made bearable though if it is enjoyed with the company of a satellite dish. Chris would also class himself as trendy guy. He loves to rave on a Wednesday night. Also, Chris has a great sense of humour, people say he is an out going kind of person.

Questioning????

In today's lesson (13/12/19), we went through different question types, specifically open and closed questions. We then practised asking people questions by starting off with a game which made us ask questions to guess a character. After this, we researched about pigeons and had to come up with 6 questions. When we did this, we asked someone else questions using our phones to record them, first using earphones then using the internal mics of the phone. I found that the internal mics on the phones were better than the earphones. This is probably because the mics in the phones are probably of higher quality and some can support stereo recording. However, if the mic on the earphones were higher quality, then they would have probably been better. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In today's lesson (16/12/19), we did some practise interviews.
