Report on country presentation
Report on country presentation
Every time when I move around the St Cloud State University campus I feel a sound from my heart that says “know your neighbor”. In SCSU we find an environment where we get opportunity to introduce with different country people and with their culture. We got the learning opportunity about different culture in our classroom too. Here we have to find an international student and take his interview and make a report and presentation on it. Each group consists of 3 to 5 people.
Our first group presented China and Mongolia. They described the brief history and meaning of Chinese and Mongolian flag. That able to draw others attention. We got very interesting information about Chains one child policy. Many of us didn’t know it. The presentation was good because it includes pictures. At the end of presentation our Chinese friends expressed how their accent differentiates from province to province.
Group 3 presented Japan and Korea. They told us about geography and islands of Japan and also some presented some historical evidence. We briefly informed the partition of Korea. They also include as picture.
Group 4 presented Malaysia, Indonesia. They presented the flag and country description like other groups. They include different festivals and cuisines.
Group 5 presented Turkey and Saudi Arabia. Personally I liked their presentation very much. The unique thing they did, they gave us a map of the area. And the good thing of the presentation was, when they presented the area, one of our Arab friends named Walid explained in detail. That makes us very clear about the presentation. I thing from this presentation our American friends can informed about the Muslim culture and the judicial system.
Group 6 – 7 presented different countries of Africa including Burundi, Kenya, Togo, and Ethiopia. From their presentation I personally liked the information about colony and languages. Group 6 presented a video clip local dance. That was great.
In brief each group tried to find information about other countries in their own way.

Report on Interview experience
Report on Interview experience
From the entire sections experience it goes without saying that everybody enjoyed the the interview session as a interviewer . It is very common to face little problem while interviewing. This troubles varies from different person, still few common problem arise. For an example to catch the unfamiliar terms of the culture. More or less all of us face that problem. From my experience I need to request my interviewee to tell detail about his culture. The reason is when he talked about his festivals I did not get anything. Some of classmates got the same problem. One of my classmate find some vocabulary problem. While he was taking the interview the interviewee addressed some local terms that has no English meaning. Few people find problem in ice breaking time. It is not very easy talk with an unknown person.The person who interview their friends or neighbours they didn't face much problem but people who were find international student from CIS or other international organization find the problem. Another problem arise at the time of recording interview. Some of us not able to collect tape recorder and few of us find problem while recording. Couple of interviewer delayed their interview time. Some takes it twice. Sometime it appears as a hazard to interviewee. Although we had time limits about 30 - 40 minutes but it was really tough for all of us to maintain that time limit. The reason is when and starts talking it looks odd to stop him during talking. Most of our classmates tried maintain track and figure out some very interesting topic from midst of them.
The good side of the interview was it was a practice about approaching people. When we enter our real professional life we need to work with different kind of person. That was a great practice for us.
In brief, taking an international students interview was full of fun in general. Knowing about a person as well as a culture brings a different experience to us.
