My first interview experience in class

Today I have made two interview situations. This is a good start for me to have conversations. I have learned a lot from the experience. Everything went very smoothly. I have worked with Mutaz and Rashmi. We have made two successful conversations. First, we need be mild and gentle with each other, so that we can get to know each other better. Do not speak very fast or very slowly. Second, we need to ask some open questions, such as start with "how", "what", etc. In this way, interviewee can speak more about his own facts. We can also get more information. Just talk about the interviewee's own situation, and let he or her be more familiar with what he or she can talk. Third, if the interviewee comes across something not familiar, try to explain more and speak more slowly.
From what I have done today I learned I need ask questions more related to the interviewee’s background. I can learn more about the interviewee’s culture and background. The questions should be more comfort to close his or her life. As a matter of fact, I do not need prepare many questions, just need to talk to the interviewee. In this way, we can get to know each other better. Just make it more relax and no more rules.
When I take time to do the real conversation, I need to know who I will interview, and what his or her background is, and what his or her life style. I must know the interviewee better before the interview starts.
