Interviewing

Yesterday after school, Michael, Janet, and I went to the Temple Street to do the English project. Because it was after school and it was already 4:00pm so the time is limited. We did it in more than three hours and my mum asked me to go to home immediately when it was 7:00pm but we haven't finished it. Reluctantly I went back and put the rest of the work for Janet and Michael.
The project ask us to choose one people to interview about some information ofYau Ma Tei. My group chose to ask for the land pollution. This kind of project is just like the project I have done in the Chinese New Year holiday which was about the Central Kowloon Route. It asked us to have an interview with the people who would be affected from the Central Kowloon Route and my group chose to ask the people who worked in Jade Market. But they were very rude to us and most of them refused to help us. So this time I was smarter. I chose to ask my friends who were working in the church. They were very nice to us and they were very glad to help us except they didn't know much about English. So we needed to ask him about the question in Cantonese and they answered us first. Then we wrote down his point and wrote a script in English for him and taught him how to pronounce some of the vocabularies that he did not know. We were just pretending to be a teacher. We were just like doing a drama when filming.
From this project I learnt that choosing a good time is very important. Yesterday I felt ashamed because I threw away Janet and Michael. And also, although it is the same old stuff, I learnt the most important thing in a group work. It is the esprit de corps.
Next time I should be more careful in timeliness. And I should try asking some one that I don't know to train my bravery.
