                I learned two things of the interview through last class. First of all, I got more confidence to speak English. At first, I was nervous because I thought nobody would cooperated with our questionnaire, owing to my poor English. However, I would spoken clear English, so thanks to the activity, I 'm not afraid of using English now. Another one is that Kiwi students and International students were quite kind of me. When I asked them, "Can I ask you a few questions about job seeking?" Then most students answered, "Yes, of course." When I heard that, I was impressed with them because in the case of Japan, nobody can stop in front of me to answer several questions. Therefore, The personality of Kiwis is mild, I think.
