4.0 Description of the interviewee’s career

According to Mr. Wong, the vision of his life is he like teaching very much

and he think this is the something like inborn interest. He would like to spend the

rest of his life in teaching as long as he live, and if he can. Then , he want continue

teaching and the vision of his life is to educate more children, more young people

and to guide them toward the correct ways and become good citizens in Malaysia.

Mr. Wong had taught for many years in secondary school, almost 11 years

and he switched became to a lecturer in teacher training college. So, he had taught

almost11 years in secondary school and the other 17 years as lecturer in teacher

training college. That means, he had teaching in 3 different places, Maktab

Perguruan Lebuk Pantai, Kuala Lumpur as a Chinese lecturer, Maktab Perguruan

Kinta, Ipoh for half year and then the rest of about 10 years he taught in another

teacher teaching college. So, all together his teaching life was 28 years.

After Mr. Wong retired in the end of June 2007, he rest more than half of

year, is about 9 months. Then, he became relief teacher in 2008 until he got the

offer and the contract became a lecturer in UPSI for 2 years and his contract is

from 2008 December to 2010 December. So, hopefully Mr. Wong can continued

his job in UPSI.

The factors that contributed Mr. Wong to be a lecturer is he had many

interest in this job. He like to teach. He think that it is part of his life and he like to

talk. He like to input his knowledge to young people, to share with them, let them

know about the Chinese, Mandarin, History and everything.

The biggest challenge when Mr. Wong start off as a lecturer is because the

students came from different family background, different educational background,

different level of profession in Chinese language, so he found that there is great

differences among the level of usage of Chinese language because he was teaching

in Chinese language courses. For Mr. Wong, some of the students well-prepared,

they are good profession in the language, so for them should not be the problem.

But, some of them who are not good profession in language, they normally difficult

understand what was Mr. Wong taught, especially during the phonetic course.

Most of them, they do not have the good foundation, good background, good sound

4

knowledge in phonetic. So, for them, is a problem when they face the problem in

understanding, in pronunciation, in writing and others. So, this is the greatest

challenges for Mr. Wong in teaching. Students came from different background,

and they use different dialet, like Hokkien, Hakka. So, he had to spend a lot of time

to driving them in daily communiciation.

The others challenges that Mr. Wong faces is students’ attitude towards

study. Some of them, they are not so keen because this course are not their first

opinion. Even though for some of them never apply for this course. But, they are

given this course, so they are show not any interest and they just want to get the

degree and the job. This is not their main interest to become a Chinese language

teacher. So, Mr. Wong think that their attitude and their concept should be change

by guiding them towards the right thinking. That means, they want to be a good

teacher, they have to develop some interest in this course and this subject and also

hard work to do everything. They should be well-prepared, not only for the

examination or presentation and assignments, they should be prepare everythin,set

up their mind and hardworking.

According to Mr. Wong, he always prepared himself to face up the

challenges. He knows that he have to give himself time and have to be very

preparation to teach the students. He have to full patient to guard them, correct their

mistakes full-heartly and giving them different exercises, giving them a lot of

“humour” during the lesson so that the lesson become more interesting, not so

boring. Sometime he makes joke with his students, sometime he laughs with them.

So, the class become more lively. When the class become more lively, the cordial

relationship between lecturer and the students should be very much advanced. He

think that is the way he curb this problem.

To change the students’ mind set, he always talk to them sometimes whether

casually or maybe outside the classroom to give them some peck talk, comfort

them, give some advise. So that they really take their study serious and prepared

themselves well to become a good secondary school teacher in the future.

The greatest strength in Mr. Wong will be can talk to the student, can

communicate with them and also can tolerance except certain important thing. He

5

like to teach the class which is reactive, good response, not talk and talk only. This

is because he don’t like just he give the students everything and then they just listen

and they don’t response. Mr. Wong can do quite well in this sense that he can

communicate with students, can talk to them and don’t show his angry face in front

of the students. All this is because of helping them, helping them to understand the

lesson, to make the lesson more interesting and also guard them along the way.

What is the most difficult to guard them because he know that some of them cannot

follow the lesson. So, he will ask them what are the questions they do not

understand? What area they could not understand? In that way, he get the response

from the students. In this case, it help solving a lot of his problem. So, this is his

greatest strength.

Besides that, he is very responsible. He hope that his students will do well

in the exam and pass with flying colour. In order to achieve that, he prepared

himself improve his intelligent strength to much advanced. He also like the students

to do revision and prepared before he start the lesson.

In his opinion, he is a bit soft-hearted in some case. When the student can’t

finish their assignment in time, they always ask for permission to give them more

time. That means they will pass up their assignment more later. He always allowed

them to do so because of soft-hearted. And then because of that, sometime he

cannot key in the marks in time. So, he think that this is his weak point even

thought maybe this is his strong point in some student’s heart.

If some of the student don’t attend to his class without telling him. He will

very angry. In his opinion, he thinks that if a student absent themselves without

inform you or without telling you in advance, this is not respect to the lecturer. So,

he think anybody also will get angry. So, this is what Mr. Wong very particular

with. This is because he don’t want himself to get angry and show the angry though

the students.

The best part of being an educator of Mr. Wong Han Chong is education.

For the Mr. Wong think, educator is very best word which cannot wish teaching for

educate a person. Educating a person mean a take situation for changing behavior is

valuate in life and also phylosophy of teaching. Mr. Wong is compulsory on the

6

part in the government, officery servive and the best part of him is a educating

because not only teach student but educate them. There are student is very hardfull

study and cannot study, this is very important in their life. For the best on their life

when to listen a good adviser of people and good moral value the person on their

life. Mr. Wong think, he will know to request when so many student under him or

under teaching get closed and open the closing under him. So, he has founded while

be a teacher or educator. Mr. Wong think also, he necessary him dream of

becoming a teacher was kuck fortune a teaching after STPM to become a teacher in

their future and then be a decision to be become a teacher was born delivarded so

when he succesfully in come started in university so he got ready to become a

teacher. Mr. Wong also have a memory of teaching as a carier. He was given the

best classes, medium and the last classes. He not disappointed if student is not

interesting with their academic. So actually that one also with to pushing to thing to

of wave to improve the live and also open he mind be an educator especially

comment. Mr. Wong think also, student cannot which tent to IQ, EQ and then who

don’t want study upon thing on your class and noisy a lot of problem.

After that, Mr. wong also gives a opinion about the most important thing

that expect to be a good educators. Mr. Wong think to be a good educator must be

enrounder. Firstly, we must put yourself down to the land that mean must not show

with your subject, as teacher must listen 100 percentages for student respect to our

carrier as a teacher. Even though that, a democration line should be two line is a

joke with them and serious while a teach. Two online a location way are to be

expitching like go a bit. Thirdly, we must good moral value for role model to

student. The student will respect when have a good moral value. Fourly, we should

always seeking knowledge for life long education. We must read a newspaper,

article and everything to another to improve your knowledge. Student will respect

because you are rich a knowledgeable. Fively, we must good personality so we are

can communicate people the way we are can handle ourself, behalf and teaching.

Other than that, Mr. Wong also gives advice for people who dream to be a

good educator and yet find it hard to make the leap. Mr Wong should give advice

for young people want to be nature high work when go to the university. Mr Wong

7

also excel yourself by taking part a cocuriculum, port and then Personal

Releationship (PRO) to be good and also develop depent of education. Mr. Wong

think also that education is very important and should be sharing your knowledge to

people because other people will share our opinion about knowledge so we can

improve knowledge will be to correct. After that, we must show our creatibility so

student will come to you for sharing a problem.

According to Mr. Wong, the vision of philosophy of education must train

teach the hole person from all angle where it involves the knowledge, character,

overcome problem, independent and make choices. Firstly, educators should train a

student with knowledge. So, the student can become a good knowledge person

especially in academic study. Secondly, student must have a good character. They

can become a good citizen and contribute his skill to the society for a benefit of the

country, people, family and himself. Thirdly, student should know how to

overcome the problem. This is because everyone have a problem so they should

train or know how to stop the problem they have.

Fourthly, student also should train them to be independent. They must

know how to independent when living in particular place. Lastly, student should

know how to make the right decision. They cannot make a wrong decision when

they have a lot of choices such as academy study, future life, your partner or

whatever this. He also said that the current education system is examination-

oriented. This situation actually is not suitable for student because they should

know not all of student love to read. Maybe, for education system this situation is

easy for them to solve the education problem. So, according to Mr. Wong, the

education system must be change and must add the new vision in the future to be

more open-minded and look at globally that can give exposure not only in small

space.

In his opinion, because the education system to refer exam-oriented so all

of people evaluate the student on academic study. According to his opinion, some

student are not good in terms of academics but they better in terms of hangs on

knowledge, in doing work, in doing practical. This situation shows they did not like

writing, answering question, remembering and so on. But the student love to think

8

about skills work and this depends on the use of their left brain and right brain.

Some of student, use more right brain where it is better to language art while

student who use left brain their more of analatical or mathematic is very good and

they also very creative and have a high IQ.

So, according to his for evaluate student base on academic performance

there is not good because in our present education system will attract student

entering university base on the 90% academic study and 10% on cocuriculum. Mr.

Wong said, in future life the minister should change the way learning in schools

with the assignment not only depend on 100% examination as PMR, SPM and

STPM. Learning in school must be the same with learning in university like in this

university depends on 60% base on assignment and 40% base on final exam. So,

the student not just back on exam because maybe when they back on exam no

assignment they will get failed. When they have a assignment, the task can help

them to score a mark.

Besides that, according to Mr. Wong in future life school should follow

this university learning. Such as, maybe school make a 50% base on final exam and

50% base on assignment. This situation can produce student to work up in group

and learning something new like presentation, find the information and so on. For

50% base on final exam can help them to reduce their tension and also it will help

them to the revision with easy. This is a good way to help student from do the

mistake and they will get the good result. So, to evaluate the student base on

academic performance is not good and difficult to student.

Umi : Thank you and I give the another questions to my friends.

Teo : First at all, good evening to Mr.Wong. I would want to ask what is the

vision of Mr.Wong’s life?

Mr. Wong : Vision of my life ?

Teo : Yes.

Mr. Wong : I think I like teaching very much and the something like inborn interest.

And I would like to spend the rest of my life in teaching as long as I live,

and if I can. Then , if I still to work, I want continue teaching and the

vision of my life is to educate more children, more young people and to

guide them toward the correct ways and become good citizens in

Malaysia.

Teo : So, what is the factors contributed you to be a lecturer?

Mr. Wong : I think after teaching for many years in secondary school, almost 11

years and I switch become to a lecturer in teacher training college. So,

11 years in secondary school and the other 17 years as lecturer in teacher

11

training college. So, I have teaching in 3 different places, nombor one is

Maktab Perguruan Lebuk Pantai, Kuala Lumpur as a Chinese lecturer.

Second, is Maktab Perguruan Kinta, Ipoh. I work at there for half of a

year and then the rest of about 10 years I teaching in another teacher

teaching college. So, all together my teaching life is 28 years. After I

retire in the end of June 2007, then I rest for about half or year, is more

than half of year, is about 9 months. Then, I become relief teacher in

2008 until I got the offer and the contract become a lecturer in UPSI for

2 years and means that my contract is from 2008 December to 2010

December. So, hopefully I can continue my job in UPSI. The main

reason why I want to become a lecturer is I have many interest in this

job. I like to teaching. It is part of my life and I like to talk. I like to

input my knowledge to young people, to share with them, let them know

about the Chinese, Mandarin, History and everything.

Teo : Then, what is the biggest challenge when you start off as a lecturer?

Mr. Wong : You means lecturer?

Teo : Yes.

Mr. Wong : I think the greatest challenge to me is because the students came from

different family background, different educational background, different

level of profession in Chinese language, so I found that there is great

differences among the level of usage of Chinese language because I’m

teaching in Chinese language courses. Some of the students well-

prepared, they are good profession in the language, so for them

shouldn’t be the problem. But, some of them who are not good

profession in language, I found that they difficult understand what I’m

teaching, especially during the phonetic course. Most of them, they do

not have the good foundation, good background, good sound knowledge

12

in phonetic. So, for them, is the problems when they face the problem in

understanding, in pronunciation, in writing and others. So, I think this is

the greatest challenges. Students came from different background, and

they use different dialect, like Hokkien, Hakka. So, I spend a lot of time

to driving them in daily communication.

Teo : Are they have any others challenges that Mr. Wong faces?

Mr. Wong : For the second challenges that I face is students’ attitude towards study.

Some of them, they are not so keen because they are not their first

option, even though for some of them never apply for this course. But,

they are given this course, so they are show not any interest and they just

want to get the degree and the job. This is not their main interest to

become a Chinese language teacher. So, I think that their attitude and

their concept should be change by guiding them towards the right

thinking. That means, they want to be a good teacher, they have to

develop some interest in this course and this subject and hard work to do

everything. They should be well-prepared, not only for the examination

or presentation and assignments, they should be prepare everything. Set

up their mind and hard work.

Teo : Thanks Mr. Wong for answering my questions. Now, I will pass to my

friend to continue questioning.

Yun Jing : May I know how did you work through these challenges?

Mr. Wong : Basically I prepared myself, means I know that I have to face up the

challenges. I know that I have to give myself time and I have to be very

preparation to teach them. I have to full patient to guard them, correct their

mistakes full-heartly and giving them different exercises, giving them a lot

of “humour” during the lesson so that the lesson become more interesting,

13

not so boring. Sometime I make joke with them, sometime I laugh with

them. So, the class become more lively. When the class become more

lively, I think the cordial relationship between lecturer and the student

should be very much advanced. I think that is the way how I curb this

problem. To change the mind set, I have to talk to them sometimes

whether casually or maybe outside the classroom to give them some peck

talk, comfort them, give some advise. So that they really take their study

serious and prepared themselves well to become a good secondary school

teacher in the future. So, this basically how I take of the problem.

Yun Jing : What do you consider to be one of your greatest strengths?

Mr. Wong : I think the greatest strength in my life will be can talk to the student, can

communicate with them and also can tolerance, of course to the certain

thing we can’t. I like to teach the class which is reactive, good response,

not talk and talk only. I don’t like. I don’t like just I give them

everything and then they just listen and they don’t response. I think that I

can do quite well in this sense that I can communicate with student, I can

talk to them, I don’t show my angry face. All this is because of helping

them, helping them to understand the lesson, to make the lesson more

interesting and also guard them along the way. What is the most difficult

I guard them, I know that some of them cannot follow the lesson. So, I

will ask them what are the questions they do not understand? What area

they could not understand? In that sense I get the response. In this case, it

help solving a lot of my problem. I think that is my greatest strength.

And I think I am very responsible. I do hope that my student will do well

in the exam and pass with flying colour. In order to achieve that, I

prepared myself improve my intelligent strength and much advanced. I

also like the students to read whatever thing I like them to do before I

teach the lesson, before I start the lesson.

14

Yun Jing : And what do you consider to be one of your greatest weaknesses?

Mr. Wong : I think sometimes I’m a bit soft-hearted. When the student can’t finish

their assignment in time, they always ask for permission to lend time, to

give them more time. That means they will pass up their assignment more

later. If I allowed them, I always give allowance to them. And then

because of that, sometime I cannot key in the marks in time and delay it.

So, I think this is my weak point. It’s also my strong point and also my

weak point.

If some of the student don’t attend to the class, my class, they just

“ponteng” without telling me. I will very angry. I think to anybody this is

normal because human being. Because if a student absent themselves

without inform you or without telling you in advance. I think anybody

also get angry. So, sometime I’m very particular about this thing. I don’t

want myself and then I will be very angry. That will be my weak point, is

it?

Yun Jing : Thank you Mr. Wong. Now I pass the next question to my friends.

Siti Munira : What is the best part of being an educator for you?

Mr. Wong : Education is the best part, educator is very best word we cannot wish

teaching we want educate a person, that mean not wish a teaching the best

part in knowledge so educating a person mean a take situation changing

behavior my pact is valuate in life and also philosophy of teaching and

then i think the best educator to me, would be I have not regret for

changing in my hold life for teaching student so far I have not kurt any

one on life student perfect so many classes so many student maybe 300,

200 student on my hold teaching carrier, I think not of them, back gined,

class edit and the their almost good citizen the most of them event have

PHD, to become a doctor, to become be engineering can also perfectual in

the life in one minute did I have. I deal compulsory on the part of you on

the government, officery servive or during young people that I think that

best part of me is educating because not only teach them but I also educate

15

them. A person very study or cannot study, this is not very important in

their life they must should follow their life. The best on their life and to

listen good advisers of people which scartion and then all this good moral

value the person on their life. I think the best part of educating is a so

many children, get closed and open the closing so many children under

me, under my teaching, so I have know request I founded while be a

teacher be a educator. I think you can think which I necessary my dream

of becoming a teacher was kuck fortune a teaching after of my STPM I

waiting become a teacher of my future and then be a decision to be

become a teacher was born delivarded so when I was succesfully in come

started in university so I got ready are decided there are became a teacher.

If I was not given change to become Cambridge teacher maybe I lanted

want be lecturer educator lecturer. I always have a memory of teaching of

course my teaching carrier. I do have make some problem like some of

student if not interested in their study. I was given the best classes also the

medium classes. So when I was given the last classes in the formal. They

have taken any same I told what talk them, they have not interest in study

there not direction in their life, wanted, wanted. I was not be a

disappointed, so actually that one also people with to pushing to thing to

of wave to improve the live and also open my mind that my eye that be an

educator a teacher is not their easy especially comment. Men came of

them not pushing then easily of pushing that expression. They cannot

which tent passion student to IQ, EQ and then who don’t want study upon

thing on your class and noisy then a lot problem, we got two think about.

So be are not perfect for edicting look their location you would then. I

would long my carrier a teacher until 28 years, I teaching a carrier. I also

be continue a teacher.

Siti Munira : In your opinion, what’s the most important thing you expect to be a good

educators?

16

Mr. Wong :I think to be a good educator you must be rounder . First, you must put

yourself down to the land that mean you took must not show you are

subject, you are teacher you must listen to me 100 percentage of course

student should respect a teacher. Secondly, I think the relationship which

a very friendly, very closed among teacher with student. Even though that,

a democratic line but when student look see you so serious they cannot

come to you. We so jokevial and always laugh that they are bully you, so

I think that you have two online you must know when two online, you can

joke with them but you don’t like them apart overhead. So I think two

online a location way you are to be expitcing you like go a bit and then

you are looked a bit, put back a train. I think mantain are sudden level you

must know when to changing a bit land when to go back to bit that very

important criteria. Third, you must good moral value, you should good

cover your student. If you not showing good moral value, the way you

doneting, the way you coolting, the behavior is not to good, not the

obedient, not the discipline, they not comfortable like that. Of course, they

are not come to you because you not bad. Fourth, you should always

seeking knowledge you should be lifelong education. You have got to

read, to newspaper, you got read article, you got read everything to

another to improve your knowledge. Student will respect you because they

know that task do knowledge not necessary that this optimistic you feel

also of side of feel so that you push yourself very knowledgeable and

student will respect you. Fifth, good personality, you can communicate

people the way you will handle yourself, have a behalf, have you are

teaching. Personality teacher, you must be very strong more, very

pleasant, very presentable, everybody looked you very look up upon you,

they know came to you, approchable, officetable, account of personality,

student can respect you.

Siti Munira : Any advice for people who dream to be a good educator and yet find it

hard to make the leap?

17

Mr. Wong : I should gives for young people want to be nature feel to be high work

hard and when you are under university. Secondly, excel yourself by

taking part a curriculum, port and then PRO personal relationship to be

good can also develop depend of education. If you want be a teacher you

have to develop cannot search result lot strong designer to teach to impact

knowledge to the young. If you are doctor, PHD but you are not share a

people, I think is not good educating. You should be sharing your

knowledge, by sharing knowledge you will combine. So people can

comment about you and you can improve to be a correct. Doesn’t mean

that say, I not PHD model, you have a master, my knowledge about hold

so not by sharing. Somebody ask to you question then you do not know

the answer and then you feel you that moral life, be leader so that good to

you because you know you good something but not interesting, nobody is

perfect so that kind of offer feeling of reactional I think should is complete

to be creatable. Of course you must right, you must sent speech, taking to

them and of course leadership. You must show your creatibility, if student

got of you to share problem, you can help them. And of course you must

to be a very sensial helping of student.

Siti Azlina : In your opinion, what is the vision of education?

Mr. Wong : I think in ‘Falsafah Pendidikan Negara’, the vision of education should

be to train or to teach the hold person ‘insan yang menyeluruh’. Hold

person mean from all angle. Number one is knowledge. Educator should

train a student with a knowledge. So, that he become a good

knowledgeable person especially in academic study. Number two, will be

to more the person good character. So that, when he comes up to the

society he can a become a good citizen and contribute his skill and also

this work to the society for a benefit of the country, for a benefit of the

people, for a benefit of the family and himself.

18

Number three, will be or should know how to overcome problem

participle, sub problem participle. I think, everybody in this world based a

lot of problem in our daily life, everyday life. One week of the other group

have a problem. They should be train how to stopped problem by them. Of

course, not the young people or not the young kids. Started for youngster,

young people, for adult. I think, they should be thought, they should train

how to stop this problem because its that do know how to stop that

problem then he or she will create problem to be a family member. They

will awesome to stopped problem to young very dependent on others. So,

you should train them to be independent. Of course, whatever decision

them make should be wide with full of term. If they make a wrong

decision they can not reflect, they have to face their contribute.

‘Katakanlah ada pilihan’ a lot of choices, maybe for academy study, future

life, your partner, whatever this. So, they should know quite well that any

decision their make should be their on live, they cannot blink people. I

think, know this our education system is a still very-very examination

orientate. Then, it is not flow a student, it just book work. Of course, not

everybody. Some of them their catching book work and then, they come to

benifazing you problem that to how to overcome the problem. So, there is

the vision of our addition system in the future, should train and to be open

minded then also look at globally. Five factor. Not only seen that not show

of their hole, their family, not only that self..must along of exposed.

Siti Azlina : What is your view to the phenomenon that many people evaluate student

base on their academic performance?

Mr.Wong : Actually this question both sound to the vision that our academic study

quite examination orientate. So, everybody look at people or the evaluate

people on the academic performance. So, my opinion will be a sound

student their not so good academically but their good in other thing for

example in hangs on knowledge in doing work, in doing practical their

19

good but they not good in academic study. That means when come so

writing, when come so answering question, when come so remembering

they can not or analysing thinking but when doing think skill work their

good, so it is desert weather their born right brain or left brain. Some of us

born right brain they mean their more powerful with a good act languages.

If those people who one left brain, their more of analatical, mathematic is

very good and some people are born very creative, some people born IQ

very high. So, I think that the evaluate a person base on academic

performance there is not very justify, not so good. Of course, in our

present education system will come to attract into university popularity

base on the 90% base on academic performance and 10% base on your

curriculum. I think maybe in the future, the minister or they daily life that.

So, they have change in the future that the school basic with a assignment

should be a think into contraction how many person and not 100% base on

final exam. There is sitting the final exam in SPM, PMR or STPM. It

deserve like our university maybe 60 or 40. 60% of assignment and 40%

of final exam. So, we don’t just back on one exam. If u back of one exam,

no assignment maybe you just learn to failed, so twice student. So, will

give 60% of assignment so that the student will face up their the task by

doing the different assignment and then they can produce good work. It

can help them score a mark or rather them just read, read for what final

exam that said. I think, in the future school should follow this kind of that,

maybe 50/50. 50% assignment which the student got the do contribute

envantually or group of both of them and then that is consider 50% of the

final mark and another 50% person will be from final exam. So, in this

sense then the reduce that student tension and also it will help them to the

revision and do the work to are the hole course not only back final exam.

Only back one final exam, I think that is very difficult. If that they are

person is good to are the hole peer but one she or he is sitting of the finally

exam is sudden mistake and he will good or he will pass. Evaluate a

person base on poor perfect academic performance, I think that is very-

20

very should be or not fearful but before any the mistake education

preliminary good base of representative so it is skill at a performer at the

move.

Siti Azlina : Thanks a lot to Mr.Wong for cooperate with us and share your experience,

so I think until here our interview today. Again, thanks Mr. Wong.

Mr. Wong : Okay, thanks.

6.0 Reflections

After doing this interview, we become more understand about Mr. Wong. We

understand what is his desire to his student, the problem that Mr. Wong faces in his

life as a lecturer and also the ways he face all this challenges.

From the ways he face the problems and the attitude he never give up to the

students and his ambition, we know that he is a good educator. Actually we think

that maybe Mr. Wong are really good in communication with his students, but his

greatest strength will be his never give up characteristic in finishing his work as an

educator. Therefore, we hope that his student can continue his spirit in education

someday to become a good educator same like him.

Firstly, after receiving assignments from lecturers EC, we have been given

assignments to interview someone who is successful and has the ideal personality.

Each group is given 5 members of which we are given the opportunity to select

members of our group. Then we have a group discussion to make the first selection

of who we should interview. Prior to that, we have been asked to prepare some

questions to the person who will be our choice in our task. This question will be

given to each member of the group so that each person involved in this interview

session. Finally we have found someone suitable and meet the criteria we look for

our task, our group made an appointment with him and we obtain the appropriate

time and place for this interview session was held.

At the time that has been promised, we all went to his office in the Faculty of

Languages for the interview session. Once he reached the office, we ask permission

from him to take photo with him. Then we start our interview session was to serve as

reference material in our tasks. Interview session was held with the first question and

the next begins by our group members, Umi, Teo, Jing, Munira and finally by the

Azlina.

After the interview session is complete, we divide the tasks according to the

criteria required in our task. We work in preparing this task. We are very pleased
