Reporter for a day: Interviewing foreigners.

Deadline: March 3^rd

Make a video of no more than 4-5 minutes. Those of you taking part in the German exchange must interview your German mate. Tell her or him that the video will be uploaded onto you tube. The rest of the students can go to Sol or surroundings of the Prado Museum where you can find many foreigners queuing for the museum and try to find someone nice to help you.

Some advice

• Work in pairs: One of you video records, the other one interviews the foreigner.
• Don’t read your questions.
• Don’t ask closed or vague questions. Give people the chance to explain themselves.
• Speak clearly and loud. Practise your questions before you start and make sure your intonation and pronunciation are the right ones.
• Introduce yourselves.

How to introduce yourself

• Option 1: Good morning, my name is .... and this is my classmate ....... We study English and we'd like to practise our English by asking you some questions. Could you please spare a few moments of your time?
• Option 2: Hi, could we ask you a few questions? We are English students at IES Las Musas School and we are doing a survey to practise our English. Can we ask you a few questions? It will only take five to ten minutes.
• Option 3: Hello, we have to interview foreigners for our English school assignment. Could you please help us by answering some questions? Nobody wants to talk to us because our English isn't perfect. Thank you so much for saving our lives.

Possible questions

• Where do you come from?
• What did you think of Spain before your visit? (Have you been deceived or not?)
• How long have you been in Spain?/ How long have you planned to stay here?
• Why are you here in Spain? Why did you choose Spain? What things did you know about Spanish life, culture, sports… before coming?
• Who are you here with?
• What places have you already been to?/ What place do you already know about?
• What do you like most of Spain (from your experience or from your previous data)?
• What is the food that you enjoyed most (or you would like to try)?
• Are Spaniards too different to the people in your country? Which way?
• What do you think about bullfighting?
• What do you miss from your country? (food, people, landscape…)
• Are you planning to stay, would you visit Spain again? Why?
• What do people think in your country about Spain?
• Would you live here? Why? 

Finish the interview thanking your interviewees for taking part in the survey.
