Challenges and benefits of interviewing an international student (or an US student)

 Everyone has to choose a country that he has ability to findinternational students to get answers on his/her questions. in the modern time, it is easy to find international student anywhere you go but difficult to find a person who gives you a correct answers on your question. As we know there are many things a person  looks in his/her interview of other people. Actually, I went through the internet to read about this subject and there was sentence caught my attention " If some basic  guidelines  are followed  and  combined  with  practice, the  craft  of  interviewing  can  become  an  art"(1) Yes It could be art in some day as what this writer says. There are more benefits than challenge of doing interview with international students.

     First of all I would like to talk about the benefits of interview. It is awesome way to do interview with people to learn about their cultures. As we have special culture other people would like to know about it, we also try to know others people cultures and traditional. Second, Achieving ways to be a success person  of asking other people who have experience. Asking international students about their food and what is the main meal for his/her country.the reason that I would like to know about their main meal is to invite some interviewees to share that sometimes. It is better to ask about his or her goals after his/her graduates to know what some goals better for your future.

  Even though there are many benefits of the interview also, there are some challenge of that between a person and his/her interviewees. We do not forget that some student have been studying English language for a year or less than that and it is difficult to understuand much about using words and verb tens in their speack.Indeed, Some people do not have experiense to deal with these student and they do not know how they can explain more easyer for international students to understand the main point of the question. Of course in the United States of America is not difficult to find internastional students from some countries but if I think about the country that I chose for my interview which is Oman, I would say there just a few students in the U.S in the separates area of this country.

In conclusion, doing interview with international students could be challenge and benefits for a person who likes to do it. I say challenge because it is difficult to find international sometimes, misunderstanding between interviewees in some points, and because English language is second language students do not have many words they have known. Also, It has benefits such as learning about a person's family, hehavior, goals, and his culture and traditional. Finaly, I would recommend people to do like that even who are from The United States of America to know about other people cultures.
