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.

My favorite countries
My interview that I am going to do after a few days will be about three countries in my favorite. I am technology person, and natural view. Every country of these three countries has something that I like. I choose three countries for my interview wich are; Oman, China, and Kuwait.
I choose Oman for several reasons to be the first contry in my interview. It has a wonderful natural city I have seen in my life. I was going over some website to read about Oman and through my reading I find “I reaffirm the necessity to give tourism a priority in the future development programme'' Their king Sultan Qaboos says(1). So, there are more that 5 million Tourists come to this city annually. Likewise, this county has some of the tombs of the prophets which interest some people.
China is the biggest country of the technology in the modern time(2). Most of its young people try to complete their education because it's difficult to get job, and that means they have ambition to develop their technology to become helpful for world. Also, they have own language which people are trying to study it right now.
Kuwait and Saudi Arabia have similarity in their culture and resources, I was going over some websites to collect information about this country and through that I found "On February 22nd, 1938, oil was discovered in the Burgan field of Kuwait"(3). people who are living in Kuwait have relationship with who are living in Saudi Arabia that is why I chose it to be third country of my favorite. If I would talk about resources ,so,Al Kuwait country has a good resource and exports of oil.
thru my reading about these three countries I found a lot of information that may help me to do a good interview with their people. I will do my best to cover most part of my interview with people who are from these countries.

Five books.
In 10/02//2012 our professor asked us to collect five books from different students about what they reaad in last class. So I am going to write the first sentence from each one.
My classmmate Elena Galkina selects the book CLOUD And CLEAR. I go throught and in page 15 I found "Realistic in terms of what you can reasonably expect to accoplish. A costly plan of action may prove to be the ideal solution in a given situation." (1) The book catch her attention may because she interests in its subjects but I do not.
(1) Morrisey, G. (April 1997, fourth ed.). Loud and Clear: How to prepare and deliver effective business and technical presentations, New York, USA: Addison-Westly Publishing, Inc.
My classmmate Mohamed L Toure selects the the book tittle " Islam Without Fear". I go through that book then in page 15 I found " With exaggerated seriousness, the prominent Islamist columnist Ahmed Bahgat reports in al Ahram of August 13, 1995, on :breaking news " from the art world." (1) He is interested on that book and me too because it talks about our religion.
(1) Raymond William Baker from the year 1942 and printed by Harvard University Press in Boston and London in 2003.
My classmmate yanjun li selects the book “Last Shot”. I go through it and I find in page 15 " Dick Weiss," he said, introducing himself to Stevie and Susan Carol" (1) he interests in this book but me neither.
John Feinstein, “Last Shot”, published by Alfred A. Knopf. In Random House, New York, 2005.
My classmmate Jonathan selects the book of tittle " How To Talk Minnesotan" and I go throught until page 15 I find "Many cooks substitute pickled herring for the hamburger and use cearm of mushroom soup instead of Cheese Whiz as actopping"(1) Actually he says its catch his attention but I feel this book so boring.

My classmmate monijesu shonibare selects the book that is tittle "NIGERIAN" so I go through that book and in page 15 I find " But it would be wrong to assume that Nigerian political parties, at the beginning of the election campaign, had definitely formulated policies for the nation to follow in world affairs". (1) she is so interesting in the book that she selects but I am not so interesting.

My classmmate Abdulmohsen Alkahtani selects the book under the tittle "Horse Thief".
