Part6: Provide a short report about the country and culture of your interviewee
South Korea is located in East Asia, on the southern half of the Korean Peninsula. There is China to the west, Japan to the east, and North Korea to the north. Its capital is Seoul.
Government：Just like many democracies, “South Korea's government is divided into three branches: executive, judicial, and legislative.” [1]
History：Korea was founded in 2333 BCE by Dangun. On Jun.25th 1950, North Korea tried to unify the country by military force which lead to the Korean War, and it was ended in 1953.
Foreign relationship: Historically, Korea used to have relatively close relations with the Republic of China. “Before the formation of South Korea, Korean independence fighters worked with Chinese soldiers during the Japanese occupation.” [2]
Geography and Climate: South Korea locates in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. It has a humid continental climate and a humid subtropical climate, and is affected by the East Asian monsoon
Economy: “South Korea had the world's second-fastest growing economy from 1960 to 1990.”[3] Korea's development during this time was called the Miracle on the Han River, and South Korea was also one of the Four Asian Tigers. “South Korea has a high-tech infrastructure, with the world's highest broadband internet access per capita, and the fastest average Internet connections.” [4]
Religion: Less than half of South Koreans have no religious beliefs. Those who do are mostly Christian or Buddhist. Other religions include Islam and various new religious movements such as Jeungism, Daesunism, Cheondoism and Wonbuddhism.
Culture: Besides domestic consumption, South Korean like televised drama, films, and popular music, also generates significant exports to various parts of the world. This phenomenon, often called "Hallyu" or the "Korean Wave", has influenced many countries in Asia and other parts of the world.
Korean cuisine is largely based on rice, noodles, tofu, vegetables, fish and meats. Traditional Korean meals usually include side dishes, banchan (반찬), which accompany steam-cooked short-grain rice. Every meal is accompanied by numerous banchan. Kimchi, a fermented, usually spicy vegetable dish is also commonly served at every meal and is one of the best known Korean dishes.

For this second interview, my friend give me the student’s phone number and let me contact with her myself. Then I call her to find a time and a place to meet, and we finally choose to do it in the place where she lives.

When she talked about the life in America, she did mentioned a lot about how nice the people are here, and she enjoyed the life here. She would like to stay here if she has this chance after one year exchange. I actually feel the same way about this. Most of the people in Asia are kind of conservative and don’t talk to each other every much, especially between strangers. In the U.S, at least in St.Cloud, it’s totally different.

Part2: How did you approach people, how did you secure three for interviews?
Actually, It didn’t take me muck time on this. I have some good Korean friends so that I just asked them to introduce some new Korean students to me.
At the first time, my friend brought three of her friends to me and we had a small nice talk in library. Since my friend was there, we were not in such an awkward position.
After that, I started to do the interview one by one.
Part3: When, where, and how did you conduct the interview?
At the first time, on Oct.17th, my friend brought her three friends and we met in the library. It was a quite comfortable small talk. I explained the reason I wanted to ask them for help and introduced myself to all of them.
During my first interview, I choose to do it in the little theater in Atwood. It was on Oct.19th. I choose little theater because it is quite a big comfortable room; I used to take a nap between classes. I also feel like it’s not a good idea to stay alone with the interviewee because you are not so familiar with each other.

Part5: Describe the interview process from your vantage point. Was there any part that impressed you, moved you, gave pause to you?
Actually, during the first interview, we both are kind of nervous so that we didn’t really talk a lot. But when she talked about homesick problem, I could feel that she was really missing her family. At that moment, I was touched because I am also an international student here and I couldn’t be able to see my parents and friends for a long time. But the good thing for her is that she is going back to her hometown very soon, and I can see how excited she is now.
Part6: Provide a short report about the country and culture of your interviewee
South Korea is located in East Asia, on the southern half of the Korean Peninsula. There is China to the west, Japan to the east, and North Korea to the north. Its capital is Seoul.
Government：Just like many democracies, “South Korea's government is divided into three branches: executive, judicial, and legislative.” [1]
History：Korea was founded in 2333 BCE by Dangun. On Jun.25th 1950, North Korea tried to unify the country by military force which lead to the Korean War, and it was ended in 1953.
Foreign relationship: Historically, Korea used to have relatively close relations with the Republic of China. “Before the formation of South Korea, Korean independence fighters worked with Chinese soldiers during the Japanese occupation.” [2]
Geography and Climate: South Korea locates in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. It has a humid continental climate and a humid subtropical climate, and is affected by the East Asian monsoon
Economy: “South Korea had the world's second-fastest growing economy from 1960 to 1990.”[3] Korea's development during this time was called the Miracle on the Han River, and South Korea was also one of the Four Asian Tigers. “South Korea has a high-tech infrastructure, with the world's highest broadband internet access per capita, and the fastest average Internet connections.” [4]
Religion: Less than half of South Koreans have no religious beliefs. Those who do are mostly Christian or Buddhist. Other religions include Islam and various new religious movements such as Jeungism, Daesunism, Cheondoism and Wonbuddhism.
Culture: Besides domestic consumption, South Korean like televised drama, films, and popular music, also generates significant exports to various parts of the world. This phenomenon, often called "Hallyu" or the "Korean Wave", has influenced many countries in Asia and other parts of the world.
Korean cuisine is largely based on rice, noodles, tofu, vegetables, fish and meats. Traditional Korean meals usually include side dishes, banchan (반찬), which accompany steam-cooked short-grain rice.

Make sure that you maintain a working bibliography
A working bibliography is a collection of all of the sources that you decide to consult throughout the process of researching and writing your paper.
· This collection will contain both materials that you use in your final paper and also ones that you do not. At the end or your paper you will only put the ones that you used into your final works cited.
· Your information should contain information copied from books, the web, and any other sources that you may use.
When searching for bibliographic information on a web page you may have to dig a little to find it.
· Some key things that you really want to try and find are the author’s name, the date of publication, and the name of the sponsoring organization.
· Do not assume that the information is not there just because you don’t see it right away.
As you collect all of your sources you want to make sure that you keep them as organized as possible.
· A good way to do this is to print off everything that you get off of the internet and to make photo copies of all the hard copy sources that you use.
· By doing this you can separate your sources into different categories to follow your outline and then you can also highlight and color-coat them.
Managing information: avoiding plagiarism
Main idea: As you take notes, avoid unintentional plagiarism
Be careful not to borrow language from your sources. Even if you half-copy the author’s sentences-either by mixing the author’s phrases with your own without quotation marks or by plugging your synonyms into the author’s sentence structure.
There are three kinds of note taking: summarizing, paraphrasing, and quoting.
(Put quotation marks around any text)
1. Summarizing without plagiarizing
A summary condenses in formation, perhaps reducing a chapter to a short paragraph to a single sentence. If you use phrases from the source, put them in quotation marks.
2. Paraphrasing without plagiarizing
A paraphrase is written in your own words, but whereas a summary reports significant information in fewer words than the source. Use quotation marks if you retain occasional choice phrases from the source.
3. Using quotation marks to avoid plagiarizing
A quotation consists of the exact words from a source. Copy the words of your source exactly, including punctuation and capitalization.
