Comparing interview three to interview two and one

From my first interview to my second there was kind of similar, but my second to my third one I changed my interviewee’s country, Korea to Japan. I changed place to doing interview, first one and the third one we doing it in library, the second one I chose Atwood as the place; we ate food, and talked. From my first one to my third one, I feel my interviewee and I were getting better. Besides, I did a nice preparation in all three interviews, like question sheet, record and pens. One of my interview, I did it when we were eating so probably we had more things to chat and felt more comfortable, it is second one. The reason I chose Korean and Japanese interviewees is I got these friends by coincidence, and I am interested about Korea and Japan culture. In addition, all china, Korea and Japan is in the same culture background, I feel comfortable about it. All my interviews were going flow, because we know each other for a while. Transcribing the recorded audio portion is pretty cost me about 1 hour; I recorded it after us finishing the interview immediately like the first two times. I am not satisfied with my second one so much, the third one got better. But it is not so good compare to other American students’ work; I feel like I got many grammar mistakes and my sentences are not pretty as well. My second interview focuses less attention about interview questions on paper, compare to the other two/
From all my interviews, I learned a lot, not only in English, but also got a chance to communicate more with my international friends, to know their culture deeply. These three interviews would be one of my great experiences in US.
