A good way to get information for essays and

reports is to interview people who arc experts in your 【S1】______

topic or whose opinions may be interesting. Interviews

are also a good way to get a sampling of people's

opinions on various questions. Here are some

suggestions that will help you make most of a planned 【S2】______

interview:

1. If the person to be interviewed (the interviewee) is

busy, cancel an appointment in advance. 【S3】______

2. Prepare your questions before the interview so that

you make best use of your time. In preparing, think

about the topic about what the interviewer is likely 【S4】______

to know.

3. Use your questions, but don't insist in sticking to 【S5】______

them or proceeding in the order you have listed.

Often the interviewee will have important

information that was never occurred to you, or one 【S6】______

question may suggest another very useful one.

4. If you don't understand something the interviewee

has said, say politely and ask him or her to clarify it 【S7】______

or to give an example.

5. Take notes. If the interviewee goes too slowly for 【S8】______

you, ask him or her to stop for a moment, especially

if the point is important. A tape recorder lets you

avoid this problem. Therefore, be sure the 【S9】______

interviewee agrees to be taped.

6. As soon as possible after the interview, read over

your notes. They may need clarified while the topic 【S10】______

is still fresh in your mind.
