2.采访的原因
3.想提的问题
A person I’d like to interview
As the saying goes “ the man is known by the company he keeps”, I have several good friends who have many advantages over me. The one who I want to interview most is Tom, one of the most excellent students in our grade. It is said that no matter how tough the exam is, he can rank first first.
As far as I am concerned, he must have some secrets for success. So I am curious about his way to succeed. Additionally, he can arrange his spare time in such a smart way that he can participate in various extracurricular activities, which can enrich his experience and go great good to his heath. By contrast, eager as I want to take part in these, I find myself always engaged in academic assignments. So the second question I want to ask is what it is that makes him always full of energy and efficiency. Last but not least, it is his popularity with both teachers and students that makes me feel amazed. He can be on good terms with everyone else and always be ready to help others. I want to figure out how he can be so influential and have positive energy.
Interviewing such a successful student, I have confidence that I will benefit a lot from his interview.
