Mi Conversacion de Ashley
1a. I learned that Ashley was from Puerto Rico and that some of her family lived there. I could have asked what she liked about Puerto Rico and if she wants to go back there. However, she did say that she liked where she lives now. Next time I’m going to focus on getting more information about the person’s backround. Hopefully I will improve on this. I think that this aspect of the project was my weakest. I just was asking basic questions but I have to get more in depth.
2a. Ashley and I didn’t really discuss anything pertaining to the goals we have in school. I did find out that she like math and was interested in that. She also said that she likes Hunterdon Central. Personally I think that I worked towards my goals better because I kept the conversation going and asked follow up questions. Also I didn’t say like or um that much if at all. Hopefully I am improving.
3a. I thought I asked follow up questions really well. When I heard that Ashley wanted a laptop for Christmas I asked her if she wanted a Mac or a PC. I also asked her a lot of follow up questions pertaining to the holidays. Unfortunately when I asked a question Ashley gave me a lot of information at once so it was hard to think of follow up questions for answers when she already gave me the information.
b. I think that I should try to go slower and take a second to think before I say something. In one case I accidentally said me llamo Hunterdon Central instead of me gusta Hunterdon Central. Thankfully I caught myself and apologized and continued on. I would like to be able to ask more follow up questions and keep the conversation going more smoothly.
