Interview Competition
Medan English Society - KGCC # 050
KGRE Interview segments with some famous Indonesian actresses
and singers are very interesting for us. They include GIGI, PADI, Marcell
and Andien. They have inspired us to carry out a very interesting activity
at our meetings which we call ‘Dare to Interview’. Most of
our members like it so much. Initially we were a bit confused who actually
deserved to be interviewed. We eventually decided that they could interview
their favourite teachers or even lecturers. And they did it in writing.
In the next meeting we welcomed them one by one to come forward to read
the results of their interviews. Wow! It was cool bananas indeed!
“The name of the lecturer who I interviewed is Ismail Marzuki.
He graduated from one of the most well known colleges in Medan. Besides
being a lecturer he also works as a computer technician for 12 companies.
He believes in life don’t ever do useless things and don’t
break your promises. As a human being he also has an ambition to get a
bright future in his life. He wants to have more than three wives. Unfortunately
until right now he never get it yet ...”

Note from KGRE:
Planning interviews is a great way to practise questioning techniques
and asking good questions. Why not get people in the club to pretend to
be someone famous. For example someone could be Megawati or Krisdayanti
or even Aussie Prime Minister Mr. John Howard. The interview is just one
part of the activity of course. Then the information can be written up
into a text for others to read. That’s what we do here at KGRE for
our radio program.

Preparing For the Future
Junior - KGCC # 011
Each year some of our members change with the new students
including the president and others. So we as members have to learn to
do everything - even perhaps be president. Every month we also hold a
Language Activity. We are going to hold this activity in the last week
of October. Another activity is to open prizes and souvenirs from KGRE
in front of the students at the Monday Flag Ceremony. It arouses the new
students to know more about KGRE and Junior in our school. Of course they
want the prizes too. Putting the KGRE poster, flyer or other interesting
information on ‘Special English Wall Magazine’ is also a great
way to promote club activities to other students.
Note from KGRE:
Clubs need to be prepared each year when members leave and move away.
Some clubs have stopped writing to KGRE recently and the reason they give
is because members who had recently left the Club were the leaders. Nobody
was ready to replace them. Be sure to have plans underway to replace the
leaders as soon as they have gone and maintain the necessary communications
with KGRE. |
