Interview Project

In this project, firstly I and my friend Sultan Karaduman have chosen an interview broadcast. We have listened it happily. The interviewer is Mark Lawson and the interviewee is Emma Watson. We really love Emma Watson with my friend Sultan. We like also watching her films. In the interview, Emma Watson talks to Mark Lawson about Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince. It was an enjoyable process for us.

Click here to listen to the interview. 

Harry Potter and Half-Blood Prince is the sixth book in the Potter franchise and Emma Watson reflects on ten years of playing Hermione Granger. During the interview Mark Lawson asks questions and Emma Watson answer them.

At the beginning, Emma Watson says that she was really big fun of the books before she was a part of the films and she looked the books from the funs perspective before from a Hermione perspective. Contrary to the previous films Hermione was quite in the background in her third film and she was unhappy with being so. But in the last film, she is much part of the action.

Then she mentions to have these films that would be in the end going back. She says that it was amazing to look back and she had been part of eight big big big films. She adds that she was so proud that it felt like a real accomplishment. After that, she talks about that people got embarrass sometimes when the parents got at the home videos from one day we’re young and how she found the earlier ones to look at. But she says that she actually found the earlier ones easier to watch because she was able to touch herself from her younger self and she felt as if she was watching someone different on the screen when she was nine or ten years old.

Lastly, she mentions that there was a lot of talk about child stars and the moments when she just thought outside people standing with pictures and hoping she and Daniel would walk through was too weird. Yes, it was very weird experience. But actually she liked that the people had been around them. They had really treated them like kids, not movie stars. There was really no part following it and no group in the states. That was very unique experience and also.

If we were the interviewer, we would like to ask to her:

Has working on the films affected your schoolwork?

What's the best and worst things about being so famous?

Mother Bird and Her Naughty Chick

There was a mother bird waiting for her eggs to hatch. In the end the eggs hatched and mother bird saw her babies. She loved and cared for them. As the time passed they grow up and learned to fly. One of them was different from others. He was the most inquisitive and naughty one. One day he was so bored and wanted to go out but knowing that his mother would not let him go alone he made a plan. He said:
- Mam, can I play with my sister on that branch.
- Why do not you play here?
- But our nest is too small to play for us.
- Ok then. You can go but please play on that branch. Do not go away because outside is dangerous for little birds like you. This caution is especially for you .
- Thank you mummy.

While they were playing, naughty bird escaped from there without being noticed. He was happy for being free in the forest and thought that he could go anywhere he wanted and discover new places to play. But he was not aware of the danger behind him; a greedy cat was there. When he realized the cat, he attempted to fly but failed. If only he had listened to his mother’s advice.
Suddenly his mother and sisters appeared on them. They started to peck the cat. The cat was afraid and escaped from there so naughty bird was saved thanks to his family. He was both happy and ashamed. He regretted lying to his family and promised himself that he would listen to his mother.

MORAL : No matter what the reason is we must not lie and we must listen to the advice of  elders.
