Task 5

For Task5, I have to visit an attractive place in Auckland and I am interested in gardens. I sent an email to Eden Garden.

Hi there,
My name is Adrian Lee,a Diploma of English student of Unite north shore campus.I am doing some research about the "activities in Auckland". And I'm interested in gardens. So could I make an appointment with someone for 15 minutes and I should record that as my homework as well.

Best regards.
  

Yours
Adrian

Here is the website you can get more information.

Eden Garden

These are the questions I asked:

1. Usually how many people visit here every day?

2.What is the most beautiful season in Eden Garden?

3.Are there any events hold here, like tea forums?

4.I heard that you said there are some volunteers working here,so how can people to be a volunteer here?

5.How old is the garden?

6.I found that there are a lot of names in the garden everywhere, are they the donators?

This is the record of the interview:

I also took a lot of photos of Eden Garden which really look

quite beautiful and they must will be a lovely memory in my life in Auckland.

 Reflection

At a lovely spring afternoon,I visited Eden Garden for my task 5, it's quite convenient to spent an afternoon there.
I have been to Botanic Gardens,Winder Garden, Rose Garden,but Trash recommend me to go to Eden Garden which I haven't.It is spring at the moment, it must be a good time to have a afternoon at the same time.So I sent an email to the reception to ask for an interview but unfortunately, I didn't get any replay. So I decided to go there directly.I told the reception why I came and she agreed to have an interview even though she was not quite understanding
what I mean at first.

And also for this task,we had a new type of presentation which   much different from we had before and we should have the         presentation in a group to introduce your task and have a conversation to share experience and video it as well. I think it's muchbetter when you share your experience by talk to each others faceto face instead of video yourself in front of the camera.And you 

will also find some questions you want to ask immediately during it.

When I watched the video again,I found myself was not very brave to speak out even though I knew what I wanted to say,also        including some grammar and pronunciation mistakes.But fortunately,it was not very difficult to catch the others and to enjoy the 

conversation.

Over all,I think for this task I did much better than before.

Maybe the interview was not very successful because we both haven't prepare for that. Hope it OK next time!
