My first interviewees is Rion, who is my neighbor's friend, an American. His major is classic intronidian study, something about history. His hometown is Oxford, PA. This Oxford is the third Oxford I heard.

Rion said state college is a college town, so the people are young, but his hometown has many farmers and they are older than people in State college. Some people work in factory in his hometown.

He like studying at Penn State because he can get various classes here.

He like Dochorse and Docles. They provide Hamburgs, but they are not like macdonalds. He can watch football game there.

In weekends, Rion likes to sleep and local camp ground.

Communication Assignment #1

I visited Matt, who is my neighbor. He struck up a conversation in a trip and he talked about water stream with the other. He start the conversation by asking question. Matt definitely shake hands when introducing himself. He seldom say "How do you do?", and he said "How is going?" instead. He always stand up when someone introduce friends to him since he think this is polite. He will talk with stranger in class or in barbeque, for social function. He like to start the conversation in class by asking questions.

For me,common interest or curiosity would motive me to talk to a stranger.
h. Yes. In front of HUB. We talked many topics, including music, constellations, major, hometown, and so on.
