Reflections
During conducting this interview, the interviewees are very nice and friendly. They were sharing their first impression about Labuan and personal experiences during their vacation in Labuan. From this interview, both of them very enjoyed their vacation in Labuan and seem that they will visit Labuan again. We as interviewer also get many information from the interviewees about Labuan. We had learn many techniques for how to present a good interview and hope that these techniques and experiences can use in our future career.
When we were conducting this interview we were facing some problems for example, many tourists were not in accordance with our requirement because they came to Labuan only stayed for few hours and they had nothing information and knowledge about Labuan. Another weaknesses was some of the tourists rejected our interview that we found in Labuan Airport because they wanted to rush to their flight. Besides that, one of the tourist do not know how to speak in English therefore he was not suitable became our target interviewee. Through this interview, we received many information and messages that delivering from the interviewees. For example, our communication skills getting better and fluently during the interviewing instead of do presentation in class. In addition, both of the interviewees were willing come to Labuan for their next vacation because they said Labuan is a peaceful places and people in Labuan also very friendly and felling thankful to both of the interviewees willing sharing their stories with us.
Based on the interview between foreign traveler (Mr. George) and Lee Sin Yan (Lee), one of the strengths that our group member Lee had is use language effectively, simple and straight forward to the points. Lee just use only 10 minutes, already completely in control the foreign traveler reason on coming to Labuan and find out the travel line of the foreigner traveler in Labuan even know the interest of the foreign traveler to the Labuan. In usual daily life especially, we all were pursuit on the time, rushing on the time and trying to save the time or reduce unnecessary steps during doing work or communication. So, Lee’s effective communication skills had let Mr. George feel interested and save each other’s time to progress on next activities. In short, our group members had done very successfully and smoothly communication with the foreign traveler by conduct our interview.
However, there are some weaknesses for this interview, it is because everyone have their own weakness, although she has tried her very best to communicate to the foreign traveler. However, she does have the weakness. For example, Lee cannot pronounce English accurately. Accurate pronunciation is very important in communication. Because that may let someone confusing on the points. On the other hand, we should proud of her as she has tried her very best to communicate with the foreign traveler. In short, we should try to improve our English communication skills to ensure that we can communicate well with others without bringing any confuse to them.
Others than that, the interviews were well-conducted by our members with Mr. Tan Toi Heng. We express our warm gratitude to him for the cooperation during the interview. Post-interview report has been written to determine the strengths and weaknesses during the interview for further improvement in our interview skills. The strength of the interview conducted with Mr. Tan Toi Heng is that the conversations are well-organized by preparing the best questions, confident from the interviewer, listen to the interviewees, and making them relaxed while being interviewed. The questions prepared for the interview are short and simple for interviewees to understand and of course to be answered. The questions also involved in asking their personal experience and interest to gain their mood to enjoy the interview.
Confident also one of the important parts to make the interview success. A confident smile expressed from interviewer will make the interviewee be calm and relaxed to answer the questions given. A strained look from interviewer will give negative effect to the interview and the worst, getting rejected to the interview. Listen to the interviewees is the key element to extend or make the interview moved on. Listen and express your feeling to the answer given from the interviewees then choose another question depends on the answer given. For example, Mr. Tan was being asked why and then where he will be in Labuan besides visiting his friends.
In a nutshell, throughout the interview of the tourists, we have known that Labuan is an island that full with peaceful and tax-free place. The two interviewees have different background and come from different country. But both are them have the same purpose which is visit in the Labuan. When interview the Mr. George, he is a man that very friendly and Mr. Tan is a man that very vigorous although he was 72 years old. It is a really good experience for conducting an interview with the tourists. Before conduct the interview, it is really hard, feel fear and nervous to communicate with the tourists. During the interview, the feeling of nervous still hover. This is because we lack of the experience in communicate with foreigner and afraid we do not understand what they are trying to say. After conduct the interview, we can realize that what are the strengths and weakness of self in the communication. Although we are not good enough in English, but we have the courage to keep trying to communicate and understand what they are trying to express. Language is the way that we can use to communicate and from there, we can find out more about the people through the language. English are not the mother language of us and also less use in daily life. When there are not good enough in English, we need to put more effort to let it become better. Practice and practice is the best and effective way that we can use. Practice make perfect, there is no doubt. When the weakness become strengthen, it will let us become more confidence and there are no barrier when we communicate with foreigner.

Conclusion
In conclusion, the interview’s questions is all about their impression and the opinion to the Labuan. From the first interview between our group member Lee Sin Yan and Mr. George, we found that Mr. George was bringing his family to Labuan for the first time. However, our second interviewee Mr. Tan was coming back Labuan to visit his friends.
Through the interview, the interviewees has given the well co-operation for answering the question that we asked and give some opinions and suggestions to the Labuan. During the interview, it is a good opportunity for us to improve the communication skills and listening skills when we communicate with others people.
Although the relevant questions that we asked to the interviewees are simple, but from these simple questions we can get to know how the capable of us in communication skills and listening skills while the interviewees answering the questions. We have learn a lot of knowledge and gain a valuable experience when conducted the interview to the tourists. From that, we can face up the strengths and weakness of self and let the weakness become strengths and the strengths become strengthen.
