What problems do the speakers identify for this project?Choose SEVEN answers fr

T: I see you worked hard calling players and the head coach to talk, so let’s see what information you got.
R: Well, you have to listen carefully to the first call on the recording. It’s really hard to hear because the background noise is louder than the person’s voice.
T: Yes, it is a bit tough to discern. I’m afraid the player’s answer is too short as well. You will have to interview him again and try to get him to give a better answer.
R: Okay. I thought that might happen I will call him again tomorrow.
T: Moving on, let’s look back at this question. You asked, ’Tell me about a time when you learned a major life lesson through playing football, and explain how that has shaped the person and player you have become now, and how you hope to pass on that lesson. ’ It is a great idea for a question, but in an oral interview it is far too complex. I would advise you to break it up into multiple parts to get a better response.
R: I guess you’re right — I wouldn’t want to have to provide an answer to a question like that. I will simplify it. I found that when I asked players this question, it took too much time because they were struggling to answer the question completely. In fact, this is the question Joe Billings was answering when the tape ran out.
T: He did tend to ramble on all the questions, didn’t he?
R: He sure did.
T: I would recommend that when you go back and interview players again that you use a more sophisticated recording device. This recording is spotty, which indicates that the equipment wasn’t working consistently.
R: Okay. I guess it probably wasn’t the best idea to use the sound recorder on my phone. Hey, could you give me some feedback on the content of the report itself?
T: Sure! Let’s start by focusing on your topic. While I like that you chose to cover football, it seems inexplicit. The key for success of a player and team is quite an interesting topic, but what is your thesis? That is to say, what conclusions can you draw from your research? I would suggest coming up with a strong thesis statement and then shaping your report based on that.
R: Is it really too vague? I put a whole lot of facts into it. I list the top 10 goal-scorers in football history, and later on provide statistics for a few of the most famous coaches and their records as coaches.
T: I think that’s great that you included these facts, but I think you focused too much on the facts and not enough on connecting these facts to make your point.
R: Ah, I see. Okay. So it looks like I have quite a bit of work to do before the deadline!
