One of my dream is living in a farm and establishing a small ecological system with lots of interactions between animals and plants. In that system I would act as a facilitator and let the spirit of life to be spread around me. I like watching growth of living organisms and progress of ecological sequences. Going to farmers market was like a reminder for my old dream. I saw some people that make their own business by managing organic farms. I can’t live like Amish people but I can imagine myself moderating a modern sustainable farm by respecting to mother nature.
It was my first time to do an interview with American farmers. I enjoyed chatting with them since all of them were enthusiastic about their business and liked speaking with people about necessity of their healthy organic products. But as you can see in the interview, that Amish guy has a special accent representing a different accent in the farmers community of Pennsylvania. I asked questions from farmers (vendors) about their products, establishing their own business and their revenue.
I think with a common knowledge about a topic you can start chatting with people and make a proper dialogue with them. Having a plan for such interactions could help you to ask suitable questions and enhance your listening efficiency. Thoughtful questions could enhance your confidence in the dialogues.
Finally I should thank Xin for the suggestion of the activity and making such professional videos.
