Interview in George St 2

Taiki Nakao


Last Friday, I and Jedo interviewed public people about risk taking in George Street. It was second time asking people who we do not know few questions, so we were not really nervous, and we could ask over 10 people.

We prepared few questions. The first question was that why you would do something people consider as strange to your appearance. The choices were “because you like it”, “you want to be attractive”, and “you think you have a low self-esteem”. Interestingly all of people we asked chose the first one. I guess this result means that people hardly consider others when they do something strange to their appearance. The second question was “have you ever sat on exam without studying?” I was surprised that most of people have tried exams without preparation before it. Four of them answered the result was good, two answered it was bad, and three answered it was lucky. The last question was “have you ever been abroad alone?” Most of people answered yes, and it was great. No one answered the second choice “I’d never do it again.” So it means traveling abroad is a great experience for everyone.

To sum up, people sometimes do something a bit risky to enjoy their life, such as changing the appearance, going abroad alone, and doing some activities that are scary. I think people who do not study for exam might do something fun instead of studying. Taking risks might be necessary for us to enjoy our life.
