Here is the Interview
Interviewer : Well, listeners. Here I’m having an interview with the Champion of the Students
Singing Contest this year, Christy Handayani. Hello, Christy! Welcome to our studio!
Christy : Hello, Good evening, listeners!
Interviewer : Well, Christy. Would you tell us why you were interested in joining the contest?
Christy : O. K, First, I read an announcement about the contest at my school and I told it to
my brother. He said it was a good chance and suggested me to join the contest. My
parents supported me.
Interviewer : Did you make special preparation for it?
Christy : Nothing’s special.
After I enrolled to become the participant, I chose the songs. I learnt and practiced
them myself. My brother sometimes accompanied me with his guitar.
Interviewer : By the way, did you think that you would become the champion?
Christy : Never, I just took part. I had no experience in such a Singing Contest before.
Interviewer : But in fact, you won the contest this year. Congratulation!
What did you feel when you heard the announcement that you were the
champion?
Christy : Thank you.
Of course I was very happy. I had never felt as happy as I did before. First, I didn’t
believe that I could be the champion.
Interviewer : All right, Christy. Thanks a lot for the interview.
Christy : You are welcome.
Interviewer : Well, listeners. This is the interview of the success of Christy in the Students Singing
Contest .
Stay in tune and see you next!
