What are the keys to an effective interview? (List at least three examples)

1. Make sure you know what you're going to ask the person you're going to interview. Write down a list of questions you would like ask them and narrow the list down to maybe ten questions or more depending on how long you plan to interview them.

2. Practice what you're going to say. Get some flash cards and write your questions down on them and look through them and imprint them into your memory. That way when you do the interview you won't be stumbling on your words looking for what to say.

3. Don't be too pushy with your questions. There may be a point during the interview where you will ask about the interviewee about an aspect of their personal life. They may answer that question but there is also a chance they may not because it may be something that they aren't very comfortable sharing with you. If they aren't willing to answer the question, respect their refusal and move on to a less personal one.

the narrator is saying that the old lady made her feel uncomfortable. you know this because they say "i found that rather irksome", "perhaps it was her being so upright and trim", and "i don't think it was that, because i thought that quaintly pleasant." hope this !
