Interview with Sophie Clarke

Organising the Interview

Hey Sophie it’s Rosie. I was wondering if you’re ok being interviewed about your experience by me for a unit in college. It only needs to be a few minutes long. And you wont be on camera it’s just an audio. I could come to you if you can’t come into college. And I don’t mind if you don’t want to do it. Lots of Love xx

That sounds pretty cool actually, I’d really like to. J I’m not able to come to college though, so if you’re able to come to mine that would be great J xx

Yay awesome. What’s your address and when you free? X

(Sophie’s address) But you can only come round if you have no colds at all and not been with anyone unwell J I’m free most days as I’m recovering now, so maybe next week? Xx

Sounds awesome. What about next Tuesday? x

Sounds great. X

 ------------------------------------------------------------

Hey Sophie. Really hope you’re recovering smoothly J I was wondering if your still up for me coming tonight? About 6.30pm if that’s ok. Like I said you can say what you want to say I would never force you to talk about anything you don’t want to talk about. We can keep it chilled. Xx

Unfortunatly my nan has come down from Ireland today and I wasn’t told, so I can’t do this evening. Sorry x

It will need to be a Tuesday again if anything. Are you free then? Xx

Oh Ok, yeah next Tuesday sounds fine J xx
