You need to include both your interviewee’
s responses (data) and your reflection or explanation (analysis). Therefore, elect the quotes from your interview data carefully in order to make a strong argument (your analysis). Missing either of them (the data or the analysis) will lead to a significant deduction of your score.

My topic is
Raising a Bilingual Child: Major Concerns and Methods.
Research shows that about 50% of the world population is bilingual. This means that it is paramount for parents to raise their children as bilingual. A child who has knowledge of more than one language is likely to have better chances of being employed than a monolingual. There are a number of methods that can be applied in teaching a child different languages. Thus, I am conducing this interview to investigate parents’ feelings, attitudes, and methods toward raising bilingual children.
