4. Problems We Had To Overcome
1.Appointment: When we arrived the store, because we have not yet book appointment with the owner ahead of time, we usually delay our interview schedule. Moreover, we learned one vital experience is that we need to arrange the entire owner in advance by telephone booking. Therefore, organization helps us doing this research much quicker and controlled. 2.Technical problem: there are not many guests willing to do the survey with us, which makes this research another hard task. We were wondering why the guests not willing to do the survey with us, but we figure out that we wear a logo identification. And we explain to the guests what we are and we do with smile on the face. It turns out the survey is extremely pleasing. 3.Language: Students use mandarin during the interview, but only few goat hotpot owners’ use Taiwanese for reply. Sometimes, when we get into language conflict, teachers play as a translator in there. 4.Timing: The goat hotpot owners usually inform us how decent they are, which frequently delay our interview schedule. In controlling the timing, we failed in the beginning. Nevertheless, we learned how to organize interview content, and focus the main question, so that we shorten the interview schedule and we got all the information that we have to know. 5.Expense: At first, we will need to collect some funds to purchase goat hotpot. But with some warm support by the parents, we solve the problem by sponsoring. 6.Others: one of the students who have participated is a ball member; another student is a swim member. Occasionally, these two student’s schedule does not coordinate with other students, yet, they are welling to attend and negotiate so that the research is finished.
