In conclusion, we found out that no one wants children more than 4, as they cannot afford paying their school fees. Most of them are not married yet. Most of them wants at least 1 children to look after them or pass down their family name.
Some problems we faced are, quite a number of people rejected us, and also use quite a lot of difficult words for us to understand.
Siti:
I interviewed all with the help of my teammates. I increase my confident from this project, and have a lot of courage to speak to people. I had fun doing this project. I thought it will be boring but it turned to be enjoyable.
Jaziela:
I help Yuan Jin to shorten up the words as the teachers speak very fast. I had fun doing the project, eventhough it was tiring.
Farah:
I interviewed only 1 people, but I did helped out in our blog by typing out the words. I also helped Yuan jin by shorten up some words for her to write easier. It was fun interviewing the PeiCai staff but its hard to find those staffs, it takes a lot of time.
Yuan Jin:
I helped writing out their answers from 7 people from the helped of my teammate I can easily write down their statement. The difficult part was that I could not write down the sentence in time. It was enjoyable but yet tiring.
