- collect questions and answers related to topic (What situation/topic, interviewee, main direction are given?)

- avoid “yes/no” questions
- questions should allow interviewee to report (wh-questions), explain, give advice, voice an opinion, describe their impressions/feelings/thoughts
- what will be the main thesis/statement/problem? What will the audience be told about the individual/situation? What position on the subject do interviewee and interviewer have?
- arrange notes in a logical order.
- start with (useful) anecdote and/or short direct characterization of the person you interview (name, appearance, why interview is done). You can of course also include an indirect characterization
- structure: question and answer form. Make sure the answers fit the questions. Good interviews are DIALOGUES
- language: make sure the register/style of interviewer and interviewee are appropriate (they may be different!)
- remember to use "spoken language"!
- style = syntax, register, features like fillers, ways of expressing mood/agitation etc. of persons
