18.How to Do Man-on-the-Street Interviews
The man-on-the-street interview is an interview in which a reporter hits the streets with a cameraman to interview people on the sport.(31)D But with these tips,your first man-on-the-street interview experience can be easy.
●When your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the-street interviews for a story,think about the topic and develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it.For example,if your topic is about environmental problems in America,you might ask,"Why do you think environmental protection is important in America?"(32)G
●Hit the streets with confidence. (33)B Say,"Excuse me,I work for XYZ News,and I was wondering if you could share your opinion about this topic."This is a quick way to get people to warm up to you.
●Move on to the next person if someone tells you she is not interested in talking on camera.Don't get discouraged.
●(34)AEach interview that you get on the street shouldn't be longer than ten minutes.As soon as you get the answer you need,move on to the next person.Make sure that as you go from interview to interview,you are getting a variety of answers.If everyone is giving you the same answer,you won't be able to use it.A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to ten.(35)F
●If your news station or school requires interviewees to sign release forms to appear on the air,don't leave work without them.

A.Limit your time.
B.As you approach people,be polite.
C.If you don't own a camera,you can buy one.
D.For new reporters,this can seem like a challenging task.
E.To get good and useful results,ask them the same question.
F.That number of interviews should give you all the answers you need.
G.With a question like this,you will get more than a"Yes"or"No"reply.

The term “to extend an olive(橄榄) branch” means to make an offer of peace or reconciliation(和好). This term has Biblical(圣经的) origins, coming from the section of the Old Testament that deals with the flood; the sign that the flood is over is an olive branch brought back to the ark(方舟) by a dove. Olive branches were also symbols of peace in Ancient Greece and Rome, and they continue to be used in various works of art that are meant to suggest peace.

Some people have suggested that the olive was a very deliberate and well-considered choice as a metaphor(比喻) for peace, because olive trees famously take years to mature. War is typically very hard on the trees because people cannot take the time to nurture them and plant new ones. Therefore, the offer of an olive branch would suggest that someone is tired of war, whether it is an actual war or a falling out between friends.

In Ancient Greek and Roman times, people would offer actual olive branches. In Rome, for example, defeated armies traditionally carried olive branches to indicate that they were giving in, and the Greeks used them into weddings and other ceremonies. In the modern era, the branch is usually metaphorical, rather than actual, not least because the plants can be a bit difficult to obtain.

Many people agree that peace negotiations at all levels of society are a good idea. Between nations, obviously, it is important to extend an olive branch to ensure mutual safety and to help the world run more smoothly. This act can also be important on a personal level, as resolving conflict and learning to get along with others is viewed as an important life skill in many cultures.

At some point in their lives, many people will be advised to extend an olive branch to settle a dispute or resolve an issue. Some people believe that it takes an immense amount of courage to take this action, as it often comes with an admission of wrongdoing and regret.
