Exploring Writing Process

  I am asked to interview a professional in my field, suddenly a proper choice came to my mind. Manager Zheng is one of my father's friends, he owns Regal Airport Hotel in Hong Kong, and also he has two restaurants in Hong Kong. One of them is a Japanese restaurant, the other is a Contonese cuisine restaurant. I quickly asked my father about Mr Zheng's contact information.
  On Wednesday, I sent him a email to ask if I could interview him, and he agreed. I first asked him what he think hotel management is. He told me that to him, managing a hotel or a restaurant is a lifestyle, it's his everyday life. He thinks he is not only managing a hotel for making profit, but for his own happiness. Then I asked whae he would write in his daily life. He told me that he only writes a little by himself, usually before a meeting, he would write down what the problems are recently and what he needs to talk in the meeting. He would write a report about the hotel in the end of the year to summarize the work for that year and what needs to be improved next year. I asked how he writes it, he said that his secretary would give him many reports and datas about the information for the whole year, he would also consider some big events that happened through the year and whether the staff dealed with them correctly. He sometimes draw on the experience of other good hotels and write them down to teach his staff how to serve guests better. Mr Zheng mentioned that he writes diary sometimes to keep the minutes of some good moments happen to him of his family. He has ever written a diary with photos for his daughter, he started to write it on the day that his daughter was born and ended when his daughter was 1 year old. I think that's pretty cool and sweet.
  Mr Zheng's writing process is dfferent from others that we've discussed in class. Th report is similar to our recent paper, he collects the data and information first and make conclusion. We need to collect much information for our research paper too, the difference is we need to write the quote or citation from other's articles, but not only make conclusions. Mr Zheng wrote diary for his daghter every day, it's very different from the writing process we've learned. He also put photos into the diary, I think pictures could be added to our essays too to make our essays more vividly.
  Mr Zheng also gave me some advice in my field, he encouraged me to keep working hard with what I am really interested. Suprisingly, he told me he may give me an internship on my summer vacation. I think I get more than I thought from this interview, and I am so excited about working in a hotel or a restaurant.
