During the days of interviewing, me and my partner realized and found out that Swimming isn't a culture. So far, most of the people we interviewed say that swimming isn't a culture, its a passion/sport.
This made me and my partner curious, it made both of us to worry about if we need to change it now or not. In the end, our final descision was to change the topic "swimming" into the new topic "Chinese Culture."

We wanted to try out the questionaire ourselves too. So under here will be our answers for the questionaire we made:
Swimming Questions
© Do you think that swimming is a culture?
We think that swimming isn’t a culture, but we think that it’s a part of our lives, which leads to being a part of ourselves.
© Do you find swimming interesting? Why?
We find swimming interesting, because it’s fun, and it can help me have a better and healthier life.
© Why did you start learning the sport swimming?
We started learning the sport swimming at first, because our parents forced us. But now my parents are forcing me out of swimming, while I really like this sport.
© What do you think of swimming as a culture?
We don’t think that swimming is a culture; it’s a passion/sport.
© What kind of identity do you think swimming has?
It has an identity of sports.
© Would you say that you are a part of swimming culture?
No, because we don’t think that swimming culture. We think that it is a passion/sport.

After trying the questionaire ourselves, we both now have a idea why our answers were like that. So far now, i would like to aim for finishing 3quarters of the powerpoint. So we can have a longer time with editing and interviewing.

Listed down here are the prompt questions from Mr.Parker:
