My name’s Carmen García and I’m a student at King’s
School. It’s a language school in Vancouver. I’m Spanish,
from Madrid, but my mother is French. She’s a teacher in
Madrid. The students at King’s School are from many
different countries. Students are from Japan, Mexico,

different people. The principal is Canadian, but my

name’s Helen. She’s very nice and she’s an excellent
teacher. Her classes are always really fun. José and Karl
are probably my best friends in the class. José is Mexican,
and he’s from Mexico City. Karl is from Berlin, in
Germany. We always speak English together because
that’s the best way to learn.
