How long have you spoken Spanish?
I have spoken Spanish for 6 years.
When did you learn Spanish?
After my son was born in England I went to college at night, but then it became a social thing where I would meet up with my friends and we’d try to speak Spanish together. My first Spanish teacher was a French man.
Have you ever been to Spain or any country that speaks Spanish?
Yes, I have been to Spain, Menorca and Tenerife.
Doyou enjoy teaching Spanish?
Yes, I am trying to make it fun for the kids to learn a new language and culture.

Jobs
Hmmm….time. Time flies by doesn’t it? As it flies we get older.
You won’t be at school forever you know and you’ll need to think about what you will do for a job.
Have you ever thought about that?
Well I have and my dream job is to be an author. Do you have a dream job? If not, then I have gone around surveying what people would like to do when they grow up. Maybe that could help you decide. Police man, army man, video games designer, All
Black, skate boarder, animal biologist , All White, boxer (No not the dog), navy, mechanic, race car driver, motor bike racer, scientist, chef, author and vet. There are some people that had very odd suggestions. But I guess they were just being silly so I chose not to put their wacky ideas into the paper.
So have you got any new ideas on what you would like to be when you grow up yet? Well if not ask your mum or dad what their job is and maybe they will have a job that you will like or be suited to.
So other than that, enjoy the time when you don’t have to do hard work all day.

A chef at work.
The bell rings, people scoff down their food and rush to the changing sheds to play Bey Blades and Tech decks.
Huge arguments have accrued to judge what is better, Bey Blades or
Tech Decks. Many people have swapped sides from Tech Decks to
Bey Blades and Bey Blades to Tech
Decks. Now we will decide what is the ultimate toy.

Points about both:
1. Both are not very expensive
