-What was
your best experience in Spain?
-Well, I
think that the most impresive thing I've seen are the "fallas"
in Valencia. All the fireworks and the party in general were very
impresive.
-But, are
very different the cultures of Britain and Spain?
-I think
that here, in Spain, the people are more relaxed: there are more
parties and there are allowed a lot of thinks that in Britain aren't
permitted. The "fallas" for example.
-Would you
miss Spain? Would you return?
-Yes, I
will return if I can. I like the weather, the food and the feast days
(the "fallas" like I said before), but first I have to work
a little bit to gain money and then I will think of turning back.
-Have you
met many friends?
-Oh yes!
I've met a lot of different cultures here.
-Did you
ever feel homesick?
-Well, not
really. I talked to my family and my friends by Skype and so many of
my friends of England came here to visit me.
-Do you
think you have improved your Spanish oral skills?
-Yes, in
general yes.
-Do you
like the food?
-Yes, of
course. But there were big dishes and to different of England because
in England the meat and these tipe of food are accompained by some
vegetables or salad and here isn't.
-Yes, here
the dishes of vegetables are served separated of the other dishes
generally.
-Yhea! And
that is so extrange to me. I think I have gained 1 stone!
(aproximatly 6 kilos)
-I don't
really think you have gained 6 kilos. The next question: which places
of Spain have you visited?
-Oh well,
I think I have traveled all around Spain: I've been in Toledo,
Valencia, Sevilla, Merida, Cadiz, Salamanca...
Q1-What
was your best experience that you had during this year?
A1-Probabily the most exciting
moment was when I went to “las Fallas” because that was an
exciting and unique spectacle. I had never seen something like that.
Q2-Are you going to miss
Spain? What in particular?
A2-Yeah,
sure. The people I met here is very nice and kind, and Spanish dishes
are delicious. Also being at this school is something that I’ll
miss a lot. As soon as I get enough money, I’ll come back.
Q3-Woul you like to come
again?
A3-Of
course. In fact, I will likely return to Spain due the fact that I
need to get some more teaching experience to be able to start doing
my own lessons as a teacher. If not, I would come just for pleasure.
Q4-Have you met any new
friends?
A4-I actually did, because the
people here is so nice that is impossible to go back home without
having made any friends.
Q5-Do you think that you have
improved your Spanish oral skills?
A5-Although it wasn’t my
main objective, I had the time to speak with some Spanish people,
which I think helped me enhance my Spanish.
Q6-Which
places of Spain have you visited?
A6-Since I was already here, I
took the chance and visited Toledo, Valencia, Salamanca, Sevilla,
Mérida; Cádiz… I tried to visit as many places as possible.
Q7-Did you like the food?
A7- That was one of the best
things about my stay in Spain! I tried a lot of typical dishes, and I
liked them all! However I found that your meals tend to have lesser
vegetables.
Q8-Have you felt homesick?
A9-well… actually no,
because I already had some friends here, and with Skype I could talk
as much as I wanted with my family, so it wasn’t a real problem.
