INTERVIEW TO GRACE. THANK YOU ALBERTO AND JORGE. AND SERGIO POR THE PIC.

-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.
