Conversation

Paulina: So you came to Toronto when you were about two and a half?
Alejandra: M-hm. Yep.
Pau: And your parents, were they Canadian or?
Ale: Yeah they were both Canadians. They were simply … They were trained as teachers and so they joined the government program called CSIS.
Pau: How do you spell that?
Ale: C-S-I-S.
Pau: Uh-huh.
Ale: And it was in order to help developing countries train professionals, in this case, training them how to teach.
Pau: So they worked in Ghana as teachers?
Ale: Yeah. Teaching teachers how to teach, so methodology…
Pau: Ah teacher trainers. Right. Ok.
Ale: Yep.
Pau: And then they went to Europe.
Ale: Yep.
Pau: They were doing the same thing in Europe?
Ale: Ahm Europe.. they were just seeing the country with… My sister would have been like five or six and I would have been, as I said, about two at that time so they traveled with two children just to show us I guess..
Pau: Right.
Ale: …a taste of Europe and…
Pau: That must have been wonderful. Do you remember very much?
Ale: Actually the only memory I have of Europe is a green beer bottle and a window sill in Amsterdam.
Pau: Wow!
Ale: And the beer was called Oranjeboom. I remember just looking down on this intersection and there was this kind of cobblestone kind of look and I just have that imprint and a sort of a feeling with it but I do not really have any other extended memories from that time.

I did this activity wit my sister because she speaks a little bit of English and I needed someone who can help me to do the conversation. First I look for the conversation on Internet and I changed the names of the people that have the conversation. After that, We sit down togueter and we tried a lot of times because sometimes we made some mistakes and we had to correct the record and try again.
That was a lot of work but finally, we did it well.

** REFLECTION:
This activity was a lot of fun for me and my sister. We could practice our speaking and at the end, I think that we do a very good job eventhoug we have to still practice our English jaja.
