“Sometimes
it can be very difficult to teach English, because students are tired and they ask me to speak in
Spanish.”
Yolanda Cabanas is an English teacher. We will do an
interview in English because we thought it interesting to do so. We do it for
people as much as I know, people who want to learn and know better English.
Why did
you choose this profession?
Because I like foreign languages and I
like teaching kids.
What did
you study? What university did you go?
I want to be the Autonomies University
of Barcelona, and I studied Translation and interpreting in English
and Portuguese.
Was it
difficult to learn English for you?
No, it was my favourite subject at
school and I liked listening to music in English so that helped a lot.
Did you
travel for studying English? Where?
I travelled to Canada while I was at
university and when I finished my studies I went to Oxford England to work for
two years.
Did you
work in Oxford?
Yes I did.
Do you
like teaching English?
Yes I like teaching English and I wish all the students enjoyed learning, although I know not all of them do.
We think
it’s difficult to teach English to the students. What do you think?
Sometimes it can be very difficult
because students are tired and they ask me to speak in Spanish.
What do
you like in your profession?
I like being surrounded by young people
and teenagers because they are very lively and I think interesting, although it
is sometimes hard to deal with them.
What
other subjects do you like teaching?
I would love to teach music or art, but
I don’t think I have the knowledge to do it.
How
many years have you been in this high school?
This is my second year in this school.
What do
you like to do in your free-time?
I like going to the cinema, going out
with my friends and spending with my family.
Encara que

l’anglès, ens ha agradat molt fer aquesta entrevista.
