4. Reading
a. What questions did we ask to Cherif, Janine and Alf?
Cherif
“Well, I liked most of my teachers at school, but my favourite… let me think… I guess my favourite teacher was Mr Hubert. He was the art teacher. I was not good at drawing or painting but it didn’t matter. He helped everyone the same. He made me feel positive about the things I can’t do.”
Janine
“Cheese! I remember the first time I ate it. It was at a neighbour’s house. I was really young, two or maybe three years old. I thought “This isn’t food!” I was really sick.
Then when I started school, they gave us cheese on the first day. I wasn’t sick again, but I didn’t want to go back to school on day two!”
Alf
“Hah? First… oh, that’s a good story. My granddad liked cars, he had a lot of fast cars, some old cars too. I helped him with his cars when I was a boy.
Well, grandded told me that the first words I said were “five litre engine”. My mom said that’s not true, but I always tell people that story. Five litre engine! Isn’t that great?”
