00:00:00,110 --> 00:00:13,179
hi everybody so today we've got a very special guest it's one of our newest students her name

2
00:00:13,179 --> 00:00:22,140
is sophia kennedy and she has come to jose bergamin all the way from miami usa good morning

3
00:00:22,140 --> 00:00:29,500
sophia hello so tell me sophia um how's it working out like the first few months of school do you

4
00:00:29,500 --> 00:00:35,259
What's the main difference between school in Miami and school here in Spain?

5
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,020
Well, the food definitely and also the language barrier.

6
00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:45,539
Okay, so you're finding it quite hard to learn the language.

7
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:46,719
Yes.

8
00:00:46,979 --> 00:00:49,000
Did you think it was going to be so difficult?

9
00:00:50,700 --> 00:00:52,619
No, not really.

10
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,979
Okay, so the reason we've asked you to come here to the radio today

11
00:00:57,979 --> 00:01:01,140
is we wanted to ask you a little bit about the customs.

12
00:01:01,140 --> 00:01:08,700
in the United States and how Halloween is celebrated in the USA.

13
00:01:08,980 --> 00:01:13,680
Would you please tell us something about how you used to celebrate Halloween

14
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,680
when you lived in the United States?

15
00:01:16,060 --> 00:01:22,180
Well, there were a lot of inflatables and other stuff like that.

16
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:28,459
There were some houses that would give out huge candy bars and stuff,

17
00:01:29,019 --> 00:01:33,459
But there were also some houses that I didn't really like that would give out toothbrushes.

18
00:01:37,719 --> 00:01:38,280
Toothbrushes?

19
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:38,659
Yeah.

20
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,280
Wow. Never heard of that before.

21
00:01:41,799 --> 00:01:46,040
So did you always get dressed up and go out on Halloween night?

22
00:01:46,700 --> 00:01:47,040
Yeah.

23
00:01:48,180 --> 00:01:53,359
And would you say that most of the kids in the United States always go out on Halloween?

24
00:01:53,819 --> 00:01:57,560
Yes, but some won't because of the religion.

25
00:01:58,459 --> 00:02:05,459
oh religious things okay um were there any really scary houses near your

26
00:02:05,459 --> 00:02:11,180
in your neighborhood that you would never go near um well i was never really afraid of those

27
00:02:11,180 --> 00:02:21,349
houses because the scarier ones would give out the better candy okay and another thing i wanted

28
00:02:21,349 --> 00:02:28,030
to ask you about was the day of the dead because you told me that um a lot of the mexicans who live

29
00:02:28,030 --> 00:02:32,689
in in miami celebrated this festival can you tell me a little bit about the day of the dead

30
00:02:32,689 --> 00:02:41,330
well usually in the library i would learn a little bit of more or less about it um one thing that i

31
00:02:41,330 --> 00:02:47,449
did learn about it was the that there's two days actually one for the kids and one for the adults

32
00:02:47,449 --> 00:02:55,729
so when you say the kids you mean the children that had died yes unfortunately yeah and then

33
00:02:55,729 --> 00:03:01,770
like the one day is for the kids and then the next day is for the adults yeah and somebody told me

34
00:03:01,770 --> 00:03:06,689
yesterday as well a mexican that they actually have a day for the the animals as well there's

35
00:03:06,689 --> 00:03:13,610
like the 27th 28th is actually for the animals so that was a bit weird as well anyway so i really

36
00:03:13,610 --> 00:03:18,669
hope um you're going to be able to learn spanish soon so maybe the next time we interview we could

37
00:03:18,669 --> 00:03:25,270

38
00:03:25,270 --> 00:03:30,870
