My name is Paul and I am teaching English in Brazil for one year, before I start
university. I live in a small village and I have my own little hut. I get up at 6 a.m. every
day. I have a ‘shower’ using a bucket of cold water. I eat a quick breakfast, and then I
get on my motorbike and ride to school through the jungle.
When I get to school, the kids are all waiting. Everyone is wearing T-shirts, shorts, and
trainers – it’s very hot! Today I’m teaching the younger children some English. We are
studying numbers 1–10, colours, days of the week, and we’re reading a story about a
family of rabbits. Incredible things happen to them! The other teacher, Rosie, is
teaching the older children. They are studying maths today. My class are laughing and
telling stories in their own language. Rosie’s class aren’t making so much noise.
They’re studying hard!
In the evenings, I usually eat supper early – around 6 p.m. Then I relax and watch the
sunset. And very often I go to bed early. Teaching is very tiring!
