Hi guys,
I'm Laís Gois, student of the eighth semester
and I'm Reporter for a day. My interviewed is the teacher Luzirene Barros.
Hello
Luzirene, why did you choose to be an English teacher?
My first
job was in an institution for poor children and I knew some foreign people
there. They didn’t speak Portuguese at the beginning,
only English so I tried to speak with them. The problem was that I didn´t know much English, so I decided to take a course in Fortaleza. As soon
as I started the course, I started to practice English with them and it was
really awesome!
After this experience I decided to work for
the state and started to give classes. Then I realized this was what I wanted
to be: English teacher.
When and
where did you graduate English?
Well, I´m an English teacher since 1999.However, I got my graduation level in “ Letters” last year at FAK, in
Maranguape but I must tell you I didn’t learn English or how to teach English there. I took some English
courses at IBEU, SENAC and POLIGLOTA
institute . Then I took a specialization course in English Teaching area, at ATENEU.
Did you
have another profession before being a teacher?
Well, as I
said before, I worked in an institution for poor children and that was my first
job. I helped children with their
homework.
How long
have you worked here in CLM?
I started
to work here this year and this is already a passion. I really love to work
here and help people to learn this beautiful, important and amazing language.
Now some
personal questions, ok! Are you
married?
Yes, I am.
I´ve been married for 5 years ;-)
Do you have
any children?
No, I don´t. I had problems to get pregnant in the past and after having some
treatments done, no kids. After that, I
tried to adopt a child but it didn´t work out so I decided it could be
my destiny: not to be a mom and life goes on this way.
What do you
like to do when you have a free time?
I like
hanging out or staying with my family. I also like to access the internet, to
watch movies on TV or going to the movies. I like studying other languages
too, French, Spanish and German.
Do you have
any dream? If so, can you tell me?
Yeahh, lots
of ;-) I like travelling so when I have time and money I go somewhere in
Brazil or abroad. Thinking about this I´d like to do a student exchange program. Maybe I can go to Canada
someday to do that. I want to
send a message to the students. ‘If you have a dream, try your best
to make it come true. It doesn't matter if you don´t have money or intelligence skills for that. When I was younger I
wanted to take a trip to Europe and nobody supported my dream. They always said
I was only a dreamer, that I didn´t have money for that. But I did it, three times. The most important is never give up. Maybe you can change what you want
but you shouldn´t stop dreaming, alright?’ ;-)
So guys,
that was my interview. I hope you liked!
Thank you
so much!
