Frederico Barata
Portugal
So, I’m Neil. Can you tell me about yourself please?
I’m 27; I’ve been working for 10 years. Now I’m studying – I’m an actor and now I’m studying theatre in the Conservatória in Amadora.
And when did you start studying at ELC?
I started about 1 month and a half ago. I had English in my secondary school but I want to learn more – I want to take an MA in London so I need to practise and talk more.
Why did you start studying here?
Well, because of my area – I want to work with texts. If I want to interpret an English text in need better English.
So, what do you like about studying here?
Well, ELC is important for me first, because it obliges me to make a structure with our thoughts. It’s important to talk each time about a different theme.
I see. And what areas do you feel you have made most progress in?
Maybe vocabulary – I have more words. At home I read, with the dictionary.
How do you think English will help you in the future?
English is a universal language – so if I want to go to China or Indonesia, I know people there can talk in English. It’s important if we want to work in different countries. In the search for work, you have more in English than Portuguese.
What advice would you give to younger / other students?
English is very important for your future; it makes you more rich, more open minded and if you want to increase your opportunities and life, it’s important.
Thank you very much for taking the time to have this interview – nice to meet you!
