Every Wednesday, I teach a beginner English class to students of all ages at the local library. This week, I was able to talk to one of my younger students about her life. Her name is Kisha (pronounced kee-sha), and she is 13 years old. She lives with her family in San Joaquín de Flores. Our conversation was all in Spanish, so I translated her answers as closely as possible.
For breakfast, I eat either cereal or bread with butter. For lunch, I usually eat rice, beans and eggs. Sometimes I eat chicken soup. For dinner, I eat fideo. It is kind of like a Costa Rican spaghetti.
I live in a house with two rooms, one small bathroom, one large kitchen and a big front patio. We also have a medium-sized living room.
For my chores, I have to wash the dishes, sweep the floors, make my bed and fold my clothes.
My mother works in a call center where she answers phone calls in an office. My stepfather works with a company that sells and installs solar panels.
