I work on a farm. I plant seeds and trees, I plow the fields and

take care of the animals. I have cows, pigs, hens, sheep and even rabbits! When

the weather is good I collect a lot of fruit

and grain, which I eat or sell.

they need an operation.

I sail the seven seas. I attack and

rob ships and boats to take all

their possessions. My sailors and I are often drunk

with rum. I am the mean guy in a lot

of books. Nowadays I attack planes, too. I seek

my personal benefit and don’t obey the laws of

any country.

I make my living on it, too (or

rather, I try, it’s not easy at all!). I compose melodies and I perform them too. My favourite instrument is the

piano, but I’m good at others too. I wish I could be a genius like Bach or

Mozart…

My profession is not common

nowadays, but I was very popular

by kings or noblemen to amuse them.

Today I work in a circus and

people call me clown.

I go to school every day. I normally enjoy it, but sometimes it can be

sooooo boring! Anyway, I have lots of friendly

classmates and most of my teachers are fun and

caring. English is my favourite subject, but I

hate math…

After many years of training and learning at university, I now

do research to discover new

A rocket is my means of transport and my home when I am at

I am part of a popular tradition

in Spanish festivities. I am an entertainer,

though there are many people who think my job has

nothing to do with art because it is

cruel with animals. What is

your opinion?

I spent some years at university trying to learn as much as I could. Now I work with kids and try

to help them learn some of the things I know. Sometimes it is hard, but most days we have

lots of fun together.

My job is fantastic!: all I have to do is

stand very quietly in the middle of a field to make sure birds don’t eat the seeds or the grain. It can

be tiring sometimes, but the view is

wonderful! The only problem is … I’m not paid for it, but I don’t

really care!
