Victor's project As part of my history project on transport, I did some short interviews with people in my neighborhood. My first interview was with my friend Susan's grandmother, Mrs. Sanderson. Question 1 How did you get to school when you were young? I walked to school with my friends, except for Fridays when we had to carry all of our things for school sports. Then we caught the bus. I enjoyed walking because we could chat on the way. I didn't like it when it was raining though, but Mum always made sure I wore my raincoat and gumboots. On the other hand, I became a strong walker, and I believe that's why I've been healthy all my life. Question 2 My parents drive me to school. Why didn't you go to school by car? You know, we were not rich enough at that time. We could not afford a car until after I had finished school. Question 3 How did you get around when you weren't going to school? We often went for a family trip by train. Most weekends we went on picnics and I loved playing with my cousins in the park. The trip took much longer than it would take by car today of course. Question 4 How do you get around now? How do you get around now? I still love walking, but I need to drive my grandchildren around, so I mainly use my car. |
