Isabel Blanco

Introduction:

In my school, I am an English Teaching Assistant, which means I help teach English grammar classes to the students. At my school, art is also taught in English, so I work with four different teachers to teach art. My co-worker Isabel was born in a small town in the Galician countryside about 45 minutes outside of Ourense. She worked at another school south of the city before coming to our current school four years ago. Here are her answers to my interview questions about her daily life.

What is your full name?:

María Isabel Blanco Pumar.

Where do you live? What is your house like?:

I live in the city center of Ourense. I live in a small flat with a kitchen, a living room, two bathrooms and two bedrooms. I use one of the bedrooms as a studio.

What is your family like?:

I live with my boyfriend. My parents live in a town called Xunqueira de Espadañedo, which is where I was born. I have a lot of cousins because my parents have many brothers and sisters.

How do you get around?:

In Ourense the public transport doesn’t work very well, so I drive my car to most places. Sometimes I walk to places in the city center that are quite close.
