difficult. Are you ready? Good. Let's begin. One. What is your name? My name is Gemma. Two.

has some blue too and I like the country. Seven. What is your favorite film? My favorite film is
Shrek. I like Shrek because it's funny, it has a beautiful message and I just think
in every way. When I was younger I memorized all of the words to Shrek so I know Shrek
very very well. I think I've watched Shrek about 200 times. A lot. I'm losing count now.
What number am I? Okay, maybe I'll put the numbers on the screen.
Next question. What is my favorite book? I don't really have a favorite book but
I really like a book called The Curious Incident of the Dog at Night by Mark Adams.
It's a British author and it's about a young boy who has autism and he
is growing up and he has problems in his family and it's about him
understanding himself. It's about him growing up and it's a very beautiful book
and it's very funny as well. I like that it's funny but also serious and speaks about
a real-life family. It shows how complicated families are. Next, do I have a job?
Yes, well currently I work freelance and I teach English online. I teach English on a digital
platform called Shrek. Next, do you like coffee or tea? Well, I'm British so obviously I like tea.
We drink lots of tea here in England. Tea is delicious. I do also like coffee.
My favorite coffee is called a Derpy Chai and I really recommend it. Basically, it's
it's like a flat white and then they add in some chai so it's kind of sweet but with
coffee flavor as well and I'm addicted.
Next, what is your favorite food? My favorite food, well I think my favorite food is tacos.
When I lived in Mexico, I ate a lot of tacos. My favorite taco is
Taco Al Pastor which is, I believe it's pork. It's the one which is very popular in Mexico City.
They give you some pineapple on the top and they are amazing because you have spice,
you have acid from the lime, you have the grease from the meat.
Just incredible. I want a taco now. Next question, do you like sweet or savory food?
Well, I like both but I really, really like sweet food. All of my friends know that
chocolate is the way to my heart. I love chocolate. It's hard for me not to eat chocolate
every day. It's really hard. My favorite chocolate is Kinder Bueno. Next, what's your favorite drink?
Well, for me, I don't really drink alcohol anymore but I think my favorite drink
is probably hot chocolate. As I said, I love chocolate. Next question, what are your favorite
hobbies? For me, my favorite hobbies are speaking Spanish. I love speaking Spanish.
I learned Spanish when I lived in Mexico and I think it's a beautiful language. Recently,
I started to play badminton and I really enjoy the sport. I play every Sunday.
Yeah, it's really fun. Another hobby, I like photography. Sometimes, I take photos.
Do you have a hidden talent? My hidden talent is I'm really good at table football.
When I was younger, I played table football at my nursery and I played
every day with the manager. He was very good. I'm pretty good. What is your favorite city
in the world? Well, I think London is a great city. It's very unique. There's modern things,
old things. The music culture here is amazing. There are old pubs.
The people are really open-minded. I also like Mexico City. The food in Mexico City is amazing.
The weather is sunny and the people are friendly.
So, London and Mexico City. Have you ever lived in another country? Yes. So,
I lived in Mexico for about three years and it was a great experience. I love Mexican culture
and Mexican people. I have a special place in my heart in Mexico. Can you speak a bit of Spanish?
Yeah, I guess. What can I say?
Me gusta mucho una frase que es como que soñé contigo porque en inglés no la decimos así.
Decimos I dreamed about you pero en español es I dreamed with you.
Okay, back to English. Who is your favorite musician?
Well, that's difficult because I love lots of different types of music
but I think I would say I like a band called Keane. This band.
This is a British band and they have some famous songs called Somewhere Only We Know
and This is the Last Time. Their music is beautiful. I also really like
Zoy and that is a Mexican band. I really like their MTV Unplugged album.
And well, I really like jazz music. I listen to jazz music a lot. Jazz music is really relaxing
for me. My favorite jazz musicians are I like a man called Paul Desmond
and I like Bill Evans, Chet Baker and yeah, they're my favorite musicians. Do you do any sports?
Yes, I do sports. I do badminton. I also do sports at home. I have a yoga mat and I do
workouts with weights or I do yoga. Next, how is the weather today? Well, the weather today

1995. Next, do you prefer mornings or evenings? For me, I prefer mornings. I mean,
I like to wake up early. At the moment, I wake up around 7, 7.30 and I feel good
when I wake up early. I don't go out late at night too much.
Next, are you an introvert or an extrovert? I'm definitely an introvert. I
like my own time. Well, I like spending time with my friends. My friends are very important
but I need time to be alone, to have time to have energy again. Next, what do you do on the weekend?
Well, it depends. Last weekend, what did I do? Well, I went to see my sister at the pub with my
family. We ate a delicious roast dinner. That is a dish that we eat in England every Sunday.
Then, I played badminton and on Saturday, I taught English at a school in West London
and then I came home and I relaxed. I was tired and I also listened to lots of Mexican music
because I wanted to dance in my room. Okay, that's the end of the questions.
