Explanation
Víctor was born in Namibia in 1965. When he was 13 he went to Angola with his cousin to take part on the civil war. There he learnt to use a gun to survive, but he didn't have to use it. At the age of 18 he emigrated to Cuba to study marine biology. He returned to Namibia 11 years later and worked as a marine biologist for 23 years. After that he came to Spain to improve his studies at Santiago University and he got married with Rocío González here. Now he is an English teacher who gives particular lessons in Bertamiráns, near Chavián. He can speak six different languages including Spanish, English and Portuguese. We chose him
for this interview because he teaches us English and we see him once or twice a week. We think he is a nice person. Thanks to him we learn about other cultures and languages.

Services

Explanation
This service is very common, everyone uses it. It's not cheap, but it's efficient. It is very efficient because it is until very late active service. The drivers are very sociable and will always smile at you. This service has a drawback, it pollutes a lot and most people prefer to use the bus because it is cheaper and if they do not leave them in the exact place they walk a little, but if in that place they want to go there are no bus stops nearby. They have no choice but to call a taxi which can leave you one step away from your destination

Explanation
The element we chose is the old Bertamiráns football field. It is outside Bertamiráns, when you enter the football field you see two goals in bad conditions, on the sides there are blue chairs and some white ones. There is a lot of grass on the soil of the field. Today the Bertamiráms football field is next to the Pavilion and it is much bigger. In the old football field, the village parties are celebrated. They decorate it, put music equipment, put attractions and some food stalls and many people attend.

Although soccer is no longer played, parties are organized and people have a lot of fun.
