St.Vincents new visitor
Our class has a new visitor, his name is Beat. His name sounds like “bay art”, that's how we say it. His full name is Beat Berther . He landed in New Zealand on October the 5th, same day as his friend. He lives in Chur and he is a teacher who teaches 11 to 13 year old students. He flew down from Switzerland. Beat brought a friend, her name is Karin Baumgartner.
He is staying in our class for three weeks, he loves to travel all around the world. Beat also loves New Zealand.
He loves to play tennis and also loves to go skiing and he can speak five languages, they are Swiss German, French, Italian, Spanish and very very good English. We can understand him real good.
He knows our friend Regula, who taught in our room last year.
Beat is 4o and his favourite food is chocolate, pasta, pizza and fish like different kinds of seafood, snapper, flounder and tuna.
Beat has a mum, a dad, a brother and a sister and they both are married. His family lives among the hills and mountains in Chur.
In Switzerland in the winter, the mountains are white and in the summer it is really beautiful and green . The lakes and the rivers are clear and if you want to, you can drink the water. In Switzerland they have old cathedals, castles and houses.
He is a really nice man and I hope he stays for ever. He’s funny too.
