Well, my name is Alejandro, I’m 30 years old, and I’m Spanish.  In Spain, well, I was working, I left my country because I lost my job, it seemed to me to be a good opportunity to learn English.  I came here because I had a good friend, I had come for tourism and to see him, and I didn’t….I mean, I really liked Belfast, and because of that I decided to come here where I had opportunities.  I arrived 8 months ago, I chose Belfast because of those motives, right now I’m unemployed and I’m studying English.  Em…ah well I have brought with me a coffee cup, with which I have breakfast every day since…eight, nine years.  And, well, it doesn’t have very important or special significance, but, I don’t know, it was given—gifted to me many years ago and I always have it with me because I like to drink my own coffee in my little cup, and because of that I keep it with me.
