I work on a farm. I plant seeds and trees, I plow the fields and
take care of the animals. I have cows, pigs, hens, sheep and even rabbits! When
the weather is good I collect a lot of fruit
and grain, which I eat or sell.

have an illness or pain. I prescribe
medicines for them or send them to hospital if they are very ill or if
they need an operation.

I sail the seven seas. I attack and
rob ships and boats to take all
their possessions. My sailors and I are often drunk
with rum. I am the mean guy in a lot
of books. Nowadays I attack planes, too. I seek
my personal benefit and don’t obey the laws of
any country.

I make my living on it, too (or
rather, I try, it’s not easy at all!). I compose melodies and I perform them too. My favourite instrument is the
piano, but I’m good at others too. I wish I could be a genius like Bach or
Mozart…

I’m always so busy!, there’s so
much to do around the house: the
cleaning, the ironing, the
shopping, the cooking, etc. I don’t have a
minute to myself!

My profession is not common
nowadays, but I was very popular
centuries ago in medieval courts: I was employed
by kings or noblemen to amuse them.
Today I work in a circus and
people call me clown.

I go to school every day. I normally enjoy it, but sometimes it can be
sooooo boring! Anyway, I have lots of friendly
classmates and most of my teachers are fun and
caring. English is my favourite subject, but I
hate math…

After many years of training and learning at university, I now
do research to discover new

A rocket is my means of transport and my home when I am at
work. I need a special suit for protection and my working

I am part of a popular tradition
in Spanish festivities. I am an entertainer,
though there are many people who think my job has
nothing to do with art because it is
cruel with animals. What is
your opinion?

I spent some years at university trying to learn as much as I could. Now I work with kids and try
to help them learn some of the things I know. Sometimes it is hard, but most days we have
lots of fun together.

I investigate to find out who did what when there has been a crime. I follow tracks and

My job is fantastic!: all I have to do is
stand very quietly in the middle of a field to make sure birds don’t eat the seeds or the grain. It can
be tiring sometimes, but the view is
wonderful! The only problem is … I’m not paid for it, but I don’t
really care!
