MOTHERS

OBJECTIVES

• To talk about your mother’s (or any other relative’s) childhood

• To realise how life has changed over the years

MY MUMMy mother wasn’t born in

Catalunya, but in Aracena (Huelva). She didn’t have a television at home or computer games – children used to play games and spend time in the street. She didn’t stay in her village for good. As a matter of fact, she moved to Barcelona when she was 19. As many women of her age, she didn’t go to University. However, she was always interested in History and Psychology.
