The [8] a) faith b) Muslim c) normally [9] a) thing b) celebrate c) faith is, as I say, the key one in this school and we try to have. We would have two. two or three at least [10] a) assemblies b) mostly c) visitors d) visitor where children from our school would [11] a) faith b) necessarily c) participate d) visitors and would have been trained to do something by [12] a) faith b) Muslim c) normally d) visitors staff [13] a) assemblies b) mostly c) normally d) visitors .

3. Wendy: Which other faiths are there?

4. Pauline: We have Sikh [14] a) faith b) mostly c) visitors , we [15] a) celebrate b) necessarily Vaisakhi, the birth of Guru Gobind Singh and again we would have [16] a) thing b) faith c) forgotten d) mostly In those instances we would have [17] a) mostly b) man c) Muslim d) visitors from outside or maybe somebody on the staff, somebody who was employed on our staff who celebrated that [18] a) faith b) necessarily c) participate and who would share their knowledge with the whole school. We enjoy doing that, and we would. although we haven't many Jewish children we tend to have Jewish [19] a) regularly b) visitors c) worship as well. So we've Christian, Jewish, Sikh and [20] a) faith b) Muslim c) normally d) visitors [21] a) assemblies b) mostly c) normally d) visitors .

5. Wendy: And do you have [22] a) forgotten b) mostly c) visitors every assembly or occasionally?

9. Wendy: Where do you come from?

10. Pauline: I come from Ireland. I did teacher training in Ireland and I left Ireland when I was nineteen and came to live in London. I came for reasons of the heart, and when I moved from Ireland I hadn't done a degree in teaching. There wasn't a degree course then, so when I came to England my qualification wasn't recognised. I moved to Leeds in 1983 and did a B Ed then that qualified me to teach.

11. Wendy: Do you [32] a) celebrate b) mostly c) Muslim d) normally being Irish?

12. Pauline: Oh, yes. I think all Irish people do [33] a) celebrate b) mostly c) necessarily on St Patrick's day. One of my children in my class this year brought me a lovely little bunch of shamrock, so I was wearing that on St Patrick's day. And [34] a) Muslim b) normally c) participate d) visitors , I´m Catholic so [35] a) faith b) forgotten c) Muslim d) normally I would go to a sort of function in our church hall on St Patrick's day. I think when you're. when you're part of a church, indeed any church, you have a sense of community. Of course because I go to Catholic church there´s quite a lot of Irish there so that´s a link for me. But my family live [36] a) assemblies b) forgotten c) mostly d) visitors in Ireland, and I go and visit several times a year and they come to me. No, I haven't [37] a) faith b) forgotten c) regularly d) visitors my roots, just as I haven't [38] a) faith b) forgotten c) necessarily d) visitors my accent.

13. Wendy: Do you feel Irish not British or both?

14. Pauline: I think I feel a bit of both. I think I found it difficult because I´ve lived here longer than I lived in Ireland. I think I wouldn't find it easy to go back and live in Ireland and I hope I can embrace both cultures.

15. Wendy: Thank you.
