It’s very painful. // Since my parents died in 1987, December, I don’t remember the date, it was terrible; I don’t like to think about that. // I feel like doing something, go maybe to a person’s house and maybe kill everybody in the house, because what they did to me … because they killed my parents. // I find school very interesting, because in Soweto we didn’t have so many activities as this school and it’s great to learn a new language. I like my teachers. // This is my teacher, Mrs. Crawford, she’s my favourite English teacher and I like her, that’s all. // I wouldn’t call him average.
