Sophie, Toni and Callum – John

Hi, I am British.

My name is John and I live in Newcastle with my little sister, mum and dad. I don’t speak any other languages apart from English in a Geordie accent. See if you can figure this out:

  ‘Ah divn’t nah where your ganzie’s gone hinny, mebbe it’s on your bairn’s bogie’.

Some of the words we use are different from standard English.

Only last week, when I was getting off the bus and there was this gang of black kids, they were talking about what they were going to do to little white boys. This made me feel sad, different and scared.

I eat alot of Italian food and my dad’s kebabs are absolutely delicious!

I am an Atheist which means I don’t believe in religion or God. I never go to church and neither do my parents. You know if you have done something wrong because it makes you feel bad inside.

My dad works for a French company, making drugs for hospitals and he works with lots of British people who come from lots of different countries. He likes working with immigrants from lots of different countries.

There is so much for me to tell you but I will tell you more later as I have run out of time!
