I walk to work this morning when I see Mr Gonzlez, my old Spanish teacher.
He (wear) a leather jacket and (carry) a guitar. I (ask) him how he was. He
said, Fine. I go to my band practice, I said. What band? he replied. I not
teach anymore. It (not be) really the best job for me. A few years ago I (start)
a band called The Big Easy. We (not make) much money, but I (like) the
lifestyle. I asked him where he (live) and he said, I (live) in my caravan at
the moment. I travel a lot. Im a child of the sixties!
