Transcript

Barbara is a middle-aged woman with short white hair. She is standing in front of a notice-board.

Barbara: Hi, I'm Barbara; I work in Cambridge. When I started teaching, I was a volunteer. I went to India, before I went to university. I really enjoyed that, so after university, I went to Spain for a year and taught there. Then I decided to come back to the UK and become a qualified teacher and make this my career. I've been teaching for twenty – nearly twenty years now. I'm a teacher trainer. I train newly-qualified teachers and I've started training teachers who are developing their careers a little bit further.
