Hey there Maria, it's awesome to see that you've completed another set of activities. For the first activity, finishing the Hairy Maclary story, you need to write at least 8 sentences.
ReplyDeleteYou've also written a couple of good questions to ask Jacinda Ardern during an interview. Can you think of any others? I would love to hear some more.
Otherwise it might be a really short interview.
Thanks, Billy
