Society and people, Kiwi Kid

Kiwi Kid

Todd: So Kate, can you talk about growing up in New Zealand, what it's like? Kate: Growing up in New Zealand is very free. Kids have a lot more freedom that kids in other countries: we can.. obviously we go to school from 5 years and until 16 years old you must go to school, but when we come home from school there's our parents there. They're very loving and caring, in general that is. And we have a lot of lawns, a lot of scenery, landscapes that we can run around on. Todd: What kind of things did you do when you were little, like games and sports? Kate: Sports. Todd: Oh sports, what sports? Kate: I started off with ballet and I got really bored with ballet. I went to gymnastics and that was my main sport when I was growing up. Todd: Oh wow you were a gymnast? What events did you do? Kate: Events? Well you have levels: competition levels, so you start from level 3 and I went up to level 7 and next level would have been very competitive, it's called ‘junior elite'. Had I continued I would have probably stopped school and concentrated on gymnastics only. Todd: When you were younger was your dream to go to the Olympics? Kate: Yes definitely. Todd: Oh ok. So do you ever - because you're still very young - do you ever practise gymnastics still? Kate: Yes I do actually. At the university that I go to I joined the club which is not gym but it's kind of dance and I can still do some of the stuff I used to be able to do. Todd: As you get older have you ever thought about becoming a coach? Kate: Yes, I did think about it but it's not a reality any more. I've forgotten so many things already. Just teaching for fun.

Todd: So Kate, can you talk about growing up in New Zealand, what it’s like? Todd: Also Kate, kannst du darüber reden, in Neuseeland aufzuwachsen, wie es ist? Kate: Growing up in New Zealand is very free. Kids have a lot more freedom that kids in other countries: we can.. obviously we go to school from 5 years and until 16 years old you must go to school, but when we come home from school there’s our parents there. Çocuklar diğer ülkelerdeki çocuklardan çok daha fazla özgürlüğe sahip: biz... tabii ki 5 yaşından itibaren okula gidiyoruz ve 16 yaşına kadar okula gitmek zorundasınız, ancak okuldan eve döndüğümüzde ebeveynlerimiz orada oluyor. They’re very loving and caring, in general that is. Sie sind sehr liebevoll und fürsorglich, im Allgemeinen ist das. And we have a lot of lawns, a lot of scenery, landscapes that we can run around on. Und wir haben eine Menge Rasenflächen, eine Menge Landschaften, in denen wir herumlaufen können. Todd: What kind of things did you do when you were little, like games and sports? Todd: Was hast du gemacht, als du klein warst, z. B. Spiele und Sport? Kate: Sports. Todd: Oh sports, what sports? Kate: I started off with ballet and I got really bored with ballet. I went to gymnastics and that was my main sport when I was growing up. Todd: Oh wow you were a gymnast? What events did you do? Kate: Events? Well you have levels: competition levels, so you start from level 3 and I went up to level 7 and next level would have been very competitive, it’s called ‘junior elite'. Had I continued I would have probably stopped school and concentrated on gymnastics only. Hätte ich weitergemacht, hätte ich wahrscheinlich die Schule abgebrochen und mich nur auf das Turnen konzentriert. Devam etseydim muhtemelen okulu bırakır ve sadece jimnastik üzerine yoğunlaşırdım. Todd: When you were younger was your dream to go to the Olympics? Todd: Als du jünger warst, war es dein Traum, an den Olympischen Spielen teilzunehmen? Kate: Yes definitely. Todd: Oh ok. So do you ever - because you’re still very young - do you ever practise gymnastics still? Haben Sie jemals - weil Sie noch sehr jung sind - noch Gymnastik gemacht? Kate: Yes I do actually. At the university that I go to I joined the club which is not gym but it’s kind of dance and I can still do some of the stuff I used to be able to do. An der Universität, die ich besuche, bin ich einem Club beigetreten, der kein Fitnessstudio ist, sondern eine Art Tanzclub, und ich kann immer noch einige der Dinge tun, die ich früher konnte. Todd: As you get older have you ever thought about becoming a coach? Kate: Yes, I did think about it but it’s not a reality any more. Kate: Ja, ich habe darüber nachgedacht, aber das ist keine Realität mehr. I’ve forgotten so many things already. Ich habe schon so viele Dinge vergessen. Just teaching for fun. Ich unterrichte nur zum Spaß.
