My job interview at Rainbows End
Yesterday after school, I went for a job interview at Rainbows End. First I went home by taxi to get dressed. I went up to my local bus stop to get onto my first bus to the main town of Howick. When I got there I immediately went onto my second bus that took me to the MIT building in Manukau. After I got there I walked to Rainbows End. Next I went into their office and waited for the interview lady to see me. When the interview lady saw me she greeted me and we shook hands. Then she told me a bit about Rainbows End and how their employees work and stuff. She asked me a bit about myself like what I like doing? Where do I live? What school do I go to? etc. Next she told me a bit about the cleaning job and what they have to do. She gave me a form to complete about the dates when I'm available to work. She took a photo of me and put my photo on my form. She explained to me that she had to give my form to the cleaning team manager who has to look at my form to see if I'm capable enough to do the job. If he or she thinks I’m capable enough then he or she will phone me for another interview. After I was finished with the interview lady my mum picked up from the office because she also works at Rainbows End and I went home with her. It was really exciting for me to go for my first job interview.

My trip to the film festival
Yesterday we went to our film festival at Sylvia Park Hoyts. I went in Khunfs car with Julia. When we got there, a lot of children from other schools were waiting outside the theater. I practised my speech while we were waiting. Next, we went into the big screen room and we watched lot of other films that different schools have made. Then our class film came on. I went up to a little stage with Mina and we introduced our class film. After that Mina and I ,sat back down and we watched our movie. That was so good. After all the films were done, we went to the food court and had our morning tea there. We also had a frozen coke there. Then we had a little look around JB HI FI and came back to school. I had a really awesome time at the film festival and my favorite film there was the “volcano“ one by Finn from EW3. It taught us some important facts about the volcanos around Auckland.
