English Recordings

A failed soldier, farmer, and real estate agent, at 38 years old, went to work for his father as a handy man.

Turned down by the Decca recording company who said: “We don’t like their sound and guitar music is on the way out.”

Buffalo is also called the American Bison. It lives in North America. Bison are large animals, they have a brown coat, a massive hump on their back and two horns for defense and fighting. They eat plants, grasses and sedges. Bison can be dangerous, they are wild and unpredictable. They attack when they are provoked. A buffalo can run very fast, and he can also jump very high! In the 1800s thousands of bison were killed for their coat. Today they are still endangered because their habitat is destroyed and gets smaller and smaller. In Wyoming, USA, wild buffaloes are preserved in a place called Yellowstone National Park.

Well, firstly, it is a pleasure to be here. I graduated from one of the premier medical schools in my country. Since my graduation, I have worked as a physician in different hospitals within various healthcare teams, which enabled me to further improve my clinical skills and to better myself as a team player. Now I am ECFMG certified and I am trying to continue my career in the pediatric field. Pediatric residency is my goal and I believe I have trained and prepared for this over the years with good medical education, and then with valuable clinical experiences. But on a more personal level, I really like improving myself contuinously. I like the quote of Life Begins at the End of my comfort zone. I have academic and personal goals to reach all the time.

The Jones family is really mysterious. They have amazing superpowers. Mr Jones can lift heavy things because he is incredibly strong. Mrs Jones is extremely talented, she can charm people with music. Oliver can teleport and he can turn invisible, too. Amelia can create and manipulate lightning, but she can't sing. Their grandmother Wintera can freeze water and she can also freeze time. Their grandfather Wulver can run very fast and he can move small objects. Finally Morph can transform into all sorts of animals. They are different so they have enemies, for example Bully Blake and Slimy Simon. Their best friends are called Sophia and Tim. I like the Joneses because they are fantastic and friendly.

In the 18th century, they lived in Switzerland but also in the east of France , in Alsace, but they were persecuted because of their religion. So they decided to move to America to practice their religion in peace.
By the way, since they are Christian , they celebrate Xmas .
