My name is Koichi Durand, and I come from Chimbote, a coastal city in the Ancash region of Peru. I currently work as an English B teacher at COAR, where I teach within the International Baccalaureate (IB) program. I have over fourteen years of experience in English language teaching.

In addition to teaching, I have taken on roles as a speech mentor and a guide for students participating in business project proposals focused on solving global issues. My experience as a mentor in intercultural exchange programs in both the United States and Japan has helped me develop strong cross-cultural communication skills and a passion for building bridges between people.

Outside the classroom, I enjoy a variety of hobbies that help me recharge my batteries. I’m a dog lover, a fan of video games and manga, and I find great joy in both listening to and playing music. Whenever I have free time, I love to travel, it’s my way of broadening my horizons and finding new inspiration.

All in all, I consider myself a lifelong learner and someone who’s always ready to roll up my sleeves to help others grow and succeed.

QUESTION 1 .

I CAN SEE IN PICTURE 1 ,A SKI RESORT,IN PICTURE 2, A WATER PARK ,PICTURE 3, AN AQUARIUM , PICTURE 4 , AN ART GALLERY, PICTURE 5 , A CASTLE AND PICTURE 6, A WATERFALL.

QUESTION 2.

I WOULD MOST LIKE TO VISIT A SKI RESORT. THIS IS BECAUSE I LIKE ADRENALINE IN SOMEHOW AND OF COURSE THE IDEA OF SKIING WOULD BE FASCINATING. IT MAY BE TAUGH AT FIRST BUT THEN LITTLE BY LITTLE, I WILL BE ABLE TO DO IT GREATLY. ON THE OTHER HAND, THE PLACE I WOULD LEAST LIKE TO VISIT WOULD BE A WATER PARK SINCE I PREFER TO GO TO MOE NATURAL PLACES SUCH AS THE BEACH.

QUESTION 3.

I HAVE BEEN TO AN ART GALLERY, A CASTLE AND SOME WATERFALLS.

QUESTION 4

THERE IS A MUSEUM IN MY HOMETOWN BUT NOT OF THE OTHER PLACES MENTIONED IN THE BOOK.

# data[].attributes.body
1. In the images shown, I was able to observe various tourist places that I would genuinely like to visit at some point in my life, when I can afford the chance to experience them. These include waterfalls, aquariums, water parks, and many others. Above all, I’m especially interested in trying out or taking part in a ski resort experience, as it’s such a fantastic and impressive sport to do.

2. To be honest, I’m more curious about visiting an art gallery, mainly because I really love the world of art. Being in a museum where different pieces of work are displayed, where I can observe and feel inspired, truly catches my attention and makes me eager to visit one soon. On the other hand, the place that interests me the least would be a castle or a cathedral. Even though it might be a unique and historical experience, I feel like I would get bored quite quickly. I’m an active person, and I wouldn’t enjoy just walking through halls where nothing really grabs my attention. In contrast, art museums and galleries are colourful and have a more eye-catching and enriching style of art to look at.

3. To be honest, none, as far as I can remember, so I'd like to visit some soon. Being locked up in my house studying and studying is very overwhelming for me. I need to give myself some time to have fun and relax a little.

4. Not really. Where I live, I usually check out parks and restaurants. I don't live in an area where I can just walk around. If I wanted to do that, I'd have to take a car or go with my family to have a better time, since these are very far from my house.
