Who do you work for at the moment, Ms. Mann?
Um, I work for the BBC World Service.
Ah, and how long have you worked for the BBC?
I've been with the BBC for five years. Yes, exactly five years.
And how long have you been their German correspondent?
For two years.
And what did you do before the BBC?
I worked as an interpreter for the EU.
As you know, this job is based in Geneva. Have you ever lived abroad before?
Oh yes, I have.
And when did you live abroad?
Well, in fact, I was born in Argentina and I lived there until I was eleven. Also, I lived and worked in Brussels for two years when I was working for the EU.
Mmm... That's interesting. Have you travelled much?
Oh yes, indeed. I've travelled all over western and eastern Europe, and I've also been to many parts of South America.
Mmm... And why did you go to these places?
Well, mostly for pleasure, but three years ago I went back to Argentina to cover various political stories for the BBC.
