ESOL, I know right?

Okay, so I work with Immigrants quite often nowadays. I know right? It's done through hampstead theatre, called ESOL it helps those that have english as a second language to develop confidence with speaking in front of people, writing, pronunciation, all that jazz. The whole thing is quite a laugh really.
A couple of weeks ago I was brought in to work with some level one students (bear in mind these students are nearly all middle-aged- bear in mind these people barely know english at all) and we created a script that was quite funny. for me anyway. and here i am, sharing it with you! enjoy.
