Dreams are necessary to life, but the life is not a dream.

M-Hello everybody! You are listening to Monica’s program and today we talk with the last farmer from Catalonia.


M-Hi Joan! You’re in the program to talk about your job, a profession that is dying out. What do you think about that?

J-Hi Mònica, I think that to be a farmer is so easy but the reputation of this profession was fallen since 1960 when the Industrial Revolution began in Catalonia.

M-Oh, that’s a shame! Have you lived this change?

J- Yes, I was 13 years old and my father was a farmer.

M-Interesting… You can explain what was your way of life like before this change?

J-Yes, of course, life in these times was simpler. I remember that every day my father woke up when the birds sang, then he ate and all the day he worked with livestock. My father didn’t use machines because he thought that he didn’t need them.

M-Oh my god!! Without machines! And do you use the machines?

J-Of course, I love the machines because they make the work easier.

M-You weren't you bored all day in the field without cinema or shops?

J-No because I had to work all the time, and when the day is ended I was really tired!!

M-Well Joan, the time is over. I like so much talking with you about your profession.

J-Me too. Bye Mònica, it’s a pleasure talking with you.
