We are Jordan and Ruhul, and we are mini journalist for the 大象传媒. We are interviewing David because he was at our school during WW2.

We asked David how did you feel when the war was on? He said it was very exciting. Some people went to school at 9am till 12am and other children went at 1pm till 4pm. Most children weren鈥檛 afraid because they would sing songs to take his mind off the war, but they only sang for 10 minutes but they got bored.

In the shelter it was really smelly and damp. There were a couple toilets but they were right next to each other for girls and boys. And in the shelters they would do their lessons.

He said that when he was in the shelters he could hear a whistling sound. then it went silent and then you would hear a loud bang. He could tell the difference between an English plane and a German aircraft engine.
