Easy for interpreters and calf chasers

SPANISH student Maria Arroyo gave the higher level paper an emphatic thumbs up when she left the exam hall at St Augustine’s College in Dungarvan yesterday evening.

The 21-year-old has only been in Ireland nine months to improve her English and college principal Fr Pat Moran described her as remarkably diligent.

Maria wants to become an interpreter of English, Italian, French and Spanish. “I wrote 10 pages and I am well pleased,” she said.
