 * Text || Mr Guyan was born in Howick and has lived there all his life. He was the youngest of three brothers. As a child, he travelled a lot around New Zealand but not much overseas. Mr Guyan described himself as being a funny kid who played hockey and the saxophone. His nicknames were “Buddha” (because he was fat – we know he's the opposite) and Spider (because he did a lot of rock climbing).

Complete the Sentence:

As a teacher I can only go on holiday during the school holiday and everything is awfully expensive at that time. Q16. Three things I would take to a desert island... My family, a coke machine (Yes I drink a lot of coke) and a computer with internet acess.
