Nickson from MaiFm

On Wednesday  we were lucky to have a visit from Nickson from Mai Fm. He came to tell us about what it is like to work at a radio station. It was so fun that he told us that he can record something from here. Then he said that he told Taiwan to sing and the song was What makes you beautiful by One Direction. He also said that they play 170 songs per week. He told us about his radio station and he said that there is 37 radio station in Auckland. He gave us some CD songs and some cards.My favourite part was when he told Taiwan to sing and he recorded him on his I phone.
