A Change of Schools, a Scary Dream, and a Job Application

A Change of School

Everyone knows that a change of school can be difficult. It doesn't matter why you change schools, it's hard. However, is it really that difficult?

Certainly, there are many advantages. For starters, you can meet new people and experience new customs. In addition, there may be more modern facilities than in your other school. And for this reason, there may be a different way of learning, although this could be a disadvantage, because you are not used to this way of learning.

More disadvantages could be that sometimes you lose contact with your old classmates. And there are new teachers who you have never seen before, and maybe new subjects, too.

To sum up, if you are going to change schools, go for it! It will be a new experience and you will meet new people, but maybe the first few days will be difficult.

A Scary Dream

One day, I had arranged to meet my friends for a birthday dinner at a restaurant. We were meeting at 9:00 pm in front of the restaurant. At 6:30 pm, I took a shower, finishing at 7:15 pm. I got dressed, straightened my hair, and put on some eye shadow. It was 8:30 pm, and I left to meet my friends.

On the way, I felt that someone was following me, but I didn't stop. Suddenly, I saw a dog, and it reminded me that I hadn't fed my dog! So I returned home quickly and gave it food, then I went to the restaurant.

When I was walking, I felt again that someone was following me. This time I was scared, so I walked faster, but it was useless. Someone grabbed my arm tightly and threw me down. He hurt me badly, but I could handle it. I remember that he told me to give him everything I had. I was terrified. Suddenly, someone hit him, and his head hit the ground. The thief fell unconscious.

If that person hadn't helped me, I wouldn't be alive.

Then, I woke up and, fortunately, it had just been a bad dream! I wish it were only a nightmare!

A New Good Job

Dear Mrs. Adams,

I would like to apply for the position of translator as advertised in the "ABC" newspaper on November 12th.

I am nineteen years old and I am a student at Jaume I University, pursuing a degree in Primary Education. I am currently also studying for a degree in English philology. I am Spanish, but my father is French and my mother is English, so I am fluent in English and French.

For the last year, I have been working in a café, and in my free time, I have been taking care of young children.

I get on well with people generally. I am always cheerful and devoted. I enjoy working with children, and I am very patient.

I am available for an interview any day after 2:00 pm and all day on weekends. When could I start working? Thank you for considering my application.

Yours sincerely,

Inés
