           A medieval castle - that floats?

Many travellers have heard of Mont St-Michel, the fortified medieval monastery perched on an island in Normandy, France, that you can walk to when the tide is out. More surprising is that England has its own version: St Michael’s Mount, located half a mile south off the Cornish coast. At low tide, you can walk from the mainland village of Marazion to the island and its medieval castle.

(2NI) Dream Jobs

Some teenagers know what they want to do after leaving high school, and others don't really know. At the moment, I really want to be a chef, but a year ago, I wanted to be a computer expert.

 During teen years you find yourself, and you find what you want to do with your life, not always, but it's true in most cases. 

I "had" many "dream jobs" in my life. At first, I wanted to be a fooball player, but I'm 18 now, and I'm not in any successful football teams. Then, I wanted to be a computer expert, but you have to know a lot about maths, and I don't know much of anything, but I still love working with computers and I learn a lot of things about them. 

And now, I want to be a chef because I'd love to do this job, and I'm good at it, I think.          (S. R. 2ni)

When I was a child I always had on my mind many jobs that in the future I would like to do. 

At first, my main idea was to be a famous actor in TV soap operas. That was because my grandmother liked watching them. Then, I decided to be a story-teller who goes from city to city telling fairy tales to small kids in exchange for smiles on their faces. 

And finally, I chose "the healthy way", to be a nurse that sells health to help ill people.

At the moment, I am preparing for my dream job, so I'm looking forward to finishing my studies to start my work life. (O. H. 2ni)

(2NI) Work

When you finish your studies, you want to work in something that you like. As I finished studying designing, I only wanted to work in a big company, painting the designs of their items. 

But it was so difficult I decided to look for another job. I worked  as a stewardess for about 10 years and it was so much fun to visit so many countries that I'll never forget those experiences.

Later, when I was a mum, I had to be at home so I had to look for another job I could do near my babies. I started to work as a designer and it was not a good experience; too many hours sitting down was very boring.            (C. S. 2NI)

(2NB) My last holiday

I went to Granada last summer with my boyfriend but I didn't like it very much. I prefer to visit Majorca because it's more beautiful than Granada. In Majorca there are a lot of beaches and you can have a swim in the sea.

This summer I'm going to Paris. Paris is bigger than Majorca and I want to visit this city although there isn't a beach. In Paris I'm going to visit my friends so I'm going to stay in their house. Paris is more expensive than my city so I have to save a lot of money. 

I'm going to buy a lot of presents for my family and friends. I hope  we are having a really good time.

(2NB) Superlatives

Welcome to Palencia!

Palencia is the most beautiful city in Castilla y León. If you want to visit it, you can go to the Cathedral. It’s the best Gothic Cathedral in Spain.

For lunch or dinner, you can go to the restaurant “Casa Lucio”. It’s the nicest place to eat typical food, but it’s the most expensive restaurant too.

The most interesting place is “Cristo del Otero”. It’s the highest place in Palencia and you can see all the city from there.
