Hi Lurdes!!!

Another year I stay in Castelló d'Empúries but this is not a problem. I'm very happy because I'm with good friends in class and I hope have good marks this term.
In one hand, this summer I am working in The Turism Office of Sant Pere Pescador and I also practise a lot my English, French and German. I think it's a nice experience and this helps me a lot to not be nervious in front of people that I don't know.

This year I am very self-confident and I think that I'm a little bit mature.
In the other hand, I'm not in the Office all the day; I go out with my friends to the beach and in the disco. I have the driving licence now but I don't have car. In one week maybe I have one Opel Corsa blue.

Finally, I want to explain to you that in Christmas I am going to work in the library of Sant Pere Pescador for one month and I don't do holidays but I wan't to use the money for gasoline.











Well, I don't have any more to say. Only that I hope that you have a nice week.
A big hug,

Cati Berrocal Julià
