         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>PERSONAL MESSAGE</strong></div><div><br>Hi there!</div><div><br>As you know, I’m Nicola and I’m going to be your teacher this year.</div><div><br>I don’t think many of you know me, so here’s some basic information…</div><div><strong><br>FAMILY</strong></div><div><br>I was born in Bristol, in the south-west of England, but grew up in the north of England, in a village in Yorkshire, between Leeds and York. I’ve lived in Spain for 25 years now and this year I got Spanish citizenship!</div><div><br>I have a very old family, as neither I nor my siblings have children. In fact, out of 8 cousins on my mother’s side of the family, only one cousin has children – weird I know! And boring too, especially at Christmas! Luckily I have a goddaughter and she and her brother have become my substitute niece and nephew!&nbsp;</div><div><br>I’m the youngest of four sisters. My sisters all live in the UK, but we usually see each other once or twice a year and keep in touch frequently.</div><div><strong><br>JOB/STUDIES</strong></div><div><br>I’ve been teaching English as a Foreign Language to adults on and off for around 30 years now and I’ve taught in France, Germany, Turkey and the UK, as well as in Spain. For many years I taught at the Official Language School in Torrejón de Ardoz. This is my second year working in Alcalá and I love the school!</div><div><br>I’ve also worked in other fields, as well as teaching: as the manager of a second-hand bookshop and in administrative jobs as a secretary, receptionist and mortgage processor..</div><div><strong><br>INTERESTS/PASSIONS/HOBBIES</strong></div><div><br>I guess one of the many reasons why I like teaching English is because I’ve always loved travelling, learning languages and getting to know other cultures – ever since I first started learning French at the age of 12!</div><div><br>As a result, I’ve become hooked on <a href="https://www.duolingo.com/">Duolingo</a>, which I used to do on my mobile on the bus to Torrejón. I’m trying to learn Portuguese at the moment. I’m not sure how much I’m learning, but it’s fun and it keeps my brain working – I hope!</div><div><br>As well as learning languages, I also love music and have recently taken it up again after many years not doing anything. I sing in <a href="https://coro-univ-alcala.web.uah.es/">the choir of the University of Alcalá</a> and this year I also joined <a href="http://www.grupovocalnuba.es/">Nuba</a>, a group of women singers.</div><div><strong><br>PLANS, OBJECTIVES, AMBITIONS (you can include your objectives for the English course here!)</strong></div><div><br>I’m not very good at getting up in the morning, so I want to get better and get up earlier to go to yoga classes and swimming.</div><div><br>I’d also like to learn to play the guitar – a lifelong ambition. Maybe this will be the year that I wipe the dust off my guitar case and start to have lessons!</div><div><strong><br>FINAL MESSAGE</strong></div><div><br>I look forward to reading your personal profiles, including information about why you’re doing this English course. Please post your profile on <a href="b2-1e-personal-profiles-bhxdjzobvuzu">the class padlet</a> and it would be great if you could add a photo. Like me you could add hyperlinks too if you like! Thanks!</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Hello, I'm speaking about me....</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>FAMILY</strong></p><p>I was born in Málaga, but I left 30 years ago and lived in different places because I  wanted to get to know other places, people and culture.  I lived in Madrid, Almeria, and Paris for 10 years.</p><p>I've been living in Alcala since 2000, and my family is here. I have 3 children, one of them has been living in Paris for 3 years, and the others are in Alcalá, only for the moment.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I love sun, beach, eating fish and dancing sevillanas, so I hope to retire in a village close to the sea in a future.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>JOB/STUDIES</strong></p><p>I studied Psychology in Málaga, and I  specialised&nbsp; in business, so I studied Human Research, and Health and Safety.</p><p>I've worked to Leroy Merlin 26 years ago.</p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><p><strong>PASSION HOBBIES</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Well for the moment I don`t have a lot of time for hobbies, but I try to do gym, to dance sevillanas every week, and I like play cards (Mus).

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Hello, I´m Sandra. Nice to meet you!&nbsp;</p><p><br/></p><p>FAMILY&nbsp;</p><p><br/></p><p>I´ve live in Alcalá de Henares since I was five but I was born in Madrid. I have one brother and one sister both younger than me. In Madrid I lived with my mother´s grandparents. They were very special for me, especially my grandmother whom I loved very much…we had a very nice relationship. Unfortunately they passed away several years ago and I miss them a lot.&nbsp; I love my three boys:&nbsp; my two sons and my lovely husband.&nbsp;</p><p><br/></p><p>JOB/STUDIES&nbsp;</p><p><br/></p><p>First I studied a vocational training in administration but I realized that what I liked the most was Maths so when I finished I decided to change and I began to study COU of science (now It would be similar to second of bachillerato). But that year for my surprise I discovered the Biology… I fall in love with the molecular and cellular biology and I changed again and I decided to study a Bachelor Degree in Biology followed by a PhD in Immunology. Nowadays I work as a postdoctoral researcher in a biomedical research institute in the rheumatology unit. I feel lucky since I work in what I like although I´d be desirable that public organizations invest more money in research.&nbsp;</p><p><br/></p><p>INTERESTS/PASSIONS/HOBBIES&nbsp;</p><p><br/></p><p>Though I love staying at home I like to do several things. For example I love dancing and I attend  salsation classes three times per week. Likewise I love swimming and I try to go to swimming-pool at least once per week. I always enjoy a good and funny conversation with a friend. I am very sociable but sometimes I also need to be alone doing things that I like such as studying because of my work.&nbsp;</p><p><br/></p><p>PLANS, OBJECTIVES, AMBITIONS&nbsp;</p><p><br/></p><p>My main aim for this year is to improve my English…I´d like to be able to give talks in English fluently.. I currently have some limitations because I have to think what I want to say and I´m going in slow motion talking, so this is my objective.&nbsp; Finally I´d like to share with you that for my birthday some friends of mine gave me a tarot deck because I have always liked and been attracted to exoteric themes…something curious for a scientist like me!.&nbsp; Maybe by combining the two activities I will be able to guess the future in English!!&nbsp;</p><p><br/></p><p>Have a nice course!&nbsp;</p><p><br/></p>]]></description>

I've recently come of age. I’ve two siblings, one brother and one sister. My parents and us use to travel every year to a different country. The reason why we travel a lot is because we have a mobile home. I usually visit my grandparents because they live close to me. Thanks to them I’ve got two villages, not so close, where I go at least one week every summer.</div><div><br><strong>JOB/STUDIES<br></strong><br></div><div>The previous year I finished my high school studies, after that I passed the Evau exam. This is my first year at the university and I’m studying law at the moment. I think I’m going to like it, but I don’t know yet.<br><br></div><div><strong>INTERESTS/PASSIONS/HOBBIES<br></strong><br></div><div>Since I was little I used to like doing sports. I was on different basketball teams for twelve years. In addition, five years ago, I started at a scouts group. Three times every year we camp in different places. In summer we do a fifteen-day camp where we sleep in tents. I have so many friends there and I liked it so much. That’s one of the reasons why I became a monitor this year. That's why I can’t continue with basketball this course, because I have to spend more time on that.</div><div><br><strong>PLANS/OBJECTIVES/AMBITIONS<br></strong><br></div><div>I want to improve my English. I know it’s necessary and very useful for my future. I also want to finish my studies with good grades.

         <description><![CDATA[<pre>Hello everybody! Here you have a little text about me.
<br></pre><div>Family<br><br>I was born in Brasov, a beautiful city in Transilvania, Rumania. My parents came to Spain when I was five years old, so I have been here for most<br>of my life already. As for my family, they are dispersed in many countries in Europe, I have uncles here in Alcala de Henares, others in Rome, and others<br>in a town near Dublin, so I have a very good reason to travel to thease countries. Although not all is good, because relations with a big part of my<br>family have cooled because of the distance. Although the last winter I had the opportunity to travel to Rome and visit my family there, that I hadn't seen for 10 years!<br><br>Job/Studies<br><br>About my studies, I haven't highlighted for been a good student, in fact, I repeated several years of ESO, but I went on to complete my baccalaureate. After finish it, with<br>nineteen years old I started my working life, I had several jobs, like in Madrid-Barajas Airport, in Amazon... This kind of jobs make me thought and realize that is not what I<br>wanted. So I started to be autodidact, learning about software development. Then I tried to get into a Superior Grade of Software Development but due to the large number of people who<br>enrolled and the limited places I could not enter. Frustrated I decided to continue being autodidact, and that's what I did, learning in the meantime while working. One day I received a<br>scholarship in a private Master/Bootcamp where I can make my dream come true!, to become a Software Developer. Now I am in a French company as a Software Developer and Application Manager<br>working for a important company which is Cepsa!<br><br>Interests/Passions/Hobbies<br><br>Since I was child I like videogames, but lately I don't have to much time to enjoy of them, because I dedicated the most part of my free time to others hobbies like go to the gym or keep learning<br>of software development, because in this world you can't stop to studying and updating your knowledge. Another passion is travel, each time when I have free days I try to travel and see the world.<br>Lastly, I am starting in the world of reading, and I like it but it is something that is hard for me, because I have tried many times to get into this habit and I have abandoned it. But I think that<br>is important because I consider that I can learn a lot from the books.<br><br>Plans/Objectives/Ambitions<br><br>One of my goals made me sign up for English classes, and my goal is to learn enough english to be able to speak fluently with people from other countries. Because I would like to be freelancer, and work<br>for foreign companies without being hired as an employee, and make my own projects. Because it is a risky and ambitious plan, my main goal is to be able to buy a house with my girlfriend<br>and stabilize in a place where we are both happy.</div><div><br></div>]]></description>
