More quotes from Geo
Hi teacher! Here are the quotes, I don't remember which exactly I gave to you, but there are ones of my favourite, thanks for publishing them :) xoxo, GC.
"If there's just one piece of advice I can give you, it's this - when there's something you really want, fight for it, don't give up no matter how hopeless it seems. And when you've lost hope, ask yourself if 10 years from now, you're gonna wish you gave it just one more shot. Because the best things in life, they don't come free."
"Change; we don’t like it, we fear it, but we can't stop it from coming. We either adapt to change or we get left behind. And it hurts to grow, anybody who tells you it doesn’t is lying. But here's the truth... The more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes change is good. Sometimes, change is everything."
"Everyone thinks it’s so romantic, Romeo and Juliet, true love, how sad. If Juliet was stupid enough to fall for the enemy, drink the bottle of poison, and go to sleep in a mausoleum, she deserved whatever she got."

To be read!
Thanks Georgina C. from pre-first- Iatel- for sharing your favourite quotes with me!
I couldn't agree more with this one!!The photo is mine- Venice February 2009!
We don't get unlimited chances to have the things that we want, and this you know. Nothing is worse than missing an opportunity that could have changed your life.
So LOVE the people who treat you right.
FORGET about the ones who don't , and BELIEVE that everything happens for a reason (YES!!!) .
If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it . Nobody said that it'd be easy; they just promised it would be worth it. Eventually feels a lot better than actually.

Favourite room
Thanks Marila (CLEC) for sharing such a nice composition. Keep on writing!
MY FAVOURITE ROOM
My favourite room in my house, of course, is my bedroom. I don’t know why but it’s the place which I like best. Perhaps because it’s very light and cosy and I have all my things there: my books, my notebook, my TV, it’s not only where I sleep but it’s also the place where I love to stay.
When I was young I lived in a house and my favourite room was the kitchen where all the family came together, but now my children have grown up and most of the time I’m alone with my puppy I love lying in my bed with the notebook on my lap chatting with friends or looking for a page on the Internet.
So what’s this room look like? It’s small but not too much, it has a double bed, which is the local point of the room. When my best friend comes we love lazing and putting the world to rights! There’s a French window leading into a balcony which overlooks the corner of the street 3 de Febrero and Balcarse. Almost always that window is open.
There’s a chest of drawers where are a lot of photographs of my family and memories of every place I have travelled to, of course, the most important object is a present given to me by my boyfriend last year. It’s a small box which he had bought in Bs As and I love it.
I don’t spend a lot of time in my apartment but when I’m in it and if my children stay at home they come to my bedroom and we share our time in my bedroom talking and relaxing.

“A Journey of a Lifetime” - FCE consolidation
Thanks Eduardo P. for sharing this composition. Lovely! And good luck on Saturday!
When I started on the Journey, I had no idea what was going to happen.
What began as a short trip ended up as a lifetime story.
It was June 2nd when I first arrived at Edinburgh Airport.
I checked in at a cheap hostel called “backpackers” and then I began to wander with the idea of seeing the city. I came across an old red-bearded man. We started to talk and soon it was almost midnight. We said goodbye and split in opposite directions.
As days went by, I visited each recommended place worthseeing in the city. I was dazzled by its history, battles and by the whisky culture. Although I enjoyed every moment, I knew that something was missing.
On my last day in the city, I was walking to the Airport and there he was. Still as a Greek Monument, staring at me. He approached me and said: “Stay, you won’t regret it”. And he faded away.
So I listened to him. And here I am. 30 years later, married to my beautiful Scottish wife, with 3 children and retired.
Some will call it “chance”. I prefer to call it “Fate”
