Hi, nice to meet you!

I introduce my-self : I’m fine and the weather is sunny!
And you, how old are you?

My name is Jérôme and I’m forty-one years old.
I come from France and I live in a little town named La Chapelle de Guinchay.
It’s near Lyon, in the East of France.
I have been learning English for 3 months to improve my vocabulary and conversations for my job.
And also, I would like to improve my listening skills to watch series and films in English (original version).

I am divorced and I have two daughters : Lucile, 11 and Leonie, 9.
And what about you?

About my job, I am an engineering manager, in a company named Vivlio. We develop ebook-readers, like Amazon Kindle.
And you, what do you do for a living?

In my spare time, I learn english :-) I like to drive around with my moto, go to the cinema and restaurant.

It could have career benefits you never imagined.
Taking the leap can be daunting, but you'll face challenges and pick up skills that will turn you into a desirable employee.
I had a lot of good times working abroad - teaching English in Germany and working on summer camps in France and Spain - but I didn't realise that I was also building valuable skills for my career.
Employers really value those with international experience.
Katie Bateman, a careers advisor at the University of Gloucestershire, says it can set you apart form a crowd of other applicants.
'Graduates can learn another language and prove just how adaptable they are by embracing change and learning to adjust to a different culture,' she says.
there are many places where you can find work overseas. Sami Khalaf, 28, a graduate in business and tourism from Plymouth University, worked for a travel agency, Backpackers World Travel, based at Googee Beach in Australia. He specialised in gap year travel consulting.
'Working in Australia for a year was such a fundamental part of my degree,' he says. 'It gave me experience and confidence'.
Lots of young people are also choosing to work in Europe. Beth Walrond, 23, a freelance illustrator working in Berlin after graduating with a degree in illsutration from Falmouth University, is glad she made the move.
'I wanted to live independently in order to force myself to make a living from illustration,' she says. Walrond points out that English fluency can be an advantage when working abroad.

The legend of Sleepy Hollow is the dark tale of a headless horseman and a school teacher.
When Ichabod Crane arrived to the quiet town of Tarry Town, he didn't know what was going to happen to him.
He was teaching at school when he met the beautiful Katrina.
She invited him at a Halloween party and as he was getting
ready he was thinking about Katrina and not about Brom Van Brunt, his
rival in Katrina's heart.
Something went wrong after Brom had told the story of the Headless
horseman at the party: as he was returning home Ichabod heard the sound of a horse. He was feeling more and more scared as the horse was closer to him, then he saw the dark figure and…………………
