Workaway project

Hello,

I'm Mélodie, I'm 29 years old and I'm from a small town located in the northeast of France, near Nancy and about 250 miles away from Paris.

I would like to offer my help with your bar/restaurant and also, discovering Irish culture in order to learn more about Ireland.

I would define myself as an ambitious, friendly, and energetic person. My qualities and cheerful demeanor will be a major asset for you.

I like sharing good times with people and exchanging cultures and discussing various topics.... and it would be a good way for me to improve my English skills and especially my speaking skills (I am currently at the pre-intermediate/intermediate level).

I worked as a manager for 3 years at many camps with children aged between 3 and 14 years old. Now, I've changed course and I would like to working in the field of tourism later. That's the reason I need to both to develop my language skills and my experience!

I've already worked as a catering employee/dishwasher at a summer job. I was also lucky to work 3 weeks at a campsite where I had different kinds of tasks such as: cleaning the mobile-homes, welcoming tourists, preparing breakfasts and sometimes, serving lunches.

I think your establishment will allow me to learn many skills in the restaurant service work and improve my speaking skills.

After this experience, I hope to find a job in Ireland to continue my progress.

I'm available from the 11th of November to the 22nd of December (but I am flexible).

Please let me know if you need more information.

Thank you for your consideration.

Regards

Mélodie

Teenagers and housework

This is homework.

Could someone correct this entry, please?

Thank you very much.

Should teenagers and young people share housework with their parents?

Notes:

1- Introduction: Most parents think teenagers should share housework.

2- Who has more time for housework.

3- Young people spend time on computer games instead of sharing housework. The solution will be a rota.

4- Conclusion.

Most parents say that their sons and daughters should do a portion of the housework like setting the table, making their bed and picking up their books or clothes. Some parents get their children do those chores, but many others don't. Children say that they have a lot of homework so they don't have time for housework.

On the other hand, it is true that teenagers and young people usually have homework and activities after school and consequently, they don't have much time to do chores. Also, parents think that if their children have to do homework or to study for an exam, they shouldn't spend time on housework. What is more, young people say that they aren't very good at doing housework and their mother does housework better and faster than they can.

On the other hand, young people have time for computer games, Whatsapp or other social networks. They claim that they are very young, so they need free time for fun. However, parents need to relax after working and for that reason it is very important to share housework.

One solution could be to make a rota where each one involves on some chores and compromise to achieve.

In conclusion, it's a sensitive issue which many times annoy parents and children, but if we cooperate, everyone should be able to enjoy their free time!

The book didn't lie open

In the morning, while I was busy preparing to go to work, I found a book on the floor, which I almost tripped over it. As I wanted to find where I should put it back later, I picked up the book which appeared to have fallen down on the floor from somewhere on my bookshelf and I lightly threw it on my messy desk. And as I finished getting ready to go to work, I scrambled to leave home. At night, when I got back home and got to the desk to tidy the mess on it, I was amazed to see how the book was. From what I remembered, it wasn't laying open when I put it down on my desk, but it was surely open. That was impossible unless someone came home and opened it. When it occurred to me that there wasn't anyone who knew my apartment door password and no one could have touched the book, I felt scared.
