           This  project  was  very  important  for  my  language  skills  because  I  

improved  my  French,  Spanish  and  above  all  English.              I  had  the  pleasure  to  meet  friendly  people,  who  gave  me  life  lessons  

and  advice  about  the  world  of  work.  

     

     

         A  huge  thanks  goes  to  my  classmates,  with  which  during  this  month,  I  spent  funny  and  beaufful  moments!
