1. If you were to go on a holiday now, where would you want to go? Where is your dream destination?
I really like Asia so I would choose any country on the South East Asia for example, also because we are in winter and I miss the summer. My dream destination is a country, with a different language and culture, good weather, and nice people. I think when you are on holiday, the trip is not just visiting monuments, for me, it is to experience a new place.
2. Would you ever consider packing up and leaving your current career to go on a permanent vacation in your dream destination?
Yes, a lot of times, and also when I am on holiday, I dream about living there for a while. It is true that in the real life is difficult to find the right moment, but I don’t discard the option.
3. Have you experienced living in another country for at least a year?
Yes, I lived in London for one year and a half 12 years ago and it was a very good experience for different reasons: I improved the language, I met a lot of people and I learned to survive in a totally different country.

We appreciate your efforts in doing this exercise. You can write well.

See how you can write this one a bit better:

I really like Asia so I would choose any country on the South East Asia for example, also because we are in winter and I miss the summer.

I really like Asia so I would choose any country in South East/Southeast Asia. for example, I’m also probably thinking of this because we are currently in winter at the moment and I guess I just really miss the summer.

Looking forward to hearing from you more.
