MY PERSONAL PROFILE.

 Hello to anyone who is reading this.

My name is Mar Montes. I’m from Aguilar de Campoo, which is in Palencia, but I’ve been living in Cantabria for the last thirty years. I studied, found a job, bought a house and my children were born here.

When I was at school I studied French because everybody did that in those years, but I was always sure that English would be the language of the future so, when I started my degree to work as a teacher, I enrolled in the group studying to be an English teacher.

When I finished my studies I lived in England for a year as an au-pair girl. Once I came back, I became a civil servant after working in a private school for three months and after studying a lot to pass the usual exams.

I’m really happy teaching English but each year I experience a bigger gap between the children and me. I feel they’re used to learning in a different way. Although I try to learn to use new technologies in my lessons I find it extremely difficult because it changes faster than my capacity to learn.

In my free time I like to be with my two children, my husband, with my dogs, my relatives and my friends.  I love dancing, travelling and trekking. I try to travel abroad at least once a year and to spend as much time as I can outside my house and my village, but if I have to stay in I never feel bored because I always have many different things to do.

That’s a bit about me, thanks for paying attention to my essay.
