Practise your English

How hard is it to improve your English when you live in a hostel with 95% of French people!!! But I wont stay a long time here. Basicly I will rent a room above the pub and live with Australia, South Africa and New Zeland people! At the moment I watch TV... Maybe too much! Whatever, I learnt a lot of "new words" for example: "fella", "dunno", "still" (water) and some expressions like "you crack". I bought a book called "The Bloody Chamber" but I haven't started readding it yet. I don't really improve my English at work cause I always repeat the same things:
Hi!
Do you want a glass?
With ice and lime?
Something else?
With your fish and chips would you like some peas? Mushy peas?
Do you want an extra of bacon? of burger? of cheese? of oignon rings?
How do you prefer your meat?
Do you want an extra pudding?
Where are you sit?
OK it's £XX
Your change
Thank you!
Next, Hi!
The ladies are downstair and the gentles are upstair. (loo)

A few weeks in London

So after 3 week-ends walking in Southampton to apply for a job and one more week, finally I decided that I couldn't stay longer in Southampton cause it's definitely hopeless. So let's try in London!

So first, I went to the Centre Charles Peguy and paid £60 to have an access to their advert and to ameliorate my resume. Then I went to the Dolphin Inn. Their is a hostel part. I met my roommates. We were 6 in the room. It's quite a lot, espacially in a little room! There's a nice living-room downstair and a kitchen. I was really surprized cause there's a lot of French people in this hostel! Finally they told me that they came with the local mission and there is a kind of arrangement with this hostel. It's not really good to improve my English...

Concerning my application for a job... Every advert the french Centre gave me were obsolete and I paid for that! You may imagine how angry I am. So I decided to find a job myself. I spend a few days walking in London with my CVs and I distributed a lot of it! But in fact it's not that easy to find a job in London and you need a little bit of luck... That's what happened to me! I met Amelie in the hostel, a very nice girl from Quebec! One day she was with Luc, her friend, and I told him that I was looking for a job and he told me that he is the duty manager of the pub closed to the hostel. So he suggested me to go to the pub the following day with my CV. He explained me that for the moment they were not looking for someone. Then one week later they called me to have a training and finally... I've got the job!!! So I'm the new waitress of The Fountains Abbey!
