PAQUI & THE BEANS: WE SHALL NEVER SURRENDER

Paqui Bean
I would like to introduce myself. I'm Paqui Bean a member of The Beans family. I was born in Poland and I'm a horse rider. I like my job but I needed to do something different and I joined to my family and we started to travel. We arrived to New York City last year and we are enjoying our last days in this incredible place symbol of migrations, effort and survival. We're also survivors because we had a terrible experience when a boat sank and we had to be rescued from the Hudson River. Now, we're preparing to visit Atlantic City and New Jersey before staying some days in Washington, DC.

The family is learning English and we're working very hard to arrive to our objectives with the help of The Grandma, a bored rich old woman who one day decided to buy a family because she felt alone. 

Everyday, The Grandma explains some grammar and some stories to help us to create compositions and practise listenings. It's not easy for us but we're doing a good job and we have a motto: We shall never surrender.

Today, we have done some exercises about Present Continuous, Air Travel Vocabulary and Connectors before receiving the visit of MJ who has been talking to us about our future exam. We're very excited with it.

The Grandma has explained us how history has shown us the importance of civil resistance in wars. From the War of the Austrian, the Civil War or the WWII, the cities have been the objectives os¡f the bombs, so the people could only survive with refuges. 

Now, there are movements of neighbours who want to protect the refuges in Barcelona city.

She has been talking about the same spirit of resistance in different ages in different places but with the same motto: We shall never surrender

This is also our motto in this travel, because as Leonard Da Vinci said "the noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding".

Welcome to my family and enjoy with us the rest of our travel across The USA.


Continuous effort, not strength or intelligence,
is the key to unlocking our potential. 

Winston Churchill
