INTRODUCING THE MORGANS (II), CRISTINA MORGAN

Hi, I'm Cristina Morgan. I was born in Heidelberg, Baden-Württemberg and I am a professional heartbreaker.

A few months ago, I discovered that the famous Welsh pirate Henry Morgan was an ancestor of mine and that I had brothers and sisters to meet. Thanks to The Grandma, an Andorran grandmother, who made every effort to locate us, today I know them all and to celebrate this meeting we decided to spend two months together travelling and reviewing our level of English because we have all decided to retire to Kingston, Jamaica, to enjoy the Morgan fortune, and English is its official language.

-Good morning and thanks to attend us.

 

-Good morning. It's an honour.

-What's your full name?

-My full name is Cristina Morgan Engeln.

-How do you spell your second surname?

-E-N-G-E-L-N

-Are you a student? What are you studying?

-No, I'm not a student. I finished my studies a few years ago and now I'm working.

-Are you working? What is your job?

-Yes, I am. I work as a heartbreaker. It's not a traditional job, but people often say that because I meet a lot of people and I have a very outgoing personality.

-Do you like your job? Why?

-Yes, I do. I enjoy meeting new people and having interesting conversations. Every day is different, and I never get bored.

-How long have you lived there?

-I lived there for most of my life. It's a wonderful city, and I always enjoy going back whenever I travel.

-Why are you studying English?

-I'm studying English because it's an international language. It helps me communicate with people from all over the world.

-How long have you been studying English?

-I've been studying English for two months. I started learning it and I try to practise it regularly.

-Tell me about your city.

-Heidelberg is one of the most beautiful cities in Germany. It is famous for its castle, its old town, and its university. Many tourists visit it every year.

-What music do you like?

-I like pop music, indie music, and some electronic music. I enjoy listening to music when I'm travelling or relaxing.

-Can you play any instrument?

-Yes, I can play the piano a little. I'm not an expert, but I enjoy playing simple songs.

-Tell me about your favourite place.

-My favourite place is Heidelberg Castle. The view over the city is amazing, especially at sunset.

-What do you like doing in your free time?

-I enjoy travelling, reading novels, meeting friends, and discovering new cafés. I also like taking long walks near the river.

-Do you practise any sport? Which?

-Yes, I do. I enjoy jogging and yoga because they help me stay healthy and relaxed.

-What do people mean when they call you a heartbreaker?

-They usually mean that I have a friendly personality and that I make a strong impression on people. It's mostly a joke among my friends.

-What is the best thing about meeting new people?

-The best thing is learning about different cultures, experiences, and points of view. I find that very interesting.

-Would you like to live in another country?

-Yes, I would. I think it would be a great opportunity to learn new languages and experience a different way of life.

-What is your dream destination?

-My dream destination is Kingston in Jamaica, because of its beautiful landscapes and outdoor activities.

-How is a normal day with The Morgans?

-We haven't got similar days. Every day is different and this is something very important because it offers to you the possibility of living fantastic experiences every day and you can enjoy them with all your heart because you know that next day you're going to put the score to zero and we're going to start again. It's a non-stopping life.

-Which is your best memory with The Morgans?

-It's difficult to choose only one. I remember when we travelled back in time to the Scottish Highlands to meet Connor MacLeod, a man who was immortal. It was an amazing experience.

-Which is your favourite song?

If I think in my job, I like 'Still loving you' by Scorpions but I am choosing 'Wind of Change', another song by Scorpions. I am German and the fall of the Berlin Wall was a historic and much-desired moment for us.

The wind of change blows straight
Into the face of time
Like a storm wind that will ring
The freedom bell for peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing what my guitar wants to say.

Take me
To the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change.

Scorpions
