hello everyone
1. Is there anything that you are “sick and tired of”? What is it? Why is it part of your life?
Actually I am sick and tired of the inefficiency of public services. In my country there are always huge problems caused by these basic aspects. If there is water, there is no electricity or vice versa; or no internet. In hospitals, services are a shame. The salary does not exist; the minimum is less than $0.5 per day, if that can be called a salary, of course. This is part of our life in a beautiful and rich country. What a pitty!!
2. No one knows what will happen in the future. Maybe you will have an opportunity to earn a lot of money. If you earn a lot of money in the future, what do you think you will do with the money?
Well, if we don’t want to waste it, we always have to think about how to invest our income. In my case, actually I´d like to invest in the automotive sector.
Thank you Maestro

Discussion Questions.
I am sick and tired of daily chores, weekly chores, monthly chores, and seasonal chores. But it is a duty
or task I am obligated to perform, often unpleasant but necessary.
If I get a huge amount of money, I will spend all money to educate the children of my country. It’s my dream and I won’t let my dream be a dream.
