Wonderfully crafted story.... getting some new ideas for planning real life...

[@pierrelaplace2166]

11.30 I never heard " remember about". As I am a beginner, I may be wrong, so I quickly checked on internet et couldn't find any utterance of this expression

[@LovelyEnglishStories]

@@pierrelaplace2166 Hi Pierre! It’s quite a common expression used in colloquial language. The sentence also makes sense without “about” so it could also read “she remembered her interview at the corporation in London” and it means the same thing. However, as this is an advanced story, we like to add in colloquial language too 😊

English is very intersing and it's the most beatiful language

[@Vivaldi3]

It's the most important language, but not the most beautiful one.
I believe Arabic is more deep and coherent.

[@Crisguay]

Thank you so much for such a lovely story.... I truly believe everyone has the place of their dreams. My dream is coming true right now. After many years of dreaming about it I'm inmersed in the construction of a house in my small mountain village... It's almost a reality! I'm looking forward to living there!
