First composition

This summer I have worked as a swimming pool’s vigilant. I worked from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. I have really worked a lot. I started to work on 11th juny and I finished 11th September. But in the swimming pool I have met a lot Spanish and French friend. Also I have met very old friends, who told me very funny stories about the owners of the houses that pertain in the swimming pool. In my work I had holiday on Tuesday and on Thursday. These days I went fish, to play football…
My problem was that the Saturdays I went to disco, these nights I went to the bed at about 6 a.m. and I only slept two or three hours.
This summer has been well but I have work too. So this summer has been the first time that I have work in all my life.
