    2- Madeira is an island from Portugal. Portuguese is the language.
    3- I definitely would like to visit Madeira, it seems to be a beautiful island. I like going to the beach, so I would love to visit the island.
    4- No, I wouldn’t like to live on an Island, I like living on a Capital City because you have a lot of opportunities and things to do, the Islands are to small, and you have limited thing to do there.
    5- If I lived there I imagine I would work at the beach. maybe as a waitress in a restaurant or a juice bar. Also if I had some free time I would practice some water sports.

    Searching on Google it is on Portugal.

    I imagine that is very peaceful and quiet, so I would enjoy the landscape at the beginning but then I would get bored. Maybe the firsts days I would take pleasure in the beach but if I would leave there I would have to work there, so you wouldn’t enjoy everytime.

  15. 1- Have you ever heard of Madeira?
    - I had not heard of Madeira, until I saw this video.

    2- Find out where it is
    -I looked it up on google maps, and it turned out to be an island in Portugal.

    3- Would you like to go there?
    - For what I saw in the video, I will definitely go there, it looks amazing.

    4- Would you like to live on an island?
    I would very much like to live on that island; the people look friendly and very nice, it seems to be a quiet place, away from all the annoying noises of the big cities.

    5- How do you imagine your life there? What would you do?
    I would like to build and little store at the beach and sell all the necesary stuff for surfing or for swiming under water. I would enjoy the quiet life and get to know as much people as I can because i like to feel like we are all a big family, and that happens really often when it comes to little communities.
