A cover letter from James Bond applying to be Special Agent 007.

C/O Connections @ St. Martin’s

23rd October 2018
Dear Sir or Madam,
Please consider me for the position of Special Agent
007.
I was educated at Eton College, England and studied
Oriental languages at Cambridge University. As well
as Cantonese, Mandarin and Japanese I speak
French, German and Italian fluently.
I believe the world is heading for disaster if we do
not act fast to save it. In my opinion, the most
important work of all is the safety and security of the world and especially the protection of
our children. However, although a pacifist at heart, I am able to assassinate quickly and
quietly, if needed.
I have served as a British Intelligence Officer since 1998 and have been living and working in
many dangerous environments around the world.
I trained with the Special Boat Service in the UK. As a commando I have served in Iraq,
Afghanistan, and Bosnia where I saved 100 men single-handedly. I also served with the
Special Forces in Indonesia, China and North Korea.
I am fully computer literate and can multi-task, completing many tasks simultaneously. I am
skilled with all types of weapons including machine guns, sub-machine guns, sniper rifles
and pistols. Furthermore, I am an expert in all kinds of martial arts including Judo, Jujitsu
and Kung Fu. In addition, I am a qualified pilot. I can also drive cars and motorbikes very
fast.
In my spare time I enjoy running, swimming, diving, sky diving, skiing, jet skiing and rock
climbing. I also enjoy playing poker.
I attach my C.V for your attention and look forward to hearing from you soon,
Yours sincerely,
James Bond

EP 2. 7 FORMAS DE DECIR “TO BREAK” EN ESPAÑOL

SAN JUAN 3.

Oficialmente conocido como el Mercado Ernesto Pugibet por la calle en la que se encuentra, el clásico Mercado de San Juan puede ser un poco difícil de encontrar. Fue construido en el sitio de la antigua fábrica de cigarros  el Buen Tono y a veces escucharás ese nombre para la Plaza San Juan. El mercado y la plaza se llaman así por el nombre cristianizado del vecindario, “San Juan Moyotlan“.  Moyotlan es el nombre náhuatl del vecindario  más antiguo de Tenochtitlan que significaba “vecindario de mosquitos.”

El mercado de San Juan es más famoso por vender alimentos “gourmet” lo cual en México significa que son alimentos importados y europeos. De hecho, en el mercado no hay  dificultades para encontrar alimentos enlatados y en conserva y una excelente selección de quesos y carnes estilo “deli”.  El mercado también es uno de los favoritos entre muchos de los restauranteros más exclusivos de la Ciudad. Puedes encontrar todo tipo de productos de otros estados de México, además de algunas cosas de Europa, Asia y América.

A menudo lo más impresionante para los visitantes son los puestos de fruta y verduras donde la producción suele ser más limpia y brillante que en mercados similares lo que los convierte en puestos ideales para realizar excelentes fotos.  Los fines de semana, es posible que el mercado esté realmente lleno de invitados internacionales y de otras ciudades.

Originalmente era un mercado temporal para vendedores desplazados por una reorganización de los mercados de la ciudad en 1933.  Este sitio solía ser un almacén para la fábrica de cigarros del Buen Tono. La iglesia del Buen Tono a la vuelta de la esquina en la Plaza de San Juan es todo lo que queda de esa que, alguna vez, fue una importante fábrica local.
