馃摪 B2-Level Article: A Journey Through Scotland
Last summer, I visited Scotland, a country I had always dreamed of
exploring. My trip began in Edinburgh, where I stayed near the historic
Royal Mile. I could see the famous castle from my hotel window, and I
thought, “I should spend more time here.” The city was full of history
and culture, and I realized I might have missed many interesting places
if I hadn’t walked through its narrow streets.
After a few days, I took a bus north to visit Loch Ness. I
didn’t spot the monster, but I could have taken a boat trip to search
for it. Unfortunately, the weather was terrible, and I shouldn’t have
forgotten my raincoat. Still, the landscape was impressive, and I
understood why people say Scotland is so mysterious.
Finally, I travelled through the Highlands, where the mountains
were breathtaking. The guide told us we had to follow safety
instructions carefully, especially while hiking. At one point, I slipped on a
wet rock, and I thought, “I could have hurt myself badly.” Luckily,
nothing happened, but I learned that in the Highlands you must always be
careful.
When I returned home, I realized I should have stayed longer in
Scotland. There were so many things to see and do, and I promised myself that
one day I would definitely come back.

Lila had been dreaming of the sun-kissed beaches of Bali ever since her last visit two years ago. This year, she meticulously planned her trip, from the quaint guesthouses to the surf lessons she had always wanted to try. The night before her departure, she packed her bags with colorful swimsuits and a stack of books, her heart racing with anticipation. But as the clock struck midnight, a sudden storm swept through her town, bringing fierce winds and heavy rain. By morning, the news was grim: her flight had been canceled due to severe weather.
Determined not to let disappointment ruin her spirit, Lila scrambled to rebook her flight, but every option seemed to slip away like grains of sand through her fingers. Frustration mounted as she watched others around her secure their tickets, each successful traveler deepening her sense of loss. She spent hours on the phone with airlines, hoping for a miracle, only to face the same answer: no available seats for days. As the storm raged outside, Lila felt trapped in her own home, the walls closing in like a cage, while the paradise she longed for remained tantalizingly out of reach.
In a moment of surrender, Lila decided to embrace her situation. Instead of sulking, she transformed her living room into a mini-Bali retreat, complete with tropical fruits, her favorite playlists, and a colorful sarong draped over the couch. Friends joined her for a weekend of homemade "Bali" dishes, laughter, and stories of their own travel dreams. As they sipped coconut water from mismatched glasses and shared tales of adventure, Lila realized that even if she couldn’t physically be in Bali, she could create her own slice of paradise, right where she was.
But as the weeks went by, Lila couldn’t shake her yearning to return to Bali. Each sunset, each gentle breeze reminded her of the island’s beauty, fueling her determination to make it back. She spent her evenings researching the best times to visit, saving diligently, and imagining herself on the shores again. With a new sense of purpose, Lila vowed that this year, come what may, she would board that plane and find her way back to the destination that held her heart. The dream was far from over; it was merely paused, waiting for her return.

馃摌 Reading Text (B2 Level): Living Lasallian Values at Universidad La Salle Canc煤n
馃摌 Reading Text (B2 Level): Living Lasallian Values at University La Salle Cancun
At University La Salle Cancun, education is not just about academic achievement. It also
focuses on forming responsible, ethical, and compassionate individuals. This
mission is inspired by the life and teachings of Saint John Baptist de La
Salle, who founded the Lasallian educational movement over 300 years ago.
Lasallian
values are more than words on paper — they guide student behavior and campus
culture. The five core values are faith, service, fraternity, justice, and commitment.
Faith
means trusting in oneself, others, and in the process of learning. It
encourages students to stay positive, believe in their potential, and find
meaning in what they do. It also invites students to develop a spiritual
perspective, regardless of their religious beliefs.
Service
is about using one’s talents to help others. Students participate in community
outreach programs, environmental projects, and activities that promote social
justice. Through service, students understand the importance of empathy and
solidarity.
Fraternity
encourages teamwork and the creation of strong bonds among classmates and
teachers. A sense of belonging and cooperation helps students learn in a
supportive and inclusive environment.
Justice means treating everyone in a fair and equal way. It involves respecting the rights of others, making sure everyone has the same opportunities, and making decisions that help the whole community. At La Salle Cancun, justice is key to building trust and keeping peace on campus.
Commitment
is reflected in everyday actions: attending classes, completing assignments,
and participating in university life. Committed students don’t give up easily —
they take responsibility and strive to grow academically and personally.
These values
are not optional. They are essential for students who aim to become leaders who
care, professionals who act with ethics, and citizens who make a positive
impact on the world.
