offices around the world and 1 meet lots of interesting people.

a few months. The managers weren t very nice and the job was
boring and badly paid. It was very hot in there, too. Terrible!

Guell Park At the end of the nineteenth century, businessman Eusebi

Guell bought a large hill in Barcelona, Spain. The land had no water
and not many trees, but Guell asked Antoni Gaudi, an artist and
'
architect, to design and build a small city with 60 luxury houses and
'
a park. From 1900 to 1914, Gaudi created one of the best-known

and most unusual parks in Europe, with strange-shaped buildings and
colourful sculptures which rise up from the earth. However, only two
houses were built and, because Gaudi's style was not fashionable at the
time, nobody wanted to buy them. Guell died in 1918 and in 1923 his
family gave the park to the city.

The Taj. in the city of Agra on the Yamuna river, is now
