Paola had applied a place on a Psychology Course at a British University, but she was aware her low level of English and anxious meeting the language requirements of the course.
Consequently, she decided to do an English Course first. At first she wanted to study in London. This was her dream. But then she thought about the expense and disadvantages studying in a noisy, polluted city and the attractions and advantages learning English in Brighton, a town which her friends described as London-by-the-sea.
Her first problem was that she didn't have any money, but her parents agreed her plan and decided to help her. They gave her some money. This was an allowance her course fees and living expenses. It was not enough to cover Paula's appetite for discos, pubs, night clubs and casinos.
Paola's second problem was Alberto, her very jealous boyfriend. She had often argued him her plan to study at a British University. On one occasion, Paola became so angry him and Alberto became so annoyed her that they started to fight on the pavement outside an Italian night club. In fact, Alberto accused her being unfaithful to him and she broke his nose. They were both ashamed their behaviour for about a week.
Paola had never lived apart her family. Her parents had exercised some form of control. Alberto apologised his accusations, but he was still afraid her life-style. She was accustomed dancing with many friends in expensive night clubs.
She had great admiration any young man who could dance like Michael Jackson and Alberto had two left feet! At the same time, he felt closely attached her. Since he wasn't able dance well, he was aware the danger of losing her and was very anxious what would happen if she was away Italy for as long as four years.
She only had to speak to the doorman at a club to ask one of her favourite dance partners and Alberto would go crazy! Such was his affection her!
Although Alberto was a little older than Paola, she was ahead him in terms of maturity. She finally applied a course at the ELC as well as her course in Psychology and persuaded Alberto that according Sigmund Freud, absence made the heart grow fonder.
Finally, Alberto learnt never to trust psychologists. Paola was absent him for the rest of her life because she fell in love with her English teacher, who could dance better than Michael Jackson, and never returned to Italy. Alberto was astonished her change of heart, but wasn't able do anything about it.
