It was Paul’s idea to have a small get-together a have an evening of talking all over old times. All of his friends like the idea, especially Brian who came back from his home town only a week ago. The trip was very special to him. He wandered through the park in the center of the tow and remembered the days when he used to walk through the same park with his first girlfriend.
When you are young and willing to conquer the world, you seldom doubt that all your dreams will come true. Unlike most of her classmates Greta has never let her imagination run away with her. She never wanted to be an astronaut, a movie star, or a fashion model. Her childhood dream was to become a librarian. Since the time she learnt to read Greta has been fanatical about books. They were a constant source of wonder and amazement to her. Books helped her to discover a lot of interesting things about the world around her.
Oh gosh! What a disappointing match! Will they ever score a goal? Paul has been watching the game for about an hour but he's nearly dropped off. What has come over his favourite team which hate always seemed invincible? With a play like that they are going to lose the match. He pushes the button and the screen goes dark. Paul, who used 5 to be a regular 'Manchester United' supporter, gave up going to football matches some years ago.
Since the day Greta came into his life Paul has had no time to feel lonely. After their unforgettable trip by Eurostar train to Paris Paul and Greta spend every weekend together. Greta is such a wonder! Whenever Paul sees her, his spirits rise. But the thine-1 he loves most about Greta is that you don't have to make yourself out to be a big man. She just takes you as you are, with all your bad points as well as good. And what a good traveling companion she is! With Greta at his side Paul could go anywhere!
It's Saturday, 2 p.m. Paul's feeling restless and a bit nervous. It’s natural. After all today is his first blind date. Tonight he is meeting Greta.

She does light work in the house and helps with the children n return for learning English. Greta would like to work in Britain after graduation.
