Part 2 - Option 1 · Inglés PAU Cantabria Extraordinaria 2026

Option 1. Write a story about something that happened to you in the past. Your story must begin with this sentence: “It all started with an email from …”

Solución: Sample narrative text (120-150 words): It all started with an email from an unknown sender that simply read: "You have won the scholarship to study abroad in Ireland." At first, I assumed it was a scam, but curiosity got the better of me, and I opened the attached document. To my surprise, it contained official stamps and my application details from months earlier. Over the next few weeks, my life turned into a whirlwind of preparation. Packing suitcases, saying emotional goodbyes to my family at the airport, and arriving in Dublin on a rainy afternoon felt completely surreal. Looking back, opening that message changed the entire course of my teenage years. I met incredible friends from all over the world, improved my English dramatically, and learned to be completely independent. It taught me that sometimes, taking a leap into the unexpected brings the greatest rewards.
