Original

I’m going to write about the plans that I have for the next two years.
I’m living in Asia with my husband since 2014. The reason why we live here is that my husband started working for an Spanish company office in Hong Kong.
Last February they transferred him to the Shanghai office so we moved. We are planning to stay in Shanghai for two years more. We have the agreement that our son will start the school in Spain that would be in September 2018. We hope that his company will recognize his work and will find a position for him in Spain. If it is not possible he would look for a job in another company.
While we live in Shanghai I would like to work. I’m looking for a job since we arrived. I hope to find it soon, but in the meanwhile I’m happy with improving my English skills.
