READING
Hi, Fred!
I’m writing this letter to let you know how things have been going during my
semester abroad
here in Málaga, Spain. I've already been here for six weeks, and I feel like I am
finally
adapting to the culture. I'm also speaking the language more fluently. I arrived
during the first
week of September. The weather has been very nice. Even though it's October, it's
still rather
sunny and warm. In fact, I went to the beach and swam in the Mediterranean Sea
earlier
today. I am living with a very welcoming host family. I have my own private
bedroom, but we
eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner together.
11
On Sundays, we eat a big home-cooked paella for lunch. In Spain, lunch is usually
the
biggest meal of the day. It's also very common for the people to take a midday nap
right after
a big meal. I am actually just waking up from my nap right now! On weekdays, I
take classes
at the local university. There, I met several native Spanish speakers. They have
been very
kind and patient with me. At first, I struggled to comprehend their Spanish, but now
I
understand most of our conversations. They have commented that my Spanish is
improving
a lot. Now, I am more confident to use the language in other places like stores and
restaurants. I am so glad that I decided to spend the semester here in Spain. We
have an
extended weekend coming up, so a group of my friends and I are going to travel to
France
for four days. It's so easy and inexpensive to travel internationally in Europe. I love
it! I look
forward to hearing from you soon. Like I said, don't hesitate to stay in touch more
often.
Perhaps you could even come to visit! What do you think?
Best wishes, Patrick
