Hi Vince,

It's been a while since we got in touch last time. How has your semester (学期) been?

I want to send you an email to let you know how things have been going during my semester abroad here in Malaga, Spain (西班牙). I've already been here for several weeks, and I feel like I am finally adapting (适应) to the culture. I'm also speaking the language better.

I arrived here on September 1st. 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 (地中海) earlier today.

I am living with a very welcoming host family. I have my own private bedroom. We eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner together. On Sundays, we have 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 (本国的) Spanish speakers. They have been very kind and patient with me. At first, it I was difficult for me to understand their Spanish, but now I understand most of our conversations. They say that my Spanish has improved a lot since we first met. Now, I am more confident (自信的) 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. Tomorrow, October 12th, is Spain's National Day. We will have a five-day holiday. 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. Do stay in touch more often. Perhaps you could even come to visit! What do you think?

Best wishes,

Alfred

Kirsten:Have you read the book, The Travel? I just finished it yesterday.

Renee: No, but I've wanted to. Is it good?

Kirsten: It is! But it's quite grim.

Renee: How so?

Kirsten: In the story, a mother and her son were on a trip when they were caught by a group of crazy people. They were kept in a small dark room and treated terribly.

Renee: So it's this grim from the first page to the end?

Kirsten:Yes, but there's still a bright side in it. You get to see how strong parents can be when they want to keep their children from being hurt.
