Letter to a Friend
Hi, Fred!
It's been a while since we have been in touch. How has your semester been?
I wanted to send you an email update to you 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. 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!
15On 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 has improved a lot since we first met. 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

I went inside and sat down at a table. I waited for a few minute, but nobody came to serve
me. While I was waiting, I noticed that there wasn’t any table service and people went to
the bar themselves. I went and asked for a cup of tea. The barman filled a small pot with
hot water, put a tea bag in it, and then put the pot and a cup on a tray. I asked for some
milk and sugar and he pointed to a small table in a corner of the room. I picked up the tray,
took it to my table, and then went to get the milk and sugar.
Suddenly I heard the barman shouting ‘Excuse me!´ I turned to look at him, and he said !
