Module 1　Europe

　　My fantastic trip to Spain

　　【美文导读】　

　　充满惊喜的西班牙之旅让Anna忍不住把所遇到的奇闻轶事都写信告诉她的好朋友Laura。我们也一起来分享一下她的快乐旅程吧！

　　Dear Laura，

　　　 　Here I am in Granada，Spain！Can you believe it？I'm sitting in a park near the house I'm staying in. The weather is beautiful! The sun is shining and it's just beginning to get warm.

　　My host mother Rosa is very nice.She's much younger than I expected，and she lives with her five-year-old son Borja.He's so cute! Julie and I are staying in her apartment，along with two French girls and a boy from Michigan.The apartment is pretty crowded, but luckily I don't have to spend too much time there.

　　I've spent the past few days exploring the town with Lauren and Caitlin.Yesterday we went to the Alhambra(西班牙格拉纳达的摩尔人王宫)，which was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.It's a huge fortress(要塞) built hundreds of years ago by the Muslims(伊斯兰教徒) who once lived in Granada.There are gardens and

　　fountains and intricate carvings all through the fortress.It's huge－I could have spent days in there!

　　That night we went to see flamenco dancing(弗拉曼戈舞). I loved it！You should have seen the way those dancers moved.After that, we went to dinner in the central square.The food here is pretty good—they have lots of “tapas，”which means appetizers(开胃菜)．

　　It's great to be visiting a foreign country whose language I actually speak. It's hard though，because when-

　　ever I have to talk to people I get nervous and forget everything.My Spanish is definitely getting better，though.

　　I had a great conversation with my host mother yesterday.We talked about politics, and it was so interesting to hear about her views. That's what I love about language：it allows people from completely different backgrounds to communicate with one another and to begin

　　to understand each other.

　　I love the culture here.The best part is the “siesta(午睡)”．Every afternoon，the shops close and everyone goes home to eat lunch and take a nap(小睡)．Then，they go back to work feeling completely refreshed! It's wonderful.I also love the fact that you can walk everywhere.

　　Lauren，Caitlin，and I are planning on going to the beach this weekend.It's supposed to rain，but I hope it doesn't！We also want to go horse riding in the mountains.I can't wait.

　　I'll be sure to write again soon! I miss you.

　　Much love,

　　Anna
