I have been living in Spain for just over a month now. This week my1came from England to visit me. They were here from Monday to Friday 2, my dad hired (租用) a car in order to get around the area easily. So, we visited Zaragoza, and went to see beautiful vineyards (葡萄园) and wine factories. My family3. came to the school I worked in during the day to meet my teachers.

    We had such a 4 time together and I was so happy to5my new life with them. The trips were a lot of fun. It was my sister who actually put the reason6. the trips had been so special into words, "Cindy, I have loved staying here7. the people who you know and the people who we have met are all so welcoming and lovely — it's 8. who have made the trips so special."

    She was 9, of course. One of my best memories from that 10. was taking my family to visit my Spanish family. Though my family couldn't speak Spanish and my host family couldn't speak English, somehow (不知为什么) (with me acting as a11. for two different languages) everyone seemed to get along really well. They even managed to start making fun of me. Another fact of making the trips so12. was when we visited the vineyards in a village. One of my colleagues (同事) told me that her parents would open the Church for us to see. This was a fantastic experience we wouldn't be able to have13.the people here weren't so welcoming and friendly.

    On future trips to new places, I will14to ask people around for help because they can always make my trips special. It is the15on the trips in our life. Try to ask people around for advice and you can always get a surprise.
