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.

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.
