Jessica: About three years ago I went and I lived in Madrid for a year and I stayed with a host family, and there was three boys: one was my age, one was two years younger, and one was, at the time he 9 years old, and it was one of the best experiences of my life. I stayed in a city outside of Madrid, it's called Alcola de Hernades, and it's about a 30 minute train ride from Madrid, from downtown Madrid. In, I also went to school Monday to Friday. I went to a Spanish International language school, and so I went to class with Brazilians, French, German, Turkish, and so that was really good for my Spanish just because I was able to practice without having the ability to speak English, so my Spanish greatly improved, just from my friends, having to communicate to properly with them. My host family like I said was really wonderful. I would take the little one, Javi, my little brother, out a lot, we would go on what we called our citas, which is dates, so I would ask him where he wanted to go for our date and he would tell me, you know, like, in Madrid he wanted to see, one time we went to a wax museum, so he was able to vist the city which he did not have a lot of opportunity to do before that, so with the help of Javi and his host Mom, I was able to like thoroughly enjoy my Spanish experience and improve my Spanish as well.
杰西卡:大約三年前,我去馬德里住了一年,我和一個(gè)接待家庭住在一起,那家有三個(gè)兒子:一個(gè)和我年紀(jì)一樣,一個(gè)比我小兩歲,還有一個(gè)當(dāng)時(shí)只有9歲,這是我人生中最棒的經(jīng)歷之一。我住在馬德里外部一個(gè)叫做Alcola de Hernades的城市,從那里坐火車到馬德里市中心要大約30分鐘的時(shí)間。我每周一至周五去學(xué)校上課。我在西班牙國(guó)際語(yǔ)言學(xué)校上課,所以和我一起上課的同學(xué)有巴西人、法國(guó)人、德國(guó)人和土耳其人,這對(duì)我學(xué)習(xí)西班牙語(yǔ)非常有幫助,因?yàn)槲铱梢栽诓挥弥v英語(yǔ)的環(huán)境下練習(xí)西班牙語(yǔ),所以我的西班牙語(yǔ)進(jìn)步很大,我可以和朋友們正常溝通。就像我所說的,我的接待家庭非常好。我會(huì)經(jīng)常帶小弟弟賈維外出,我們稱之為去約會(huì),我會(huì)問他想去哪里約會(huì),他會(huì)回答我在馬德里想去的地方,有一次我們一起去了蠟像館,這樣他就能去好好游覽一下這個(gè)城市,以前他沒有什么機(jī)會(huì)這么做,在賈維和他媽媽的幫助下,我可以盡情地享受在西班牙的經(jīng)歷,同時(shí)提高西班牙語(yǔ)的能力。
