My Year in Spain When I first arrived in Spain for my exchange year, I was full of excitement and fear. I had studied Spanish for three years, but I quickly realised that classroom Spanish was very different from the Spanish people actually speak! My host family was wonderful. They spoke no English, so I had to communicate in Spanish from day one. At first, I made many mistakes. Once, I wanted to say "I'm embarrassed" (tengo vergüenza) but I accidentally said "I'm pregnant" (estoy embarazada)! We all laughed, and that broke the ice. The biggest challenge was the schedule. In Spain, lunch is at 2 pm and dinner at 9 pm or even later! I was used to eating dinner at 6 pm, so I felt hungry all the time at first. But slowly, I adapted. Now, after six months, I feel like Spain is my second home. I've made lifelong friends, my Spanish has improved dramatically, and I've learned to appreciate a slower pace of life. This experience has changed me forever. Questions: 1.What was the writer's biggest language mistake? 2.What was the biggest challenge about food? 3.How did the writer feel at the end of six months? 4.Compare the writer's experience with Xie Lei's.
