Dear Sarah,

How have you been? My family and I have just returned from (1)     [a, an, the, --]five-day holiday in Spain. It was great! We travelled by (2)     [a, an, the, --]plane and arrived at (3)     [a, an, the, --]airport in Madrid on (4)     [a, an, the, --]Sunday (5)     [a, an, the, --]next day we went sightseeing and visited (6)     [a, an, the, --]Prado Museum and (7)     [a, an, the, --]Escorial Palace where (8)     [a, an, the, --]King of Spain lives. Of all European cities I think Madrid is (9)     [a, an, the, --]most beautiful! We stayed there for two days and then spent three days touring some of (10)     [a, an, the, --]Spanish islands. I liked (11)     [a, an, the, --]Spanish people very much but I found it very difficult to understand (12)     [a, an, the, --]… language. I had taken (13)     [a, an, the, --]Spanish lessons at (14)     [a, an, the, --]school but most of (15)     [a, an, the, --]locals spoke far too quickly! I really loved (16)     [a, an, the, --]food though; especially (17)     [a, an, the, --]paella, (18)     [a, an, the, --]dish made with (19)     [a, an, the, --]seafood and (20)     [a, an, the, --]rice. All in all, we had (21)     [a, an, the, --]fantastic holiday and we have decided to come back to Spain again (22)     [a, an, the, --] next summer. Maybe you can come with us? All the best,

Kimberly
