Susan is a student. Last year, she went on holiday to Spain. It was her birthday so it was 5th May. She
did not have much money so she wanted to get a room at a cheap hotel after arriving there. But when
she arrived at the airport in Spain, a thief stole her credit card. She did not have much money, so she
did not stay at the hotel. She stayed in a tent on the beach. It was not her plan, but she liked it.
She saw many interesting things there. She saw the sea, the stars at night and many people. She ate
ice-cream and paella. The weather was nice. It did not rain. She liked the hot days because she swam
in the sea and tanned on the beach. She did not stay on the beach all her holiday. She travelled around
Spain by bus. It was not expensive. She was happy that she had a one-month holiday because there
were so many interesting places to see. She bought some postcards and sent them to her friends and
relatives.
She visited many monuments but she did not visit galleries or museums because she does not like
museums and galleries. She met a lot of new people and now she has a lot of Spanish friends. She can
speak French and German, but not Spanish, so she is very excited about learning a new language. But
Susan had two more problems on her way. First she lost her camera with all her photos, and when she
was on a plane back to Riga a thief stole her purse. Luckily there was no more money. When she
arrived at Riga airport she called her parents and they took her home. All in all, she lived an amazing
experience.
