Dear Micheal,

How's your vacation? I'm visiting my uncle in Spain. He lives in the sunny and beautiful city of Valencia in Spain.

Yesterday, I had great fun. My uncle took me to the tomato festival in Bunol, which is just 30 miles away from where my uncle lives. You have probably never heard of this festival before. Neither had I. The tomato festival is called "La Tomatina" in Spanish. It was the biggest and messiest tomato fight in the world. When we first got to the square where the festival took place, it was very crowded with people from all around the world, and many trucks were carrying tomatoes. My uncle told me the crowded people here were around 38,000 and this was more than four times the population of Bunol.

The tomato fight started as soon as the first banger was beaten. Then everyone including me started throwing tomatoes at each other. I took red tomatoes and threw them at anyone that ran, moved, bent down, or turned around. Tomatoes must be squashed before people threw them in order not to hurt anybody.

After a little while, the streets, people and nearby buildings were splashed with red. There was no winner in this fight, but we all had fun. As soon as a second banger was beaten, people stopped throwing.

I really had a great time, I wish you were here, too. I hope I hear from you soon. Take care.

With love,

From Spain

Linda

A young American doctor was asleep when his door bell(门铃) began to ring. It was late at

night. But what could the doctor do? He had to put on his coat. It was a man! He was standing

outside with a hat in his hand. "How do you do?" said the man, "Can you come at once(立刻) to a place out of town? It's quite far but you have a car and I can show you the way. ""Certainly." said the doctor, "I can come at once."

Soon the car was at the front door. The man got on the doctor's car and they drove off. They drove for a long time, and then the man said, "Here we are. This is my home. Now I can give you money, and you can go back to the town."

"But I must see the patient (病人)." the doctor said, "How can I go back without seeing the patient?" "There's no patient," said the man, "No one is ill, I live here. There are no taxis at this time of night, but a doctor often goes out for night calls(夜诊). So, excuse me, here's your money. Thank you, doctor. Good night!"
