2、oon, while driving through a quiet suburban (郊外的) neighborhood I was so sad that I kept asking myself “Why has my life become so hard?” “Whats wrong with the world?” Then I pulled over the bus to drop off (让.下车) a little girl and as she passed she handed me a pretty earring, saying she found it on t

4、found it. She said, “Yes, and you are a good driver, too. What a lovely world it is!” Then she left with satisfaction. I was touched by her last words.

5、titude towards life. I should be positive about life.At first it was hard, and then it got easier. Every day I could find things to make me happy. Then one night there was a phone call for me at my friends house from a lady who was a manager in a large hospital. She said she had read my application

Spanish people drink Coca Cola, wear blue jeans, watch Hollywood movies, listen to American music, and eat f

10、ast food, and they do these things every day. I think that American movies are a good way to spread American culture because people are often influenced by what they see in the movies. Most of the programs and documentaries (纪录片) we watch on TV are from America, and most of the movies we go to see a

11、re made in Hollywood. In the last few years, the government has tried to protect the Spanish movies. Now, in our cinemas, at least twenty percent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from other countries in Europe. American culture is a part of Spanish life now. Its certain that many

12、things from America are as much a part of peoples lives as Spanish things. For example, Coca Cola is as familiar to everybody as any typical Spanish product.

13、ul in Spain as it is in other countries. In my opinion, one of the reasons may be the lifestyle of the Spanish people. The Spanish people normally eat at home. On the other hand, maybe McDonalds hamburgers will eventually replace the famous Spanish tapas. Its true that in every city in Spain you can
