📖 Reading Text
My First Trip Abroad
Last summer I travelled abroad for the first time. I went to Spain with my best friend. We stayed in a small hostel near the beach. Every morning we had breakfast outside and then went sightseeing. We visited museums, old streets, and local markets. The weather was perfect — sunny and warm. However, our flight home was delayed by three hours, so we spent a long time at the airport. Despite that, it was an amazing experience. I learned how to communicate in English with people from different countries and how to plan a trip on my own.
