1		I went to Madrid last August. Skiing in Switzerland is fun too. I don't like to visit cities. For example, New York is very crowded. The town where I live isn't crowded. But there is a big university here. The students like to have parties. I plan to go to college in a different town. I really like to travel. Main Idea ____________________
2		I think I've learned more from traveling than I have in school. Every summer I travel to a new country. I always stay with a family from that country. I also try to study the language. I think it's interesting to learn different customs, but it can also be difficult. Sometimes I make embarrassing mistakes. But people usually understand and forgive you. Main Idea ____________________
