Reading Passage

我爱旅行
I Love To Travel

李小马是一位爱旅行的年轻人。今年七月他打算开始他的旅行。他喜欢认识新朋友，所以他准备了一些礼物要给在旅行中见到的人。李小马打算一边旅行一边学习一种新的语言。

可是哪个语言比较好？韩文是他的母语，英文他说得非常好了，日文他很喜欢但是只有日本人说。他想了想最后决定了西班牙语，因为他听说这是一种美丽的语言，还有非常多的国家都说这个语言。

李小马开始他的旅行后，他先去了西班牙。在那里，他不但学习了西班牙语，也学到了许多西班牙的文化。他很喜欢这种学习的方法，所以他决定以后在每一次旅行中都这样做。

Li Xiaoma is a young man who loves traveling. This July, he plans to start his journey. He enjoys meeting new friends, so he has prepared some gifts for people he’ll meet during his travels. Li Xiaoma intends to learn a new language while traveling.

But which language is better? Korean is his native language, he speaks English very well, and he likes Japanese, but only Japanese people speak it. After some thought, he finally decided on Spanish because he heard it’s a beautiful language and is spoken in many countries.

After starting his journey, Li Xiaoma first went to Spain. There, he not only learned Spanish but also gained a lot of knowledge about Spanish culture. He enjoys this method of learning, so he decided that he will do the same during every trip in the future.
