Dear Michael,

　　How's your vacation?I'm visiting my uncle in Spaill．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 have I．The tomato festival is called“La Tomatina”in Spanish．It is 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(压扁)before people threw them in order not to hurt anybody．

　　After a little while,the streets,people and nearby buildings were splashed(泼溅)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

　　Twenty-three-year-old Michael Phelps has become a phenomenon(神话)in swimming．

　　At the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, he won eight gold medals．That was more than the whole Australian team could put together．He beat(打败)Mark Spitz's 1972 record of seven wins in the pool at the one Olympics．Phelps has put his name next to seven world records．

　　Nine days, 17 games, morning and night he competed and won．He had to beat former(从前的)world record-holders and gold medalists．He had to turn their wins into old news．

　　Michael Phelps started to swim at the age of 5．Guess which stroke(动作)he first tried? The backstroke．It's because he didn't want to put his face in the water．

　　By the age of 7, he had taken part in a lot of swimming competitions．At 11, he met Bob Bowman who saw the kid's great talent．

　　How did Phelps become so good? He was born with the body of a swimmer．He stands 1.87meters high and has a wide wingspan(臂展)．He knows how to use his body to full advantage．His hands and feet are like paddles(踏板)in the water and he has a strong kick．

　　But that's not all；he also has the heart and will to win．He thinks that anything is possible as long as you put your mind to it．

　　Swimming is Phelps’ life．Every day he spends five hours in the water, swimming about 11 kilometers．He never takes a day off．This is a young man who knows what he wants．

　　“If I didn't swim my best, I'd think about it at school, at dinner, and with my friends．It would drive me crazy, ” he said．

　　“There are no limits(限制)．The more you dream, the further you get．”
