• 2．Dear Michael，
     How's your vacation？I'm visiting my uncle in Spain．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 was 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（捏扁）before people threw them in order not to hurt anybody．
     After a little while，the streets，people and nearby buildings were splashed（濺起）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．
