17、 do these things every day.I think that American movies are a good way to spread American culture because people are often influenced by what they see in the movies. Most of the programs and documentaries (纪录片) we watch on TV are from America, and most of the movies we go to see are made in Hollywoo
18、d. In the last few years, the government has tried to protect the Spanish movies. Now, in our cinemas, at least twenty percent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from other countries in Europe. American culture is a part of Spanish life now.

19、 are as much a part of peoples lives as Spanish things. For example, Coca Cola is as familiar to everybody as any typical Spanish product. Ive known about Coca Cola for my whole life.

20、s in other countries. In my opinion, one of the reasons may be the lifestyle of the Spanish people. The Spanish people normally eat at home.On the other hand, maybe McDonalds hamburgers will eventually replace the famous Spanish tapas. Its true that in every city in Spain you can find a McDonalds, a
21、nd it is more popular among the Spanish children than among the adults. In any case, its obvious that American culture is becoming more and more a part of our lives every day. 8.

A certain kind of food.D Every year, I tell my sons what Id like for Mothers Day: a letter, something written from the heart and offered freely rather than bought from a store and wrapped neatly.

25、 always take the time to write to my own mother.This year, my boys will be in two different states on Mothers Day. My mom and dad will be away together, and Ill be driving home from a writers workshop in Massachusetts. Thinking of the fact that many friends have already lost their mothers and that a
26、 few have lost children, I am deeply grateful that what separates us, for now at least, is only distance. It wont always be so, and there is no way to prepare for that fact other than to appreciate the moment that is. My sons know that they can please me on Sunday with a phone call or an e-mail, and
27、 that is enough as I love their words. The very best gift they can possibly give me is their own happiness, the very fact of their busy, full and well-lived lives.Still, knowing that my years of staying with my sons are over, I do feel doleful. The truth is, I miss being the center of the universe t
