Text and translation

I have been to Italy twice. My first visit was five years ago. I have never travelled there in winter. Have you ever visited a country on your own? Yes, I went to Spain alone last year. It was a useful experience because I had to speak to people.

زرت إيطاليا مرتين. كانت زيارتي الأولى قبل خمس سنوات. لم أسافر إليها في الشتاء مطلقًا. هل سبق أن زرت بلدًا بمفردك؟ نعم، ذهبت إلى إسبانيا وحدي العام الماضي. كانت تجربة مفيدة لأنني اضطررت إلى التحدث مع الناس.
