Subject: A trip to Paris
Dear Jack,
How are you I'm very well. I with my parents arrived at Paris Airport last weekends and took a yellow cab lo our hotel. Everything here was so wonderful! I'd like to tell you something about the trip. On the first day, we went to its world-famous landmarks, the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe. They were fantastic views! I took many photos. Next day, I walked along its wide, tree-lined streets after lunch with my parents. I really enjoyed the relaxing lime. At the end of the travelling, I went shopping with my Mum and bought a lot of things, specially its famous red wine and perfumes. Everybody in my family enjoyed the trip very much. I hope I would travel to the city with you this summer holidays.

Yours
